Video Collabo: B vs LG

Booty shorts and Divas.

Beyonce has created so many images for herself that it is hard to imagine her in a different light, but they managed to do so in this video. The overall feel is flat, and this format has already been done by Beyonce ("Check Up On It" anyone?). The most disappointing was the fate that Lady Gaga looked so... normal. If there is one thing that LG does, is challenge the status quo in current pop culture. It seemed like they toned her down so that Beyonce could shine, which defeats the point of having Lady Gaga cameo on the remix - even her verse lacked salt. I saw the quote the LG wanted to "do B", but come one girl, just do you. That's why we all love you, cuz you cray-cray. Normal LG is just a throw away Christina Aguilera.

Beyonce is hella smart though, because she remains the star of the video, which surprised me. I thought for sure LG would steal the show. Overall, I like the video/song, very 90's thanks to Hype Williams, but at the same time, nothing new, nothin to cray-cray, and mos def nothin cutting edge.




Instead I prefer when LG keeps it real, like in her new video: Bad Romance.
