What is up, people?! I am back after a long ass day and all I can say is here we go again. Driving to Denver is going to be a bitch and a half for the next few days. But times are tough and work is work. Gotta do what cha gotta do and all. So, how’s by you? You doing good? That’s nice to hear!
So last week I ranted about the passing of Proposition 8 in California. Now I am hella pissed at gays right now for blaming Blacks and Latinos (And to a lesser extent the five Asians that vote) for its passing. First off, Black people are dumb. Seriously, have you SEEN “Chance Of Love?” THEM NIGGAS VOTED! Did you expect them niggas to vote FOR GAY MARRIAGE?! As for Latinos…yeah. Aside from Rebelde and Zorro I am indifferent. Yet most Latinos are Catholic which means it is okay to fuck a boy in the ass, you just can’t marry him when he is legal. Oh, I SO FUCKING WENT THERE! COME GET SOME!
Anyway, I missed Countdown with Keith Olbermann last week because…well, he is a pundit and unless you are Rachel Maddow or Mudkip (MUDKIP LIEKS YOU!) I really don’t like you. However, he kind of summed up what I said last week without the threats to the Mormon Church (of Fuckwitery) or constant f-bombs. FART YOU, FARTER! Anyway:
You know, I am not all anger and puppy punting. I mean, I am A LOT of anger and puppy punting but that isn’t all I’m about. In the end, I am all for people being happy. Especially if it means 1) more chances to sing “It’s Raining Men” at karaoke and 2) pissing off the Christians. This does both because if there is one song that will be sung at a wedding of two men, it is The Weather Girls:
Lesbians will have kick ass weddings as long as there is no Ani DiFranco. “31 Flavors was like 10 years ago, if not more. Everything else has sucked and you know it. In the end, gays can love and should be allowed to be married just like two straight people that hate each other can be. That is all about that for the time being. I am going to post a repeat either tonight or tomorrow because my earlier work is a lot funnier when I read it for a second time. It’s odd, I rarely read over my blogs for humor or content. I just look for spelling errors so I have to read them a second time to read what I actually wrote. Usually, I am offended. Well, it will be up in a bit. Until then, peace out.

Being Average Ain't So Bad. Worked For 98 Degrees...
What is up peeps?! It is late, I have some sake & Sapporo in me and I have a huge question and/or favor to ask of you. So as some of you know (And the rest of you don’t) I have decided that the best way to tag mediocrity is to embody them with the band of their generation that matches their time. So mediocre things in the 80’s are Kajagoogoo:
As you can see, nothing really infuriating about that song but at the same time there is no way in fucking hell you would go out of the way to listen to it. Unless you liked being average in which I hope you love your Shasta and Arby’s. While in the 90’s they are referred to as Savage Garden:
As you can see, not really offensive to the point of making you shake a puupy. Yet, there is no what in hell you would want to listen to this if you had your choice in songs. It’s just…tolerable. However, I am having problems figuring out what to refer to the modern mediocre aspects of life are. Kelly Clarkson was a good idea (Thank you, Kase!) while YC brought in 3 Doors Down. I personally think that The Fray is the model of mediocrity:
They don’t excel in anything but at the same time; they really aren’t going to make you say that they are any better than let’s say a kick in the balls. Although if I have to hear “How To Save A Life” not on Scrubs one more time I will find your cat and rape you with it. I am not fucking joking; I am sick of that song out of context and it doesn’t make me sad so give the fuck up. He isn’t singing to you so shut the fuck up. It isn’t Evanescence’s “October” and it isn’t that much of a tearjerker so grow a spine and realize that your problems aren’t bigger than anyone else’s and if a song “totally captures your pain” then you are a fuckwit and you suck it dry. Yeah, I fucking went there and you SO KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE, BITCH. Or not, I am just ranting.
Back to the point. Peeps, I need your help in figuring out what to call the mediocre in the 2000’s in terms of a band. I am considering All-American Reject but aside from that I am not sure. I ask of your input if you like. If not, eat a dick. Sorry, it’s late and I haven’t had my eggnog and rum. Heavy on the rum and double the nog. The only way to have it, bitches. I’m going to bed. Peace out, peeps.

Rainism: Stop The Hatred Against The Rain!
Well, it is the last day of goofing off in the middle of the day so I bring you a extra bittersweet edition of….
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
First off, let’s look at the videos we are saying goodbye to this week with “Falling Out”:
NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Peaked at #2)
Rain (Bi) – Love Story (Peaked at #16)
Sad to see you guys go, but that NERD video has been on here for like five months. DAMN! Well, let’s get started with a video on its way off the Countdown!
20. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #17)
FLOW looks to be on its way off the Countdown after a grand return this summer. Too bad I don’t get “Code Geass” because it looks like it could be good if it made sense. I will also say this is their best video since “Re:Member” without a doubt.
19. Halcali – LONG KISS GOODBYE (New Entry)
YES! After a LONG ASS WAIT (Over a year and a half!) Halcali is back! I used to be a closet Halcali fan after the GiriGiri Surf Rider dance and now I am a full-fledged stan. This song got me caring about Naruto again and fits the current arc very well. That and YES I have a thing for them. Leave me alone.
18. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #15, Two Weeks at #1)
Fonz looks like his run is over as well. It was a great year for all three men in this video as all three won Chachi Video Awards last Sunday. Now I just wait for a follow up, which may not come because no one even knows about this damn song.
17. UVERworld – Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi (New Entry)
Okay, this is the UVERworld that we need! It is about time they kicked it all “D-Technolife” on our bitch asses! Or at least “Colors of the Heart” on us. This video is rather simple but the they usually are and the song is where it is at! About damned time!
16. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #12, One Week at #1)
So I haven’t heard anything new from Outkast since…ever. I mean Big Boi is supposed to have a new album out but I have heard nothing from him since that song with MJB. Andre 3000 needs another album right the hell now!
15. Big Bang – Number 1 (Last Week #14)
Well, Big Bang is officially the hardest working band out there right now as they ALREADY have a new album out for their peeps. And it is back in Korean meaning that I don’t understand any of it. Just the way I likes it.
14. YUI – I’ll Be (Last Week #20)
YUI moves up six big spots this week as she not only returns with a new video but a new concept album! It sounds awesome so far, but once again nothing as bad ass as “Rolling Star” but maybe I am being unreasonable?
13. Yuna Ito – Miss You (Last Week #11)
Miss Ito falls two spots this week as I wonder exactly how long it will be until I play “All I Want For Christmas” to the point of getting stabbed? Yes, I like her version just as much as pre-batshit crazy Mariah Carey.
12. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #10)
UVERworld falls two spots this week from the Top 10 as once again, they came close to knocking off the champ but continued the streak of being held back. Good news is that by most stretches of the imagination their new album should be released next month. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
11. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #13)
Okay, I am really beginning to like this video. The song I like but…she really better work on the rest of her English. I mean she didn’t sound too bad in interviews but this song is just broken like my heart after I found out she is going all Britney Spears on me to sell records. NO, BABY, NO!
10. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Last Week #6)
Miss Hyori falls four big spots this week as our Comeback of the Year winner begins the Top 10. It has been a big year for Miss Lee, and you are rest assured she will be nominated for the Chachi Music Awards later on this month. Too bad she is slowing down on me.
9. Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Last Week #7)
Miss Alicia Keys falls two spots this week with her latest. It looks like she had a pretty big year but seems to be slowing down. Oh, can I also say she is damn fine?
8. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
RAIN IS COMING AND IT DON’T STOP! Rain moves up eight spots this week into the Top 10 for the fourth time! However, can he get his first number one video since “Freeway” in 2006? If any video can do is, its Rainism. It’s like a Michael Jackson video!
7. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #10)
HAMC moves up three spots this week with their swan song. Here is hoping to at least a final album of half-greatest hits and half B-sides as a going away gift. I’m going to miss you!
6. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #4)
The King of the South falls two spots this week as we move on. It looks that once again, TI has two videos in the Top 10. You know, he may be behind only Kanye West for the best artist of the year all around. And T.I. isn’t a douche, just a dumbass.
5. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #3, Three Weeks at #1)
Hearts Grow’s rebound was short lived as they fall two spots back down to number five. They have been hanging around the Top 5 for a few months now which isn’t a shock but has maybe put them up there with the heavyweights of the Countdown. They belong now!
4. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (Last Week #8)
TI and Rihanna are living their life into the Top 5 after only three weeks! I initially hated this song but it has grown on me and the video is different but not “different” which means it is better than about 75% of hip hop videos. I am looking at 50 Cent’s new on as an example. I so hate him. We are down to three!
3. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #5)
Kumi Koda is back in the Top Three! My original baby boo is taking back what is hers! Even better is the fact she has a new video and it is a BALLAD! You know how I feel about Kumi Koda when she sings a ballad. Makes me want to snoogle a kitten. Yes, I said snoogle.
2. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #2, One Week at #1)
The Wonder Girls are STILL hanging on! After relinquishing the top spot last week, they hold on to the runner-up spot once again! Can they knuckle up and make another run at the top spot? We will have to see because this week the champ stays the same!
1. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #1, Two Weeks at #1)
For the second straight week, Kanye West tops the Countdown! After tagging along to win FIVE CMVA’s last Sunday I would have to say he is the biggest artist of 2008 not named Lil Wayne. I am still liking this video and I am interested to hear “808’s & Heartbreak” if not for the trainwreck then for the songs I like. Either way, he is on the top of the mountain once again.
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday (Or late Thursday night, depends when I see myself getting home from work on Friday) to see if Kanye can make it three weeks in a row on top! Or will The Wonder Girls return to the top spot for a second week after a short hiatus? Or will Kumi Koda get her first number one video in almost THREE YEARS? Look out for T.I. & Rihanna, Rain and HIGH AND MIGHT COLOR, too! See you fools in seven!
Well, I am off to turn my Zune back in for warranty work (Trust me, a rant is coming about that shit) and head to the theater for the James Bond movie. Until next time peeps, stay up.

