The second video of Beyonce’s dual release, ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ premiered today on MTV. As with the ‘If I Were A Boy’ clip, this video was directed by Jake Nava. About it, I must say, as a performance piece (which it is in its entirety), the video really is something. The high octane choreography drives home the fact that there are few that can do what Ms. Knowles does when doing her. That said, it wouldn’t have hurt to see something a little more visually stimulating than just the same background and set-up. Still, that doesn’t take away from what is, no doubt, a great video.
What do you think of the video?

the dancing is hott. as long as the music is put on mute, the video is fine.
Yesssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!! Get you some B. I live. Sorry for all you other h***. Its a wrap….so pack ya s*** because Kween B is back and she’s about to attack. Yea mam.
I am sorry but these same “get me bodied” dropping on the floor shaking my ass dancing is over! She is not the queen as she keeps doing the same type of songs! The whole damn video was the same scene, s*** my little sister could have got her 2 girls together and filmed this video on their own! I was expecting something better! This was nothing to write home about at all!
Like who films a video nowadays with str8 dancing through only one scene….Only Beyonce…and I live…Her body goes of, the dancing is on point and the song is crazy…you have to love it and she was bucking…no one has ever done that on t.v. besides the danceteams in DrumLine!…everyone needs to get a clue shes stamped and she is the QUEEN!!!
that video is whack…I just don’t think anything special of it. It looks like the other low-budget videos she released off her last album, which she directed herself. I agree with the person who commented by saying that all the booty-hopping dancing stuff is nothing new. I’d rather watch Ciara’s Go Girl video. I think B shoudl stick to telling stories. I like the video for If I Were A Boy. It allows us to see the personality and depth of a girl many claims has none!
to 8:28. The video is supposed to be simple as its all about the dancing. Dont hate cuz u cant dance like Bee. and yall know it was hot. One Scene or not its THE S***!!!! everyones gonna be talking about this! And did yall see that smile she gave at the end! I’ve died and gone to heaven.
Boring as hell.
It’s ok…It looks like it was choreographed by a dancer for an HBCUs marching band. I went to Hampton Univ and she looks like she was a part of the Ebony Fire (the name of the girls who danced with the marching band). It’s not bad and it’s not great.
The song is wack and the it vid is even worse. Ciara is a WAAAAAYYYYY better dancer. I’m sick of the same crap for Bey, she’s never impressed me. Its the same booty dance over and over. The vid is bland and boring. Step it up Bey, you are too much talent to waste.
I like the video its simple but classic Beyonce.. She doesnt have to split and stuff cause the Beyonce performances are always better live.. Ciara videos are better cause she isnt as good live.. Two different artist two different directions please stop comparing them.. Beyonce is one if the biggest artist in the WORLD!! Ciara is one the best DANCERS in the nation
this video is str8 up garbage and the dancing is wack and high school-ish lame!!!!!!1
Next! Beyonce is offically the most overrated artist of her generation.
Amazing video, so original and focused on Beyonce’s moves. She is the best artist we have. Go B’
I Love Beyonce, but I expected more… from the first looks we got I at least expected a different background, thought they shot it in a blue or green box… and what’s that thing with this Terminator-Hand? Don’t get it. Though that str8 dancing thing is cool all in all the video is a bit colourless and boring. Could have done def. better and more… I was thinking her disappearing “like a ghost” by that line. Got me?
Nevertehless I still love her and can’t wait for her album.
I gotta say, she has definitely gotten better at dancing even though she’ll never be a Ciara or Janet. but you can tell that she has been practicing alot, because its not natural looking. Ummm….. What was with the whole video being dancing in the same scene, i was expecting like an amazing break of different dancing. I dont B, this is 08 and u gotta a lot of competition, u better step ur game up.
its definitely at the bottom of this weeks video premieres and Ciara is at the top following Britney’s amazing comeback.
-Taylor Payne
To the one that tried to come for me and say I can't dance Like Bey…LMAO, as I am not trying to dance bi%^&! I am sorry I give props when they are do, she is so damn overrated, and yall know this Video is boring mess. We can go to the club and see this every night. To whoever said it looks like somebody from a marching band choregraphed this…I am cracking up as I agree with you.
P.S. Ciara's video was MUCH MORE CREATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn haters… I guess Beyonce and Ciara would laugh out alaoud when they read all of this crap. Why do people always have to compare. This topic is about the video. Not bout Beyonce or bout who is better. Stop that. It really bores.
Cool dancing buttt did they think she was Kelly or Michelle when the decided the videos budget?
