The best vid I've seen in awhile, and the song is great too.

I liked If I Were A Boy video more than Single Ladies, although SL is a better video than it is a song.

Boys, if you're going to fight, do it in the nude please. You know the rules.

Eeew, I hate the IIWAB video. It's such a load of old shite. And that bit where it stops and they talk is cringeworthy. A total borefest.

And her flogging her fat thighs and droopy arse in a leotard around a black and white room with two other over sized heffers is a work of unparalleled genius, is it?

Well, yeah! It's just so visually striking. The choreography is sublime and the execution of said choreography is flawless. It's a stunning video. It's one of the best pop videos of the past decade, without a doubt.

Oh purlease, of course it's not. There's nothing even remotely original about it.

It's a poor man's version of Timberlake's My Love.

It's not even in remotely the same league.

I know. It's in the premier league. Single Ladies is languishing in mid-table in division two. Glad you agree.

:lmao: Justin's video was decent, but ultimately generic. Beyonce's literally blew everyone away.

I actually find it a little weird that you can't see how magnificent it is.

Who exactly did it blow away?

I watched it for the first time at the weekend because you rambled on it before. I was expecting something spectacular. It wasn't.

It was nicely shot, she sure can dance well, but there's very little to elevate it into an all time classic video.

It reminded me a little of this....

It is *absolutely* a classic video.

But you go ahead and stick with the generic, dull, slush of "If I Were A Boy".

At least that had a plot, some thought went into it, some nice cinematography from Jake Nava matched by a beautiful song.

The song is generic, MOR, drivetime radio slush for the aged. The cinematography is pleasant, but utterly uninspired. It looks like a million other videos out there. The "plot", such as it is, is embarassing. The kind of thing that an 11 year old girl might find clever, not a grown man.

"Single Ladies" on the other hand, tries to be nothing other than a hugely striking, rip-roaring dance extravganza. It looks like NO other video around.

Methinks you like your videos, like you like your music. Unremarkable, safe and bland.

How you can't see the Single Ladies video is nothing short of uninspired stuns me, it really does.

She dances like a Tina Turner clone in a Bob Fosse off-Broadway production.

Every female r'n'b artist worth their weight in gold chains has done something along these lines, if not better than Beyonce.

I'm not saying it's a bad video, it's just completely without originality.

I require nothing from you, only your premature death.

Or at the very least a vicious facial scalding involving a hot kettle, a long power cord and a broken bulb.
