Maybe I'm not nearly as artistic as I would like to think but, I was so confused watching the video and I could barely hear what she was singing. What was the video about?

In some parts, I only know what she's saying because I know the original song. For those who don't know what she is saying:

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
your face, your face

As for what the video is about, that depends on how you want to view it. LOL. It can be taken different ways.

Ditto. Though Roberta Flack's and Leona Lewis' versions are my two favorites.

I'm not interested in seeing the video but it is quite a lovely song.

The nudity is supposedly her sister Nayrok as her body double. However, one report says both she and her sister appeared nude. Oh well....

Also.....

Maybe this is true and maybe this is more publicity just like when Erykah Badu was going on and on about how she wasn't arrested for the "Window Seat" nudity. Who knows.

Dumb and boring video regardless.

Good song, though, and it is a The Flaming Lips song. It is not Erykah Badu's song therefore this is not "Badu's new song and video" as many media outlets and fans have been reporting.

I follow her on T_witter (well before this issue) and have noticed that her tweets changed from "Respect my vision as an artist. Art is supposed to prompt discussion" to "OMG HE RELEASED THIS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION"

Wayne's tweets have cracked me up, but overall, this seems like a big ass PR stunt. I am ready for this to pass.
