It is said that to make a relationship work, a couple has to be honest with each other. It doesn’t get much more honest than Taio Cruz’s new single “Break Your Heart,” in which he tells the women of the world that they shouldn’t get too attached to him because they will just be wasting their time.

Cruz apparently subscribes to the philosophy that “honesty is the best policy,” even if that policy includes announcing that you are a pompous male slut who will most likely cheat on any woman.

He meets his match at the start of the video, when he is conversing with a smokin’ brunette wearing a leather jacket and a bikini top while sitting in a convertible Austin Martin. To two make a bet stating that they will each hurt each other. Sounds like a great icebreaker for a first date. The two then head off for their day of high-speed boating and partying on a yacht (The Orgy Boat).

Ludacris, who is featured on the track, introduces the world to Taio Cruz — a British music producer who has worked with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (separately) — by rapping how there’s not “anybody as bomb” as Luda, and that he and Cruz share the ability to make girls crumble.

Cruz goes on to sing, “There’s no point trying to hide it / No point trying to evade it / I know I got a problem / By doing this behaving.” Just like any addiction, the hardest part is acknowledging you indeed have a problem." Cruz not only acknowledges it, he goes on for three minutes about his heartbreaking ways. He evens sings “karma’s gonna get me back for being so cold.”

A huge hit already in the U.K., a BBC music reviewer wrote that “Taio Cruz has done it … He has done the unthinkable. The unimaginable. The unbelievable. He has officially created the Most Arrogant Song of 2009, despite the HUGE competition.” Even with this statement, the reviewer still gave the song 4/5 stars.

Cruz spoke about the song in the media outlet Blues & Soul saying, “It’s about breaking a girl's heart, but in a way that's kinda not on purpose. It's more that I'm just a single guy, trying to BE single and trying to REMAIN single. And sometimes, when you are in that place, you get girls who wanna be a part of what you're about. But, because you're not really ready for a relationship, those girls can end up being heartbroken.”

If Cruz ever decides to get married, he should make sure to add his lyrics to “Break Your Heart” to the prenuptial agreement.

Many Americans will never understand several things that Europeans love. Some of those include soccer, hockey and electronic dance music. Thanks to the German band Scooter, two of those things have been mashed-up together to create the incredibly weird and homo-erotic video “Stuck on Replay,” which happens to be the official song for the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation tournament in Germany.

The video is a combination of Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy” video from 1992 and slow-motion hockey highlights from past IIHF tournaments. It’s understandable that the IIHF tapped Scooter to provide the theme music for the tournament since it will be held in Germany, and the German band has sold more than 25 million albums. But come on, couldn’t they have written a song that was fast and upbeat to go along with some of the more exciting parts of hockey like incredible goals and huge hits? Instead we are forced to watch a lot of celebrating and grown men hugging in slow motion.

The music is actually not that bad, but it’s just horrible when put to hockey highlights. Sadly, when the video veers away from showing hockey clips the viewer is then forced to watch lead singer H.P. Baxxter singing into a microphone on the set of the “I’m a Mac” commercials or it shows two anonymous men synchronized dancing in the streets.

Occasionally we get to see Lithuanian Supermodel Giedré Dukauskaité dancing around seductively or bending over. The video producers must have realized how gay the video looked, so they smartly added a ridiculously hot model to prance around in a short dress.

Maybe the video isn’t too bad after all.

In an ode to Mad Max, the Gorillaz new video for their release “Stylo” is exciting, fast-paced and beautifully stylized. Although there is no hint of a plot, the Gorillaz were able to accomplish a thrilling five-minutes filled with car chases, gunfire and robotic/cartoon gorillas.

And Bruce Willis.

The video starts with a black 1969 Chevy Camaro, heavily damaged and covered in bullet-holes, barreling down a desert-lined highway. The song, which features Mos Def and Bobby Womack, starts to thump as the scene shows an obese police officer eating a dozen donuts by his squad car. At this point the Camaro speeds past the cop, who struggles to get into his car. The video turns to the driver of the Camaro, showing it to be filled with the cartoon members of the Gorillaz.