Well maybe if Beyonce wouldnt steal Ciara’s “Like a Boy” idea or her multiple disc for her upcoming album idea, wouldnt compare them, but beyonce cant help her self so neither can WE! And this s*** was so bogus if u want me to be real. I totally agree with “Anon”, the whole thing is low budget, she needs to stop spending a million on her hair and put ii into her video.
-Taylor Payne
This video is hoooootttt!!! OMG! What other artist do u know of could dance during the whole video and captivate u like that!?!?!? Damn Beee!!!! I love it!
Dancing was good but the video itself was boring as hell! Come on B! I know you want 2 be different but just one scene throughout the whole video! I still love you and I know when you do it live, you go kill it!!
she is gettin tired and im sick of everyone saying she is changing the sound. tryin to force the same “sound” and doin the same beat and same tired ass dance moves is not different. she is the same. we have had the same thing from her for 8 years now. we need a change….OBAMA-BIDEN 08
WOW! ALOT OF PEOPLE ON HERE MUST NOT HAVE LIVES OR AT LEAST SOMETHING WORTH LIVING FOR. IF U DON’T LIKE BEYONCE THEN DON’T WATCH HER VIDEOS OR LISTEN TO HER MUSIC. THE SAME GOES IF U DON’T LIKE CIARA OR RIHANNA. DEVOTE THE ENERGY AND TIME U SPEND EVERYDAY ON HERE AND OTHER BLOGS HATING ON CELEBRITIES AND ARGUING WITH IMAGINARY PEOPLE ONLINE TO SOMETHING MORE PRODUCTIVE LIKE VOLUNTEERING. IM NOT A HUGE FAN OF THE CELEBRITIES THAT I NAMED BUT I TAKE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE AND NOT FOR WHAT PEOPLE HYPE THEM UP TO BE. I THOUGHT THE VIDEO WAS COOL AS WELL AS CIARA’S AND BRITNEY’S. ARE THEY GONNA CURE CANCER, NO IT’S A VIDEO. THAT’S IT. IF U DON’T LIKE TURN.
I am loving the dance routine…ANd shout out to the girl that went to HU (the real HU)…lol..Hampton University……I was in EBony FIre…and yes…I she does look like she belongs in our group..lol….I am looking the natural look, the old skool feel of the video…I am loving the Tina Turner movements she was giving us…she has practiced because she was looking so natural..I am glad Beyonce is back…and I cant wait until I see a legit vieo for this song…it will look ten times better..lol..GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOO BBBBBBBBEEEEEEYYYOOONNNCCCCEEEEEE
Ok Taylor Payne…
Nothing personal but I really can’t stand it any longer. This whole she stole the “I’m a boy-thing” is just ridiculus. It’s talked bout that quite enough now and I think we (that is Beyonce fans and Ciara fans) just don’t get together in that part. Nobody owns such an idea and that songs and videos concept is all different from Ciaras, so what’s that all good for. And neither Beyonce nor her label ever said anything about a multiple disc set or stuff.
– Justin Meyer
CIARA! could have done this 10x better. im only saying this cuz someone asked. so dont call me a hater, just the truth. And i watch beyonce’s video because i had hope.
To Justin Meyer:
I know the video is not the same…b could never do what Ci did in that hot ass video, but Beyonce stole the concept of the song. And everyone says that beyonce was changing her style and all this other s*** and then i see this stuff and im like damn B, what happen? I dont hate Beyonce, i just wanted something creative and she really disappointed me because i was actually excited to see what she was coming out with.
Stuppes…
I like this new direction she is going, but I see a lot of people are just not getting it at all..
Maybe next week the light bulb will come on and it’s like, OK!!1 I get it!!!
This is why this chick earned 82 mil in a year.
People start thinking out of the BOX and maybe it will come to you what she is doing….
This is not the year when she first came out solo or with a group, this is 2008 and she dont brought her new direction..You asked for change and she is giving it to you straight with no chaser…
Go Beyonce!!!
Y’all so used to Rihanna’s no dancing and no singing self y’all dont know what to do…Ciara may canc dance, but she cant do it all at once. The Music Industry got y’all all messed up!!!! But still buy the CD on 11/18/08.
BEYONCE IS BACK!!!!! YES MA’AM… FOR ALL U HATIN QUEENS, SHE STANDS ALONE SHE IS THE STANDARD FOR MUSIC RITE NOW SO JUS BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN!!! NOT THE AVERAGE JUS THE BADDEST!!
But maybe apart from Single Ladies I think she was very creative and really changed her style…somehow.
