Top Five Videos - Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison, better known by her stage name Charli XCX, is a British singer, songwriter and actress. She is about to release a new single called After the Afterparty, featuring Lil Yachty (it will be available on October 28th, 2016). Thus, I wanted to make a list of her best five music videos, before she release a new one.

Personally, I really like Charli's music style and I think she is very talented and original. On the other hand, her music videos are very entertaining and creative, so these five videos, according to me, are her best five.

5. Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom

 Charli said the following about their collaboration: "Sometimes we get aggressive, sometimes we get beautiful—he pushes me and I push him. I’m making beautiful party songs right now and this is just the start."

4. Charli XCX - You (Ha Ha Ha)

The controversial video finds Charli loading gun shells in a firearms factory and trading the lead tips for lipstick. Its release couldn't have been timed any worse coming just weeks after the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting. The singer issued a response saying in part, "The idea is to make lipstick, not war, but I'd like to say sorry if anyone has mistaken this video for advocating violence."

3. Charli XCX - Breaking Up 

This slice of brat-pop finds Charli bashing her former lover. "That song is really brutal - every time I sing it I feel bad for everyone of my ex-boyfriends," she told NME: "I feel like I'm making all the guys I ever dated cry," Charli added. "Which I kind of like."

2. Charli XCX - Doing It (ft.Rita Ora)

The clip features XCX and Ora as a pair of bandits who are chased into the desert by police in their pink truck. The police eventually catch up with them, but instead of busting the duo, they join in on the party. "I wanted it to be like this badass Barbie Thelma and Louise-esque video," Charli told Buzzfeed. "So we robbed a store with toy guns, rode a bucking bronco and nearly crashed a pink pick-up truck through the desert." 

1. Charli XCX - Famous 

On March 23rd, 2015, Charli released the music video as apart of the YouTube Video Awards. It satirizes modern technology and people’s obsession with it. Watch it by pressing play above!

Top Five Videos - Lady Gaga

Today is Tuesday of Top Five Videos and I decided to choose the best five music videos by Lady Gaga, according to me. As all we know, she is about to release her upcoming fifth studio album Joanne, which is going to be available world wide on October 21st, 2016. Thus, I wanted to make a countdown, before she starts her new era.

Something that we have to admit is that, Lady Gaga always make great videos, where she shows us her creativity and her interest into create a well made video. I will write song facts about the videos, so you will know more about it.

5. Lady Gaga - G.U.Y.

The song's music video was filmed at Hearst Castle, the former home of William Randolph Hearst located near San Simeon, California. 

4. Lady Gaga - Telephone (ft. Beyoncé)

The infamous Pussy Wagon from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 reappears as Gaga and Beyoncé's getaway mobile in the video. Gaga explained to E! News: "We were having lunch one day in Los Angeles and I was telling him about my concept for the video and he said, 'You gotta use the Pussy Wagon!.'"

3. Lady Gaga - Paparazzi

Lady Gaga explained to The Canadian Press: "It has a real, genuine, powerful message about fame-whoring and death and the demise of the celebrity, and what that does to young people. The video explores ideas about sort of hyperbolic situations that people will go to in order to be famous. Most specifically, pornography and murder. These are some of the major themes in the video."

2. Lady Gaga - Judas

Gaga plays Mary Magdalene in the song's music video, whilst model-turned-actor Norman Reedus is Judas Iscariot. Gaga and her creative director Laurieann Gibson co-directed the clip after the initial collaborator had to drop out. She told MTV News: "When we got to 'Judas,' it was very clear to me and the inspiration was very clear to her. We approached a director, but then the dates actually got messed up and it was conflicted and her manager and her looked at me [and asked me to direct it with her]."

1. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

The clip features Gaga with some razor-blade sunglasses. She explained to MTV News: "I wanted to design a pair for some of the toughest chicks and some of my girlfriends - don't do this at home! - they used to keep razor blades in the side of their mouths. That tough female sprit is something that I want to project. It's meant to be, 'This is my shield, this is my weapon, this is my inner sense of fame, this is my monster.'"

