Love on Top
Saturday 9: Love on Top (2011)
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) Beyonce sings that she and her lover have worked through a tough time and now they are happier than before. Do you agree with the lyrics that relationships take effort? Or do you think that if a couple is well-matched and their love is real, happiness will naturally follow?
Personal experience, relationships take effort.
2) She tells us that he's the one she can always call. But that was in 2011. If someone needed to get in touch with you today, would you recommend they call, send an instant message, or text?
Text. My texts show up on my Smart Watch. Calls do, too, but I don’t like having a conversation on the watch, I’ll pull out the phone to talk …
3) Beyonce goes through many costume changes in this video and in her concert performances. What are you wearing right now as you answer these questions, and will you change clothes throughout the day?
Jeans, sweater p, suede boots. And no, I usually don’t change, except from night clothes to street clothes in the morning and back to night clothes at the end of the day,
4) The choreography in this video was inspired by Janet Jackson's videos in the 1990s. The Jackson family -- Janet, her brothers as solo artists and as The Jackson 5 -- have sold a staggering 750 million records. Can you think of another successful musical family?
The Osmonds. I had a crush on Donny. And I loved the show he did with Marie.
5) Beyonce and husband Jay-Z have an impressive classic car collection, including a restored and customized 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II, reportedly worth $1,000,000. If you suddenly received a million, what would you splurge on? We want to hear about a gift you'd give yourself. (It doesn't have to take the whole $1,000,000.)
Travel. I love to explore new places.
6) Beyonce "loves to lather" and enjoys shampooing her hair. What's a simple, everyday thing that relaxes you?
7) In 2011, when "Love on Top" was popular, so were movie franchises. Sequels to Harry Potter, Transformers, Twilight, Kung Foo Panda, and Disney's Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean all topped the box office. What's your favorite movie series?
I will always watch a Harry Potter movie,
8) Speaking of sequels, Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and two of its sequels (The Girl Who Played with Fire and the The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest) were on the NY Times list of fiction bestsellers for 2011. Have you read any of them?
I read all of them. Great books,
9) Random question -- Which of these items do you misplace most often: your cellphone, your keys or the TV remote?
Keys. That’s why we put up a board next to the front door, where I (almost) always hang my keys,
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
People misplace their keys, their cellphone, and their TV remote? Really? (I guess that makes me weird. I always know where those are.)
ReplyDeleteI have an app on my watch that helps me find my cellphone, the phone wails until I find it. And there are times I have to look into the spaces between the couch cushions to locate the remote.
DeleteI haven't turned my tv on since I moved in January so I have to remember where I put the remote.
ReplyDelete#1 I agree, and also friendships.
ReplyDelete#4 The Osmonds, I haven’ heard that group in decades.
#7 One Christmas the grandnieces and grandnephews were watching Kung Foo Panda and one of those Minions, I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. But now they grown up and they watch sports with the grown up, so I read.
My car goes into the garage and I leave the keys in it, usually. But the cellphone ends up all over the house.
ReplyDeleteI put the Osmonds too. That was so long ago! Travel is a good answer. We are taking a cruise in January and Hawaii in April. Hopefully the PT will help me be fit for that. I learned a lot about Rosh Hashanah. I found a few YouTube places that I could watch the services. One was a Messianic church. They had great messages and I Ioved the singing! The bowing of the Shofar at the end of the service was really nice, especially as the last long blow ended it.
ReplyDeleteI would say travel.
ReplyDeleteI saw Donny and Marie in Vegas a few years back. He has certainly aged well!