You may be wondering what the Gorillaz got themselves into. You will not get your answer. One can only assume that they robbed a bank since one of them is wearing a mask, and they are driving a getaway car. It really doesn’t matter though as the chase scene plays out just fine to the audience even if you have no clue what is going on. The production meeting for the video must have consisted of a short brainstorming session.

“Let’s have a car chase scene with a famous actor in it. Everybody good with that? Great, let’s go get lunch.”

But the video doesn’t need anything more because it works just as it is.

Whatever prefaced the start of the video must have started a Gorillaz disagreement. The cartoon Gorilla in the passenger seat is sulking with his face cupped in his hands. The small Gorilla in the back seat has a giant bullet hole in his head, but is still alive. The large green Gorilla, who is driving, is just trying to make a getaway. Once the police officer catches up with the speeding Camaro, the backseat Gorilla pulls out a shotgun and shoots it at the cop car, causing the cruiser to veer off the road and slam into a billboard. This gets the job done, but the other Gorillaz are not pleased with the shotgun wielding little guy.

At this point the car passes a bright red El Camino with a cigar-chomping Bruce Willis sitting in the driver’s seat. Willis pulls onto the road and speeds up to try and catch the group. Who knows if Willis is playing a tough cop — like his John McClane character in Die Hard — or is another bad guy. Either way, Willis plays the role he is comfortable with; the one where he is a badass. At one point he stares directly into the camera as if to say, “Yes, I’m Bruce Willis and I’m in this music video.”

Willis uses the souped-up dragster to meet up with the Gorillaz, where he pulls a .44 Magnum out and proceeds to shoot up the remaining parts of the windshield and side mirrors.

The last 30 seconds of the video makes the least amount of sense as the fat and injured police officer gets swallowed up by the smoke monster from LOST, and the Gorillaz drive their car off of a cliff and into the Ocean. The car then turns into a robotic shark, similar to a Transformer, and swims away.

The End.

Although very confusing, the video is a cinematic joy to watch and analyze. The Gorillaz, hopefully, will make some sort of sequel in order to fill in some of the plot gaps.

“What?” “¿Que?” “Berry” Those are the only three discernable words in the song “Watagatapitusberry” performed by Sensato Del Patio & Black Point featuring Pitbull, Lil Jon and El Cata.

Understandably, the song is confusing to the English speaker due to it being rapped in Spanish. Surprisingly, you as a listener may not realize it’s in Spanish until two minutes in because the song disguises itself as so many other rap songs released in the past few years: fast rhyming with made up words.

The song is a remix of Black Point’s original recording, but only through research was this evident. Since so many “artists” are featured on the track, the listener never can really tell who wrote the song. At one point in the video you may wonder why Nelly was uncredited. It’s not Nelly. It’s Black Point. You can tell the difference because he is not wearing a Band-Aid.

And Note, “artist” was in quotes in that last paragraph because the song includes Lil Jon, whose greatest contribution to popular culture is yelling the word “What.” He mixes it up in “Watagatapitusberry” by also yelling “Que.” The addition of Lil Jon to this track proves the rappers are poking fun at themselves, since this is exactly what the listener must be saying.

After thorough research, the meaning for “Watagatapitusberry” is being argued throughout the online message boards — in both Spanish and English. Well, at least it looked like arguing in Spanish. This reviewer fell asleep in High School Spanish class and is now regretting it.

Some say the word is just made up Dominican slang, and is used to make fun of people who combine Spanish and English while speaking. Some think it has a more vulgar meaning. UrbanDictionary.com breaks the word up into four separate words, which Sensato Del Patio explains to Lil Jon in the video using a chalkboard — which may be the first time Lil Jon has ever been near school supplies.

Wata = hits. Gata = girls. Pitus = for your. Berry = vagina.

Put them together: “Hits girl, for your vagina.” Makes perfect sense.

