Fix your feet.
And then get your Freak On.
It’s a tale as old as time.
And as tired as that weave, girlfriend.
First, it’s Beauty and the Beast as you’ve never seen it. And if you’ve already seen it, you need to watch it again. Because it’s that good.
Warning: This aint’ Yo Mama’s Belle, tho. Not even close. But it is somehow now a Dance Moms Six Degrees of Separation kind of moment.
When youtube sensation Todrick Hall first reinvented this Disney classic, I got a little obsessed with the video. Not gonna lie. I posted it and predicted even bigger things for him than dancing down the aisle at Target.
Then Dance Moms came along and Holly and my MomCrush Jill became my new obsessions (…which just sounded way creepier than it really is…I swear…) and you know how that’s been going lately.
Finally, the Freaks Like Me video came out and my worlds collided. Todrick doing his thang while Holly and Jill did back up dancing?
Yes, please. And then I’ll have some more if there’s any left.
And today we got word that Todrick is getting his own reality show on MTV next year.
Yaaaaas, hunty. F’realz.
A TV show. On that TV station that used to play music videos.
Now I don’t want to say I told you so, but I’m pretty sure I may have also mentioned that whole International Year of the Nia thing a few times and…well…let’s just say I’m 2 for 2.
So to celebrate Todrick’s success and give me a chance to ramble on about Dance Moms during their hiatus (…seriously, is it over yet? It’s been like forever already…) you really need to watch some Disney in da ‘hood and then Freak Out in the library one more time.
Enjoy.
And since there’s no such thing as too much Dr. Beyoncé and Principal Jill…

You’re welcome, world.
