Most people don’t think country music and science fiction go together, but this Shania Twain video of I’m Gonna Getcha Good shows us just how well – and sexy – it can be done. Thanks, Shania!
Shania is opening a two-year residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Here’s a photo of her grand arrival today on horseback, courtesy of the AP.
Psy is still riding the wave of his hit song, Sexy Lady, and Halloween was not immune from its charms. Check out this light show, set to music:
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.

Top 10 Videos and Performances for the week of October 28, 2012
1. Lovin’ You Is Fun—Easton Corbin
2. Beer Money—Kip Moore
3. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye—Luke Bryan
4. Cruise—Florida Georgia Line
5. I Like Girls That Drink Beer—Toby Keith
6. You Know the Night—Jackson Browne with Rob Wasserman on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
7. Feel Again—One Republic
8. Your Body—Christina Aguilera
9. Take a Little Ride—Jason Aldean
10. 50 Ways to Say Goodbye—Train
1) “Lovin’ You Is Fun”—Things seem to have stalled for Easton Corbin on this week’s CMT Countdown, but his video is the classiest one of the most recent batch of videos!
2) “Beer Money”—Kip Moore’s second video continues the fun vibe of his first video!
3) “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye”—I haven’t changed my mind on Luke Bryan’s current video because I like it even more!
4) “Cruise”—If you ask me, there aren’t enough videos with strip poker scenes. Thank you Florida Georgia Line for taking care of that shortage!
5) “I Like Girls That Drink Beer”—Hey, Toby! Who doesn’t?!
6) “You Know the Night”—A relaxed performance by Jackson Browne assisted by bassist Rob Wasserman from a Woody Guthrie tribute “Note of Hope.” “Mellow music” just sounds so right when Jackson Browne plays it!
7) “Feel Again”—Well, well. Another surprise for this year. I’ve been holding back on talking about One Republic’s latest video because I wasn’t sure if I really liked it. Well, I do!
8) “Your Body”—Christina Aguilera has put out a new sexy and creepy video. It’s…..interesting………………
9) “Take a Little Ride”—This one could fall into that upside and backwards year category…but not really. I like Jason Aldean. I just don’t always care for all of his singles picks or the way they are portrayed. His first video from his new “Night Train” album captures him the way I perceive him to be!
10) “50 Ways to Say Goodbye”—Train is now officially on life support………………

A “Q” Bomb, like an “H” bomb, will be my term for a music video that I consider to be subpar in music, video, or both. This will be a recurring weekly list that will focus on the worst videos that are currently on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus on solely on current or recent videos.
I hate to be so negative about music, but when an artist takes a “bad” song and then brings more attention to it by creating a “bad” video to support it, it will appear on this list. I honestly hope, and it could happen, that this list will be less than 10 items, but I have serious doubts that that possibility will happen. We are, after all, talking about an industry that uses art for huge profits. The companies can’t help themselves.
However, at this point, I will not do a 10 worst music list. I see absolutely no reason to waste time reemphasizing bad music. Once is enough.

The same guilty culprits stay on the list for another week, but Taylor Swift makes a bold move to the top and she did it all in one take……………..

7. Hall of Fame—The Script and Wil.i.am
8. As Long As You Love Me—Justin Bieber and Big Sean
9. Walk the Sun—Anna Moon
10. Good Time—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
1) “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”—Almost off the countdown on CMT (#19), Taylor Swift hits #1 on VH1. If it had gone away quietly, I would have left the video alone. But no more. ODWITS!
2) “Too Close”—Alex Clare’s video and song are moving way “too close” to the top on VH1 (#4)…………………………..
3) “Come Wake Me Up”—Rascal Flatts has Taylor Swift to thank for kicking them out of the “top of the bottom feeders” slot……………..
4) “Ho Hey”—Another week of moving up on VH1’s Top Ten. The people dancing in the video don’t even really look like they’re having fun…………………
5) “Blown Away”—Carrie Underwood is still runner up on CMT, but other annoying videos push her down on my list………..
6) “Cowboys and Angels”—Dustin Lynch…………………….Yeah. Whatever…………….
7) “Hall of Fame”—The Script are so far removed from a Hall of Fame with this video and song………………
8) “As Long As You Love Me”—Justin Bieber appears to be wearing out his welcome on VH1. Finally……………………
9) “Walk the Sun”—Anna Moon continues to hang around. Maybe they need to literally “walk the sun”……………………….
10) “Good Time”—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen slip a little on VH1. Well, it’s about time……………..

