Usher Feat. Young Jeezy - ‘Love In This Club’ Music Video Review… Finally!

I’ve been waiting what seems like ages to finally get the chance to review this song, and accompanying video, but haven’t had the chance until now.
Because the song was leaked online prematurely, it was then released digitally, and has been and gone at the top of the US Billboard charts. It did however mean that […]

Gnarls Barkley - ‘Run’ Music Video Review | Failing To Repeat The Success Of ‘Crazy’

Along with millions of other people around the world, I was entranced by Gnarls Barkley in 2006 when they released the magnificent Crazy.
I may be sick to the back teeth of it now, unless it’s one of the bizarre remixes which are all over YouTube, but at the time it was a breath of fresh […]

Beyonce - ‘Irreplaceable’ Music Video Review | Clearly Jay Z Is The One Man For Her

It seems that Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z have finally got married, after having been dating for six years. So to celebrate we’ll look back at one of Beyonce’s biggest and best hits of recent years.
I can’t decide if this song is anti-man or just pro-women. There’s a big difference between the two.
In the end I […]

Madonna and Justin Timberlake Feat. Timbaland - ‘4 Minutes’ Music Video Review

Do you want to know how to guarantee having a successful record? Take an ageing but still pretty hot female pop star, a young guy who every woman wants to have sex with, and a producer who seems to have a secret formula for making hits… almost every time.
Stick them in a mixing bowl, add […]

Will.I.Am Feat. Cheryl Cole From Girls Aloud | Please, Make It Stop Already!

I quite like Will.I.Am, both when he’s doing his Black Eyed Peas thing, and when he’s making celebrity packed videos for American Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, but what the hell is this pile of steaming horse crap?
I also quite like Cheryl Cole/Tweedy from British pop group Girls Aloud. She’s probably the fittest and most talented […]

James Blunt - ‘Carry You Home’ Music Video Review | It’s A Love and Hate Thing

I have very mixed feelings about James Blunt. It’s like having a devil on one shoulder who hates him vociferously, and an angel on the other who thinks he is a genius. I’m somewhere in the middle and flit between the two.
He IS a genius, but probably only for earning shed loads of money for […]

Avril Lavigne - ‘Hot’ Music Video Review | Just An Excuse To Ogle Her In Fancy Dress

I can’t help myself, she’s gorgeous, and more so in this video than I’ve ever seen her. So when I was busy deciding which song to review today, this stood out for me.
But enough old man perving, time to concentrate on what we’re here to do: critiquing the song, video, and the girl herself.
The song […]

Alphabeat - ‘Fascination’ Music Video Review | Is Anyone Really That Happy All The Time?

Alphabeat are a Danish pop group, who unless you live in Denmark, you’d probably never heard of until this song came out and started getting played constantly.
This song wouldn’t be that bad if it wasn’t for the sheer joy they display while singing it. You don’t even need the video, as the happiness bleeds through […]