I mean putting out a first single like If I Were A Boy is way different if one remember Crazy In Love or Deja Vu. And that video is really outstanding and pleasure to watch. She could have taken the easy way and release a song like the ones I named. But she really wanted ti show that there is more and that she can do other things than Jay Z collabos.
LMAO…..”Ciara can’t do that all at once”. FUNNY. Ciara can do this better and sing at the sametime all at once. And i got evidence. This is my video that i recorded at her concert. watch for ur self fool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t84EFnTD1Nc
p.s. Dont get it twisted, Ciara is 08/09.
-Taylor Payne
this one is better. Not only did she sing beautifully. She performed the whole dance.
"Promise"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d01Oi_R-PJo&NR=1
-Taylor Payne
and she sings to me in the promise video…lol.
-Taylor Payne
I’m really sick of this
Why not just wait till the albums drop
Then we’ll all finally see who is “better” and sells more
Personally I think, Ciara has no impact.
I’m from Europe and if you ask, nobody would know bout a Ciara or could name some songs or anything. Beyonce is the hottest chick in RnB (and with hot I mean most talented and best selling and most succesfull) so just let it go for now. The albums will drop and then we’ll see.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NOT YOU. I MEANT TAYLOR PAYNE
Thats because she hasnt mad her international success. But she already stated that she is making this project an international one with a world-wide tour and a more creative, universal sound. but like u said we will see who sells more. Beyonce beat Ciara with dbut album and sophmore sales, but Ciara is taking over man, im telling you. ur in for a shocker if u havent realized that alot of people are already dissappointed with Beyonce direction. but what ever Ciara will have more first week sales, no doubt.
-Taylor Payne
and whoever called me a loser needs to get a life cuz they just hating on the truth and Ciara….lol
-Taylor Payne
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CIARA IS A MAN!! EAT MY SNATCH!!
"but what ever Ciara will have more first week sales"
Hahahaha, sorry, but NEVER is that about to happen
Ciara can try how hard she wants, she never will be as big as B in >Europe. Not saying she has no fans, but Beyonce is a whole other level ABOVE Ciara. That's a fact. Ciara had a hit with Goodies, but after that she got forgotten. Her songs and vids aren't even playd on heavy rotation. I never would spend a Cent for a Ciara CD.
I like Beyonce but I am so disappointed in these two videos. I don’t knwo what else to say. Yeah the girl got talent you can’t deny it but all her stuff sounds the same nothing new. Hey but its just my opinion not gonna loose sleep on it but this was just whack. I suggest beyonce get a new look and let somebody else write her music becuz this is weak. Regardless there are still those who are going to love it and say it is the best half of which are gay and want to be beyonce. Snap 4 the kids
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!!
hey, i’m not gay and still love beyonce and the new songs… they are growers, and i don’t say that to hide the fact that they may be bad stuff cuz they’re not
That was a s***** mess.
I heard Ciara was a man also. I think he had s** with Taylor Payne.
CIARA’S A MAN, CANT SING, CANT PERFORM, AND HAS NO MASS APPEAL
11/18/08 – GAME OVER!
BTW THERE IS NO WAY EVEN ON BEE’S WORST DAY THAT CIARA COULD EVER OUT SELL HER
LOL!! Stop it!! LEAVE TAYLOR ALONE!!!!
I just saw the video on MTV HITS. It’s way better than that s*** on YOUTUBE.COM. You have to actually see the real video. WAY BETTER!!
love the OGRAPHY!!!
I’m not a hater, I like Beyonce but… I’m kinda dissapointed… I mean if this is the real video…
And I think I don’t like the song either… And the other song – “If I Were A Boy” – it’s just OK…
And please don’t be rude to people that don’t like the new singles and videos from Beyonce – I guess everybody has the right to give their opinion… It’s just that…
BTW, the video that I really can’t wait to see is Mariah’s new single “I Stay In Love”… The song is great and the video’s gonna be HOT!!! :))) Have a look at Mariah Daily Journal for some pics…
-Bobby from Bulgaria-
The choreography was booty (literally). Beyonce looks so raunchy when she ATTEMPTS to dance. I really hope she did not pay anyone to choreograph that. I hope she choreographed that herself. If she payed someone to choreograph that she needs ask for her money back because that was straight garbage. Whoever choreographed that needs to run and hide. I hope that persons name does not get out ’cause he/she may never work again. That was terrible. Just terrible. What the hell was Beyonce thinking?
