  • Christmas Recap and the slaughter of greatness

    Merry after Christmas to all!!!  I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday, got lots of time off from work and most of their Christmas wishes came true.  As I am just getting back to work myself, I have been checking out my yahoo, concrete loop, and such.  I saw that Ne-Yo has a new video out, Go On Girl I think it is.  On the sit e they used a you tube version, so it isn't opening on my end at work, so I decided to look for it on Daily Motion.  As I am scanning through the videos listed under Ne-Yo, I come across a video with Ne-Yo and Sarah Connor entitled Sexual Healing.  My interest being piqued, and me being a huge Ne-Yo fan, I decided to check it out.  Already assuming it was going to be awesome, my fantasy was crushed when I actually started watching the video:

    learly, I wasn't ready to view the slaughter of this legendary song, no matter how humorous it may have been.  I will say that Ne-Yo's parts in the song were enjoyable, but even he could not save this rendition. in my eyes, from it's demise.  The lack of soul, the overcompensation of eroticism, and the lackluster vocal capabilities of the female counterpart successfully made this video the most Hilarious/Depressing H.A.M. (Hot Ass Mess) that I have had the pleasure of witnessing in '07, and until I can think of something else as equally dissatisfying, in the span of my lifetime.  It is one thing to create a party song that is supposed to have no soul, a remix, or even sample another artists work.  But to pretend to aptly recreate a song and lose the entire aura of the work is down right preposterous.  Then the video is the final torturous act that choked the life out of a legend.  So, I had to post this in all of its horror for you all to view.  Enjoy at your own risk.

    That was so disturbing to me I forgot to post a few Christmas pics.  I didn't take many this year on account of I really kept forgetting.  And I even have to admit the lack of Christmasiness (gotta love my word creation  :)  ) in them.  But here they are:

    This is enough for today.  I'm out!
