MTV started broadcasting three decades ago in the USA and it marked the start the music video's ruling within the music industry. The first video ever played on MTV was 'Video Killed radio stations Star' by The Buggles. As MTV was broadcasting 24-hour-a-day music, music videos were needed to be produced. Consequently, music video started to play an important role in artists' careers. It's considered that even Madonna's career has been greatly influenced by her videos that presented an attractive, appealing look of the artist. Some specialists say that Madonna has been inspired through the image that the actress Greta Garbo has used in her silent movies. MTV may be highly controversial: some saw as the beginning of an amazing, new, fresh era in music, others considered it to mark no more true musical talent, as artists have been become more appreciated for his or her looks instead of their vocal abilities.

free online music - Nowadays, the music video is as essential as the song itself, sometimes even deciding the success of music or artist. Collections of music videos are being sold on tapes or DVDs. Music video's greatest fans are apparently watching them muted in order to enjoy their artistic value, as they consider it to be a new type of art. They take into account that a music video should be assessed based on its visual qualities rather than on the song quality. It seems that the music 'gurus', corporate managers, have realised the opportunity of using female sex-appeal in music videos, therefore this feature has been used excessively since it is more popular for the public.

MTV started even listing directors with video credits and this profession has become more and more popular. But it seems that most video directors don't specialise in this particular art form, they notice as being just a step on the way to directing a show. Many start directing videos or commercials, seeking the recognition to build an identity and to direct a film.
