t.A.T.u/Tatu - ‘Beliy Plaschik’ Video Review | From Russian Lesbians To Nazis?

This is a bit of a strange detour for Killed by the Video Star, as unlike the usual British or American songs I feature here we have a Russian one from those lovable lesbians Tatu.
Well I say lesbians, when in actual fact they were never anything of the kind, and it was just two Russian […]

Santana Feat. Chad Kroeger - Into The Night Video Review | Why Carlos, Why?

Collaborations in music can be a brilliant thing, making a song much better than it was purely by the introduction of a second artist, or a bit of new blood in to the mix.
I’ve featured quite a few here on Killed by the Video Star, and have been quite praising of the results. But why, […]

Erykah Badu - ‘Honey’ Music Video Review | A Comeback Full Of Album Covers

Erykah Badu? Man, I haven’t heard of her for at least 10 years, but it seems she’s back from wherever she’s been and is sounding pretty damn good.
Right, enough of this guesswork, I’d better go and read Wikipedia, and catch up on what she’s been doing with herself over the past decade.
That’s better. So […]

Seether - ‘Fake It’ Music Video Review | Taking The Piss Out Of Music Videos

Seether haven’t really made it over to this side of the Atlantic ocean as of yet, so this is the first I’ve ever heard of them, but thankfully I like what I hear.
Sometimes that is the beauty of being British, as you only get to hear the best music that comes out of America, and […]

Sia - ‘Breathe Me’ Video Review | Featured On ‘House’ & ‘Six Feet Under’ Finale

I’d never heard of this song, Breathe Me by Sia, until a friend of mine told me about it after it was featured on the television show House, starring lovable British rogue Hugh Laurie.
I watched the clip of it on YouTube, and while the song isn’t to my usual taste, I found it very haunting, […]

Britney Spears - ‘Piece Of Me’ Music Video Review | Paparazzi Baiting Extravaganza

This song, and consequently, the video, have been out for a while now, and I’ll be honest, I was trying to avoid putting them on to Killed By the Video Star.
I haven’t got anything against Britney Spears, although I think she has definitely got some “issues” (putting it very mildly) to attend to right now, […]

Will.I.Am Feat. Barack Obama - ‘Yes We Can’ Music Video | The First Black President?

Something a bit different here on Killed By The Video Star today, with a political music video made to try and encourage youngsters to vote in the forthcoming presidential elections.
I’m British, so the elections are a bit beyond me, although I like what I have heard about and from Barack Obama, and would probably vote […]

Green Day - ‘Basket Case’ Video Review | Is This What Happens In All Hospitals?

I’ve loved Green Day ever since they burst on to the scene with this video. I know they’ve changed a bit since then, but this song, and video still stand up to scrutiny 13 years after it was first released.
I remember the debate about what kind of music this was when it first came out: […]

Bjork - ‘It’s Oh So Quiet’ Video Review | This Song Never Fails To Cheer Me Up!

Bjork has always been known for her eccentricity, and it continually shows up in her videos. The Elfin Icelandic midget always seems to try her best to put out intriguing, and unusual videos.
It’s Oh So Quiet is the one on show today, a video which when I first saw it make me wonder what the […]
