I didn’t like the video or the choreo The video didn’t live up to the hype for me and the song is still trash. Hope the next single is better.

The Sean Bankhead youtube video was much HAWTER those girls SLAYED the choreo

I really haven’t dug Queen Bee since the Dangerously in Love days which the exception of World Wide Woman. This song sucks, but the vid is so-so.

I think the gays boys really would have jumped on this song if the beat wasn’t a few years old. The song is decent, it’s just the beat is played out.

Sandra are you feeling ok today?
Zoe B.

SN: Why is she always dancing in front of burning or damaged cars in her videos?
Anna

Girls Run This Mother? Earth or a M effer? She is 29 and married. Where are the true love songs from her? She says “Strong enough to bare your children, then get back to business”. She knows once a woman gets pregnant it takes her a minute to get back in the game. She is too old for this mess, or maybe I am too old to be listening to it. No shade, just when you get married your songs change.
SweetP1984

Ummmm this could have been better. This video could have used a lot more dancing and some better choreography. I’ve seen videos on youtube that were better with this exact song. This is her worst by far. Just my opinion.

When Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, etc were 29 did people say they were too old for that?? Janet was well in her late 30s/40s dancing damn near naked. She is still Queen though. Everybody doesn’t get married then have kids, knit quilts and blankets, bake/cook as if Jesus is coming to supper, work, go home, just to do it all over again. Me and Beyonce are close in age and I’m still outgoing, in shape, and like to have a nice time. I make a living. But I don’t have kids just like her. Women with children always saying with a childless women should do, not directing to you Anne, unless you want it to. I’m saying in general. I go to lounges and see people well in their 40s dancing and letting loose for a while.
Anna

So I can’t type. I’m going to have to nail my chair down, I am too old to be picking myself back on my chair from falling out of it.
Starr

I’m sorry…this song is just hideous. I can’t even believe this is her first single. I’m not a fan of hers by any means, but I’ll call something good when its good :thisaintit Her fans will eat it up though

As for the video…the choreo is nice i guess, but i felt like i’ve seen this video before….by someobdy….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rgLxBIQbsQ lipstickbandit

So I just seen Sean Bankhead’s video that he made to Girls Run The World….his was BETTER than Beyonce’s!! Bey should have stole his choreography!

I am not sayng that you can’t have a life because you have kids. It’s the publics perception. If JLo were not on AI right now would she be able to be hot again? Madonna moved to another Couuntry, adopted two kids from Africa, and still tours at 50. I don’t want to see a 50 yr. old anexeric looking middle aged woman on stage. I also don’t want a woman to wait so long to have a baby, because her career came first. Women can do it all these days. I know not every woman wants a husband, or a child(ren).

ummmmm

so we not gonna talk about how she looked 40 in the first close up shot @ the 0:36 mark?

or the fact that she looked like her knees hurt in the cheorography in the beginning?

and why oh why won’t someone rub a lil jojoba oil on that lacefront!

the video was just :lame: as hell…

back to the drawing board missy…

oh and the ending was just stupid
http://mylifeinthesun782.blogspot.com Ms. Everything

She bores me now, I just can`t get excited for this chit @blondon I don`t think she should start a family and get old fashioned matronely but at this stage in her career and at her age she should have more depth to her music even if they are club songs. A few cuss words doesn`t change the fact that this could easily be sung by a 15 year old and no one would bat an eye. She needs to realize her DC days are over
Iblondon

All of them you named are older than Beyonce now. Think back to what they were doing when they were 29. And yall know when black “singers” have kids their stock goes down. The baby bless their lives, but hurt their careers. Keyshia Cole is the latest victim to that.
Mr.BluPhi

THAT IS THE SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE……… Its not possible to be that phucking fine….

