New Video Vixens: The Female R&B Singers Themselves
Maybe it is because I am not a connoisseur of female R&B music, but I just caught two videos back to back today where instead of the typical video vixen in the video, the sexy girl was the singer herself.
The two videos were Rihanna performing Hate That I Love You and Nicole Scherzinger's Baby Love. Both videos featured the singers in underwear and/or revealing swimsuit in various video vixen poses
(you would know what I'm talking about if you've seen any rap videos).
The videos are below:
It is really curious: I wonder if I'm just making connections where there aren't any. Your thoughts are appreciated.

not sure what you're getting at with your video vixen post. are you surprised to see sexed up female singers? it's not like there's an abundance of ugly ones. you could have put up videos by mariah carey, j lo, pussycat dolls, gwen stefani, xtina agulara, britney spears, and any other number of quasi-talented hot bodies. you could even arguably go back to paula abdul and the teeny boppers of the 80's. it's just that the outfits have gotten smaller. men singers put sexy women in the videos to sell them, woman singers are sexy in videos to sell them.
I was thinking the same thing after I wrote this. Perhaps it all has to do with the female r&b context which was jarring to me.
