Idolator
Janet Jackson's body of music videos, from the Herb Ritts-lensed clip for "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" to the military workout "Rhythm Nation," is one of the most outstanding of the MTV era—just ask Beyonce's choreographer. Her new single, the Herbie Hancock-sampling "So Excited," is barely making a dent at radio, so it needed a new lease on life—preferrably with a clip that could solidfy her reputation as one of pop's most durable stars. Unfortunately, the video for "So Excited" (which apparently takes place at Tyler Durden's old house) is an absolute mess, especially because its main hook seems to be a wardrobe that morphs away at any given moment. Finally, something that makes "Scream" look like a model of computer-graphics restraint.

The second I saw that Rhythm Nation ripoff at the VMAs, I was pissed.
fuckin' beyoncé.
you just know she has conversations with her handlers about "homage" while little dollar signs glitter in her kewpie-doll eyes and her mother brushes the white lady hair sewn into her scalp.
Alright you sonsabitches....
(YouTube, not Idolator)
The vid is GONE.
What up?!
Does EVERYONE freak when the hear that someone like Idolator criticizes them?
If you're a performer: WHY?
No, more like YouTube is clearing out all the "unauthorized" music vid postings now that they've gone legit post-sale to Google.
