Likely Looks: Oasis - Falling Down

Oasis has a good swipe at the Royal Family on the latest video for "Falling Down".

Directed by WIZ, the clip shows a fake royal princess being completely snubbed by the band at an event that they are both attending. She goes to shake their hands and gets well...nothing but a stare.

They've even managed to throw in a little bit of real life too with Prince Charles being spliced into the mix at the end.

Florence and the Machines Hearts Kelly Clarkson

Florence and the Machine teamed up with Mark Ronson at the Diesel U:Music Studios to do a lovely cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone". Florence of course adds an absolutely lovely set of pipes to her take on the pop classic.
