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...
