Adam & Angelina's "Serendipity" Video Is Finally Here!

All I can say is it's about time! The single has been out since December of 2012, so this video has been long overdue. We finally have it, and I can honestly say I am feeling pretty good about the end result. They had been trying to keep it under wraps (although a few reports saw them in Times Square and leaked a bit of news), and now we finally get to see this "surprise ending" they've been teasing us all about.



Ok, so it wasn't that shocking. The video builds up the entire time letting the audience think that Angelina and Adam are on their way to get married to each other, when in reality they are actually having a double gay wedding. This was a definite response to the extreme negativity received from her anti gay marriage speech during a viral video. The man she was debating with, Adam Barta, is her co-star for this song. Despite this being a bit of damage control, it comes off feeling a bit more sincere than I had expected it to.

What wasn't sincere is the infamous kiss. The reports on this video that predate it's release made things sound hot and sizzling between Angelina and her "wife". While Adam (who is openly gay) had no problem making out with his on screen love interest, Angelina (who is openly not gay) had a tougher time. She barley gave that girl a peck. She's not your grandma, Angie. In fact, she's way hotter. Give her that kiss she deserves.

Little jabs aside, the video is a nice move in the right direction. I wish I could see homosexual rights pushed to the forefront of media more often. Too often gay artists either clutter their videos with hot mancandy or just ignore the topic all together. This is a refreshing feeling to see two people coming together to speak out for gay rights, and show that it's not just a battle for homosexuals, but their friends and families, too. The video gives off an overwhelming sense of positivity and warmth.

The song itself is still a hot item. Pick up your copy on iTunes today.

    "Serendipity" has a surprise twist at the end, with a crucial important message about “Human” Rights!
