It must be hell being in Destiny’s Child, otherwise why would so many former members have left over alleged “personality clashes”?
On top of that, you have to put up with playing second fiddle to Beyonce Knowles, who, let’s face it, is the best looking, and probably most talented singer in the band.
But then you have […]
It’s time for some old skool New York hip hop now, and for that we need to turn to none other than the Beastie Boys, who long before Eminem, were proving white people can rap.
I’ve already reviewed Intergalactic on Killed By The Video Star, which I of course loved, and Alive is no different in […]
How do you follow up a massive hit when this time you don’t have Timbaland’s seemingly magic hands at the mixing desk? Just put out more of the same… the work is already done.
That’s a bit unfair, but this song does feel a bit slow and plodding after One Republic’s hit Apologize. There’s just less […]
Those of you outside of the UK may not have heard of Duffy yet, but along with Adele, she is being touted as the new Amy Winehouse, even though the last time I checked, the old one is still with us.
Basically, the British music industry works like this: A really successful artist makes a name […]
I only know these guys from Blurry, and She Hates Me, both singles which did very well over here in the UK in 2002. But then since? I’ve heard absolutely nothing from them, until now.
The song starts off slightly subdued, and a bit weird with the lead singer Wes Scantlin’s whiny voice giving it a […]
After reviewing Ice Cube’s latest Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It, and then the brilliant Today Was A Good Day, I thought I should complete the trio with this one, just so I could put ass in a title.
Even though this is only 8 years old, it’s shocking how much hip hop has moved in […]
This is such a striking video, I knew as soon as I saw it on British television the other day that I had to review it here on Killed By The Video Star.
The question is: Does the weird and wonderful make-up sported in the first half of the video improve the Sugababes look or not?

With it being Valentine’s Day today, I couldn’t resist reviewing this song by Richard Hawley, which is perfect for the day, with both the title, and the lyrics summing up the meaning of Valentine perfectly.
Richard Hawley, for those who don’t know, is a British singer songwriter, who has been in various bands, but more recently […]
Woah, this is going way back, but I couldn’t resist as it is my favourite Strokes video, and one of my favourite songs of theirs.
Watching this just makes me wonder why there aren’t more music videos inspired by Tron, it practically begs to be stylistically copied after all.
The thing is, this could have actually […]
I’d never heard of Lupe Fiasco before this song came out, but now I hear him everywhere I go, be it the local pub, shopping mall or on every music television channel this side of MTV.
Is he Kanye West’s younger brother or something? As he looks and acts like a mini Kanye, with the same […]
