Phil’s Faves: Videos, April 15, 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.

Two old favorites (“Lights” and “A Thousand Years”) reappeared on this week’s VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown, so they are happily welcomed back with big open arms! The banjo continues to rule over all other instruments on both faves lists for a second week! Will Carrie Underwood be able to compete with the sex appeal of Rascal Flatt’s “Banjo”?…………………………

3) “Sweeter”—This Gavin DeGraw video is both hot and good!
4) “Endless Love”Shania sounds and looks great!
5) “Dancin’ Away With My Heart”—Waiting for something better to come along and push it down…………
6) “A Thousand Years”—Woohoo! Christina Perri returns to the countdown list after a loooooooooong layoff! I don’t know how long she’ll be able to hang around with this song again, but I am happy to see interest in it again!
7) “Somebody That I Used to Know”—Uh, Gotye. I hate to say this, but we might be better off as friends as your stay on this list is starting to wane. I hope you don’t take it personally. Luckily, I didn’t let you borrow any of my records……………..
8) “Lights”—I guess you couldn’t keep this little video down. Welcome back Ellie!
9) “Over You”—I kind of stayed away from this one for a while because I knew about the symbolism of the horse and Miranda’s dead brother. But it is a nice artistic video of a good song!
10) “You Gonna Fly”—I think this one is gonna fly next week……………….. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
