Deconstructing Beyonce and The Beyonce Video
I guess I have a love hate relationship with Beyonce, Sometimes I love her (Her Dangerously in love Era) Some times I hate her (More recently) and I use hate very loosely. I honestly just think she needs a long ass break. Shes really just a little to much now. Shes going for over exposure, like Mariah before the breakdown. All she needs is a flop to pick herself back up and stop being lazy, and I use lazy loosely to only because she could have gotten someone else to rap on her 1st single instead of Jay Z thats lazy and convient Im sure all she had to do was walk to her couch and ask hem to lay down his Bars.
And Im sure we all know I disliked the BET awards performance mainly due to the fact that I expected MORE only because I know what shes capable of...
Anyway onto this video. I actually like it. And I use like loosely I like the video starting from the Jay Z rap til the end but the rest is lame and grabage. Sure she looks cute and couture but the video has a swampy dirty sweaty gross feel and Im not a fan of the stupid african dances she does. But she does have more energy and stage presence than most. I honestly only thinks she does extremely well when shes overshadowing people, (i.e. Her back up dancers, Kelly and Michlle) Here its just her and Maybe her isnt enuf...for me at least becuz it seems that every Gay is on her heels.
Oh maybe thats why I dont like her. I have this big individuality complex where I like to be exclusive with things, clothes and people I like, love, idolize or even listen to. I loved Beyonce before she released her CD when everyone hated her. Remember that time period where everything she did people critized? No? Oh maybe those are the hardcore Aaliyah Fans who became Fans after she died. But there was a time period I'd say after Survivor where everyone hated her and only I seemed to like her.
Then came her 2003 solo debut and everyone loved her. I began to back away slowly...of course but back away nonetheless. When every Gay person and every black woman wanted to be he I was extremly turned off in a BIG way. People in the clubs imulated the way she walked, talked, dressed its just gross and upon writing this I've come to believe I dont really hate her I just hate her impact so If I tone all of those other fans out Ill be ok. Still a 100% Christina Fan (Because she is a true artist, by that I mean she writes, has a vision, doesnt have daddy walking her through everything nor does she depend on a boyfriend or a hot rapper of the moment to sell records nor does she sing over other peoples vocals and tries to pass them off as her own (i.e. Check on it, Kelly sang the second verse) )
But anywho We'll see what else she has to offer on her New Cd. Im sure Ill like it, dance to it in the club and watch everything she does. But Im not sure Ill like it all very much lol
Anyway heres the Video....
Deja Vu
