YOUTUBE: Pregnant Ladies

I don't think anyone will disagree that Beyoncé's chart-dominating single "Single Ladies" has been over-played and parodied enough since it debuted over a year and a half ago. However, this reworking of the hit is great. It's called Pregnant Ladies and, believe it or not, features the dancing and singing of a very pregnant lady. The sight of her in a black leotard recreating Beyoncé's famous choreography is totally amusing, but the real creativity comes from the lyrics, which are all about the perils of having a bun in the oven. I'm not pregnant (knock on wood) but have plenty of preggo friends who can barely touch their toes and have to pee every ten minutes, so I can kind of sympathize; I also love how the lady in this video totally owns what she's doing (especially at around 2:00 when a couple teenage boys are lingering in the background wondering how crazy she might actually be).

MUSIC: "Put It In A Love Song"

Two of my favorite pop/R & B music singers have finally collaborated on a song together. Featured in Alicia Keys' new album, The Element of Freedom, the song "Put It In A Love Song" pairs the piano-playing superstar with the equally empowering and beautiful Beyoncé Knowles.

The song, a little different from the stand tell-off jam, demands that the man quit saying he loves his woman and really prove it by showing her through other romantic measures. The women croon "You say you love me...then put it in a love song! You say you need me...the put it in a letter form!" The beat is great too so get ready to hear it played on repeat on the radio and probably find it on a few soundtracks this year.
