The Latest Date Rape Song...
I know, I know long time no see. Well I'm backkkkkk...again!
So while checking up on all my latest blogs and what not looking for the latest happenings, I come across Kiely Williams, (former member of 3LW and former Disney Channel "Cheetah Girl") video for her new solo single called “Spectacular”. You would think by looking at the title it would be about some glitz and glamor type nonsense, right? Well no it's not. It's pretty much being described as the "date rape guide". You be the judge...
Click to viewSome of the lyrics goes as follow...
"Last I remember I was face down
Ass up, clothes off, broke off, dozed off
Even though I’m not sure of his name
He could get it again if he wanted
Cause the sex was spectacular
The sex was spectacular
The sex was spectacular
The sex was spectacular
I think he pulled a track out when he was blowing my back out
What was I drinking? I can’t believe I blacked out…
I must have been on drugs…
I hope he used a rubber or
Imma be in trouble
Promise I don’t remember
except for rolling over"
Ummmmm what?
So of course everybody came out bitching about the song and the $2 video so she released the following statement.
I am an actor and performer. I have been so since my first role in a television pilot at five years old. I played a character when I was a “Cheetah Girl.” I am playing a character in the music video for the song “Spectacular,” as I did in the “Cheetah Girl” movies. The fact is, that sometimes women get intoxicated and have unprotected sex. My video puts this issue front and center. It is absurd to infer or suggest that I am condoning this behavior. Are Lady Gaga and Beyonce advocating murder with the “Telephone” video? Of, course not. Was Rihanna encouraging suicide with “Russian Roulette?” No. Was Madonna suggesting that young unmarried girls get pregnant with “Papa Don’t Preach?” I don’t think so. Is Academy Award winner Monique a proponent of incest because of her portrayal of Mary in the movie “Precious.” Clearly, the answer is no. I wrote “Spectacular” and made the video to bring attention to a serious women’s health and safety issue. Don’t shoot the messenger.

I'm sure trying to get out of your "kid star" phase is tough once you get older so I understand with that BUT honey, this is no way. The video is trashy and stupid there's no "message" and the song doesn't say shit about "women’s health and safety issue" it's just you talking about being a hoe and taking drugs then waking up to fugly one night stand.
Janet Jackson didn't go from Penny on Good Times to the Velvet Rope album talking about "tie me up and fuck me" over night. It was a progress. It took time and baby steps. You can't just shed ur "clean image" like that, then you just look like a fool with a shitty $2 video dancing next to the train tracks.
Try again or stay a Cheetah Girl.
EDIT: 1 last thing I just remembered, how the fuck does she know it was so damn spectacular if she had black out??? stupid bitch...smh