George Michael: Seriously, Who DIDN'T Know He Was Gay In The 80's?
Okay, I have a question: HOW MANY VERSIONS OF “LAST CHRISTMAS” ARE TRULY NEEDED?! I mean I wanted to download the Cascada version (I lost it when I switched hard drives a few months back, I guess) and I saw these different remakes:
• Ashley Tisdale: Okay, you all know I have a soft spot in my heart (And a hard spot in my pants. WHOA, CAN I GET SOME?!) for the High School Musical cast because I love musicals but there are some people that should NOT touch this song. I’m sorry, baby. I love you but you are no George Michael. This version of the song…sounds like it should be in “High School Musical 4: Wildcats Christmas Vacation. Her voice isn’t good and it doesn’t do the song justice. However, it isn’t HORRIBLE, just not as awesome as the original.
• Carrie Underwood: NO. I don’t care if you liked that “When He Cheats” song or whatever the fuck it is called. I hate this bitch and I hate anything that comes out of her mouth. She is the female version of Jared Leto (Famous for no real reason, and should be attacked by rabid guinea pigs) and that mother fucker better NEVER cover last Christmas or I will skullfuck his cat. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, FUCKER. Do “The Kill” and nothing else…jackass. Anyway, as you can tell she sucks, country really sucks and combine the two with my favorite Christmas song and you have a recipe for auditory rape.
• Savage Garden: Okay, little known fact about me. Prepare yourself because this is a fucking doozy….I don’t hate Savage Garden. Now I don’t LIKE Savage Garden but I nothing they have done has ever pissed me off to no end, unlike Semisonic. I HATE “CLOSING TIME” SO STOP PLAYING IT BECAUSE YOUR SHITTY ASS BAR IS CLOSING FOR THE NIGHT! Although, if I am at a bar late enough to HEAR “Closing Time” then I guess I am the one with the problem. Either way, I downloaded this version and you know what? I don’t hate it. I just don’t like it. Copper, we are officially replacing Kajagoogoo with Savage Garden for the pinnacle of mediocrity. That’s what this song is: holiday season average greetings.
• Hillary Duff: You know what? I really thought I downloaded the Ashley Tisdale version twice. Seriously, their voices are that indistinguishable. What is even sadder is that neither one of them can sing. You know, none of these teen queens have a voice that is any different from the other. Vanessa Hudgens, Hillary, Ashly, Miley Cyrus, the chick from “Camp Rock” (Which I refuse to watch, I don’t care how gay I seem to be) and the chick that is banging the other Jonas Brother (Are they the new fucking Wayans? I mean seriously!) all sound the fucking same and I have to say it doesn’t bode well for the musical future. I mean, remember Debbie Gibson?:
She wrote AND sang her own songs…and stole my heart. WITH HER MUSIC! Either way, this version was really “meh” and I am pissed I wasted bandwidth that could have been more effectively used for porn. Lots of porn.
• Jimmy Eat World: Okay, I like Jimmy Eat World. Always have and oddly enough I really like this version of the song. There was a time I stopped listening to them (And is SO wasn’t because of a woman when I was in college…totally wasn’t) but I didn’t even know they made a version. I guess everyone has it is just about finding it but this is one of my favorites not done by Wham themselves.
• Taylor Swift: I so stand corrected. Taylor Swift is the new word for the mastery of mediocrity. I mean it is better than Carrie Underwood’s version but it’s just so…BLAH. I mean geez, say what you will about hip hop but at least they have interesting (Albeit dumb as shit) characters. I mean, you have a former drug dealer and...a former drug dealer. Wait…
• Crazy Frog: You know what? Fuck that little fucker. He ruined what sounded like it was going to be a pretty kick ass tune. Yes, the first 35 seconds or so of this song are great until the actual fucking frog shows up. Who in the hell thought that was a good idea, anyway?! How drunk must you be to think a talking frog is a good idea?! The only good talking frog is Dig’Em and that is only because he be diggin’ them Smacks!
• Rap Remix (WHO MADE THIS SHIT?!): HOOBA JOOBA WHA?! I don’t know who was on this monstrosity, but you need to be arrested for fucking up a classic! WHAT IN THE HELL?! My god, I may have to kill someone and drink their blood for sustenance to get past this piece of shit.
• Whigfield (Techno Remix): Hmm. You know, this version wasn’t BAD. I could totally see this playing right now in The Balcony in Boise (It was faboo, wasn’t it Copper? Ah, the lulz) but it is just a little too…techno. Not a lot but for a Christmas song it is a tad bit of overkill.
• Cascada: My favorite cover not called “This Woman’s Work” by Maxwell. Seriously, this is a version that you have to listen to with the windows up but it is SO WORTH IT! Such a guilty pleasure of mine:
I also have to say that I would like to make slow, sweet love to that by the yulelog. Yeah, baby.
Okay, I am out for now. I will be back up tomorrow with the Countdown and hopefully this weekend with an update. I start the commute on Monday so updates may not be as frequent as usual but I will try my best to give the peeps what they want. Stay up until then, peeps.

How drunk must you be to think a talking frog is a good idea?! The only good talking frog is Dig’Em and that is only because he be diggin’ them Smacks!
• Rap Remix (WHO MADE THIS SHIT?!): HOOBA JOOBA WHA?! I don’t know who was on this monstrosity, but you need to be arrested for fucking up a classic! WHAT IN THE HELL?! My god, I may have to kill someone and drink their blood for sustenance to get past this piece of shit.
• Whigfield (Techno Remix): Hmm. You know, this version wasn’t BAD. I could totally see this playing right now in The Balcony in Boise (It was faboo, wasn’t it Copper? Ah, the lulz) but it is just a little too…techno. Not a lot but for a Christmas song it is a tad bit of overkill.
• Cascada: My favorite cover not called “This Woman’s Work” by Maxwell. Seriously, this is a version that you have to listen to with the windows up but it is SO WORTH IT! Such a guilty pleasure of mine:
I also have to say that I would like to make slow, sweet love to that by the yulelog. Yeah, baby.
Okay, I am out for now. I will be back up tomorrow with the Countdown and hopefully this weekend with an update. I start the commute on Monday so updates may not be as frequent as usual but I will try my best to give the peeps what they want. Stay up until then, peeps.

A Little Bit Of Late Night Musing...
Okay….um, a few off the wall things happened today and I am not sure if Catnarok is coming or if I am just losing my shit.
1. While at the food court in the mall today (Needed to get my comic. More on that later) I walked by McDonald’s and heard someone order a Filet-O-Fish. Do they even still MAKE that monstrosity? Not only that, what person really WANTS to eat that thing? This person was kind of mad that they didn’t have it there. I mean…really?
2. After having about a thirty minute (Give or take) conversation with the comic book guy about the Bleach universe, the concept of Galactus being the embodiment of hunger and never satiated and how the Green Lantern is awesome (I totally have to read the Red Lantern Saga now!) I realized that my nerddom knows no bounds. I mean seriously, I now know why I have no friends and women mace me. Right here, buddy. I like my comics.
3. Women: STOP DOING THE DUCKFACE. Seriously, I ranted about this a few months ago and you are still doing it. Are you supposed to look hot? Are you supposed to look alluring? Well, let me tell you how you look: like a made up Steven Tyler. Well, more made up Steven Tyler. Either way, there is nothing hot about the duckface; it just makes you look retarded. Literally, tards look at you and laugh. I’ve seen them.
4. Is it just me, or does 50 Cent look more and more each day like he should be hanging around with Rash, Zitz and Pimple trying to stop the Dark Queen?:
Do a barrel roll, nigga! Whoo…I’m fucking awesome.
5. Watching South Park, I guess domestic abuse is fine as long as you put it to song. Nothing like beating someone’s ass to a soundtrack!
6. Okay, I don’t LIKE to stereotype but yesterday on I-25 on my way to pick up a friend to go get some food, I was stuck behind a car doing 45. ON THE FUCKING HIGHWAY. Once I passed the car, it was an old White lady in a straw hat in a fucking Cadilliac not paying attention to anything. Now one would say that I would be stereotyping if I said that was the look of all people that couldn’t drive. Well, fuck you. I am totally stereotyping when I say that we should kill all old white women. I’M KIDDING! Just the ones in straw hats.
7. I like how when unemployment is highest it has been in about 40 years…gas prices go down. Seeing as how so many people aint got a job to go to it just seems ironic to me.
Well, I am out of this bitch. Bedtime and all. Peace out, I’ll be back on Friday.

