"Acapella" - videoclip
.
Today I made an update in the current pop divas' videoclips and got very sad. It seems Lady Gaga on one hand inspired people in music showbuisness, but on another started a trend of more agressive and invasive clips. Christina Aguilera followed her with "Not Myself Tonight" - a video coresponding with Madonna's "Human Nature", including quite shocking sado-masochistic, lesbian and group sex references. Rihanna introduced futuristic clothes and cyberpunk hair-does, which is very refreshing. She also seems to feel very good as a mature woman, not a girl, enjoying her beautiful body. She is grown up and interesting. However sometimes she lacks class a lot. All those girls appear to sell their music by doing cheap erotic show. They introduce more and more shocking elements which gets a bit confusing. An enjoyable entairtainment turns into porno film introduction. One gets scared of what may come next.

Finally I came across a beautiful videoclip of Kelis - "Acapella". The song is far better than those of the girls mentioned earlier and this makes whole lot of a difference. Kelis is not particularly shy about showing her beautiful body, but in a different context. Luckily there are still clever women in showbuisness who can save the planet.
.
As for me the next season belongs to Kelis and she has all the potential to defeat the pop divas including Lady Gaga if the last one doesn't come up with better songs and some kind of a valuable message. Constant references to what Madonna did in the 80s and 90s and fashion variations might be not that attractive to the audience any more. Although one has got to appreciate her amazing work, talent, ambition, impressive impact on popculture and not diminish her achievements.