So maybe the Internet does not have the answers to everything. If the Internet had been invented back in 1991 when Naughty By Nature’s hit “O.P.P.” was released we would have seen similar confusion about that last “P”— which was explained to be “not that simple.”

But without the Internet this video would have never been released. And although the video, and song, does not make much sense the video itself is pretty upbeat and fun. It’s almost like a Latino Men in Black. And let’s be honest, if Men in Black was released in 2010, Lil Jon would probably have been in the movie as one of the aliens hiding on Earth. That would explain a lot.

A new video release from Roscoe Dash, featuring Soulja Boy, will force viewers to rush to the medicine cabinet to start ingesting Aspirin by the handful. If the nauseating camerawork doesn’t get you, the non-stop flashing yellow lights surely will put you into an epileptic seizure. And when it’s all over your migraine is just about to begin as the repetitive lyrics to the new single “All the Way Turnt Up” will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. And yes, that is the correct spelling for “Turnt.”

Apparently Soulja Boy has signed an endorsement deal with UrbanDictionary.com, since nearly every song he has any involvement in forces the listener to head straight for the alternative glossary of naughty words. He started this trend with his hit “Crank Dat,” which featured the phrase “Superman that hoe.” Millions of suburban white Moms were shocked to learn the actual meaning, but not before trying the new “dance all the kids were doing” at the summer block party.

Soulja Boy’s protégé continues this tradition with “All the Way Turnt Up.” According to UrbanDictionary.com, “‘Turnt Up’ is the act of getting drunk and high to thee highest degree.” Once again, Atlanta-based Get Money Entertainment is creating some great role models.

But Roscoe Dash, real name Jeffrey Johnson Jr., tells MTV News that he is not afraid to be different. “The definition of ‘All the Way Turnt Up’ is the new age crunk — a 2010 crunk. I’m not afraid to be different, or do things other people would be afraid to do or do different because they’re afraid of what somebody else might say. I don’t have that thought process.”

Or, maybe no thought process at all.

One may think this while watching the video. Although 90-percent of the video is just Dash and Soulja Boy repeating the same lyrics over and over again in some sort of factory — a factory that builds yellow strobe lights — the heart of the video are the two short stories about a depressed basketball team and a struggling skateboarder.

Although the plot-holes are numerous, the basketball team seems to be depressed during halftime as they sit dejected in the locker room. The skater is struggling as the video shows him eating concrete during a failed ollie from a set of stairs.

All of a sudden, the team captain starts to give an uplifting pep talk. He mostly likely tells them, “Lets show them how we can turnt it up fellas!” The whole team starts to rally around the battling cry of Dash’s, “All the Way Turnt Up.”

The scene quickly shifts to the stressed skater, who is now wearing a pair of oversized headphones. He starts to nod his head as he is reminded to “turnt” it up. He grabs his board and does a massive ollie over the set of stairs.

Although subtle, Roscoe Dash infuses his video with the type of motivation that could be found in most popular athletic leadership books. When you are struggling; when you are at your lowest; when you think that you are beaten and victory seems out of reach, make sure to get really drunk and really high and no one can stop you.

There is a controversy and discussion going around about her songs latest video for the ‘Rude Boy’, which depicted an awful and unpleasant lot of boys who look like M.I.A’s, but the videos director Melina Matsoukas does not believe that there is some obvious and noticeable difference during the shoot of the video.

Rihanna - Rude Boy (Music Video)

M.I.A. - Boyz (Music Video)

In response to this Rihanna explained that the video is depicting the lot of Rasta culture and 80’s Atari vibe and this all what the video is about. Later on, she felt that the director actually tore her video and she was shocked about it. This video was not to rip off anyone’s image at all, but the director actually applied an animation approach with a similar vibe. Before this, Andy Warhol and Grace Jones did the same thing, therefore, I do not think that anyone could lay claim to anything. Similar and alike elements inspire everyone, and it comes together all the way. This is what everyone is calling it, ‘The Inspiration’, but it actually was blatant, deliberate, and obvious copying not inspiration, brainwave, influence, and insight. People just hated off the music video director saying that he merely ripped off the M.I.A’s and sucked big time. There are still no talk made by the M.I.A’s on it, everyone is still wondering what they have to say about all this.

