This will be a personal weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best videos currently available on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus mostly on current or recent videos. For this category, I am also going to include any live performances on talk or variety shows that I see during the week.

Oh, my heavens! Gavin DeGraw’s piano jumps over Carrie Underwood and unceremoniously flying kicks “Banjo” when it isn’t looking! After spending several months on top of the “Q” Bombs list with his last video, he now moves to the top spot of my “Faves Videos” list! Now that’s redemption, baby!

1) “Sweeter”—Well, I guess I had to satisfy a “sweet tooth craving” this week! I can’t believe this video knocked out my beloved “Banjo.” I hope I can say this more often: “Good job, Gavin!”
2) “Banjo”—This banjo song has great “legs”—just like the girl playing it in the video!
3) “Good Girl”—I kind of like the “bad girl” parts a little bit better than the “good girl” ones………….
4) “Endless Love” —So much competition for this video to go up against. Let’s see if it can move any higher………………….
5) “Over You”—A good video with a powerful song. That is a potent combination!
6) “Dancin’ Away With My Heart”—Lady A stays in the same spot for another week. That’s good considering all of the other good videos on this list!
7) “Lights”—Ellie seems like she got her second wind and intends to beat those drums in the video for a little bit longer!
8) “Georgia Peaches”—Although Lauren Alaina comes off kind of awkward and stiff so far in her videos, she looks totally relaxed and comfortable in this live performance! I actually like this song now!
9) “Never Go Back”—A welcome return for Grace Potter & The Nocturnals! The band looks like they are ready to achieve takeoff on their new upcoming CD!
10) “Watching You Watch Him”—I watched this live performance several times in a row when I first saw it! The band sounds as tight as they’ve ever been and a good song helps!
