Last week, Kanye West and Eminem released two equally powerful, albeit very different, music videos, for their singles "Power" and "Love the Way You Lie," respectively. And while Eminem relied on some heavyweight cameos from Megan Fox, Rihanna and Dominic Monaghan to tell his story, West relied on artistic visuals, created with the help of director Marco Brambilla, for what he described as a "painting."
"Those videos are very interesting, actually," "In My Head" singer and VMA nominee Jason Derulo told MTV News on Sunday at the Teen Choice Awards. "I watched the Kanye video and I thought that was very different to anything I've ever seen before. It's not actually a video. It's almost like a moving painting. I thought that was really cool."
Derulo's feelings on West's "Power" mirrored that of something the rapper himself tweeted last week when the video premiered: "IT'S NOT A VIDEO . . . IT'S A PAINTING!!!
So, with West's video acting as a visual mind trip, what did Derulo think of Em's darker, more cinematic video starring two of Hollywood's most recognizable faces and one of pop's most unique voices? Well, the ladies stood out the most for him. "I thought Rihanna looked great in the 'Lie' video," he praised. "Megan Fox looked awesome too. Eminem always does it."
