Music Videos... WHAT!!!

So anyone that knows me well, knows that I love music, dancing, and costumes. I grew up with my dad recording Friday Night Videos in the 80's and we would watch them over and over. I loved watching MTV music videos (when they still played them) all the way through college. I get a rush watching the dancing and crazy costumes and the lyrics and beats!!!! Ok so anyway- it has been a while since I have had time to see a music video or that I chose to watch one. I usually try to catch Live with Kelly and Regis in the morning and that is about it. Well this past Saturday morning I woke up early with Oliver and Brandon was at work. I saw that either MTV or VH1 had a countdown on. So I decided to watch some videos. Usher comes on with his new song OMG which was pretty good. Then I see that a new Christina Aguilara song is coming up. So in my head I am thinking... wow she is making a comeback and she is a mom now and has a baby... I wonder how she is going to look and sound, etc. So then the video comes on and the whole time I am watching it, I am baffled. It was basically a porn!!! I was holding Oliver and I was just thinking - How am I going to keep my precious son from seeing this oneday!?!?!?! How am I going to explain to him that this is not what you look for in a lady!!! How do I explain to him that this is NOT right. UGH!!! I was beyond dissapointed and disgusted after seeing that. I feel like I can handle a lot too. This was just beyond what I thought they could even play on TV! Wow have things changed since the 80's even. So to make matters even worse... I have been humming the tune to Lady Gaga's "Aleandro" song since it came out. Mainly because I can't seem to escape it. I think that she is a total nut, but I can't help but like her music. I frustrate myself with this. So I actually looked this video up to see it because when I listen to the song- I feel like the video would be light and maybe even a little fun. (it's summer time) . HAHA! Well I couldn't be more wrong. Christina has nothing on Gaga. I can't really explain this video, but I felt so saddened afterwards. I can't believe I live in a world where it is OK to play things on TV like that. I am nervous for the future and having to explain things like this to Oliver. God please help me!!! Seriously!!! I have been thinking about this for awhile now and I think about my friends who have daughters and they will have to explain to them oneday that it is not OK to want to be like these celebrities.
Well I guess I have put my little rant in for the day. I have been wanting to blog about this since Sat. when I saw all of this.
I have a lot more to blog about with our lives.... soon...:)
