I LUV THIS VID
beyonce always has some orginal vids if u look bac she;s he own thing

I don’t understand why some of you are so worked up…this song and video are just okay. Neither will be big enough to warrant all the fuss…

According to MediaBase, “If I Were A Boy” is getting tons of spins at “Top 40″ radio stations all around the country.

I’m not a huge fan of the song but- I like the fact that many Black artists including Beyonce are moving out of their comfort zones. To take it a level further though has anyone thought about why female artists keep singing songs about being boys and wishing they had more power? We are living in 2008 a Black man is about to be president- why are we as women still allowing ourselves to be in these submissive roles?

Think about it people…This video was so predictable…there was no ways she would be singing such a song in full make up and shiny clothes like all her other videos (especially all the Bday videos), it just wouldn’t make sense…

The video is well directed and the plot was written by good writers.

I am just glad she is not half naked in make up and big hair….

Oooops i think i just gave away the plot for the single ladies video… ha ha ha ah ha

lol@ the comment telling ri to leave and take a bow. and the other comment about marco polo bubble gum song, that song so dead. oh, 167 well said. yall need to stop lol ive read all the comments, yall got me going… GREAT JOB B!

This is one of the best things Beyonce’s ever done. the video is great, she’s so much more appealing stripped down without all the drag queen make-up. I already liked the song but the video made me like it more. Like I say in most of my posts about Beyonce, I do like her and her talent I just hate when she gets overly praised for sub par work. Here she remembered to add the substance and it’s paid off with the majority of her audience hater and stan alike mostly liking it as a result.

Lastly, it was good to see her playing the bad girl for once as she hasn’t been that versatile siince the Writing’s On The Wall days with Temptations and Confession. My only complaint was that she didn’t stay in charater throughout the whole vid. It would have been more ironic if she had been saying ‘Look girls, we slag off men at every opportunity but a lot of us are just as bad!’

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!
She continues to set the standard of all that’s great, in a sea of bullshit!

This vid is why Beyonce is the Queen.

MUST ADMIT THAT I WASN’T SURE OF THE SONG AT FIRST. BUT SEEING THE VIDEO NOW MAKES EVERYTHING UNDERSTANDING. GO BEY!

Loved the song, loved the video, expected nothing less from Beyonce - no matter what anyone says about her, you cannot take away from the fact that Beyonce is creative, and she can sing. She knows her chosen profession, and she does every aspect of it very well.

Props B.
Good work.

kind

Damn Bee keeps us talking love her or hate her we alllllllll debate her. Get em Mrs. Carter!

#482 that comment was uncalled for, ignorant, and unnecessary. The music is up for judge not their personal life AND Jay-Z is an intelligent BLACK Business man and Beyonce is an intelligent BLACK Business woman. Why is it that people who don’t like Beyonce clicked on a Beyonce Post?

I guess I’m like one of the only people who don’t like the song (its better than that Single Ladies bull though)….the video is nice though…but could of sworn we been here before with Ciara but alright….

FINALLY! A site where the Hate is less than 1%. Some sites are just brutal for no reason. This song is hot, This video is hot, and B is back!! Is the Single Ladies video out yet?

I liked it. Very pretty song & video. Very nice.

Wow the Video is Wonderful, totally was surprised at the end.
I love it B keep up the good work, we need more artist like you.
If I were a Boy I would compliment women more often, we love that. holla.

As usual…as always…B has brought the heat with her video and changed my complete perception of the song lol. Loooove it! Raw….little makeup…no weave. Very nice.

I was so busy this weekend that I just viewed the video…WOW, That was everything I needed and more

Love Beyonce.. but bored with it.. this video was BORING BOOTS… but her method works (male bashing) !!!

IT’S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT BEYONCE DON’T HAVE HER ON CONCEPT OF MAKING A VIDEO OUT OF HER OWN THOUGHTS, SHE HAD TO GO AND STEAL CIARA WAY OF DOING HER SONG, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE DON’T HAVE NOTHING ON CIARA, SHE WOULD GET SHOWED OUT EVERYTIME, LOOK AT CIARA NEW VIDEO, GO GIRL! AND YOU WILL DEFINETLY AGREE!

^^^oh stfu. ciara is as unoriginal as it gets with her wannabe janet/aaliyah self.

fefe dobson came out with ‘like a man’ in 2006 so i guess ciara copied her?

and ciara new wack video she copied beyonce’s get me bodied outfit.

so ciara stans sit down. ciara aint even on no talent rihanna’s level so you know she aint got nothing on beyonce.

beyonce is the most popular, richest, and successful black female artist period.

so ciara stans rihanna stans, etc can all exit to the left because all eyes are on Queen Bey.

OVER 500 COMMENTS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW IT’S OFFICIAL. BEYONCE HAS ARRIVED AND IS READY FOR TAKEOVER ONCE AGAIN.

