God I can't stand that awful vid with Scarlet whatsherface. It spoiled a perfectly good song.

Have you seen the vid for Avril's 'When You're Gone'? It's absolutely ridiculous and has enhanced the song for me greatly. Apparently Avril came up with the idea herself...

I haven't! I hated the song so much I never bothered to watch it. Must remember to.

Favourite video of this year for me is Dizzee Rascal's 'Sirens', which somewhat redeems a song i don't particularly like...

I like literalism in pop videos a lot. Like Beyoncé having an Actual Box To The Left, To The Left in 'Irreplaceable'.

If you get bored then fast forward to the last 30 seconds for the full gobsmacking OTT splendour.
