The official music video for Beyoncé’s “Who Run The World (Girls)” will be premiering on Wednesday, May 18, on Fox’s American Idol. The Francis Lawrence-directed video was initially planned to debut last Friday, but was unfortunately pushed back. Word on the street is that Beyoncé is scheduled to drop by the Oprah Winfrey show, perhaps during the show’s finale week. I’m sure all of you Beyoncé Stans will be glued to your television sets tomorrow night!
In related news, Beyonce reportedly handed over 72 new songs to Columbia record execs last week. Make sure to peep our exclusive review of the video and 5 tracks from Beyonce’s upcoming album (LINK).
INFO on Rihanna’s upcoming “Man Down” video.
Rihanna will be teaming up with director Anthony Mandler for the video of her forthcoming single “Man Down”. Mandler was actually the creative director behind her latest “California King Bed” music video. When asked about the direction in which he sees the video going, the Mandler had this much to say:
“We shot the video last month in Jamaica and it’s my favorite song she’s ever recorded, so I was really excited to get involved. And it’s just one of those songs that demands a strong narrative and visual, and let’s just say she let me go all the way. So I think you can expect something that’s dramatic and shocking and intense and emotional and uplifting and enlightening. Without saying too much, if you’re looking for a narrative you’re not going to be disappointed. Just know that it’s going to be exciting.” [Source]
Alright then…We all know you’ll be the judge of that…

Looking forward to both videos. CKB was a disaapointment in that I did expect a story line of some sort. So we’ll see how both ladies do! Can’t wait.
thats smart dropping it on american idol..good promo..for that weak song..Uggs Giving Away Stuff After PETA called them out.. http://goo.gl/OeFMB to Get Consumers to Support them….haha got 2 pair!
LOL, beyonce is still trying to save that FLOP? LOL
LOL, and your still checking for her. LOL
Cant wait for both videos, especially my girl Bey’s I heard the dancing is INSANE. I wish Ri would release raining men, that’s my second fav song from her album after CKB. Back to my girl Bey, LIVE PERFORMANCES AND DANCING, it HAS been missed……
LOL, please, the only ones checking for beyonce are her loser fans like you. ask Itunes LOL.
@LOL, pls tell that LOSER again…I can’t stand these Beyawnce stans, they literally get on my nerves…I find it quite funny thhat they’re ‘quick’ to jump down realists throats about her, but yet this bish don’t give their out of work, homeless, struggling ass a dime of her $$$…wtf is that?
Not that big a fan of Beyonce’s song, there just doesn’t seem to be much singing on it, just some shouting and talking. But I still love her and I hope the video makes up for what *I* PERSONALLY think is not that impressive a song. Can’t wait for the video for Man Down, my expectations are so high that I’m hoping that I’m not let down. Love the song, hope the video lives up to it!
BEYONCE IS SUPER PLAYED OUT ! GIRLS RUN THE WORLD IS A HUGE FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. BEYONCE IS OVERRATED AND LIKE A DOG BEYONCE SHOULD BE PUT DOWN LIKE THE BITCH SHE REALLY IS. I HATE BEYONCE!
Evidently you hate dogs too. What a betch.
Lmao, just cos she better than Keri
obviously you don’t hate beyonce cause you read the article clicked comment & wasted ya time commenting.. you know what they say your haters are actually your biggest fans
I may be the only one who feels “Man Down” should not have been used as a single. “California King Bed” is the breadwinner, and the followup final single should have been “Cheers.”
LMAO, give it up, beyonce. the song FLOPPED. now you just look desperate LMAO.
WE WILL SEE WONT WE AND THEN WILL YOU STOP HATING CAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT EVERY ALBUM SASHA FLOOPED AND YOU’VE BE WRONG CAUSE YOU KNOW ABOUT THE RULES 3 STRIKES AND YOUR OUT.
i see beyonce is taking a cue from J-Lo by releasing her video on AI. it worked for J-Lo, so i guess it should work for her too.
Bey premiering that video on American Idol is a TOTAL act of desparation. Girl you lost us on that one. The song is trash and she needs to put out another ASAP.
Thank u, besides this bish is almost 30 years old, so why are u putting out these teeny bopper songs? Pop? Really? Beyawnce has NO POP qualities…maybe POOP, but not POP! Pls someone tell her to STFD already….only Illuminati keeps her ‘relevant’…truth be told #truth
BEYONCE HATERS WILL BE PUT TO REST IN ABOUT 25 TO 27 HOURS.
“I THINK I NEED A BARBER, NUN OF THESE BI***S CAN FADE ME.”
BEYONCE REVOULTION WILL BEGIN SOON.
cannot ucfkin wait for tomorrow.
Tell me is Rhianna going to release a video for every song on her album?
Can’t wait for tomorrow for the BEYONCE music video.
Update: Beyonce did perform on Oprah’s taping tonight and the news channels and blogs all over the internet are going crazy! Everyone who was at the show said she murdered the stage and gave and outstanding performance!!! Congrats Bey,i know you are just warming up!!!
this tired “queen” needs to sit her “i wish i was latina” no longer black a$$ down!!! Girl boom..she is beyond tired!!!!
Rhianna’s vid for California King is soooo awesome, love the song and the same director of CK will be handling MAN DOWN as well, and that I cannot wait to see…. As for B, good luck sis! U should be aiight.
