by Beyoncé: Traditionally, I was not a Beyoncé fan as she turned Destiny’s Child to Beyoncé and Friends. However, with each solo album that she releases I like her music more and more. My good friend over at hair-sugar sent me the link to this video earlier, and I tell you it broke me down! I heard the track on Bey’s album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, and I liked it, but I believe the video takes the lyrics to a new level! Everytime I watch this video it makes me cry.  The first time I watched it was at work and it had me with tears pouring by 1:37 in! The video reminds of the relationship between my boyfriend and I and is such a great depiction of love, friendship, admiration, and respect. If I wanted to put my two cents in I would suggest the chemistry between Michael Ealy and Bey is amazing. I couldn’t even imagine Jay Z in this video, and I definitely don’t envision him as the sensitive supportive husband type. If you are a female, sensitive in the least bit, and madly in love – I would say you need a tissue before watching She also released the video for Diva, but I felt this track was worthy of a solo post!

by Pussycat Dolls: When I first heard this song, I immediately thought the track sounded like one that Timbaland would produce. My assumption was correct! In my opinion, the song resembles Losing My Way by Justin Timberlake which was also produced by Timbaland. I think this is a great song as individuals in relationships expect so much from each other. A lot of times, people find themselves changing their true identity to please their mate. It is ideal to find someone who is equally yolked with you, spiritually and mentally. Part of that includes realizing that each party is not perfect, hence the chorus: “Sorry, I couldn’t wear your halo.”
