...basically saying that not all songs need to have positive messages.
Then she contradicted herself in a written statement (link above) claiming "I wrote 'Spectacular' and made the video to bring attention to a serious women's health and safety issue. Don't shoot the messenger."
I'm sad to see a young woman, particularly one with a fan-base of little girls and tweens, so desperate to be seen as grown and sexy that she's willing to sing "Last I remember I was face down/Ass up, clothes off, broke off, dozed off/ Even though I'm not sure of his name/ He could get it again if he wanted"
and "What he did to me last night felt so good/ I must have been on drugs/ I hope he used a rubber/ Or I'mma be in trouble." SMH

I just watched the video from the link you posted. Wow, what a stupid song. The video looks like it was made by a bunch of high schoolers. I wasn't sure what I was watching because you titled it "date rape anthem" but, the entire time I thought she was portraying a prostitute. One minute she is saying the sex was spectacular, while in the same breath she says that she was blacked out and didn't really remember it. What a stupid-stupid song. Is this what music is coming to?
I have to admit that I think Raven had some talent, as well as the other Cheetah Girls. It sucks because Kiely Williams is already beautiful and talented so she didn't have to resort to this. I want my last 3 minutes and 57 seconds back after watching that. Ouch!
