That's very interesting because as I was watching Bey's video, I kept getting an Ann Margaret-ish vibe from it. It does have a bit of a retro, 60's feel to it with some of the dance moves and the camera work. So just like "Get Me Bodied" was inspired by 60's movie "Sweet Charity" now its cousin "Single Ladies" is inspired by another 60's performance.

I have to agree with this- it sounds like everything on the last album. I actually liked the video, but the song is boring as shit, coz I feel like I have heard it before.

Maybe it is because I didn't listen to B'Day a whole lot but I am quite happy with this new song, and is nothing like that bland "If I Were A Boy" shit.

I watched that whole thing

I don't get the Mexican Breakfast title

omfg! I love it!

Beyonce is gross. She says she wants to be known for more than what she looks like and then she does this garbage. How much ass did she give up to Jigga before she started with this put aring on it nonsense?

BTW, is Jigga still referring to women as bitches and hoes?

THANK YOU!

I love how everyone ignored your 100% true response!

Usher can have a 6 month baby at home while singing about having sex in public with Keri Hilson hanging off him...Beyonce shows off her talent and her killer figure in a song about marriage and she STILL gets called derogatory names.

Disgusting.

I have to agree.

marnifrances said:

And if they're not calling her derogatory names they're going on about how LONG it took for her and Jay to get married.

As if waiting to see if she/he is the one is a BAD thing!

Once again, disgraceful.

this is fantastic. great choreography, amazing dancing, long shots. this kind of dancing takes discipline and technique.

you can go to your clubs and do your stupid humpy dance, cuz this level you will never reach.

dawntreader said:

Truly amazing clip and performance. I now get what you said earlier...

PS, that bionic arm is fun, the panting at the end is just plain horny.

purplesweat said:

True story.

HamsterHuey said:

Yeah, I was wondering if that's what she looked like after Jay finished getting it in with her.

KidaDynamite said:

Everybody's got their something, obviously. I never had that thought myself.

HamsterHuey said:

You have a lot of thoughts.

HamsterHuey said:

see, i do have some taste

KidaDynamite said:

They never included Jay-Z, though.

Beyonce only registers becuz she is such a hard working woman. She can at least reel me in somewhat with a great video like this one, even though the song does nothing to me at all.

HamsterHuey said:

I understand.

purplesweat said:

I haven't seen the Usher video but the same goes for him. And I am sorry but what talent does Beyonce have? Shaking her ass?

purplesweat said:

Says the person disrespecting someone who really can sing in their signature.

Say whatever the hell you want, if Beyonce did not look asshe does, we would have never heard a peep from her. People cream their shorts over this woman when there are way more talented people who go ignored. That is the fucking disgrace.

While I agree that there are far more talented people who go ignored, I do think Beyonce is one of the better singers out there.

i seriously can't stop watching this

Kida, lets put a ring on it

Beyonce’s ‘Stolen’ New Hit Record

Last week I raved and raved about Beyonce’s new single, "If I Were A Boy." Remember? I thought it was the best thing she’d ever done, and was amazed that she’d even found the material.

Well, guess what? The story behind "If I Were A Boy" is absolutely scandalous. It also explains my question of why this single missed the Grammy deadline of September 30th, since it was ready to go at least 3 weeks ago. The answer: it was held up by endless legal wrangling since, in the long hallowed tradition of the music business, the young woman who wrote the melody and lyrics for "If I Were A Boy" had no idea Beyonce had even recorded her song until a stranger called with the news. By then, it was too late.

BC Jean is a hot, up-and-coming 21 year old female singer songwriter from San Diego. Those who’ve met her says she’s smart and "gorgeous." But BC (her initials, legend has it, are for "beautiful child") got a cold dose of reality this summer when it comes to the record business. According to sources, she and her manager/mother have been strong-armed by Beyonce’s people and others who saw gold in "If I Were A Boy" and didn’t care how they got it.

You can hear BC Jean’s version of her own song, written with German pop-factory producer Toby Gad, at www.bcjean.net. It’s certainly as good as Beyonce’s if not better. It’s no wonder that this young woman is now the center of so much attention.

Altogether, I am told, BC Jean wrote and recorded about a dozen songs with producer Gad for an album the producer was planning to make of his own. When the deal fell apart, Gad — whose 300 plus credits are all co-written, never solo — took the songs and started marketing them to big name, established artists. Gad’s past "collaborators" include Fergie, on "Big Girls Don’t Cry."

Besides Beyonce, Gad brought at least one of the songs to Disney for "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus. But Disney wanted the lyrics changed to be age appropriate. BC Jean refused. For now, Miley and Gad have been rebuffed.

When I wrote about Beyonce’s version of "If I Were a Boy" last week, calls came pouring in from people who knew the real history of this story. BC Jean’s mother/manager, Lori Carlson, told me she couldn’t comment on the situation. But plenty of people knew the saga of Beyonce’s legendary manager/father Mathew Knowles’s aggressive pursuit of the publishing rights to the potential hit record. His goal was to get the rights to the song and to put Beyonce’s name on the writing credits.

The Carlsons, I’m told, recently came to terms with Beyonce, after enduring the kind of record biz terrors that would curl the hair of the guys from "Hit Men." Now "If I Were A Boy" is hitting big time. Part of the deal, my sources insist, is that the two singers will duet on BC Jean’s debut album once she gets her own recording deal. Right now, managers, publishers, and A&R people from all over the industry are falling over themselves trying to sign BC Jean. They should be. She seems to be the real deal, a potential artist with a big career looming in front of her. It’s a shame that this is the way she had to find out about the record business.

BC Jean’s story is an old one that dates back to Elvis Presley and continues ‘til today. The larger issue, of course, is that performers who don’t write their own music get no royalty when their records are played on the radio. That’s why a Performance Royalty Act is being pushed in Congress right now, and why songwriters should back it. Artists wouldn’t be looking to muscle in on their business if they were paid appropriately. Beyonce simply falls into a category that also includes Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett as well as Sam Moore and Judy Collins, each of whom testified in front of Congress about this last year.

And by the way: BC Jean’s story is pretty common. I’d love to hear from all the other songwriters out there who’ve been ripped off just in the last year. The back stories of how records get made, how big stars who don’t write their own music wind up with hit material, are always hell raisers.


Ya know I was suspicious of how much of this song she actually wrote too.

Nice

Bey is going to be in trouble with this white girl's song.

They are favore din the society, and in the music business.


Not only must she be over-paid for writing this horrible trans-gender song by B's camp just to keep quiet, she will gain more publicity from it that B.
