With hours left to vote, our 2012 championship game is shaping up to be one for the ages … polls close tonight at midnight ET! By James Montgomery Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Tokio Hotel’s Bill Kaulitz Photo: Getty Images At this point, we probably shouldn’t be surprised. After all, if anything, the 2012 Musical March Madness tournament has been a wild ride, with upsets aplenty, epic, scoreboard-busting shootouts galore and vitriolic back-and-forths between fans. So, it’s fitting that our championship matchup — which pits reigning champs Green Day against unstoppable juggernaut Tokio Hotel — would play out like this. In short, it’s incredibly close. And with just hours left to go in the voting (polls close tonight at midnight ET), it’s looking more and more like the 2012 title game is going to come right down to the wire. As if this whole thing could’ve ended any other way. Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Musical March Madness interactive bracket! We’ve been keeping the numbers secret — suspense! — and we’ll reveal the 2012 champion Wednesday (April 4) on MTVNews.com. But until then, let’s bring you up to speed on what’s already been a championship battle for the ages! Showing that they weren’t about to be intimidated by the defending champs, Tokio Hotel came out of the gates firing on all cylinders, leaping out to a commanding lead within hours of the polls opening Monday morning. Rattled, Green Day were forced to call a time-out, and after a fire-and-brimstone speech from head coach Billie Joe Armstrong — not to mention a full-court Facebook press — the East Bay boys showed their championship pedigree, closing the gap by the afternoon. And unlike the actual March Madness championship game, this one has been a rollercoaster ride ever since, with each band seizing — and subsequently losing — the lead. At their highest point, Tokio led by nearly 200,000 votes, while Green Day’s biggest advantage was less than 100,000. And in a matchup that’s seen nearly 3 million votes cast already, well, you get an idea of how close this thing has been. Right now, with hours left in the contest, it’s Tokio Hotel who hold the lead, and stand on the precipice of finally hoisting the MMM trophy. Of course, given that everyone makes a run in Musical March Madness, Green Day have once again surged to within striking distance … they’re not about to let their championship reign end without a fight. But can they complete the comeback? Or will Tokio Hotel take home their first-ever championship? We’re headed into the home-stretch, and, really, we have no idea. Then again, we wouldn’t have it any other way; MMM 2012 has been one for the ages, and the championship game is definitely only adding to its legacy. So, who’s it gonna be? Green Day or Tokio Hotel? Someone’s going to win the MMM championship tonight, and you determine who will reign supreme. Polls close tonight at midnight ET, so time is running out … vote now, or forever hold your peace. Vote for your favorite band, discuss and share on Facebook and Twitter in the MTV Musical March Madness interactive bracket! The 2012 Musical March Madness championship is coming down to the wire! Will Green Day repeat, or can Tokio Hotel finally win it all? Voting runs until midnight ET on Tuesday, April 3, so there’s still time to help determine the winner.

‘I think I’m going to be kind of playing myself, so hopefully it will be easy,’ ‘The Voice’ judge says of joining FX drama. By Jocelyn Vena Adam Levine Photo: Getty Images Adam Levine might be single again in real life, but he’s ready to play one of “the Lovers” on FX’s creep-tastic hit drama “American Horror Story.” The Maroon 5 frontman and “The Voice” judge has confirmed the part to E! News . “It is the truth,” Levine told Ryan Seacrest about the previously rumored role . “I mean, it’s pretty much happening. I think it’s happening. I don’t know how much I can divulge, because [series co-creator] Ryan [Murphy] is very under wraps. “It’s going to be fun. And I told [Ryan] I really didn’t know what I was doing, but he didn’t seem to really care,” Levine continued. “So I’m just going to go and try to [do] acting. I think I’m going to be kind of playing myself, so hopefully it will be easy.” Season two is set to premiere in October with returning season one favorites Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Lily Rabe. E! further reports that the new season might take place on the East Coast at a mental institution. Season one took place in Los Angeles with a troubled family moving into a new home, lovingly referred to as “Murder House” on the series because so many people were murdered in it. About Murphy, Levine said, “He’s really great. And I love the fact that he believes in me to throw me out there.” Given how often the guys appear shirtless on “American Horror Story” — and how famous Levine’s abs are — fans should probably expect Murphy to make the most of that aspect of his persona. The identity of the other “Lover” is top secret for now. Related Artists Adam Levine
