Watch Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" Pop Up Video after the jump!

Instead of just relishing in Kelly's H.A.M. revenge sesh, we get personal with our favorite "American Idol" alum. Very personal: We learn that she gave up deodorant for a while (don't worry, she's back on it now), and she doesn't wear underwear (!!!). We also find out that Kelly's favorite scent is vanilla, and she even has a slight fear of kissing. But you know, so what? Honestly, even if we found out Kelly made voodoo dolls from various people's hair and used them to cast spells, we wouldn't care. She's Kelly Clarkson. Nothing will make us not like her.

+ Watch Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone (Pop Up Video)," and don't miss "Pop Up Video" on VH1, Wednesdays at noon and 12:30 p.m. ET.

Watch Steve Aoki spin live tonight from NYC

Consider this your one invite to a cool-ass party that DJ Steve Aoki is spinning at because let's be honest, those are a little exclusive nowadays. MTV Hive is livestreaming the bottle-poppin' DJ's set from NYC's Roseland Ballroom tonight! (Well, technically really early tomorrow --12:30 a.m.) Crunk king Lil Jon will make an appearance (!!!), and look out for a "few more surprise guests." (Fingers tripled crossed for Alana "Honey Boo Boo Child" Thompson.)

Aoki will likely spin some fresh jams from his latest album Wonderland, and I'll continue to marvel at the fact that being a DJ is actually a viable profession that pays way more money than I'll ever earn.

+ Watch Steve Aoki's live performance from NYC's Roseland Ballroom (tonight/ tomorrow) Saturday, Feb. 18 at 12:30 a.m. over at MTV Hive.

Katy Perry and Richard Marx

Not even sure I can wrap my brain around this one, guys -- we just received word that Richard Marx, the genius who penned the late '80s hit "Right Here Waiting," covered Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away." I think this is literally what a teenage dream feels like.

Richard stopped by VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" to debut his cover and explained: "You know, I'm just sitting listening to my iPod and I love the last Katy Perry CD... I loved the production but I heard this other really heartbreakingly beautiful song inside of ['The One That Got Away']. So I was really bored that day and I went in my studio and made an acoustic version." Boredom breeds genius, y'all!

Watch Richard Marx cover Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away" after the jump!

Marx's version is sweet, soft, and vaguely reminiscent of Katy Perry's own acoustic rendition of the song. Set to a backing track with lush strings, Richard accompanied himself using only a guitar and his vocals. Speaking of vocals, time has not touched the incredible pipes of Richard Marx! In fact, it's possible that his now seasoned vocals have improved with age. Like a fine, fine wine, my friends.

I don't know what you guys like to do on Sundays but to prepare for my work week, I listen to hardcore hip-hop while I pump iron in my room. By "pump iron" I mean "eat chips and salsa." So this Sunday I'll definitely have MTV2 on during their ALL HIP-HOP EVERYTHING line-up starting at 10 p.m. Check it:

At 10 p.m., check out MTV2's all new "Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts," which will highlight three -- wait for it -- classic rap cuts, one of them being N.W.A.'s groundbreaking "Straight Outta Compton." Immediately after at 10:30 p.m., "The Hottest MCs In The Game VII" will reveal MCs 5 through 1. (The anticipation!) Then stay tuned at 11 p.m. for a new "Sucker Free Certified," the show that introduces you to some of the biggest names in hip-hop that you might not know yet. What did I say: ALL HIP-HOP EVERYTHING.

+ Watch MTV2 this Sunday, Feb. 19 beginning at 10 p.m. ET for a brand new "Yo! MTV Raps Classic Cuts," find out who the top 5 MCs are on "The Hottest MCs In The Game VII" at 10:30, and don't miss "Sucker Free Certified" at 11. Check out a sneak peek of Sunday's "Classic Cuts" below.

You know that special time when you've had a little too much wine sparkling grape juice and your cab driver's head suddenly looks like it's the head of a giant animal? Yeah, well that's happening to Chris Brown times like, 100 in his new video for "Turn Up the Music," which is also his directorial debut. Whatever your personal opinions are on Chris Brown, you can't deny that the dude consistently puts out records that are catchy as hell. "Turn Up The Music" is about as club-ready as a song can get, and the video is prime for repeat viewings, too.

After getting into a magical cab, Chris' driver turns into a horse and calls his other friends from the animal kingdom to get outta bed and dance in the street. After Chris realizes these are friendly animals (who are also professional dancers), he joins in the fun and breaks out into his most badass dance moves in the middle of the sidewalk.

