Alicia Keys is doubtlessly a music icon, but here she echoes some other classic performers, ranging from the bejweled showgirl poses of Josephine Baker to bravaura stage shows of Gladys Knight and her Pips.
The 2013 edition of "Joyride" as the latest country/hip-hop crossover gets a proper video. Big vehicles, bigger tires, pretty women... what more could you expect with a track like this?
Avril Lavigne does seem able to stay forever end: The song sticks to the "Complicated" formula, the video is set at a high school prom, and she's still a sk8tr girl. And despite the super prominent Radiohead references don't expect this video to look any different from what you might expect from the pop-rocker.
If anything, the '90s influence here seems to be more Hole "Miss World" than anything Radiohead...

The Jonas Brothers are back and are all grown up. Okay, they haven't gone the dirrty or dangerous My-Aren't-They-Adult-Now route other stars have taken, but they have arrived at the Land O' Ass Shaking. That is certainly a step toward maturity for the least 'Jersey' of NJ's musical sons.
It doesn't start out as a beautiful day — unless you think Michael Buble is used to coming home to find his wife (played by Jaime Pressly) locking-lips with professional geek and noted make-out artist Jesse Heiman.