Teams Blake and Christina hit the stage as audience voting begins on ‘The Voice.’ By John Mitchell Jesse Campbell on “The Voice” Photo: NBC After weeks of blind auditions and battle rounds, “The Voice” finally went live Monday night (April 2), with Teams Blake and Christina taking the stage. America now gets to vote on the best of the best, and the top three from each team will move on to the next round. Twenty-four contestants survived the blind auditions and brutal battle rounds to make it to the live shows, and now their fate lies in the hands of viewers, who will take over for judges/mentors Adam Levine , Christina Aguilera , Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green in deciding who continues on and who goes home. Entering the ring for Monday’s two-hour performance show (results will be broadcast live Tuesday night at 9 p.m. ET), the teams were as follows: Team Adam : Karla Davis, Katrina Parker, Kim Yarbrough, Mathai, Pip and Tony Luca Team Blake : Charlotte Sometimes, Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul, Jordis Unga, Naia Kete and RaeLynn Team Xtina : Ashley De La Rosa, Chris Mann, Jesse Campbell, Lindsey Pavao, Moses Stone and Sera Hill Team Cee Lo : Cheesa, Erin Martin, Jamar Rogers, James Massone, Juliet Simms and Tony Vincent Aguilera was looking great with a simpler style and a whole lot less hair, but the judge to watch on the fashion front was Cee Lo, who rocked a strange disco clown-meets-Elvis costume and shaggy ’70s wig. “There’s something a little different about you tonight,” Adam joked to the “Forget You” singer. Referring to the dashing Levine’s newly shaved head, Cee Lo said, “Adam cut his off, so I decided to grown mine out.” Now, on to the actual competition. First up was Team Blake’s Jermaine Paul. Paul made a big impression, entering from the back of the theater amid blinding lights before making his way to the stage, but Aguilera commented that the song Shelton gave him, Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer,” was an unconventional choice for the former Alicia Keys backup singer. “I didn’t see the connection with the song choice,” Aguilera said. “[But] you brought soul to it.” Shelton disagreed. “I think girls tend to like you singing that song a lot,” he said, to much screaming and applause. Team Christina’s Chris Mann was much more subdued when he hit the stage to sing “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” and his classically trained voice had all the judges swooning over his pitch-perfect delivery. “You really owned it,” Xtina said. “You made it your own.” Shelton gave his next contestant, 17-year-old Texan RaeLynn, a tall order: to turn “Wake Up Call” by “Voice” coach Levine’s own band Maroon 5 into a country/rock song. “It is a risk taking a famous pop song and turning it country, but I think America’s going to like that,” RaeLynn said before stomping around the stage confidently in her cowboy boots and frilly dress. “You’re a sassy little thing,” Aguilera commented. “Are you allowed to grind your hips at your age like that?” Christina then called out what we already know: that there is a romance going on between Levine and Shelton . “You and the Maroon 5,” Aguilera joked about Shelton’s choice of Levine’s song. (We know, Christina! We know!) Moses Stone of Team Xtina was up next with a medley of Kanye West’s “Stronger”/”Power.” Backed by a fleet of dancers, the lone “Voice” rapper showed off his ability to move and stir up the audience. “I think you’re a natural onstage,” Cee Lo said. Adam agreed, saying, “There’s no doubt [that] you know how to entertain.” The performance was one of many that was pretty much professional level, including everything from backup dancers and flashy costumes to abundant lighting and a massive backing band/orchestra. Blake even (we assume inadvertently) complimented Aguilera when he said, “She’s already working for you,” while praising Stone’s singing voice. “You do it all,” Aguilera cheered, talking up Stone’s ability to sing, rap and perform choreography. In one of the rare occasions where a “Voice” coach recommended that one of his singers stay true to the way a song is performed on an album, Blake pushed street performer Naya Kete to stick to the original arrangement of “Turning Tables” as it was recorded by Adele. Aguilera unsurprisingly disagreed, and she and Shelton clashed. He thought Naya brought a lot of personality and tenderness to the song, while the “Beautiful” songbird wished Kete would have included more of her own jazz style to the performance. In the night’s strangest performance (fully dressed division), Aguilera paired raspy-voiced Lindsey Pavao with Gotye’s “Somebody I Used to Know,” and she brought, um, creepy burlesque dancers and clowns in masquerade masks onstage for her performance. Even with the strange distractions, the judges were listening closely, and Adam thought she was missing