Music video[edit]
The video for "Worth It" shows Wanessa, accompanied by dancers, dancing to music. The singer and the dancers wear several different outfits throughout the video, alternating between the colors black, white and red, as well as the backdrop. Special effects simulating sprayed ink are included in some scenes.[5] The video was released on the singer's account on YouTube, on November 16, 2011 and it was directed by Luis Fiod and creative director of photography, Henry Gendre.[6]
Critical reception[edit]
The video received mixed reviews. The editors of the site Vírgula, from UOL said: "Wanessa continues strong in its goal of becoming the great diva of the Brazilian LGBT. Her new video, Worth It brings a lot of energy choreography and "banging" of hair. For those who do not know, "Ram-hair" is the nickname given to the type of house with female vocal pop ballads popular gay. Accompanied by eight dancers and colorful special effects, the video has everything to consecrate Wanessa in various segments of the public."[7]
Already the site has made three three Chick criticism, saying that "Wanessa, the "American singer from Brazil". (...) Truth be told, she has done things properly, all well produced. But still lack a bit of salt, right? Music videos, dances, songs too bureaucratic. She needs a little innovation ...".[8]
