Formed in 1967, the rock group from England known as Genesis included original performers Phil Collins (vocalist, drums, and piano), Tony Banks (keyboardist), and Mike Rutherford (guitar and bass guitarist). Along the way other talent the likes of Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, and Anthony Phillips joined and played major roles in the band. The band known as Genesis is included in the top thirty highest selling artists who record of all time. Both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel have had tremendous success as solo performers along the way. In 2010 the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The music videos performed by the group have been many and proved to be a success each and every time. Look for recent releases like Genesis Land of Confusion, Hold on to My Heart, and That's All or older classic videos such as Jesus He Knows Me, Neon Genesis, and Dancing With the Moonlit Knight. It always helps to have a great music video available to promote a new album or single and these guys have always had that covered. Here's a lot of talent in a one word titled band.

The 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards (CMA) is a yearly event that recognizes outstanding achievements in the country music industry.

For many years now Karaoke night has been hugely popular in local pubs and bars around the globe. Local talent (and some not so talented) only need to get up the nerve and climb on stage then perform. Sing along with popular music no matter if that tune is matched or not and just have fun for fun's sake! That's what Karaoke is all about and why it is proving to be a huge hit on televisions across the USA currently. The host of Karaoke USA is Joey Fatone, a very charismatic guy seen previously in films like My Big Fat Greek Wedding and ABC TV's Dancing With the Stars. Judges include Carnie Wilson (singing group Wilson Phillips), Joe Levy (chief editor of Maxim Magazine), and Brian Scott (restaurateur, songwriter, singer, and himself a champion Karaoke singer). And the stars of the show, some really talented singers who just want to be heard and appreciated, which they now are. This show is every bit as entertaining as spending the evening in a smoky bar and the acoustics may even be better on your TV at home.

Watching CeCe Jones and Rocky Blue fulfilling their dream of becoming dancers shows the rest of us that all things are possible. The two girls get the opportunity to become background dancers in the locally presented show Shake It Up, Chicago and begin on an adventure filled with misadventures, troubles, and plenty of fun along the way. A buddy and dance concept has been used previously by Disney (Sonny With A Chance & The Famous Jett Jackson), and this time around it's about dreams coming true. Family trials and tribulation are included as well as competition among siblings. The series even spun off an album titled Shake It Up: Break It Down with the title song performed by Selena Gomez. Stars include 14 year old Bella Thorne as CeCe Jones (Forget Me Not, Craw Lake), 15 year old Zendaya Coleman (Kidz Bop "˜Hot n Cold') as Rocky Blue, and Adam Irigoyen as the girls best buddy, Deuce Martinez. Also starring are Roshon Fegen, Caroline Sunshine, Kenton Duty, and Davis Cleveland. Great music and enjoyable dancing make this Disney Channel series well worth watching!

For an American rock band from LA this is a group that stands out due to talent and showmanship. The music video is an excellent way to showcase talented musicians and entertainers and has been since the beginning of the concept brought out by MTV back in August of 1981. Videos made by 30 Seconds to Mars have been successful at the awards programs and they proved that by winning the MTV2 Award for their "The Kill" video in 2006. Their "A Beautiful Lie" became certified platinum as it sold well over one million albums on CD. As a talented group the members of 30 Seconds to Mars include Jared Leto, himself an actor as well as lead vocalist, song writer, and rhythm guitarist, his brother Shannon Leto who plays drums, and Tomo Milicevic a keyboardist and lead guitar. Music videos look easy to make but most are actually mini movies that take time and money to create and the results will often be an excellent method of introducing new albums and singles that can play for years when successful. This band has proven they have staying power as well as talent.
