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"

While you might associate the typical American Idol single as something on the level of a treacly greeting card, this debut track from 2010 runner-up Crystal Bowersox is unlikely to get much play on Mother's Day since it's essentially an autobiographical and angry kiss-off to an unfit mother from a newly liberated daughter.
