Not sure if this one will have the club banging capital of "Just Dance" or "Poker Face"...or "Love Game" or "Paparazzi", but Lady Gaga's sophomore effort will be dope. Bad Romance-or is it Poker Face- has dropped and Alejandro has been leaked, but this jam takes the cake thus far.
It's a (very) reduced effort, sonically, but you're somehow not left with a half-assed feeling (probably because we know that any crazy ass thing she does is deliberate as hell).
Beyonce has reportedly postponed her show in Malaysia. Why? Because they won't let her show skin. Shallow? Hell no! Even though I'm a major proponent for cultural relativism, I side with Beyonce's right to show her bootylicious.
If it's true that B won't perform because they are denying her freedom to bare arms..legs and boobs, I support her campaign. Wholeheartedly. Taking Beyonce without the padded leotards, super high heels and sex-inspired dance moves is like ordering a burger and leaving it on the table.
The issue really lies within Malaysia's own political discourse. On one hand, the younger crowd wants this modern, pop vixen to do what she does, to replicated what they've seen on Youtube, purchased on iTunes (haha..purchased on iTunes..j/k) and to generally rock their world. On the other hand, conservative country leaders would prefer their world go unrocked; they allow western pop culture to enter the country only after being filtered through orthodoxy.
Beyonce really has no obligation to compromise her artistic license to make up for a country's intra-cultural dinner table squabbles. Sasha Fierce is a careful curated image that doesn't belong on the stage wearing a tunic and leggings. JS (jussayin!)
Imagine this opening number in one of Whitney Houston's old long-as-hell show dresses
Besides, WWLGD...?
After the Video Phone collabo, the two should get up with Judy Jetson and make a better/badder Destiny's Child.