Has anyone ever heard of the Fosse? Bee’s taking it old school some people are to young in the mind and think every video is about clubs and breaking car windows. The foucs is the dance…try doing those moves in 4 inch heels in ONE take and then we can talk!
for the comparisons of ciara and beyonce. just stop. ciara’s focal point is dancing because the voice is simply not hitting it…recorded or live…ciara sticks to what’s good for her…bouncing her ass while doing splits on chairs…things that strippers do…which is ok for her…i’m not knockin’ her claim to fame. ciara tried releasing a ballad once (not “promise”)…and people laughed because the energy was not there…however, “if i were a boy” has energy and emotion and a message…which is great for single choice. and for people saying B is just booty shakin, this is a bob fosse-inspired routine; for those who DANCE, they already know, B has some real technique at different points in the video…she released two totally different singles/videos for different reasons…and for first week sales, who is buying CDs these days?! with the economy the way it is and albums being a click away on sites like this one, music is about longevity and being around in 10 more years, which B has already proven…
Ther are some artists I defentily BUY
B’s one of them of course 😉
At the poster above, did you just read that on ‘lovebscott’ she did not come up with the idea to do Fosse, her choreographer did. It’s still wack, still booty shaking, same ole routine, sounds like “get me bodied” – Next!
I see they still comparing IIWAB with CiCi, I like the Fosse stuff, but they dont get it. Beyonce is in a league of her own where singing and dancing go hand and hand with each other and the only thing people can do is compare her to Ciara. Y’all showing y’all age. Beyonce is it…
YouTube yanked it quick
Wow, some of these folks on here must be young and DUMB! @ poster 10:32, I take it you can not articulate yourself well enough to form a complete sentence.
Loser!
I don’t know what’s been going in the last couple of days with the comparison between Ciara and Beyonce, but this needs to stop. To tell you the truth, both of them are garbage. Both have been pimped by the music industry. Both of them shake their butts. So, it really doesn’t matter who is the best. Everything is based on IMAGE now. Doesn’t matter if you the person can sing as long as they are willing to show some skin. But, anyway let me comment on the video. This is the same crap she has been doing. Nothing new. Still doing those chicken head ho moves. Only difference is, instead of dressing in little dresses, she is dancing in a leotard.
oooooommmmmgggggg Beyonce have done it again…She is no Ciara or Janet, but when she moves, but Beyonce can freestyle dance and make it look so smooth and s*** at the same time….I love the Fosse….plus its like Drumline…..lol….Beyonce is the head cheerleader…the captain of the cheerleading squad….
Beyonce has done it again! She is the queen of this game and like she always say, “You can’t please everybody” and she has definitely pleased me and all of her REAL fans that are with her 100%. She’s not worrying about what ya’ll haters thinking cause she knows she has diehard fans that loves her talent and what she does so once again she will have a Multi Platinum #1 album selling GOLD+ the first week with mulitple #1 singles and grammy’s attached to it. Now tell me if ya’ll beloved ciara can do that!
Ya'll are so fcking stupid! Beyonce IS the QUEEN, rather you want to admit it or not, but her music is always and still is hot. NO other artist has done half the stuff she has in such little time. ONLY Bey can make a simple video & it'll be THAT FLY! Ya'll seriously need to get a life and open your fcking eyes and realize good music when you see it. As far as the comparisons to Ciara, screw that, Ciara is talented and I love her as well but she has NOTHING on Beyonce. Open your ears & eyes and look and hear good music as it comes. Bey is back and she's gonna kill some charts with her new ish. So watch out! I'm gonna be laughing when she knocks your fave artist off the charts LMAO!
@ DOUCHEBAG 10:37. I MUST HAVE REALLY AFFECTED YOU ON THE INSIDE. DID I HURT YOUR FEELINGS??? IT’S OK. U COULD RESUME YOUR LIFE ON THIS BLOG. MY LIFE INVOLVES PEOPLE, NOT POST AND MESSAGES. ENJOY YOURSELF
SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ON HERE SOUND SO F***** STUPIED LIKE REALLY, I NO EVERYONE HAS THERE OWN OPPION BUT SOME OF UR OPPIONS ARE JUST SO RETARDED, YOU EXPECTED MORE, SHES NOT DOING IT LIKE CIARA, ITS BORING, FOR ONE WHAT MORE DID YOU EXPECT, FLASHING LIGHTS AND A BIG PRODUCTION, NO NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO DO THAT FOR EVERY VIDEO, THE SONG IS STRICKLY ABOUT THE DANCING AND THATS WHAT SHE DID AND Y UR SITTING AT YOUR COMPUTER HATING HER VIDEO IS GETTING PLAYED BACK TO BACK SO UR OPPION IS NOT CHANGING ANYONES, NUMBER 2 BEYONE WILL NEVER BE CIARA AND CIARA WILL NEVER BE BEYONCE AND I THINK THEY BOTH NO THAT SO LET IT GO DAMN, IF YOU DONT LIKE THE VIDEO THEN KEEP IT MOVIN.THE VIDEO IS HOT AND IS GOING TO GET MUCH PLAY.

