Her second 2014 music video "Go Time"(for Justice girls clothing) is just plain fun!
Keep an eye out for the music video of "Think Of Me". It won't be set in the Phantom's Opera House.

Jackie's latest, a cover of "Safe and Sound" features Jackie in "Hunger Games" mode and includes Jackie's little sister Rachel. Beautifully sung and produced.

My favs are Bad Girl, Take a Bow, Die Another Day, La Isla Bonita, The Power of Good-Bye, Like A Prayer, Express Yourself, Papa Don't Preach, Sorry, Hung Up, Bedtime Story, Vogue and Frozen

No contest here. Madonna was a pioneer in this field. She helped make the music video industry what it is today. Even now, her videos continue to be of the best around. She truly understands what a music video should be.

Christina does not get the recognition she deserves for her music videos. I mean "Ain't No Other Man" and "Hurt" are both fantastic pieces of art. People are so mesmerized by her singing that they don't always notice the incredible detail that goes into her videos.

One of the kind iconic music video of all time is Candyman behind Justify My Love and Thriller and before Firework
