India Arie bad mouthing pop stars?

Don't be offended this is all MY opinion... Am I the only one who thinks the "telephone" video is going a bit too far?
I'm not referring to the abstract nature of the video ... I'm talking about the IMAGERY - the unspoken back story, the language the message

I agree gaga is being her image .. I dig her creative mind But still ... Thers a such thing as socially irresponsible... I'm just sayin.

Its not long before somebody does a straight NAKED video. Not like Alanis morrisette "thank you india" like NAKED dancing around. LOLhahaha

Let's be CLEAR! I know it gaga M.O. - I don't live under a rock. And I get that a lot of work put into it. I'm talking social responsability

There's an artist ever 10 years who pushes the envelope ... but its bout to fall off the Table. When is it too far?

I respect the creative mind but disagree with the "choices" as a dish meant to be served for mass consumption ..

Crazy to me that the Dark, underbelly, s shock at all cost thing is a TREND like asymetrical hair and big shoulder jackets .Slippery slope!

Love life. 6 year old at the store old her mom say who's your favorite singer

<b>This girl is CUTE! She says "india arie" "aaaaaand?" Her mom promots her she says "beyonce "aaaand" her mom says again "Lady gaga"</b>

Mom turns to me and says "but I won't let her watch the "telephone" lolhahahaahha! Haha! Tooo Funny.

gaga is always "straight naked" in her videos.

Didn't read the thing before I posted. How is Telephone taking it to far, though? It's a music video and you're not supposed to sit back and over-analyze the damn thing. Those who do over-analyze it are most likely of age and old enough for it not to be considered inappropriate.
nomoneyfun 22nd-Mar-2010 06:18 am (UTC)
lol. because music videos exist in a vacuum and not in a culture where ideals are being reinforced by the videos and idk, EVERYTHING ELSE.

what's wrong with being naked?! underneath our clothes we are totally naked!
102bb 22nd-Mar-2010 06:13 am (UTC)
i'm wearing clothes underneath my clothes
scheisse 22nd-Mar-2010 06:15 am (UTC)
what are you wearing underneath the clothes that are underneath your clothes?
x_sweetsurprise 22nd-Mar-2010 06:16 am (UTC)
you just blew my mind.

hrhobo 22nd-Mar-2010 07:01 am (UTC)
underneath your clothes there's an endless story.
mental_picture 22nd-Mar-2010 06:16 am (UTC)
Excuse you, but underneath my clothes I'm an endless story.
nymosy 22nd-Mar-2010 06:24 am (UTC)
it is bad and shameful because naked bodies are the cause of unwed teenage mothers. THE DIRECT CAUSE.

watermeloncholy 22nd-Mar-2010 06:14 am (UTC)
This is hard to follow.

Like a stream of consciousness assignment.
ihearthornton 22nd-Mar-2010 06:22 am (UTC)
These were her Twitter updates
watermeloncholy 22nd-Mar-2010 06:26 am (UTC)
This makes sense.

she's not really though

she is still popular and makes music, just not in the mainstream
trixx_r4_kidz 22nd-Mar-2010 06:33 am (UTC)

Too bad nobody cares who India.Arie is anymore. Trying to stay relevant much?
songbirdapostle 22nd-Mar-2010 06:20 am (UTC)
I usually don't like you but IA
the_sofa_king 22nd-Mar-2010 07:12 am (UTC)
anyone who cares about r+b music has no respect for that kesha whore.
brazenflight 22nd-Mar-2010 01:04 pm (UTC)
I care about R&B music and I've never cared about her or her stupid songs about her nappy hair.
nikim 22nd-Mar-2010 04:34 pm (UTC)
I care about r&b but I couldn't give 2 shits about india arie.
also_loled_irl 22nd-Mar-2010 06:17 am (UTC)
she releases regular albums that people who listen to neo-soul and r&b know of and listen to, so i don't think she needs to try that hard to be relevant
crayoned 22nd-Mar-2010 06:28 am (UTC)
shut up
swimbathedrown 22nd-Mar-2010 07:53 am (UTC)
you've been saying a lot of dumb shit lately.
keep going. i need to cringe more.
also_loled_irl 22nd-Mar-2010 06:15 am (UTC)
her voice is so stunning
102bb 22nd-Mar-2010 06:16 am (UTC)
I LOVE THIS SONG
also_loled_irl 22nd-Mar-2010 06:18 am (UTC)
It's one of those songs where you just have to stop doing everything and let it wash over you
babysinclair 22nd-Mar-2010 06:32 am (UTC)
We used this song for stretching at Band Camp.
vag_breath 22nd-Mar-2010 06:45 am (UTC)
this song is seriously amazing

dioratwar 22nd-Mar-2010 06:15 am (UTC)
i can't take this seriously. too many typos.
ohhkathleen 22nd-Mar-2010 06:48 am (UTC)
and misspelled words.
fufu_thing 22nd-Mar-2010 06:15 am (UTC)
Well, she's not the average girl from your video so it's understandable that she'd feel this way.
askmehowifeel 22nd-Mar-2010 06:18 am (UTC)
It's understandable that she's upset about nudity since her worth is not determined by the price of her clothes.
watermeloncholy 22nd-Mar-2010 06:24 am (UTC)
Well, it makes perfect sense since no matter what she's wearing, she will always be India Arie.

I just want to post this badass video of people dancing in the streets to Telephone and I usually hate fan vids.

abrokencompass 22nd-Mar-2010 06:21 am (UTC)
ngl they're pretty damn good. I love the random bystanders just watching.

new_caprica 22nd-Mar-2010 06:38 am (UTC)
wow! this is crazy... they're great dancers. kind of more exciting than the dancing in the real video tbh lol
boku_no_hanabi 22nd-Mar-2010 06:40 am (UTC)
I love it but they destroy a blackberry at the end. NOT CUTE.

ryanchai 22nd-Mar-2010 06:51 am (UTC)
why couldn't gaga have just done a video like this? just choreography and stuff and not breaking the song into segments? it would've been so much better
dovedale 22nd-Mar-2010 06:53 am (UTC)
anthony kaye! he's a dancer for a lot of popular artists.
portmanteaux 22nd-Mar-2010 07:54 am (UTC)
That guy in the loose stripey shirt/hammer pants really needs to rethink his clothing choices through this video.

This is awesome, though!
infidelkast 22nd-Mar-2010 08:00 am (UTC)
I wish I was friends with everyone in this video.
