Okay, this might just be a UK thing, or I might be late in the game; but has anyone seen Blu Cantrall's Breathe video lately?

Is it me, or is the appearance of the video a couple of shades...less blue? Bizarre. I don't know which version I like better

I don't know if he's a jerk or not, I don't know him, just see him around alot. He's pretty popular around here. I don't know where the name Baby Bash came from, I do know he changed it from Baby Beesh though. I figured it's probably because he has a baby face.



KikiMets, I think that is why I can't watch the video, Frankie J does look really wierd in it. I was surprised I liked he's voice. When he first left Kumbia Kings, I thought it was the wrong move. But now hearing his cd, I'm thinking leaving was a good thing. He was just background for Kumbia Kings so you didn't really get to hear him.

In regards to Musical Youth:
I don't know why I know this, but I believe the original song was "pass the kutchie." Kutchie meaning marijuana. But since the song was remade by a bunch of children (Musical Youth), they changed it to "dutchie" which was a cooking pot.

But hey. I guess dutchie can mean weed. Afterall, Missy Elliot has extensive musical knowledge that she's gotten from her Casio.

Also, in Sean Paul's "gimme the light," I could be wrong, but I believe he's saying "Gimme the light and pass the 'dro." Dro being short for weed laced with hydrochloric acid.

As for the "Hey Ya" video. I was sick of it and the song the first time I saw it. I was more impressed the first time I saw it eight years ago when it was done by Weezer.

For the past few years, I've felt like I've been living in Bizarro world where people like Missy Elliot and Outcast are considered musical geniuses. Sorry Andre, but as hard as you try, you will never be Parliament Funkadelic. George Clinton created better songs on crack than you ever will in your lifetime.

Going back a bit, I wanted to mention that the Portuguese population in southeast Massachusetts is still very much alive and reasonably separate from the greater culture. It's a way of life that's disappearing, but my grandparents rented to, rented from, employed, were friends with, went to church services conducted by, went to restaurants run by, and were buried by other Portuguese and Portuguese-Americans. That was their life, and it wasn't that long ago.

My father and I recently visited the old home town (Fall River!) to purchase some traditional foods and encounted a full-fledged saint's procession. Kids and adults of all ages, dressed in their Sunday best, carrying various statues to a church.

I thought "dro" was short for hydroponic? That's how I've always taken it, at any rate. Why would somebody want to put HCl on their weed? That would be terrible. Then again, I knew a girl who used to voluntarily take roofies, so I guess there's a drug for everybody.

Veering back on topic, am I the only person who learned how to do the Steve Martin from EPMD's "You Gots Ta Chill" video? I am? Crap, forget I mentioned it, then.

As you can see, my experience with marijuana or any type of drugs is non-existent. LOL. That's why I said I could be wrong. I thought it was weird that Sean Paul would be singing about hydrochloric acid and marijuana, but there are people who put formaldehyde in joints, so what the heck.

On topic: Anyone else disappointed with Kelis' video "Milkshake?" I was just expecting more of a punk, campy type video rather than the typical boring, Beyonce greased up soft porn vid. I know they used the same director for this one. But I know Kelis made another Milkshake video prior to this one and her label was unhappy with it. Hence the Jake Nava direction.

I miss that crazy pink-haired, pink eyebrowed girl who was shouting through my t.v. I hope her label isn't pushing her to be more like Beyonce. I really liked Kelis' uniqueness.

I thought that the Kelis "Milkshake" video would be better too. I saw an interview with her on BET's 106 & Park where she said she hated the first video they shot, and she begged her label to shoot another one. She said the first one was very cartoonish and silly (I guess much more than the second one.)

I'm glad you mentioned that, cos when I was reading this upthread I was wondering if I was the only one who thought they were referring to a cooking pot. That was definitely the explanation given out at the time (in pop gospel Smash Hits magazine) and I was too young then to be looking for any double meaning or drugs references. Not so much now.

Yeah, I think that was Patrick and he actually died a few years ago.[/things I learn from Pop Up Video] Also, the Sonic/Musical Youth confusion is still cracking me up.

