Rhianna -man down video
There has been some controversy over rhi-rhi's new video where in the opening scene she shoots a man dead, the video then flashs back to the previous day and it shows that this man had raped her. Tres depressing man. I love the reggae sound of the song, the lyrics I find are not bad in that she is singing about the remorse she feels about carrying out the act, however some people are unimpressed saying that the video is condoning the use of violence and that she is a role-model etc. What do you think bdss'ers? I personally can not see what all the fuss is about purely because there are so many violent programs on tv, and music video's etc that get shown, we'd need to ban them all! Why kick up a fuss about this one video when everything else is acceptable. You all may disagree, so share please.
Another song that has got people talking is Beyonce's video, Run the world (girls)
Do we really run the world??? Does this song empower women? Myself and my 16 year old nephew were listening to this song together recently and he was adamant that the song was just wrong, he totally disagreed with the message. Another person that strongly disagrees is:
What do you think BDSS'ers? I think she raises some serious points, there is still a lot of work to do! But I do like the beat of the song and I do like the idea of women running the world.
So BDSS'ers do you have any thoughts or opinions on either songs, videos or debates they have stirred up or are you like me just sort of yawn lol! We must not take these music videos so seriously!
