- DirectorJoseph KahnStarsKianna DiorEminemJenna JamesonThe music video to Eminem's song 'Without Me'.
- DirectorStuart GoslingStarsLas KetchupLola MuñozLucía MuñozThe video starts with the female band members laying out a carpet on the ground and putting the bar stools on display to set up their musical show. They then serve people exotic beverages at the beach bar. A male bar attendant with dreadlocks enthusiastically pours drink in a glass and juggles a bottle around. Meanwhile, more and more beach-goers are shown drawing in to the bar, to watch the trio's performance.
- DirectorDave MeyersStarsAnastaciaThe music video was shot on January 16-17, 2002 in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California. In the beginning, while the sun is rising up, Anastacia is shown eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast, while singing the first verse of the song. After the slow opening, she dances through the room and you see other people in a sort of a game house. The video shows men playing volleyball on the beach and other people swimming in the pool. Then Anastacia is seen lying on a pool side. Next, the camera travels through a sand castle. When it gets out of the castle, Anastacia is seen dancing.
- DirectorDave MeyersStarsPinkL.A. ReidWanda RothThe music video for "Don't Let Me Get Me," shot by director Dave Meyers, depicts Pink as a high school student, in various scenes in which her nonconformity causes conflict with other students and school officials. A similarly-themed scene depicts her meeting with L.A. Reid, who tells her that in order to make her into a pop star, she will have to change everything about her outward appearance, in order to make her persona more comparable to that of Britney Spears, despite Pink's insistence that that is not how she sees herself. Yet another scene shows her modeling for the cover of a magazine, irritated at how she is being made up by the lighting technicians, makeup artists and other personnel involved in the shoot. The video then shifts to a scene in which Pink, now in control over her career, is welcomed back to her high school for a concert there.

The video was filmed completely on location, with none of the scenes shot on green screens. The video primarily consists of Spears, whilst wearing cowboy boots, performing the song whilst standing on the edge of a cliff, and inside a cave: despite her "trepidation" and heavy winds which "almost dropped her over", she performed the scene without a safety cable. Isham praised Spears' attitude to the filming of the scene, claiming that she "had not a blink of fear" during the shoot, Spears is sitting on top of a cliff, surrounded by cliffs.

At the end of the video, she is seen with a new boyfriend with a flower tattoo covering the name, as her jealous ex watches her from his car.
- DirectorCris JuddStarsLaNease AdamsAshantiJennifer LopezThe music video features two parts which frequently interchange back and forth throughout the song.

This part of the video is from the point of view of the guy who is being mentioned in the song. His face is not seen, and Lopez addresses the camera throughout this section of the video. This section begins with the guy knocking on the door, Lopez inviting him in, and then eventually showing him the door when she sees him attempting to look/flirt with other women at the party. As he leaves, she goes on entertaining the other guests.

In the first scene, Pink lies on the floor. In the chorus she sings in front of the band. She also appears in a scene with white rabbits all over the room, and in another scene, she is shown with an elephant. There are also scenes where Pink sings in front of and among different people.
