The 5 Best Rihanna´s Music Videos

Hi!
Today Rihanna has her 28th birthday! So I want you to show the five of her best music videos. Her world tour starts in the begging of March and certainly these songs will be included on the setlist! Mostly, I hope for "Russian Roulette". She sang it 5 years ago last time. 

"We Found Love"

One of the most popular song of Rihanna produced by DJ Calvin Harris. The music video was released on October 19, 2011. The music video is one of the best of Rihanna´s music videos. It has got also some controversies. Anyway, many liked this music video.

"Only Girl (In The World)"

"Only Girl" is one of the most known Rihanna´s song. A lot of people liked this song when it has its premiere. The music video with beautiful Rihanna with red hair is fantastic and colorful. The video was praised by critics for its simplicity and colorful, pleasant imagery.
"Cheers (Drink To That)"

The music video has been filmed in the way that I really like! It was recorded during the shows at her tour. Also, it shows many private moments of her life. The premiere of the clip was on August 24, 2011. The music videos with fans, showing the concerts, backstage and stuff like that are really cool and make deeper bond with fans.

"California King Bed"

The ballade was the sixth single from her album "Loud". The song is very calm and beautiful. The music video was recorded in 2011 with tropical and romantic setting. The video get many positive opinions. 

"Russian Roulette"

After the all colorful music videos of Rihanna I also made place for one with dark theme. "Russian Roulette" was the first promotional single from "Rated R". The music video has premiered on Nov 13, 2009. It get mostly positive reviews from critics. The performances of the songs are the most powerful of Rihanna´s. 

What´s your favorite Rihanna´s music video?

5 Best Music Videos of Shakira

Hi!
A long time ago I decided to write posts at singer´s birthdays and today Shakira turns 39! She was born Colombia in 1977.  Through her career she made a lot of hits so I want to show you the five best music videos of her.

"Whenever, Whenever"

Everyone knows and like Shakira´s song “Whenever Whenever” from 2001. It was absolutely a huge hit and all danced to this! The music video was recorded in front of green screen, Shakira is surrounded by the earth´s natural wonders.

"Hips Don´t Lie"

This song is one of the biggest Shakira´s hit. She recorded it with Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean and the music video was filmed in Los Angeles. The music video has an amazing! Moreover, this song was most-played pop song in a single week the American radio.

"She Wolf"

“She Wolf” is one of my favourite song of Shakira and I really like the music video too. Shakira has an amazing choreography and sexy moves. Shakira in the music video is dancing both in the gold cage, red glittered cave and rooftop.

"Las de la Intuicion"


I cannot believe this music video has almost 10 years! Shakira realised it 2007 and it was my favourite music video at that time. I literally thought that she dyed her hair to purple. The music video is really funny and creative!

"Can´t Remember to Forget You"

Many of you may know this amazing collaboration with Rihanna. The song is from her last album "Shakira" and the music video was released on January 24, 2014. The music video is mystery and sexy! Both singers look amazing on it.

I am not a really big Shakira´s fan but I like her music a lot. These were my favorite music video of her. What´s yours?
Shakira have not been on tour a long time and I would like to see her live! Hope she will release some music soon! :D
