I liked Beyonce at first. I was glad when she released her first solo album, and even asked for it for Christmas that year. I knew most of the words to "Baby Boy" and other popular radio hits. I thought her clothes were pretty fabulous, and I appreciated that she didn't get all skinny, at least at first, but just made clothes that looked good on her. And her hair is awesome. But recently I've seen the Direct TV commercial version of her song "Upgrade U" many many many times. And I hate it So does Kevin. He got angry when he saw I was looking it up on YouTube to post it.
Here it is, for all of my good friends who don't watch commercials anymore. It's a timely reminder of why we don't want to watch commercials.
The Diamonds commercial just adds insult to injury. I won't post it here.

ReplyDeleteThere was a great interview with Steve Poltz on KPBS about what it means to "sell out." By the end, I completely understood why he would lend his song to something like a Jeep commercial, and I didn't mind it at all. Two days later, I saw the upgrade commercial, and now I have the ultimate definition of a sellout.
