Rihanna - pour it up
Well....I don't even know how to start this review. This video is basically porn! Rihanna couldn't have made this any dirtier unless she stood there naked for 3 minutes! This song was released months ago yet the video was only released yesterday (2nd October), the promo has been terrible. For the record the song isn't exactly amazing, but it does have catchy parts. This video does the song no favours what so ever, and the only help it will give it is increase it's view count on YouTube, just like the video to We Can't Stop. The seems to be a running trend, artists making the most 'raunchy' video they can to an average song. Saying this however, the video does get better on the 4th/5th time of watching it, it's just a lot to take in at first. But lets hope Rihanna finds her 'Loud era' image, sound and personality again.

Nicki minaj - high school ft lil wayne

This video is very....normal for Nicki! We are used to seeing her in mind blowing outfits and very, very short clothing. But that isn't to say this video is bad, it is very colourful and along with Right By My Side, is her most narrative video to date! She has many guest appearances, Lil Wayne and Birdman who was a last minute addition. There are sex scenes, which Nicki has tweeted he was extremely excited about. We see Nicki in the hot tub wearing fantastic outfits and finally there is a mansion with large grounds which just add a little bit of extra 'bling' to the video.
Rihanna - STAY FT MIKKY EKKO

Well haven't we waited a long time for this video! It's been months!.....Was it worth the wait? No, not really, but it's not a bad video. It is very emotional but not a lot happens in it. The video consists of Rihanna in a bath....and Mikky outside another bath....exciting. I may not be selling it but it is very emotional. Rihanna gives us some facial expressions that say a thousand things, no words are needed. You can tell she means every lyric, even if she didn't write the song. Like I said it's not worth the wait but definitely go and watch it.
RITA ORA - RADIOACTIVE

This is Rita Ora's new video is for her new single Radioactive. This video seems as though it's been done in a rush, I mean her last single was (by her standards) was a flop (Shine Ya Light). This video doesn't give the song the justice it deserves, because this song could be her forth number one! Another problem, the cover picture doesn't match the video! The way this song has been handled is a right mess! Rita should take control of her own singles, she'd do a better job than her team!
EMELi sande - clown

This video is a surprise for me, I didn't expect this type of video, but then again, when I think about it I really don't know what I was expecting for the video. This is a beautiful video and it also shows off the beauty of Emeli (real name Adele), the way the emotion of the song is communicated through the video is perfect. I wish this song all the success it deserves and also I hope the video becomes a internet sensation.
WILL.I.AM FT BRITNEY SPEARS - SCREAM & SHOUT

Well lets start off with how good Britney looks in this video! I know its all make-up but doesn't she look amazing......then we get to Will.i.am.....when did his demise arrive! He used to look okay now its like he cuts his own hair with a hedge trimmer!!! But lets get to the video, well its 'Will.i.am and Britney bitch', the video is a dirty hot mess, I mean, its like Labrinth has got into the editing room and used his 'skills' on it. Its just very repetitive and doesn't really have a story, its just the same person on the screen several times! Least give the video a small narrative. But this video does keep you watching, for me it was Britney, it was more to see if she sang anything spectacular....and she doesn't so don't waste your time. Overall the video is okay, but could be soooooooooooo much better!
