'The Words' doesn't have Taylor Momsen baring all for art, but does offer more than that

The buzz in certain corners of the internet has been that Taylor Momsen bared all for AMP Rock TV's “The Words”. Truth is that while that might be true at the studio where the video was shot, the clip contains no nudity that isn’t obscured and could well have been done with CG. The scene itself was done as art. Take a look for yourself:

AMP Rock TV's  'The Words' sounded like a great idea to me at first. The concept seemed simple enough – have artists speak the lyrics to their songs sans music, like a poem into the camera that focused on them and band members in an honest portrayal of the words.  Hell, the style is alluring – It’s minimalist and intimate, but watch it for any length of time and you’ll soon find out if the series of films are for you. While some might find that the artists playing with their hair and face are complimentary and expressive, I find it distracting.  The point is probably not to make a music video but to keep things stripped down; still I wonder what kind of different film art might have accompanied the words. Too I’d say that while the series is a welcomed venture outside of the music, there’s something about the way the lyrics mesh with the sounds of a song that really lift the music’s words beyond what could be expressed otherwise. 

So while 'The Words' doesn't have Taylor Momsen baring all, it does offer being: 

"Intimate, emotional, at times disturbing, but always powerful, 'The Words' presents the lyrics of a selection of the world's most influential bands and artists in a completely new way."