So if she was talking about sex it would be in depth? Kelly’s song motivation is solely about sex and she’s 30. People are eating that song up (I like it too). That song isn’t any more mature than RTW. I forgot what Monica’s last single was, but I bet it wasn’t anything “mature”. Sh*t, I bet yall grown azzes call yall ladies friends girl. “Girl, lemme tell you what my man did” ole gossiping ass lol.
Anna

Hey His_Mommy. I am far from a fan, or stan of Mrs. Carter. I guess I just expected more. Wow gotta go, I have a child missing. Her phone is here, and her friends are calling me.

Wow, what a scare. I called one number and found my child. She is 21, but once you become a mother, you are a mother “forever”.

@Bluephi to some it’s not a good video just because it’s a Beyonce video lol. But Janet’s All for you is a great video. Janet ft/Busta is also a great video.
Peachpussycat

Is this the song that Sean Garrett wrote for her?

The video is okay. I like the song.
http://mylifeinthesun782.blogspot.com Ms. Everything

@lblondon not at all. Singing about sex doesn`t add depth or make you mature either although I`m glad Kelly got a hit but Bey has a great voice and can do more than this in my opinion. She can sing about love, relationships, life, hell alot of stuff vs releasing girl power anthems which she`s done already. But I`m biased because most of what gets released now is crap to me. I just hate for one of the few artists out today with talent waste it on garbage like this
liyah623

Hi guys I am lurker hehe
Anyhoo the shoulder dance in the begging is Ethiopian dance Eskesta
And the ‘foot dance’ is Mpanstula from South Africa.
http://twitter.com/k_cicero Kezi

It’s not a good video because it’s not original I mean it’s like they aren’t even trying. How many times will be see Bey rolling around in sand and one and two and three and fouring in video’s.

Some said earlier that the choreo vid I saw from youtube was hotter and it was. Bey has such a love for copying others she should have copied that or better yet paid the brother who did it and used his dancers.

Actually listening to some of the lyrics in the song, which I had not done until viewing the video, I could so see a modern day 2011 Cleopatra story line for a video with choreo to boot.

I long for the days when music video’s actually told stories
http://twitter.com/_imOther_ Mamacita

I think it’s a nice video. I love the beat

@Iblondon I was talking about the same thing with a co-worker the other day. It’s funny how people say the last thing we need is another “Girl Empowerment” song yet Kelly’s “Motivation” is burning up the charts. Like another song about sex is what we need. There’s nothing new and ground breaking about Kelly’s song but it is a good song.

I LOVE this bish! Whether u like the song or not, thos woman has drive and determination like no other! I am a fan and i will admit i donr care for the song (chorus is repitive and annoying) but i always love her videos and this is no exception. Shes beautiful and on top of the game why must she take time out to have children becuz others want her to. Smh
Secret

@ Mamacita

Why in the world would we need a girl empowerment song? It should be about women. The song is bad. The video was ok but the lyrics is horrible. Also if you are talking about empowerment why do you have to be darn near naked to do it? Do these musicians really need to sale music that bad?
Daisy

Bey isn’t the only artist w/drive and determination or who works hard. She can sing about what she wants to sing about just like everybody else. I don’t care if she sings about sex/love/girl power I just want to hear some growth and I have yet to hear that still nursery rhymish to me. I don’t think she should have kids until she is ready to have kids #justmy.02

I haven’t seen a good video in awhile but this isn’t it to me either. A video can’t make me like a song anyway.

SN Isn’t this Kellys 1st solo song about sex?? Somebody correct me if I am wrong? She usually sticks with dance/euro pop beats/songs I thought. Either way that song is FIYAH to me.
iscream

Bey rocked this video for HER song. People on ABDC redo choreography for other people songs all the time. That youtube video was cool but it was a dance video not a music video.

WHO RUN THE WORLD…. GIRLS (The main sex hating on Bey’s Video)

I wasn’t a fan of this song when I heard it on the internet but hearing on the radio was better and now that she has dropped the video :woot: Watch the single that everyone called a flop climb the charts. Once that Oprah show airs….. It’s over!

