Much Music - Big One -> Underneath it all
New Videos for the week of July 26 - August 2

NO DOUBT - "UNDERNEATH IT ALL"
(The Big One)
The latest single from No Doubt’s Rock Steady album is "Underneath It All." Singer Gwen Stephani’s "most talented friend,"aas she refers to her, Sophie Muller, tackled the video’s direction - along with a directing team named Logan who helped with the special effects. The singer says the song had special meaning to her, not only because it was co-written by an idol of hers, Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, but also because it captured what she describes as "a precious time of love, understanding, and realization" - referring to her relationship with her soon-to-be husband, Gavin Rossdale of Bush. Explaining the video’s concept, Gwen said, "it starts out with me totally made up with loads of makeup and hairdos, clothes, etc, and I slowly strip it away to a natural no-makeup vibe: underneath it all...get it?" However, the over-use of Gwen in the video has been criticized by many No Doubt fans who claim they are fans of the whole group, not just the singer.

Other new videos :
SHAKIRA - "OBJECTION (TANGO)"
MOBY - "EXTREME WAYS"
BBMAK - "OUT OF MY HEART"
SAM ROBERTS - "BROTHER DOWN"

We as No Doubt fans are mentioned too in the review. See the part where the underline is.

MTV BECOMING PRESENTS WANNABE'S
MTV Wants You!

MTV is currently searching for three fans to be showcased on a new MTV series based upon their original hit series "Becoming". The new show is called "Becoming Presents : Wannabe", and basically, it gives an ordinary person with average singing abilities a chance to emulate and become a mega superstar, atleast for the day.

Becoming Presents: Wannabe Gwen Stefani
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A GREAT SINGER OR EVEN LOOK LIKE THE ARTIST TO TRYOUT!
There's no lip-syncing in this NEW MTV show. It is for fans who can SING and wanna do it LIVE on MTV AS their favorite artist. with their own slammin' professional MTV back-up dancers, Star-Sized Concert Lighting, and a mad-crazy Screaming Audience

MTV's "Becoming Presents: Wannabe"
All you have to do at the tryout is sing, with the actual CD, the chorus of one song listed beside the artist you wanna be . MTV doesn't care about how well you can sing... but how well you turn it out with a big energy performance and style for the judges watching you. Anyone can be made-over to look like a star. The real test...is if they can act like a super star. If you get picked, MTV's gonna give you a star sized stage, and a chance to prove you got what it takes to REALLY become an MTV Artist. Currently MTV is searching for 3 fans who want to become Gwen Stefani