If you watch American Idol, you most definitely remember "General" Larry Platt and his "Pants on the Ground" song. Well if you enjoyed his little song and dance, and live in the Las Vegas area, you can go see him do it live. However, it is not known of what other songs or dances the show might consist of; just don't show up with your pants on the ground. Up until now, Platt has stated that he hasn't seen any money from his quick rise to fame.

Along with the sight of his little performance on American Idol, there has been a mass of parodies and other viral videos having to do with the song. Now, with his show in Vegas coming, he will finally see some pay, and a chance to perform, despite being too old for the singing competition show. According to his manager (seriously????) this is just one of many shows that the new sensation has booked. Rumors have also been spread that Platt's manager (Again, seriously??????) released the famed song to radio stations without the singers consent, however, this was not confirmed. Besides his debut on American Idol, the "General" has been seen on The View, and on the red carpet at the Grammys.

Full Lyrics

Pants on the Ground
Pants on the Ground
Lookin Like a Fool With Your Pants on the Ground
With the Gold in Ya Mouth
Hat Turned Sideways
Pants Hit the Ground
Call Yaself a Cool Cat
Lookin Like a Fool
Walkin Downtown With Your Pants on the Ground
Get 'em Up...Hey!

Get Your Pants off the Ground
Lookin Like a Fool
Walkin, Talkin With Your Pants on the Ground
Get 'em Up! Hey!

Avril Lavigne has a new video out. “Alice” the new single appearing on the soundtrack of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” was a song written to be the theme for the movie. The video which features Avril in the world of wonderland doesn’t quite hit the mark though.

It’s a serious departure from the image Avril represented when she burst onto the music scene in 2002. Its not really a bad song and its not a bad video but neither aspect seems to really seem to work well together. The video is high concept and the song is just average and they don‘t mesh.

The main problem though, probably is that the song and video are confused. What is the song really about? It seems like it could be about dealing with death, but also like its supposed to be about “Alice in Wonderland.” Neither of those really work. Only a few lines seem to apply.

In some ways, it feels more like Taylor Swift should have performed it than Avril Lavigne. It’s not fun or moving in any way and those are characteristics that always applied to Avril’s music. Think about “Complicated,” “Skater Boi” and “Girlfriend” those were all fun songs. With a concept that should have been somewhat whimsical the video and song should have been fun. Instead it was dark and attempting to be philosophical..I think. (No offense Taylor, you just have similar voice and better image for the song.)

And while some may say that Avril has sold out with songs like “Girlfriend” that catered to pop audiences, “Alice” seems to be the true mark of a sell-out. It’s a song that doesn’t really fit with what she has done in the past and it was done specifically for the movie for undoubtedly a high price. Good for her I guess, but I liked the rebel better.

Justin Timberlake and Timbaland

Hot! Extremely hot! Carry Out by Timbaland featuring sexy heart throb Justin Timberlake is defined by those words. Hot ladies, hot moves, sexy outfit, sexy stiletto heels, delicious cupcakes and cakes and two great artists in a music video definitely warms up the inside you easily. Catchy tune and lyrics, these are what the listeners want. Justin with his smart looking white jacket which is paired with a baseball cap sang, “take my order, ‘cause your body’s like a carry out, lemme work it to your body till it’s light out, Turn me on now baby.” Carry out which is a southern term commonly used by customers to pick their orders in restaurants, is the third single of Timbaland’s Shock Value II. His songs were featured by various artistes such as Esthero, Kate Perry, Miley Cyrus, Drake and etc. In the video, Justin and Timbaland dance and rap, looking all cool and cute while the hot looking models dressed as French maids and waitresses to take their orders. “Baby get my order right, no errors, I’mma touch you in all the right areas, I can feed you, you can feed me, Girl deliver that to me, come see me.” Catchy ain’t it?

