"Countdown"

And I totally am talking about Beyonce's Countdown.

I've been obsessed with this song for a little over a month now (I know it's been out for a looong time). To tell you the truth, I didn't like it AT ALL when I first heard it. I thought it was a little hard on my ears and rhythmically all over the place. Clear example when first impressions are wrong.*
Me and boo, and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show him you the finest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
 It's like poetry- I don't know what any of it means. That's not true, I understand poetry more than popular culture- but that's just me. Point is, it gets me going. It gets me groovin'. It gets me grinding (another big lie).

Actually, I've never considered myself a Beyonce fan- which doesn't mean I've never liked her- but I think 4 (the album) has changed all that.
Love on Top and End of Time are also worth a listen.



I wish I could move like her.
She's one real sexy mama!

* Another example: When Coldplay's Yellow first came out, I couldn't stand it. I thought it was an "eh" song with too much hype... The Scientist shed new light on them for me and well, as they say, the rest if history (i.e. Big fan of Coldplay).
