The US seems to be loving Katy's singles. Her Teenage Dream rose to 4th place while California Gurls is hanging onto the 8th place. On Billboard's Hot 100 it's the other way around. Back to the freshly released video, it's not that ... special.

Actually you know what...she got the videos wrong. The Teenage dream one should have been for California gurls because of the beach, sun, parties, friends and the sweet, sugary, dreamy video of Cali gurls would've fit her teenage dreams with a few adjustments.

Since it's a dream I expected something more. I expected the dreams of an optimistic, twilight obsessed girl not something quite...normal.

Kanye West. Power. Music video. Renaissance art?


It's fascinating. It's short yet reaches great lengths. Will avoid any kind of cuts on TV, unlike most of Gaga's work. People were actually comparing the two, wondering if it's worth going trough the trouble of a ten minutes video when Kanye's video is just as memorable and has under 100 seconds.

Props to whoever did the editing on the few seconds of footage. Great work right there.

Words can't give a fair description of what is really going on in here.

Eminem's rap and Rihanna's excellently edited vocals on Love the way you lie received an equally awesome video. Hit play and replay again and again and again...



Transformers and Lost fell in love in the bodies of the sexy Megan Fox and rebellious Dominic Monaghan. Eminem and Rihanna give just as great performance, with the ladies edging out a bit on the toughs.

Megan's acting was excellent in my opinion. I hope the autobots are crying oil for her. Might seem like she's been taking some acting lessons, just to give her ex director a cold slap in the face. Well done you crazy pyromaniac.

Dominic seems to have a problem with things written on his hands. Remember Lost? Now Cindy's phone number, the intrigue. Punching walls and breaking mirrors gets fixed by a teddy bear and a flower.

Rihanna's new look debuts in the video, her voice gives me chills. Her subtle face acting expressions surprised me in a pleasant way. I'm digging her new look, plus it fits the whole fire theme. Looking good.

Eminem is a bit out of place in this whole thing. Literally. A corn field? Really? I know it's beautifully filmed, the whole flare effects are great, I've been looking for a summer field wallpaper for a while but that doesn't mean it makes you relevant in this context. Best thing he did was give a reason for the omnipresent flare effects, thank you.

Best [interpreting] scene is probably the one where Eminem is rapping Where you going / I'm leaving you / No you ain't. That and the funny hands in the air scene where they both seem high. Or maybe druken with love?



Dance in the Dark is Gaga's next/current single. It has been released to the aussie radios last week. Also it had an official cover since November and a remix of it is included on Gaga's latest musical release: The Remix [A remix for each of her singles].



Back to DITD: It is the opening song on her tour, it's what makes the crows start roaring so I think it will be more than welcomed. Rumor has it that it's only an AU single, that it won't have a video, that it's only a test and blah blah. No matter what the case is IT is an awesome song. Enjoy!

The sampled and remastered beat of this track is epic. Lyrics are so Kesha-licious I wasn't expecting any less.



Remember the white coat and clean hair? Didn't last for long.


Please start watching the video and stop reading. Spoilers and own thoughts below.



Brilliant music choice. Superb. Songs are great themselves but combined with the idea and graphical results they make a great commercial. You can't say very often that you love watching commercials but this is the case as it's even been nominated for the best TV commercial of the year. Don't know any more about those awards but I'm sure Old Spice has been nominated as well.
