Kiely Williams is a former “Cheetah Girl” and what makes this entire thing even worse is that she’s — obviously — a woman.
Williams latest single, “Spectacular”, has hit the airwaves and has already caused quite a controversy: the song is about date rape. And a woman being okay with it. Some of the lyrics include phrasing such as:
Last I remember I was face down
Ass up, clothes off, broke off, dozed off
Even though I’m not sure of his name
He could get it again if he wanted
Cause the sex was spectacular
The sex was spectacular
The sex was spectacular
The sex was spectacular
A few more compelling lines from the lurid song cry, “What was I drinking, I can’t believe I blacked out … I hope he used a rubber, or I’m a be in trouble, problem is I don’t remember. ”
Need I say how personally disgusted I am by this song — and not just because it’s tacky, classless and tasteless. This artist, this woman, glamorizes date rape, of all things, kind of like Ke$sha has glamorized being a pre-pubescent drunkard. These are the songs that become the anthems of today’s children, sadly enough.
While I think her music is complete crap and know that no self-respecting friend of mine would probably listen to such garbage and consider it “music”, there are far more easily-influenced young girls (and men) out there who just don’t need to be de-sensitized to the ails of society — especially date rape.
Disney must be so proud in the way that they’ve turned out such upstanding talent upon the world.

I just hate everything about this.
Please excuse my language… but…
Fuck that stupid fucking bitch.
This is just absolutely, completely, entirely disgusting. She should be ashamed of herself. And so should her mother.
Concurred! Most wholeheartedly!
Agreed. I mean, I am absolutely for freddom of expression, but this is disgusting….
*FREEDOM
Wow did you all check out Kielys World and listen to her talking about the song. That was seriously the funniest and saddest thing i’ve seen in a while.
“It’s not about date rape…it’s just not…”
And how creative did she feel with the whole “We are the World” and “I kissed a girl” comments.
Yeah the “outrage” just stems from the fact that you used to be a Cheetah Girl and has nothing to do with it being a horrible song…
I watched her response to the outrage, too. She says that she’s not condoning date rape in the song, but instead she’s drawing attention to the fact that some girls go out and get too drunk and think that they’re having a good time. She says, “Don’t shoot the messenger.” The thing is, though, the song is misleading, because it says “the sex was spectacular.” Perhaps she’s trying to be ironic, but most people are not going to take it that way, and (rightly) infer that she’s condoning date rape. Sigh. I just don’t know what to think of all this.
I even tried to listen to it. Survived a whole minute even. I think my ears are bleeding from how offended I am and how nonchalant the description of date rape is.
WHAT. THE. FUCK. I just… have no words.
As someone who has been raped I feel scared that this song exists.
I wasnt thinking about how “spectacular” the sex was when I got first degree burns on my back from how hot the shower was, and the raw skin I had from a pumice stone when I tried to scrub away the shame I felt was all over me.
Woah I’m so sorry… :(((((((((((((((((
[...] Kiely Williams Glamorizes Date Rape Through Song – Zelda Lily [...]
What. The. Fuck.
I’m completely shocked…. I thought i had already heard the worse “come rape me” song of all times when i heard rude boy by rhianna, but this totally tops the list………..
Wow.. Just wow… And then they wonder why they get it, and complain about it.. Just so fucking ignorant, and tasteless, and offensive to those who have, in fact, been in a situation like that. My stomach hurts after hearing this shit…
Words fail me.
This is a punch in the face to every person who has ever been raped. How disrespectful can you be?
This is so very very wrong.
Oh god. What was she thinking? Was she thinking? Do we actually call this ‘music’? How can she think that this is ok? Ever? Guy like this Knepper type, who said that date rape is self-inflicted and that the girls actually want it, will use stuff like that for their stupid arguments. Shit like this is never ok. Arrrrgh…..
The bit about the condoms really is shocking, too. But that’s probably, because I’ve started to feel like a sex-ed teacher lately…guys don’t use them. They don’t know what to do with them. They either can’t keep it up with a condom or go on forever because they can’t come. Don’t they have any self-preservation instinct?? And who are the girls that tell them that it’s ok?? Arrrgh…..
(PS: How can she know about the quality of the sex, if she was passed out and can’t remember anything?)
what the flying fuck is this. HORRIBLE.
Sick. I dont know whos more to blame, her or those who pull her strings. Both parts I guess. But isnt what the sheeple ask after all? Sex&violence? Then u got it, dont complain.
Its not a very good song musically, and it is mixed badly.
What I hope you ladies do not know is that if you have been raped many many times you become so desensitized to it that you can judge your rapist on performance! It can actually seem like good sex, because your brain disallows any emotion from ANY sex. I have been raped LOTS, by more than one person on MANY occasions. And the time I got dateraped i literally didn’t care, and it felt good. So I can very much relate to this song in that way.
It doesnt put out a good message, but from the point of view of this rape survivor it puts into words some of the confusing thoughts I have.
…and, thanks to the raging PTSD block in my brain, it inspires no emotion in me. I could put in on repeat and go to sleep!
I relate to this a lot, I remember after it happened the first time sex had no emotion involved, it was me just getting drunk and sleeping with whoever or letting anyone do anything to me. I didnt care anymore. I even got ego over the fact that guys wanted me so bad they did whatever they could to be with me, how twisted is that
When I went to rehab for alcoholism I had to talk about a lot of that stuff with counsellors and therapists and the real feelings I experienced after the first time and the feelings I twisted after consecutive times came back and I was able to face that, not having alcohol to run too anymore.
After rehab it took me a really long time to trust guys again, but I knew what I wanted in a relationship and I wasnt going to let any guy walk on me. When I look back, what has happened to me hurt me deeply, scarred me, but Im not that same girl anymore, and facing those real feelings and not hiding behind alcohol or rationalization or delusions of grandeur helped me to not go back to that lifestyle, to respect myself more. It was quite amazing
All power to you for not being a victim. :)
I rather liked the mix,would probably work well for a high school pom pom routine!
*shaking head* You always make me laugh. And then feel dirty for laughing…
Like Family Guy!
You either laugh or cry on most of this stuff.
sometimes both
Fucking hell it’s a bad song, absolute rubbish. And she’s disgusting. Retard.
Don’t hold back dear,tell us how you really feel.
Bahahah I have anger management issues.
[...] Williams glamourizes date rape in her new [...]
Honestly, this just sounds more like a drunken whore’s night out than date rape to me. I heard this full song somewhere else, and it really does sound more like some drunken skank’s average Saturday night than date rape to me.
(Sexual) freedom. It’s a bitch….
There’s a difference between being sexually liberated and being a complete whore. Liberated, I think, means you’re not afraid of your sexuality, you know what you want and get it. Being a whore, I also think, just means screwing anything with opposite genitalia.
*Hollywood starlet* my grandmother’s ass.
This chick isn’t even a blip on the radar screen. This song is a sad attempt to get attention.
“Hollywood starlet” my grandfather’s hairy, irregularly bordered mole….er, never mind.
This song is really the most contrived piece of drek I’ve ever had the displeasure of sitting through. I agree with ryojiin. While it smacks slightly of date rape. The context of the song sounds more like some whore doing what she does best. I can’t believe this chick was associated with Disney. What the hell was she trying to say with this song? Oh wait. NOTHING. It’s all for attention. Girl is just running her mouth off and not even looking at the consequences of anything she’s saying. What happens to the little girls who watched her when she was a “Cheetah” and then listen to this garbage. GAH! I think I threw up a little in my mouth thinking about it.

Whatever she THINKS it’s about, it’s not. It’s about date rape. And it’s deplorable.