Gay Love: If It Was Good Enough For The Greeks, It's Good Enough For Jesus.
What is up people?! The fallout of the Chachi Video Awards has come and gone and quite simply I am shocked that Young Jeezy dominated. But Man, that song is the MAD NOTES. With that being said, there is something I wanted to address last week but never got around to it due to the hectic time I had election week. Fuck Socialism, all you haters missed the Obamalection Extravaganza was a mother fucking party! I aint had that much fun since the Rick James Cocaine and White Bitches Party in 1983! Good times, people. Good times.
Anyway, back on something I need to address. Last Tuesday, in the celebration of Obama’s history-making victory there was a story that was lost in the shuffle. In California, Proposition 8, or the banning and the (In some cases) nullification of all gay marriages, passed with full-on homophobic flying colors. Of the RAINBOW! Heh, I had to do it. Now let me explain something to you if you haven’t been reading the blog and don’t know: I am all for equal rights for the gay community that those of us in the straight community hold dear. Not because for a while everyone thought I was gay (And then in college when half my friends were gay, which oddly enough was my happiest time. I was festively straight!) but I understand that all people in this country, no matter what their differences of the “norm” deserve all the rights given. Except Turks & Irish, and they know why. So previously gay marriages were “passed” in California which in its essence pissed me the fuck off. There are no “Black marriages” or “White marriages” or “Jew marriages”. Okay, there ARE Jew weddings but they are a wacky people and you get my damn point. There shouldn’t be a separate term for the weddings of gays because they are FUCKING WEDDINGS. PERIOD. Now I couldn’t give a flying fuck about what the Bible says about marriage (Or the Quran or the Torah or any other fucking book you dipshits read. Especially the Book of Mormon…more on you fucksticks later) about it being between a man and a woman because all books of worship are flawed in their delivery and bullshit in their entirety. It stopped being a religious institution when the government began to give rights to people that were married just because they were married. It has always been my opinion that people aren’t against gay marriage for the title, more for the benefits.
“Those gays can adopt kids and make more gays?! Milky white baby Jesus doesn’t approve! I don’t want them there gays with the same rights and benefits from my job at the plant that I get for marrying my wife! Bitch, shut up and get in that there kitchen!”
Now you can call this stereotyping but I don’t like people that think that gays don’t deserve the same rights as you just because they actually LOVE their gay-ass partner rather than got married because they knocked some bitch up and stayed together for the Jebus. You are a fucking prick and you are defeating what America is. Well, it is kind of based on the premise that persecution based on a certain aspect of your being is wrong (That specific aspect being the fucking of ones cousin. You see, the Pilgrims were pretty much Shelbyvilleians. Watch the episode, it makes sense) and the freedom to be accepted for who you are is something to fight for. Yet, we as Americans seem to think that all people deserve the right to have all the freedoms…as long as it doesn’t include that guy. Or in this case, that GAY.
So since marriage is no longer a religious institution in the logical aspect because people get married on beaches and at comic book conventions so you can toss that bullshit right out the motherfucking window, what is the big fucking deal? You think homosexuality is immoral? You know what I think is immoral? Perse-fucking-cution and unabashed discrimination (Unless once again, it’s the Irish or Turks. And they know why!) and people in California think it is quite alright to make it so that gays can’t get married. That seems to be discrimination to me. I may be wrong, but I know fuck well I am not. Also, let’s just say as a matter of argument that marriage is STILL a religious institution. You think there aren’t gay Christians or Muslims? You trying to tell me they shouldn’t be married? It says NO WHERE in the bible that two men or two women shouldn’t be married. You can pull that bullshit and mistranslated line about “laying with another man as a sin” but does that say that those men can’t be married? NO. It just says they are living in sin and let’s be fucking honest here: there are straight people out there in loveless and abusive relationships that are for either money or power and as far as I am concerned that is living in fucking sin so suck my balls, religious fuckwits. Read up on James Dobson sometime and his bullshit “roles are clearly defined in the Bible” crap. Ladies, get in the kitchen!
Now my message to the religious fuckwits. Understand what I say now with clarity and full disclosure because I don’t want to be misunderstood. The Mormon Church, for funding a hate based and completely false attack on the gay community based on your bullshit book from your bullshit prophet and his bullshit meeting with a bullshit Mormon Jesus, can go to hell. You follow teachings from bigots and pedophiles, but what could I expect from people that think that Jesus was White, the Garden of Eden was in Missouri, Indians were Jews, being Black is a sin (It sucks sometimes, but it ain’t no sin) and of course that enchanted undergarments that protect against witches and bullets. But not against the gays! They have evil powers that get you to take your magical undergarments on and be tempted in your nether-regions by the gay! Or something of that manner, I kind of gave up after the undergarments fiasco in the book.
Lastly, I want to talk to you idiots (Barack Obama, I am looking squarely at your big eared ass. Oh, and John McCain and his old ass too for good measure) about the idea that “civil unions are just as good!” First off, no they aren’t. If they are, I would like to ask all of my married friends to go out, annul your marriage and get a civil union. Go on, I’ll wait. I will just watch some Abingdon Boys School to pass the time:
You back? What, you didn’t get one? I THOUGHT SO. You didn’t get one because they are bullshit. Here is a simple way to look at it:
MARRIAGE DOES NOT EQUAL CIVIL UNION
You know, I was watching The Rachel Maddow Show (I am so in love with her) and an analyst said something that I spoke of in college and even as recently as a few weeks ago when I went out for drinks with a friend of mine with a gay friend. I didn’t think anyone felt this way about it but I believe that the simplest way to explain the difference between “civil union” for homosexuals and “marriages” for heterosexuals (Which people will never say but that is the douchery and hypocrisy of homophobes) is like “Whites Only” and “Coloreds Only” water fountains. Oh, not the same you say? Well, quite simply to create an alternative just to create a separate place or term that is different from the norm is “separate but equal” all over again. The conditions in Coloreds Only bathrooms and hotels were horrendous and the concept of civil unions a “separate” form of marriage but “equal” to marriage without carrying it in title is quite simply…separate…but…equal. So for you Black people that voted for Prop 8, you are ushering in Jim Crow for gays. Yes, that is a tad of exaggeration but so was the idea of bringing people over from another country to do all the work they didn’t want to do. Wait…
At the end of the day, it isn’t “gay marriage”. It is just “marriage” and this is coming from someone that believes all marriage is wrong. Banning the marriage of homosexual couples is intolerance at its finest. It’s religious intolerance, sexual intolerance and most importantly it is just plain hypocritical. Would Jesus really approve of such actions? Probably not, he would be too busy whining about his hands and feet. OH NO I DIDN’T! Yeah, I did.
I’ve had enough ranting for a while. I will try to be back up tomorrow. Peace out, ya’ll.

The Greatest Show On Earth!!! That Isn't A Rick James Party, I Mean.
It is about that time! After delays upon delays for extenuating circumstances (Mainly my laziness) I have finally given the peeps what they are looking for! So after a long wait, it is time for the…
Passion of Chachi Presents: The Third Annual Chachi Video Awards!
Let’s start off with some pre-show awards!
Best Collaboration Video
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy

Fonzworth Bentley feat Kanye West & Andre 3000 – Everybody (Don’t Stop)
Game feat Keisha Cole – Game’s Pain
Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On
The Winner Is…Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On!
Now THIS is a collaboration. Now Fonzworth Bentley and company came close (Literally, they were the slotted winners until like 5 minutes ago!) and T.K. & Misia had a convincing argument due to how often I listened to them earlier this year. But this video had something that I haven’t seen in a hip hop video in a long time. The verses of Ye’ and Jeezy really just set this video off, and you know how I didn’t like Jeezy two years ago. What can I say, I believe in the Snowman now!
Best Pop Video (Male)
Kevin Rudolf feat Lil Wayne – Let It Rock
Daughtry – What About Now
Chris Brown – Forever
Rain (Bi) – Love Story
TM Revolution – Resonance
Robin Thicke – Magic
Fall Out Boy – I Don’t Care
Maroon 5 – Goodnight, Goodnight
The Winner Is…Robin Thicke – Magic!
Kind of a light year on the pop end of the spectrum but Robin Thicke once again proves that White boys can have some soul. The dance moves in the video are a tad bit too JT-esque but I can get over that. Besides, you KNOW this was your jam!
Best Pop Video (Female)
YUI- Summer Song
Colbie Calliat – Realize
Namie Amuro – NEW LOOK
Daffy – Warrick Avenue
NaNa – Movin’ On
Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands
Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
The Winner Is…Duffy – Warrick Avenue!
Okay…I am a closet Duffy fan. Even more so than I am a closet Colbie Calliat fan and she came hella close to winning this one. However, seeing as how I listen to “Warrick Avenue” whenever I feel sad and the video makes me even sadder…I have to give it the nod.
Best R&B Video (Male)
John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light
T-Pain feat Lil’ Wayne – I Can’t Believe It
Robin Thicke – Magic
Ne-Yo – Closer
Rain (Bi) – Love Story

