Bad, but not nearly in the “So bad it’s good” category. YMMV.
Nice to see the '80s “Mad Max” aesthetic is back, though!
That’s ok, I love it more than enough to make up for all of you.
(And it’s pretty clear to me that she’s just trying to work a little Gaga.)
Well, let’s just say this isn’t the worst musical interpretation I’ve seen in the last few days.
It’s a chicken, I tell you! A giant chicken!
Awful song. Stupid dancing. “Ooo…they’re almost swearing! Radical!”
Don’t forget the bravely pixelated bird flip!
That is some good bad dancing, tough. I’d love to see some of the bad imitations going on at clubs when they play this song.
0.45mins in: I’m still waiting for it to get good.
1.15mins in: I’m thinking maybe this is never gonna get good.
4.03mins in: Someone lied about something (and BTW, girls run the world yo!).
I appreciate the sentiment Mahaloth (trying to bring a ray of sunlight to our otherwise dreary lives) but in this case it didn’t work for me. I guess I don’t find it funny when celebs achieve moderate fail. Just sad. No doubt the track will make the charts.
I didn’t find it amusing at all; the fact that it is most certainly going to be a huge hit is seriously disheartening.
mmm
I couldn’t last the video, it goes from shoulder spasms to booty spasms, right? same ol same ol, advertising the goods, adopting a pseudo femilitia stance. I’m embarrassed for her - Beyoncie needs to get over herself, Rihanna too.
She performed the song live with equally silly choreography at the Billboard Awards:
- YouTube (starts about 3 minutes in after the hagiography.)
I like this song. The music I recognize as a dancehall riddim; one of my favorites right now.
The dancing is the kind of dancing that a cutting edge, edgy forward thinking workaholic with more ambition than talent would do. Three years from now, Justin Bieber will be doing a watered down version of that herky jerky shit and folks will be eating it up with a spoon.
Beyond Thunderdumb.
I don’t doubt that. But just because folks eat a bowlful of poo with a spoon doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing me breaking out my utensils.
mmm
The dance scene in the beginning (her standing behind her “guards”) was a mismash of every dance move ever created by Michael Jackson, it seems. I mean, I even saw some Scarecrow moves from “The Wiz” in there. Michael’s gotta be rolling in his grave.
But other than laughing at that, the video sucked.
I assumed the swearing was bleeped/silenced for the video. They don’t swear in the actual song? Huh.
I’m not sure what to say about the adblocker stuff, folks. I’m on Firefox 3.x and I never get ads on youtube. Until recently, I didn’t even know youtube had ads(I learned about it on the dope).
Just skip to 48 s, mute it if you prefer, and giggle at the dancing.
lol!
MMM, I don’t knock you for eating with your hands. Many cultures do that, and it’s not something I turn my nose up at.
Seriously, though.
It won’t be ‘poo’ by the time Bieber waters it down. By that time it will be much more palatable.
Think of it like Haute Couture fashion. What you see on the runway may sometimes be unwearable, but it inspires less forward thinking designers to take the most wearable parts of the collection and make it ready to wear.
That is why I kind of dig Beyonce. She takes risks that may seem silly at first but seem to pay off in the long run.
All of that being said, I do realize that sometimes dumb dancing is just dumb dancing.
I hate the song, but I actually like the dancing. And not because I think it’s so bad it’s good/funny. I just like it. But then I’m a weirdo.
