John Lewis Ad.Always A Woman To Me.

[patsyann]

According to The Daily Express this latest Advert is tugging at the heart strings of many Women and reducing them to tears. Myself included. I am that older Woman at the end who has been through all the stages shown and it brings back so many happy memories.A lovely Advert with a lovely song.

Very arty but what does it have to do with John Lewis? Is this how long she has been waiting for a refund or her goods to turn up? :-)

[patsyann]

apparently all the furnishings kitchen appliances etc come from John Lewis.But it is not made clear on the Advert that they are available to buy. A bit of a slip up really .

[another-view]

Ah that explains it. Not it isn't very clear at all. Still a nice advert though.

[Eastender]

When I first saw it, I cried my eyes out lol. If it comes on now I turn the tv over dont want to start bawling again.

[ummmm]

Is it that moving?

[Pea Pod]

I must be in the minority then. When it came on I said to my husband whats this load of rubbish about.

[another-view]

I think it's a good advert but once you've seen it a few times it gets a bit long and drawn out.

[ummmm]

It's a nice tune though....

[patsyann]

I think it is probably down to age. I have gone through all the stages on the advert and it brings back memories even of my happy childhood and teenage years when my lovely Mum and Dad were around, Then my own Marriage and children and now a Granma and elderly. just an emotional thing with me. And I am not usually like that.

It cost £6 million to make,great song average advert

[sara3]

if it gets people talking, it's worked.

[Robinia]

I'm with you Pea Pod. The first time I was intrigued as to what it was for...when I saw it was John Lewis I swore! :o)
I prefer Billy Joel anyway.

[thetruthhurts]

A great Billy Joel song from 1977 as for the ad, sentimental mush, sorry.

[Francis Asis]

I'm with Peapod. It didn't get me there (thumps chest). If you want to hear the song sung properly listen to John Barrowman sing it.

[StaceyMezzo]

I'm a 24 year old woman, and when i first saw this ad, i came over all emotional and a tear appeared in my eye! It made me realise i have all those amazing and exciting experiences to look forward to in my life to come! The song is beautiful too, and goes brilliantly with the story. In turn perfectly captivating the ads target audience, - women young and old!
Its good to know i'm not the only woman out there to feel so stupidly emotionally involved in a tv ad!

[poodicat]

Was it made by the the same team that did the hovis advert,how can they justify £6 million for this, wages must be high on the agenda

[Panic Button]

If you want to hear the song sung properly, listen to the Billy Joel original.

(I cannot bear John Bleeding Barrowman)

[factor-fiction]

The version on the ad is the singer from the Guillemots , not Billy Joel. But it has led to the Billy Joel version returning to the charts today.
I think teh Dany Warhols song from teh Next ad will also return to the charts next week.
Ads can be powerful; others can be a flop This one has had a big impact. That's why the team that makes it will be able to command a high fee

[Francis Asis]

Aww Panic, I'm sorry to hear that. Have you heard the John Barrowman version?
