Queen of the Video

So, I was talking with a friend on the net right. And this particular friend is a music mogul, among other things, and she keeps me up to date on most things music, and kind of fuels the fire that is my dance. So, she tells me of this new video by Rihanna that's supposed to coming out soon called Disturbia and I immediately think of the movie, which I've never seen because it's scary, and I just don't do scary.
Anywayz, so after about 10 minutes of searching I've heard the song once, and seen a couple of different routines for it, and that's when the music guru finds it, the video is out, in it's entirety. So, I rush over, overjoyed because of the awesome routine by X-Faction(I'm going to have to reveiw them one day) intent on seeing dancing choreography in one of Rihanna's videos, an area in which she has been lacking.
I was confronted with a blond wig and white eyes, and immediately fell in love! As the video progressed I saw multiple shots where choreography could slip in, and they kept me on edge. So, then there was the cameo of those stunner heels, that will most likely be flying off the shelves as soon as the vid airs on tv, but never was there any solid choreo. Only teasers.
The cinematography was great though. I really did like the video as a whole. It actually reminded me of Aaliyah in Queen of the D***ed. When Rihanna turned around in the headdress, it only confirmed the comparison. I'm not sure if Anthony Mandler did this on purpose, or maybe I just look to far into things... but that's why you read right? But, yeah, now comes the msot anticipated... and sometimes dreaded time. I've actually been heavily considering the rating for this video. I thought of a 5 because everything worked together to procure this one mood. I even got a chill down my spine, which can mean 1 of three things, I loved it to death, I was actually afraid, and I hated it. Oh, yeah and it also could mean that when the thermostat here at Washington and Lee says 78 and I can see my breath, it's broken.
But yeah, then I knocked it down to a 3 because of no choreography. Then I thought about it, that's so biased. She should get underscored because of that but not 2 whole points. So, after careful reveiw, and I beleve this has been 21 minutes of deliberation, I've come to the conclusion that Disturbia by Rihanna gets a 4.5. Oh, and by the way she's not scored the same as Lil' Mama because Lil' Mama came out the gate dancing, Rihanna didn't.

Dish!

You dissappointed me Lil Mama, I'm not going to lie. I saw the title, Strike a Pose, and then saw the other title, I'm What it Is, and they struck two different chords in me. One said, crazy dance choreo! I mean, you just come off of America's Best Dance Crew, you've just seen all these dance crews do what you do best, so I mean, you'll undoubtedly have one of them in the video. Strike a Pose... sounds like Fish and Chicks to me... or maybe Kaba Modern. No, I just got Kaba Modern on the brain.

But anyway, then when I saw the second name, I'm What it is I was sure you were going to have Jabawockees come out there and tear it up, seeing as they just won the competition. They're 'what it is'. I was sure that they were going to like jump out of that crowd at any moment, or start dancing on those infamous steps you always tape on.

And then the beat started to actually permeate my thoughts, and get through my expectations. My eyes opened and I saw some throwback gear, a glimpse of a mohawk, spandex, and T-Pain. I think in total I saw 9 seconds of dancing.... oh, yeah, plus the posing. I'm sorry little momma but on the UKUW you get 3 pieds. 1 because of the way it was shot, great colors and themes, very professional, another because I kind of liked the mood and the actual words, and the last only because I had expectations in the first place. because you received a rating of 3 pieds... I'll be waiting for the next big thing from you... don't dissapoint.