I hate Babs with a passion, but she doesn't look half bad in that makeover picture. She has nice cheekbones. And I was wondering if Da Band was going to put another video out, or if Piddy already grew tired of them.

And for some reason, Milkshake kept popping up in conversation during New Year's. Nobody else seemed to remember that the new ass-crack showing Kelis is the same rainbow colored haired woman who sang Caught Out There. Also, what's going on with Kelis' pants in Milkshake? Up top, they look like jeans, but they're so tight, the bottom looks like leg warmers. Really, its not cute.

Dear lord Ambystone, say it ain't so! He died? Man. I wonder how. He was cute. I feel.... old (and that Sonic/Musical Youth confusion on my part didn't help my feelings of dilapidation).

Speaking of Kellis, I heard her entire cd and was actually disappointed (although I like Milkshake). Kinda hopin' she gets that Grammy for Milkshake though.

Ya'll, we were on the second page of posts - I've never seen this thread so far down!

I saw a New Kids on the Block video on VH1 Classic the other day. That's really sad and depressing (that I'm old!)

I can't believe they are using Blind Melon in a Pepsi commercial. How disappointing!

Somebody please take John Mayer's guitar and destroy it. I hate his music. I hate his music videos. I hate his stupid condenscending attitude. Somebody. Please.

On the "Hey Ya" video from a page or so back... I have hated that song since it came out (even though I love "The Way You Move" to pieces and still crank the radio up for it). I can't stand "Hey Ya." Everything about it just bugs and I don't know why.



Now I want to see the original one, because I think the one that's out is pretty damn cartoony. What is her standard of bad?

That said, I heard "Killing Me Softly" on the top 40 radio station today and it reminded me of how much I liked that song.

Having downloaded the original edit...it's interesting. First, she gets a milkshake from Nas, then she and the neighborhood kids are dancing and shaking things and then she's walking down a street WITH FLAT HAIR and some ugly shit on and the guys playing basketball follow her and she gyrates on the fence then she's for some reason on a street corner and her skirt gets blown up and she keeps spilling that damn milkshake and then there's a car that bounces and she's writhing around on that then she's licking the milkshake off her and agh!

Trust me, greased-up, ass cracked out kelis is much much better.

Did Twitney just get married?

"Jerry, I'm in trouble!"

"George, where the hell are you, man?"

"I dunno...somewhere in Vegas...got so drunk...oh, and I married Britney Spears and I dunno how the hell I did it!"

"[pause]Uncle Leo?"

"Jerry? Bottom of my heart? Rot in hell! [hangs up]"

"Eh, that's a shame."

So...any chance the honeymoon video will go online? I mean, I get enough Paris Hilton spam as it is.

If true, that's hilarious. How drunk was she?

Hee! Seriously, I live about 30 minutes or so from her hometown. That guy she married goes to my college and his name is so damn familiar. I'm pretty sure he also went to high school with a few guys I know. I'm surprised I didn't hear this sooner, especially how word gets out like wildfire about stuff like this in the town I live in. I can't wait to find out what his friends have to say about this! My guess is that it's a publicity stunt. I just can't see them to be capable of functoining enough to go out and get a marriage license and then to the chapel. Not to mention without someone thinking there was anything seriously wrong with that picture.

That said, I don't like her video.

Actually, when I learned about this, I thought more of a famous "Friends" scene:

"Well, hello Mrs. Alexander!"
"Hello, Mr. Spears!"

I think everyone around her pretty much have to go along with what she wants. It sounds like one of those drunken mistakes. The dancer she was with went back to his pregnant wife just a month ago, so she's probably pretty messed up about that, plus her album sales (at 2 million) are pretty bad considering who she is. In fact, I think Hillary Duff's album is selling better--that would be enough to drive someone to drink. It's all pretty sad really. She seems to be going down the Drew Barrymore road of relationships.

No, no, no, they went to the church first, then were told they couldnt marry without a license so they had to then go to city hall then back to the chapel. These 2 idiots had some serious time to call off the "joke" as her people are calling it. I like what Campbell Brown said on the morning show today best, something to the fact that Brit has been jealous of all the press Justin has been getting with Cameron Diaz and decided this was the best way to steal his thunder. Even the guy from People she was interviewing thought that was a great theory!

