Ne-Yo with that lip licking makes me wanna throw up……I wish he wouldnt do that

Luv Neyo, Luv da song and video

It’s nice to see sum1 reppin all INDEPENDENT WOMAN!

estelle..keep reppin the uk..eve ur eye wats up……no sleep!

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout!!! I GOT IT!!! (Love the lyrics to the song, the beat…well not so much)

I enjoyed the video! I like the choice of women doing their thing! Love Jamies singing ability but his voice annoyed me at times during this song….

Smooth video it had a sexy vibe… because of course any woman doing her own thing with her own bank account, good credit and has swag is very sexy!

I WONDER IF KEYSHIA COLE AND FABOLOUS STILL DOING THAT MOVIE 2GETHER!!! I HOPE SO….

ooh, Im feeling this song.

It wa nice for Ne-Yo to holla up Estelle, keep doing big things girl. It’s a very lovely song

Jill Marie Jones. yea.

This is a beautiful song. Ne-yo is keepin’ R&B music alive.

I love it

Yeah man finally shouting out to women with a brain instead of stank hoes that think their hood looks are going to get them anywhere, ladies get your own and stop relying on men

Amen, Mrs. Bee!!! Ne-yo redeemed right himself here. Always been a hugh fan, but the first video-HATED IT! I so love this song.

That song is so interesting , WHY DO BLACK MAN , OUT OF EVERY RACE , HATE SUPPORTING THEIR OWN , this song is a true joke ,BLACK MAN SUPPORT YOUR FAMILIES , STOP CREATING BULL SHIT SONGS,,, ABOUT HOW YOU LUV SISTER’S THAT HAVE THEIR OWN , FOR YR’S ALL BLACK WOMAN , HAVE HAD THEIR OWN THROUGH -OUT HISTORY THAT SONG , IS a insult , to Black WOMAN , how many black single mother’s has had to suppourt their OWN , come on people this is a JOKE, this song will continue to encourage black man in their bull shit , wake up ppl .

I know it’s just a SONG , BUT WHY DO BLACK MAN SEEK NOT TO WORK WITH A SISTER THAT MIGHT NEED A LITTLE HELP .

LIKE TIGER WOOD’S , AND 75% OF ALL BLACK ATHLETES, and Successful black MAN,,,,they marry WHITE TRASH AND OTHER RACES , ,,,and support ,and help them and their broke families .

Did you know Tiger Wood’s Married his friends MAID , poor white trash , and that’s cool ,,, RIGHT , oh i forgot she has her own - A BROOM , AND Blue eye’s

I love this remix it’s better then the orginial

I loved this video..its nice that he’s recognizing women who are working hard to have their own. Loved the pic of Bee on Fab’s shirt. The message of this vide..Priceless

Love you Neyo…xoxo Thicky

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVES IT! FABOLOUS HAS NICE FLOW!

Hot song! To #31 I think your statement is interesting. Wow we have a song that’s big uppin independent woman, that don’t have to depend on a man to get what they want and need and you taking it to a whole nuther level. Wowwww amazing..SMDH, cuz there’s always 1.

I understand what you are saying #31, congrats to all the ladies, like myself that have it because we worked for it. I’m not quite sure what these songs say about AA or black culture as a whole in America?If you have it all then why would you need a significant other ?Co-sign on people getting on and helping “others and their families”. Just my thoughts….

I think the song sets off a good message. And #31, I agree with you to an extent. Because it has been a lot of females makin it as a single parent with no help, but i’ve seen a lot more sittin on they a$$, waitin for they w-2 checks and they food stamps to come in so they could go f*ck it up. It’s not that many females that are workin 2 jobs and goin to school (like me). So i think it’s just a song thats congratulatin any woman that know how to go out in the world and get they own. I don’t think the song is sayin that since she have her own, she gotta do everything in the relationship, it’s sayin (to me) that it’s a relief when they don’t have to do everything since they found someone on their level and not tryna use them. The song isn’t targeted to those hard workin women who is already makin major moves, it’s for them lazy welfare collectin, buyin new outfits when the lights ’bout to get cut off type of females to make them look stupid.

