In Christina Aguilera's video of "Dirrty" the use of the camera invites sexual gaze by...
Focusing on her breasts, bum and lips. It sometimes zooms in to her body and forces you to watch her dance and shake. This will promote the video to men and make women change their ideas of what type of clothing and attitude needed.
The audience views this video in a voyeuristic way because...
Everyone in the video is half dressed and the women are always in the centre of the camera, dancing sexually. There are several scenes in the video such as the one in the showers where it is just outright sexual and this is probably one of the reasons for the change of content in recent music videos.
The actors interact in a way that results in the female being seen as an object of sexual desire. This occurs when...
The second scene (out of the wrestling ring) is where Christina and two other video girls are dancing on separate podiums above the crowd and this makes her the centre of attention. Also in the shower scene the video girls are all crowed around Christina and always lower down than her.
In Jesse J's video of "Do it Like a Dude" the use of the camera invites sexual gaze by...
Closing in on her lips in the first scene, but in this video it tries to deviate from being sexual and successfully does this by putting spikes on her lips and quick aggressive movements. But in the end this video still has Jesse J in her bra and therefore could still prove Laura Mulvey right.
The audience does not view this video in a voyeuristic way because...

Jesse J makes the video in a way that makes her movements ugly and aggressive. The video is set in a dark, oppressive church-like building and the clothing and objects in the video are all dark coloured, further enhancing the oppressive atmosphere. At no point during the music video is Jesse J looked at in desire, in fact, there are very few scenes where Jesse is looked at at all. Although all this amounts against the stereotype, the video still follows Mulvey's theory because Jesse J can be seen wearing her bra and the camera takes sexual shots throughout the video.
