The video received positive reviews from various critics , with many of them comparing the video 's monochromatic treatment to the 1998 film '' Pleasantville '' . Emily Blake of MTV wrote that " Clarkson reminds her fans that differences really are what makes the world colorful . " Courtney Smith of CBS Radio compared the final scene of the video to '' The Wonderful Wizard of Oz '' . She also wrote , " This sort of cinematic setting is nothing unusual for the director Piliero , although we 've never seen him interconnect so many influences in one video before . " Paul Duren of '' The Dallas Morning News '' wrote in his review , " The video is one of Kelly ’s most creative ones , and with the most ads too . You can see Nokia and BMW getting the " in your face " treatment , but it really does n't take much away from the video . All in all , the video gives a clear representation of the song and drives the point of the song home . " Jayvee from The Round Table also pointed out a similar review , he wrote , " Aside from the insane amount of product placements ( Nokia Windows Phone , BMW , etc. ) , which is new territory for Clarkson , the overall video concept and message behind the song is pretty damn cool . " The video received a nomination for a MTV Video Music Award for Best Video with a Message at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards
