Same Girl?

I was inspired to write this blog after seeing Usher and R. Kelly's Same Girl video for the hundreth time. Everytime I see it, it pisses
me off. Not only is what happened in the music video highly unlikely, it's just dumb. But it's Usher and R. Kelly, so it doesn't have to make sense. . . right?

In the music video, Usher and R. Kelly are telling each other about the girls that they're seeing. After describing them to each other, they come to the conclusion that they're seeing the same girl. . . hence the title of the song. They decide to set the girl up. Usher calls the girl, and asked her to dinner. Instead of just Usher showing up, R. Kelly shows up to. The guys thought they were making the girl, dubbed "TT" in song, look dumb. . . but out of nowhere TT's identical twin shows up. And when I say identical, I'm not just talking about genetics.

The song makes perfect sense by itself, but the video messes everything up. For starters, everything about them is the EXACT same. They are both nicknamed TT. . . which I guess would make sense if they had parents that thought naming their twins similar names is an okay thing to do. Like Taneshia and Takeshia, or Tiana and Tajuana, or. . . well, you get the picture.


Not only are they both nicknamed "TT". . .they both drive black Durangos with a license plate that says "Angel." They share a car? Okay. They both live on Peace Street. They share a house? Okay. If "TT" is making pesos as the song claims, would they really need to share a vehicle and house? Probably not. And where in the hell are they living that they would be making pesos instead of US currency?



They both love them some Waffle House. I have this is common with "TT". I love Waffle House as much as anyone else. I can't even blame her, or them. . . depending on whether you're going along with what the song says, or what the video shows.

Anyway, back to the video not making any sense. They both have identical tattoos on their ankles. They both have beauty marks on the same side of their mouths. The left side to be exact. . . which is the best side. Just thought I'd throw that out there. They went to Georgia Tech together, and both work for TBS. They're doing a little too much. I for one would be sick of my sister if we did everything together.

I'll break it down for you. R. Kelly and Usher were both seeing girls named TT that love waffle house, live on Peace Street, drive black durangos with the same license plate, have the same tattoo and beauty mark, went to the same school, and work at the same place. Sure, they can still be twins. That's fine.

The thing is, Usher calls TT and tells her to meet him for dinner. R. Kelly doesn't call TT at all, because they're trying to set her up. How would his TT know to show up at dinner?

In the song, R. Kelly and Usher are trying to make TT look stupid. At the end of the video, they're left looking stupid. . . but really, the only person that's looking stupid is the director of this video. Lil X.

He's looking like. . .


Just kidding. This is what he looks like. . .


No wonder the video turned out the way it did.
