I’ve always liked Shakira because she’s a smart lady, which is why it upsets me that she made the dumbass decision to do this video. And by “video” I mean “excuse to see how much you can make a black lady and a Latina lady look alike.” And the sad thing is, I legitimately couldn’t tell at times who was who, which is great considering the last thing I would ever want is for Shakira to become Beyonce. Although it was funny seeing Beyonce try to belly dance next to the woman who like invented belly dancing (for Americans at least). It was also funny and incredibly awkward watching the both of them butt-hump the wall like there’s no tomorrow. What was not funny was the utter lack of Shakira doing the robot. Boo, whore.
In the video’s defense, the song itself sucks so the video may as well also, so kudos on that. Either way, I’ve learned a valuable lesson over the past two days. Just because you have two (or three in the case of “Give It To Me”) world-wide superstars who could each buy your soul and together could buy two of your souls do a song/vid together doesn’t mean that there will be any kind of big budget on that video. Or budget at all. Which is funny considering it goes against all logic and history itself (Michael and Janet’s “Scream” is still the most expensive music video in the history of time). So all this just goes to show, everyone is fucking insane. Discuss.
