This week’s Music Video Lounge is not covering Cheryl Cole’s new video as we already did it here. So long as we’re clear. What we are featuring though is the likes of Alphabeat, Addictive, Imogen Heap, Foo Fighters, Miike Snow and Los Campesinos! who are all aces…
This week’s Music Video Lounge is not reviewing Robbie’s new single as we already covered it here, OK? Good. But we are reviewing the likes of Sean Paul, Kings Of Convenience, MPHO, Phantom Limb, Mr Hudson and Alexandra Burke. In other words, loads…
This week’s Music Video Lounge comes to you on the back of a week of musical tragedy with the demise of the real Sugababes and the sad news that Dave is leaving Chas. Sad times, but comfort yourself with the fact that we’ll always have Snooker Loopy.

The first video from why-aye Cheryl sees her mixing up her styles, rocking the white vest & pyjamas look, a dash of leather and military garb. She frowns, she scowls, she concentrates on getting the dance moves right and in the end she smiles as she realises it’s going to be over soon. The video is directed by Ray Kay who, as well as having a clever rhyming name, has also directed Lady GaGa’s PokerFace and Mini Viva’s Left My Heart In Tokyo. You can tell he’s not a beginner because it involves moving walls, dodgy dance troupes and Cheryl ill-advisedly re-enacting her former career as a sometime boxer. Will it be enough to make Louis’ predictions of Cheryl being “the next Kylie” come true? You decide.
Cheryl Cole’s Fight For This Love is out on October 19th; album Three Words is out on October 26th. For more: www.cherylcoleofficial.com