The music video ends with each and every model biting into a delicious looking chocolate cake with a seductive smile. Wonder if that is a way to say that food is men’s best friend. Timbaland who said that he is done with production of hip hop songs has a long history of collaborating with Timberlake. Justin who recently showed William Rast, his clothing line during New York Fashion Week said that his collection plays an important role by acting as a bridge between fashion and music.

"Well, I think since the beginning of rock and roll, people have wanted to dress like rock stars," he told MTV News backstage at his label's fashion show. "I still find old Mick Jagger jackets that I wish I could pull out of his closet or something. Of course, they wouldn't fit me — very tight. I think we all want to dress like rock stars." Timbaland commented on Carry Out, "That is my favorite, favorite record," "Me and my best friend J.T. — Justin Timberlake. That song reminds me of a 2010 'Drop It Like It's Hot.' All these sounds from all over. We tried to give another slang for women. Instead of 'Your phat butt' or 'Your big breasts,' we say, 'Oh, I need you. Can I be your carry out? Be my carry out. I want you to be my dinner, my leftovers, my everything.' It's a different slang. We're grown men, I wanna be subliminal to females. Like, 'Oooh, carry out? That's kinda sexy.' He too added, "We got a chemistry that cannot be described," "People ask, 'Well, what are you and Justin like?' Can't tell you what it's like — it's a chemistry that can't be described. Something you would have to see for yourself and be, like, 'Them two got magic.' "

Ke$ha Ft 3OH!3 - Blah Blah Blah (Music Video Review)

Ke$ha’s Tik Tok was her massive debut. But how about Blah Blah Blah? It was kind of surprising when she sang “ Just show me where your dick’s at”. This phrase will be remembered by everyone who has listened to this particular song. Blah Blah Blah featuring 3OH!3 was written by Ke$ha herself together with Benjamin Levin, Neon Hitch and Sean Foreman. The song was produced by Benny Blanco and was released to the public in January 2010.

Her music video was about numbers of people are talking without knowing how to stop. She got real irritated and snapped. Taking Tik Tok music video as comparison, both shares about the same similarities which clubs and people. However, her heavily auto tuned voice is able to make one slamming the laptop or radio shut. And there are parts where she jumps inhumanly high. Wonder what is she trying to prove? Nobody knows.

Ke$ha

As horrible as it may sound, her song still gets to one’s head rather easily making him humming the tune all day long. Ke$ha who tries to portray her party nature into her songs is a brilliant idea. Both videos look great, she looks cute in both. However in Tik Tok, somebody labelled her as the drunken Taylor Swift and some said that she looks like a guy in Blah Blah Blah. 3OH!3’s appearance makes the song somehow a little bit better. Could hardly blend in but it is still a nice try from them.

Ke$ha has made her appearances in famous artistes’ videos or songs, before she became famous. She appeared in:

You Spin Me Round by Flo Rida – she was a background singer and has asked to be remained anonymous. Nobody knows it was her until she started to become famous.

I Kissed A Girl by Kate Perry – have a closer look at the video, and you will be able to see Ke$ha in the background in several scenes. At that time, Kate Perry was not famous yet and Ke$ha was broke. So she did not gain much from appearing in Kate Perry’s video.

Leather and Lace by Britney Spears – Ke$ha was the backup singer, hardly noticeable.

Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton – Ke$ha once again sings the background vocals.

The Simple Life Season 2 – Paris and Nicole visited the family when Ke$ha was staying with her mother in Tennesse. Ke$ha claimed that Nicole almost ruined her music career by hanging up on Dr. Luke who gave her a call.

Ke$ha VS Lady Gaga

A lot of comparisons have been made between Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. It is obvious that Lady Gaga is a much better performer and singer although she is excessively dressed up. Comparing Blah Blah Blah music video with Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance, Blah Blah Blah hardly stands a place and not worth to be compared at all. Blah Blah Blah and Tik Tok however have an addictive beat that makes everyone on the dance floor goes high. And indeed these two songs are famous in clubs, as expected.
