Thanks to loyal reader Ali and MTVU.com for the vid. Ali challenged me to post the video without saying anything negative about Beyonce or the video……
It was very difficult, but I managed to get it done.

LOGGING OFF THE DAY!
SEE EVERYONE TONIGHT @ M BAR!!!!
SEE YOU SANDRA!!!!
THIS VIDEO AND SONG IS TERRIBLE!! they are already playin it to death in nyc and i am so mad
I saw the orginal uncut version before the special effects were added. Beyonce messed up a few dance steps thats why the effects were added to those particular spots in the video. I like the energy of the video and the dance moves are classic Bey. She can ‘does’ it like no other artist in the dance-singing-performance catagory.
I do think the lyrics to the song could have been better. She has a ring why is she telling other women. If he like it he would have put a ring on it. Then proceeds to display her ring at the end of the video. To me thats saying I am better than all of you because he put a ring on it. Just analyzing the video (marriage is over rated anyway)
I HEARD THIS LAST WEEK AND THIS SONG JUST DOESNT DO ANYTHING TO ME OR FOR ME.
Wow, I like it. Is it b/c I have a ring? I don’t know, maybe.
Beyonce,
You’re gonna have to try a little harder!!!!!!!
this song is sooo get me bodied, even the same dance moves, and this is what everybody calls GREAT DANCING. SHE CAN NOT DANCE. ciara is a great dancer and britney spears, i don’t hate the song but i agree with peachizz she is going to have to come harder than that. to be the hottest.
I LOVE BEYONCE but I HATE this song!!!
It’s so f*cken stupid. As always, she looks gorgeous! I wish she would come out banging, like Crazy in Love or do a Get Me Bodied.
I’m sorry B, I agree with the person who said that you have to try harder!
Sandra,
I will say it for you! H.A.M. (Hot a** mess)
She looks very pretty and kills the dance moves, but I’m not feeling the whole video just being dancing. It has nothing to do with the lyrics. Although it’s different for someone to do this type of video I just pictured it being different with it actually capturing the lyrics and story line.
@Candi Apple…I didn’t even think of it that way. Hmmm I see what you are saying, like she’s teasing those who don’t have a ring…but then again I know she is going to defend it and take the approach by saying she was trying to show women that you don’t have to settle…whatevs.
On the flip side. I’m glad the whole video is dancing because now i can try to learn the whole routine. Lol.
It doesn’t matter how horrible this song is the radio will keep forcing it down our throats until we’re convinced that it’s a great song and we like it, and her die hard fans will always support anything she puts out no matter how bad it sounds.
Neither the song nor the video is my cup of tea.
On the up side, congratulations to Sandra for not ripping Miss B to shreds this time.
Bey lovers will play it, and matt is gonna finish fatten the pockets of dj, so it will be all over radio. but I don’t care cuz i got my jazmine sullivan
i’d rather chew glass than sit thru that again. thanks
@terika83—– I too have a confession… I will be infront of my T.V. trying to learn those dance moves. The dancing is a mixture of era’s. She is J-Setting too.. It takes alot energy and skill to dance like that for an entire video and keep the attention of the audiance. I know she will kill it live as ususal.
damn lb!
lol
I didnt like the song but I finally listened to the words and she is right! What I get from the song is if your man is trying to controll/monitor you he needs to check himself if he hadnt “put a ring on it” with that being said I think the song is okay now
DOn’t really like the song or the video.. she’s my girl.. but I got bored. Just woke up actually.. think I nodded out at the 1:05 mark…
I will admit that I would much rather hear the little girls running around singing “if you like it you shoulda put a ring on it” than “bus it baby” or “give you the business” any day!
btw.. whatever you did miss sandra.. it wasn’t a white box!!!
cosigning w/ caramel!!
I Co-sign with caramel too… very valid point..
@caramel drop: LMAO! I hate them damn songs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I love Bey, sorry ya’ll she jusy got it, can’t hate on her!
You know what’s funny?…I was a die hard Bey fan when she first came out. Granted I was 17 and still in high school…Fast forward I am now 28yrs. old and I feel like she is still 17 mentally. She didn’t grow with me. I outgrew her in a major way. I’m married, college educated with a couple of kids and I look at her like “what are you thinking?’.Get up off the floor and keep ur legs close. I’ve grown tired of seeing her half naked. The songs she sing are made for 16yr. olds. She’s fighting for that young crowd that has gravitated toward Rihanna when she should just except that it’s not her time. Put some clothes and sing more substanitive songs… Put a ring on it? Is that the best you could think of?