@37

I agree with you
there are women and men who wants their mate to take care of them. I want my mate to complement me not to take of me because I got my own.

@31

Lol, congratulations to you, because you picked up on the song’s intent and what it was actually about. Most black women will not be able to do that because these songs are written to cater to the already humongous egoes of black women. Let’s establish one thing; these songs are written and performed by hom*sexuals and they’re actually intended to destroy the family structure because they cater to feminism. None of these dudes in these videoes even want women. They’d rather have a line of coke ad each other. These black men have been raised by black women, have never had a strong male figure in the home, so they use reverse psychology on the black woman to make her think that he is in favor of her empowerment when in actuality he is scared of responsibility.

The only thing that I disagree with you on is that nonsense about 75% of black athletes are with white women. That’s a lie. I’d say 10-15% of famous black men are married to white women, and that’s a high estimation because it’s off the top of my head. It’s probably closer to 5-10%. There are probably more black men that have been turned out to hom*sexuality and bi-sexuality in the entertainment industry than interracial dating. The black woman, on the other hand, is interracially dating in the entertainment industry and corporate America at a rate of probably 60-70% (and that is a low estimation on my part). Look at Eve’s tired, run through ass, lol. She pops up in these videos in between playing the whore for random white men.

i love the song already but the vid adds to it…..i am sooooo glad he didnt wait 6 months to throw a remix out there and do a video to follow…..some people wait too damn long for me..now i will def get ne-yo’s album because i have all the others and i just want to know what he’s doing on this album

omg people and their “deeper” meanings trip me out…..its entertainment jeeez

WOW! # 31 and # 37. Real Talk!

This song is hot, just added it to my myspace page. I like this better than the original better. The twins from ATL is this video was very random, where did they come from? Their cute though nonetheless. Keisha was the most fab in the video and Eve’s face looks very crooked to me…

@31 THANK YOU .

I just saw my friend fight , her low life husband to support his own , this song say’s a lot of Bull ,,, to me , and i heard that this is his fav song ,

but when he was a nobody she worked with him to get his buz ,,,to a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR company , and now he’s left her for a broke ass homless White ,GIRL,,,and my friend is not asking for his , but for WHAT SHE WORKED HER ASS OFF , for the last 15 yr’s , she was an attorney and she left it all to support him with his BIZ , .and gave him three little girls ,,,, he should be a shame , MY FRIEND WAS WIFE OF THE GALAXY ,,,, she spoiled his ungrateful ass .

She and a few other sister’s , that has being played like this will be starting a support group to stop Men like this….

And so far , none of these Women needs welfare,,, they are upper middle class working , SISTER’S and half of them are self employed single mother’s .

Sorry,but this song makes me VOMIT, and these ladies do’nt need this song . they feel very much offended by this song .

I find it hard to believe that #31 and 37 are not reaching here. The song itself I don’t think is meant for black women and what not. It just so happened to be written by a black man and thus the core audience in the video. However, I think it is meant for all women and there have been songs like this before, ie Independent Women, the Destiny’s Child track…why didn’t anyone bash them for not saying that there are some women out there who can’t take care of themselves and may need a little help? I bet you all of you over here hatin’ on this some was on that independent bandwagon when that song came out. Now as soon as a guy does it you want to condemn him then talk about black men not supporting their women. Why don’t you do the same for them? Just take the song for what it is and stop looking for subtitles that are really out of its range.

and #44 I don’t think this track is for a woman scorned either. It is just saying that to all those women who know the value of working hard and supporting yourselves, we men appreciate you. I doubt Ne-Yo is saying that if you supported your dude and he screws you over then go get your own. There is nothing wrong with even being supported when you have your own. It is just a good look to have your own and still be backed by your man when necessary. Your friend has every right to be upset but I think you’re missing the point of the song.

Wow, I have never scene her look so good, the dress is sexy and sophisticated, she must have a new stylist. Thank god, she needs to keep her or him.

