FYI...Erykah Badu Reenacts JFK Assassination, Getting Naked

This video for "Window Seat" off Badu's New Amerykah Part Two is perhaps more overtly controversial than enlightening, but give her props for the originality and gusto.

FYI...Lady Gaga & Beyonce Try to Make Their Own Thriller

Beyonce and Lady Gaga have each produced their own share of like-it-or-loathe-it singles in their recent rises to female pop dominance. Beyonce had "Crazy in Love" and "Single Ladies" (like), but also "Halo" and "If I Were a Boy" (bleh). Lady Gaga had "Paparazzi" (like more than I should), but then the oversaturated brain-invaders "Pokerface" and "Just Dance."

Welcome "Telephone," the three-minute mindless club banger turned nine-minute epic video. Is the video's bizarreness genuine, harmlessly artificial, or unpleasantly profit-seeking? I still haven't figured it out. But I do know: it's rare to see a popular artist wearing less than his/her backup dancers, but Lady Gaga manages to pull that off.