@ poster on October 13, 2008 10:41 AM
I completely agree. This goes to show you how much the visual has to do with an artists success. No one really cared for the song until they saw the video, same goes with Deja Vu/ If I were A Boy. We are a people obsessed with skin, s** sells – Beyonce/Ciara..etc knows this.
I’ve never purchased a Ciara/Beyonce/A.Keys album. Call it hating…
Beyonce’ and Solange both say themselves that people focus too much on Beyonce’s looks and not her vocals. But you get back what you give out.
PREACH!!! @ 10:49 AM. U BETTER TYPE DAT TRUTH!!!
Umm…can any of you actually see the video? all these posts fighting over the content, but since its been removed, i was wondering how you guys are finding the clip’s content to argue over.
Huh???
“11/18/08”
why removed??? still there
THAT'S NOT THE LINK THIS IS
http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1518071&vid=288546
QUEEN B IS BACK!!!
Having not liked the song, i think the video is charming. It is very beyonce,but i think its also fun and not too heavy. i feel it works.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! @ 11:06
Also, I wouldn’t dare say its Fosse, but parts of it are very musical theatre, specifically the walk arounds. I agree with the post on the HBCU influence.
A Dancing Diva….. I LOVE BEY!!! With all the comparisons to ciara(lol)… what has ciara accomplished in her career?? Beyonce’s accomplishments are to lengthy to list…. And thats the got’cha got’cha!!!
you people are crazy. ci stans leave these bey freaks alone and vice versa. ci’s won every award handed out to a musicion in the US, so has beyonce. beyonce has a stronger voice, ci’s a better dancer and more creative imo.
at the end of the day ci will go multi platnum like she has in the past and so will beyonce
to the video, now that yall brought up the marching band girl, i get it. the one camera thing kanye did in his video more creatively imo. having said that it is what it is, bey’s fans will love it
lets move on
NOW LET ME HERE THEM TALK AGAIN!!!! ONLY BEEYYY!!!!LOVE IT!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT THESE ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARTIST…YEA BEYONCE DANCES…BUT ITS HER VOICE THAT CATCHES OUR ATTENTION…WITH CIARA YEA SHE CAN SING (A lIL) BUT ITS HER DANCING THAT CATCHES US!!!!STOP BEIN SO IGNORANT….BEYONCE CANT DO THE STUFF CIARA DOES AND CIARA CANT DO WUT BEYONCE DOES!!!TWO COMPLETELY BUT VERY UNIQUE EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTIFUL ARTIST. IF I WERE A BOY IS A NICE BALLAD THAT SHOW HER VOCAL SKILLS. SINGLE LADIES WAS FOR THE CLUB AND N******…I AM
That metal thing she has on her left hand,…I was just wondering if Ciara wore something similiar to that in either one of her videos or one of her performances. I have seen it on Ciara, however. Not comparing or anything like that. Just asking……..
If her message is to put a ring on it (your finger) from your man….then I will say go bey. No need to be jump offs, or eternal fiances’ forever.
SASHA MADE A VERY GOOD JOB! I REALLY ENJOY IT! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!
Let’s talk at the end of the year and we’ll see who is the real Queen!
woww the video is so amazing!! i expected some typical rnb dancy vid…but wait beyonce doesn’t do the OBVIOUS DOES SHEE?? shes alwayss different!!!
bet shes gna prove how u dont need an expensive video to get chart success COUGH COUGH RIHANNA UMBRELLA COUGH COUGH LOLLLL
and sometimes i only come on this site to see the BAREE FUNNY COMMENTS u all make!! its literally a war…love it.
It's typical for "slower" people to NOT get the POINT. 😀 it's Beyonce. Her music. Her dance. The End. No glitz & glamor. No pomp & circumstance. I guess when the album drops… it (((may))) become apparent to some. 😀
WURKKKKKK B1TCHHHH!!!!!!!
IM VERY DISSAPPOINTED!!!!!
Beyonce has once again stolen another concept. This whole video has already been done before in the 60’s. The 3 girls, the dancing, the one set…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9xer2luUXo
Yeah, this one’s a little trash I’m sorry. The other video was much better. The dancers weren’t even with her most of the time. Seems like some last minute let’s make another video real quick s*** IMO. But whateva, she’ll sell a billion albums anyway. More power to her.
