This group of young Canadian artists came together to inspire contributions towards helping the people of Haiti after the devastating earthquake. Recorded in Vancouver, artists like Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, and Drake gathered to create their own rendition of the song “Wavin’ Flag” by hip-hop artist K’Naan. “Wavin’ Flag” was specifically reworked for this occasion to include lyrics reflecting the disaster, while still keeping the song’s message of hope. Check the video out and remember to keep the people of Haiti in your thoughts.

This Thursday night at 9 PM Pacific/Midnight Eastern, Lady Gaga’s epic new video for “Telephone” with Beyoncé will premiere right here on VEVO. Given what we’ve seen so far (earlier Gaga tweeted this pic), this is shaping up to be the most amazing music video since, well, Bad Romance.
Check out this exclusive shot from the video. Gotta say… she looks hot!

Ever wonder what it’s like to live a day in the life of electro-hop funny guys LMFAO? The “Party Rock”-ers take us along for lunch at Union Square, a tour of the Party Rock Tour Bus and give us a backstage pass for their sold out concert that night. It’s all fun and games until a water pipe breaks above the soundboard and ends the concert ten minutes after it starts. Check it out below…
Spike Jonze has always been known for creative genius when it comes to direction. His list of feature films includes Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are. When it comes to music videos, his most famous music video is probably “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys or maybe “Weapon of Choice” by Fatboy Slim. However, we’d like to highlight 5 other, less famous, but equally creative music videos done by Jonze.
1. Y Control – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
True to Jonze style, he shoots this video with a rustic look and feel. Of course, there is plenty of destruction in this creepy video with kids cutting each other and breaking things. It makes for an instant classic.
