The last few weeks have been quite tricky for me here on Killed By The Video Star, mainly because the videos that I was reviewing all tended to be uninspiring pieces of crap.
There were a few gems of course, and I travelled back in time a little bit to ensure not every review was a […]
If I see one more R’n’B/Rap video which just follows the same plot, and ticks all the necessary boxes without offering anything different from all the other similar songs, I think I’m going to go mad.
Oh hang on, it’s too late as I’ve just watched Sexy Can I from Ray J and can already feel […]
What the hell is happening with dance tunes these days? Is releasing them once not enough for anyone? It seems they all have to be released multiple times, often years apart.
We’ve already seen it happen with the Utah Saints re-releasing Something Good. Basically the same song as the original, just speeded up for the 2008 […]
This song has just entered the UK charts at number 9, although apparently it’s been around for a while now. However, I’ve just discovered it myself so here’s a quick review.
I’ve never heard of September before, although she is apparently Swedish singer Petra Marklund, and she’s been around for ages as a Europop dance type […]
Any regular readers of this site (if there is any, I’m not sure judging by the lack of comments I get) will know that I’m not a big fan of the current generation of Rap/R’n’B artists around.
It’s just that most of them are generic and pretty untalented, just putting the same crap out there as […]
This is going to split people right down the middle. Not literally of course, that would just be sick, but it will divide people between those who love this video, and those who hate it.
Whichever camp you’re in, you can’t fail to realise what a stroke of genius it is, both in content and delivery.
Old […]
It’s Saturday, so time for a bit of old skool to get highlighted. Here we have Weezer with the brilliant Buddy Holly.
I’ve already expressed my love for Weezer, when I reviewed The Sweater Song, and I love this song and video even more than I do that one.
The song has an unswervingly raucous feel to […]
I’ve got so much to say about this song, the crappy video which accompanies it, Akon being a talentless fool, and the emergence of T-Pain as “the guy who can’t have a hit by himself”.
Let’s start with Akon. He came to mine, and most people’s attention with Lonely, that song which had him accompanying what […]
British band The Kooks are continuing their mission to become completely Americanised, as can be witnessed in this, their latest video for Always Where I Need To Be.
As a big British music fan, as anyone who regularly reads Brit Music Scene will know, I find it sad when home-grown artists feel the need to change […]
Oh dear. Am I starting to like R’n’B? This isn’t a good development. There’s so much I hate about this song yet I find myself liking it despite myself.
It’s the normal fare, with lyrics describing women as mere sexual objects, and nothing that takes it from the decidedly average to the inspired.
In actual fact, I […]
