The Worst: #3

Terribletim: "Nitrous"
Rock Category




Please, please, please tell me this is a joke. I can't even get halfway through this video, it's so bad. At least this guy has guaranteed himself lots of hits with the tags he's used...


Xelya: "Legend of the Future"
Pop Category




Three ways you know your music video is going to bomb:
1. 80% of the time, having a story intro to your video basically sends it into the fiery chasm of music video hell.
2. 90% of the time, having a science fiction theme is subjecting your video to endless ridicule.
3. 100% of the time, using a techno song sung by a woman with the voice of a man will make people want to plug their ears in horror.


B.YONEST: "B.YONEST Promo Video"
Urban Category




Once again, I have no problems with the music here. B.YONEST seems like a talented rapper. The problem with this video, though, is that he isn't rapping in it. He's just talking about how good he is. One tip: shut the hell up and show us what you've got.

The Greats: #3

Emocapella: "Cute Without The E"
Rock Category




This is the only way that emo will ever be amusing, interesting, or good.



SHHH: "Fools In Love"
Pop Category




A sort of lo-fi, dreamy pop song put to old school video footage that is very well timed. Not necessarily a perfect video, but certainly a pleasant one.



P-Jo: "JUGGO"
Urban Category




The urban category has been a source of trouble for yours truly. Most of the videos are incredibly similar themes set to incredibly similar slick rap. But when this category delivers, it delivers big. Last time we got to witness Keyzer Sozay's amazing New Mexico freestyle. This week, a white boy spits rhymes about a golf clothing brand. It's rap... for yuppies. Ten bucks am I right says this guy is from Connecticut.
