VIDEOS: BEYONCE - ‘UPGRADE U’
Wednesday, February 28, 2007
Beyonce premiered the video for ‘Upgrade U’ on 106 & Park today. Directed by hip hop video director Melina, this joint is pretty hot - maybe hotter than the other one with Shakira might I add.
Check out Bee’s second video, ‘Beautiful Liar’ with Shakira after cut.

hmmm…i’m thinking about it. this is an unlikely pari but i think it works. i kind f thought that shakira looks like mariah carey sometimes and a little like beyonce at others…i think it’s the nose and the smile, not sure.

if u look closely at the end it’s really shakira’s body doing the winding up and not really Bee , they digitally enhanced it to look like bee that’s why when the hip action was going you didn’t see bee’s face but you could see shakiras . Then bee was in front but then auto-matically in back when the full shot appears . look closely before calling me a hater please .

Love B. Not really feeling the song. Couldn’t really listen to it too loud I’m at work.
I love belly dancing. I took belly dancing classes at UH. Ladies if you are looking for a work out forget hip hop dancing. Belly dance! If you do it right you will truely understand why belly dancers are really in shape. Love the dance moves!

Sigh… Am I the only one who struggled to tell them apart in the video?
And the concept of the video is just a little “too” dark for me lol. To Blair Witch haha.
But I love them both and support them trying to do thier “art” and make that ever so popular “money”.
Beyonce Beyonce… Shakira Shakira!

Just saw it on TRL. It was cutayyy!!!
They do look alike…just that Shakira looks so much more natural. she’s prettier but they are both cute.
The dancing part came so much more natural to Shakira too. But, all in all, that was a nice video. It’s my fav new one after “Like a Boy.”

Ms. Beyonce and Ms. Shakira? I love Shakira’s voice. It is so rich, and Beyonce is stunning! The twin concept is very nice. I couldn’t tell them apart when they were belly dancing. So sexy sistas…
And we will be seeing the idiots on here, like flies to honey, they will come, and spout nonsense.

#14, you are trying to find something wrong already. I watch the video like 4 times to see if i could tell them apart and YES it is beyonce and shakira belly dancing. they keep switching but bey has a six pack and shakira stomach is flat but its both of them. stop trying to pick apart something. if you like the video then say that if you don’t then say that.

What! Beyonce did a video with the woman who’s (steelo) style she’s stolen since her first solo cd! I use to tell people that she stole shakira’s whole look and style and people didn’t believe me, cause who would think a black girl would try to jack a latino girl’s style. But i knew it, cause when beyonce’s first solo video debuted, i said “she looks like shakira”, the makeup, the (wigs) hair, the outfits, and the body movements. And now more recently she admitted shakira is one of her idols, and now this video. Cool, but i knew i was right.
I don’t like the song or the video. Its a cute concept, but the song is not hot enough.

@ #13, i noticed that too. they looked like twins at that point. i was confused, cos i specifically wanted 2 see Beyonce swing those hips, when it looks like Shakira done most of the work.
the ending is a bit to hard core. if u get what i mean.

Loved the video, they really do look alike on the belly dancing part…had to really focus to tell the difference. Let the digital inhancing junk go and just appreciate the video…always gotta’ pull someone down. It’s probably more natural to Shakira because she’s done it so much she’s used to doing the belly dancing. They both looked gorgeous in the video.

Upgrade U come son tonight on 106!
Loving this video especially the dance break. Bee and Shaki are twins!
I will be getting the video anthology because they showed clips on TRL and seriously Beyonce is putting in work in those videos. Everythign from her look tot the dancing is fresh.

Please bey, all this to save a butt ugly shit cd, sorry, irreplaceable is your saving grace, now sit your flat poking back out behind down. And people say this cd is a success, if so, she would not be plopping down all this money to do 50 million videos. Her marketing team is hoping that you will enjoy watching her since obviously not that many people wanted to hear her. Daddy knowles is a pimp. Please give it up already. This is is straight SHIT, but we’ll probably like it because they will play it every 5 minutes cause her daddy done already paid for airtime. Saying Gheesh in advance.

The women on here calling this video hot must be dykes cause shakira and beyonce are naked for the majority of the video and they are wiggling around. I knew men might find this type of thing hot, but there must be a lot of dykes on this site.

They started with the beautiful and soulful Jennifer Hudson, and they will do it with the rich and exotic Shakira.

@ 29 so i’m not the only one who thought that. i always knew since crazy in love that bey was jacking shakira’s style. people credit the booty dance to bey but shakira was popping her booty like that for years.
it was hard to tell them apart i must admit. bey has wider hips though so that helped. and did shakira wear heels b/c she’s 4′8″ or something like that and bey looks like she’s 5′7″. weird.
also i don’t agree with the person that said bey wasn’t the one bellydancing. idk about most girls but all the females i know can do a little bellydancing. plus they have a choreographer so if bey wanted to really learn how to bellydance, i’m sure she would’ve devoted her time to doing that

I really don’t like the song, but I think the video s hot and they both look great together-although I’m sure Shakira showed Bey the ropes of the hip shaking (Shakira IS of gypsy descent)

@13 you are absolutely right because I watched the video 3 times and then I paused it right there on that part..and it is shakira…and then it is back to beyonce..but that was shakira in the front and in the back…i wonder if that was a blooper or an oops. lol but the video is hot…i love it…shakira is one of my favorites….her and ciara are my two favorites females artists

@29 I’m not going to call you a hater….because I also think Beyonce copies Shakira’s style. The moves the hair the makeup, everything. At first no one didn’t think for once that Beyonce looked like Shakira until Beyonce switched her style up d jock off from Shakira a lil. I think she wants to look like her….and if she does then okay. But Beyonce only looks like Kira until the bushy curly wig is on and the makeup is on….but when they makeup is off and the wig is off i don’t think she looks like her at all

beyonce and shakira look like sisters, they’ve always favoured each, beyonce is slightly thicker and taller than shakari.they sort got the same facial bone structure.

51, do you really think haters hate Beyonce’? NO. Whenever she is here, they will follow, like moths (haters a.k.a. “I really love Beyonce, I have all of her posters and songs to the snotty rag she had when she was little when she had a cold, but I don’t want my friends to know that I’m a Bee fan, because they hate her, so if I hate her I won’t lose my friends, so I say I am a hater, but I really do love Beyonce!”) to a flame (Beyonce Giselle Knowles).

Beyonce didn’t look like shakira in her first destiny child days (go back and look at photos), she started looking like her when she JACKED HER STYLE, when she started her solo career. Damn people, it’s not a big deal, but stop lying for no mofo reason at all. Beyonce stay jackin people’s style. Everybody was saying i was wrong, but i was right on it. And at that time, when beyonce came out with her first solo project, shakira had been taking a two-three year hiatus. Beyonce probably thought no one would notice since they sung on two totally different genres at the time. Shakira was on the latin genre and did a pepsi or coke commercial and i dont think the black community was much into her at that time. And true to form, everyone thought Beyonce had invented that look and was being original: P*L*E*A*S*E!!!!!!!!! There is nothing original about her but them ugly gowns her mother makes. This is not hate, it’s just observation. She stay jackin somebody, and she’s doing a good job at making the thievery work for her.
