Oh the glamour of being a pop star; the gigs, the signings, the music videos. With teams of make-up artists and stylists behind them, these artists look amazing in their videos, ready to boogie on down, strut their stuff and look generally aesthetically pleasing. But we got a little bored of just watching these musical kings and queens horsing around with a microphone, so took to playing a round of our favourite game: stop and start with the pause button on YouTube.
Much to our delight, it unveiled quite a different look for some of these stars; let’s just say we’d un-tag ourselves if any of these bad boys were ever put on Facebook.
Take a look at our favourite unfortunate screen shots from music videos below:
#1 Oh Miley, maybe next time you should study Sinead’s video a bit better; we’re not sure she let herself get caught looking gormless-chic like this in ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’.
Â
Â
#2 Two fifths of The Wanted here; the (potentially electrocuted) chicken and the egg.
Â
#3 We always knew Jessie J was the feisty type, but this takes seduction to another level.
Â
Â
#4 Katy Perry: the dirty man’s Dora The Explorer.
Â
Â
#5 Rihanna knows there’s nothing classier than a bit of side boob and a lot of attitude. Mhhhhhmm.
Â
Â
#6 We must commend Zayn here on having perfected his impression of Cruella DeVil when she’s just found out all the puppies have escaped.
Â
#7 This screen shot probably shouldn’t feature on this list, we’re pretty sure this is just a casual Monday morning look for Lady Gaga.
Â
Â
#8 Cher Lloyd and her infamous snarl. We’ve screenshotted it just so you can analyse it and stare in disbelief at the fact that, yes, this is her signature move. Eugh.4
