My Fav Destiny's Child/Beyonce Videos

I decided to subscribe to the Beyonce Channel on youtube (ugggh I'm such a dork)
It took some time, but yesterday I finally realized how flyyyyyy of a woman Beyonce has become. Yes she is everywhere, Yes she is a horrible actress, Yes I'm tired of seeing her on the front cover of EVERY magazine, Yes I'm tired of hearing Get Me Bodied at clubs, weddings, baby showers and Bah Mitzfahs. But Mrs. Beyonce Knlowes-Carter is ONE hard working woman. So I decided to take a journey throughout the years.

Here are the links to some of my favorite Destiny's Child videos. Take a look!

Bills, Bills, Bills
Get On The Bus
Say My Name
Bootylicious
Nasty Girl

My all time favorite was a difficult decision between 2 Destiny's Child singles off the platinum selling album Destiny Fulfilled. Drum roll please......

1st Runner up is Soldier How cute is Solange and her big pregnant belly? And who doesn't like Weezy & T.I. on a track?

AND THE WINNER IS (I'm too hype about this) Lose My Breath
I love the choreography in this video. I mean who didn't think the whole dance off concept was HOT???

And this video right here is just for kicks. (I don't ever remember Sesame Street being this fly when I was watching)


Now moving on to the DIVA extrodinaire--Mrs. Beyonce Knowles. Here are a few of my favorite Beyonce picks. Take a look!

Crazy In Love
Me, Myself, and I
Get Me Bodied (Even my mother loves this video)
Irreplaceable (I love when she takes his chain & jacket, Classic!)
Upgrade U
If I Were A Boy

Here we go again. My all time favorite was a difficult decision between 2 Beyonce singles. One off the multi-platinum selling album Dangerously In Love and the other from the Pink Panther Soundtrack. Regardless she looks beautiful in both. Drum roll please......

1st Runner up is Check Up On It Minus the ghetto-like patting of the horrible looking braids, this video is flawless. The entirely pink video set/wardrobe and very sexy dance routine are both on point (Although her back up dancers usually out shine her :o(

AND THE WINNER IS (Again too hype) Baby Boy I love this video. It reminds me of a hot summer sexscapade in the tropics. (No I've never had one of those) I love going on vacation and this video seems to take me there. It mixes glamour, grit & grime with fantasy, lust and desire. Let's not forget the perfect wardrobe picks and near flawless dance routine.

Now there are other extensive lists that categorize Beyonce songs as if they were senior superlatives for example:

Best Fashion Show Song -Rock Star/Dangerously In Love
Best Drag Queen Anthem -Get Me Bodied/B-Day
Best Inspirational Women's Anthem -Independent Women(I know its not a B album)/Survior
Best Love Song (and by love I mean making it )-Yes/Dangerously In Love

Swagger/Lyric Jacking-Beyonce Style

As much as I love to hate Beyonce I usually give her the benefit of the doubt. But even this is a ultimate low B! How do you swagger/lyric jack a 21 year old girl?
Wasn't this same issue addressed in Dream Girls when Jamie Foxx's character jacked Effie for those songs? Tisk Tisk Tisk Matthew Knowles and crew. Shaking my head!

More music from BC Jean (Why do I want to call her Bille Jean?)


I actually like the gruffiness in BC Jean's voice. I tried searching for other music from this sweetie pie, but I couldn't find much. Check out BC Jean online right here (Note the piano keys on her page are creative at first but become quite annoying after 5 minutes)

Single Ladies-- New Beyonce

I'm not thrilled!

Girl Power--Beyonce If I Were A Boy--New Video

Beyonce - If I were A Boy (New)
Uploaded by Le-Tour-2Lor

This song is reminiscent of Ciara's Like A Boy & Madonna's What It Feels Like For A Girl.

These are all great songs!

Top Video Hairstyles That Should Never Be Duplicated

Cristina Aguilera- Dirty Instead of looking "Dirty" it just looks homeless. I would imagine this is the pile of mess my hair would form into if I ever (God forbid) became homeless and didn't have a comb. We've seen Cristina with plenty of different looks, some appealing and others quite awkward. But the slight dreadlocks, blonde/black mix, with cookie crumbs, lent, and dirt all packed in tight is definitely not one of her more suitable hair styles. But then again I'm sure Ms. Aguilera wasn't trying to appease my tastes in hair when she decided to go this route.So ladies, exoticists, bohemians, artsy peeps etc. stop trying to go for this look. Cristina can style her hair like this one day and wear a strawberry blonde bob the next. And well you guys are kinda stuck with it if you decide to go the messy dread route, so let's leave this one for the video. (Please note I love locks. I intend on locking my hair someday)

Aaliyah-More Than A Woman R.I.P. Ms. Aaliyah!~ But I have a bone to pick with women who are still wearing their hair in the long phony pony with the little raised "bump" at the top. Aaliyah could pull off this hair style because after all, she's Aaliyah. lol No seriously she had a team of stylists (notice more than one) who could blend her hair with the texture of the ponytail and who could create an entire look surrounding this simple yet somehow elaborate hairstyle. In addition, I'm sure the creative (genius) director who created the looks for the shoot did not intend for the style to be worn as everyday casual hair wear. (I like coining new phrases) Ladies, let's retire this style and leave it as one of the many video hairstyles that need not be duplicated.

Amy Winehouse-Tears Dry On Their Own I know this picture is a bit blurry. Amy, I understand you like the 60s-70s Mod-Big-hair-look but for once please wear your hair like a normal person. If we could somehow lock her in the bathroom with only a flatiron or simple curling iron, some Garnier Fructis smoothing hair serum and a few clip in extensions, I think we might have ourselves a new (less suicidal/depressing/drug addict) look for Ms. Winehouse. You know, something a little more presentable like this.... Thatta girl, there ya go :)

Ashanti-Body On Me We all know Ashanti's style is kinda hit or miss. Sometimes she hits the target dead on and sometimes she misses completely. I didn't want to jump all over the bun/Pocahontas braid she sports at the end of the Body On Me video because that overlaps with my number 1 "worst video hair style to duplicate". This hair style is exceptionally fly in the video. I can dig the three braid action on one side with the smoothed hair on the other side to give it the Mohawk look. I also like the idea of the loose curls and exaggerated swoop bang. But, in the wrong hands and on the wrong person this can be a complete Diana Ross MESS. Ladies please do not go to the local hair store and buy a pound of hair and try attaching it to your head. Once again this was a look created for a video not a night out at the club. I can guarantee if you wear this much fake hair out to the club it will get caught in a hook on someones jacket, or possibly in someones earring. :o) Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!


Last but not least, Ms./Mrs. Beyonce Knowles Carter ...whatever! Upgrade U That braid is a definite NO NO. I remember when I was little my mother would try to put one big braid in my hair and I would break out and have a fit. I would roll all over the floor, kick and scream, cry, throw chairs etc because I knew how absolutely stupid I would look with one long thick braid growing out of the crown of my head. I have naturally thick curly hair so one big braid was just not an option, unless my mother was planning on intentionally trying to humiliate me. Ok Beyonce, this is fine for the video. I see you in the back seat of the car with gold interior to match your blonde braid. You should have provided a brief disclaimer at the beginning of the video instructing young black girls to not try and duplicate any of the hairstyles in this video. I must admit this is one of the best vids in 2007, but definitely not the best way to upgrade the style of impressionable young women.



If there are any others you can think of please leave a comment letting me know. I'm certain there are other completely offensive hairstyles many of us commoners have tried to pull off, but they just need to be left in the video