Chris Brown – Forever
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
The Winner Is… Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy!
Once again, another last second change! John Legend looked to have this one won from TK by a hair but I really had to take into account just HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS VIDEO THIS SPRING! I mean you know I was all over this on the Countdown and if you know me personally, on general purpose. TK is finally getting some US love, peeps!
Best Comeback Video

Rain (Bi) – Love Story
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
New Kids On The Block – Summertime
TM Revolution – Resonance
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
The Winner Is…Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl!
You know, I have been a Hyori Lee fan for a minute (Ever since “10 Minutes” actually) and after the whole “Get Ya” fiasco I wondered how she would take it. I mean, being accused of stealing from Britney Spears is SAD. However, after this video I will never doubt her again. This video was hella hot and although she needs to eat a sandwich…I would hit that.
Best R&B Video (Female)
Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair
Rihanna - Disturbia
NaNa – Movin’ On
Duffy – Warrick Avenue
Jennifer Hudson – Spotlight
Namie Amuro – New Look
Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F.
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
The Winner Is…YA-KYIM – Super Looper!
Now if you had to sit in a car with me you know that this song was on all the damn time. And for good reason because it is awesome! Add in the fact that all the ladies in this group are DAMN FINE (Especially Yurie) and all I have to say is we have a winnar!
Best J-Pop Video (Male)
KELUN – CHU-BURA
Toshinobu Kobota feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
TM Revolution – Resonance
L’Arc~en~Ciel – NEXUS 4
UVERworld – Koishikute
Home Made Kazoku – NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW
LONG SHOT PARTY – DISTANCE
Seamo feat Ayuze Kozue – Honey
The Winner Is... Toshinobu Kobota feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
This may be my favorite SONG of the year (Tune in for the Chachi Music Awards in January, bitches!) because it is the late night notes! When I first saw the video I had just watched the MTV Icon for TK and this video just made me say “Yeah, he deserves to be an Icon…unlike LL Cool J” because this is better than most of the R&B I have heard over the last 10 years. Welcome back, TK!
Best J-Pop Video (Female)
YUI – LAUGH AWAY
NaNa – Movin’ On
May J. – Do Tha, To Tha
Yuna Ito – I Miss You
Kumi Koda – TABOO
Namie Amuro – NEW LOOK
Hearts Grow – Sora
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
The Winner Is…NaNa – Movin’ On!
Okay, you know how much it hurt me that this song didn’t get as many nominations as it deserved in 2007 because of my cut off date for certain categories. But this year, NaNa gets her due because I was all about this video last year. From the first time I saw it, I was taken in and I have never looked back. Beyonce wishes her dancing repertoire was this deep (Rather than just gyrating and shit. That aint dancing, it’s stupid)
Well, those are the preshow awards handed out earlier this evening. Now it is time for the live show!
CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!?!?!?!
Let’s get started with one of the more interesting and well-rounded categories!
Breakthrough Video of the Year
Seamo feat Ayuze Kozue – Honey
Usher – Moving Mountains
T-Pain feat. Lil Wayne – I Can’t Believe It
Namie Amuro – New Look
Asian Kung Fu Generation – After Dark
Gnarles Barkley – Run
Crystal Kay – Shining
Linkin Park – Leave Out All The Rest
The Winner Is….. Asian Kung Fu Generation – After Dark!
Yeah, it got the “Bleach Bump” but this video has something more to it: heart. I was awaiting this videos premiere and when I finally saw it I was shocked. The video actually matched with the lyrics! You never see that in J-Rock anymore! Dir En Grey…I am SO LOOKING AT YOU. While not a big budget as T-Pain or Gnarles Barkley, it was till awesome.
Worst Video of the Year
G-Unit – Rider Pt. 2
Nana Tanimura – Jungle Dance
LL Cool J. feat. The Dream – Baby
Bi (Rain) – Any Dream
Lil Wayne feat. Static Major – Lollipop
Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl
Nelly feat. Fergie – Party People
Leah Dizon – Vanilla
The Winner Is….. Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl!
I hate this fucking song so fucking much. The video aint much better but man…why is she famous? I mean I know why Kato Kailen is famous but come on. This song sucks, she can’t sing and all she is doing is preying on the whoredome of impressionable, dumb bitches. Yet…I can’t knock her genius. Song still sucks, though.
Best Pop Video of the Year
Colbie Calliat - Realize
NLT – He Said, She Said
Paramore – That’s What You Get
James Morrison – You Give Me Something
Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands
RBD – Inalcanzable
New Kids On The Block – Summertime
Lady GaGa – Just Dance
The Winner Is….Paramore – That’s What You Get!
Hells yeah! You know how I loves me some Paramore and you KNEW they were going to take an award home! Kind of sad they took it home at the expense of Colbie but this really captured how I feel about…well, everything. The video reminds me of a Porter party though with all the red cups and randomness. Great times!
Best J-Pop Video of the Year
Yui – Laugh Away
Hearts Grow – Sora
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
Namie Amuro – New Look
Bennie K – Monochrome
Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F.
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
NaNa – Show Girl
The Winner Is….Hearts Grow – Sora!
I cannot stop watching this video! I know I may (Read: WILL) get V& for loving it but it is so worth it! Hearts Grow picked up some nods for “Himawari” last year and this year finally took one home for one of the best videos of 2008. Can I just say…Haruna is rather “teh cute?” There, I said it.
Best K-Pop Video of the Year
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
SHINee – Replay
Wonder Girls – So Hot
Tae Yang – Prayer
Uhm Jung Hwa – D.I.S.C.O.
Big Bang – Haru Haru
Girls Generation (SNSD) – Kissing You
Jewelry – Everyone SHHH!
The Winner Is….Wonder Girls – So Hot!
God damn it…I am so going to the jail. I care not what anyone says: if you listen to ANY K-Pop in 2008 then you know and either love or despise this video. Even still, you know at least one full a part of the actual dance because it is so easy and this song is so-so-so-so-CATCHY! Damn you, jailbait!
Best J-Rock Video of the Year

L’Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN
Nightmare – Lost In Blue
BACK-ON – Sands Of Time

