Well, well, well…. it was honorable for Beyonce to edit out the sections of the video that were blatantly stolen from Belgian Choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaker. Good move.

You failed to mention they were legally required to edit a new version of the video. You’ll notice the controversial scenes where she stole choreography were removed

NOT TRUE! making alternae videos was part of the strategy this era from the start. same was done with RTW, 1+1. These versions are meant for fans exclusively, ie on the dvd package, the original version is still being played on tv. I dont know who’s leaking all these but is gotta stop! Andreasa or whatever her name is made her comment; kept it cute and kept it moving. this applies to u too @POP there’s nothing late about it, its on the dvd not media outlets

why wasn’t this the first version? She needs to realize that she doesn’t need to steal!
If this was the video, she would’ve had much more support behind her.
Instead she decided to steal….so glad it was fixed….let’s just hope she says something to clean up her act….she’s too talented to be so low…
If she allowed herself to really be original, she’d be unstoppable!
Here’s to hoping….

Beyonce doesn’t need to steal, this was really cute and creative. I wish the images were a bit more cohesive since I do get a bit of a ‘dance scenes in different costumes slapped together’ vibe but overall it fit her style a little better. One of the best songs she released for a single.
…and yeah….the alternate vid had all the scenes she was accused of copying removed, coughs, I think everyone noticed that.

i cannot stand beyonce with her fake ass ! she is a copycat a fraud bitch with no originality no diamond albums . she has a common voice but her stans and fanbase put her up there with mj like she has donr something in her tired career . she is a jealous cocky whore who sells sex and pops her pussy on stage , shes a bad role model. her stans /fanbase hates on other artist like mary j blige , mariah carey , michael jackson, ciara , keri hilson , ashanti , jlo , briney spears and she hasnt sold 1 million copies of 4 yet . she copies people of of youtube and does publicity stunts to stay relevant . she only holds 5 number 1 hits in her whole career . compare her wikipedia to michael jackson and you will see that this bitch has donre nothing in her career but pop her ass pose naked for playboy and steal steal steal steal for a living . i think her fans stans are jealous of other artist, just like her they hate on other artist ,saying they will never be beyonce, but beyonce is a copycat fraud with no soul in her voice.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – No one ever need organize a tribute concert for Beyonce, since she’s done such a good job staging her own self-homage with “Beyonce: Live at Roseland,” a concert DVD that also doubles as a self-directed episode of “This is Your Life.”
The second half of the program, shot during a four-night stand in August, is a nearly complete run-through of her most recent album, the possibly underrated “4.” Fan reaction to the record hasn’t been as enthusiastic as it was for Beyonce’s earlier albums, which doesn’t stop her from introducing it (without any real elaboration) as “my most defining moment.”
Preceding this is a 30-minute medley/monologue billed as “The Journey B 4,” in which the pre-2011 greatest hits of Beyonce’s and Destiny’s Child are excerpted mostly in half-minute snippets, interrupted by a self-serving stream of fact- and figure-filled historical commentary. It’s sort of like the inevitable middle act in a Diana Ross show dedicated to paying lip service to the Supremes.
It’s all highly impressive, and almost all a little annoying, if solipsism isn’t your thing. Say this for Beyonce though: Even at her most egotistical, she’s strangely never less than utterly likable. She might actually be the world’s most good-natured megalomaniac.
Part 1 was probably more fun to experience at Manhattan’s Roseland ballroom than it is to watch on home video — especially if you already own a copy of “I Am… Yours – An Intimate Performance in the Encore Theater,” a 2009 DVD filmed in Vegas that included a scripted Destiny’s Child mega-medley almost identical to this disc’s.
In the intervening two years, apparently no one told her she needed a script doctor to reshape a life story that goes a little like this:
“And the hits just kept on coming! But the success just wasn’t enough to keep Destiny’s Child together… With a lot of success comes a lot of negativity… Now it’s 2002, and I just finished co-starring in my first No. 1 movie, ‘Austin Powers’… They told me I didn’t have one hit single (on ‘Dangerously in Love’). I guess they were right. I had five!… All the hard work (portraying Etta James) paid off, since it got me my second Golden Globe nomination… ” And then this: “What do you do after 16 Grammys and millions of records sold? Whatever makes you happy!”
Repeated triumphs over show-biz adversity aside, no one will be mistaking this for an Elaine Stritch one-woman show.
Part 2 proves far more satisfying, even though Beyonce may be overestimating “4″ as the culmination of her career to date, if only because the tunes all last more than a minute each and there is no further boasting about the accolades she has earned from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Liberated from the lousy patter to pay tribute to songs instead of herself, she is… fairly glorious. Naturally.
Almost across the board, the live versions of the “4″ material are more invigorating than the studio equivalents, with Beyonce’s's eight-piece all-female band making everything sound like the great cross-pollination of contemporary urban and ’70s soul you’d hope for.
(You do have to wonder what that 10-piece string section — also all-female — is doing constantly sawing away directly behind Beyonce’s, besides providing visual props, since you’d be hard-pressed to ever hear cellos and violins in the mix.)
“End of Time” is a particular stunner, with drummer Cora Coleman-Dunham transforming an already martial beat into something like a one-woman marching band drum corps.
And Bey is at her best on “Love on Top,” which takes what is a very tired diva stunt — repeated octave changes — so far over the top that the trick officially becomes spectacular again. It doesn’t hurt that she’s employing her mastery of multiple key changes not on some hackneyed ballad but on a fun, Motown-inspired romp.
“4″ had more balladry than we’d heard on a Beyonce’s album in a while. Three of the first four songs featured from the album fall into that category, climaxing with the memorable sight of the singer kneeling on a piano top for “1 + 1,” allowing us a chance to focus exclusively on the super-humanness of her thighs… and, sure, vocal prowess that seems almost irritatingly effortless.
It’s all good until the closing “I Was Here,” a self-celebratory anthem that seems to be arriving a few decades earlier than any superstar’s valedictory ballad should. While Beyonce sings about the mark she’s making on the world, you get random footage of the star traveling the world, admiring a portrait of Gandhi, earning more awards, greeting Make-a-Wish kids, and hanging with Nelson Mandela, Michael Jackson, Obama, and Oprah.
Oh, well. The straightforward performances were fun while they lasted, before they gave way not just to that terrible closing montage but also auteurist end credits that have Beyonce’s giving herself title cards as director, executive producer, and co-show-director/choreographer.
It may be up to true diva devotees, of course, to rightfully determine whether all this sweet self-congratulation counts as hubris when we’re dealing with an actual goddess.