Mama is working that dress, I agree, she must have a new stylist. gO Girl

JAMMIN! I love this track … Finally a song for us with a remix that’s even better than the original. It seemed like writers and singers already tackled being in love with strippers, wanting our body on them and various other things … This one … Ah yes, I applaud them for it.

I didn’t read anyone elses comments coming into this but I will say …

We’re getting heavily over looked … All independent women … Especially the black ones … Cause apparently, if we’re not married with children by 30, its gonna be a hard road to get to with being successful. Anyways … Love this song … Have a great day.

everyone is a beyonce stan! tyra banks ,fabolous ect.

Yay I see Beyonce or should I say Ms Boss on Fabo’s tee.

Love the cameos from the girls, they all look so beautiful.

@ #7- I agree. Jill is beautiful. CL we need more posts on her.

# 31 # 37 and #45 need to RELAX! It is just a song. It is just entertainment. Not everything has an underling negative connotation. Get real! Enjoy the beat, lyrics and video and keep it moving. I hate when people try to pick apart something so simple and meaningless. Whats wrong with a women supporting herself no matter what race or what type of relationship she’s in…NOTHIN! Blk men being gay or going to white women as nothing to do with anything this song represents, at all. SHOUT OUT TO ALL MY INDEPENDENT WOMEN WHO GOT THEY OWN!!!

Luv ya Keyshia..Keep Rockin Gurl
I don’t like SUCH songs…they piss me off…And Neyo’s voice is just IRRITATING!!

I am so digging this song! It speaks of the true independence of females and most importantly the males that are recognizing those females that are doing their thing, whether you are black or white. Independence has no name or color barrier. Most women are content with their significant other bringing home the ” bread ” and most women are not. Either way it goes… You can be a housewife and still be independent or you have a job or two working in corporate american still doing the damn thing also.

P.S.
What happened to Jamie’s teeth? In a mintue Fab is going to have all the ladies trying to go and get the Gucci bag ole girl was rocking… Lol!! Sorry babe but I got to get this bag, cancel the second honeymoon! Lol!!!

Song and vid are hot!!!!!

Song has been in heavy rotation since yall posted it in the new music review.

Wasn’t that those twins from ATL? Have they done anything sense then?

the twins and jill marie are beautiful.. the song is bangin !!!!

I think this song has to grow on me, but I love all three artists!!!

alright .
this is going on my ipod .
lol !
like it .:)

Doesn’t Ne-yo kinda sound like a woman when he first starts to sing?

hate the song… and was fabo wearing a shirt with beyonce’s face on it? or am I seeing things?

The songs full of bull,AND I hate it , I thing it’s a JOKE, now for the gay stuff , some of hollywood black MEN like it both ways ,indeed….. And it’s just not a song ,,, as a mother if i hear my son with it , i would freak out .

I like the song, although I don’t hear brothers complaining when a broke sister in the ‘hood is taking care of a grown ass man with no job or car. We all know AT LEAST one Jody aka Baby Boy. I’m sorry fellas, but even if she got her own, you should still pay. When ya’ll start cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids at home, then you can talk about “equality.” Until then, pay up and quit whining.

…Regardless of my little “rant,” musically, the song is the bomb. LOL

ohhh Teyana looks sooo prettyyyy

o my hell.
ne-yo… god damn he old enough to be my uncle or somethin but he is SOOO FINE in this vid.
my new favorite song.
his voice is so sexy on the second verse.
jamie killed it too.
as well as fab!
I LOVE THIS SONG.

i ABSOLUTELY LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE IT!!!!
These guys are brilliant!!!!!!!!

Luvs it!!! The beat is real laid back…I hope Jaimee on his way back….

Very well said gentlemen… Finally artist are moving in the right direction with their music. I love it! That’s right, let the world know that a black women can be strong, independent and still loved.

