The Candyman Can!

The latest videos from Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, and Shakira

Christina Aguilera – Candyman

Ms Christina turns it out once again in this colourful retro-inspired pop video. Paying homage to the USO girls of the 1940s – known for entertaining WWII troops- a trio of stunning Christinas also emulates the feminist iconography of Rosie the Riveter. With a modern tune reminiscent of those of the Andrew Sisters (Boogie Woogie Bugal Boy Mr Sandman), who were popular USO girls themselves, Christina still pulls it off flawlessly. Easily the best pop video I’ve seen in a long while. Don’t show this one to Britney – it just may push her off the edge.

This video makes me feel like: What else? Eat lollipops, dress in drag, and swing dance

Beyonce + Shakira – Beautiful Liar

Strut! Roll! Bounce! Beyonce and Shakira buddy up and morph into one! This one is sure to be an instant hit at the gay discos – and simultaneously provides ample masturbation material for straight boys. Beyonce explains, “"It basically talks about two women; the same guy is trying to get at both of them but instead of them fighting, they’re saying, ‘He’s a beautiful liar, let’s not fight, let’s stick together – forget him!’

So deep! You wouldn’t predict a duet between the two would work, but their voices compliment each other surprisingly well. But that said, this collaboration is about T&A and since both somewhat lack in the chest department – it’s instead about H&A (Hips and Arse) which they work damn hard. Mmmhmm. It reminds me a bit of Flashdance.



This video makes me feel like: Stripping to a thong, jumping in a puddle of mud, and interpretive dancing. And… doing 700 crunches.

The Rubettes – Sugar Baby Love

No, this isn’t a music video – but this French gay safe-sex cartoon, using the 1974 UK number one as a soundtrack, may as well be - as it has given the song a lovely new dimension. Following the quest of a gay boy in his search for love – this condom advocating animation is by far the most creative and effective sex-safe campaign I’ve ever come across. Directed by Wilfred Brimo and released by the NGO AIDES, condoms never looked so good.
