STR8 VIDEOS: ADELE- “SOMEONE LIKE YOU”

It’s been a minute since I’ve updated the blog, but just few moments ago I watched Adele’s “Someone Like You” and least to say I was in tears. Just listening to this song is emotional enough, the visuals here are simplistic yet so raw and appropriate for such a heart wrenching sad love song.

The black and white gives it a more authentic feel and not to mention the majority of the video focuses on Adele’s beautiful face with the streets of Paris (I think) in the background. The look in Adele’s eyes…it’s like looking into her soul and at that moment it reads nothing but sadness. Kudos to the director for portraying such a deep emotion with simple yet captivating visuals. The end of the video leaves me heartbroken. Overall the video captures the essence of a love lost and feeling numb.

STR8 TALK: HOW MUCH DO YOU OWE YOUR EX?! PAGING ADELE

Forget Str8 Talk! This is straight up BLASPHEMY! The homie, The Fury, recently posted a story on Adele and that her ex boyfriend is seeking compensation for inspiring Adele’s previous album “19″. Her response to the creep according to The Sun,
“Finally, I said, ‘Well, you made my life hell, so I lived it and now I deserve it.’ He really thought he’d had some input into the creative process by being a p****. I’ll give him this credit – he made me an adult and put me on the road that I’m travelling.”
WHAT IN THE HELL?! TALK ABOUT FUCKERY TO THE FULLEST! We can all attest to the fact that at some point ex-es have inspired the worst and the best in us all. In this case, Adele’s ex caused her so much pain it inspired all the powerful lyrics and hit songs in both her albums “19″ & “21″. But why the hell should her ex-boyfriend reap any benefits?! The most he should get is a “thank you!” and “kick rocks!”. In my case, my ex (you know who you are) was a huge inspiration in getting this Str8NYC.com blog + movement started and sure things didn’t work out between us. Am I thankful for being one my biggest cheerleaders yeah…but if he ever considered to come after me for money and seeking any type of compensation he better think twice. #imjustsayin

So this leads me to my next point “How much do you owe your ex?”. If this rule in fact applied in relationships…Here are some celebs that owe they’re ex-es a lil’ more than a “thank you”

Say what you want…but with Diddy’s help J.Lo became a household name. From the music to a switch in management (Benny Medina) to naming her “J.Lo”…dating Diddy was a major boost in Jenny from the Block’s career.

Chilli breaking up with Usher gave him his best + top selling album of his career…need I say more.

Sure Amber Rose was Kanye’s arm candy but Kanye was her personal ATM. Without him would be talking about Amber today?…I think not!
Can you think of any others?!