Stance Punks – I Want To Be
The Winner Is….HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – HOT LIMIT!
Such a damn shame that HAMC is breaking up but this is a great way to go out: Covering a TM REVOLUTION classic! I loved the original and the cover actually HAS TM IN IT WITH ALL HIS BISHIE HAWT GLORY! Hell, the video is almost a full remake of the original (Even the outfit Hiroko wears!) which makes it bad to the ass.
Best R&B Video of the Year
Tae Yang – Look At Me
NaNa – Show Girl
John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light
Alicia Keys – Like You’ll Never See Me Again
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F.
Robin Thicke – Magic
The Winner Is…. Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy!
TK and Misia are running away with this year’s awards show! His second win in the R&B category shows a shift I think America should look at. Although Rain and Se7en are more pop than R&B, I think that TK would do quite well in America with videos like this. It is the bomb notes at karaoke once I get the words down!
Best Dance Video of the Year
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
Chris Brown – Forever
NaNa – Show Girl
Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F.
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
Wonder Girls – So Hot
Tae Yang - Prayer
May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha
The Winner Is…. Wonder Girls – So Hot!
Yeah...I am going to hate this year. This video had the best dance sequences of the year and you KNOW WHY. This song is just so-so-so-so-DANCEABLE! And since it has its own dance (Like the Soulja Boy but not crappy) you know you want to learn it. So go out and do it!
Best Rock Video of the Year
Asian Kung Fu Generation – After Dark
Paramore – That’s What You Get
Kelun – CHU-BURA
L`Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN
HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – HOT LIMIT
BACK-ON – Sands Of Time
UVERworld – Roots
Abingdon Boys School – BLADE CHORD
The Winner Is…..Paramore – That’s What You Get!
This was one hotly contested category! After running away with the Pop Video of the Year award, they win a hard fought battle in the Rock category. Paramore takes home their second award of the night, beating out both Abingdon Boys School (Last year’s winners!), HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR and KELUN. Such a hard fought win for the guys (And sexy lady) in a big year for rock videos!
Best Hip-Hop Video of the Year
Kanye West feat Chris Martin – Homecoming
Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On
T.I. – No Matter What
Snoop Dogg – Sexual Seduction
Game feat Keisha Cole – Game’s Pain
CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell Williams) feat Thom Yorke – Us Placers
Lil’ Wayne feat Static Major - Lollipop
Fonzworth Bentley feat Kanye West & Andre 3000 – Everybody (Don’t Stop)
The Winner Is…Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On!
Yeah, I am just as shocked as you are. Two wins for a guy I wished death on in 2006. I never thought Young Jeezy would grow on me but this video was arguably my favorite rap video in a long time (Barring UGK’s “International Players Anthem”). The verses were great and the video actually had a…you know…point? It is something that has been lacking in hip hop videos over the last DECADE. Add in some Ye’ and you know its fire!
Best Video from An Anime
Asian Kung Fu Generation – After Dark (Bleach)
Hearts Grow – Sora (Tetsuwan Birdy Decode)
TM Revolution – Resonance (Soul Eater)
ON/OFF - Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi (Vampire Knight)
Megumi Hayashibara – Plenty of Grit (Slayers Revolutions)
Ikimono-Gakari – Blue Bird (Naruto: Shippuuden)
UVERworld – Geikido (D. Gray Man)
FLOW – WORLD END (Code Geass R2)
The Winner Is….Hearts Grow – Sora!
Hearts Grow brings home another one! This one was tough because I really like “Geikido” and “After Dark” but in the end I have to say that this song matches the anime opening to a tee. The series is light and the song is very floaty (If that’s a word) so they match awesomely! This gives Hearts Grow their second win of the night, tying them with a few others! Haruna, I love you!
Best Group Video of the Year
Kelun – CHU-BURA
Paramore – That’s What You Get
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell Williams) feat Thom Yorke – Us Placers
Wonder Girls – So Hot
HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – HOT LIMIT
Bennie K – Monochrome
Hearts Grow – Sora
The Winner Is….Bennie K – Monochrome!
About damn time! Despite my unhealthy obsession with Yuki and Cico, this is their first Chachi Music Video award ever! And this one is well deserved because I lived by this song for over six months this year. The song makes me cry and the video makes me reflective but in the end, sometimes a good cry is all you need. I’m straight, really! This also gives Bennie K their first win of the night!
Best Male Video of the Year
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
Kanye West feat Chris Martin – Homecoming
Game feat Keisha Cole – Game’s Pain
John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light
Fonzworth Bentley feat Kanye West & Andre 3000 – Everybody (Don’t Stop)
Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On
T.I. – No Matter What
The Winner Is….Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On!
In the toughest category of the year, Young Jeezy comes out on top! With TK, T.I., Kanye, John Legend and Usher all vying for this award, this was some tough battlin’! Jeezy’s video has been running away with this show, with this being his THIRD award of the night! He and Toshinobu are now tied with Wonder Girls, Paramore, NaNa and Hearts Grow all having two themselves but this may just be Jeezy’s night!
Best Female Video of the Year
Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands
Alicia Keyes – Like You’ll Never See Me Again
May J. – Do Tha, Do Tha
Yui – Laugh Away
NaNa – Showgirl
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
Erykah Badu - Honey
Yui – Namidairo
The Winner Is….NaNa – Show Girl!
This is a video that fell through the cracks due to the dominant return of Bennie K (Who debuted at #13 when this video hit the top) and followed the success of “Movin’ On” with its SIX WEEK RUN on the top. However, this video held its own against the competition and actually showed me the hawt NaNa over the kick-ass dancer NaNa (Although she busts a move in this one, too) and me likey a lot. So this gives NaNa three wins tonight with two different videos! Big stuff! Now it is time for the grand finale…
Best Video of the Year
Bennie K – Monochrome
CRS (Kanye West, Pharrell Williams & Lupe Fiasco) feat Thom York – Us Placers
NaNa – Movin On
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
Young Jeezy feat. Kanye West – Put On
Wonder Girls – So Hot
Paramore – That’s What You Get
The Winner Is…Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On!
UPSET OF THE YEAR! After the run that Bennie K had, they looked like a lock for this award. However, I really debated this one and Young Jeezy really stepped his game up with this one. NaNa and CRS came VERY close to taking this one home but CRS actually got shut out this year (With four nominations to boot!) while NaNa didn’t dominate as much in 2008 as “Put On” did. The video’s message meant a lot if you really think about it, a lot more than most videos. This was a hotly contested category with all the videos holding the top spot for multiple weeks but Young Jeezy and Kanye West edge out the competition (AND I MEAN EDGE!) to take the Video of the Year!
The Chachi Video Music Awards are officially over! It has been a kick ass year in music videos this year with big returns, big comebacks and continued success. Let’s have the final tally of the winners:

