Cher Lloyd Debuts Dazzling Hollywood Smile In New 'I Wish' Video

Cher Lloyd's much anticipated video for her debut single 'I Wish' taken from her sophomore album has been released and I've got to admit it - I like it. The video itself is incredibly simple and see's Cher continue to sing about all the things she wishes she was to gain the affection of rapper T.I who guest features on the single, all whilst glammed up girls are mean to Cher who plays the role of hard-done-by-yet-down-to-earth waitress.

Something looks...different?

It's a nice enough video and the typical girl getting the man of her dreams theme is consistent throughout, of course. However the thing I noticed most was indeed Cher's smile! GONE is the gap that gave her a cute and quirky smile and in its place rest a perfect set of pearly whites. It seems Cher's american transformation is officially complete and she is another celebrity who has succumbed to the need of that hollywood smile.

The gap, oh how we'll miss you

I actually think these are a pretty good new set of teeth and they don't look too ridiculous or horse like, but I also couldn't help but catch myself constantly looking out for them either, meaning I had to watch the video about four times to take it all in.

A cheeky side note for you all, in a previous interview with Alan Carr, Cher has seemed very against the idea of veneers, even poking fun at TOWIE's Chloe, but seems to have changed her mind!

The song is available to buy on iTunes now and as of yet there is no official release date for Cher's second album. You can watch the video below:

Zedd And Hayley Williams Reveal 'Stay The Night' Video

Ever since Hayley Williams released 'Airplanes' with B.O.B back in 2010 we've all been waiting patiently to see if she'd ever step aside from her band Paramore again, just once, to come up with another magical creation.

It seems we've had to wait a good three years, but that wait was indeed worth it as this time the orange haired beauty has teamed up with Zedd to bring us "Stay The Night." The song is pretty much exactly what you'd expect to hear in any club at the moment, however, the nice difference here is that Hayley Williams can actually sing. Always a bonus eh?



The video see's Hayley repeatedly belt out the question "Are you gonna stay the night?" whilst reassuring the recipient of the vocals that it "doesn't mean we're bound for life" which actually is pretty clever when you look a bit deeper into the track. I mean yes, it is something you're going to sing along to in a club, but it is quite cute that the song plays on the idea that we're all overthinking every action we make with our significant other. LOVELY.

There is something about the video that reminds me of Paramore's 'Ignorance' video and it probably is the blindingly obvious lightbulb part, but this video really is very well shot and edited. I enjoy the chasing around parts and the lighting really is something!

The dancers they chose for the video are also pretty damn fun to watch as they spin and turn and twirl over sofa's and beds, making me slightly jealous that I can't move like that, but that's not important and Hayley of course looks gorgeous as always, which is nice.

Miley Cyrus Shows Off Vulnerable Side In Wrecking Ball Music Video

Miley Cyrus has released the video to accompany her second single from her new album "BANGERZ" and whilst there are certain aspects of the video that make absolutely no sense, there is something very beautiful about the whole thing, isn't that sweet?

It seems whilst Miley isn't practising her new found love for twerking, the singer is able to show off a more vulnerable side and let everyone in on what really goes on up in that head of hers. The video itself is directed by the controversial fashion photographer Terry Richardson, so of course when viewing you should expect the unexpected.

What I really enjoyed about this video was actually how beautiful it is. At first glance, after that raunchy VMA performance, and the controversial reference to "Molly" in "We Can't Stop" it would be pretty damn easy to think Miley was just being raunchy and racey in the new video, but instead of you listen to the lyrics in the single and take into account what it really is about, you're able to appreciate just how vulnerable and beautiful this video is. Sure, she's riding around naked on a wrecking ball, but isn't that the point? Miley's opening up about feeling naked, vulnerable and exposed, and I believe the reference to exposure to be genius.

My only qualm with this very good video is Miley licking the sledge hammer that she uses to break down the walls, it does add some level of sex to what should be something artistic, although, as pointed out to me, this could well be a reference to the singer licking up whats happened, accepting it and taking empowerment from it.


Enough of what I think though, watch the artistic video below and make your own judgements:
