Beyonce‘s ‘Pretty Hurts’ video has been garnering buzz aplenty since arriving on VEVO this past week.

The visual for the Sia-penned cut has been served up as the latest to be lifted from the superstar’s surprise visual album, which continues to sell by the bucketload four months after release.

Directed by Melina, fans can now watch a behind the scenes feature on how the powerful clip was pieced together.

      If Beyonce was not pretty i doubt that she would make it as far as she has. If Beyone was not a pretty light skin chick with curly hair her fake husband JayZ would not want to align himself with her.

    The only reason I love this song is because the flawless Sia wrote it!! T********* could NEVER write something like this.

    Sia is undoubtedly one of the most important people in music!!

  3. Brandys Starr April 27, 2014

    Welp. Beyonce is lucky shes pretty but doesn’t rely on her image with little else to sell like others do. She has more to her.

  4. metzo April 27, 2014

    I love this video so much!!.btw, has anyone listened to Ariana Grande Problem yet? It’s gonna SLAY the charts!! The song is so catchy.

  5. metzo April 27, 2014

    The haters ‘re so annoying.Like shut the F*** up already

  6. cake like lady gaga April 27, 2014

    I like how Sia told the whole world she wrote this song when the album dropped. If she didn’t, t********* would be going around telling everyone she wrote it herself like she has done 985685257825 times.

    • Hadley April 27, 2014

    • Hadley April 27, 2014

      Lol all this shows is Rihanna still struggles with all the promo and #1s under the sun while Beyonce has nothing week after week.

      • Sass April 27, 2014

        Right. Theres not much difference considering. The Navy love dragging themselves.

    • Sass April 27, 2014

      Then Umbrella is Britneys song.

      • Mark111 April 28, 2014

        Then Hit Me Baby One More Time is TLC song.

    • H2O April 27, 2014

      Thanks for reminding us “Beyonce” will outsell “Unapologetic” and “Talk That Talk”, just like “The Mrs. Carter Show” outgrossed “Diamonds World Tour” globally.

  8. Hadley April 27, 2014

    I wonder if she will perform this at the billboard awards.

    • H2O April 27, 2014

      Most likely.

    • BEYHIVE_MINAJ April 27, 2014

      I’m sure she will! There’s a reason she hasn’t been performing this song live,she’s probably been saving it.

  9. Sass April 27, 2014

    This is one of my fav videos on the album along with Rocket, Haunted and Blue.

  10. Stephy April 27, 2014

    Beyonce is one of the best looking women in show business history.

    • LOL April 27, 2014

  12. Career Ender April 27, 2014

    instead of helping Gaga grace any chart it is busy observing and googling Beyonce news.

    plays Gaga’s Artpop (song), dedicates it to the world wide charts

  13. Rih Rox April 27, 2014

    Ewwww!!!! MANyonce.

  14. Career Ender April 27, 2014

    ive never seen it defend flopga ever. I think it is a BeyHive in denial.

    im heading to Hillbrow, I want some service, how much is 1 hour ? @cake like flopga

  15. BEYHIVE_MINAJ April 27, 2014

    QUEEN! I’m ready to see this live!

  16. Kendall April 27, 2014

    She is gorgeous. Pretty hurts has a great message too. Good job Sia for creating it, Milina for visualizing it and of course Beyonce for delivering it excellently.

  17. rita, Rih Rih is the megstar u will never be April 27, 2014

    LOL sam you and david are still dissing mariah on twitter, why? What do u get out of it? U will never be worth 500 mill liker her. Or, are u doing it to detract from the fact that, even after all that promo, RITA WHORA HAS DROPPED OUT OF THE ITUNES 100 CHART, in fact she dropped out yesterday, her peak was 71.

    Meanwhile Ariana Grande is number 20 and her song has not yet been heard. Thought You, @ritaoranation, beyonce and Rita herself said she was gonna finally put a STOP to rihanna ?

    • rita, Rih Rih is the megstar u will never be April 27, 2014

      SAM,

      RITA WHORA IS 109 ON USA ITUNES. Thought she was coming to END RIH RIH career and takeover in the US?

  18. cake like lady gaga April 27, 2014

  19. FutureCIARA April 27, 2014

  24. Alesha April 27, 2014

    She too has had plastic surgery so is message to herself as well?

    • pussyy juice lover April 27, 2014

      lol probably, fake ho.

  25. naquanbooker@gmail.com April 27, 2014

    Prbobably the best video of her career

  26. coolness April 27, 2014

    Initially, I felt this was the weakest song on the album and not a good opener for what was to come but I get it now. The message behind it is so powerful and has a lot of substance and in my opinion, the video is one of Bey’s best. I get why she chose this as a single. She wants to shut those people up who are saying her album is full of ‘pornographic’ material. There’s more substance to her and she’s tapped into it. Melina Matsoukas is an amazing director! Her reportoire also includes Ciara’s Go, Work and Gimme Dat (some of her BEST videos) and RiRi’s epic We Found Love. Such a talented young woman.

  27. fatusankoh April 27, 2014

    Omg queen bey is so talented I love the song the video she slay like no one in the business god I love her more power to you bey their is no one like our bey good luck and more blessing

  28. April 27, 2014

    Wide Ass Neck

  29. Mark111 April 28, 2014

    Another thing that Rihanna beat Beyonce to the punch.

  30. Let Us Praise God ONLY April 30, 2014

    These Beyonce fans are truly possessed by water demonic messages that Beyonce has in her music. I read that there is a church in Georgia for Beyonce worshippers and that one girl died last week as a sacrifice to Beyonce. So i repeat. BEYONCE FANATICS ARE POSSESSED.

    It is truly evident when reading the comments. Who does that ? Who degrades other people over their opinion on a brand ( Beyonce Carter ).

    ONLY GOD SHOULD BE PRAISED. GOD’S CHILDREN DO NOT WORSHIP FALSE IDOLS. GOD PLEASE HELP THESE CHILDREN AND HELP THEM TO SEE BEYONCE FOR FOR WHAT SHE IS. PLEASE LEAD THEM AWAY FROM THE EVIL IN BEYONCE’S MUSIC.