More none sense for our ears.
Starr

I just think there isn’t any growth in her music. Maybe shes just in tune with her fans, and she knows they’ll eat up anything. Beyonce has been doing this for a long time….what else has she done but entertain…so maybe their isn’t time for life experiences that can propel to use her experience to show growth in her music. I just think the song is hideous. Even if Willow Smith or some 18 year old was singing I’d feel the same way

the single is hawt, it’s just different from what’s out now but that’s why Bey is the Queen at what she does. I remember people were complaining about Ring the Alarm when it came out because it was different (even though it is very similar to Janet’s “What about” song on Velvet rope).

It was smart to air it on American Idol and not show the whole video till after the show on her website. I bet AI had some of the highest ratings they had all season. Get it Bey.

Maybe someone can tell me what artist has some in depth lyrics.

Besides Lauryn Hill, most artists sing cliche “love, hate, sex” songs.

Im not about to criticize Beyonce for her lyrics and not criticize almost every other artist. Yeah “we ran this world” lyrics are not moving, but her vocals are great. And thats what I like. I wont jam this on my ipod, but I will say she looks damn good and she sounds good.

OHHHH so the same people that don’t ever like Beyonce has the same comments…..oh okay.

Bey is Bey she is consistent. The video is okay, I’ll admit all the teasers and hoopla was unnecessary. But it was solid and I enjoyed it.

People have a problem bc she said “girl” vs “woman”……really that’s a matter of semantic at the end of the day you still a girl….that has grown to a woman.

Face facts…….u don’t lilke it because most of you pray for her downdfall……get over it

I LIKE IT, IS IT GROUNDBREAKING OR EARTH SHATTERING NO! BUT I THINK IT WILL BE A BANGER IN THE CLUBS (NOTICE THIS IS WHAT I THINK, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FACTS) BEFORE SOMEONE DOES A BATTLE CRY AND DIVE IN

BUT WHAT’S JUVENILE IS THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE DEBATING OVER WHAT THE CONTENT SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE, ETC.

THIS WAS HER CHOICE AS AN ARTIST, APPRECIATE IT OR NOT, IT’S HER FIRST SINGLE AND I’M CERTAIN SHE’S AWARE THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE CRITICS AND THOSE HOPING FOR HER DEMISE

AND BY THE WAY, JIM JONES, DIDDY, JAY Z AND OTHER MALE ARTIST DO YOU UPHOLD THEM TO THE SAME STANDARDS IN REGARDS TO CONTENT OF THEIR SONGS?!?!

NO-I’M CERTAIN YOU DON’T BUT WHAT I’VE LEARNED IS THAT WOMEN CAN BE THE MOST CRITICAL, HARSHEST, CYNICAL, MYSOGINISTIC, HYPOCRITICAL, SELF-HATING CREATURES IN THE WORLD

IT’S THE SAME ANTICS YOU SEE IN THE CLUB, AT WORK, LOOK AT HER ONE EYEBROW THE ARCH IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER, DID YOU SEE HER LIPSTICK COLOR, OWE HER NAIL POLISHED WAS CHIPPED, HER WEAVE WAS BUSTED

IT GOES ON AND ON, AND ON-THAT’S WHY IT’S ONLY IMPORTANT TO VALUE THE OPINION OF THOSE WHO ACTUALLY MATTER TO YOU AND THAT YOU CARE ABOUT THEIR OPINION IN THE FIRST PLACE-ANY WHOOO

THIS IS BEY’S FIRST SINGLE-IT IS WHAT IT IS..RATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT

LET THIS B%TCH BREATHE AND EAT, FOR HER TO BE SUCH A #NONMOTHERF$CKINFACTOR# PEOPLE CAN’T SEEM TO STOP TALKING ABOUT HER

When Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, etc were 29 did people say they were too old for that?? Janet was well in her late 30s/40s dancing damn near naked. She is still Queen though. Everybody doesn’t get married then have kids, knit quilts and blankets, bake/cook as if Jesus is coming to supper, work, go home, just to do it all over again. Me and Beyonce are close in age and I’m still outgoing, in shape, and like to have a nice time. I make a living. But I don’t have kids just like her. Women with children always saying with a childless women should do, not directing to you Anne, unless you want it to. I’m saying in general. I go to lounges and see people well in their 40s dancing and letting loose for a
while.

