...another level. We see the shades a lot, because the choice of visuals is either that or cleavage. While it’s not the most groundbreaking premise for a music video, recent history has shown that the combination of scantily-clad women and R. Kelly leads to chart success (and occasionally court dates). Suffice it to say that eye candy is in plentiful supply. Yet the visuals tire quickly, with amusing cameos from T.I. and T-Pain providing the only counterpoints to an endless succession of quick cuts featuring R. Kelly, people’s (now ex-) girlfriends...
...these spectacles, we might have a good time. As half of music’s most talked-about power couple, Beyoncé uses “Upgrade U” to remind her audience that she’s still an independent woman capable of creating her own chart-topping singles.

Rather, part of her competence as a teacher lay in her sense of when to leave me to chart the daily course, if not the greater trajectory, of my education on my own. Hers was a deliberate lesson in self-sufficiency: When the substance of my "homework" failed to satisfy, I was at liberty to educate myself at the local library. And if, on occasion, a difficult question perplexed even...