Simple But Genious Video.
Beyonce is not a diva… She is an ICON !
I loved the Fosse influence!! I wonder if she added that or the choreography. BTW, when did Ciara get to be so original? Last time I checked, she COMPLETELY jacked Janet’s act! And never stopped doing it.
If I Were A Boy even though the video had a storyline it was long dragged and boring still not a fan of the song. As for Single Ladies another dance video what’s new another version of G.M.B. but a weaker version, IMO. So far not impressed with B this go round. But one thing’s for sure home girl will sell ship loads no matter who likes it or not.
I LOVE IT!! SHE DANCES F****** GOOD!!!!
That smiling at the end kills me. I love this girl. She’s so adorable. Amazing. Absolutely stunning video. Brilliant. Simple, but still brilliant.
@10:49 nicely put!!!
She changed the game on them and they cant take it…
Stop comparing and just except her for her….
Talented……
I really don’t see what is so special that you find in this video or this song…
The dance? So simple and uninteresting… Whatever it is… I don’t care…
The background? So gray and dull… Is this shot in my basement???
The “Freddy Krueger” hand? Ha-ha… That’s so wierd… Is she OK? I mean… mentally…
But you’re all so impressed!!! Hello??? Are you there??? Haven’t you watched TV till now? Where do you live? Don’t you have TVs there? Why are you so “Wow that’s so interesting and unusual…”? Ha-ha… Whatever…
The other video was much better… It was really very good… But this one…
-Bobby from Bulgaria-
Haters get A LIFE!
This was very good. Whatever B does is a masterpiece.
WAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAH…
NOTHING SPECIAL AND THE SONG IS RUBBISH, IS SHE SHOOTING ALL HER VIDS IN BLACK AND WHITE NOW. BEYONCE BEST VIDEO WAS GET ME BODIED AND ALL THE OTHER VIDS SHE MADE FOR BDAY WHAT DIDN’T GET RELEASED, CHECK IT OUT IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THEM
what's wrong with her? i mean is she tired of being a huge star? i just don't want to see anymore black & white video. low budget and nothin' can compare with her previous video…
really disappointed!!
I love me some bee but the video word to me would of been good if it had a disco theme in the background that black and white was DULL i mean the changing thing wouldn’t made a good look
Beyonce may not have rush making her cd but planning yes, she is feeling the heat
Nothing special on this video. We already know that Beyonce moves her body in an unique way, like her sister Solange who imitates her.
I get bored watching this video. Britney’s comeback and WOMANIZER video are quite more interesting.
SO SIMPLE, BUT YET SO COOL!
that was so lame…..i hate the song now cause the video was horrible…..get it together beyonce
go bee not what i expect but still its pure fire yoooooo the queen is back but a ring on it for real the song is so addictive
love da song and video. FAB!!
gO bEY….I expected more,but da dancing was on point so it worked cant wait 4 da performance!
Stay with what you know, Bey. Same ole, same ole.
TO 8:36 firstly u BETTA BE FROM HAMPTON UNIVERSITY!!! THE REAL HU!!!! and dats the same thing i said
I was like WHAT???? EBONY FIRE MUCH!!!!!!! Das crazy beyonce just kinda like took a bite. but otha den dat it was cool.
heyyy y’all that’s exactly what a true tallented artist is, when she put something out the first day ; she has what???? 120 comments on a musicnews site?? check those of ciara go girl after a week here lol what d’you think about that?? keep talking people the B**** is going to sell lol
To all those missing the influence of the video, here you go.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU3N5c2Kxnw&feature=related
Yes Mrs. Bey worked it out for the gays honey!! YES, b**** better work!!! lol I already know me and my gay friends are gonna have a ball at the club with this song!! cant wait…
first off, its your typical beyonce booty shaking video *yawn* dont really wana see it no more…its TIRED!! lol!
secondly, the video..well! simple, beats seeing all them 'bling'…
thirdly, tune is wicked. feeling the beat, everything. good production & great lyrics. I do agree with the lyrics –
'Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he won it!'
a good song for the car & a sure hit for the clubs!
song is better without the video by BY FAR!!!
PLEASE I BEG…NO DANCE OR HOUSE MIXES TO THIS SONG!!!!!!
Beyonce is one of the BADDEST in the game. . . I wish you guys would stop already with the comparisons to Ciara . . . they are not in the same league. Yes Ciara can dance, but her singing can't hold a candle to Beyonce. Beyonce is an awesome dancer and an amazing singer. They are even in different genres. Ciara is Crunk and R & B, while Beyonce is more R & B and somewhat leanng towards pop. The biggest difference between the two in case anyone has questions . . . Is concert status: Ciara concert tickets sell for about $50 while Beyonce will sell out the largest arenas on her own at about $90 and up per ticket. There is enough fans for both of them and I'm sure they will both be paltinum.
