Beyonce Considers Retiring The ‘Single Ladies’ Routine

Published: Thursday 17th Jun 2010 by Trent

Are you sick of the ‘Single Ladies’ dance? Well if the reports are accurate then Beyonce is as well. News stories have stated that the vivacious entertainer is ready to retire the routine that turned the 2008 song into a mega hit. Check out what they had to say below:

“Beyoncé loves the fact the video and the routine have been so huge and has really enjoyed performing ‘Single Ladies’ live but that’s it now, she’s moving on. She doesn’t want to be part of a long-term joke, [but] that’s not to say she doesn’t get a big kick out of watching other people do it.” {Source}

Well this certainly does not come as a surprise. Having to perform that high-energy routine at every event for the rest of her life must be a startling prospect for Beyonce to imagine. Furthermore, she has grown increasingly bored of other songs such as ‘Bootylicious’ and ‘Bugaboo’ as well so it was only a matter of time before ‘Single Ladies’ joined that list. Besides, it’s doubtful that anyone expects Beyonce to be shaking her backside and tossing her lacefront at the age of 60.

Thoughts?

  2. ~Team Weezy~ June 17, 2010

    I love the “Single Ladies” performance from her, but that s*** is so dry and old now. I’m glad it’s retired because I’m tired of it!

  3. Blackout_Music_Fan1011 June 17, 2010

    She’s stupid…she gained sooo many new fans with that song. That’s like Britney saying she won’t perform Toxic or S**** 4 u anymore. Thosere their iconic hits.

  4. royalkev June 17, 2010

    Wow! I hope that’s not the case. I know Bey’s not letting these fools manipulate her into no longer singing her hits! I’ll believe it when I see her in concert next time! I think she is proud of all your major accomplishments! WTF, says that she wants to still record or perform at 60 anyway…

  5. queenB June 17, 2010

    good girl! i mean who even still does the dance these days? take a break and bring us another mega hit like WE KNOW you can do! oh and make sure to bring in a banging routine as well REINVENT YOURSELF GIRLFRIEND!

    @Blackout_Music_Fan1011 & royalkev,

    She is NOT considering retiring the song, it’s the specific dance routine that may be retired. She’ll probably switch it up and do an altered/fresh routine when performing the song.

  8. Bacqui June 17, 2010

    I love Beyonce’s songs and her moves.I will never get tired of her songs,,Never ever! I know she gonna splash some new moves.I know dat ugly nicca Jay-Zin is still doin da Single ladies routine!

  9. nothing but my opinion June 17, 2010

  10. Ghetto Fab June 17, 2010

    I loved those dance moves. The gays are the ones that gave it life. She’s right she should be moving on though. This is not really big news though. She can’t be performing that thing forever. Time to move on.

  11. b**** I’m Special June 17, 2010

    This h** doing all she can to stay in the spotlight although she said she would be taking a break.

  12. veebz June 17, 2010

    *Dead* at Beyonce swinging her lace front at 60…. I don’t think Beyonce will still be performing at 60 I think she will stop at 40

  13. Thank GOD June 17, 2010

    I think Beyonce should take a 2 year break, I like her music, but I’m just sick of her for now. I need to miss her again. If she comes back this year I will not be buying her album.

  15. royalkev June 17, 2010

    Bey don’t need a longer break than 10months. I’m sooo tired of everybody else’s favorites coming out every 6 – 8months and people telling Beyonce to chill and practically stay out the limelight forever! Everytime she’s back you hear people bumping they’re gums saying their sick of her. These people are never satisfied.

  16. booo June 17, 2010

    ghetto chick with all the caps…. i love you…

  17. HATING IS A TERRIBLE THING June 17, 2010

    BEY DONT DO IT GIRL. I AM STILL TRYING TO LEARN THE DANCE. I AM SURE SHE HAS SOMETHING ELSE GOOD FOR US. I JUST LOVE THAT PICTURE OF HER.

  18. B June 17, 2010

    I don’t know why people wouldn’t expect Beyonce to be shakin her backside at 40 or 60 or whenever. They expect Janet to do it. Doesn’t make sense to have a lower expectation for Beyonce to me.

    I think she doesn’t need to change the routine much, maybe just add some variations but not a complete overhaul of it.

  19. LoveBird June 17, 2010

    Love B and all but that hair color is not cute… and that jacket? ick. Girl.

  20. Myway June 17, 2010

    FINALLY! I mush perfer you to Rihanna but that single lady routine was just getting old! Love you tho!

  21. DANBOFFICIALL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN) June 17, 2010

    Im just sick of beyonce in general force feeding us her over the top screechy vocals…go have your babies with greasy lips and come back in a couple of years b****.

  22. stan June 17, 2010

    tina turner is still doing her “proud mary” dance at 60, so…

    but either way, she needs to completely disappear for at least a year. damn.

  23. BeyBeyBey June 17, 2010

    Bey we need your comeback!

  24. Facts Officer June 17, 2010

    If Tina (Turner) was doing it WELL into her 60’s, So will Beyonce…and that’s a FACT!

  25. Blasian June 17, 2010

    This is A LIE! I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT BLOG MADE THIS UP AND HOW PEOPLE ARE PICKING IT UP LIKE BEYONCE SAID THIS

  26. Aymanewl June 17, 2010

    Guess she didn’t like Liza Minelli’s performance of Singles Ladies in S** n the City 2 hahaha

  27. Blasian June 17, 2010

    Thats like saying she’s going to retrie the Crazy In Love Dance Single Ladies video is HUGE this didn’t come from Bee’s camp this is lie

  28. nothing but my opinion June 17, 2010

    @ DANBOFFICIALL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN)

    I’m sorry but only Xtina does that not Bey!

