Erykah Badu Window Seat - Your Naked Thoughts?

A la JFK assassination? Tasteful, Artistic? And why is she naked?

Damn I love this womans flow. I consider her videos vignettes. Hard to say why she's nude, artists temperament. Perhaps she relates strongly to the assassination or it's something very simple. What I got from it is that the emotions are genuine, stripped down. And so is she, shedding layers like a snake. Letting go of preconceived notions.

yes. but why dallas. why that particular location? why the jfk parody?

i feel like if someone did the same with mlk, that wouldnt be right...why is it right in this case?

It's not, both assassinations were a loss for everyone. Who can say what was going through her mind? Surely it's her idea or she liked what was put before her as a video premise. Maybe she'll let the 'why' leak in an interview sometime. Or maybe she'll flip her gorgeous Piscean head and keep it a mystery.

oh, they did. it was the directors idea. along the lines of what you were getting at. i get the concept...just don't like the jfk association. was unneeded and actually cheapens the message imho

Agreed, the vid was a curiousity. I've seen it, now I'll just enjoy the song sans the imagery.

Man, she's artistic, you'll never know what she's thinking.

the video was powerful until that wackass end which served the purpose it was supposed to and that was to make the video viral. i think it could've achieved that and been far more powerful without the jfk reference. very disrespectful and insulting.

dude, i don't care about the nakedness.

as i said, if she were standing on a balcony in memphis i wouldnt regard it as artistic either. it's shitty. period.

yeah and i state it. problem?

git!

actually, on this topic, i choose to be fairly stubborn. having lost people, it's the most disrespectful piece of trash ever. it was deliberate. they chose that spot deliberately. you may see it as innovative to spit on someone's grave. i don't. won't be buying this album.

i don't care if you see the right hand of God come down at noon everyday for now until eternity. unnecessary is unnecessary and if you don't have the depth to recognize "artistic" BS, that's on you. if someone gave me a flaming pile of crap and put cherry syrup on it i wouldn't espouse of how sweet it is. you do. you're entitled. i think you're an idiot. oh well...move on...

ciao!

That video is powerful. Did you not hear what she says at the very end? There's a message behind all of that.

^^^silly child. statements like these make you an idiot. not your difference of opinion.

"the director blatantly tells you the message at the end. i believe it. oh, it's so moving!" 😛

stop talking.

your thoughts were, "exactly what they want me to think."

thanks for being so original. without you, the world would actually be a unique place.

I feel like she was making a statement. I don't think she meant any disrespect to JFK.

I think she is just trying to return to her roots but instead of a jungle she is in a urban jungle
