She Wolf music video by Shakira
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aEW_Z5Va5s
This video has potential for my rhetoric analysis because it has a general theme. It is straight forward on who it is targeted to. The message is clear and constant throughout the video. The video is very provocative. A problem with this video is that fact that there are not many scene changes throughout the video and it mainly focuses on Shakira the whole time.
Down by Jay Sean

I think that this would be a good video to use because there are many different ideas being portrayed. For example, partying, dancing, the male ultra ego, shinny rings, and the females in scandalous clothing. I feel it would be easy to say the age group that the video is aimed toward. Some draw backs to this video is that it is very similar to other music videos in a sense that it is trying to show what is “cool.” It also may be hard because there are a lot of different scenes in the video.
Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svxP2LjBg_4&feature=channel
This video is very powerful. It is clear that it is aimed to women who have been hurt by men. Any age could apply to this video but I would say mostly girls in their teens and above. Maybe not the older, grandmother crowd. I think this video would be good because it is very emotional and also engages the viewer nicely. A problem with this video is the credibility in it.

It sounds as though the Kelly Clarkson or the Jay Sean videos might work well. Why do you say that the Clarkson video has a credibility problem? You don’t believe her as a performer? It’s up to you which one you choose–but you wrote more about the Jay Sean video, so that might say something….
