I liked the meshing of styles here, and it's clear that she can really sing. She has the voice to do well with a full-on power ballad. The video's fun, but she comes off fairly porn-ish in it, and that might be a turn-off to some people. Still, it's a fun first single and a nice introduction to hopefully some better things down the road.

Love the song, but it's another video where she accompanied by her Robert Palmer dancers. Things become all weirdo when the video goes to white screen AGAIN, but the video's nice to look at, and the choreography is somewhat different from what she's been doing for the past couple of videos.

I didn't think I'd be into this video at first, but then the dual characters happened! Okay Taylor, you got me on this one.

This is one of the best songs Eminem's come up with in a long time, though he shouldn't have been singing in the weak chorus to the song. If that had been handed off to a real singer, the song could have soared. The video's a great and depressing tribute to what Detroit's become now.

The video's all over the place in a generic sort of way, but the song's catchy and a lot of fun. Great summer track.

I freakin love this track. I didn't realize they were actually releasing it as a single.
I can't help but think the balloons are a nod to "Up". I love the track referencing the melodies of T.I's "Whatever U Like" and Jamie Foxx's "Blame It" as well.

Here are some music videos some folks here may have missed.....
Animal Collective, "My Girls" I think this is a really cool video. Not sure anyone has checked their album out or single, but I just thought I'd give them a mention on here. Its really one of my favorite music videos of the year.
Jay Sean f/Lil' Wayne, "Down" This British R&B/Pop singer is making a splash in America, I'm sure Lil' Wayne being on his track is helping, but still, he is #2 on ITunes! Which is pretty big. He came out of nowhere in America. The video is pretty good too. It reminds me of Chris Brown's "Forever". Not sure about his Grammy chances, but we'll see and its worth checking out.
Chrisette Michele - What You Do Pretty typical music video, but the song is alright. Still I'm really liking Chrisette's look and all. She is really holding it down.
Kelly has no reflection here. Freaky. I was hoping for a better video treatment than this, b/c most of the video is quite static and listless with Kelly either lying down or wandering around with little to no purpose. It's too bad that Joseph Kahn had so much interference while making this. She looks amazing though, and "controversy" aside, this is one of the best songs she's ever done, and that needs to shine through over everything else.

Great song. I'd love to see this win Rap/Sung Collaboration.

Love the lighting and direction to this. It's a simple concept that's very effective for the song. This is also my favorite song off of "19."

It's nice to see that Shakira is still so . . . flexible.