the power Gotye brought to the chorus. Her coach Christina was pleased, though, saying that every time she hears Paveo sing she thinks “Where is her record? I could listen to this girl all day.” Team Blake’s rocker Jordin Unga was strong and hit all the right notes in a memorable take on Heart’s difficult “Alone,” inspiring her coach to say, “I’m just so glad America has the chance to find out who you are.” That’s the thing about “The Voice” judges: They always know the perfect thing to say. (It must be the influence of smooth, newly single lady’s man Levine being on the panel.) For the night’s oddest performance (shirtless edition), enter Team Christina’s Sera Hill, who not only made Drake’s “Find Your Love” all her own (and practically unrecognizable) as a Mary J. Blige-like R&B slow jam, but also turned the stage into a Chippendale’s review (green lasers and all). “I know this was your idea,” Shelton told Aguilera of Hill’s studly backup dancers. (We know it too; she’s “Dirrty” and we like that about her.) “I was waiting for Christina to start stuffing some 1’s in those guys’ pants,” Blake continued. He didn’t have much to say about Hill’s actual performance, because “it’s hard to get past the male strippers onstage. … There were male strippers on the stage on ‘The Voice.’ ” For Team Blake’s Erin Willett performance, the stage was transformed into a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Willett started into her Stevie Wonder cover at the piano before joining the swinging dancers for a Broadway-like performance. Shelton called Willett’s performance the “best vocal performance of the night,” and even Aguilera had to begrudgingly agree. The next two performers took alternate routes to putting the best spin on their talents now that America is voting. Rocker Ashley De La Rosa chose to play it safe, sticking to her rocker-girl wheelhouse with “Right Through You” by Alanis Morrisette. And it worked for her: Levine called her “the most improved by far.” When Aguilera agreed, he joked, “We just got along,” stoking those rumors that Aguilera can be a little diva on set. Unlike De La Rosa, Charlotte Sometimes changed things up so the live audiences would get a chance to hear a different side of her unique voice than they had at this point in the competition. She chose to rearrange Paramore’s “Misery” to create a softer showcase to show that she can be a delicate singer as well as a fiery one. The night’s final performance was a fine (if very safe) one: jazzy crooner Jesse Campbell singing “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. “If someone from my team doesn’t win, I’m looking for you to win this,” Cee Lo told Campbell. Adam agreed that Campbell was “the one to beat.” But Aguilera must have been worried her “Moves Like Jagger” duet partner was going to turn negative, because the two ended the show in a (non) lovers spat, bickering back and forth as the credits rolled. Who do you think will get sent home on tomorrow’s results show? Let us know in the comments below! Related Artists Christina Aguilera Blake Shelton Cee Lo Green Adam Levine
‘I really feel like I outdid myself,’ Rick Ross’ buddy and artist tells Mixtape Daily of U.F.O. Vol. 2. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ade Mangum Torch Photo: MTV News Mixtape Daily Main Pick Mixtape : U.F.O. Vol. 2 Headliners : Torch, DJ Scream and DJ Swamp Izzo Representing : Bronx, New York Real Spit : Rick Ross ‘ Maybach Music Group is a multifaceted machine. While songs by MMG artists like Meek Mill, Wale and, of course, Rozay himself make dents on the Billboard charts, Maybach spitters like Torch have the streets covered. As an original member of the Bawse’s Maybach Empire, Torch has held his own on the mic, even if he sometimes doesn’t get the credit he feels he deserves. With his latest mixtape, U.F.O. Vol. 2, Torch aims to change all that. “When people hear ‘U.F.O.,’ they think aliens and stuff, but that’s far from what it means,” he told Mixtape Daily of his title. “It means Underestimated, Forgotten and Overlooked. It’s a sequel to Volume 1, which is already a certified classic by the streets.” With U.F.O. Vol. 2, Torch gives more than just rapper bravado. On the opening track, “Go Get It,” he hooks up with MMG singer Teedra Moses. Over a sampling of Lonnie Liston Smith’s “A Garden of Peace,” the same song Jay-Z sampled for his 1996 classic “Dead Presidents II,” Torch self-motivates. Reminiscing on dead and incarcerated friends, the brave-hearted lyricist keeps his eye on the multimillion-dollar rap prize. “I’m just trying not to let ’em down,” he raps. The Bronx spitter reimagines another rap classic on “Slowdown,” where he samples Lowell Fulson’s “Tramp,” more famously flipped on EPMD’s 1990 single “Rampage.” Rather than settle for a simple remake, Torch recruits Meek Mill, Wale, Gunplay, Stalley and Young Breed for an MMG all-star posse cut. Rick Ross shows up for “Grind-24,” and Masspike Miles chips in on “Thinking Out Loud.” Though every major player in the Maybach camp is accounted for, Torch doesn’t use his band of brothers as a crutch. So much of U.F.O. Vol. 2 showcases his solo talents. On “R.I.P.” the hungry rhyme slinger deads his competition, and with “Truth or Dare” Torch puts a conceptual spin on the childhood game. “I really feel like I outdid myself on this Volume 2, ” Torch boasts. We’d have to agree. Joints to Check For
