The b5 music channel is today celebrating the diversity of our music loves by compiling a list of songs that you should all add to your iPod or mp3 player. But obviously with this being a video blog, that wouldn’t quite do it.
So here instead are two classic videos which I adore but are woefully […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
