Nothing Else I Can Say...Independent Women

Okay, since I am a faithful Lady Gaga fan, (and have been for quite some time now) I have to share her newest video with y'all! The name of the song is "Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)." It is quite a pleasant song. You should listen to it! :)

Oh, and for all you R&B and rap lovers out there...have you noticed lately how much the male artists are loving "independent" women who have their own things? Here are some examples...

1. Ne-Yo "Miss Independent" I LOVE this song. It is one of my ringtones! :)
Ooh there's something about kinda woman that can do it for herself
I look at her and it makes me proud, there's something about her
there something ooh so sexy about the kinda women that dont even need my help
She says she got it, she got it, no doubt, theres something about her
Cuz she work like the boss, play like the boss
Car and a crib, she about to pay em both off
And her bills are paid on time
She made for a boss, Soley a boss,
Anything less, shes telling em to get lost
Thats the girl that on my mind


2. Jaime Foxx (Ne-Yo and Fabolous) "She Got Her Own" If you have not heard this song yet, you should check it out...I love it so much.
I love her cause she got her own
She don't need mine, so she leave mine alone
There ain't nothing that's more sexy
Than a girl that want but don't need me
Knowin she can do for herself
Makes me wanna give her my wealth
Only kinda girl I want
Independent queen workin for her throne
I love her cause she got her own


3. Of course we can't forget the older song "Independent" by Webbie.
(spell this out!) I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T
Do you know what that means?
She Got Her Own House
She Got Her Own Car
Two Jobs Work Hard
You A Bad Broad

4. And I would be an idiot if I didn't include the song that gave all these other people the idea to sing about this subject! Destiny's Child "Independent Women." Haha, this is not new, by any means! I was a senior in high school when this came out. It was on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack. You better believe I used to jam out to it in my silver Isuzu Rodeo, hehe.
The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I've bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)

All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

There is no point or moral to this story. I just love the new Jaime Foxx song, and it reminded me of the Ne-Yo song, and then I started thinking about all the singers/rappers who appreciate independent women. I feel like I do not (even hardly) qualify for this description, since I went straight from my parents helping me out, to Zac helping me out. But at least one day I will have a degree and a job (hopefully not a job...I'm still hoping we will stumble into a few million, but hey, just in case we dont) and maybe I can at least be halfway independent! :)

I do like the Ne-Yo song and I like the Destiny's Child "Independant Woman" song also.
The new Beyonce song "Put a ring on it.", I like the tune, but hate the words.
