In honor of Lauryn Hill not being a complete tragic mess at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, let’s take it back to The Score because this is still fire (even if Enya got her lil feelings hurt that rappers were sampling her goodies).
In honor of Danity Kane’s reunion (praise!!!!) I’ve been having major girl group cravings. It’s impossible to really rank the greats. The Supremes didn’t really make videos but how can you not have the prototype for girl trios to come? Does it count as a girl group if they play instruments, like the Bangles? Does Destiny’s Child’s choreography put them a step ahead of The Saturdays, who don’t dance?
But, here it is anyway. My favorite girl group videos. I threw this together really quick, so who did I miss? Let me know. Maybe there’ll be a part two.
One of the guys in the office was jamming to this last week and it’s pretty much been on constant repeat. Remember in 2001 when every video basically looked like this? I wouldn’t mind doing that again.
I also wouldn’t mind Babyface having another actual hit. And Pharrell doing something other than being photographed at things for being Fine & Fashionable @ Forty.
Since I am one of the three people I know who actually watches R&B Divas, I don’t really have anybody to talk to about my obsession, so I’m just gonna put it on the internet instead.
LOVE.IT.
It’s like the drama of Real Housewives, but with people who are actually good at something other than drinking Franzia and pretending to have money. Atlanta is back with a second season and now the series is filming a spin-off in Los Angeles. So I need to have a Friday jam session with my favorite videos by the cast members.
Fifth Harmony “They Don’t Know About Us” (Acapella Cover)
This is what vocal groups are supposed to do. True, each of the girls have nice voices, but they obviously have some great ears too. These harmonies are so TIGHT y’all! And they’re all in their teens!
I’m finally excited about a US girl group. This is like baby En Vogue meets early-early Spice Girls and I’m so into it.
Where is the album? Take all my money, please. Can’t wait to be the awkwardly old gay man at their concert.
I didn’t even know secondhand embarrassment could feel this uncomfortable. This makes ME want to crawl into a hole and die. I feel like I have explosive diarrhea and everybody in my apartment complex is watching me on the toilet.
Way too many people are excited about Ciara’s “Body Party” just because she looks cute in the video. Y’all, that song is boo boo. And I rebuke her usage of this sample to try and get famous again.
Watch this video.
