Mon, 10 September 2007  Clad in Barely There Bikini, Britney Spears Did It to Herself Again at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards Earlier during the week and event day, I was watching Britney Spears on YouTube as her handlers wanted us to salivate over her performance at the MTV VMA this year. Well, she did it again this time! An seemingly out-of-touch and out-of-shape Britney appears on the stage where she appears to have lost some of the moves that made her famous in the early days of her dying career. No matter what, she caused a lot of writing, and posting on celebrity blogs, newspaper vignettes and around the watercoolers of America and the world. Britney's performance was supposed to be the most talked about and written about one of the evening. She was supposed to be the highlighted, featured performer for the night. Britney appeared to have disappointed everyone who came to see her and the millions of fans and gawkers at home. She kicked off the show Sunday night with her single, "Gimme More." Spears looked mute for a few seconds. It was like she was not ready for the welcoming cheers. She was not ready to deliver on the hype of the week. She did not sound enthusiastic enough. She was not convincing enough. No matter what, there were some winners at the VMA. Justin Timberlake was the night's big winner with four throphies for male artist of the year and quadruple threat of the year. Rihanna won the well coveted video of the year for "Umbrella," and monster single of the year for "Umbrella." As for Beyonce and Shakira, they won most earthshattering collaboration for "Beautiful Liar." Category: Freaking/Freak/Dancing -- posted at: 9:20 PM |
Sun, 5 February 2006 Parents and principals are banning freak dancing All over the country, parents and high school principals are at arms over the new dance craze which simulates sexual activity on the dance floor. Many of them have never had the chance to be at a dance to witness freak dancing first hand. So they rely on others' report and the lone courageous chaperone's testimonial. Now, one may have to wonder whether these parents have even watched BET, Mundo, and MTV to get an idea of the new dance moves. We also wonder whether they know that some magazines such as Essence and Boston Globe are leading campaigns against what they see as the degradation of the female body on Hip Hop music videos. These days, the impact of the hip hop/music video-based culture takes its toll on families. It causes parents to argue with their daughters. For example, parents have to negotiate whether it is appropriate to let them have body piercings and some gothic tattoos. When it comes to freaking, they may not have enough information to make up their mind. Peer pressure causes many women to wear belly button jewels. It is the continuing quest to be beautiful, popular and hip. We will not provide all the definitions of freaking here.
