      I like the video, the song is lacking “like the break-up of jenn and vince vaughn”??? was that an epic love..no i don’t think anyone cared. i guess he was looking for a word to rhyme and vaughn worked.

      This is the only good look for Mariah since she insists on dressing herself. The boots are hot.

      I heart Common. He and Kerry Washington make a cute couple.

      I great respect Taib Kweli but he looks like he’s delivering lunch to Fuse TV and they invited to take a picture.

      You know if MC dressed a size up or two she wouldn’t always look so bad. She is not that big of a woman but she looks bigger when she tries to sqeeze her size 8/10 body into size 6 clothes. She probably has staff whose job it is to cut out the tags that say size 8 and replace it with size 0.

      Mariah’s stylist is now unemployed because they got tired of breaking their fingers trying to squeeze her into those too damn tight clothes. I don’t know why she simply refuses to get a bigger size! My aunt is the same way. One time I told her that I bet she is the one keeping Monistat in business. She was hella pissed. But my Bible says the truth is the light! So I’m gonna tell it!

      I love the video. It is about being grown and sexy, not stank and corny. And I think the song is hot. I love Talib’s hot thing song but watching a 5 minute HP commercial is not my thing.

      I loved the video from Common, but is that Alicia Keys at the end that he’s with; if so “Me no like it!” But I do like the fact that him and Kerry W. are an item, in refernce to that all so real kissing scene. And then there’s Mariah who is not on fire anymore! I agree, please stop it with the butterflies!

      I like the video cause it was grown and sexy but it was a true snoozer. Kerry stick to acting :) Mariah needs to realize these outfits make her look bloated. Its so sad to see talent look like trash.

      Common and Kerry got chemistry in this video. It was a bit artsy fartsy meets black bohemina buppie. The guest cameos were a bit arbitrary; but nevertheless the video is hella grown and sexy. Shout out to Kerry for thinking outside of the box.
      Mimi….puuhlease..you are a poor imitation of a barbie doll. Talib needs some Shea Butter for dem lips. And must he always rock a Yankee cap? We already know that he reps the NYC all day every day. So Talib take it off cause it looks a tad played and immature. Men over thirty-five (and that’s a stretch) should not wear baseball caps. I may be too critical but something about black men and baseball caps keeps their grown man status on KID (Keeping it Dum).

      I love common’s new vid. Am i the only one that thinks he and alicia keys look hot together? i saw smoking aces FINALLY the other day and i was loving their chemistry. Mimi looks a hot, too tight clothes mess as usual. she reminds of those old ladies on maury who dont dress their age and have to be dragged kicking and screaming to get a makeover. LOL!

      Kerry/Alicia were fab
      Is it me or do Alicia and Common look as if they would make a cute couple? She has stated she would not date any one in the industry because she says they have been tainted, I feel her but they would look nice together… just sayin
