"Everybody's Something" by Chance The Rapper is the fifth music video from his infectious mixtape Acid Rap. Starting with "Juice" at the beginning of this year, Chance has teamed up with director Austin Vesely on three of the five projects and has taken distinctively different approaches to each of the… Read More

So here's a question: What is the most watched music video by a black solo artist? If you guessed something by Jay Z or maybe Rihanna, you'd be wrong. It's actually "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj, #21 on our top videos of all time chart. "Super Bass" is Minaj's top… Read More

Avenged Sevenfold takes a more subtle approach to the badass rock video with "Hail To The King," directed by Syndrome. Set in a white cyc with the members of Avenged Sevenfold dressed in black and tattoos, the setting of the performance portions allow the band standout the way a rock band is… Read More

First music videos for artists are difficult - the artist needs to be introduced to an entire market via one concept, and the video can often stick in the public's head as their mental image for that artist. For instance, if you think about the Spice Girls, I think about… Read More

It was a tough week for music videos, you guys. The two most popular music related videos to be released this week weren’t much videos at all, but lyric videos, so they don't count in our end of the week list. With that said, there were still a bunch of great… Read More

In "Replay", Zendaya's first single off of her upcoming album, the singer/dancer/actress walks into an empty, dingy dance studio and starts dancing by herself. As the song progresses, we see her in two fanicer stage setups - one set up in her dance studio, and another stage set in a… Read More

If you are compiling a list of music video performances that look like they were really uncomfortable to shoot, I've got a great entry for you. It's the tune that I think is one of the most fondly-remembered singles of the late 1990s by rock fans - 1998's "Inside Out"… Read More

Hey remember Duffy? Back in 2008 or so Duffy and Adele were kind of a "wave" (do two people constitute a wave?) of ladies from Europe who had strong voices and one name. Adele had "Chasing Pavements" and Duffy had "Mercy". Adele was from London and Duffy was super Welsh… Read More

Hey you want to know something weird? Before today I'd never seen a John Mayer music video. Not even one one, and I don't really know how that happened. It's not like I'm not a John Mayer fan - when I saw him in concert in 2002 he couldn't even… Read More

Warning: if you are afraid of doctors of have a fear of drowning, you may want to sit this one out. The new video for "This Is Gospel" by Panic! at the Disco plays out like a nightmare as Brendon Urie is held down against his will by a team… Read More

Music videos are sometimes just a good excuse to do some really weird stuff. I'm not talking about the stuff that is overtly and self-conciously odd, I'm more thinking about the stuff that, when you are watching it, you go "wow this is weird". So since it's Monday, we might… Read More

OMG Everywhere LA 2013 Screening

Posted by Doug Klinger on August 10, 2013 in News

OMG! Cameras Everywhere has had a pretty crazy summer. For the first time, rather than holding a single weeklong summer camp in California, they held three weeklong summer camps, with one in Los Angeles, one in New York, and one in London. The final LA camp just ended on Friday,… Read More

Super groups come in all shapes in sizes, but there is only one super group that can get away with song titles like "Sex Never Felt Better", and that is TGT, a group made up of Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank. Their latest video, directed by Benny Boom and for their… Read More

It’s Friday, you guys! You know what that means. It means it’s time to grab a cronut and sit back with the top 10 most popular music videos released this week. At the top of the list is the amazing video for "Hopeless Wanderer" by Mumford & Sons, starring Jason… Read More

One shot music videos are hard. They usually depend on the charisma and camera presence of one artist, and can fall pretty flat or just seem lazy if not done right. However, when it works, it works really well. For instance, Coldplay has done a lot of music videos, but the only… Read More

Director Colin Tilley is a frequent collaborator with Jason Derulo, having directed videos for his songs "The Other Side" (2013) and "It Girl" (2011), among others. Tilley's latest video for Derulo, "Talk Dirty To Me", features silhouetted dancing in front of an orange screen, a setup in a blue-striped room,… Read More

Movies and music videos go together really well. If you have a song on your film soundtrack, why not make a music video and then put some clips in there of your movie? But allow me to take it a step further. What if your movie had an actor who… Read More

Sunday afternoon, we noticed a lot of tweets and Facebook posts directing us to the new Mumford & Sons video for "Hopeless Wanderer". People were very careful not to reveal the concept of the video, but since it's been out for a while, I think we can spoil the fact… Read More

Based on our music video watching history, there seems to be a sort of "sweet spot" in an artist's career where they are up for pretty much anything in the music video department. Maybe they are looking to try something different or shake up their image a little bit, but… Read More

Have you ever sat down and really listened to "Rude Boy" by Rihanna? It's one of my favorites because it was on top 40 radio at the time of its release, and it contains lyrics like "Come here rude boy, boy. Can you get it up?" When you are hanging… Read More

From the first public mention of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience projects, there has been a buzz around them that hasn’t stopped, even nearly six months after the release of the first album. From interactive campaigns, to a weeklong residency on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, to now four pretty… Read More

The first frame I ever saw of Lily Allen in a music video made me a fan. In the opening shot in 2009's "Smile", I'm almost positive she's eating an Aero bar - my favorite chocolate bar. Allow me to describe the Aero bar. It's a chocolate bar with air bubbles… Read More

Here we are again, the end of another great week of music videos. Some people might think the word "end" is a reference to the frequency of butt-related videos that appeared in this week’s most popular list, and they would be correct because it is. One video that didn’t have… Read More

If you are a group of girls trying to levitate one of your friends at a birthday sleepover and you actually succeed, there is the question of what to actually do next. In the case of "The False Alarms" by LA electronic band Fol Cehn, the post levitation doesn't go… Read More

Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo spent a lot of his early career being a brooding front man. He had one of his legs extended to match the length of the other in the mid-90s, for example. That's a great brooding front man move. Somewhere around the mid 2000s, however, Rivers Cuomo… Read More