BOTH THE SONG AND VIDEO ARE HOT!!!!!!!!

AND ‘SINGLE LADIES’ IS THE ISH TOO!!!!

GO HEAD MISS BEYONCE!!!

Hate to say I told you so but…..Yeah! So just as I predicted, in “Video Killed the Radio Star” fashion, the video made us appreciate the song even more. How ’bout another prediction/thought. The video for “Single Ladies” will be a sequel to this video…hmmmm.
And before I go, to all of you who thinks that Beyonce is “copying” Ciara, there is NOTHING new under the sun so deal with and get over it! I am JUST saying….

Why is it that when men don’t really have a profession they call them BUSINESS MEN and when WOMEN don’t have one, they call them models? Just wondering.

Compare compare compare that’s all everybody ever does. Everybody else might as well go on vacation with Jeezy because Beyonce is back. When Deja Vu came out, nobody liked it. I myself thought it looked like a long JCPenny’s commerical but with or without my approval, the broad still sold a multi-platinum album. Haters…OOPS i mean those with an opinion, keep her going….it can be a post about her breaking a damn nail and it will be at least 300 comments on whether she gets gel or acrylic.

@548 thats what im tlaking bout IGORNANT comments like that is UNCALLED For!
Rihanna kills on itunes sells and most # 1 hits and most in’tl success. Becuase her music is mainly for white fans.
Ciara kills on entertainig, has muermous awards grammy’s and close to 9 million records sold with only two album #1 hit, spew of top 10 hits about 7 or 8. She is doing her thing! No other artist with just two albums out is on her lvl!
Beyonce Forbes most pwoerful celebrity, kills on her shows. Best selling female group of all time numerous awards, spew of hits and #1 hits.

So tell me besides time( Bey been out over 10 yrs now)and a females group. all these ladies are hot and killing it point BLANK! So stop bashing them because their success again SPEAKS for themselves and all this other blah blah blah is non sense!!!

PLEASE I will seriously hurt all these artist stans when I show them how the styled after another artist. Please I love Bey and i know my music and I can go on for days min. 5 artist she style after. So for ciara to really style only after Michael Janet and a bit of Madonna, cus I see no Aaliyah no where, Aaliyah styled after Mike Janet and Mary. Ciara is nothing of that nature. So stop please its getting old and VERY false!

I usually like Beyonce but I don’t like the song, and I don’t like the video, she couldv’e came better than this, this song makes me want to go to sleep, it is boring, boring very very boring.

very nice song and video Bey …

I LOVE THE SONG AND VIDEO!!!!!!!! GO BEE! YEAH SHE REALLY DID HER THING AND THE ACTING WAS ON POINT!! IT LOOKED LIKE A MOVIE TO ME! GO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this sucks she needs to give it up

sucksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

this is garbage

I don’t see how anyone could call this garbage. This video is so good. And I know single ladies is going to be good. She can’t BEE stopped.

Hotttttttttttttttttttttttttt

you blind sheep that love to call folks haters if they don’t like one or more of bey’s songs are ….well, blind sheep. grow up.

AY YO DAT VIDEO WAS DA BOMB

I feel like this song…..! for people who think they are professional freakin critics bugg off! you dont get the artistic point of the song! deff expresses a womans point of view.

OMG! I was never really a B fan, I just liked her stuff but never repped B…but um this song right here…and the Video…they got me TOGETHER! Here I am B! LOL. She is speaking VOLUMES on this one. I’m copping it when it drops!

Nice Video & Song

This video is boring as hell! WTF is up with the black n white themes in her two new videos? This song sucks ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! It’s so stupid. I can’t believe people really like this sh*t. It makes me wanna go to sleep. She’s a horrible actress and the video was very off. There was no chemistry between her and the guy and she looked like she was actually shooting a damn video! Everything was unbelievable. Oh and… even with a serious video and song, she still manages to find a way to reveal her body when changing in the locker room. Something very unecessary. Is there one popular R&B singer who doesn’t sell sex or their bodies in music videos anymore?

@ #89 you’ve go to be kidding me. Are u for real? You really think Ciara is a force to be reckoned with? Yeah riiiggghhhttt. All of those people you mentioned are legends and they have proven themselves to be some of the best entertainers in the business. Their music is timeless and will forever be played from generation to generation. These are some of the most revered names in the entertainment industry. I honestly believe Ciara will never ever reach that type of fame. Yes Ciara has her fan base but to say she will be on the same level as these people is ludicrous. If Ciara is the future of music then music is headed down a very dark path and needs to be rescued immediately.

i loved this video n love this song to death

Love the song! The original singer and writer is on myspace. I love her version of it too. JC Jean from Cali, very talented. Check her out.