Top five videos by Sia

I decided to choose the top five videos by Sia today, because she has already released her newest music video for the song "The Greatest".

Her career started as a jazz singer in the 90s, but was until 1997 when she released her debut album called "OnlySee", which is a trip hop album. However, the first song that I heard was "Clap Your Hands", taken from "We Are Born" her fifth studio album released in 2010. So, the next list will have her five best music videos, according to me:

5. Sia - Clap Your Hands

Sia joked to Spin Magazine that this is obviously "a really deep song, as I'm sure the title infers." She added: "It's a song I'd write for a movie like Sex And The City. Seriously, I was trying to write a song that might get pitched for a girly movie. It's fun to dance to."

4. Sia - Elastic Heart 

The song's music video reunites "Chandelier" director Daniel Askill, choreographer Ryan Heffington and Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler. The clip features a dance battle between a shirtless Shia LaBeouf (Transformers, Fury) and a blonde-bobbed Maddie Ziegler in a giant bird cage.

3. Sia - Chandelier 

Billboard magazine chose this as their Best Song of 2014. They said: "The towering YOLO anthem 'Chandelier' took months to reach the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart, but pop purveyors embraced its sentiment and Sia's performance almost immediately, turning the camera-shy Australian into an American star."

2. Sia - Cheap Thrills

The song was Sia's first Hot 100 chart-topper as an artist. She'd previously reached #1 as the writer of Rihanna's "Diamonds."

1. Sia - Fire Meet Gasoline

 It stars model Heidi Klum and actor Pedro Pascal (he played Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones) as a couple caught up in a steamy love affair. Klum told MTV News that she wasn't initially at ease with the love scenes. "I guess it is always strange when you meet someone for the first time and within 5 minutes, you are tongue-kissing that person. Very odd,"

Top Five Videos: Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer and songwriter that has published two of the most viewed music videos of the story, I'm talking about "Roar" and "Dark Horse". However, it wasn't the reason that made me choose her today. I decided to present you her top five videos, because she's about to release the music video for her latest single "Rise", taken from her upcoming fifth studio album.

I will chose just five videos, that personally are her best music videos. Furthermore, I will give you some interesting facts about them.

5. Katy Perry - Hot N Cold

This ascended to the top 10 of the Adult Contemporary chart in its 34th week, marking the longest climb to the top 10 by a female artist. 

"You change your mind like a girl changes clothes

Yeah, you PMS like a bitch

I would know

And you overthink, always speak cryptically"

4. Katy Perry - California Gurls (ft. Snoop Dogg)

The song's music video was directed by Mathew Cullen, the founder of Los Angeles-based production company Motion Theory. It is a candy-coated sweet affair featuring a whole lot of confectioneries but not so much of California.

"You could travel the world

But nothing comes close to the golden coast

Once you party with us

You'll be falling in love, oh oh"

3. Katy Perry - Wide Awake

Perry penned the song specifically for her Katy Perry: Part of Me movie. "I was doing this movie and they asked me if I wanted to write an end-title song for the movie," she told MTV News, "and I was like, 'I know exactly what I want to say.'

"Yeah, I was in the dark

I was falling hard

With an open heart

I'm wide awake"

2. Katy Perry - Unconditionally 

"I love this song because not only can it be a romantic, intimate song, but it can be about the type of love that a mother has when she sees her first child, or best friends or partners," Perry added. "It's a transcendent love, it's not just relationship status."

"Come just as you are to me

Don't need apologies

Know that you are worthy

I'll take your bad days with your good"

1. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)

The song's music video was filmed in May 2011. Perry created for the clip a nerdy 13-year-old alter-ego named Kathy Beth Terry, who is fond of astronomy and '90s teenage heartthrobs. 

Personally, this is my favorite music video by Katy Perry and the song is also one of my favorite ones. 

"Pictures of last night ended up online

I'm screwed, oh well

It's a blacked out blur, but I'm pretty sure it ruled

Damn"
