WATCH IT: Rise Against "Help Is On The Way" (Alan Ferguson, dir.)

Even if there's a certain irony in saying "Help Is On The Way" in regards to Hurricane Katrina disaster, Rise Against and director Alan Ferguson keep things serious and literal here. The video omits band performance in favor of depicting one family's struggle in the wake of that flood, even if they're just struck waiting in vain for help. Backing up that message is a call to action for fans to get involved with disaster relief and other efforts. --> watch "Help Is On The Way"

WATCH IT: Chris Brown "Look At Me" (Colin Tilley, dir.)

Chris Brown in a cage with a disco ball face? Fire-breathers? A return-to-form quickfire Busta Rhymes and an always solid Lil Wayne on the track? Hypnotic cuts and camera moves, an homage to Mars Blackmon and lots of other little, big details in a graffiti strewn location? Maybe C.Breezy should stick with the videos and avoid live TV, since this clip makes it easy to see why his new album is gonna easily top the sales chart. --> watch "Look At Me Now"
