Photoshoot 8: Billboard Hot 100

[Natalie Portman]

Moves Like Jagger



"I don't need to try and control you, just look into my eyes and I'll own you..."

"Moves Like Jagger" is a sexy song about confidence and owning who you are by looking hot. Natalie's fierce in this photo, as is her gaze. She owns the audience with her eyes in a sensual, effective manner.

[Amanda Kimmel]

Amanda: I can totally see how it relates to this song - I don't know this song even though I DO like Maroon 5 and Christina - but at the same time, this photo gives me no interest in listening to it. I don't see you "owning who you are" - I see you being left out in the cold. The face isn't at all confident, and that's what your description says it should be. I see this more as fear than sexy. I don't feel the pose, even if it does relate to the song - but would Jagger be left in the cold?

[Émilie Simon]

Émilie: Yes, this song is about flaunting your sexiness, and owning it. You are flaunting your sexiness, but you are not owning it. Well everything in this picture is owning it, except your eyes. Your actual eyes, yes, it's sexy, but there's nothing to show us that you are owning it. Perhaps a bit of a "smize" and we would've been blown away.

[Emma Watson]

Emma: Seriously, you guys? I see the smoulder of ownage here. In fact, I like that term so much that I'm going to call it Smownage. From now on I expect you all to use it. And to credit me with its creation.

But enough about me. I think this is a very good shot. The pose is good, the Smownage is off the charts, and the accessories really tie into it well. My main gripe is with the coloring of the shot, as the dullness of it kind of detracts from you, but in the grand scheme of things that's only a minor quibble. Nice work!

[Yoona Im]

Yoona: I loves this photo too. I think you look very sexy and I love the fact that you being flirty here. I don't think we ever saw this side of you. I love the styling. Sexy but you not over do it.
