10. MUSIC: "Go All Night," Gorgon City featuring Jennifer Hudson
If you thought the debauchery of after-hours clubbing was a nightlife relic left in the last decade, look no further than Gorgon City's new video proving that the underground scene is alive and well for those who still crave it. Jennifer Hudson joins the British electronic house duo on vocals for a late-night gathering reminiscent of Madonna's "Deeper and Deeper" video, including cameos from Michael Musto and drag divas Miss Fame, Svetlana Stoli, and Ebonee Excell. "I grew up singing in gay clubs, and drag queens used to be the ones who would dress me up," Hudson told The Advocate in a recent interview. "That's why I always say I'm a queen on the inside too." Watch below as JHud channels her inner queen surrounded by LGBT club kids for the excellent video and dance single "Go All Night." -- Scott Ragan