After rocking mtvU’s Spring Break at the Palms in Las Vegas, Sean reveals his G.O.O.D. Music mentor’s bold prediction. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Big Sean at 2012 Spring Break Photo: David Becker/ Getty Images Big Sean ‘s bash at the Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas might have been his first mtvU Spring Break outing, but we’re betting it won’t be his last. After all, Sean told MTV News his mentor, Kanye West , revealed he thinks the Finally Famous MC will eventually rank as the best rapper of all time. After rocking the Palms’ poolside stage with “Do It,” “Marvin & Chardonnay” and “Dance (A$$),” the Detroit MC told MTV News, “It’s just cool as hell, period, because I used to look at all the Spring Break performances when I was coming up. To be doing it myself, I can’t even be more thankful.” While his Palms party automatically ranked as Sean’s favorite, he also recalled an unforgettable run in Miami. “Besides this one, I went down to Miami one year,” Sean said. “Drinks, mixed with girls, mixed with Detroit players — that’s a crazy combo.” As far as how one might deal with those next-day hangovers, Big Sean advised, “Don’t worry about the morning after. It’ll make the night that much better.” For the hardworking G.O.O.D. Music rapper, we’re sure the break came in handy. Not only does he have the G.O.O.D. Music compilation dropping sometime this year, Sean is also planning to release his sophomore LP. “My album’s coming this summer. I can probably say at the latest at the end of August. I got Tyga on there. I got, of course, ‘Ye on there,” he revealed. Somewhere in between all those sessions is when Kanye made his bold and surprising prediction: “I’m here kickin’ with ‘Ye,” Sean recalled, “and ‘Ye tellin’ me I’m gonna be the best rapper of all time.” Related Videos 2012 mtvU Spring Break Performances Artists Celebrate Spring Break 2012 Related Photos Spring Break 2012 | Live Performances Related Artists Big Sean Kanye West
Diddy urges fans to retweet link to rapper’s ‘Wit My Hoodie On’ tribute track. By Rob Markman Trayvon Martin Photo: AP The tragic shooting death of Trayvon Martin has led a number of prominent hip-hop artists to speak out. On last week’s “RapFix Live,” Nas , Bun B, Killer Mike and Prodigy all expressed their views on the Florida teen’s death at the hands of neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman. The discussion around Martin, who was wearing a hoodie when he was killed, has also led to protests, televised debates and songs dedicated to young Trayvon. The latest of such singles comes from Diddy signee Los . On Sunday night, the Bad Boy mogul tweeted the link to Los’ “Wit My Hoodie On” and urged his followers to retweet it to the world. The Baltimore MC begins the somber, violin-laced track saying, “I just came here tonight to celebrate the life of Trayvon Martin. Put your hoodie on.” Los’ track was released eight days after Plies dropped his dedication, “We Are Trayvon,” in what seems to be a growing trend. On “Wit My Hoodie On,” Swagger Boy Los goes on to compare the Trayvon tragedy to his own troubles. He begins the first verse recalling the murder of his father 15 years ago and the effect it has had on his life. Toward the second half of the verse, Los brings it back full-circle, spitting, “I’m wrestling for this one shot/ Feeling like Trayvon on the lawn before the gunshot/ I ain’t gettin’ my up-to-no-good on/ They just wanna kill me, because I put my hood on.” The song’s hook is an ode to the hoodie, a fashion staple and now a symbolic representation of Trayvon’s gripping death. “I ride (with my hoodie on), I hustle (with my hoodie on)/ Damn right, I represent the struggle (with my hoodie on).” Veteran news reporter Geraldo Rivera recently said that he believed “the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman.” But on Sunday night, Rivera apologized to Martin’s parents when they appeared on his Fox News show. Trayvon’s dad, Tracy Martin, accepted Rivera’s apology and took a moment to clarify why his son was actually wearing the sweatshirt. “Your apology is accepted,” he said . “Let me just add one thing with the wearing of the hoodie. I don’t think America knows that, in fact, at the time of the incident when he initially made the call, it was raining. So Trayvon had every right to have on his hood. He was protecting himself from the rain. “So if being suspicious, walking in the rain with your hoodie on is a crime, then I guess the world is doing something wrong.” What do you think of Los’ “Wit My Hoodie On”?