On topic, some crazy rock band has remade "Darling Nikki" by Prince (I think that was the name of the song) SFC, it's awful. There are only a handful of songs that I think shouldnt be remade. That is one of them.

Word Infinity! Somebody was sober enough to do the paperwork. Twit!

The Foo Fighters. I agree, the song is disgusting and I can't believe some of the lines are allowed to be on the radio. Plus it's just not....musical.

Apparently, Britney's already back to her single status

See Here

Haha. Jokes.

Anyway, when is Britney bringing out a new video? I'm getting mighty sick of seeing Madonna gyrating on the floor. She ruins a perfectly good cheesy pop video with her gap-toothed presence.

How very Ross and Rachel of them.

Saw this on the news last night. I think this is hilarious. I'm still convinced she was on something, she may have not been drunk but high as a frickin kite. Jesus P Christ. Well as of tomorrow she's an unmarried woman.

Justin must have had a heart attack when he heard the news. When she kissed Madonna he looked ready to punch someone so I can't imagine what his reaction was to this. *cackles* I want a Justin quote, which may end up being more hilarious than the whole situation. And I imagine Britney's first quote to be "We were just having a little fuuuun!" *snort*

So is there a video for Toxic yet? It's also official that I can't stand Me Against the Music anymore. No.more.

The Making The Video for Toxic will premiere on January 13.

Justin and Christina are probably laughing their asses off right now.

I still like "Me Against The Music".

[topic] The Foo Fighters remade "Darling Nikki"?!?!? That's sacriledge, pure and simple.

Get that Britney chick some new PR management/people, STAT. Whatever she's doing, it ain't workin'.

I love the Foo Fighters. I respect them and hell, I even love Dave Grohl. However there is a very fine line between love and hate and these guys are inching towards it. No one, I repeat, no one should ever remake a Prince song. I don't care how old the song is, don't touch it. There should be a listing of artists and songs that should never be remade.(Led Zepplin, Prince, Stevie Wonder, etc. I can't tell you how many artists I wish I could line up and bitchslap because of this.)
As for the Britney fiasco, she's dying for publicity any shape or form. She can't outsing Christina, she lacks Justin's credibility, and having Madonna in her video showed how much talent she truly lacked. I'm waiting for the Playboy photospread to appear soon. Y'all know that with all that she's been wearing now, it's inevitable.


And I will be rolling my eyes to see what she ripped off from Madonna and Janet Jackson.

OK, about the Un-Honeymoon in Vegas,
if this was all a joke, couldn't Britney or Jason say to the other, "hah, you just got punk'd!"..or better yet, have the preacher say it after he removes his disguise and reveals he's Ashton Kutcher?
Or maybe she wanted some fantasy that she was marrying Justin in Vegas after all?
Whatever it is, she is in no shape to kickoff a concert tour if she's going off the deep end like this. I don't know if you could compare this to Mariah Carey's TRL striptease, but maybe Christina Aguilera was right when she claimed Britney was a "lost soul".

A drunken quickie Vegas wedding being her cry for help?


They're going to have to revise that program about shortest celebrity weddings now. Speaking of, VH1 was showing All Access: Britney vs. Christina tonight. Britney's boobs, Christina's clothes, funny stuff. They said that to the general public the two are pretty much interchangeable. And that probably gnaws at them both.

Her album has shipped 2 million copies (according to Rueters it's only sold 1.6 million), which would be great if she was somebody else. Kelly Clarkson has also hit 2 million and Hilary Duff 2.4 million. Even That's What I Call Music vol. 14 has outsold her.

I've always thought that Madonna looked like Mr. Peanut in that video.

Hee Gloworm! That's my first needing a new keyboard laugh here at TWoP. Not sure why it was so funny, but she does indeed seem very Hans Moleman salty, plus the cane and general decrepitness. To cover all the bases, I usually refer to her as the Hag.

Britney was so on something during that little stunt. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise, what a crackpot. No more videos, please!

