OMARION - I Think My Girl Is Bi

February 24th, 2010

One might take a glance at its title and imagine describing a song called “I Think My Girl Is Bi” to be as elusive as trying to explain the size and shape of stupid. But let’s not mistake the issue. In this post-homophobic world (we’re still waiting, Jamaica), former B2K boyband member Omarion isn’t playing the victim. In fact, nothing is more satifying to the modern male R&B/hip-hop performer (and Janet Jackson) than to have two hotties going at it while he sits back in his boxers, talking on the phone to his agent while puffing on a giant blunt fashioned from a grape-flavored cigar. No, Omarion is like the Secretary-General of the United Nations of Pop. He must be encouraged.

OMARION FEAT. GUCCI MANE - I Get It In

February 8th, 2010

Omarion’s first two solo albums (his boot camp was boyband B2K) topped the R&B and Billboard 200 charts, and in the three years it took to release his third, the singer worked on 2007’s “Face Off” with Bow Wow–promoted by a BET special titled “The Road To Platinum” (it went Gold)–a side career in acting, and ditching Young Money for EMI. Given the number of partially detached vocals filled with android-in-heat impersonations on “Ollusion”, it’s as if Omarion made a concerted attempt to downplay his vocal ability, which only adds to the album’s weird, teasing charm. For a record that purports to show the “adult” side of the former teen star, its lyrics are relatively straightforward when they’re not completely piggish (”You got me shootin’ like a porno / B*tch stick to me just like a bag of Fritos”). And then there’s the song “I Think My Girl Is Bi”. Teddy Pendergrass he ain’t.