‘I don’t know if you’re ever done; it’s almost like climbing a mountain,’ Hov says in new clip. By Nadeska Alexis Jay-Z in the “Rocawear Presents Jay-Z From Marcy to Barclays” commercial Photo: Rocawear Even after 16 fruitful years in the game, Jay-Z continues to push himself, achieving new career milestones with each passing year. In a new ad for his Rocawear clothing line, titled “Marcy to Barclays,” the Brooklyn-bred mogul reflects on his rise to the top. “Marcy to Barclays” references Jay-Z’s investment in the NBA Nets and their transition to the newly constructed Barclays Center, which the team will inhabit in Downtown Brooklyn beginning this fall. The 30-second, black-and-white clip begins with snapshots of New York City and the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, where Jay grew up. “Wherever you grow up, it’s your root, and I’m a kid from the Marcy Projects in Brooklyn,” he begins in a voice-over. As the scenery changes to incorporate shots of Jay in the studio and at his Rocawear offices, the mogul begins to reflect on the drive that’s led him to so much success. “I don’t know if you’re ever done; it’s almost like climbing a mountain,” he says. “You see another mountain, then you go to the next one and the next one. “My goal was to have one gold album, and that was it,” he adds, considering the impressive arc of his career since his 1996 debut, with Reasonable Doubt. “Then it became … I want to show that artists can ascend to the executive ranks.” To say that Jay has achieved new career highs in the past year alone would be an understatement. In February, he performed a pair of sold-out charity shows at Carnegie Hall in New York, a groundbreaking moment for a hip-hop artist. “Any time I get a chance to expand and broaden the reach of hip-hop is a great thing for me on a personal level,” Jay told MTV News when he originally announced the pair of shows at Carnegie Hall.

Len Wiseman remake, starring Colin Farrell, looks like a sleek, modern update of Arnold Schwarzenegger flick. By Kevin P. Sullivan Colin Farrell in “Total Recall” Photo: Sony If the trailer for Len Wiseman’s remake of “Total Recall” made one thing clear, it’s that this is not the “Total Recall” you know. Gone is the camp. Gone is the Martian setting. Gone is the Schwarzenegger. Instead, the new “Total Recall” is a sleek, visually impressive and modern sci-fi action thriller. Colin Farrell has stepped into the secret-secret-agent boots and the fit seems just right. Here are our five key scenes from the new “Total Recall” trailer. Total recall The trailer begins by giving a good sense of the setup of the story, and once Farrell’s character, Douglas Quaid, slips into the Rekal machine, that’s when all the trouble starts. Probably one of the strongest visual connections to the Paul Verhoeven-Arnold Schwarzenegger original, the Rekal machine should look vaguely familiar, albeit significantly updated. We do get the added benefit of a bleach-blond John Cho, but from the looks of the trailer, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be around for very long. “I know kung fu” After taking a seat in the Rekal machine, Quaid has his very own Jason Bourne moment. Once the police show up to arrest the very confused customer, his own secret-agent moves come back to him in a flash, and he’s able to dispatch all of the would-be arresting officers just as quickly. The camera jumps around with as much ferocity as Quaid, reminding us that Len “Underworld” Wiseman is definitely behind the lens. Kate Beckinsale: Villainess And if Len Wiseman is directing, his real-life wife, Kate Beckinsale , can’t be too far behind. After Quaid’s run-in with the police at the Rekal center, his loving wife, played by Beckinsale, turns out to be not so loving. In fact, she’s a deadly assassin set on killing Quaid once his past memories have been unlocked. She’s on the tail of Quaid and his new female companion, played by Jessica Biel . Frankly, it’s about time we got an evil turn out of Beckinsale. Anti-gravity gunfight Perhaps the horn blasts throughout the trailer aren’t the only nods to Christopher Nolan’s “Inception.” During the quick clips of scenes near the end of the trailer, we get a brief look at what appears to be a zero-g gunfight. Changing faces The final shot from the trailer is probably the most intriguing. The always fantastic Bryan Cranston , playing the president of Euroamerica, confronts Quaid, who seems more confused than ever. We then see Quaid’s face transform from Farrell’s to two other actors’ and back to Farrell’s. Schwarzenegger’s version of Quaid did some shape-shifting of his own, but never with this much style.

