My obsession of the day…

…is Jordin Spark’s newest video, “No Air” featuring Chris Brown. I saw the video for the first time today as I was getting ready in the morning, and literally stopped what I was doing and could not stop watching. I liked the song, but the video just makes it ten times [...]
