Oh Land Drops New Single And Video “Speak Out Now”
Fri Feb 10 2012 by Becky Bain
Perhaps to get a bit more people on board the Oh Land train, the Danish singer is re-releasing her self-titled sophomore album — which was so good, it landed a spot on our Favorite Albums Of 2011. "Speak Out Now" is the new single from the re-release, and though it's a bit more accessible (ie. less interesting) than her singles "Sun Of A Gun" and "White Nights", the video brings it up a notch. In the clip, we get to see Oh Land (and her amazing cheekbones) becoming one with nature as she frolics through the forest and swims around a flooded greenhouse. Watch below. More »
Kanye West & Jay-Z’s “Ni**as In Paris” Video: Review Revue
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
Jay-Z and Kanye West have double reason to celebrate — their Watch The Throne single "Ni**as In Paris" just went double-platinum, and their seizure-inducing video (filmed at the duo's final tour stop at LA's Staples Center last December) received a fair amount of positive reviews from critics and fans alike. (Though it's quite possible that many epileptics did not react favorably to the video's kaleidoscopic effects and flashing lights.) See what everyone was saying about Jay and Kanye goin' gorillas in their visually stimulating concert vid.

Flo Rida Skydives Over Dubai In “Wild Ones” Video
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Becky Bain
As Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" continues to crawl up the Hot 100 (it's currently at its peak position at #3), the MC is having some majorly good feelings in his fun-loving new video for "Wild Ones". In the vid, the Miami native travels around the world to Dubai, and keeps busy with a full schedule of wild activities: sky-diving (yep, that really is Flo falling out of a plane), air-boating, and partying the night away. Sia, who is featured on the track, unfortunately sits this one out. What, could Flo not afford one more plane ticket to UAE? We wanna see Sia skydive, too! Vid below. More »
Jay-Z, Kanye West, Will Ferrell & Flashy Effects Fill “Ni**as In Paris” Video
Thu Feb 9 2012 by Robbie Daw
If you were expecting some fancy scenery from the City Of Lights to play into the video for Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne hit "Ni**as In Paris", then you're out of luck. The clip for the often-performed song is instead comprised mostly of footage shot last December during the hip hop duo's final Staples Center gig in Los Angeles. Some headache-inducing (or, as the intro warns, epileptic fit-inducing) camera effects and a cameo by Blades Of Glory star Will Ferrell are mixed in for the heck of it. Watch below.

Ladyhawke Reveals 70s-Inspired “Black, White & Blue” Video
Tue Feb 7 2012 by Becky Bain
The concept behind Ladyhawke's video for her single "Black, White & Blue", from her forthcoming album Anxiety, is based on the 1978 movie Eyes Of Laura Mars, which starred Faye Dunaway as a fashion photographer who can tap into the mind of a serial killer. As far as we're concerned, the video is sorely lacking in murders and serial killers, and is swimming in awkward model dance moves. She captured those creepy eyes from the movie poster pretty well, though. Check it out below. More »
Lady Gaga Finally Releases Jo Calderone “You & I” Fashion Film
Tue Feb 7 2012 by Becky Bain
Five months after the release of her last "You & I" fashion film (and six months from the premiere of the original video), Lady Gaga has unveiled a new clip with her dressed up as her male alter-ego, the chain-smoking greaser Jo Calderone (as well as her barn-dancing persona). But why now? To get people's attention off other ubiquitous pop stars taking over the news? To remind people that "You & I" is nominated for a Grammy? Or can we expect more from Jo in the not so distant future? Our guess: the Haus Of Gaga forgot they still had this one in the bin and decided to just throw it out there. Grab some second-hand smoke from Mr. Calderone's cigarette below. More »

OK Go Get A Musical Assist From A Chevy In Their “Needing/Getting” Video
Mon Feb 6 2012 by Becky Bain
For their incredible video for "Needing/Getting", OK Go have initiated a new member into the band — a Chevy Sonic. The infinitely creative foursome — still rockin' those primary colors! — teamed up with Chevrolet for their newest clip, which features over 1,000 instruments (288 guitars, 55 pianos, and 1,157 homemade instruments) set up over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. And who (or should we say, what) is playing all those instruments? The Chevy, of course! Be amazed below. More »
Watch Tony Bennett And John Mayer’s “One For My Baby” Video
Sat Feb 4 2012 by Idolator Staff
Tony Bennett pulled out all the stops for his Grammy-nominated Duets II album, joining forces with some of the most talented musicians of the last decade such as Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga. And the streak continues as we get a music video for his sonic rendezvous with John Mayer, "One For My Baby (One More For The Road)." The two do some old-fashioned lounge-style riffing as we spy them in the studio (in suits, of course — this is Tony Bennett we're talking about). Fortunately, there seems to be no nude sketching to speak of. Watch it below.

Melanie Amaro Bests Elton John In Super Bowl Commercial
Fri Feb 3 2012 by Idolator Staff
Melanie Amaro first earned "respect" when she was crowned the first winner of The X Factor (which, don't know if you've heard, is going through some growing pains at the moment). After signing a $5 million contract with Epic Records, Melanie has also landed a starring role in a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial. In it, Sir Elton John plays a tyrannical king who doesn't let his people drink Pepsi. Melanie saves the day by belting out Aretha Franklin's classic, and blows Elton down to the chamber below, releasing Pepsi for all! Watch it after the jump. More »
