The last time I reviewed an Alicia Keys song, I loved the actual song but ripped the video to pieces for its lack of anything happening in it. It was a real visit to dullsville!
Fortunately, Ms Keys seems to have taken the criticism on board. Not mine of course, I’m not stupid enough to think […]
After seeing some of the dog shit videos that current hip hop artists are putting out there, I thought we should take it back a bit and go old skool for a true classic.
This is The Pharcyde with Drop, a video so good that I’ve watched it numerous times over the past few years, just […]
Have I missed something here? I mean, this song has been at the top of the US Billboard charts for ages, and everyone seems to be thinking it’s some kind of masterpiece. Are they on drugs or something?
I’m not denying it’s a good song, and catchy as hell, but it’s certainly not all that everyone […]
There I was, all ready and prepared to hate this song, because up to now I haven’t exactly been a fan of Rihanna’s music. But actually, I kind of like it. This woman must have some special powers of seduction.
I liked Umbrella as a song, at least for the first 50 times I heard it, […]
I’m a massive Radiohead fan, as can be witnessed by my gushing review of Jigsaw Falling Into Place from last month, and also the positive coverage I give them on Brit Music Scene.
I’ve been sat here tonight having a bit of a Radiohead evening, playing loads of their songs, and in particular, some of the […]
I was never in to Blind Melon at the time they were actually around, only hearing them later because of my girlfriend, and her eclectic taste in music.
This video however, seems to have been remembered fondly by not just fans of the band, but everyone who watched MTV in the early nineties.
It is of course […]
How has Fergie got where has? Okay, so she’s kind of attractive, in a certain light, but I see better looking women in the street on a daily basis. As for her singing, well, it’s average at best.
I’m not saying she’s completely untalented, as you have to have something about you to get where she […]
It was only a matter of time before this song and video was featured on Killed By The Video Star. The reason? Because it’s one of my favourite ever music videos, and a kicking song to boot.
I’ve always loved Rage Against The Machine, well actually, that’s a lie, I didn’t love them before they existed […]
Avril Lavigne is hot. There, I said it. I can’t help thinking that, it’s just my opinion that she is bloody gorgeous. She’s also not a bad singer, and writes some very catchy songs such as Girlfriend.
Regardless of what she’s wearing, from the nerdy look (which seems to just mean wearing glasses), to the goth […]
After reviewing Ice Cube’s new song Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It last week, I thought I should raid the archives for a bit of an old skool classic in the form of Today Was A Good Day.
This song is brilliant, and worth featuring here on Killed By The Video Star if only for its […]