Thats BC Jean

i didn’t like the song at first is was just boring but now with the video it makes it all better = ) i love it

wasn’t feeling the song at first but with the video.. i love it now;..

WHAT Nothing NEW ALL LAST YEAR!!! Ciara been did this and even M T V says the same thing in her post. Mentioning Ciara in it stans can hate but whole world see it!

This is one of her best video. The song and the video told the story about how men my bad boys act. No harm no foul right boys ? Wrong. You boys have no idea how it makes us women feel. Wait come back Thickems.
I love the video and the song ! Great job ! !

I wasn’t feeling this song at first BEY killed this video … the concept is really realistic it’s a deeper side to relationships when your man acts stupid !!!!….reversal roles is a brilliant idea she didn’t copy Ciara…at all !!!!!…. she switched up her style..ISN’T THIS WHAT THE HATERS BEEN ASKING FOR ???? to compare alone is retarted and only the haters do that to discredit BEY … she has grown as a women and as an artist love this chick !!!!…. GO BEY !!!!

I Like I Like!

I am glad you made this song Beyonce…. I feel like this everyday…
I appreciate your craft. And I encourage you to keep making music with a message! And I respect you valuing your relationships privacy!

That video was amazing!!! Ya’ll have to give credit where credit is due. It was artistic and had an awesome message. There was no shaking and bouncing, just pure voice and quality. That’s a classic BEE! You are the one to admire. Talent, beauty, and just overall someone for young girls to strive to be like. You’re famous for a reason! Unlike these other no talent, famous for no reason lames like Kim Kardashian! I hope you win grammies and video of the year awards for this one!!!!!!

LMAO @ anyone trying to compare this to similar b.s. that was out.

Beyonce did her THANG in this video! She tore the words off this joint!

Can ya’ll imagine this live? WHEW!!!

I don’t like either song - but the energy Bey shows in her dancing is incredible. I don’t know where she gets all that energy from and her dance steps look like you could throw a hip out doing those if you are not careful. LMAO

This is a beautiful video. I can honestly understand where she is coming from, the role that is being played. It’s sad to say though, the majority of relationships are like this. You can sense the feelings from each of them. Beyonce’s role as a boy and him as a girl. At the end, his attitude is very selfish. But hey, It’s a beautiful, sensual song. It’s funny how when us women act this way, men wake up quickly as if they smelled a hot, fresh cup of coffee. I love it. Wonder how it would be if I were a boy

People will eat up anything you give them nowadays. Video–nothing i’ve never seen before–so is the concept. (If I Were a Boy) DRY. Sorry. Beyonce could do better if she stopped putting out so much quantity and focused on quality for a change. I’m Bored.

I just watched this video on the premiere on 106 & Park and I am feeling the roleplay and I soooooo feel her in this song.

Oh and I like,Like a boy by Ciara but Ciara’s video is mostly dancing.No Roleplay….I think Ciara’s video/song has more meaning and feeling to it.IMO….I like both songs but Beyonce’s is better.

Its okay. The vids better than the song.

Her love interest’s smile is sexy as hell.

Beyonce kinda jacked the song.

It’s stupid to call someone a hater because they don’t like Beyonce’s music. I personally feel she has a good voice, is sexy, is a very good dancer, but is unoriginal. Even the title of her album, “I am” sounds way too similar to Alicia Key’s recently released album “As I am.” I don’t like the song if I were a boy, but I do like the video. The video is creative. And the song is honest. R&B has become distracive. The flashiness and excessive dancing and shaking in most R&B videos nowadays, distract the listeners/viewers from the fact that the musical content is lacking. A perfect example of this is Beyonce’s video, single ladies. The song is unoriginal and repetitive and the video is boring. Yet, most people seem to be distracted by how good she looks, and how good her dancing is.

If you look at my link above, you can see that not only does she seem unoriginal but she actually is unoriginal as she stole the song from BC Jean.

I LUV Beyonce ! period, end of story…….: )

I love the if i were a boy video : )

One of her best videos and songs!!!!

i love the video but were did beyonce get the earring that was were in the video?

Love this video

How she gonna come back with this ol bullshit. When u come back after a long wait like that you best come correct if u wanna keep ya fan base. And I hope I don’t read no mo comments on here about how somebody ain’t Beyonce cause this sh!t was just mediocre! Yeah, she can sing, but the songs she got hittin the waves ain’t about much. If it wasn’t her yall know ya wouldn’t be sayin u liked it so d@mn much.

beyonce chick, u r hottttt. Rihanna, Ciara, Janet Jackson and all them ada ladies put together hav got nothing on her…. straight up… love her and everything she stands for… none of her songs are boring. who else can perform a sizzling hott performance two hours straight with heels?

I loved the song and video. I loved the end i did not expect that.

Luv da video beyonce did her thang!