Mark Wahlberg tries to sever ties from his childhood teddy bear, the foul-mouthed Ted. By Fallon Prinzivalli Mark Wahlberg, Ted as voiced by Seth McFarlane and Mila Kunis in “Ted” Photo: Universal Pictures As a kid, did you ever wish on a shooting star that the stuffed animal your dad brought you back from his business trip would come to life? No? Well, Mark Wahlberg did in his new movie Ted,” and to his surprise, his wish was granted. “Ted” follows John Bennett (Wahlberg) as a 35-year-old still living with Ted, his faithful, vulgar stuffed friend from childhood. As he attempts to move on with his life, Ted continually shows up when he’s unwanted — at least by Bennett’s girlfriend, Lori ( Mila Kunis ). The comedy is written and directed by “Family Guy’s” Seth MacFarlane in his big-screen debut. And if Ted sounds familiar, it’s because MacFarlane is also voicing the bear. Until the film hits theaters on July 13, here are the five key scenes from the restricted “Ted” trailer. A Chance Meeting John Bennett knocks Lori over at a club with his unique dance moves. The opening notes of “Sweet Disposition” by the Temper Trap start to play as he touches ice to her head, cueing the sweet montage of things new couples do together in romantic comedies. They have a playful paint war while repainting a bedroom, float blissfully on a lake and it all ends with an “I love you” kiss in bed. Aww. For all the romantics excited at the prospect of another “The Notebook” to drag their significant others to, think again. Thunder Buddies for Life Enter Ted. Frightened by thunder during a storm, a living teddy bear comes running into Lori and Bennett’s room, hops into bed between them and starts singing (along with an equally scared Bennett) the thunder song. The tune is filled with a few choice words, hand motions and sounds that would make a sailor blush — not the usual children’s lullaby. He’s No Corduroy In true MacFarlane style, Ted isn’t your usual cuddly teddy bear. While our first introduction to Ted is during a colorful rendition of a children’s lullaby, our next meeting with the character shows a marijuana-smoking burnout suggesting what sex position Lori may be expecting from Bennett later that night. It seems even teddy bears lose their innocence as they get older. Ted Meets Girl Ted works at a supermarket and develops a crush on one of his co-workers. When Bennett asks her name, Ted says it’s of the “white trash” variety. It leads to a hilarious scene where Wahlberg shows off his Marky-Mark skills, listing off the possible names in a way that might make Busta Rhymes a little jealous. Exit Ted? The trailer ends with dejected looking Ted walking in a dark alley sipping from a beer bottle. Maybe John Bennett grew up, gave into his girlfriend’s request and cut ties with his unusual BFF? Lori can only hope. Check out everything we’ve got on Ted.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

When Demi starts looking at photos of the twosome in happier times, viewers accompany her on a trip down memory lane with shots of the two cuddling, painting together, sharing flirty glances, dancing and strolling in the sun. When Demi isn’t reminiscing, she’s strolling down the street, her bag of photographic evidence that they are perfect for one another hanging on her shoulder. So, what will she do with those photos?

I think it’s important that I kept a lot of my heart open on the album because I talked about my personal issues,” she told MTV News of the 2011 release. “But I also had some fun dance songs on there for people to enjoy.” What do you think of Demi Lovato’s video for “Give Your Heart a Break”?
