  1. Clearminded

    She sang that shyt. I didn’t get the feel I really wanted from the video but it was still hot.

  2. I like the video, but that lil dance she did with her shoulder towards the end messed up the flow

  3. Yea the shoulder movement was a little off, but Beyonce sounds great as usual. I still can’t wait to see the movie.

  4. Gin Gin

    yea, all the lil dancing kinna messed it up lol – but that was still nice. The song is great.

  5. Looking at that lil shoulder dance again…man, that was a straight bamma move Bee LOL.

  6. Ms.Yeah

    Black hair looks so nice on this girl … whats the problem why the blond man

  7. breathstank knowles

    i liked the dance. the overdramatic stuff just is old. the song is good but will never compare to whitney’s ‘greatest love of all’ which was clearly what she was trying to copy here. adn the song is nice she sings it well but her expressions are as though she belting like whitney and she is far from

  8. Ms.Yeah

    lol I thought the same thing about that lil Brooklyn bounce thing she did, but I guess she was feeling it or something

  9. Sarah B ;-)

    I love to hear that song…

  10. Lea Lea

    Tianna you know beyonce always has to add in some dramatic cunt flavor to everything she does……Nice song, Beyonce sang it very well and the video is very simple nothing exciting.

    How bout you go SIT your ass down! This song doesn’t even have the same SUBJECT matter as that song, so what are you talking about?

    Blatant haters like yourself are disgusting.

  12. MoMo

    luv the song and vid was okay.

  13. pooface

    i think the songs a bit boring (dont scream at me) compared to stand up by jhud, which in my opinion is much better.
    b looks ok in this video, like the fact that she didnt over do it.
    its so blatent that shes trying to get oscar recognition, i really hope she doesnt cus i think jhud deserves it soo much more.

  14. Nay

    i thought the lil dance was cute. yeah it was random but nonetheless cute.

    beautiful song. Video is okay. I liked it better on Oprah.

  15. Lisa

    For once, she didn’t overdo the video – too much, that is! *Applause*
    Very nice song, and she looked beautiful.

  16. Miss Tee

    Yeah I agree with ya’ll about that lil shoulder dance. What the hell? I don’t know why they be letting Beyonce walk through her videos like that. They know and she know she can’t walk straight.

  17. Emonica

    I like the Oprah performance much better, but she still sung it well. The video should have been more dramatic and had actors in it, or more scenes from the movie.

  18. Monica

    I love Bee but why the casual look, she need something like what she wore on Oprah for a song like this. Great song but so so video.

  19. M. DOT

    Nice song and video…I gotta wonder though…Is there any such thing as overexposure for this girl? Hey she doin her thing I guess. Peace.

  20. Emonica

    Yeah on Oprah I like the part when she goes,
    “Im more than what-cha…ya made of me”
    she tore that Oprah performance up.

  21. MsFAMUtheNmba1HBCU

    @ TIANNA…you beat me to it! That lil’ shoulda move was out of place but hey…I still love me some Bee & can’t wait for the tour. She’s killin me w/ only havin the UK Dates up & for sale.

  22. JC

    Yawn, not into the song or video and im not gonna go and see this movie. I hope it does well though.

  23. Kendrick

    when she walks across the stage isnt that similar to Rhianna on her Unfaithful video HMMMM! but its a beautiful vid tho

  24. i use to be one of her biggest fans. but since her last cd (bday) i’m over her now. what there was like 3 good songs out of 10 and 1 out of the 3 had to grow on me. she still is beautiful but i’m not really into her music anymore.

  25. chocolate_fiyah

    I agree with you, Tianna… What was that shoulder lean she was doin? She was on her way to her first classy music video. You can take the girl out the hood… Y’all know the rest

  26. the oprah performance was wayyyy better. i dont think she’ll beat out jhud for any academy awards. jhud did the damn thing in the movie and she is soooo about to blowupshuate!

  27. reen

    I think it’s kind of wack that the song they’re using to promote a movie about a group features only one person. But I guess Beyonce has the star power of all the three and her parents made sure that would happen. The video kind of reminds me of an overdone version of Whitney’s I Will Always Love You video.

  28. Well done B. I feel like she finally found her voice.
    That song is perfect for her.

    kind.

  29. LMAO @ THE DRAMATIC DANCE MOVES. STILL, THE VID IS NICE AND SIMPLE AND FOCUSES MORE ON THE MOVIE CLIPS. THUMBS UP.

    JAMIE FOXX’S CAKE FACE MAKES MY VAG DRY.

  30. TOO TOT

    I agree that is some blatant hater shyt! Comparing the song to Whitneys, I mean why not just give the girl her props. If thats the case you could compare that ballad to any ballad. I have always Loved the song and I love the video. I liked the little shoulder movement and all her extras!! That is what makes a good entertainer! Who wants to see a singer standing there all drab!

    Go B these heffas are so mad they cant compare to you!

    Who cares is she wants an Oscar. Are you trying hard to get anything????????? She is a triple threat and i am glad she is getting the exposure she is . no one complains when Brittney, Jessica, and Paris’ no singing asses are over exposed!

  31. Damn

    Go Beyonce! Very nice she put alot of soul into this song..Now I know the beyonce nayers will find a weave out of place or something minor to debate about..LOL

  32. AllisonNC

    This song seems like she is trying to hard. I wonder if her breath was bad during the video.

