Telephone
Lady GaGa & Beyonce
If you manage to look past the blatant product placement of certain companies, this nine minute video epic will literally entertain your socks off!
The video follows the girls on a journey of committing mass murder and going on the run as fugitives, riding into the sunset (think Thelma and Louise as 21st century lovers).
And this visually enthralling ride takes you through bizarre costumes (think smoking cigarette glasses and Coca Cola can hair-rollers), sexy choreographed dance routines, cheesy dialogue, and lots of nods to various aspects of pop and film culture (Quentin Tarantino would be happy!).
Rock Your Body
Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas are back with this futuristic dance video which follows them battling and running away from robots and inspiring people to get up, dance, and rock their bodies to the music. We’re treated to some funky and quirky Autotuned vocals from Fergie (that Autotune’s all the range nowadays), robot break-dancing (inspired by that famous Citroen robot car advert), guns that fire “dance bullets”, and some very stylish futuristic attire. Thoroughly entertaining!
Acapella
Kelis
Kelis is back and better than ever! Produced by David Guetta (who has made dance gold for the likes of Akon, Kelly Rowland and Estelle), this beautiful electro-dance number is a natural progression for the quirky and colourful pop star. The video includes Kelis in a number of different guises and outfits to portray her outlandish fashion sense (I never knew tribal Amazonian warriors could look so good, well done Kelis!) as well as her new sense of direction, in her music and in her life. Visually stunning!
Window Seat
Erykah Badu
This video is one that will get you thinking and contemplating its meaning. Shot from the point of view of an eyewitness following her, it touches on the assassination of John F Kennedy and features audio footage from that tragic day. This video follows her getting out of her car and walking down the road taking off her clothes one by one until she is fully naked (yes, really, but before you ask, they pixelate certain parts), when she gets assassinated in the street. You just can’t stop the creative madness of Ms Badu!
