Beyonce does a ‘take 2′ on ’1+1′ – the critically acclaimed ballad lifted from her similarly praised platinum ’4′ album. Bee’s ‘buzzing’ Halloween costume is certainly fitting as the releases of the visuals for ‘Party’, ‘Love on Top’, ‘Countdown’, and others (all surfacing in a short period of time) are assuredly building buzz for her video anthology (and ‘Live at Roseland’) DVD dropping in three weeks.
While we’ve acquainted you with the behind the scenes action, fans have now been welcomed to the director’s edition. Does the clip make the cut? You decide after the jump:
Set for inclusion on Beyonce’s video anthology, check for this visual and others on shelves November 21st!

Is Beyonce a Music Video Artist now????
all she seems to be doing is releasing music videos every week, but she’s still flopping so she could release as many videos all she wants it’s still not going to help her sales, 4 is struggling at number 50 on Itunes album charts
while LOUD being out for 12 months is 41 on the Itunes album chart. sad. for bey stans.

@RihannaNavy
LOL @ you not stating the actual chart positions on Billboard 200. Itunes only accounts for a small portion of album sales, compare to physical release. FYI ’4′ is #21 on the billboard 200(album charts), while ‘loud’ is at #68 and still can’t scan 2mil(even with all the multiple hit songs). Don’t get mad at Beyonce for being able to afford putting out videos for her fans and not owing the record company(unlike Rihanna’s puppet ass). The shade is, Beyonce is still selling and is about to cross the 1mil mark without any major hit songs. Stay mad and bothered

You Rihanna fans seem to want to always pitch Beyonce against Rihanna. Well whilst Rihanna’s making money from her music, guess who gets a chunk? Jay-Z. So Rihanna’s success is putting money in Bey’s pocket. I don’t think she’s gona be complaining. Gotta agree with Ms Lovely there, she can afford to pay to make her own videos, especially since she became partner at Columbia.

4 is R&B so you Haters prove to be really DESPERATE & really REACHING!!!!
How is she washed-up when her views on youtube video from 4 era are 191,098,043.

BTINH=51,746,877
1+1=16,567,567
CD=9,378,504
LOT=7,714,862
PARTY=6,374,885
You know what THIS means???
now only is she still very RELEVANT. It means Bitches are LISTENING to her MUSIC… Thats EXACTLY what she wanted, its her STRATEGY. ;lol: She knows the industry is to SHALLOW to buy the album (They want GIMMICKS & FAST FOOD Generic Singles & Bey WONT give them that) but she WILLL give these bitches VIDEOS & they will LISTEN!!!
bey is the MST SUCCESSFUL act out of All her peers & today is selling more than them. She doesnt need to focus on out doing NEWer artist when shes already surpassed them & they arent even in her same league.

This is better, but still not good.Well, at least it’s not an epic nightmare like the original.It’s good that she has another version out, because the original wasn’t well received at all…
’1+1′ is still one of my favorites off of ’4′.It’s a really good ballad with a great melody even though the lyrics are cheesy and the “you” note is overdone.It’s a good song overall, a different sound.Too bad they couldn’t get it right with the video.At least there is that ‘American Idol’ performance, so if I want to watch a video for the song, I can pretend that this performance is the video

of course rihanna has to pay her mangers, her band, her backup singers, and her studio sessions

1. beyonce is still relevant, she will never not be relevant, she has cemented her place in pop culture.. Rihanna will always be mentioned behind Beyonce as “the girl who almost took her crown”.. no one will ever say she was better than Beyonce.. she can have 30 number 1 singles but all people will remember is that Beyonce was the queen of this era…
All You Rihanna stans can scream and shout and “state facts” but truth is while your favourite waits for a pay cheque beyonce, Jay-z is spending that money on his wife Beyonce, so she wins either way..

This one is not as good as the original only because the Scene changes in the original were much better… I kinda wish she would stop crying on her slow songs now because shes doing that in too many slow songs…
I dont want to lose the feeling I get when I see her cry.. PASSION.. It shouldnt be a show it should be a release of emotion thats uncontrollable when she does it. I think the First one was the best… Still I appreciate All of Beyonces Hardwork and Dont mind seeing the directors cut not one bit. Not sure id watch it again though.. Im happy she didnt pick this version