  33. hahaha

    Can Jen I guess its a matter of opinion . I LOVE the majority of songs on the album and so do many others.

    Bday rocks and half these rand b chicks cant compare!

  34. Bee kills this song. Haters say what you want Bee is doing it!

  35. Beyonce know she can sang…what a beautiful song. I love her hair, makeup, and that dress at the end. I must agree that that dance should have been added with the other deleted scenes. Other than that, she killed it, I wanna see the movie now!!

  36. browneyz (philly)

    Not really a fan of the song but it is a great message. I guess I’m just sick of Beyonce and her boring, no personality what so ever interviews. I’m still excited about seeing the movie and maybe Dreamgirls is just what she needed to jumpstart her movie career. I hope Jennifer Hudson blows up as well.

  37. This is one of my favorite songs from her..It’s beautiful..Video is just how I pictured it..She won’t win an Oscar for her acting..maybe best score with this song though.

    Beyonce has some big ears..I noticed that on Oprah.

  38. Monica

    Okay I love the dress and pulled up hair, I wish she would have went for that look for the whole video b/c the red lipstick is not it. I loved the end minus those dance moves, didn’t fit the song.

    Nothing about this video reminds me of Rihanna/Alien.

  39. breathstank knowles

    How bout you go SIT your ass down! This song doesn’t even have the same SUBJECT matter as that song, so what are you talking about?

    Blatant haters like yourself are disgusting

    KISS MY A**. I HAVE AN OPINION AND I WILL STATE IT.

    THE VIDEO IS A RIP FROM GRREATEST LOVE. AND AS FAR AS THAT SO CALLED BROOKLYN BOUNCE. ISN’T THAT FROM AALIYAH’S ON IN A MILLION….YEAH

  40. Antonia

    I loved when she sang this song on Oprah…it was the best I ever heard her sound, but I don’t really feel the same about the recorded version though….

  41. Meatloaf

    #27 can_jen ~ My, my! You must workout, cause I feelin those shoulders and arms!

    I agree with your take on her last CD, but she’s been so busy and forced to put something out there! Besides JayZ keeping her pinned down, she’s formed a band, toured with DC, did two or three movies, stiched a clothing line and fought off Rihanna! She’ll come back strong! Areatha and Marvin nem all put out ‘tween joints to just to meet the demand! Its the business!

    Speaking of the business, do you sing, dance or model? I might have something for you!

  42. breathstank knowles

    EXACTLY #30…ITS TO PROMOTE HER. JHUD CAN’T GET NOMINATED FOR SONG BECAUSE IT’S NOT AN ORIGINAL PIECE. DON’T WORRY THEY’LL GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

    AND BEYONCE DOES NOT HAVE SOUL….PRETEND TO HAVE IT YES..HAVE IT….NO..SORRY STANS

  43. lalade215

    Damn, Damn, Damn….I was “trying” to pay attention to the song…but I couldn’t get pass her and that red lipstick…..don’t she got some friends to clue her in…..Ain’t that why they paying Michelle for????

    *will have to listen to the track via Itunes!*

  44. I get Goose bumps listening to Beyonce sing. I watched it 2x and yeah that shoulder dance gots to go. BTW, her album is back at the top 10 and its still selling, some like it, some don’t.

  45. diplomat

    she’s definitely tryin to get that oscar, if its not gonna be for best actor or supporting actor, she for sure want to get it for best song from a movie, toooo desperate, she is very talented…but we all know Jhud got that natural talent that you just beat..sorry Beyonce…stick to making those hit albums and winning your grammys.

  46. Beyonce’s CD is great, IMO I love it all the way through…

  47. Southern Belle

    I wasn’t really feeling it.
    It seemed like she was trying too hard. I understand that she was trying to give the video a theatrical feel. But it was just too dramatic and extra, in my opinion.

  48. diplomat

    * jhud got that natural talent that you just CAN’T beat*

  49. UPGRADE_YOU

    *****

    Bey should try to rock a crisp BOB or something off the neck.

  50. Craig

    And They say My girl can’t sing, please. Beyonce puts all competetion to rest. Bee I LOve You!!!

  51. PRETTY B

    B CAN SING!!! LMFAO AT THE SHOULDER LEAN THOUGH, THAT WAS REALLLLLLLLY OUT OF PLACE.

  52. @#51, I agree JHud is the truth. When her CD comes out she is shuttin’ the game down Period…

  53. Aaliyonce

    I really like the vid. And the fact that I have an outfit just like that! Except my gray shirt is a cowgirl, not wonderwoman. I laughed at the shoulder thing. I watched the making of it. Bee seems like a cool person to hangout with. Willing to try anything at least once. Anyways, it was much better than teh Oprah performance. I actually caught chills from it.

  54. GoGo

    Why do people down Beyonce so much:

    If she just stood there everybody would be saying “Its boring…dry”

    And I think she has a beautiful voice, probably the most underrated artist…vocally

    Since everybody and they momma only care about who she dating, where she at, and what she doing

  55. I like the song and she’s very pretty to me.

  56. Nik

    I love the song of course but not really feelin the video. I dont know wth she was doin w/da shoulder thingy…She couldve saved that lil number

    Now the red lipstick… What is that about? Is it in her contract that she has to wear that shit? I mean really… Let it go Bey, just let it go!

  57. @#57, Beyonce is the most debated and hated person on this blog. I can’t understand it myself. She’s pretty, talented and very popular, so some people hate that they aren’t her I guess.
