Evanescence - ‘Bring Me To Life’ Music Video Review | Operatic Rock At Its Finest

It’s the end of April, yes, another month has gone by. So I thought I’d take us back in time a little while for today’s review, with Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
This is like a genre all to itself, with a strong operatic voice singing over the top of some classic rock guitars. Call […]

Wiley - ‘Wearing My Rolex (What Would We Do)’ Music Video Review | Foxy Babes Galore

I’ve been quite scathing about both Dance and Hip-Hop on Killed By The Video Star up to now, and with reason too, as both genres tend to be quite shallow, and not very inventive.
However, I’ve hit a problem, as I kind of like this tune, Wearing My Rolex by Wiley, as even though it combines […]

Adele - ‘Cold Shoulder’ Music Video Review | Not As Good As ‘Chasing Pavements’

Adele and Duffy both seemed to come from nowhere and burst on to the music scene in the wake of the success enjoyed by Amy Winehouse on both sides of the Atlantic.
In terms of first singles, Duffy was more successful, with Mercy making it to number one in the British singles chart. I personally preferred […]

Mystery Jets - ‘Two Doors Down’ Music Video Review | Revisiting 80s Cheese

The Mystery Jets are a five piece Indie band from the UK who you probably haven’t heard of as yet. No, that’s not me being snobby, but unless you’re British, and in to new Indie, it’s just a statistical fact.
So I am here to teach you, and to that end, here is their new single, […]

John Mayer - ‘Say (What You Need to Say)’ Music Video Review | From ‘The Bucket List’

John Mayer is another artist who hasn’t really reached any level of fame over here in the UK, so this is my first real glimpse of him, and I’m not too impressed.
Maybe this song, Say (What You Need to Say), isn’t a fair representation of his talent, as he wrote it especially for the movie […]

Kylie Minogue - ‘In My Arms’ Music Video Review | Like The 1980s All Over Again

Kylie Minogue is huge in the UK, Europe, Japan, and her native Australia, but America just doesn’t seem to have taken her to their hearts like the rest of the world. She’s the female Robbie Williams in that respect.
This song, In My Arms, is the third from her new album, X, which is her in […]

Kanye West - ‘Flashing Lights’ Music Video Review | Pulsing Synth Pop Goodness

Kanye West seems to have turned in to collaboration man lately, only being able to release songs if someone else is there with him holding his hand.
But now, he’s back on his own, and with a single that shows the man has more talent in his right pinky than a swathe of the current breed […]

Ashlee Simpson - ‘Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)’ Music Video Review | Damn, I Like It!

We don’t normally get any Ashlee Simpson songs released over here in the UK, maybe because her record company realises they are too crap to release anywhere but America.
However, they have seen fit to release this little pop gem called Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya), and I’m glad they did.
I know what you’re thinking […]

Nelly Feat. Fergie - ‘Party People’ Music Video Review | At Least The Plaster Has Gone

I’ve never liked Nelly, in fact, I’d go as far as to say I used to hate him. Not any longer though, not because he’s got any better, or because I’ve mellowed out in my old age, it’s purely because he’s got rid of the stupid plaster he used to wear on his cheek.
That does […]

The Feeling - ‘Without You’ Music Video Review | Pure Pop Love Song From England

I’ve already given The Feeling some airplay here on Killed By The Video Star, but as none of you seemed to notice, or care, I thought I’d try again. I warn you, if I get no comments this time, I’ll keep plugging their videos until someone takes notice!
This is the second song from their second […]
