finds Lady Gaga and Beyonce's 'Telephone' video offensive--fair or foul?
India.Arie took to Twitter last week to voice her displeasure with Lady Gaga and Beyonce's racy music video "Telephone." On Twitter, Arie calls the video "socially irresponsible" and wonders aloud how far people will continue to push the envelope.India Arie tweeted...
"Its not long before somebody does a straight NAKED video,"
"Let's be CLEAR! I know it gaga M.O. - I don't live under a rock. And I get that a lot of work put into it. I'm talking social responsibility,"
"I respect the creative mind but disagree with the "choices" as a dish meant to be served for mass consumption,"
india arie video lyrics
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the
india arie
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
but,Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicone I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arie
.. Guitar is India Arie's style ..
Your music is so meaningful and i really like u alot and i hate telephone cause it brings alot of negative impact for child and youth...within the music video there's a lot of hidden message in it! She's so evil! I used to be her fans but now no more (after watching all the analysis about her music videos on youtube)
ReplyDeleteI used to like GaGa but now no more cause it contains alot of negative impact for children and youth.Besides that, there's a lot of hidden message in it.