Nolachic ur absolutely right! Beyonce really needs to grow up and put some clothes on. That routine in “Single Ladies” reminds me of a high school dance team.
I don’t know I still like dropping it low. I had a birthday yesterday (I refuse to mention my age).
Dip it low take it the floor pop pop pop that thang..
In fact I think I do it better now than when I was in my 20’s…. Age like fine wine… forgive me I think I am still hung ova… did not work all day…
I’m not feeling this song and the video is not much better. Come on Bey try again!!!
Say what you want but this song in the club was FIYAH this weekend!!!
I’m feeling the vid too. Not to extra and it doesn’t rely on a bunch of unnecessary bull to pull it off.
This doesnt cut it. I want mature Beyonce to surface not some stripper who is popping the crotch and gyrating every second, I mean dang she is married now. Her new material is not working for me so far.
Also, didnt Jay put a ring on it 7 yrs later?
sorry, Jay didnt put a ring on it until 7yrs later.
i want beyonce to take some time off…we are all tired of her. this song is the same ole’ same ole’. even though the lyrics aren’t raunchy the dance moves are. always winding and grinding.
Hmmm.. I like the shoes they were wearing!!! That’s all I have to say about that!!
I like this song!!!
The chorus is great. If he like then he needs to put a ring on it!!!
I absolutely agree!!!
I kinda expected more but since “Like A Boy” video was GREAT, I am going to let her make it.
Will definately support the album…comes out 3 days before the Birthday!!!
Typical of her other videos. Guess its been confirmed that she wears but pads. Cuz her ass disappeared in this video
BTW, I guess the smirk at the end was for the haters cuz she had to flash her ring twice.
This is like circa Jumpin Jumpin plus the 9000 videos she put on DVD on Bday.Can’t hate though, Beyonce’ does her thing, but grow up.
Love the dance moves and as usual she looks awesome!
The song still BLAH …. the lyrics could be better, for the uptempo-club-dance music type Bey lovers’ this is the Crazy in Love, Get me Bodies joint for the new album.
I love If I Were A Boy … still looking forwardto the album.
Good job Sandra on the post … gold star for today!
@ candi …
Happy Belated B-day!
LUV IT! LUV IT! LUV IT!!!! The song is hot and so is the video.
@ The Black Katie Couric, I haven’t heard it in the club yet, but me and the girls are talking about how we can’t wait to hear it in the club! I can only imagine how live the club is gonna get when it comes on!!
SHE DID IT AGAIN!!!
GET IT BEY!!!
this had the be the cheapest video ever! The song is absolutely horrid mindless trash.
@ Nolachic…you’re only 28 and ur retired it in hey?
No disrespect, but I don’t see nothing wrong with havin a good time and gettin down on the floor regardless of how old you are. Beyonce makes fun, hype music period. She’s not gonna stop makin these songs just cuz she’s gettin older! And besides, I really think this video is for the
gays! lol
Its cool tho! The dancing was very theatrical, and my Darkskin sista RIPPED it! lol
I like the song the more I listen to it, and Beyonce looks outstanding! I think I like it b/c I have a ring on; in my mind I’m singing to those who DIDN’T put a ring on it. Makes me smile.
dont know if i care for the song but beyonce gyrating gets a thumbs up from me
I like it but it seem the pattern is those with rings love it and we laughing at the hoes who give it up for free HELLO BLU CANTRELL(sp)and others as well as those fluke niccas that passed da girl up…anyway yall know yall love this ish and will be trying to get your ring in the club when it comes on by shaking that azz…
@daninicole
Girl we were bumping the fellas out the way and destroyed the dance floor LOL!!!
Oh a side note……Beyonce done fooled me. D listed. com has the video of some original broads from the 70’s who made the original video. Beyonce’ straight up JACKED the entire vid!!!!
SMH at Mrs. Carter for leading me to believe she did something halfway original!!!!
@ 40
You right it is a cheap video, becaue it’s only a teaser. You better beleieve when her album drops she’s going to have like 4 or 5 videos out back to back. I’m also sure these songs are justa teaser as well.
I BY NO MEANS am a Beyonce fan. But I thought she looked really sexy (no homo) in this video. It was sleasy and such. I was lmao at first seeing her run her flat booty around like that, but then she got into it and I was like okay.
Anyway, like someone else said. She needs to grow up. By know I know she knows that a lot of her fan base is small girls. My BFF daughter is quick to tell somebody they don’t look like Beyonce.
TEAM SOLANGE!!!
good morning all ( friggin Giants LOST !!)
Song and video sucks! She is working it on the dancing though. If this is what the album is like….