Easton Corbin stays on top for a second week, but there is much volatility on the list this week. The changing of the guard has begun……………………

Top 10 Videos and Performances for the week of October 21, 2012
1. Lovin’ You Is Fun—Easton Corbin
2. Beer Money—Kip Moore
3. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye—Luke Bryan
4. Cruise—Florida Georgia Line
5. I Like Girls That Drink Beer—Toby Keith
6. Stars—Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
7. 50 Ways to Say Goodbye—Train
8. Everybody Talks—Neon Trees
9. She’s So Mean—Matchbox 20
10. Pontoon—Little Big Town
1) “Lovin’ You Is Fun”—Easton Corbin jumps into CMT’s Top Ten—finally! He’s going to be facing some major competition but right now things are looking up for him!
2) “Beer Money”—Hey now! I found a better reason to like this video than Kip Moore: His passenger in the truck changing into her jeans! Now that’s what music videos were made for!
3) “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye”—Luke Bryan finally put together a package that works on all levels and he should get rewarded!
4) “Cruise”—Florida Georgia Line open their video with a beautiful girl in the water and then go cruising with her and her friend. Sometimes less of a plot is better than having one!
5) “I Like Girls That Drink Beer”—I have a feeling that beer is a factor in the videos above Toby Keith. He didn’t quite follow their lead with a good video, but the melody pulls this one through!
6) “Stars”—A killer song and vocal performance from Grace Potter but not much of a video…………..
7) “50 Ways to Say Goodbye”—Once again, I thought Train would be off my list but they continue to hang around. A good video will do that for you!
8) “Everybody Talks”—“Everybody Talks” but they’re not necessarily talking about Neon Trees. This video’s run is over, it’s only a matter of when…………..
9) “She’s So Mean”—A big fall for Matchbox 20. The end is near…………..
10) “Pontoon”—Probably the last week for Little Big Town…………………….

10. Good Time—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
1) “Come Wake Me Up”—Rascal Flatts and another boring video. Why should I have to say more…………………
2) “Blown Away”—Carrie Underwood is knocking on the door to the top spot on CMT. I’m guessing that door will open for her……………..
3) “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”—Taylor Swift took a big fall out of the Top Ten on CMT, but is number three on VH1. Talk about a schizophrenic video and who it was targeted to…………………………
4) “Too Close”—Alex Clare is quietly moving up towards the top on VH1. If he continues to move up there, he’ll continue to rise here………………
5) “Ho Hey”—Last week was a mistake-ay. The Lumineers move back into VH1’s Top Ten again……………………….
6) “Cowboys and Angels”—I’m really getting tired of writing things for Dustin Lynch’s video. Dustin, take a hint from the leaves and fall off the charts…………….
7) “As Long As You Love Me”—Justin Bieber shows some staying power and that means he has staying power here, too…………….
8) “Walk the Sun”—Anna Moon seem like they’re this year’s Foster the People. Ewwwwww…………………………..
9) “Hall of Fame”—Nothing’s changed for me here. I do like the ballerina spitting on the floor to show how tough she is, though……………..
10) “Good Time”—Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen hover near the top on VH1 but this video is not much of a “good time” for me……………….

Top 10 Videos and Performances for the week of October 14, 2012
1. Lovin’ You Is Fun—Easton Corbin
2. Stars—Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
3. She’s So Mean—Matchbox 20
4. Pontoon—Little Big Town
5. I Like Girls That Drink Beer—Toby Keith
6. Cruise—Florida Georgia Line
7. 50 Ways to Say Goodbye—Train
8. Everybody Talks—Neon Trees
9. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye—Luke Bryan
10. Beer Money—Kip Moore
1) “Lovin’ You Is Fun”—Abigail Klein, TV reality star, is the female having fun with Easton Corbin! I thought she looked familiar! Well, I would be honored to have her dance around while I sing a song to her, just like she does with Easton Corbin!
2) “Stars”—Grace Potter & The Nocturnals should not be this high. The video isn’t that good, but the vocal performance is stellar!
3) “She’s So Mean”—I guess it’s not going to be Matchbox 20 knocking out Little Big Town and I think the video has definitely peaked for me……………….
4) “Pontoon”—I think the end is finally near for Little Big Town and their “pontoon,” but they took us for some of the best rides of the summer!
5) “I Like Girls That Drink Beer”—The video is your average Toby Keith concert footage but the song is another winner and pulls it into the faves category!
6) “Cruise”—Florida Georgia Line have put out a hot looking summer video that finally is getting attention in the fall. I will not hold that against them because both the song and the video are worth checking out!
7) “50 Ways to Say Goodbye”—The “train” is finally leaving the station and probably the countdown………..
8) “Everybody Talks”—Now that Neon Trees finally reached the top, they have started to fade quickly. The song still sounds fresh!
9) “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye”—Finally, a Luke Bryan video that I like—and the song is good, too! It’s still overly dramatic, but at least the brunette is beautiful!
10) “Beer Money”—Kip Moore makes a second appearance on my favorite videos list. The video isn’t all that creative, but the song is pretty good!
