John Legend [ft. Andre 3000]"Green Light"
Director: Alan Ferguson
Even if John Legend's "party dancing" is stilted and guest star Andre 3000 steals this video before he even starts rapping, we're going to give the crooner credit for trying to break with his quiet storm, instant-Grammy rep with "Green Light." The song doesn't twinkle, it moves. And so does Legend, who tries out for the Life of the Party role here. Naturally, Andre is better suited for the part, and it's only when he takes the spotlight that this clip gets interesting, turning into a Busby Berkeley dance number inside a Martini glass. "Even Stevie Wonder got down sometimes," says Dre, encouraging his stiff buddy. Key detail: While Legend leaves the party in a cherry red convertible, Andre rolls away on a bicycle. Green!
