GENERALLY GOOD
BEYONCE KNOWLES "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME"
Unlike most music videos I'm a fan of, this one is legit good. Although it's pretty indulgent with the vintage homemaker imagery, it's sexy and fun! It's everything a music video is supposed to be. This a good, underrated song.
LADY GAGA "ALEJANDRO"
No surprise here if you know me just a little bit. I love Lady Gaga. Love the choreography. Kind of confused about imagery/plot though--unless it really is about a gay army wrestling team gangbanging a woman who happens to be a queen, nun, and rock star all at the same time, and then someone dies (probably that someone is named Alejandro) all set in the city of Metropolis. Although this is not my fav Gaga music video and it kinda smells like Madonna, I still dig it.
OK GO "END LOVE"
These guys are always cute. I love the goose. That's a goose right? Seagull? Duck? One of those is right.
KID CUDI "PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS"
I'm thinking Kid Cudi's goal for this music video was to visually describe what it's like to be really, really high. Job well done!
B.O.B. "AIRPLANES" FT. HALEY WILLIAMS
This video has pretty lights. And I like moving pictures.
FOR CHOREOGRAPHY MOSTLY:
CIARA "RIDE" FT. LUDACRIS
Not saying this video is the best or that Ciara is easy on the eyes, but I love the dancing. Can't. Help. It. I love this type of music.
JUSTIN BIEBER "SOMEBODY TO LOVE" FT. USHER
Breakdancers are fun to watch. And hip hop choreography is extremely entertaining. Aside from the ninja fire dancers (whaaa??), good video.
HONORABLE MENTIONS FOR NUMBER OF COSTUME CHANGES AND EYE CANDY
KATY PERRY "CALIFORNIA GURLS" FT. SNOOP DOGG
Looove this song, but was sligtly dissapointed with the video. It was kinda slow, and girls trapped in objects with no breathable air inside (see plastic wrap, jello cube and a bubble) seemed slightly disturbing. Despite my complaints, the imagery is still satisfactory (glittery daisy dukes, candy, makeup, wardrobe, wigs, etc.).
CHRISTINA AGUILERA "NOT MYSELF TONIGHT"
Okay, this video was disturbing too, but it was still fun to look at. First prerequisite for a music video fulfilled right there. Although I should really like this video (considering my taste), I can't bring myself to really LOVE it. I like spotting all of the costume changes though.
HONORABLE MENTIONS FOR BEING AWESOMELY BAD
MILEY CYRUS "CAN'T BE TAMED"
She's a bird, trapped in a cage...she can't be tamed. Get it!?
MASTER SHORTIE "BRINGING IT BACK"
Any music video or song based on the 1980s can never be fully taken seriously. Whatev, it was fun!
Kid Cudi made two videos for 'Pursuit of Happiness?" The one I am familiar with is the intense party scene one. I like that one better, it's less depressing.
