Music Vids

This weeks 5 to check out.

1. Demi Lovato - Remember December.

I rather love Miss Lovato. Which has nothing to do with her Disney connections. Promise! I wish I sounded like her when I sang.

2. Britney - 3.

For reasons I am not entirely sure of, I always find Britney's overly sexual songs hilarious. I think it may be to do with the fact they look like desperate cries of attention. Plus, I can also imagine the look on the faces of parents who realise just what their children are listening to.

3. Rihanna - Russian Roulette.

This song is rather awesome, and I was genuinely excited at the prospect of seeing the video. And luckily it doesn't dissapoint. Not the typical lead single off a new album, but that is part of what makes it so special. It is hard to believe that this is the same girl who sang 'Pon De Replay'.

4. Chris Brown - Crawl.

As potentially controversial as Chris Brown appreciation may be these days, his next album may just be the best yet based on what I have already heard. Particularly this one.

5. 30 Seconds To Mars - Kings & Queens.

There is this part of my brain that can not comprehend why 30STM (as all the cool kids refer to them as) are not more popular than they are. But I am not complaining about this. As it means I still get to enjoy their presence in smaller venues. So please, don't check out this video. Especially if you are a tall, selfish person who is likely to stand in front of me and block my view. The less competition the better.

Special Guest Blog! Top Five: Sexiest Videos

By Cleo Samuel

5. Sugababes - Get Sexy - Sweet 7
Now, I couldn't do a top five without paying must needed attention to my favourite girlband. Despite their issues of late, the Sugababes know how to do a pop video like no other group. Get Sexy is their comeback video, and the girls do a great job of 'getting sexy', the camera going from Heidi's sassy smiles, to Keisha's sexy pouts, and Amelle showing off her legs in an edgy outfit whilst sauntering around in a bird cage. If you're not a huge fan of the video, then the lyrics are pure genius. The song is pretty awesome too, that is if you can forgive the right said fred references.

4. Shakira - She Wolf - She Wolf
Shakira is the best - nobody does latina or belly dancing quite like her, [sorry Jennifer Lopez] and this video is just one of the many reasons why. Shakira often does understated sexy, but on this video, she really does unleash her inner she wolf and lets her sex appeal go wild. I defy anybody not to get up and start singing along, especially at the 'Awooooooooo' chorus.... not to mention some of the lyrics are pretty amazing, too.

3. Marilyn Manson - Heart Shaped Glasses [where the hand guides the heart]
For anybody who knows me, this choice is a weird one. Now although the song isn't exactly on my itunes, the video, I think, manages to capture Manson at a stage where he seems to be in a 'happy' place. The video features then girlfriend and favourite actress of mine Evan Rachel Wood. According to Manson, she is the highest paid actress ever to star in a music video. There's rather a large part of me that secretly loves the video, its shocking and true to form in representing the passion in their relationship, and although I don't think Manson would ever be described as producing a video that is conventionally 'sexy', there's something weird and wonderful about this video that you just can't help but watch.

2. Britney Spears - Slave 4 U - Britney
Britney. Hot Sweaty Atmosphere. The Dance Moves. And who can forget the hot pink thong worn over her chaps? Britney's Slave 4 U video cemented her transformation from girl next door to sexy pinup like no other, helped along by her VMA performance, too. Produced by the Neptunes, Britney shakes and sings her way through this song delivering sexy pop sounds like no other.

1. Robin Thicke - Lost Without You - The Evolution of Robin Thicke
This video is sultry, sophisticated, and oh so sexy. If you don't know who Robin Thicke is, he's the man whose voice and suave sex appeal is a couple of degrees hotter than Justin Timberlake - Yes, I said it. The video is not only incredibly soulful, but the song and video help you to set the right kind of mood just like no other. Its a classy video, and to make things sweeter, Robin's love interest happens to be his lovely wife, the gorgeous Paula Patton who you might recognise from films like Hitch and Deja Vu. If this song doesn't put you in the mood for a big dose of romance and sexy time, I don't know what will.
