WATCH IT: Scott Weiland "Tangle With Your Mind"

This is probably not the Scott Weiland you expect: Happy, dipping his toe in Americana music and taking part in a video that tells a simple love story with lots of cute paper animation touches. The love affair in the video turns out to be his imagination, but, no you're not imaging. This is Scott Weiland without the demons and without the edge (and the lack of edge ain't necessarily a bad thing). --> watch "Tangle With Your Mind"

WATCH IT: Chris Brown "I Can Transform Ya"

The prevailing notion was that Chris Brown would go "hard" when he made his comeback after Rihannagate. Sure enough, that's what we get. Brown is dressed all in black, baring his chest, even boasting a menacing little wisp of a mustache, while the guest rapper of choice is bad boy Lil' Wayne (no stranger to legal problems himself) in full-on robo(dose)tic free association. Director Joseph Kahn grabs hold of the "I Can Transform Ya" song title and theme — not to mention lyrics that mention Optimus Prime from Transformers — to deliver a video that uses lightening quick transforming effects to transition from person to machine and back again.
