Enrique Iglesias | "Hero" (Video)

Enrique Iglesias (born on May 8, 1975 in Madrid), is a Spanish singer has sold over 60 million records worldwide. "Hero" is the 1st single from his 2nd English album "Escape", topped the UK charts, and #1 in many other countries. He was asked to sing the song live at the benefit concert America: A Tribute to Heroes ten days after the September 11th attacks. It was Iglesias' first televised performance of the song.

The music video for "Hero" was directed by Joseph Kahn and features Iglesias as an honorable criminal hunted by his enemies, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays his love interest, while Mickey Rourke plays one of the men hunting him. The video follows a Bonnie and Clyde-esque plot with Iglesias and Hewitt running from their enemies in the desert. Finally, Iglesias' enemies track him down and confront him outside a church. The confrontation leads to Iglesias being floored by Rourke, before being struck with a baton. The video skips ahead where we see Iglesias and Hewitt in the rain surrounded by police cars. Iglesias clutches his torso, implying that he'd been shot. The video ends with Iglesias' death. However, it is assumed that the police caught Rourke.

Dixie Chicks | "Cowboy Take Me Away" (Video)

"Cowboy Take Me Away" is a country hit song from the Dixie Chicks' 5th album "Fly". It reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in February 2000.

The Dixie Chicks is a country music group, formed in 1989 in Dallas, presently comprises Martie Maguire, Emily Robison and lead singer Natalie Maines. The group have sold 30.5 million albums in the US, making them the best-selling female group in the country. The women also became well-known for their independent spirit and controversial comments on subjects such as war and politics.

The first scene of the music video shows a car stopping on a busy street, with Robison's high hot pink cowboy boot splashing through a puddle, and Maines waiting in a crowded elevator until reaching the top floor of an empty industrial-looking loft, joining the other two Chicks. The three begin singing the song and playing their instruments up there at the building-top in the center of a large city, resembling New York City. Gradually, the scene around them begins to slowly melt of forest floors and snow-covered mountains and the like appear, while the trio dance and sing. The city does not ever disappear entirely, but the point is made.
