Rickrolling

Am I the only one that is still annoyed that magazines haven't given up trying to convince us that Britney Spears is still HOT? After her career and mental state took a nosedive, it just doesn’t matter how many packs of abs she has. She’s just a mom to those KFed kids. Those Toxic days are over.

Does she not look like a drag queen that plays Brit in a cabaret show? It’s her face. It’s lost its innocence and has taken on a harder edge. I haven't been keeping up with her comeback but her new music video is the worst! She’s flashing her boobs to unsuspecting pedestrians, winking at CHILDREN, and getting patted down by a hot cop. We GET it; you want people to think you still got it! Oh, and you are just sooo rebellious wearing that T-shirt with a skull wearing Mickey ears! You're almost 30, grow up!

Breathe…and to think all this started because I was surfing YouTube. I was so disappointed. It was one terrible “music” video after another. If the dancing was great, then the song was bad. If the song was ok, the story was dreadful. Maybe I’m just missing the political message underlining Lady Gaga’s video but I don’t understand the concept. Katy Perry’s video, despite a cameo by Kenny G, Hanson, and many others, was just awkward.

What’s happened to music videos? Pop-Up Videos would tear these things to pieces with their angry yet hilarious thought bubbles. And where did all this product placement come from? At times, I wonder if I’m just watching a Super Bowl length VW commercial.

And one last note: the dancing in the videos…why so angry? The dancers are break dancing for their lives! No smiling, no soft movements. Everything is so hard and heavy footed! I miss the smooth group dances of the Mickey Mouse Club graduates… Yea, I said it! I hate that the simplicity is gone and there is just way too much Vaseline on these half naked bodies. Ick! I had to watch kittens falling asleep and a puppy that can't quite roll over just to get that bad taste out of my mouth.

I need a music video that makes me want to dance with a smile on my face, where have those videos gone… Oh, on YouTube.
