Phil’s Faves: Videos, March 4, 2012

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.

I’m not particularly pleased with this week’s list. Gotye reclaims the top spot for a second time, but outside of that one and “Cough Syrup,” I don’t think the rest of them combined equal the interest I have for the first two………………

Top 10 Videos and Performances for the week of March 4, 2012

1. Somebody That I Used to Know—Gotye with Kimbra
2. Cough Syrup—Young the Giant
3. We Are Young—Fun with Janelle Monae
4. I Won’t Give Up—Jason Mraz
5. Beekeeper’s Daughter—The All-American Rejects
6. Am I Forgiven?—Rumer on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”
7. Give Me All Your Luvin’—Madonna with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
8. Dancin’ Away With My Heart—Lady Antebellum
9. We Owned the Night—Lady Antebellum
10. Ours—Taylor Swift

1) “Somebody That I Used to Know”—I guess weirdness wins out over unexplainable this week. (I’m referring to “Cough Syrup.”) I find the strange images to be compelling…
2) “Cough Syrup”—I don’t know if this one’s going away yet. I still watch it when it comes on………………
3) “We Are Young”—I don’t think the slow motion necessarily helps this video. But I currently like it a lot! Think this one is going to be a “bear” video…………………..
4) “I Won’t Give Up”—Even though the sincerity appears to be real in this video, this one may be peaking for me…………
5) “Beekeeper’s Daughter”—Good video, but it’s on its way down……
6) “Am I Forgiven?”—This was the pleasant surprise for the week! The song was good, Rumer seemed in total control for her network debut, and the band sounded tight! What else could you want?!!
7) “Give Me All Your Luvin’—Dropping fast………………..
8) “Dancin’ Away With My Heart”—I don’t know yet if I think this is a really good video, but I like the comments in the beginning and the black & white photography!
9)“We Owned the Night”—But probably not much longer………….
10) “Ours”—Might be Taylor’s last stand for a while, but considering she’s doing well in “The Lorax,” this may turn out to be a “smaller” interest………………