Watch Chris Brown's "Turn Up The Music" video after the jump.

The consummate party animal, Chris finds his way to the hottest club in town filled with masked creatures. Chris pauses so he can complete a quick, shirtless dance breakdown (obvs) but not before he finds himself dancing alone in a rainy warehouse. And yes, in case you weren't sure, Chris Brown can make it rain indoors.

Sorry, but is there anything cuter than an IRL couple literally making sweet, sweet music together? Right, didn't think so. Rumor has it that Malibu-based pop-folk duo (and couple) Brandon And Leah have been making music together since their high school days and today, we've got the premiere of their new video, "Life Happens." You've come a long way, babies.

We should mention that "Brandon" is actually Brandon Jenner, son of Bruce Jenner and stepbrother to the entire Kardashian clan. And "Leah" is Leah Felder, daughter of guitarist Don Felder of Eagles fame. So yes, they're a super-attractive power couple making great records together. That's honestly just really unfair to the rest of us.

"Life Happens" is a cheeky, laid-back and sweet pop song with a vibe reminiscent of Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz. Vocally, Leah's sunny sound reminds us a bit of Colbie Caillat mixed with the sass of Karmin's Amy Heidemann: "We should be laughing/We should be kissing/We should be here right now/Life happens/While you're making other plans.../You'll be kicking it in the shade/And you're thinking you got it made/Life is gonna happen to you anyway."

Watch Brandon And Leah's "Life Happens" video after the jump.

In the video, Brandon And Leah do supercute coupley things -- riding bikes together, frolicking on the beach, surfing and baking a homemade cake. They even pick fresh fruit from an orchard. Romance! As the video goes on, you quickly realize that you're in the presence of what is quite possibly the happiest couple on Earth... and then you dump your mediocre boyfriend immediately.

The latest from Yuna's not a T.I./Rihanna cover (sad face!), but it's the next best thing: a soft-spoken, sophisticated track perfect for wandering downtown or lounging at some brand-new boutique hotel. The "Live Your Life" video finds the Malaysian singer apparently doing both, staring out a skyscraper window in beautiful soft focus and smiling her way through sun-kissed city streets before taking an intimate stage. Girl is classy.

Watch Yuna's "Live Your Life" video after the jump.

The song's as pretty as the footage: Its lively, bongo-driven rhythm section is balanced by a backward string sample and Yuna's calm, breathy vocals. It sounds sort of like Dido, if she was really into guided meditation. (We totally did yoga this week!) More positivity-minded than Yuna's mystery-boyfriend track "Someone Out of Town," "Live Your Life" is about doing just that: "Find your life, don't hide from what you are," she sings in a scene right out of the next J. Crew catalog.

Pretty easy to say when the life you're not hiding from is making rad songs and looking cute, but hey, we'll take her advice. One more thing not to hide from: this video, duh. Live it up with Yuna below.

Chicago punks Rise Against are rocking for a good cause

Before he was writing lyrics about Alicia Keys and showing up in Victoria's Secret commercials, Bob Dylan was the ultimate protest singer -- so it's good to hear Rise Against apply their punk fury up to the legendary songwriter's "The Ballad of Hollis Brown." Their new video for the cover is the latest from Amnesty International's Dylan tribute, Chimes of Freedom, which includes everyone from Miley Cyrus and Adele to Ziggy Marley and My Morning Jacket. (In case you don't already know, Miley killed it. Respect.) It's for a good cause, so don't BitTorrent that ish!

Watch Rise Against's "The Ballad Of Hollis Brown" video after the jump.

It's not the first time we've seen the Chicago band help out a cause (the good-hearted group has also done work with the It Gets Better Project), but Rise Against's somber documentary-style video will still make you want to run immediately to the nearest volunteer center. Between blistering performance footage, it offers a laundry list of scary stats about American poverty and the struggles of agricultural workers set against images and quotes from real people trying to make an honest living.

It's a subject worth getting angry about -- luckily, enough adorbs farm animals keep you from throwing your laptop out the window. Deep breath! Be grateful, y'all. Then go ahead and rock out: The band goes H.A.M. on this one. It's the first new music we've heard from Rise Above since January 2011's Endgame, but we're already itching for more. Not to mention more Dylan covers, which Amnesty International's got covered: The four-disc (!) Chimes of Freedom is out now. Treat yo self.