I LOVE KEYSHIA SHE REPRESENTS ALL US GIRLS FROM THE ROUGH AREAS THAT ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL AND KNOW HOW TO CARRY OURSELVES DESPITE THINGS WE MAY HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH. GO GIRL! WHEN IN THE HELL IS JILL GONNA DO SOMETHING ELSE LOVE HER CRAZY SELF. EVE’S BEEN HIDING… LOOKS CUTE THOUGH.

What, a waste of a song brother’s nothing IN LIFE IS FREE , ask Bill Gates, and Donald Trump .

OMG. go ne-yo. im soo proud of him. but i love this song. i dnt kno wht else to say….and my girl Teyana Taylor. she sick. and fabolous…oh boy. ugh im soo excited for this song!!!!!

Yes I would like to I AGREE with all of the ladies who DID NOT LIKE THIS PUNK AZZ SONG. They the SINGERS ARE MAN-LESS AND I FEEL VERY CHEAP.
The Lyrics say: In Particular “you don’t even have to put your hands in your pocket.
YOU’VE GOT TO LOVE IT!” What The Hell Does This Suppose To MEAN tell me.
It clearly means that the woman can pay and you don’t have to spend a DIME BS.
One minute he is giving the women their props for being independent, then he is saying stuff like, THIS IS A DEDICATION SONG TO ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT WOMEN. She does’nt need mine, she’s got her own. They compliment then insult.
This is not cute at all it just shows how guys want to keep all of their money in their
pockets and shop like women. And go and get pedicures like WOMEN, stay pretty
like WOMEN. They seem to be mad that women are independent and have their own
and don’t have to EAT 10 miles of their BULLSH*T , just to be in their SUCCESSFUL
COMPANY or be their mate. You can’t act as if you are happy about an independent
women, then tell men how glad they should be if the woman does’nt need anything from you as a man due to her independents. This sounds like a real MIND GAME.
One that will not work on a real WOMAN. One who knows that a MAN HAS A CERTAIN ROLE AS A MAN IN A RELATIONSHIP. This not a dedication song by
any means. In retrospect this is a song about a cheap azz ugly pu**y lip man who
does’nt want pay for anything, and is trying to PUMP UP the woman’s EGO by telling
her that he feels that he loves her and that she is MORE attractive because SHE’S
GOT HER OWN. Please go and tell that TO SOMEONE WHO IS WEAK AND BELIEVES THIS BULLSH*T. And why he saying NE-YO saying that HE IS HER
INSPIRATION, AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Remember is’nt this song
suppose to be a DEDICATION TO THE INDEPENDENT WOMAN. Go figure peps.
He just did’nt have no other way to try and tell any woman that come in life.
Look you will have to come to me with something or else you can’t come my way.
And since when did a QUEEN HAVE TO WORK FOR HER CROWN. It’s earned
based on how she treats the KING IN HER LIFE AND THE FAMILY. NOT MONEY.
You are a big sucker and will be use and abused and served like hell talking that sh*t
like you are talking. You have just opened yourself up for being used NE-YO.
Women may have liked you at first, now you will get dropped Album sales for this one
Believe me you this is one sure way too piss off some of the people who may have liked you. But now just except the CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR OWN WORDS.

I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in #31 comments. I know they’ll have a hard time understanding this comment, but that certain individual is coming off as ignorant and racist. I mean really, how many things were wrong with that statement? Every race, black or white, latino or asian, have had both men and women supporting and holding their own to take of their family. It’s sad to see that while the rest of the world has been progressing and trying to change, that some are still stuck in the past. Is there any reason that a black man cannot appreciate a white woman just the same as he would a black woman. They’re was a major misinterpretation in #31 statement that if a black man falls in love with a white woman, then she must be trash. That she must be trying to get something out of him. I’m not sure where they got they’re facts from but if I am not mistaken, Tiger Wood’s wife, Elin, was a model, not a maid. But then again, whoever wrote that paragraph, clearly is uneducated and probably doesn’t know the first thing about research. And, if you took notice, some of the most beautiful women in the “Business” are the product of inter-racial relationships. Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, etc. So don’t be so quick to judge. As a side note, wasn’t that Golden Brooks I saw in the beginning of the video?
