Can a group of cheery kids gets jaded New Yorkers break a smile on a crappy day? Can Sia update this track from Annie for something that can resonae with kids tuning into the 2014 movie remake starring Quvenzhané Wallis as the traditionally red-headed orphan?
Tinashe and A$AP Rocky clearly have eyes for each other, but there's a veritable and vast landscape separating them... not to mention other lovers and, of course, the strippers. But, fear not: The love triangle gets resolved, even if it's a drastic and unexpected way, in this as what unfurls in this typically imaginative video directed by Jodeb.
There's so much magnetism here that the opening visual gambit pales in comparison to all that follows with Usher flexing, stripping, dancing, drumming and nailing an uncanny combination of vintage Al Green (circa shirtless Greatest Hits) and Michael Jackson footwork.
And to guarantee some cross-appeal, there's a parade of beautiful women with just as much a fixation on lips and tongues as you'd expect for a song about, er, kissing.
Tough to argue with this formula: Take hot producer DJ Mustard, hot new artist Tinashe, hot rapper Schoolboy Q and let director Hannah Lux Davis bring out their stylish best.
Although R. Kelly has lately been resurrected as a sort of national treasure, he's still an acquired taste that leans decidedly NSFW — so its questionable whether Nabisco marketing execs are celebrating this high profile look for Oreos?
Nobody will accuse Britney of not working (bitch) on the roll-out of this club banger. Having already been teased online, the full video is a series of dance and beauty set-ups — some in the desert, some at the lip of a body of water, some soft and delicate, and others rock hard with more than a hint of s&m.
Sure, there's the not-so-subtle placements for both her fragrance and Planet Hollywood Vegas residency (and Beats, of course), but there's nothing subtle about any of this: It's Britney back, bitch. And you should stand clear once she breaks out the whip.
Ever wonder what a girl group does after they kick their lazy guys out of the house? Its actually not that different from what guys do, except it's Vh1 instead of ESPN and there's more choreographed dance routines.
Miley Cyrus won't stop, not when she's on a roll that's taken her from the "former Hannah Montana" to undoubtedly the biggest pop star in the world in just a few months.
New video "Wrecking Ball" shattered the VEVO single day viewing record, previously set at 12.3 million views by OneDirection's "Best Song Ever" — a number which Miley and her big ball smashed in approximately 12 hours.
It's currently at 16 million views, in less than 24 hours.
