Erykah Badu Disrobes In Public For Video Shoot
By Robert Paul Reyes
"The Dallas singer's (Erykah Badu) new video, for her single 'Window Seat,' features her disrobing in Dealey Plaza, then falling to the ground, nude, as if she'd been shot in the head." Dallas Morning News
My reaction: Yawn!
Here we go again, another female pop singer resorting to images of sex and violence to sell albums. If it weren't for Badu's disrobing in public to film a video, nobody would be talking about her.
More than a few music critics are cowardly scum, and I bet they will praise Badu for her "avant garde and cutting edge video."
The reality is that Badu's publicity stunt is born out of desperation, and there is no way in hell I will buy her album.
Why doesn't Angelina Jolie disrobe in public, why does it always have to be an ugly woman? Don't send me any nasty emails, but stripping in public, Badu is inviting people to comment on her looks.
Enough about this Badu non-entity, let me find a more worthwhile subject to write about.
