Music Video of the Day: I Turn To You by Melanie C (2000, Dir. by Cameron Casey)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Let’s hang out with Mel C in Ibiza!

This song is used in Bend It Like Beckham, which is one of my favorite movies.  According to Wikipedia, this song is also featured in Viva Forever!, a musical based on the songs of the Spice Girls.  There’s a Spice Girls stage musical?  Why didn’t I know this?

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Bag It Up by Geri Halliwell (2000, Dir. by Dawn Shadforth)

Today’s music video of the day is heaven in a box!

Geri Halliwell’s boyfriend doesn’t appreciate her so she drugs him and then brainwashes him.  Whatever works!  Her boyfriend is played by Aiden Turner, who also played Aiden Devane on All My Children.  Aiden left the show in 2009 and it was canceled two years later.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Back in the day, Lisa and I would annoy the rest of our family by singing this song at the top of our lungs.  The only part that we really knew was the part about bagging it up.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: I Will Remember You by Sarah MacLachlan (1999, dir. by Sophie Muller)

For today’s music video of the day, I present to you one of the most depressing songs ever written!

This is a song that I will always associate with funerals and charity commercials.  I feel either sad or guilty every time that I hear it.

Music Video of the Day: We’ve Got It Goin’ On by Backstreet Boys (1995, dir. by Lionel C. Martin)

Today’s music video day is not just a Backstreet Boys video.  It’s also the very first video that the Backstreet Boys ever made and it’s for their very first single!  Just look at how young everyone used to be.

The main theme of this video seems to be that the Backstreet Boys are terrible boyfriends but it doesn’t matter because they have got it going on!  Their real girlfriends play their video girlfriends in this video and Lou Pearlman, the shady puppet master who never understood that just because we liked his band didn’t mean that we wanted to know about him, is in the video too.  My favorite Backstreet Boy was Brian.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: Whenever, Wherever by Shakira (2001, dir. by Francis Lawrence)

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Hey, everyone!  Erin Nicole, here, filling in for Lisa while she celebrates her birthday!

Today’s music video of the day could be called Shakira Can Do Everything!  She can swim with the fishes!  She can leap on the rocks!  She can outrun the horses!  Most of this video was shot against a green screen but, in the underwater scenes, Shakira actually is swimming.  Francis Lawrence went on to direct the majority of the Hunger Games films.

There’s nothing Shakira can’t do!
