She just sold a million more copies of her new CD that features that video. AN ARTIST WITH VISION, COURAGE AND DETERMINATION.
If you don't have one of her CD's, get it.

Not even with a permit was this an "appropriate" project. She's a talented artist - no doubt or argument there. But that spot in that Plaza is NO place for such behavior. This is not a "freedom of speech" issue. It is an issue of common sense, decency, and respect for our slain President. Yes, Dealey Plaza is used for other groups and activities. But Badu's use of the "X" in the street to fall, herself shot in the head, is immature, irresponsible, and disrespectful to Dallas and the nation.

Had this been A WHITE WOMAN SINGER, DANCING AND SINGING NAKED OUTSIDE EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH IN ATLANTA, FAT ASS SHARPTON, JACKSON, ALL OF MSNBC, CNN, NBC WOULD HAVE BEEN ON LIKE THIS LIKE SHIT ON RICE. I loved Badu when she was first on the scene. It seems, Beyonce (telephone video with puke/puke) all the filty vile language on the ATL scene Nigga this, ho that, bitch this and nothing done about it. Oh don't worry like Shaquiqua can read she can read, bitch, nigga, ho, slut, ghat, cream, but can she spell CAR, DOG NO. And to think Badu was a big proponent of YOUNG CHILDREN. she is a disgrace as an artist

Gee, what do you think all this extra attention will do for her album sales? I personally think anything that will get the stick out of the asses of Texans is a good thing and I don't have a problem with this. But, if you do, do you really want to bring as much attention to it as possible, or do you think you can move on with your life without being too traumatized by seeing a (EEK!) naked woman?
