My thoughts (read and post YOURS) | | Okay- I just finished watching TRL Premiere the Christina Aquilera video for her latest song "Beautiful", and let me just say.. I am not a fan, but wow. If Christina did this video as her first single instead of the filth of "Dirrty", I would've bought her album.
But, that is not what I want to discuss here. I'm going off topic, anyways… as I was saying…
I was watching "Beautiful", and I was caught off guard by the beauty, and SUBSTANCE of the video… it had a meaning, it left you really thinking… wanting more. It showed a story.
Recently I felt the same way when I saw the video for another artist I had previously hated with a passion, Justin Timberlake. Now, don't get me wrong, I still hate the guy.. his music never really was my thing, and his attitude has gotten to me more than once, but this video was filmed excellently, and it told a story.. once again, it left you wanting more… it had substance.
In fact, both the songs "Cry Me A River", and "Beautiful" have substance. They aren't just songs put out there for dancing, or songs about how so in love you are.
That is the case with most songs I like nowadays.
Then I went back and listened to some Britney songs. And I started remembering the videos. Well, I am a fan but, I really don't know how I'll take it if we get more songs like "Bombastic Love" on the fourth album. Because Britney has supposed to be evolving her image with this album, and I hate seeing her turned into a joke.
Anyways, I hope Britney comes back stronger than ever. With more grown-up lyrics with real substance. I hope she begins to show her true vocal talent. I also hope to see her take a harder edge, no more Bubblegum pop!!! I'd love to see a cd from Britney with a good mix, like perhaps, Pink's latest cd MissUndaztood.
That's my current opinion of Britney's image musically. What would you like to see in the future? |