Morning Kym - whole SR family…..
Girl, yes they did and Im sad because I pick them as one of my picks for the week.
Good Morn shay !! They are my team but I didn’t pick them .. I KNEW they were gonna lose .. but I’m STILL pissed .. they played horribly !!
Yes - they did…too many mess ups.
That number 17 Braylon Edwards…he was good eye candy to make the game go smooth.
Hey Auntie what about him for some morning wood?????
I like Bey.. but I do not like this song nor the video, it’s very get me bodied…
zZzZz * * * WAKE UP AUNTIE * * * zZzZz
* * *shakes monitor * * *
Girl - I was thinking the same thing…..
Good morning! SR family! kym I was thinking about you when the giants lost, you know they are NOT going to the superbowl again right? Ha!Ha!Ha! Dont feel bad Im still hurt over our lost
MizzDallas … just know that we will BOTH be home (the Giants and Cowboys) during the superbowl ! ….
i will pass on this video as well. i’m trying to give old Bey a chance , but she’s making it worst. it always takes me months to start liking songs from her, but i don’t think i will be rocking either of these two any time in the future. so… NEXT
MORNING EVERYONE!!!!
ME & DIVAMAMA HAD A BLAST LAST NIGHT!!!!!!
CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS ON ALLTHEPARTIES.COM LATER TODAY.
KYM - U SUCK!!!! LOL
Same ole bey, ripping off other people’s ideas & making them her own. I thought the video would help me like the song…nope! Dam Bey I thought you were gonna bring it..hope the rest of the songs/videos are better than this..
@ Barbie .. My son’s football team SUCKS … since there was NO school yesterday .. Practice ran LONG .. sorry …
HI HATERS! (LOL) The Queen is Back ****es…Deal With It! The song is cool the choreography in the video is AWESOME
Good Morning everyone,
**Sex Sales***
@Sandi
I can see it now the women are going to go crazy in the club when they play this song. The bad part is that they will be waving their finger at all of us fellas.
Now Solange and Michelle’s record sales are gonna really tank down the drain since Beyonce is back out. So much for Solange and the Nightmare on Elm Street Dreams, whatever that album is called. j/p! i do like some of the songs off of Solange’s album, its just to bad she was gettin a little shine and then here comes big sis to dominate the spotlite! sorry solo
Beyonce knows she can dance her behind OFF! Go head B!
That video was erratic as hell, she was all over the place… that ish gave me a headache… I’m beginning to realize her a$$ can’t dance….
KYM - IT’S OK…..
WE MISSED U THOUGH. IT WAS REAL NICE!
@ChokLitFactory
In no way did I mean that I have retired!=) However, I’m just not the same person I was when i was 17. I still go out and have my fun, but I won’t disrespect myself either. There are somethings that the 17yr. old Michelle would wear and do that the 28yr. wouldn’t dream of (LOL)!And trust my body is still right for it!
I just thought by this time she would be making classics to be sung well into my fifties(like my mom does). She is still young to us but in entertainment years 27 is equivalent to being dinosaur…
*Beyonce makes fun, hype music period. She’s not gonna stop makin these songs just cuz she’s gettin older!*….So what’s going to happen when she is 32?…34?…
One thing I do with you on is this song is strictly for the QUEENS!
sorry for any typos
eeeh i won’t be rocking the song i don’t think, it’s eeeeeh kinda boring. YET i really like and agree with the lyrics. good message. boys stop dissin’ your girl and get mad when she moves on. “Put a Ring on it!” LOL!
she looks great and i don’t care what anyone says, my girl can MOVE! she is such a great performer!
I like Beyonce but I can’t take her STANS, I mean FANS. This girl at work asked me if I liked her 2 new singles that are out now and I told her I only heard “If I Was A Boy” and I don’t like it, it does nothing for me. Oh my goodness, why did I tell her that? The way she acted and carried on some kinda tangent was as if I had told her that I planned on kidnapping Bee and killing her so we never have to hear her voice again. I mean I just don’t like the song, relax, its not that serious. It’s not like me not liking the song is gonna kill her career anyway, LOL.
CHILL OUT BEE STANS!!!!!
I love Bey all day, but that was painful to watch.
The song is okay the video sucks. Usually seeing Bey’s video will change my mind about her song. The girl is fierce live. This time she did not take me there.
BEY BETTER WATCH OUT! Britney is making a comeback this November… Beyonce Who?
Ummmm…okay. Not sure what to say really…i get the point, but I don’t get the PURPOSE?
@ iyonah
Thank you for the birthday shout out
