Beat me to it lol forgot it was even coming out.

I enjoyed it! See a heavy Jackson 5, James Brown and New Edition influence to this and she sounds great!

The video's SCREENSHOT alone screams "If It Isn't Love"!

I love the gold outfits. I just watched the Temptations movie last night on youtube. Very similiar.

I thought of the Temptations too

Right. When doesn't a video of her's not remind you of something else I like this song though but it's kind of sad to me that she rushing these videos out like people won't remember who she is LOL.

She did the same thing with B'Day. She had a video for practically the entire album.

I believe Resentment was the only thing on there that didn't get a music video.

She's not the first artist to do it either though, although I think that rings true by her not taking breaks between albums and projects.

I love the B'Day era, she got it right then Sasha was alright to me, but I believe she has peaked.

The way she works reminds me of Tupac.

*yawns*

The video is boring and average... nothing creative about it.

I didnt even get through the whole thing. The dancing/choregraphy is average as usual far from impressive.... same o.. same o... I dont know why she wore a leotard.. I didnt get that??

Yes, it's an obvious homage to New Edition.

Beyonce is constantly paying "homage" to artists though. If this was anyone else, they'd get called out. Beyonce always makes cheap, uninspired video's that rip off other artists. This is why for me I can't take her too seriously. Everyone is inspired by someone, but this girl has no originality whatsoever.

She wore a bodysuit cause that formula worked for Single Ladies and follow-up videos. Guess she tossed the robo-glove aside for this If she was already pregnant for this, that explains keeping it simple, but I like what she did with her arms on cue with the music and the moves.

That's how she did the last two albums lol

A hobo could do the cha cha slide in the middle of the street and some of yall would still find it entertaining. lol

I know we all have opinions but geezz its almost as if everything well to SOME of yall everything or anything this chick does its so entertaining to some LOL, when all she does is copies, rips off countless recycled concepts or just does the same things...

I can think of a TON of videos that have been inspired by the temptations, new edition, jackson 5 concept and were alot better than this boring video..

but I guess different strokes for different folks lol

she's definitely not the first or last to do it, it's been that way for so many years and it's fun pointing it out for them too, cause they are still themselves

didn't she just release a new video last week?! "Countdown"?

It seems like,with this album,she's just throwing everything at the wall to try to see what sticks I don't know if that strategy is working.None of these songs have become hits.

My thoughts, exactly.

Not pop hits anyway. "Best Thing I Never Had" and "Love On Top" are getting quite a few spins on urban radio. I haven't checked on "Countdown's" spins yet.

Beyonce hasn't even been in the top ten with her singles at all this year. Forget reaching #1.

Times are changing I had a bad feeling about this album mainly because I feel she don't fit in with the other pop girls (the songs).

Beyonce is jsut so extra, when I see her work it feels like a parody/joke to me. I just don't get it.

Looks like she learned to say she's paying homage BEFORE the video premieres.

This video inspires me to get my ass into shape

Is she doing that "release-a-video-for-every-song-on-the-album" routine again?

beautiful song. love the dancing at the beginning of the video, and her sneakers.

B, where the quality? Her recent videos are absolutely not interested.

I could watch it till the end only cause I like the song. The videos are so boring these days. No wonder MTV has to air reality shows instead of music.