Congratulations to all the winners! Well, except Katy Perry. She sucks. Tune in on November 21st when I announce the nominees for the Chachi Music Awards for the best albums and singles of the year! This is where I need your input peeps because I am kind of biased and just like the Video Awards, I am taking your suggestions! Except Katy Perry or Nelly. Until next time, peeps! Chachi is out and thank you for coming! I hope you enjoyed the awards and I will see you back here next November!
Chachi Out!
Passion of Chachi Presents: The Third Annual Chachi Video Awards!
Let’s start off with some pre-show awards!
Best Collaboration Video
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
Zeebra feat May J – Shinin’ Like A Diamond
John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light
CRS (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell Williams) feat Thom Yorke – Us Placers
Fonzworth Bentley feat Kanye West & Andre 3000 – Everybody (Don’t Stop)
Game feat Keisha Cole – Game’s Pain
Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On
The Winner Is…Young Jeezy feat Kanye West – Put On!
Now THIS is a collaboration. Now Fonzworth Bentley and company came close (Literally, they were the slotted winners until like 5 minutes ago!) and T.K. & Misia had a convincing argument due to how often I listened to them earlier this year. But this video had something that I haven’t seen in a hip hop video in a long time. The verses of Ye’ and Jeezy really just set this video off, and you know how I didn’t like Jeezy two years ago. What can I say, I believe in the Snowman now!
Best Pop Video (Male)
Kevin Rudolf feat Lil Wayne – Let It Rock
Daughtry – What About Now
Chris Brown – Forever
Rain (Bi) – Love Story
TM Revolution – Resonance
Robin Thicke – Magic
Fall Out Boy – I Don’t Care
Maroon 5 – Goodnight, Goodnight
The Winner Is…Robin Thicke – Magic!
Kind of a light year on the pop end of the spectrum but Robin Thicke once again proves that White boys can have some soul. The dance moves in the video are a tad bit too JT-esque but I can get over that. Besides, you KNOW this was your jam!
Best Pop Video (Female)
YUI- Summer Song
Colbie Calliat – Realize
Namie Amuro – NEW LOOK
Daffy – Warrick Avenue
NaNa – Movin’ On
Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands
Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
The Winner Is…Duffy – Warrick Avenue!
Okay…I am a closet Duffy fan. Even more so than I am a closet Colbie Calliat fan and she came hella close to winning this one. However, seeing as how I listen to “Warrick Avenue” whenever I feel sad and the video makes me even sadder…I have to give it the nod.
Best R&B Video (Male)
John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light
T-Pain feat Lil’ Wayne – I Can’t Believe It
Robin Thicke – Magic
Ne-Yo – Closer
Rain (Bi) – Love Story
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
Chris Brown – Forever
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
The Winner Is… Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy!
Once again, another last second change! John Legend looked to have this one won from TK by a hair but I really had to take into account just HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS VIDEO THIS SPRING! I mean you know I was all over this on the Countdown and if you know me personally, on general purpose. TK is finally getting some US love, peeps!
Best Comeback Video
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
Bennie K – Monochrome
John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light
Rain (Bi) – Love Story
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
New Kids On The Block – Summertime
TM Revolution – Resonance
Usher feat Young Jeezy – Love In This Club
The Winner Is…Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl!
You know, I have been a Hyori Lee fan for a minute (Ever since “10 Minutes” actually) and after the whole “Get Ya” fiasco I wondered how she would take it. I mean, being accused of stealing from Britney Spears is SAD. However, after this video I will never doubt her again. This video was hella hot and although she needs to eat a sandwich…I would hit that.
Best R&B Video (Female)
Alicia Keys – Teenage Love Affair
Rihanna - Disturbia
NaNa – Movin’ On
Duffy – Warrick Avenue
Jennifer Hudson – Spotlight
Namie Amuro – New Look
Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F.
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
The Winner Is…YA-KYIM – Super Looper!
Now if you had to sit in a car with me you know that this song was on all the damn time. And for good reason because it is awesome! Add in the fact that all the ladies in this group are DAMN FINE (Especially Yurie) and all I have to say is we have a winnar!
Best J-Pop Video (Male)
KELUN – CHU-BURA
Toshinobu Kobota feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
TM Revolution – Resonance
L’Arc~en~Ciel – NEXUS 4
UVERworld – Koishikute
Home Made Kazoku – NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW
LONG SHOT PARTY – DISTANCE
Seamo feat Ayuze Kozue – Honey
The Winner Is... Toshinobu Kobota feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
This may be my favorite SONG of the year (Tune in for the Chachi Music Awards in January, bitches!) because it is the late night notes! When I first saw the video I had just watched the MTV Icon for TK and this video just made me say “Yeah, he deserves to be an Icon…unlike LL Cool J” because this is better than most of the R&B I have heard over the last 10 years. Welcome back, TK!
Best J-Pop Video (Female)
YUI – LAUGH AWAY
NaNa – Movin’ On
May J. – Do Tha, To Tha
Yuna Ito – I Miss You
Kumi Koda – TABOO
Namie Amuro – NEW LOOK
Hearts Grow – Sora
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
The Winner Is…NaNa – Movin’ On!
Okay, you know how much it hurt me that this song didn’t get as many nominations as it deserved in 2007 because of my cut off date for certain categories. But this year, NaNa gets her due because I was all about this video last year. From the first time I saw it, I was taken in and I have never looked back. Beyonce wishes her dancing repertoire was this deep (Rather than just gyrating and shit. That aint dancing, it’s stupid)
Well, those are the preshow awards handed out earlier this evening. Now it is time for the live show!
CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!?!?!?!
Let’s get started with one of the more interesting and well-rounded categories!
Breakthrough Video of the Year
Seamo feat Ayuze Kozue – Honey
Usher – Moving Mountains
T-Pain feat. Lil Wayne – I Can’t Believe It
Namie Amuro – New Look
Asian Kung Fu Generation – After Dark
Gnarles Barkley – Run
Crystal Kay – Shining
Linkin Park – Leave Out All The Rest
The Winner Is….. Asian Kung Fu Generation – After Dark!
Yeah, it got the “Bleach Bump” but this video has something more to it: heart. I was awaiting this videos premiere and when I finally saw it I was shocked. The video actually matched with the lyrics! You never see that in J-Rock anymore! Dir En Grey…I am SO LOOKING AT YOU. While not a big budget as T-Pain or Gnarles Barkley, it was till awesome.
Worst Video of the Year
G-Unit – Rider Pt. 2
Nana Tanimura – Jungle Dance
LL Cool J. feat. The Dream – Baby
Bi (Rain) – Any Dream
Lil Wayne feat. Static Major – Lollipop
Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl
Nelly feat. Fergie – Party People
Leah Dizon – Vanilla
The Winner Is….. Katy Perry – I Kissed A Girl!
I hate this fucking song so fucking much. The video aint much better but man…why is she famous? I mean I know why Kato Kailen is famous but come on. This song sucks, she can’t sing and all she is doing is preying on the whoredome of impressionable, dumb bitches. Yet…I can’t knock her genius. Song still sucks, though.
Best Pop Video of the Year
Colbie Calliat - Realize
NLT – He Said, She Said
Paramore – That’s What You Get
James Morrison – You Give Me Something
Nelly Furtado – In God’s Hands
RBD – Inalcanzable
New Kids On The Block – Summertime
Lady GaGa – Just Dance
The Winner Is….Paramore – That’s What You Get!
Hells yeah! You know how I loves me some Paramore and you KNEW they were going to take an award home! Kind of sad they took it home at the expense of Colbie but this really captured how I feel about…well, everything. The video reminds me of a Porter party though with all the red cups and randomness. Great times!
Best J-Pop Video of the Year
Yui – Laugh Away
Hearts Grow – Sora
YA-KYIM – Super Looper
Namie Amuro – New Look
Bennie K – Monochrome
Foxxi MisQ – X.B.F.
Toshinobu Kobuta feat. Misia - Flying Easy Loving Crazy
NaNa – Show Girl
The Winner Is….Hearts Grow – Sora!
I cannot stop watching this video! I know I may (Read: WILL) get V& for loving it but it is so worth it! Hearts Grow picked up some nods for “Himawari” last year and this year finally took one home for one of the best videos of 2008. Can I just say…Haruna is rather “teh cute?” There, I said it.
Best K-Pop Video of the Year
Hyori Lee – U-Go-Girl
SHINee – Replay
Wonder Girls – So Hot
Tae Yang – Prayer
Uhm Jung Hwa – D.I.S.C.O.
Big Bang – Haru Haru
Girls Generation (SNSD) – Kissing You
Jewelry – Everyone SHHH!
The Winner Is….Wonder Girls – So Hot!
God damn it…I am so going to the jail. I care not what anyone says: if you listen to ANY K-Pop in 2008 then you know and either love or despise this video. Even still, you know at least one full a part of the actual dance because it is so easy and this song is so-so-so-so-CATCHY! Damn you, jailbait!
Best J-Rock Video of the Year
FLOW – WORLD END
L’Arc~en~Ciel – DRINK IT DOWN
Nightmare – Lost In Blue
BACK-ON – Sands Of Time

Maximum The Hormon – Tsume Tsume Tsume

Chachi Out!
Friday, November 07, 2008
The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same...
What is up, peeps! It is Friday and things are looking quite the nice (Except it being cold as hell outside) and before I head out to run the streets it is time for the end of the work week staple!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
First, let me begin with the videos that have fallen out of the Countdown…
Falling Out:
Game feat Lil’ Wayne – My Life (Peaked at #5)
It was a big year for Game (And bigger for Lil’ Wayne, depending on who you ask) with two 5Top Five videos but he finally falls off this week. Nothing new on the horizon but who knows.
Let’s get this par-tay started!
20. YUI – I’ll Be (New Entry)
YUI IS BACK! This gives her four videos on the Countdown for the year of 2008 (Second only to Kanye West) but she hasn’t reached number one in over a year and a half! This song is in between “Life” and “Rolling Star” in terms of rocking which makes it rather perfect. Can this video break the streak?
19. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #15)
Well, it looks like the supergroup of 2008 will NOT have an album out by the end of this year like I was promised. However, Lupe’s next album is supposed to be a three disc set so I know what I will be rocking all 2009.
18. Rain (Bi) – Love Story (Last Week #16)
Rain falls two big spots this week as he once again has two videos on the chart. It is good to see him back, although I am wondering what the hell is up with his “magic stick” dance because I hate it. Everything else is right on time though.
17. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #13)
Could the world be ending for FLOW? It has been a while since they released a new video or single and despite the awesomeness of this video, it can’t stay on here forever.
16. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (Last Week #20)
More Rain is always great! I wonder if he is getting enough sleep, though. His eyes look puffy as all hell lately.
15. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #12, Two Weeks at #1)
Okay, where in the hell is the follow-up? I was really thinking that this could be the start of something big but instead I am left hanging. Just like my luck with the ladies….*le sigh*
14. Big Bang – Number 1 (Last Week #14)
New video already?! Damn, these dudes are busy as hell to end the year!
13. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #17)
So I must say this…she is really sexing it up for no reason for her American release. What I loved about BoA was her cuteness and ability to be sexy without having to get her eagle on. Looks like she will be doing that soon enough. NO, BoA, NO!
12. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #10, One Week at #1)
Okay, Evolver is a kickass album. I am just going to say it right here and right now. Go out and buy that thing RIGHT NOW!
11. Yuna Ito – Miss You (Last Week #9)
MORE YUNA ITO! And it is danceable to boot! Too bad this video has to fall from the Top 10 but Yuna Ito dance = sexy fun time for me! See “Losin” and “Stuck On You” for further reference.
10. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #8)
NEW UVERWORLD! AND HOLY FUCK DOES IT ROCK YOUR FACE! It is about time these guys just picked up the instruments and went all “D-Technolife” on our asses. This video stays in the Top Ten this week to continue their success but look out for their new one!
9. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #11)
HAMC continue to move up this week with their swan song. Can I just say that I am still in shock about their break-up? I mean they have been around for a while and making great music but man it is still a shock.
8. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (Last Week #18) [Biggest Mover]
Well, who didn’t see this coming? I mean seriously? I am all about this song (Soon to be the next ringback along with Rick Astley) and this video is at least better than anything 50 Cent has laid on our doorsteps.
7. Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Last Week #7)
Alicia Keys stands pat this week at number seven as we move on. Okay, the song from the Bond movie will be on here. I hate the White Stripes but dammit I love that video! And Alicia is looking all fine in the video, too. Damn you woman!
6. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Last Week #5)
Miss Hyo-Ri falls only one spot this week as we near the Chachi Awards on Sunday. She has had a good comeback after the whole “Dark Angel” debacle. Also I have to say that…she is damn fine. You know it, quit acting like you don’t!
5. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #6)
Kumi Koda is in the Top Five again! It has been a while (And a lot of either bad or weird videos) but she is back near the top and I must say…I have missed you, baby. Not as vulgar as “Juicy” (Although I wish it was) or as bad as “But” which makes it Top Five material.
4. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #2)
Looks like the King falls two spots this week with his latest video pretty much on his heels. It has been a big year for the soon to be in jail T.I. including three Top 10 videos and a number one along with that. Despite all that…he will be gone for pretty much all of 2009 due to dumbfuckery. At least he voted. We are down to three!
3. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #4, Three Weeks at #1)
After falling from the top spot last week, Hearts Grow bounces back this week to number three! Can they pull a UGK and take the top spot back after falling from the throne? If any song can do it…it is this one.
2. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #1, One Week at #1)
After only one week at number one, the Wonder Girls fall a spot this week to the runner up position! That gives them two number one videos in the last half of 2008, both in impressive fashion. Problem is that listening to them will get me V& and I really don’t like the jail. Well, with the Wonder Girls at number two, we have a new number one!
1. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #3, One Week at #1)
Look who it is! For the FIFTH TIME in 2008, Kanye West tops the Countdown! Say what you will about Kanye, he continues to make changes in what he does to differentiate himself from the rest of the rap game. Now I for one am SICK of the vocorder but one way to make it work is to have a song that doesn’t suck and a video that confuses the hell out of me. This has both! Which is why it tops the Countdown this week!
That is all for now, peeps! Tune in next Friday to see of Kanye can hold on to the top for a second week in a row! Or can the Wonder Girls return to the top spot? Or will Hearts Grow bounce back and make it a month at the top? See you in seven to find out!
Well, I am off to see “Madagascar 2” and then get some sushi. Tomorrow is “Soul Men” and “Role Models” (I think it is called that) so this weekend is action packed since it is my last free weekend (If you didn’t know, I am working in Denver again as of the 17th). Stay up peeps.

