Now let me say my disclaimer first –
I’m not a Beyonce Stan! This is a true and honest review of the CD/Videos. I’m not a
paid reviewer. I’m just a little (we’ll pretend I’m little) ole celebrity opinion blogger who
picked up the CD/Videos and decided to review it for my site.
I decided to review the CD because of
the BOSS ass way she dropped it; no promotion, no warning, just BOOM BITCHES!!! DROPS THE MIC AND WALKS OFF STAGE with that How you like me now attitude!
Then there’s the clip I watched on
iTunes of Bey talking about why she did this CD with a video for every
song, and I honestly felt and understood where she was coming from. I feel the same way about writing. I can see a situation and think of a whole
scenario/chapter in my head. The characters just start talking. So I was like this chick is serious about her craft and she should be cuz she's good at it. I don’t think this CD is commercial at all. It is her straight from her heart.
I mean she bamboozled the hell outta me. I am not a Beyonce STAN but she came in and pulled my drowse to the side and said take this and like it!!! I feel
like I looked in her eyes and she just sucked me in. I was like damn what did
this heffa do to me!!! I’m not even a stan what the fuck is really going on. So
on to the review. I hope you read the whole post and leave comments.
Please know this. The USA is a democracy but my blog is my Queendom and ignorance will not be tolerated. We can respectfully disagree but hateful, offensive and vulgar comments will not be tolerated and it takes a lot to offend me!
Track 1 – Pretty Hurts Directed by Melina
Matsoukas starring Harvey Keitel
·
Something about this song spoke to my lil ole
soul. You see the young ladies getting ready for a beauty pageant and what they
do to feel pretty to make others think they are pretty. You see scenes of young
ladies eating cotton balls, binge and purge, fighting with other
contestants. The song is great the VIDEO
is powerful.
·
Track 2 – Ghost
Directed by Pierre Debusschere
·
This was short lil song and it reminded me of
Kanye’s Runaway. Not in sound but feel of the video.
·
Track 3 - Haunted Directed by Jonas Akerlund
·
So remember all the Illuminati talk? So yeah
that’s all I have to say about this video. I do like the song. I wont be
surprised if this beat is on someone’s commercial real soon!
·
Track 4 – Drunk
In Love Directed by Hype Williams starring Jay
Z
·
Bey’s and Jay on the beach. She gyrating around.
(I bet that sand was hell to get out her ass but I bet Jay didn’t mind getting
it out) She get a little gangsta in it with the Tude and facial
expressions. The song is ok. I did like
seeing another side of her; free and loose. She threw in a few belly dancing
hand movements too lol
·
Track 5 – Blow
Directed by Hype Williams starring Solange and Ingrid Burley
·
I loved this video and the song. It will be one
of my repeaters. One of the songs I play in the morning to get that “pep” in my
step. This will be a club banger TRUST
ME. It will make it to radio with a little editing for the “turn this cherry
out” lyrics.
Track 6 – No
Angel directed by @lilinternet
starring what I will call the Houston Allstars – Kirko Bangz, BunB, Chad Jr, Willie D, Lil Keke, Scarface, Slim Thug,
Trae tha Truth, Paul Wall, and Z-Bo
·
I honestly think this was a salute to what I
call the Houston Allstars or all the artists from Houston. It looks like it was
filmed right in the hood of Houston. Bey even goes to the club – da strip club
that is. It’s not raunchy though. It shows a snippet of pole action and I mean
a small snippet at that.
Track 7 – Yonce directed by Ricky Saiz
starring Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman, Joan
Smalls
·
This is Sasha Fierce not Beyonce!!!
Track 8 – Partition directed by Jake
Nava starring JayZ and The Crazy Horse Dancers
·
So you know that fantasy that every girl has of
being that seductive sexy stripper. Yeah this is the video to that fantasy.
Track 9 – Jealous
– directed by Beyonce, Francesco
Carrozin, and Todd Tourso
·
The way it starts out you would think its about
Jay staying out all night and her wanting to do the same thing but in my eyes
she’s saying she’s jealous of us everyday people who can live their life
without the scrutiny of every single thing being criticized or inspected under
a microscope. Now yall might watch the video and see something different but
what I wrote is what I interpret it to be.
·
Track 10 – Rocket
directed by Beyonce, Ed Burke and Bill
Kirsten
·
This is a sexy lil number about sex. Its full of
visual innuendoes. I don’t care much for the video but the song is a catchy lil tune.
Track 11 – Mine directed by Pierre
Debusschere starring Drake
·
Now this song disappointed me. I was expecting a lot more from it seeing as
Drake is on it and that practically garauntees that it’s a double hit. But
sadly not so.
·
Track 12 – XO directed by Terry Richardson starring Jourdan Dunn and Jessica White
·
Remember how popular Katy Perry’s Fireworks was. Well this song will be that
popular or more. It will be the background music for any commercial showing FUN
whether it be casino, Vegas, or any camera company. It has that look and feel to it. I liked the video and the song.
·
Track 13 – Flawless
direct Jake Nava
·
Remember when she told you bitches to BOW DOWN
and yall was like fuck Beyonce who is she to tell us to bow down. In this video she tells you exactly why yall
asses need to bow down. Let me say it
for her she’s rich, pretty, married to one of the richest man in the gang
besides the fact she just aint his lil wife she came with enough to the table
to eat alone and never hungry. She aint
new to this game she grew up in the game and worked her ass off to get where
she at. And lets see another Queen drop a CD like she did.
·
Track 14 Super Power directed by Jonas Akerlund starring Kelly Rowland and
Michelle Williams, Pharrell, and Luke James
·
This is Sasha Fierce at the ThunderDome. Bey is
letting yall know that nothing will break up the bond her Kelly and Michelle
have so stop with the utter bullshit and pettiness saying they fighting and not
friends. They will be FAMILY and LOYAL forever.
Somethig some of you heffas no absolutely nothing about.
·
Track 15 Heaven
directed by Beyonce, Todd Tourso starring
Ashley Everett
·
This is an ode to the baby she lost.; kinda sad
but I guess she needed to get it out and off her spirit.
·
Track 16 Blue
directed Beyonce, Ed Burke and Bill
Kirsten
·
This one is an ode to Blue Ivy. And I better not
read not one ignorant ass comment about this baby hair not being combed or that
she’s ugly, I will put rucks on your ass through the computer. Keep your ignorance to yourself. That baby is
two and she don’t need her damn hair combed and she got more money sitting in
her trust fund than most of us will make in 10 life times. (I will now step down from my soapbox. My
blog my thoughts and opinions! Remember that and don’t gets besides yourselves
in the comments)
·
Track 17 Grown
Woman directed by Jake Nava starring
Tina Knowles, Solange Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Ebony Rittenhouse
·
The final track is letting yall know she grown
and not to be fucked with and quit with the shenangins! This is a cute video
full of home footage of Bey, Kelly and a baby Solange.
