Great song, too - except for that stanky bridge. It reminds me a little of a faster "Lemme Get That," also awesome.

which many people may know was remixed into this hilarious thing:
]]>C'mon, TNC. There's plenty of good reasons to like Beyonce. Don't make me count the ways.
]]>Between the two of them I couldn't look away from the screen. Nor could my wife. She was walking by the TV and stopped and said, "Damn! Those are some hot ladies."
]]>great fun. thanks for posting it TNC.
]]>I can NOT get him out of my head. He is the new "Chocolate Rain" for me.
Here he is with more clothes on:

Here's the mashup with Beyonce:

Isn't he fantastic?
(Or is it just me?)
I just can't get enough of that guy...
But this song . . . My wife has been staring at me strangely as I walk (strut) around the house singing it, nonstop.
]]>Since this is usually the blog of racial discussion, I'll point out that a big difference between white and black culture is that a black guy can admit to listening to Beyonce without getting his ass kicked by his peers. To this day I get confused when I see an otherwise straight-looking black dude blasting Beyonce or Rhihanna thorugh his head phones. I mean, without the visual, what the eff is the point?
]]>I love the video, though it makes her look like she married Dr. Doom.
Well, about a half an hour after marriage the super-villian would be known as Dr. Whipped. No power on Earth can stand up to that hotness.
]]>this discussion really can't be complete though without mentioning how god awful her other 'if I was a boy' song is. I thought Ciara had already killed that theme with 'like a boy'.
]]>Every time she sees Beyonce on TV, this here 30 year old white chick thinks, "I want to be BEYONCE!!!" Everything she does looks incredibly fun.
]]>The dark skinned dancer is the one I can't take my eyes off of. What is it with men being able to knock this dance out of the park?
]]>That being said, when I don't think about it too much, I like Single Ladies.
MJ
PS. Check out what Mary J Blige has to say about Beyonce:
]]>(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Warhol proved that there need be no distinction, but one has to be very agile to pull it off. I'm not sure that Beyonce is any Andy Warhol, but she's appealing for that glimmer of self-recognition coming through that it's all just absolutely preposterous.
I approve!
]]>That's the perfect antidote to the kitsch of Beyonce. MJB may lapse into melodrama, which is its own variety of kitsch, but can anyone imagine MJB in that upgrade commercial, as if it's no big deal at all?
]]>MJ, you should check out P!nk. U+Ur Hand is pretty much what you're describing.
]]>I can believe that the video shoot took 12 hours or even longer, but there is no way that this video was a single take. You can clearly see the cuts where it was edited together.
I like the song! The video takes it to another level, in that it inspires me to get to the gym more often.
]]>No lie! I felt the same way. She was dancing harder than B was. And she murked it.
@zereyda:
The edit you saw wasn't from different takes it was from different camera angles. You can tell that it was one continuous take that was shot from more than one angle using different cameras.
]]>But this song is really good, the video is amazing, and she really is a classic beauty. Overall good for her.
]]>But, and for some reason I don't really see this in the comments above, I get really hung up on the lyrics. Sure, I'm all for single-lady empowerment, but that seems so deeply undermined by the whole "shoulda put a ring on it" bit. No?
I dunno. For me it just smacks of ol fashioned territorializing -- if you like it, then you shoulda marked it as yours. Makes me think of dogs peeing.