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
First, let me begin with the videos that have fallen out of the Countdown…
Falling Out:
Game feat Lil’ Wayne – My Life (Peaked at #5)
It was a big year for Game (And bigger for Lil’ Wayne, depending on who you ask) with two 5Top Five videos but he finally falls off this week. Nothing new on the horizon but who knows.
Let’s get this par-tay started!
20. YUI – I’ll Be (New Entry)
YUI IS BACK! This gives her four videos on the Countdown for the year of 2008 (Second only to Kanye West) but she hasn’t reached number one in over a year and a half! This song is in between “Life” and “Rolling Star” in terms of rocking which makes it rather perfect. Can this video break the streak?

Voting: It's All Fun And Games Until Jesus Gets Involved.
First off, how many of you voted FOR Proposition 48? Understand one thing: A ZYGOTE IS NOT A PERSON. It is an egg (Or whatever, I am still kind of buzzin right now. I needs me a drank!). I am going to get an Egg McMuffin right now to prove my damn point. Yaaaay, I aborted a chicken baby! And it was delicious. A zygote can't vote, go to war or sing along with the greatest song of all time: BOSTON'S "MORE THAN A FEELING":
Also, fuck California for passing Proposition 8. Being married is something that I always thought was wrong by definition (Unless marriage involves driving around in a tiny airplane fighting crime like the Rescue Rangers, I aint interested. Even still, the fact that you bible bumping asshats would take the right of people to marry because gays are happier together than your straight asses (It's true, gays are a naturally happy people. Like Greeks!) shows how un-Christian you really are. You expect me to believe that Jesus wasn’t AT LEAST bi-curious? Judas was jilted, that's why he was pissed. YOU SAID LOVED-DID-DID-DID ME JESUS! Yeah, I went there and if you are offended then FUCK YOU because you are a bigot for not wanting gays to participate in the same act all straight Christians participate in with a failure at a 50% clip. And you people wonder why you never get an NFL team. BTW, anyone down to see “Milk” at the end of this month with me?:
I’ll be there. But not for Sean Penn. Lastly, as for Carrie Underwood…I didn’t know you were a celebrity. The more you know, I guess….jackass.

2008: The Year The Bullshit About Being Able To Be Anything You Want To Be Actually Came True.
Say what you will about what came to pass tonight, but when John Lewis was asked about what Barack Obama's win tonight meant to him...even I teared up a bit. Again, say what you need to about whatever you want but after being through what he has been through (You know, getting his ass kicked by the police in the Grand Old South because he wanted...you know...fair treatment and all) this moment is big for him and I am happy for him after seeing what he has seen and going through what he has gone through to finally see this day:
I could do without Jesse Jackson because he annoys the shit out of me but...he's kind of everywhere like Lil Wayne was on the remix earlier this year. Unlike Lil' Wayne, Barack Obama delivered. With the election done and people already bitching about the downfall of America (Which if you believe...I just hope you die because as The Outlawz would say you are "non service" because if you believe that socialism will be brought into play from a bunch of shits in Washington that can't even figure out how to play a game of Chutes-N-Ladders then you are just sad) it is time to let the division of America by the over-zealous, hippie douchebag liberals and the pissed-off-for-no-reason "aw nah, we gonna lose our guns and freedom, Jethro!" conservatives zombie twits begin....
....NOW.
You know, you fuckers are both shitting on a historic night. If you don't get WHY it is historic then you can just suck my balls. Yes, my balls. You can suck them...dry...JACKASSES. I am out, the day is done and quit yer bitching. You lose one election and you act like the United States is going to be raped by the Skrulls or some shit. Read the comic, Captain America (Albeit Bucky), Thor and Iron Man save us from the Skrulls and a new arc begins. Or something like that, they are on six of seven and I am guessing about the ending.
And that is all. Good night, peeps.

Blathering Blatherskite! Shit, Nothing Happend.
Okay, I just want to talk about something real quick. I am beginning to notice the influx (you like that vocab word, don’t you baby?) of “alter-egos” in music and I must say it is very fucking stupid. First there was Mariah Carey with “Mimi” to which I believe is Careyese for “trollop whore” because that is what she became. Then there was Mary J. Blige with “Brook Lynn” to which I say WHAT THE FUCK because I didn’t think that she was…well…talented enough to merit an alter-ego. Now we have Beyonce and her trifling ass with this “Sasha Fierce” (Spelling? Not like I give a shit…) and NOW we have Ciara and “Super CiCi” or whatever the name is and all I have to say is enough is enough.
If you need an alter ego to be a whore, then you ARE DOING IT WRONG. Now there are some males with “alter egos” (Tyrese had his “Black Ty” ridiculousness but…I didn’t buy it and neither did you. Literally) but I think most men learned that alter egos only work for two people: superheroes (Male or female although…Wonder Woman’s secret identity was LAME) and of course…DMX!
However, I don’t think it is an alter-ego if you are really fucking crazy. The simple fact is that alter-egos are fucking stupid unless you have another identity to protect that the people don’t know about. Bruce Wayne created Batman so he wasn’t some whacked out philanthropist in a rather conspicuous looking cape and cowl on rooftops and punching the shit out of a lardass in a penguin costume. I don’t know if it is…constitutional…to do that. What kind of reputation do recording artists have to protect? Their reputation for putting out a shitty product and still expecting us to pay full price for it? I would want to hide my identity, too. If you want to make crappy music, you don’t need to create another personality to rip off your fans. Just do it with a straight face. Lest I remind you of Chris Gaines. If you don’t know, I wouldn’t look it up unless you want your ears raped. Trust me, it was BAD.
I had to get that off my chest. I am off to play me some Fable II. So far….I am not impressed but I think I was the only person that despised the first Fable so I guess that is why. It has had its moments. I will give a better review at some point this week. Until then, peace out. And don’t forget to vote! If not for Mudkip, then for the Black guy. Because the fewer Irish in power, the fucking better. YEAH, I SAID IT!

