Ruxandra Bar – My Heart Is Bleeding

Ruxandra's heart might be bleeding, but my ears are. Yet another "Stereo Love" clone, it's getting kind of boring down there in Romania!

Rihanna – Where Have You Been

Another fantastic Rihanna video.  As the financial crisis lingers, we see a lot of low budget videos. Not miss RiRi's though! This video is impeccably styled and directed to the max. If i didn't love the song before, I'm mad about it now!

Траяна – Частен случай

Leave it bulgaria to cross another line of hoochie: take of your slip and cover up with some sheets. We did see this trick with breasts before, but now we got it with the "shame-zone". In short: a demonstration of Bulgarian class...

Nicki Minage – Starships

Nicki is back with a smashing colourful video and a song that's sure to bang all the clubs for the entire summer. I think the combination of fun image and catchy songs is a good way to go, see where it brought Rihanna!

Катя Баженова – Я модель

The "you dont need plastic surgery nor make-up" story isn't very credible when you're gorgeous like Katya. The weird crotch gymnastic doesn't help either. but the song isn't bad!

Non-Evolution: Дима Билан – Так не бывает

Dima Bilan, known from winning the ESC and getting his bud wooped by grannies in this years pre-selection decided to play safe: "If I put out yet another Ace Of Base sound-a-like it'll be a surefire hit!" It's kinda rergressive to me...

Déjà écouté anyone? Elena Gheorghe – Your Captain Tonight

Oh yeah, I loved that one song she did "Disco Romancing" until she did it for the third time. Elena Gheorghe is our repetitive "Captain Tonight", seems like she will be sailing in circles...

Глюк’oZa – Ко$ка

It's the Ke$ha Ko$ka, or am I the only who sees the similarity? The song is terrible, but the video is worth watching at least once.

Shahzoda – Ishon

Shahzoda seems to be releasing a new song every week. It's not like this raises the quality level, but it's always nice seeing her in a video. I could do without the movie outtakes...

Forget Vintage! It’s INDI

Tired of Vintage? Me neither, but there's a next berst thing: Indi. Their new songs "Небо это я" is very sucessfully executed with a nice video! I like it!

Anu – UB Game

Back in crazy Mongolia Anu makes an expirimental electronic song set in a video game. It's liturally amazing what comes from a country so sparsly populated and so little developed! Thumbs up!

Akcent – I’m Sorry

"Meh" would discribe best this latest effort of Akcent, not good not bad: nothing new. But a top rating since it's the first not x-rated video I see in a long time...

KOTTOVA – В играх ночей

Just when you thought you've seen it all... Tatiana Kotova (it must be fashion for ex-viagra members to lose their first-name) shows us how well she can spread her legs. While both individuals in this video are very hot, I somehow feel like it's a little too much. Maybe it's just the moaning and masturbation at the end of the video, could be...

Dancefloor turned Orgy: Алина Артц – Не убежать

First I though: "Hi, I'm Alina Arts, and I forgot to take off my bed-clothes before going to the club", but then the whole club started to move in the orgy kind of way. After which the event turns into an acrobatics-in-lingerie event. It's must be thursday in Russia...

Justify porn: OKSI – ЛЮБИТЬ ЗА ДВОИХ

I think by now we've seen it all. OKSI is fully nude (with some blurred parts you know where) and "mating". After this a shocking video can only be full on tripple-x rated. Bravo, even my straight male friends felt emberassed! The song clearly sucks, and the video is just not enough to make it work.

Girl’s Day (걸스데이) – Oh! My God

These are some crazy Korean girls, but it's highly infectious! Oh! My God! Maybe they added a littlebit too much kids-cartoons style to the video, but it's nice for a change. Can't help but thinking they took the beat from Britney Spears' "Till The World Ends"

Fallen from grace

Usually I like everything Sophie Ellis Bextor does. She has a sense of fashion and style we don't find in that many other artists. Those days are gone, ending with this utterly tacky, desperate attempt to claim the spotlight by saying fuck many times and showing topless girls in the music video. The song being produced by has-been Bob sinclair couldn't result in anything but failure.

きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ – CANDY CANDY

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is THE sensation in Japan right now! You can't walk down Shibuya or hear and her song "Candy Candy". Personally I found the girls with numbers on their faces slightly scary, but it's all innocent fun right here! Or is it?

Atro-city Ulaanbataar

As much as I'm impressed with the musical level of Mongolia, I do have to say it's quite atrocious as well. Never in a million years did I expect this to come from a country so not famous for their innovative pop music. Both song display a high grade of experimentalism, and not an imitation from Russian, Korean or Turkish pop music. It's certainly not my cup of tea but it's quite interesting. I mean Uka looks anything but Mongolian, does she?

Can we add some Uzbek to that?

Remember i posted that Bulgarian song that was covered in Kazakh? Well add Uzbek to that. Of all 3 versions, this has to be to most successful in my eyes, but then again, I'm not so much into chalka.

DJ Project & Adela Popescu – Bun Ramas

WARNING! Watching this video might cause irreparable damage to the cortex, or just a very bad headache. That being said, it's a rarity hearing a song in actual Romanian these days. A pity it sounds just like all the other songs of DJ Project, 2010's "Regrette" to name one...

LuKone & deMoga Feat Liviu Teodorescu – Electronic Symphony

This song reminds me a lot of a song i blogged before "Don't Le The Music End" by Radio Killer. It's pretty catchy, but for me it misses something. The video is not that bad either.

SISTAR – 씨스타_나혼자 (Alone)

K-Pop fans waited, but now it's there SISTAR's new video for "Alone". Snubbed by many fans as being too sexy, this suggestive video does not show that much skin. It does feature a miraculous multiplication of girls. They just seems to become more and more. Great styling here!
