Starship: Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

Starship's late-80s power ballad "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is one of those iconic tracks that helped define the sound of the era.

The music video features intercut scenes from the 1987 romantic comedy Mannequin alongside shots of the band performing-especially focusing on the lead singer, who appears in situations somewhat echoing the film's storyline.

Mannequin tells the whimsical tale of a man who falls in love with the spirit of an ancient Egyptian woman, brought to life as a mannequin in a department store as she searches for true love. The video plays on that romantic, fantastical theme, blending movie clips with music video sequences to create a nostalgic experience.

While the song is undeniably catchy and emotionally uplifting, the video may feel a bit chaotic to viewers unfamiliar with the band-there are so many people featured that it's sometimes hard to tell who's who.

What an awesome 80s movie mannequin was and this music video does it justice. The band does a great parody and keeps the vibe right. A fun cameo at the end.

A fun and nostalgic 1987 music video of Starship performing the Oscar nominated song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" from the motion picture soundtrack of "Mannequim".

Here, Grace Slick is the mannequim brought to life to interact with her band just as the film's premise with Andrew McCarthy falling in love with mannequim Kim Cattrall. It's a nice soundtrack clip with many moments from the funny comedy and a little storyline that serves to promote the film's idea and Meshach Taylor has a brief cameo in the video reprising his character from the film.

As for the sound, the music is a pure solid-gold classic of the 1980's bringing joy, emotion and excellent rhtyhm. I just love it and can't get enough of it. It's a great uplifting song. 10/10.
