Idolator
The Pete Wentz project FNMTV promises a world of entertainment this week for those of you who aren't seeing Mission of Burma tonight (grrr). This week's all-over-the-place lineup of videos is rather charming—save the inclusion of the madness called Shwayze.
Noted Muslim sympathizers the Jonas Brothers take the stage this week, which is probably a warmup for their appearances on every media outlet known to man in the forthcoming weeks. It's inevitable. We're losing control of our nation to the Jonases, a fate that will only be avoided if Tokio Hotel finally challenges the brothers to a duel.
The videos premiering tonight range from good to interesting to Shwayze.
Shwayze - "Corona & Lime"
Lesley Roy - "I'm Gone, I'm Going"
Slipknot - "Psychosocial"
Nelly - "Body On Me" (featuring Akon and Ashanti)
It's nice to see some metal scheduled in a slot outside of Headbanger's Ball these days, and the Lesley Roy song is enjoyable in a Paramore-light sort of way. I'm dubious about the Nelly track, if only because it's called "Body On Me'" and has both Akon and Ashanti guesting on it.
And then there's Shwayze. I understand that MTV is promoting an entire series featuring Shwayze and his lovable sidekick Cisco Adler, but is anyone asking for more of this guy? There hasn't been an act that's been more pushed down our collective throats, yet shrugged at by the public, in recent memory. Meanwhile, despite the public rejecting Cisco Adler any way it can, he keeps finding a way to sneak his way back into our lives.
Still, Slipknot! Perhaps they'll wear some new new masks.

"Nelly - "Body On Me" (featuring Akon and Ashanti)"
Not to be confused with that Ja Rule body joint right? Does that song even still exist?
+ Watch video
Yes, yes it does.
The above Jonas Video @1.47-- Can i see a whole video of the JBs facing off against Machete!?!?
This is third video Nelly has released in the past four months -- fourth overall -- for Brass Knuckles, which is still not to be released for at least two months. This would be a Curtis-level embarrassment if people even noticed that Nelly still existed.
I'm no Jonas Brothers fan, but I'd much rather see them take over the US than the alternative. I'll be dead before I let that other aborted-anime mess of a band into my house.
@Al Shipley: Srsly - I wonder when the album gets pulled altogether, Nicole-style.
That Nelly video was shockingly cliche.
I didn't quite get the show but I am rooting for it to figure out its flow...and it was nice to see my favorite misunderstood boys relatively well treated with the network that usually prefers to poop all over them.
Exciting/scary, (even if its just for the $$$$$ that follows them). Go Jonases.
can I just say that I am rooting for this show? They premiered a Slipknot video, had a nice performance from Jonas Brothers and they kind of made fun of Shwayze. What more do you want from MTV?
@JohnDoe:
I know right. Almost makes you wish enough artists produced music videos consistently and/or on the regular so that we could get this five days a week TRL style, or at least 2-3 times a week. They gotta ditch Pete Wentz and/or get him stage presence tho'. It's like someone gave your Nirvana/Blink-182 loving [judging a book by its hoodie, haircut, and tight jeans. Sorry], volcom wearing, somewhat shy little brother his own music show.
TH and the jobros are nothing alike,so why are people comparing the two?...since,the jobros don't stand a chance to TH...jobro songs mean nothing,but relationships and love,TH songs actually mean something more than relationships and heartbreak =p
