RePost: BeYonces NEW Music Videos

Diva
Uploaded by gumdrop82

I want to APOLOGIZE to ALL of My Socialites and Celeb.U.Tantes for WAITING until this morning to REPOST the BeYonce Music Videos that were SNATCHED from YouTube by SONY Music Group, yesterday. ALL of you KNOW that I am HERE in Baltimore with My Friends, and they have me so DISTRACTED from my daily Grinde of Posting, Filming, Editing, Promoting.

Its a Nice Lil Relief, I Might Add.

Nonetheless, in January 2009, as this Blog will TRANSITION away from BlogSpot and into My Full-Fledged, Mainstream Site, I will ONLY be using DAILY MOTION to Post and Promote Artist Videos. It ANNOYS the HELL out of Me when something that I have taken the time to Post is abruptly DELETED; Especially since Im NOT in front of the computer, 18 Hours A Day, as I am in California.

NOW...In ALL HONESTY, after viewing the DIVA and HALO videos in their entirety, MORE than Once...Umm...YES, I am rather on the fence.

While I still LOVE and ENVELOP the raw artistry and aesthetics of HALO, along with the Ever-So-Handsome, Guest Appearance from Micheal Ealy, I am NOT able to FORCE Myself to Enjoy DIVA. Ive TRIED...and I absolutely despise Beyonce's Costuming, Hair, Scene Set Ups, Props, Choreography, and Art Direction.

HATE ME for Saying So...BUT...It Doesnt Matter because you just read it.

I DO, However, ENJOY the 'Broken Doll' Poses that she Gives Us towards the End of the first, half-mark, performance routine. Very Avante Garde'.

I THINK the PROBLEM is that We, Collectively, EXPECT her(BEYONCE) to soar so FAR and BEYOND the boundaries of Glam, Style, Pazzazz and Standard, that its becoming More and More Difficult to be WoW.d by her presentations and showcases. So, I took a moment and put Ashanti, Brandy, Monica, Keyshia Cole and even Mya in the Spotlight DIVA role of the Video.

YES...I would STILL be dissatisfied. So, its NOT simply BECAUSE She's 'Beyonce'.

I DONT Enjoy the DIVA Video. PERIOD.

NOW...I Wonder...Are ALL of the Anthology Videos, To Be Released in February 2009, going to be so Raw, Simple and Mundane?

As an Artist, I LOVE and APPRECIATE Simplicity. HOWEVER, The essence of it becomes a little too PEDESTRIAN once its evident that EFFORT is being Put into 'Coming Off' as Natural, Plain and Simple.

DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN?

Like, How STUPID would I look to 'TRY' and 'COME OFF' in my videos as being 'ARTICULATE'.
Either I Am...or I Am NOT. In Life, Artists shouldnt TRY to CREATE an IMAGE of themselves that isnt a True Reflection of their Character.

SIMPLICITY $ELLS for Those Who Just Are...

Beyonce's Music Video: HALO

The ONE element about Beyonce's RETURN to the Scene that I embrace with Artistic Grace, is her newfound appreciation for Simplicity and Aesthetics. Either SHE or a 'GHOST CREATOR' has embodied the essence of Filmmaking, in that, IMAGE OverPowers Character Virtue.

KUDOS to the Director and Treatment Originators.

BeYonce's Music Video: DIVA

Im actually looking FORWARD to see what She and Her Camp creatively DO with the HALO Track and Music Video....

Nevertheless, ENJOY this THIRD Visual Compilation from Beyonce's, THIRD, Solo, LP, 'I AM...SASHA FIERCE'

Christina Milian's New Music Video

US AGAINST THE WORLD

Christina Milian has ALWAYS been an extremely Beautiful, Trendsetter; one whose Talents and Unique Sense-of-Style has ALWAYS seemed to be smashed below the radar. In a day and age where female artists seem to be scratching up walls just to have their songs receive airplay, and their videos kept in frequent rotation, Christina is BACK-AT-IT!

With her new transition to MySpace Music, one of the contemporary, leaders in exposure, promotion and cross-genre appeal, Christina Milian has already released her debut track, US AGAINST THE WORLD.

Though the song isnt receiving a plethora of industry or public attention, Christina reigns supreme as a young ingenue who does NOT lay flat on her face for long. I dont LOVE her single, but it is worthy of mainstream airplay.

I am LOVING these SIN.Sational Shots of Christina, as she records the Video for the Single.

ENTENGERE'

Okay...Okay...She has DEFINITELY Redeemed herself with THIS particular ensemble. Its the FIRST Real COLOR that we've seen her in throughout the ENTIRE Duration of the Promotional Campaign and Stage Appearances for I AM...Sasha Fierce.

LOVE the EXOTIC, Avante-Garde MakeUp.

I GUESS...

BEYONCE'S 'DIVA' Music Video [Photos]

BEYONCE Shoots DIVA Music Video

I am NOT the least bit SURPRISED that Beyonce's DIVA single has already been 'LEAKED' to Urban Radio, as it has already Charted in the Lower Tiers of Billboards, HOT R&B Singles Chart. Initially, Beyonce was set to release EGO as the follow-up track to the Top 40, BillBoard, Hit, SINGLE LADIES.

I KNEW that Beyonce's camp would CAPITALIZE Quick from the Bangladesh Produced Track that Caterpaulted Lil Waynes last LP into Million Unit $ales Week Phenomenon.

As Ive previously stated, its the Marketing Schemes, and NOT the 'TALENT' that keeps this Girl on TOP.

Meanwhile, theres absolutely NOTHING about Beyonce's Pedestrian, Mundane appearance that Im LOVING right Now...NOTHING-at-ALL. Im HOPING that there are 3 OTHER Costume Changes and Scene Set-Ups; Shots that simply have NOT been released to the Press. I couldnt STAND-IT if this is ALL that She's Delivering atop the BIG BRAG BASS of the Song's Lyrical Prowess.

While here in Los Angeles this weekend, Beyonce also Auditioned Male Leads to STAR alongside her in the HALO Music Video, which is set to be released as the 2nd Single from The Favorable, I AM BEYONCE Disc.