  29. royalkev June 17, 2010

    Well Bey doesn’t have to scrap the routine all together, just do it on special occassions. It’s classic! I’d come up with alternative versions though just to add some variety.

  30. Phil June 17, 2010

    It’s funny because Beyonce stans is always trying to make Single Ladies look like it’s something mega and major like if its a Thriller or Rhythm Nation and yet their Queen her self is tired of it already.. lol.. She knows it’s a joke that’s why she’s retiring it. I bet 20 years from now, some jackass gonna do single ladies and look real dumb doing it, like MC Hammer’s Can’t Touch This. LOLOL.. As for as Beyonce, at least she’s smarter then her fans!!

  31. raraskils June 17, 2010

    HELL NO!!!

    IF LIZA MINELLI DID IT AT AGE 70 THEN BEYONCE CAN TOO!!!

  32. royalkev June 17, 2010

    @Phil, you guys are so funny always bringing up “Rythym Nation” and “Thriller” ( off an album that sold 110 million) to make a point, so you can top Beyonce’s work. Single Ladies is far from a joke(yes, people have fun with the dance), but the song is taken seriously. You, yourself speak of it being acknowledge 20 years from now! Her fans can’t be that dumb if they recognize the same thing!

    THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME

  37. tay June 17, 2010

    SHE should consider retiring PERIOD

  38. royalkev June 17, 2010

    ^^^ Why don’t you retire!

  39. Ha June 17, 2010

    I love this dance but if she feels the need to move let it be after every time Beyonce does something it turns Platinum so B do whatever you feel fit you made it the biggest thing since Thriller so its up to you.=)

  40. SMashaCrusader June 17, 2010

    THANK U LORD! IM SO SICK OF HER AND THAT SONG, IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT SHE IS IN RETIRE ZONE ANYWAY. I WON’T MISS HER.

  41. Songbirdie June 17, 2010

    That makes absolutely no sense whats so ever!!!…She might as well throw “Crazy in Love” into that retirement as well. Joke? Why be ashamed of your legacy? Oh I get it, every artist has their “Thriller” record and right now “SL” is her…I wanna see how she gonna top that!!

  42. LUV-LEE June 17, 2010

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!!!

  43. BeysBetter June 17, 2010

    “SINGLE LADIES” is Beyonce’s “Thriller”……………Michael Jackson never performed that after he laid it to rest.

  44. GangsterA June 17, 2010

    The song is iconic stay mad

  45. anthony June 17, 2010

    So Beyonce basically do not want ppl to remember her as Ms. Single Ladies. LOL. I feel her though, SL is just to cheesy esp down the road. If Bey wants to eliminated SL then she is going to have to come out with something more powerful and meaningful to define her. Just like some one mention…. MJ N JJ will always be remembred as Mr.Thriller & Ms. Rythm Nation. So far, when I think of Bey, I think of SL.

  46. BEYONCE VS. WORLD June 17, 2010

    BEYONCE BEYONCE KEEP TALKING ABOUT HER I LOVE IT

  47. 0beloved June 17, 2010

    I SEE BEE BEE STANS HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE HER ON THIS SITE. NOW THEY TALKING ABOUT SOME HATERS. BEYONCE STANS SHOULD JUST CHANGE THEIR NAMES TO THE HATERS. THAT’S ALL THEY ARE SO YALL SHOULD NEVA TALK ABOUT HATING. ITS WHAT YALL FUCKERS WAS BORN TO DO. AND YESS SHE NEEDS TO RETIRE THE DANCE AND GO SIT DOWN. BUT HOW THE HELL U GET TIRED OF YO OWN SONG. DO YOU SEE WHITNEY GETTING TIRED OF I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU? WTF!

    IF SHE WANTED TO GET RID OF ALL THE CHEESY SONGS SHE PUT OUT SHE WOULD HAVE NO DISCOGRAPHY.

  48. DANBOFFICIALL (AALIYAH/RIHANNA/XTINA) STAN) June 17, 2010

    single ladies is pure cheese, the lyrics suck and the dance is really nothing special and LOL @ Beyonce alwyas claiming to write everything she does, when in fact she just steals peoples work and passes it off as her own……..if your not gonna write your own lyrics honey B Just admit it/

  49. BENJAMIN June 18, 2010

    I understand that dance, just by looking at it, must take a toll on the body. Especially doing it 4-5 times a week. But on the other hand, the video MADE the song, because I remember when it first came out, it didn’t get many positive reviews, inducing from myself………………until the video came out.

  50. jess June 18, 2010

    @BEYSBETTER
    Michael Jackson didn’t “retire” Thriller. He performed the song on ALL of his world tours
    (BAD TOUR, DANGEROUS TOUR, HISTORY TOUR). Stop comparing s*** that don’t need comparing

    @HA
    Single Ladies didn’t make Beyonce the biggest thing since Thriller. Lady Gaga (who I’m NO fan of) has made videos Bad Romance, Telephone that topped that.

  51. Yellow Gorilah June 18, 2010

    Huuuuh well I think she should continue doing the single ladies
    because to me That has been her biggest hit to date.. like she had everyone doing that dance so why STOP! loool makes no sense..

    And I don’t think beyonce will be here when she is 40 nope nope janet and mariah but not her she will retrie when she hit her late 30 I cant tell,, she will be all fat and pregnet loool all flabs everywhere old stinking lace wigs chillld I don’t think we would still want to see her pop her p**** then lool! =P

  52. juju June 19, 2010

    well just think everyone, how awesome will it be when in however many, many years she does the whole routine again for the fans after not having done in in so long? also i hadn’t really seen that promo pic b4 – dang those shoes! on the tippy toes