Ain't working? I've seen this story on virtually every news programme over the past few days. Say what you want about Britney, but one thing she knows how to do is generate publicity.



I would take anything that Christina has to say with a pinch of salt. From a recent interview:

Please send this out to all record companies so that no one will ever make this mistake again.



And that'll be another way for Britney to keep her name in everyone's mouth.

Texas actually did a pretty good cover of Prince's Take Me With You. I like it, which says a lot because its one of my most favorite Prince songs and I normally despise covers.


Hee, I was just thinking that. And I believe Christina when she says Britney's a lost soul. I don't see Christina as being a liar whereas Britney has been caught in numerous lies. God, Britney is so pathetic.

I have it and minus about two or three songs, the cd has actually grown on me. It's not bad. She hooked up with Raphael Saddiq which is a good thing. I hear her next single will be the one she did with Nas. I'm disappointed because that song is one of the ones that sucks.

I know some of you are fans of this group, so I thought you'd like to know this from E!Online

Woo! I'm glad she chose this as her new single. I wonder what the video will be like. Hee. She should make a video for "Touch of My Hand." That'd be funny.



Thank God, I say. I will never forgive these guys after they went on Star Search and acted like pompous assholes.

damn....my sister is going to have a cow.

I think Hustler is more fitting (no pun intended). In the meantime, isn't there a pole in some strip joint with her name on it?

now that britney can fully relate to drunken indiscretions i doubt she'd be too quick to bring up that incident any more.

So that's why all the teeny boppers was keening and wailing on the radio today......

Good riddance, I say. It's time for the next boy group to surface.

I don't think it's true. The day after I heard about B2K splitting they were on wireimage signing some new management deal. It sounds like their old manager got a little pissed.

They've been around for six years? Man.

I never really liked them. Always reminded me of 4 (or how ever many there are of them) little Sisqos to me. And what has Sisqo been up to? He was doing well. Then he just disappeared.

Topic: That Blu Cantrall video has definitely become less blue.
And they've finally put the Maroon 5 Harder to Breathe video on commercial channels in the UK . Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. At least I can oggle at Adam some more. Though I'm leaning more towards the drummer these days.

And he (Ryan Dusick, the drummer) is so fucking hot in person!



Maybe the first three letters of the name of that channel can answer that for you. ;o)

Speaking of Sigur Ros, I love them. I remember when I saw them on Last Call With Carson Daly sometime last year performing Untitled #1. I was so mesmerized that my eyes started welling up with water.

Sigur Ros is great shagging music. My favourite one is the one I always thought went "It'syou-oooo" but on looking up the lyrics its actually "Tjuuuuuuu". I'm such an idiot to think it was a little bit of English.

I saw that picture on MTV. Only 3 of the group are under new management. The lead singer is embarking on a solo career.

What Blu Cantrell video was that? It looks like she abandoned the US market to be famous overseas.

I'm just kind of curious as to which everyone thinks are the best/most clever/interesting/funniest music videos? I'm a dork and I download my favorite music videos online. I'll share my thoughts...

Jamiroquai, "Virtual Insanity." Everyone thinks that video is cool. I watch it trying to figure out how the hell they did that.

Prodigy, "Smack My Bitch Up." The video kind of makes me feel drunk and angry but the way it's shot is really cool. The ending was pretty interesting the first time I saw it too. The song gets me pumped.

Foo Fighters, "Big Me." I miss those old-school Mentos commercials. This video is a short but funny parody.

Redman, "I'll Bee Dat!" Okay, the first few times I saw the part with the girl on the bike, that just cracked my shit up!

Micheal Jackson, "Beat It" and "Bad." Good songs. Good choreography. Funny clothes.

Blur, "Coffee & T.V." The milk carton is really cute.

Britney Spears, "I'm A Slave For You." Um....

I have a lot of videos I really like but those are some good ones, to me.

Here You go! Its the second paragraph that explains how it was made.

Word to the Blur video, the milk carton and his strawberry milk girlfriend are the cutest.

I'll add "Goin' Fishin" by Weezer, cause, you know, the Muppets rule.
