Miley Cyrus sparked a firestorm of controversy when
she appeared nude while riding an oversized
wrecking ball in the video for her single “Wrecking
Ball,” but many forget that artists stripping down for
their music videos isn’t a new occurrence. Many have
come before young Miley and many will come after…
not that we’re condoning such actions. We’re just
amazed at the level of confidence these folks have
with their bodies. That’s gotta stand for something,
right?

Miley’s been living the wild life lately, particularly
after her twerk-filled performance at the 2013 VMAs.
Shortly after the controversial on-stage romp, the
soon-to-be 21-year-old decided to strip down for the music video to her single “Wrecking Ball” released in September . During the video she’s seen swinging
around unclothed riding on well…a wrecking ball
while singing. It wasn’t the first time she was seen in shocking attire (or lack thereof), and likely won’t be the last.

Video: California Gurls
Colorful pop sensation Katy Perry decided to take a
trip to Candyland for her 2010 chart-topping hit
“California Gurls,” but this isn’t the Candyland from
your childhood. A carefree Katy is seen in the video
lying on her stomach sans clothes atop a cloud of
cotton candy with nothing but a bit of pink fluff
covering her bare bottom and chest.

Video: Stay
Rihanna, while no stranger to being raunchy in her
performances and videos, surprisingly took a much
more tasteful route when she decided to bare it all in
the video for her 2013 ballad “Stay,” featuring Mikky
Ekko . The singer is shown lying in a bathtub full of
water throughout the entire piece, obviously
unclothed but not in a provocative manner.The video
is poignant and dramatic, a refreshing departure for
the typically hyper-sexualized star.She also went bare
for her colossal number one hit “Umbrella” in 2007,
but her body was coated in silver paint and cleverly
positioned to cover herself.

Video: Down for Whatever
Kelly Rowland stripped down to nothing but a pair of
shoes for her 2011 song electro-pop tune “Down For
Whatever .” At various points of the video she’s
standing on a platform in heels and nothing else, but
thanks to clever lighting and camera effects, you can’t
see the full monty.

Video: Bad Romance
At this point, Lady Gaga’s provocative antics aren’t
really shocking. Nudity in particular shouldn’t be too
much of a surprise. Gaga first went nude for her
2009 music video for “Bad Romance .” Then she did
again for “LoveGame” that same year… and again for
“Telephone” in 2010, and “Marry the Night” a year
later.. and… you get the point.

Video: Womanizer
With her first No.1 hit since 1999’s “Baby One More
Time,” Britney Spears blazed through the charts with
her hot single “Womanizer” in 2008. Things got pretty
hot in the video too, as an unclothed Spears can be
seen lying down in a sauna throughout the video,
using her hands and legs to cover her lady parts. She
eventually stripped down again in 2011 for the music
video for her single “Criminal.”

Video: So What
The always-edgy Pink sought to make a statement in
the video for her 2008 hit “So What .” The song is
inspired by the breakdown of her marriage to Carey
Hart and the video features a drunk and angry Pink
acting out in various situations. In the middle of the
video, she strips down to her birthday suit on the red
carpet in front of the paparazzi and starts doing
playful choreography. Censor bars present, of course.

Video: What’s My Age Again?
Punk band Blink-182 took to the streets of LA in the
video for their 1999 single “What’s My Age Again?”
only… without clothes. The entirety of the video
depicts the band streaking through the city, much to
the shock and humor of most of the neighborhood.
In reality, they were actually wearing skin colored
underwear for the majority of the video but the
shock value is pretty much still there, regardless.

Video: Window Seat
Erykah Badu, went nude for her 2010 soul ballad
“Window Seat .” In the video the neo-soul singer is
seen walking down the street while disrobing in
Dealey Plaza in Texas, the site of president John F.
Kennedy’s assassination. At the end of the video Badu
is apparently shot in the head by an unknown shooter
just after removing her underwear, possibly
attempting to mirror Kennedy’s killing. As her body
lay on the ground blue paint spills from her head,
forming the word “Groupthink” as the singer narrates
a poetic voiceover. The video was inevitably subject
to much controversy and Badu was charged with
disorderly conduct for public nudity, was forced to
pay a $500 fine, and served 6 months of probation.

Video: Rock DJ
Some guys will do anything for attention, but this
might be a bit much. In Robbie Williams’ music video
for the 2000 single “Rock DJ” he strips every piece of
his clothing in an effort to get a female DJ’s
attention. When that doesn’t work, he starts stripping
off skin and organs until he’s nothing but a skeleton.
Hot. He eventually gets her attention as set of bare
bones at the end, and they dance together. Worth it…
we guess? The video ends with the message “No
Robbies were harmed during the making of this
video.” Whew!

Video: Thank U
While constantly giving thanks throughout her
appropriately named 1998 single “Thank U” Alanis
visits various parts of Los Angeles on a bus, inside a
grocery store, standing on the street, even standing
in the middle of the street, all while completely in
the buff with nothing but her extraordinarily long
hair covering her chest and a censor blurring out her
nether region.

Video: Untitled (How Does it Feel?)
D’Angelo’s 2000 neo-soul ballad “Untitled (How Does
it Feel?)” centers around a man trying to seduce the
woman he wants. In order to help get the point
across, the entire music video for the song consist of
D’Angelo’s nude body being shot from the torso up
while singing the words to the song. There is a slight
glimpse of his pelvic bone and his lower back. The
video is sexually suggestive, becoming the subject of
controversy. It effectively solidified the soul singer’s
status as a sex symbol; however, it was later
revealed that this wasn’t D’Angelo’s intention or his
desire.He even took a leave of absence from the
music scene as a result.

Artiste:Seal
Video: Secret
What better way to express your love for one
another than share that love with the world through
music and video. Seal’s 2010 single “Secret” from his
album Commitment expresses that very love
between he and his now-ex wife Heidi Klum. The
black and white music video depicts Seal and Heidi
sharing intimacy in bed. Seal himself said that the
video was Heidi’s idea. Lucky man, or at least he was. [No picture]

Video: E r o t i c a
Being one of the most iconic and provocative music
artists in the industry, it should be no surprise to see
Madonna wrap up this list. The music video for her
hit “E r o t i c a” back in 1992 remains shocking and
controversial to this day. As possibly one of the most
memorable instances of an artist baring everything in
a music video, the video has both a censored and an
uncensored version. The latter contains graphic
sexual acts and full frontal nudity of the singer
herself inter-cut with shots of her as a masked
dominatrix. The video was banned from MTV after
being aired a total of three times. The song is on the
album of the same title which Madonna released in
conjunction with her coffee table book entitled S E X.
The salacious video features Footage from the actual
making of the SEX book and includes cameos from
Naomi Campbell and Bid Daddy Kane amongst
others.

Artiste: Maheeda
Song: Naija Bad Girl
The nigerian born singer Maheeda popularly known as goddess of X does everything to attract her fans..she went viral in her first video Naija bad girl and claims her husband loves it that way and enjoys watching her videos,she equally claimed she enjoys what she is doing.
