Video Pick of the Week

Many of you have heard the song sung MANY ways (the truth be told, I could do without some of the versions I HAVE heard). You've seen it imitated on TV sitcoms. You've probably even seen her life story played out by the ever beautiful Ms. Angela Bassett. BUT, if you have NOT seen what inspired all of these events, then you can not JUSTLY say you know what's going on. So, let me enlighten you:



I love good music and dancing just like the next person, but it is my opinion that today's entertainers wouldn't be able to hold a candle to that! They didn't need all of those voice enhancing tools. They didn't need any cars and bling to take the stage. No videos are playing in the backdrop. No fire and explosions were needed to entertain a sold-out stadium. All they brought on stage with them were their instruments, a few dance moves and their own NATURAL talent. Don't believe me? Ok. Here's a little more for you...look out Beyonce! :)



Good Lord, I could go ALL DAY on THIS one! Ok! Ok! ONE more...



The Defense Rests.

Tina and the Tinetts used some awesome wig glue. Those wigs remained on their heads throughout many high energy and gyrating performances.

Hi attorneymom! Welcome to the battlefield. You are SO right, that glue amazes me. The fear of flinging my wig into the audience would have been enough to make me attack my moves with much less vigor. Thank you for commenting :)

Heya Z, I love me some Tina. You're right, entertainers don't come in this quality anymore, and I must admit, the wig glue used is some powerful stuff!
