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.

yeah it’s because they switched places at one point…while you’re looking at Shakira who’s now in the back, Beyonce is in the front

they just switched places, that’s all.

Cool video. But I dont think Bey looks like Shakira. It’s really the curly wig and make-up that helps her look “exotic”.

Man haters just don’t give up! LOL The video is hott I must say. Why can’t people be happy that there is a powerful black woman doing her thing and out selling all the other female artists instead of being jealous. Beyonce doesn’t copy Shakira shes herself and thats all. The girl works hard and even a hater can’t deny that.

First let me state I love Beyoncé before ya’ll put me in the hate train. I like the concept, its so 80s, thanks for everything Michael Jackson.

Why can’t people state what they see.

Nobody is hating, there was a glitch in the editing, I saw it too, so Shakira appears in two spots in one shot. And I was watching closely cause I was getting confused, not looking for imperfection so that I may feel better about myself.
Just because you didn’t see it, doesn’t mean its not there it happens all the time in editing.

Yo Gezzy (post #13), r u serious??? LMAO. That was not digitally enhanced. it’s obviously done like that on purpose cuz they’r supposed to look alike. Why u gotta say bout the part when they show both of their faces and hips shaking. I knew somebody would have something negative to say about it. Hot video. Jus leave it at that.

I so love the video. I was like in the ending, “who is who?”. But you can tell which is which because the different body types. Haters are in denial. Its alright. When Beyonce first came out, she looked like herself (excuse me) but when she puts on the curly bush, then she looks like Shakira. I hate it when haters always try to convince you about something like they really know it all, Negro please.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

That was really HOT! It never fails…Bee can do basically ANYTHING she puts her mind to. I’ve always admired Shakira’s dancing. Now I will learn all the words in the next 5 minutes and dance to it in my mirror. Yay!!!

By the way, did anyone else notice “The Boy Is Mine” kinda concept behind the song? Love it!!!

96.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

I WANNA KNOW Y PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THAT BEYONCE IS COPYING ARTISTS OR SHAKIRA. IF SHE IS THEN SHE IS OBVIOUSLY DOIN A HELLA BETTER JOB WITH IT CUZ I AINT SEEN N E FEMALE ARTIST THAT PEOPLE DROWL OVER OTHER THAN BEYONCE. AND HOW CAN BEYONCE BE COPYING SHAKIRA WHEN BEYONCE CAME OUT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY B-4 SHAKIRA DID? PEPES IS LOVIN BEYONCE A LOT MORE CUZ Y R THEY PHENEN OFF OF BEYONCE DOIN THE BOOTY THING AND NOT SHAKIRA, THINK ABOUT IT.IT COULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

LOL, i know, it so sad, the poor girl is obsessed with proving her point, what the hell was the point again?

that negative energy she is wasting, she could have spent checking out her favourite artist and be enjoying that, instead of wasting precious time.

poor thing needs to go to rehab to get bee out of her system.LOL

This song is ohkay and the video was ohkay and newsflash Shakira didnt come up with the booty bouncing belly wiggling whatever you wanna call it dance moves. So apparently Beyonce aint really jocking her style…but any hoot.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

i never realized it until i read some comments on here but her style IS so much like shakira.wow.

i love the video because i llllove shakira.its hot cant knock beyonce for this one.she knows how to make money,i mean her daddy does but i didnt buy the cd the first time and wont buy it this time.

Required

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

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 .

——————————————————————————–
it was beyonce on an old mtv on the diary show beyonce did that dance her hip can pop out or some shit like dat a nice video though

101.

LOL

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

BEYONCE…YOU NEED TO GET SOME NEW STUFF…SAME OLD DANCES.. SAME OLD MOVES..AND SAME OLD SOUND..I DON’T WHAT YOU GUYS LIKE ABOUT THIS VIDEO, BUT IT’S NOTING NEW (OH SHAKIRA IS IN.. THAT NICE). WHAT OTHER VIDEO CAN BEYONCE DO, BUT SEXY VIDEOS. BEYONCE TAKE MY ADVISE, CHECK OUT CIERA’S NEW VIEDO (LIKE A BOY) AND GET SOMETHING NEW AND CREATIVE.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

To STACEY AND JSCENE: Shakira has changed her look over the years too.. She use to have RED HAIR like Joss Stone has now. also her hair used to be BLEACHED BLONDE too. So I guess you haven’t done your homework so you don’t get your after school snack.

em, wtf? ciara? ciara has been dancing like a boy since she came out, nothing has changed. she just had the sense to make a song about it.

now speaking of copying, she copied janet and micheal, nothing new.

she also copied that lesbian segment that have been wanting to be a boy. so what is new.

108.

MrGEORGE

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

this video is hot
unlikely collabo but it works
i like the concept of not being able to tell them apart with the similar styling and cuts to them dancing.
i remember when concreteloop first posted this without shakira and people said that beyonce was copying shakira, not knowing that it was designed to be a duet with her.
hahahahahaha people on here crack me up

Dont like her then STAY OFF HER SHIT!If you really don’t like Beyonce then you wouldn’t have click on the video, or even comment 4 the most part.cuz I know I hate Rhianna and I dont know a damn thang bout her but yall”hataz” are over here writing FACTS about Beyonce that i dont even know and I like her.You know you like Beyonce, it ain that hard 2 addmit.#58, I 100% agree.

