My Top 5 Fave Music Videos

Music becomes a big part of our lives. We listen to it and read its lyrics, then sing-a-long with the singer/group who sang it. Nowadays, media play a huge role to promote every country's music: FM stations such as Monster Radio RX 93.1, Magic 89.9, and MOR 101.9 that our favorite disc jockey (DJ) plays songs we want to hear on the radio, and YouTube and music channels such as MYX, MTV, and Channel V that shows the creativity of directors in order to promote high quality music videos.

Here are my top 5 favorite music videos:

The Love of Silence

Fahrenheit

[HIM International Music]

I liked this music video because it's very simple. The members, namely Wu Chun, Calvin Chen, Jiro Wang, and Aaron Yan, wore outstanding suits, making them more handsome. It included the clips from the Taiwanese drama ToGetHer starring Jiro Wang, George Hu and Rainie Yang which it became the closing theme song of the said drama.

The Boys

Girls Generation

[SM Town Entertainment]

I liked this music video because of its choreography and its transition from each member's solo to group. The girls, namely Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sunny, YoonA, Sooyoung, and Jessica wore classy and sophisticated outfits, Plus, Taeyeon's hair caught my attention because of her three-toned ombre: black, blonde, and pink, then she became my first bias in the group.

Stay

Carol Banawa

[Star Records]

I liked this music video because it looked classic. The video used sepia and monochrome effects that made it vintage. I also love Carol's voice; she's one of my favorite female singers in the Philippines.

First Love

Utada Hikaru

[Toshiba EMI]

I liked this music video because whenever I hear this song, I'm having a nostalgia and I can't help myself but to sing-a-long, even though it's in Japanese. This was released in 1999, and was used as the theme song for the Japanese drama Majo no Jōken, starring Hideaki Takizawa and Nanako Matsushima. I can't believe that this song is already almost 17 years old!

Heart Attack

Demi Lovato

[Hollywood Records]

I really liked this music video because it's cool. Dipping herself in black ink and having her arms and hands full of black ink are my favorite scenes in the music video. Demi Lovato is one of my favorite international female artists because she's very inspiring and strong.

My MTV Song Bar

It's already the second season of my favorite show called The MTV Show in MTV Asia. With new VJs Hanli and Alan and its new segments like Instagram Dedications and People's Chart, still it gives latest updates on music and movies. I made my all-time favorite 10 songs that's included on my song bar.

Heart Attack

Demi Lovato 

(2013)

It is my LSS (last song syndrome). I hooked up with its lyrics especially on the chorus part. Well Demi is one of my favorite singers-actresses since Disney Channel days, from her debut film 'Camp Rock' until her latest album release 'Demi' this year.

The Boys

Girls' Generation 

(2011)

I was very addicted with this song so much. I memorized the choreography and practiced it for more than a year. It was part of our performance during our Christmas party last year which they thought that I brought the branch at the first place. I was the lucky charm when I danced it 100%.

Don't Cry Out Loud

Rachelle Ann Go

I sang this last 2012 when we had our mini recital as I enrolled to a free workshop.From the movie 'Quest of Camelot', I will never ever forget its lyrics and its melody because my mentor, Mr. Jerome Vinarao recommended this song that fits my voice.

Hopelessly Devoted To You

Olivia Newton-John 

(1978)

Another song that I sang during the entire free workshop, but this time, it was when our grand recital was held at Area 05, Tomas Morato Ave., Quezon City. It was from the musical film 'Grease' starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. I watched the film, observed Olivia's movements when she was singing the song, and performed it on stage.