Man, Pedo Bear Approves....But The Law Doesn't.
Happy Halloween bitches! Before you go out and gorge on candy or get poisoning from alcohol, you gotta find out the best twenty videos in the world! So it is time for….
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!
Let’s get started with another video by the hottest Korean walking the Earth today….
20. Rain (Bi) – Rainism (New Entry)
Rain is a bad boy and he is back! I must say I am all about this video right now, even more than I am about “Love Story” and that is my slow jam right there. Rain is back to dancing and while it isn’t as awesome dance-wise as “I’m Coming” it was still great. More Bi is best!
19. Game feat. Lil Wayne – My Life (Last Week #16)
Looks like Game is spending his last week on the Countdown this week after a great summer and fall. I wonder what he has up next.
18. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (New Entry)
Yeah, you know it. The more TI we have on this planet the better off we will be. Also, big ups to TI for going out and voting before he gets sentenced. If a man that is about to go to jail can go out and vote, so can you! Arrogant punks.
17. Boa – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #19)
You know, I really just want a Korean version of this song. I mean I loves me some Boa but damn it the US version of the video sucks and the pacing of translation is not my cup of tea. But it is Boa so….GIMME MOAR!
16. Rain (Bi) – Love Story (Last Week #17)
Man, now that I know the lyrics to this song, this is going on the late night mix CD. This and “Move On” are two of his best songs yet.
15. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #13)
So um….I am not going to get a CRS album this year, am I? Yeah, I thought so….jackass.
14. Big Bang – Number 1 (Last Week #14)
Big Bang stands pat at number 14 this week as we move along. Why is this album all in English? Although I have to say, they sound very good. A hell of a lot better than Pretty Ricky, that’s for sure.
13. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #11)
FLOW falls two spots this week and I must say that I really am waiting for “Velonica” by Aqua Timez to become a single. I know it has nothing to do with FLOW but…I LOVE THAT SONG!
12. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #9, Two Weeks at #1)
You know, Andre 3000 needs a new album. There, I said it.
11. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #12)
HAMC move up one spot this week, just outside the Top 10. I am totally going to miss these guys. Breaking up is hard to do. Especially the getting back of your stuff.
10. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #6, One Week at #1)
We begin the Top 10 with John Legend and Andre Three Stacks. It has been a great return for John and his album just came out this week! Be sure to pick up “Revolver” from your local record audiotorium!
9. Yuna Ito – Miss You (Last Week #10)
The sexy fine Yuna Ito moves up a spot this week as I have to say….I want a new album from you. Right now. Also, what in the hell happened to May J? I miss my baby boo! Well, my other baby boo.
8. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #4)
It looks like UVERworld’s streak of not being able to take over the top spot will continue. They fall from the Top Five and I wonder when their new album comes out. They usually have one out at about this time and I AM SO FRICKING READY FOR IT!
7. Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Last Week #7)
Miss Keys stands pat at number seven this week as we move on. You know, I am really beginning to feel that Jack White/Alicia Keys song. I didn’t think I would but it has a Stevie Wonder feel to it to me.
6. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #8)
Miss Koda moves up another two spots this week for her highest charting video since….I think “Juicy?” Wait, “Get Up And Move!” got to number six last year, never mind. Moving on!
5. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Last Week #3)
After just pulling into the Top Three, the princess falls two spots this week! It has been a big year for Hyori, and I wonder what her next video will be. Hopefully, it will be hot.
4. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #1, Three Weeks at #1)
NOOOOOO! After three big weeks at number one, Hearts Grow walls four big spots! They had one of the best runs of the last few months as they attempted to top Bennie K’s seven weeks which is going to be hella hard. Either way, we have a new number one and it is one of these last three videos!
3. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #15, Biggest Mover)
Kanye has just made the biggest move in Countdown history. Kanye moves a ridiculous TWELVE SPOTS this week into the Top Three! I care not what you say, I love this song and this video is different. Weird, but different. I am kind of excited to see what he does with “808’s & Heartbreak” because I like what I have heard so far.
2. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #2)
T.I. holds on to the runner up spot this week! With a new video debuting which gives him four videos in a three month span, T.I. is making a push for Artist of the Year. Although I still don’t know what a Shawty Lo is, this video is simple awesomeness. And the song is where it is at. However, with T.I. at number two, it means that he was passed over by our new number one!
1. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #5, One Week at #1)
The Wonder Girls are back! For the second time in the last three months, these young ladies take over the top spot! Hate all you want, their last two singles have been catchy as hell and the videos have been quite nice. Too bad they equal jailtime. That is a conundrum. Even still, they are back on top!
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if the Wonder Girls can make it two weeks at number one? Or will T.I. take back his crown for the second time this year? Or can Kanye continue his dominance and take over the top for a RECORD SIXTH number one video? See you in seven!
Well, Happy Halloween everybody! I am not a huge holiday guy (As a matter of fact, I hate them all for the most part) but if you celebrate it, knock yourself out. The Chachi Video Awards are this Sunday, so stay tuned on Sunday night for the winners! Until then, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out!
Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

Rain is a bad boy and he is back! I must say I am all about this video right now, even more than I am about “Love Story” and that is my slow jam right there. Rain is back to dancing and while it isn’t as awesome dance-wise as “I’m Coming” it was still great. More Bi is best!
19. Game feat. Lil Wayne – My Life (Last Week #16)
Looks like Game is spending his last week on the Countdown this week after a great summer and fall. I wonder what he has up next.
18. T.I. feat Rihanna – Live Your Life (New Entry)
Yeah, you know it. The more TI we have on this planet the better off we will be. Also, big ups to TI for going out and voting before he gets sentenced. If a man that is about to go to jail can go out and vote, so can you! Arrogant punks.
17. Boa – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #19)
You know, I really just want a Korean version of this song. I mean I loves me some Boa but damn it the US version of the video sucks and the pacing of translation is not my cup of tea. But it is Boa so….GIMME MOAR!
16. Rain (Bi) – Love Story (Last Week #17)
Man, now that I know the lyrics to this song, this is going on the late night mix CD. This and “Move On” are two of his best songs yet.
15. NERD feat Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pusha-T – Everybody Nose (Remix) (Last Week #13)
So um….I am not going to get a CRS album this year, am I? Yeah, I thought so….jackass.
14. Big Bang – Number 1 (Last Week #14)
Big Bang stands pat at number 14 this week as we move along. Why is this album all in English? Although I have to say, they sound very good. A hell of a lot better than Pretty Ricky, that’s for sure.
13. FLOW – WORLD END (Last Week #11)
FLOW falls two spots this week and I must say that I really am waiting for “Velonica” by Aqua Timez to become a single. I know it has nothing to do with FLOW but…I LOVE THAT SONG!
12. Fonzworth Bentley feat Andre 3000 & Kanye West – Everybody [Don’t Stop] (Last Week #9, Two Weeks at #1)
You know, Andre 3000 needs a new album. There, I said it.
11. HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR – Remember (Last Week #12)
HAMC move up one spot this week, just outside the Top 10. I am totally going to miss these guys. Breaking up is hard to do. Especially the getting back of your stuff.
10. John Legend feat Andre 3000 – Green Light (Last Week #6, One Week at #1)
We begin the Top 10 with John Legend and Andre Three Stacks. It has been a great return for John and his album just came out this week! Be sure to pick up “Revolver” from your local record audiotorium!
9. Yuna Ito – Miss You (Last Week #10)
The sexy fine Yuna Ito moves up a spot this week as I have to say….I want a new album from you. Right now. Also, what in the hell happened to May J? I miss my baby boo! Well, my other baby boo.
8. UVERworld – Koishikute (Last Week #4)
It looks like UVERworld’s streak of not being able to take over the top spot will continue. They fall from the Top Five and I wonder when their new album comes out. They usually have one out at about this time and I AM SO FRICKING READY FOR IT!
7. Alicia Keys - Superwoman (Last Week #7)
Miss Keys stands pat at number seven this week as we move on. You know, I am really beginning to feel that Jack White/Alicia Keys song. I didn’t think I would but it has a Stevie Wonder feel to it to me.
6. Kumi Koda – Taboo (Last Week #8)
Miss Koda moves up another two spots this week for her highest charting video since….I think “Juicy?” Wait, “Get Up And Move!” got to number six last year, never mind. Moving on!
5. Hyori Lee – Hey Mr. Big! (Last Week #3)
After just pulling into the Top Three, the princess falls two spots this week! It has been a big year for Hyori, and I wonder what her next video will be. Hopefully, it will be hot.
4. Hearts Grow – Sora (Last Week #1, Three Weeks at #1)
NOOOOOO! After three big weeks at number one, Hearts Grow walls four big spots! They had one of the best runs of the last few months as they attempted to top Bennie K’s seven weeks which is going to be hella hard. Either way, we have a new number one and it is one of these last three videos!
3. Kanye West – Love Lockdown (Last Week #15, Biggest Mover)
Kanye has just made the biggest move in Countdown history. Kanye moves a ridiculous TWELVE SPOTS this week into the Top Three! I care not what you say, I love this song and this video is different. Weird, but different. I am kind of excited to see what he does with “808’s & Heartbreak” because I like what I have heard so far.
2. T.I. – What Up, What’s Happening (Last Week #2)
T.I. holds on to the runner up spot this week! With a new video debuting which gives him four videos in a three month span, T.I. is making a push for Artist of the Year. Although I still don’t know what a Shawty Lo is, this video is simple awesomeness. And the song is where it is at. However, with T.I. at number two, it means that he was passed over by our new number one!
1. Wonder Girls - Nobody (Last Week #5, One Week at #1)
The Wonder Girls are back! For the second time in the last three months, these young ladies take over the top spot! Hate all you want, their last two singles have been catchy as hell and the videos have been quite nice. Too bad they equal jailtime. That is a conundrum. Even still, they are back on top!
That is all for this week! Tune in next Friday to see if the Wonder Girls can make it two weeks at number one? Or will T.I. take back his crown for the second time this year? Or can Kanye continue his dominance and take over the top for a RECORD SIXTH number one video? See you in seven!
Well, Happy Halloween everybody! I am not a huge holiday guy (As a matter of fact, I hate them all for the most part) but if you celebrate it, knock yourself out. The Chachi Video Awards are this Sunday, so stay tuned on Sunday night for the winners! Until then, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out!
