No embedding means no need for a cut on these three...

6. MILEY CYRUS - "See You Again" (44 pts)

There doesn't seem to be a video for this, or at least it's not on YouTube - here is the "full length album version".

5. BRITNEY SPEARS - "Gimme More" (46 pts)

I'd never actually seen the video before! (embedding disabled). The whole grainy handheld cam thing is creepily Lynchian i.e. I WUZ RIGHT.

4. AVRIL LAVIGNE - "Girlfriend" (54 pts)

The Manichaean video has been embed-disabled: find it here!. Was in 3rd place for ages until a late surge for...[FIND OUT IN A COUPLE OF HOURS!]

OMG 'See You Again' is FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

It's like...Bond theme surf guitar + sleeeeek beats + song Garbage would have come up with if they hadn't been so uptight (not that I didn't love them back in the day for the brief moment in time that they were good) + sophisticated hushed backing vox + really amazing lead vocal, menacing and bratty and elusive and sugary all at once + more than a hint of electroclash sneery attitude + "My best friend Lesley says, "Oh, she's just being Miley" which I heard as "my best friend Ashlee" the first three times + is that 'Sunglasses At Night' it nearly turns into at one point?

I can't stop listening to it!

No fucking wonder it's crossing over. It's AMAZING.

AMAZING.

Absolutely. It's one of my 5 or 10 favorite songs of this decade.
