typical, of her to wear a bathing suit, boring and cheap music video. She looks cute though.

this song is Irreplaceable 2.0

I don't care for the song, it just seems like beyonce just makes music to cross over, and not because she genuinely likes the sound.

Now my final verdict.

It sucks to be Beyonce's ex right now. I remember her talking about being down from her breakup then.

This song would be lovely if someone else sang it. When she tries to sing with raw emotion, it sounds like she's straining her voice. confused

How come this one gets more attention than Sade's?

I am sorry. I am not feeling it. bored I've heard it only once. Maybe it will grow on me, but I don't expect it to.

She looks amazing her skin is virtually flawless but Im missing the concept of the video. She's wearing a wedding dress but I thought she would leave him at the alter. Then they show a wedding reception.
After she in her gown singing/walking away

I dont get it.

The guy who wronged her at the high school dance is a different man from the one she's marrying.

beyonce has yet to learn she is her own biggest fan and she overdo it to much. i wouldnt mind if she totally disappear 4 like 2 years just go ghost like michael and just experminent musically and really discover beyonce and not pop trends. i wanna see her do a album that truly define her .maybe she should learn the piano and do some songs from the hear just her and the piano

I really think you're missing out. Genuinely. I think this album is the best she's done. Some really incredible tracks on there. This is, I think the most commercial track on there - and 'Run The World'.

I LOVE this song, but the video is 100% awful. confused

I like it.

The song is okay. It's reminiscent of something's she's done before, but maybe that's a good thing... perhaps, she's developng a signature sound?

Anyway...

It's a nice video. She's shot gorgeously and the concept is understandable, if a little muddled. LOL at her '98 prom dress.

Go Beyonce. She seems to know what she's doing with this album, even if no one else does. lol

I hear you, but I'm getting tired of her voice. That's the biggest hurdle for me.

This video + song are basic, expected and ungenuine

Those words surprisingly sum up her career as well lol

Thanks for the clarifying. I thought it was the same guy. Maybe the video should've had more flashbacks than just a high school dance/prom. Another scene I thought was missing was the 'wedding kiss'. He lifts up her veil the next shot the guests clapping. Hmmmmm I wonder if that scene was deleted on purpose neutral

The underwear thing is boring. The scenes are beautiful but the story is boring as hell.

I like the song and the dress but i don't like it that she didn't write the song. confused Didn't she take a whole year off? But she is not able to write her own stuff? lol

Dancing helps relieve the pain. Soothes your mind, makes you happy again!!!

beyonce could be butt naked, and there is still NOTHING sexy about her. She is attractive though.

But that Lingerie was so unnecessar .

She's a try hard and it annoys me. She's gorgeous, but boring. She doesn't really put much personality into her work.