@therapist
No I don’t think that’s the case. Why would I want her to fail? I think she’s very talented but that doesn’t mean I everything she does shows that.

I’m not a stan- blind, salivating, and willing accept straight bullsh!t. I don’t care who you are or how much fame/money you have. If the song is lame, it’s lame.

I like the video and song. Im happy she is back. She be sneak hoodish! I didn’t even listen to her last album with halo and all that craziness. Hopefully she will be on her R&B not the pop mess this time.

I liked the video! Beyonce does what sells. Its her body so whenever (or if ever) she wants to have babies she will. Obvious her fans like the song and the video. There are going to artist who we love and we don’t. It’s a matter of our choice or preference. Not everyone is going to like the music she releases and it is definitely ok. The girl has talent and NO ONE can take that from her. #TeamBey

enjoyed the dancing, not the song.

Don’t know if there is any relevance to this but I saw the link over at Huffington Post and it’s worth a look!

The Beat for the song is complete rip-off and is originally done by reggae dancehall artists since late 2009 to early 2010…Check out a compilation of the original songs on the beat http://youtu.be/GoOJSZBpBsc….The dances are a rip off too…all Jamaican Choreography!
MzDimplez1123

I don’t like the song or the video. Iono where that pray from her downfall comment came from cause the chick has never done anything to me for me to feel that way. Janet could’ve done it and I still wouldn’t like that BS.

WHAT INTENSE SAID .. I CANT!

While this video was great to watch, all I could think of was Tina Turner’s video”We Need a Hero,Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” video and, that #1 Flexible artist out today Ciara….If the clogg the radio waves I’m sure the song will do well!
OutsidetheBox

Ppl talk shit but yeah, Bey dont give a fudge.

And thats what makes her so right, IMO. Did y’all see that “study” (another one) that Black women are the ugliest (least attractive) women on Earth? One point made was that Black women consistently rate themselves higher than other groups did in terms of attractiveness.

People envy that. People dont like when you give they ass the cold shoulder and keep doing you. IJS. Bey got that shit in spades.
rnbjunkie73

Hate the song…Video was a lot of mess at it’s best..I think that if it had been a performance video with just the crazy dancing..it woulda been hot..
YOU GOTTA GIVE IT TO HER…SHE TRIES REAL HARD AND WHEN IT PAYS OFF, IT PAYS OFF…WHEN IT DOESN’T IT DOESN’T..THAT’S LIFE..IT’S OK…2ND SINGLE PLEASE.
pointhimout

now this is how one solidfies their fall from grace. I love her to death, but Janet did it with that Superbowl fiasco, and now beyonce has sealed the deal with these simple ass nursery rhyme songs. She just throws in some snatch catchin, ppussy poppin, tit shaking moves and call it a song.

finally, she’ll be taking that much need hiatus I strongly recommended two years ago. You believed too much of ur own hype and played into being a character (sasha fierce) rather than an artist, beyonce.

They need to put this on Wii! I will dance this dance all day!

I know you don’t want to hear this but….How about that bull huh??? Straight up sign of the Illuminati and has nothing to do with the video but a quick flash! When people make that devil sign with their hands, they are making bull horns.

You can fact check that.
jazi65

anyone check youtube for the original? If that’s where she stole..errr borrowed the choreography for single ladies you can bet there’s one for this mess too.

She has money to pay for things and then people do the okey doke and run to anybody that will listen to get their name in the blogs. Why wait 5 years to sue ot you just waiting until the song make money 1st? lol anyway i love the song and i will watch the video when i get off work. DVR AI.