I’m ADDICTED to this music video. In fact, the video help me like the song more. I love both singles now.
I’m a beyonce’ fan but I’m not feeling either of the songs she released but I like the concept of if i were a boy. i’m a woman i don’t want to see beyonce’ dancing around in an outfit like that. love the dance moves, but i’ll wait til’ she performs it with clothes on.
lemme clear sumthings up….the if i were a boy video is a Beyonce video….single ladies is a Sasha Fierce Video (for those who dont know thats beyonce’s alter ego on stage)
She is propably coming out with 2 cds…i am beyonce and i am sasha….and for the Terminator hand (lol) its a clue…cuz if u look up sasha fierce u get a myspace which only future that hand….and damn ppl always comparing ciara is ciara britney is britney…beyonce is beyonce let tha damn girl breath will ya!!! and FYI…ciara may be a great dancer but thats all she is….if she sang as good as she dances then maybe just maybe she would come even a bit close 2 Beyonce…but she cant…
A Beyonce fan from Holland!!
Yeah i went to Hampton University and graduated in 05…..I work now in NY for the New York Knicks Basketball team….But i must say two things….Ebony Fire and HU Cheerleaders will be dancing to SIngle Ladies…lol..I know that for a fact…lol..SHe was killling them in the video….Beyonce has so much grace when she dances..its not like CICi but its more entertainging to watch….And she will have the gay clubs rocking…I work with some and they had to me dying today ….. I co-worker knows the gay guy that was teaching Beyonce the routine…hu…all day….
da queen at her best
With all hating on an artist nowadays only builds them up more. Just cause you are hating on that artist isn’t going to stop those 4 million plus people from buying that artist album. If you feel that you have to slander that persons name all over the web or on blogs you may have something really wrong with you. One day your child may be a BEYONCE OR CIARA OR RIHANNA, and people will hate on them. Then what will you do?
uggggggggggggggggg so many b****** on here damn, put the claws away and stf up already… this video is hot and different from the norm. it’s really good. open you minds, step outside of this cliche crap that we’ve been hearing eveyonce else shift to and appreciate the diversity in the arts u losers… this is an off the hook song and it was definitely welcome.. fresh breath of air in todays music industry
Yeah? Really??? Hahahahah…
I’m a little disappointed with Jake Nava. Usually he make the videos come to life with his views. This one was just so simplistic and cheap. My God. “Shake IT Off” Mariah Carey video is still in IMO visually a beautiful video, his best work. Beyonce did her thang but the video fell short for me. Man I would love to have seen Mya work this video out.
Yall r sooo quick 2 call people haters..
If u HAVENT noticed…most of the HATERS are dissapointed fans of beyonce..its just hat these new songs are some str8 up horse s***…the vid is ok…it was boring @ first but its ok….but the song sucks ass….IF ANYTHING WE ARE BIGGER FANS BY ADMITTING WEN BEE comes out with garbage like this…so quit saying the “h” word…its dum…I expected sooo much more from her with this vid…cant win em all tho
I just had to laugh when somebody said this video is different. What is so different about this video because the only thing I see is her shaking her b***. Only thing she needs is a stripper pole and some clear heels to complete the look with those whorish moves.If you wanna listen to somebody different, listen to Bjork, M.I.A. or Gorillaz.
love both songs
even though this isnt the original song
and that like a boy has an original song
bet beyonce would of been mad if another artist remake her songs
its still nice
all my single ladies is a nice song
but it didnt need a video
still doing her thing though
although all her songs sound alike after awhile
recession is hard
every artist are making green room videos
BEYONCE MURDERED YOU H*** IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,SON, & THE HOLY SPIRIT… BOTH SONGS/VIDEOS ARE HOTT IF U DNT LIKE IT GO SIT HOME TWIDDLE YOUR THUMBS AND WATCH CIARA'S GO GIRL 50 MILLION TIMES AND WAIT 4 HER CD TO DEBUT….ANYWHO QUEEN BEY IS BAAAACK
Ok I saw the Fosse video on you tube Hilarious!!! Where do people find this stuff and how? Whether you like this video or not you can’t deny the similarities. This is going to start a war.

