Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” CENSORED
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007
As the credits rolled on a “My Super Sweet 16 Remix” yesterday, MTV aired the video for Sean Kingston’s song “Beautiful Girls.” What viewers quickly realized, however, was that the song appeared severely edited and censored. Since this video’s airdate on July 3, 2007, many fans have been wondering why the song has been so heavily edited. Below is the CENSORED video for “Beautiful Girls,” exclusively from WatchingMTV.com.
The song’s normal lyrics go like this:
You’re way too beautiful girl
That’s why it’ll never work
You’ll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it’s over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it’s over
In the edited version, the word “suicidal” is completely cut out. This word is the cornerstone of the song, so the edit job truly changes the song’s core. What do you think: is the edit fair, or is it a faulty act of censorship?
