I think you had some good insight when you said that she started the video wearing all black clothes and really wouldn't stand out among a crowd, and with her lip gloss on, her outfit suddenly changed to the eye catching purple and white outfit with her jewelry sparkling. It really casts a new light on the subtleties of the video's superficiality. (Posted to Henry)
I think that your analysis of the video is dead-on. However I would try to analyze another possibility - Lil Mama says "what you know 'bout me" and so perhaps she is saying how we're all so caught up in being "cool" that we never know the person under the cool, all we know is that they're the cool kid for a reason.
I think the best thing you pointed out was "So even the authority figures are conspiring to support the extraordinariness of the teen. This extraordinariness, then, can't be a rebellion against the established authority figures, but it can be a dance party in the lunch room" I didnt put real thought into that part at first, but thinking about it now, doesn't it make your extraordinariness a hollow position? WIth no one to contest it, you havent really accomplished all that much. (Posted to Andy)
