Video

Video clips and films that I find for you and tell you what it contains before you even watch. There are lot of videos out there but most of them are useless - so don't waste your time finding the great ones. They are right here. Pick from the ones on this page or just follow the links to old clips. If you have a video that you want to post here, please contact us.

Video clip of juggler playing piano

We recently featured video clip of a magician performing some amazing tricks in Tokyo. The video below isn't a that of magician per se, but the guy clearly has talent. He is very good with juggling balls and instead of just throwing balls meaninglessly in the air, he uses them to play excellent music on a piano. You will be impressed.

Amazing magic tricks video clip from Japan

Japanese television, particularly during day time and late at night, can be bizarre in very unique and funny ways. Some of the most stupid acts are shown during the day while after 11 PM, there is literally no censoring of any kind even on network television.

One of the ways in which Japanese people entertain themselves is by using gaijins ("foreigners"). Recently they have been appearing on TV programs in many different roles.

In this particular video clip, a magician performs his amazing magic tricks. He speaks mostly Japanese but it shouldn't matter. Enjoy the magic filmed at a bar in the Roppongi district of Tokyo - one of the hottest places there for nightclubs, bars, and restaurants.

David Hasselhoff video clip asking you to go home with him

Lip-synching is great provided the dancers compensate for it by dancing well, but it is always nice to watch another singer performing a popular song. For instance, how Marly performed You Never Know and Alizee performed La Isla Bonita.

That is why this rendering of "Jump in my car" by David Hasselhoff is so remarkable. Those of you who heard the original song in 1975 (performed by Ted Mulry Gang) must recall that it requires a lot of talent and class to pull it off and David has it. The song was recorded by David in Sydney with Harry Wanda. Plus, what you will truly enjoy are the pretty women he is propositioning to go home with him.

Tommy Seabach video clip of Apache by Shadows

Lip synching can actually be quite good sometimes. Take a look at the video clips that we have posted previously. (Bollywood dancing, and Paula Abdul's Cold Hearted Snake)

Similarly, playing a song from another band can come out pretty good when performed by another artist. We have some really good collection of videos fitting that profile. (Like a Virgin, You Never Know by Marly, and La Isla Bonita)

In the same vein, take a look at this performance by the Danish band Tommy Seebach Band playing Apache by the Shadows. And while you enjoy the music, there is some eye candy too - women in bikinis frolicking on the grass as they beaded sarongs leave little for imagination.

Video clip of Marly perfomring You Never Know

The movie "You Never Know" is about a straight guy who kisses his best friend on the lips on the night before his wedding and then starts to wonder if he really should get married to a woman. This video clip (performed by Marly) has some great music and tons of gorgeous women in bikinis on the beach. And if you did not know who Marly is; well, she is a pop singer from Denmark and is becoming very popular right now worldwide.

Animated video clip of Hips Dont Lie

Roberto Aguilar decided to combine his favorite video game character with the bellydancing Shakira! In using the dance sequence from the popular song, "Hips don't lie," this clip shows how people can let their imagination run wild with what is already available out there, and that is when you realize that some of the copyright laws might be so out of date in today's world.

Video clip of a modeling photo shoot

When we see a picture in a magazine or watch a music video, we often fail to realize that a modeling photo shoot is a long process with a huge team of people. While some are there to help with the logistics (lights, sets, props, camera, etc.), others are involved with makeup and clothes, and of course, there are always people to take care of the models (who have their huge egos with then whenever they pose for photos).

So what really goes during a photo shoot? Well, it isn't as bad as it sounds. You get to work with some of the hottest people on the planet and see them up, close, and personal. Check this video out and see for yourself what happens.

Video clip of dances at an Indian wedding

While arranged marriages may be the norm in India, it does not mean that their weddings are any less fun. Actually, weddings in India are multi-day affairs with lots of signing and dancing (often inspired by Bollywood movies - in which the actors almost always lip synch). Contrary to expectations both Indian men and Indian women are great dancers though it seems that they tend to also imitate the moves of their favorite Bollywood stars.

The following video clip shows some excellent dancing (something that is quite different from say, salsa or bellydancing) that is often part of a Hindu wedding. It reminded me of a movie called Monsoon Wedding, particularly a dance number by Neha Dubey.

Video clips of Microsoft Windows XP commercial

The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Microsoft employees is a bunch of geeks (with thick glasses) tapping the keys on their keyboards without ever seeing the sun. Well, assumptions can be wrong. Looks like once in a while, even Microsoft employees know how to tap into their wilder side and just enjoy what the rest of us do every single day.

This video clip was supposedly an advertisement for Windows XP but as you will see, it fits the criteria "Too hot for TV." So enjoy this clip and go order a PC with Windows XP - it works (better than Windows 98 - in which the bra clasp would open too often, even when not prompted).

Video clip of Lulu Sabongi

Let us go back to bellydancing today. Some of the other bellydancers that we have featured include that of a Lebanese bellydancer and then there is one in which there is unique combination of whale tail and bellydancing. This time, we feature Lulu Sabongi, an Arabic-style belly dancer from Brazil. She performed for this video in her own dancing school called "O Harem."

Video clip Cold Hearted Snake by Paula Abdul

Yesterday, we featured Gina performing Like a Virgin by Madonna. Well, Gina is back. This time she performs Cold Hearted Snake (a song by now American Idol Judge Paula Abdul). Like last time, Gina knows how to dress. You will see her in a black bra top and baby blue mini skirt with shoes that you should buy for yourself. There is a short glitch at the beginning so just be patient for a few seconds and then the video clip plays great.

Madonna Like a virgin video clip

There is absolutely no doubt that Madonna is not only one of the best singers that we have had, but also a great dancer. At this age, she looks great, thanks to her rigorous fitness routine. So can anyone imitate her? Well, we featured an excellent video clip of Alizee singing and dancing to La Isla Bonita.

In this clip, take a look at Gina who lip synchs "Like a virgin." Wearing a white cami with matching thongs and performing the routine on her bed - well, not the perfect location to do a dance number like that, but definitely worth watching. And don't get discouraged by a few seconds of sound problem - the music will come on.

Lebanese bellydance video clip

Bellydancing is a popular theme for videos and earlier we featured a group of bellydancers at their best. The interesting part of the previous clip was that while some dancers were clad in traditional bellydance costumes, others chose to dress, for example, in low rise jeans, complete with a whale tail. In this clip of a Lebanese bellydancer, all you will get to see is pure and simply beautiful bellydancing, as it has always been.

Yesenia Peralta video clip of salsa dace

Many of you liked the video of Yesenia Peralta at her best in salsa. She is also sometimes referred to as the The Jennifer Lopez of Salsa. In this clip she is wearing a gorgeous red outfit and performs with her partner Franklin at the L.A. Salsa Congress. Don't be discouraged by some interruptions in the beginning - once you get through that, then all you see is top class salsa dancing.
