Biggest YouTube mistakes by artists or ArtistVEVO:


 * 1) "Lawson - Juliet"'s official video thumbnail (by a landside)
 * 2) Choosing the video where Tom Odell just sits in a chair over the one above as the official video for "Another Love"

Seriously, the thumbnail issue with Juliet could have led me to absolutely hate the song (thankfully, it didn't).

Me, and my sister, and the sisters of my mother's boyfriend, and the eldest's best friend, usually do a X Factor/Weakest Link game where we perform and we mark each other.

I once sang Juliet (on an occasion where the eldest's classmate was there instead of her best friend) and I can't tell you how many times the eldest sister shouted out "red boobs" at me after that. I even had to threaten her that if she did it again, I was stopping the game and that we were never playing again to make her stop. I don't think that the Juliet thumbnail was put there to attract any views (who knows?). I know a few of my favourite songs where the video is just terrible, e.g. Fade Into Darkness by Avicii, and I'm not a fan of the videos where the artist is just DJing on a stage and people are dancing to it (e.g. Wake Me Up, Hey Brother, Animals etc.). I'm sorry to remind you that Juliet was one of your top 5 2013 songs, so it'l be appearing on the Home page soon!
