Rising Star or Relative Gold Digger?

Brazilian Pop Star Vaneli was seen on scene in Beverly Hills yesterday, doing a little and posing for the X17 video paparazzi. If you haven’t heard the hot new single “Ur Money” by international pop star Vaneli you live in a cave. This alluring beauty with pipes comparable to many established hit makers has landed in America to stake her claim. She brings with her a soft-spoken confidence and undeniable sparkle. Don’t let the seemingly shy petite one fool you, her debut single let’s al prospective suitors know; if you want a chance with her you better make it rain like a monsoon. But does this declaration of “I’m gonna get Ur Money” set upwardly mobile, independent young women back a few years?

Not since the boisterous rhymes of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown have we heard women brazenly speak about men “spending their chips”. These days our young women (i.e. Alicia Keyes, Beyonce) speak about empowerment, love and self worth. The ironic turn of the tables has come in recent years with the musically gifted men in the industry promising to “make it rain”, pay our bills and take care of us. This shift is what makes Vaneli’s “Ur Money” so tantalizing. Listen to it. She is empowered-she has her own money. She’s confident-she knows “he” wants her, most importantly, she’s brilliant-why spend her money when she can spend yours.

Contrary to the boasts of former lyrical gold diggers, Vaneli is not out to drain your bank account. Actually, she seems to be putting a twist on the empowerment movement. No coyness or game playing, Ms. Vaneli knows she’s hot and demands to be spoiled. Maybe if women in general should be more vocal about their wants. Truth be told most women would like a man to take care of them and that doesn’t mean the woman wouldn’t be on the grind making her own but security in a relationship is paramount. So would that make all women gold diggers? Check out X17 video website http://x17video.com/celebrity_video/vaneli/up_and_coming_pop_star_vaneli.php and have your say!