The video is not enhanced. I slowed it down on my TiVo. Why do people have to tear people down for no reason? If you don’t like it, say you don’t like it. Don’t go trying to make up shit.

Then Stacey. Why did you have to post 20 times to prove just how much you don’t like Beyonce. Damn, we knew the first 5 times. BTW your links don’t work. & turn that TV off and do your homework.

Anyway, i like the song, and the video is def. hot. Good career move.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

#110 agree. If people don’t like her fine, then say “I DON”T LIKE THE B$TCH!” then move on. The fans only get upset when someone comes on here and try to knock her down by saying she copying, she fake, she can’t sing, she ghetto, she can’t dance, she always looks the same, her father paid for it, she this she that. Haters spend too much time picking out things you would think Beyonce hit their puppy then back up twice then hit it again. Get over it already.

#29 that was the whole idea of making the song together and singing with Shakira to try and outdo her in the video and song. Shakira has more sex appeal as far as how she moves and dances! Beyonce’s trying to get like her and I’m not buying it! That girl is wack I swear!

i like the part “… and do your homework”

one more thing, i know people have already said this but it amazes me why if you hate someone you could stand watching their stuff, learn everything about them so you can argue with us “stans” and then waste your time commenting.

i have no feelings (note i don’t like or hate) for rihanna, ciara. so i don’t waste my time going into their post, what is my business with them, and even if i go there, i only comment IF i like the stuff i see there because i don’t have precious time to give to them.

Umm…she copied Kelis’ “Caught Out There” with that wack ass “Ring The Alarm”

This SONG IS GARBAGE!!!! What the f*ck is she talking about with a “Beautiful Liar” I could barely make out them stupid ass lyrics. The video is boring as hell with them low productions, she must’ve spent all her money on those other boring videos cause this looks like it was done in the back of a wal-mart. Call me a hater (but the ones that call people haters for voicing their opinion, are STANS!!!)all you damn well want but this is the type of sh!t that is ruining r&b.

Vari

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 /

hmmmm….i like Beyonce (i thought her & jhud were great at the Oscars although most on CL did not) i like Shakira (& yea usually she has more passion and fire when singing in Spanish, but i guess she gotta get that crossover money) BUT i am NOT feelin this video. maybe it’ll grow on me though i doubt it

Maybe its just me. I mean I love my light skinned sisters & I have a light skinned sister but damn a WHOLE video with this “WOW! Dont I look like Shakira” concept was a little annoying for me.

wtf i need to be confused watchin a video tryna guess is that Bey or Shakira. When i watch a Beyonce video I wanna know its her even on a collabo, shyt!

i dont need 3 minutes of a black woman seemin sooooo damn giddy to pass for somethin other than black. maybe i’m tripping but it is still Black History Month Dammit!

to 119)
let’s assume that beyonce ONLY invited shakira for a dance off and only sang with jennifer at the oscar also for a dance off.

at least she is smart enough to fight with talented dancer and singer instead of some lousy dancer and singer.

that is why i like beyonce she goes for the difficult.

BUT, people are so dumb not to realise that shakira is very big in europe and south america, so she is trying to appeal to that area. they are looking at personal issues. B is trying to make more money, who has time to be fighting.

SAME THING AT THE OSCARS WHEN BEYONCE WAS TRYING TO OVER JENIFER HUDSON, JENIFER DID NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

you are the one who came to BEYOnce’s post to use ciara as an example, i am only pointing out that EVERYBODY copies everybody, EVEN MICHEAL COPIED JAMES BROWN(i know it is hard for you to believe,LOL)

i bet james brown copied someone from the streets he was leaving it. it is called INSPIRATION.

i don’e like ciara so i would not comment on her segment, BUT i have the sense to acknowledge that she is the best in cherographed dances since janet(which she got inspiration from), but beyonce is spontanous, you can’t beat that.

ok i love ciara’s popping.LOL

Personally, I don’t see what the hype is all about. The video is okay, a little boring, and the song is boring. It’ll only make it high on the charts because it’s Beyonce and Shakira. Nothing spectacular. My opinion.

I expected something out of this world the way majority of the people here are talking.

Okay why all the look alike comments, they don’t look a like at all each lady has their own unique features. The song is okay and theirs a small dancing part that from the comments I thought was going to really be something spectacular but it was okay and the video was decent. I think that they each do better in their own video because when they are together they kind of cancel each other out.

in the little dance break, they used shakira’s body twice to make up for bey’s inability to move her hips. i saw frozen shots of this on the net. lol!

they both look lovely though

Too many of y’all are simple. Beyonce’s manager doesn’t have as much pull as y’all give him. If he wasn’t Beyonce’s father, y’all wouldn’t know his name.

Clearly, this video was produced so that the two would be “mirror images” of each other. Beyonce is on top her game, Shakira is on top of her game - sounds like a SMART MOVE to me. Making history, and this will cross both of them over. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Are there still intellectually gifted people of color, or did they stop being born after 1979?

pure hate. No one ever copied shakira. Why would she want to copy someone who can’t sing? lol….beyonce’s voice is in a whole nother level. She actually released a solo version of “Beautiful LIar:” without shakira on it. And she says BEYONCE BEYONCE is SASHA is SASHA! that is a baaad bitch lol. She blows the track up, and for the shakira version she had to actually tone her vocals down so it wouldn’t look like she was upstaging her. Ya’ll need to get ur shit together. beyonce’s the queen
