Our savior from the Black Eyed Peas juggernaut, Jay Sean, may have given up his hold on the top of the Hot 100, but “Down” is still just about everywhere I turn these past few weeks. I have watched the video a couple of times, but while watching it this morning on the VH1 Top 20 Countdown (#1, btw), Rebbie Jackson’s epic video “Centipede” came to mind. Watch ‘em both and let me know what you think…

Stumble It!
Finally someone acknowledges Rebbie’s undeniable cultural legacy! I always thought her output was underrated. I liked all her albums. Some of her songs are almost as good as La Toya B-sides!
So there is room for more than one Jackson in your life? I’m a bit shocked by that revelation.
LOLs at “epic” .. that synth riff is unmistakable though!
Well, wasn’t it released on Epic?
I do like “Down”, although I hope Chris Brown doesn’t beat him up for taking what he was doing with “Forever”, and running with it…
Well, it’s tough to say that one work is definitive and draws a line in the sang. Someone could argue that Ne-Yo should be upset with Chris, as “Forever” sure follows in the footsteps of “Closer”. But I get your point…”Down” is not breaking any new ground, other than adding a little bit of diversity to the pop charts.
