Keeps Getting Better?

I think not. If you are going to name a song that, you had better have a video to back that ish up. I mean, come on now! We are in the midst of another Britney vs Christina moment and Christina has obviously lost. I like the song, it's fun and sounds very Rachel Stevens. (Look up "Nothing Good About Goodbye") I know this song is from her greatest hits and they probably aren't putting a ton of money behind the CD, but Damn! Give a bitch a budget! She is just sitting around playing on a board looking like Timbaland. Dance, vogue, do SOMETHING. I cannot endorse this:

Jesus Be My BlindFold!

This clip came to me courtesy of one Max Jones. I don't know where he found it, but I am really alarmed. Aretha Franklin is SANGIN' MiMi's "Touch My Body" which of course makes me think of some poor man charged with the responsibility of fulfilling her request. She's got body for days y'all. I really hope she decides to end her feud with Beyonce and cover Single Ladies. Maybe she could change the chorus to "Put a chicken wing on may" or "put an onion ring in me (belly..y'all so nasty!)" Of she could dust off an oldie, but goodie and remake "Freakum Dress" I'mma stay posted on YouTube waiting for her next awesome cover. And I give you all the original ReRe:

Throwback Joint: Imagination

This video comes from Tamia. It wasn't as big as "Stranger in My House" or, umm forget it, but I still like it. It combines a riff from the Jackson 5 and has a Busta Rhymes "Put Yo Hands Where I can See" vibe. The video was the first time I really saw an urban chick doing something so edgy and dark. It looked very similar to the NIN video for "Closer" Fast forward to 2008 when people are knocking Beyonce for biting styles and looks and praising RiRi for being edgy and different. Anyway, here is Tamia being edge and different, all while biting another video. Keep this up Tamia, and I'mma have to call you BeRiRi.

New Music: Return The Favour

This is the second single from Keri Hilson. I guess "Energy" didn't catch on like they anticipated, so they went with this song that sounds like a slower sequel to "Way I Are" It was directed by Melina, who did Ciara's latest video and they both have that futuristic vibe. Keri looks stunning in this video and I like the vibe of the song. It's really slinky and sexy. She is giving us some major RiRi references in this video:
1.) The scene with her in the pink dress with the mirrors is very S.O.S.
2.) The dance breakdown in the water is very "Umbrella"

Am I right, or am I right? Alright, enjoy

I Hope It's Not Too Late to Put A Ring On It...

I know Beyonce/Sasha/Divine Wearer of the Asian Silky Jumbo #5 likes to look to the past for inspiration for her videos. I knew her "Single Ladies" video was shot in the style of one of those 60s variety show performances. What I didn't know is that B totally swagger jacked this Gwen lady. I first saw Gwen doing this exact same dance to Unk's "Walk it Out" I saw it last week for the first time actually. It had me rolling. Anyay, imagine my shock, awe, & moisture level when I found this video:



I'mma do B, like Us Weekly or whatever tab does it: WHO DID IT BEST?

Throwback Joint: There You Go

So MTV is pushing P!nk's new album like they have something riding on it. Between all of their shows, they are playing interviews with her. I'd like to say "F you, MTV, I see right through you and I will NOT buy into it!!!" Sadly, if MTV tells me to do something, I do it. I am kind of excited for her new album to come out. I just returned Ne-Yo's album (it was too slow) and I have 9.99 burning a hole in my pocket. Her new song is really catchy, so I'm hoping there will be more catchy songs and cunty dramatical songs that make me misty eyed. It's kind of her formula and I ain't mad at it.
Does anyone else remember when P!nk used to be black? Well I thought she was, when I first heard this throwback joint on the radio. I actually bought that album and it was decent. I was able to buy into the whole sassy, strong black woman, but I must admit that her rocker chick persona feels a little more authentic. At any rate, I really don't care about image and the like--it's all about the music man! Also, when did I become such a dirty hippie? Of course it's all about the image.

Put a C-Ring on It

OK, so a few posts back, I was bitching and moaning about not being able to do an easy dance to Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It). Apparently my working and going to school has stopped me from studying the video frame by frame to recreate the video for tens of people to watch online via YouTube. Thankfully, work/school haven't gotten in the way of this lad's attempts to Get me Bodied. Is that the correct use of that phrase? I still really don't understand it. At any rate, here is a Single Guy (Probably not for long after this clip blows up) dancing to Single Ladies:
