New Video: Beyonce – ‘1+1’ (Director’s Cut)

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!

  5. YOOSONDALOOSE November 1, 2011

    Beautiful, cannot wait for the new ‘Live At Roseland’ and ‘Video Anthology’.

  6. RihannaNavy November 1, 2011

    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.

  7. kool kid November 1, 2011

    This is my favorite song on her new cd,4.

    What will the haters say negative about this video? They hate to see her win.

    @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

  9. Ms Lovely November 1, 2011

    Love this version! Beyonce looks great as always. Can’t wait to get my hands on those dvds

  10. Iamjm November 1, 2011

    Sooooooooo much better than the original !

  11. fearlless November 1, 2011

    this version > the original version with demons & other satanic images

  12. IMTHEBESTROFL November 1, 2011

    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.

  13. S*** (U MAD?) November 1, 2011

    I like this one MORE actually!! The other one is too Glossy, too polished, overly produced but this one seems much REALER to me & a lot more natural & effortless. 😉

  14. RihannaNavy November 1, 2011

    what you make in a year rihanna makes in a day.

  15. S*** (U MAD?) November 1, 2011

    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.

    BREAKDOWN
    RTW=99,315,348
    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 B****** 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 b****** 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. 😕

  16. THE ANTI-BEY ORGANIZATION November 1, 2011

    THIS B**** STOLE THIS WHOLE CONCEPT FROM A FRENCH MOVIE. FAKEONCE IS THE “MILLI-VANILLI” OF THIS GENERATION. SAD SAD SAD, I HOPE SHE RETURNS HALF THOSE GRAMMYS SHE WON BASED ON FRAUD. IF STEALONCE WINS A GRAMMY FOR THAT 4 ALBUM, MY ORGANIZTION WILL BOYCOTT THE GRAMMYS BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON LIES AND NOT ORIGINALITY!

  17. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) November 1, 2011

    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 😉

  18. Nicole November 1, 2011

    The lighting seems slightly different. So no ice either or water. More with her and her “man”. I like this more.

  19. LAX November 1, 2011

    Bey bring it on i am excited to see all that you or dropping, and many artist don’t drop that much if they worked their bootyt 24/7 for a year. Bey is dropping a year worth of work and then some, i guess she and her team has said ,,S*** since we can’t seem to stop/slow that dam rihanna down we will just throw the whole Kit and Kaboodle @ her ass and watch closely and see just what in the Phukkkkkkk is going to Stick!

  20. LAX November 1, 2011

    @IAMTHEBEST,,,Bytch no one cares about paying a % of their $$$ hell you have got to pay it to some one and since you dam empty heads or always WORRYING about what RIHANNA IS PAYING JAY, Just think BEYONCE has made it a point to Kick her Dad, under the Phukkkkkin Bus after all that Mr. KNOWLES HAS DONE FOR HER AND THEIR FAMILY,,,BYTCH FALL THE PUKK BAKCCCK OR BRING IT ON,,,BYTCH,,,NAVY!!!!!

  21. LAX November 1, 2011

    @ms Lovely GGGB is in the top ten in 12 countries, and that my deery
    will help RIHANNA To pay bey & Jay put that in your pipe and smoke it??????
    A %%%%%% ALL Around the Globe people with a Pukkkkkkin brain know that you pay mangers a %%%%%% air head,,,,,,Peaccccccce!

  22. Randy November 1, 2011

    why can’t she say algebRA!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  23. RihannaNavy November 1, 2011

    duh like for real
    rih got to pay the Director, the behind the scenes crew. and everybody else involved with the making!
    things don’t come free just because your name is RIHANNA or BEYONCE
    please can you see the light for once??
    of course rihanna has to pay her mangers, her band, her backup singers, and her studio sessions
    bey stans are clueless.

  24. brian b November 1, 2011

    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..

  25. ISTANN4GAGA November 1, 2011

    1+1 (THE SONG) SLAYYYYYYYYYYYS!

    Even if people think the video is “S***”,Even if it’s a “Flop”,It STILL SLAYS my soul.

    *Presses play*

    If I ain’t got nothin’,I got YOU! If I ain’t got somethin’ I don’t give a damn ‘Cause I got it with YOU! I DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ALGEBAH (B****,don’t come for her pronunciation!) but I know 1 + 1 = 2 and it’s meeeee and youuuuuuuu….. That’s all we’ll have when the world is thru

  29. King November 1, 2011

    She has to be THE ONLY artist in the world who can make a video this cheap and simple and it still be a masterpiece

  30. JER November 1, 2011

  38. mil jackson November 2, 2011

    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

  39. cocobewear November 2, 2011

    I prefer this version of the 2videos.
    Bee stop crying for the s** though. Bit beggy beggy lol.

    Powerful song and delivery.

    I prefer the other version. This video’s missing something that the other version has. Still good though.

  50. Boopi November 2, 2011

    Why can’t this heffa keep her clothes on? It seems so unnecessary.

  51. antertain November 3, 2011

    Bit better than original.
    At least she has someone to play with in the video.

    Beyonce is SUCH a FLOP that people take time to come on her post to say it.
    DOESNT = A FLOP to me.

    When you a FLOP, people dont pay attention.

    Beyonce is an ultimate performer, so hate on that!!!
