The Viewfinder: Pink’s “Raise Your Glass”

Sometimes, after seeing a video, you like a song a million times more. This is one of those instances. I love Pink because not only can she sing her ass off, but she doesn’t take herself very seriously, either. “Raise Your Glass”, the first single from her upcoming Greatest Hits album, has a clip that follows in the tradition of videos like “Stupid Girls” and “So What”.

Am I The Only Guy Who Doesn’t Like Rihanna’s New Video?

I had to watch Rihanna’s new “Only Girl (in the World)” video before I finally got it. She’s supposed to be the only girl in the world! It all makes sense now!! I’m dumb sometimes.

I was more than a little disappointed that someone who had such a strong stance about artistic integrity would pull a sellout move and align herself with the hot rapper of the moment, ostensibly just to have a hit single. Having heard “Jump in […]
