Wow, I can’t believe this day has actually arrived, but it’s here in all its glory. Yes, I have finally found an American R’n’B song I actually like! Unfortunately the video is a bit crap, but one out of two ain’t bad.
I’ve been quite scathing on the genre here on Killed By The Video Star […]
Gabriella Cilmi has come seemingly out of nowhere to have chart success in her native Australia, as well as New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland. And she’s done it with this brilliant song called Sweet About Me.

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 […]

Even though I’m not a big fan of R’n’B, I’ve always had a soft spot for Alicia Keys. She seems to be the best in her genre with more talent in her little finger than Rihanna has in her whole body.