What does Ciara have to do with this? Why is it that anytime Beyonce comes out with a new single or video…..her haters make a dash to watch it and then afterwards feel the need to tell us how Rihanna, or Ciara, or Britney, or Ashanti, or whomever has a video out during that time is supposedly better. WHO CARES, lol! Yes Ciara is a superb dancer, but the girl can’t sing or perform live to save her life. But Beyonce can. So what’s your point? Geez.
People are saying Beyonce copied this video. I don’t know who Fosse is but this is hilarious. You can’t deny the similarities but this is going to start a war.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! WHAT HAPPEN TO HER HIPS?!?
Beyonce has the game on lock!!!!!!
The reason why some people are called “haters” is when people start comparing her to other artists in a negative way while trying to prop those artists in the process….than there is no other way to describe it but hating. Saying that you don’t like the video is all well and good. That’s your opinion. The video will not be liked by everyone. But when you start going off on all this Ciara, Janet, Britney tangents and comparing and saying stuff like….”She will never dance like Ciara.” Then that’s when the haterism comes in. I mean people can just as easily say…”Ciara will never sing like beyonce.”
DID ANYBODY PEEP U R GIRL DANCE MOVES.IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE J-SETTIN FROM U-TUBE. IT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE HER TWO SONGS MIX TOGETHER “GET ME BODIED” AND “CRAZY IN LOVE”. NOW HER JAM “IF I WERE A BOY” THAT THE ****!!!
People can post whatever they feel like saying…that’s why it’s called a blog and if your a fan/stan/hater and you don’t like what they have to say…boohoo…you’ll live another day. Beyonce does not deserve special treatment.
I’ve seen Jamaicans dance better than Beyonce.
OK JUST ONE WORD…LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF POSTS???? HATE ALL YOU WANT BUT THE QUEEN IS BACK! EVEN YOU HATERZ WILL BUY THE ALBUM WHEN IT DROPS
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! HER CREATIVITY AMAZES ME EVERYTIME, SIMPLE, CLASSY AND AMAZING! ALL IN ONE SCENE, ONLY BEE…ALL THEM B****** GO SEAT YO ASSES AT THE END OF THE CLASS AND LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM SASHA!
SHE’S BACKKKKKK!!! OH YEAH PON DE FOREHEAD GET A CLUE
^^^you said more than one word^^^ but who’s counting. Dumb idiot. and Rihanna is not Jamaican you fool. Beyonce=Georg Bush.
this song sucks big time. i already called my radio station and told them not to play this garbage again. and they fully noted that for sure.
Uh to all the people hating!!!!! Beyonce is a great dancer. And if you never danced a day in your life then why are you hating. FIRST OF ALL!!!!! Also, if you think you can do better why are you not dancing in videos, dance teams, or studios. Im a dancer, and love it. Ive dance since I was 3 and respect what she is doing. Its always going to be haters or people who talk but don’t do nothing but complain. If you don’t like what she does. Stop watching TV, stop supporting her albums, just stop. Cause frankly you obviously like it to hating on her. Beyonce is giving mad love to us dancers out there. And this song will be played everywhere!!!!!!!! Get with it. You are just a fraction of the world. She has tons of fans that will be requesting this song, including me. Go B!!!! Trust and believe that one. This world is soooooo sad………..I hate haters on some real serious…………
If this is what you people call dancing, I feel sorry for you,.
WHile you cant pay your bills Beyonce can pay hers using your money

ok, I REAALLLLLLLY used to love B, but what they HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
MY VERDICT….
Song: sounds like her OLD S***. c’mon girl, we need growth here, this sounds like the last crap two week album…
video: dont care that its one shot but surely there were better takes than that one coz i see a few times with they were off beat and outta sync with each other, very close together space wise
Overall: when is she going to GROW up and act lady like and stop whining up her skin like a hoochie one minute and then tryna be all classy the next. be one OR THE OTHER and by the looks of it, she only knows how to be GHETTO, coz the dancing dont even look NATURAL.
VERY DISSAPPOINTED FAN =(
Janet and Ciara are two different artist, the same way Beyonce and Ciara are two different artist. To say Beyonce is more R&B is hilarious. Both of them are pop/rnb artist. Who cares who sells more records or who is more popular, that doesn't take aw. You all always have to put the next artist down to make another one look good. Why can't you just give your favorites their props and leave it at that!
People,
Like who you like, this is a free country,but stop the hating and get a life. Now watch, there’s going to be some smart ass comeback, cause you a hater and what do you do for a living (minimum somthing?)
You all better watch out before Jay-Z comes and kicks your f****** asses for messing with his b****!!!
Biggest piece of crap ever. Does anyone else think beyonce should not sing because she over sings everything…
k sis.
just a test for the useless “website” box (:
