    Whenever Bey has a simple video concept it always turns out amazing. Great choreography, Great wardrobe, she looks great and the guys look great. I love it! This era is giving me everything!

  2. TRP

    I love it! I actually like it better than the “Countdown” video.

  3. Kyla

    I love the song but I really don’t like the video.
    Seems like they rushed to put this together and the scene change around 1:43 is awkward.

  4. LaydeeTee

    I love this video…it is also one of my favorite songs on the album I have it on my playlist for my wedding….lol

  5. welfarecase

    wack… where are the other R&B singers out there? I feel like I listen to Beyonce because she is the only one to listen to… I love her success and career but not feelin her music

    • JaZZiE

      No disrespect, but I don’t think I’ve seen another current artist with the amount of drive and talent Beyonce has. There are so many female singers out right with amazing voices, but you have to have more…work harder…branch out to other ventures. They aren’t doing that.

    • katie

      ^^^The only drive and talent she has it to steal from other artists and claim them as her own thinking no one will find out.

    • Jazz

      Lady Gaga has quite a bit of drive and talent in my opinion…..

    • Derrick

      They are all out there, Beyonce isn’t stopping them from making music. If you are a true R&B fan you would know what’s up. Beyonce’s latest album wasn’t even an R&B album. Go out and support your favorite artists and stop blaming Beyonce for something she has no control over.

    • C.Ali

      agreed.
      this video was sooo corny. omgsh.
      i kinda would like her to stop with the whole inspiration thing…i feel as if she is too far in her career… to continue this inspiration thing in such a huge way, nothings wrong with it here and there but like seriously she’s done so well…she should be setting trends and having other people find her an inspiration. she’s talented…and has done well but she’s needs to come again.

    • Nika

      The forever shrinking/appearing baby bump….one segment, gotta bump; next segment..where is the bump? HAHA, this broad.

    • emily

      @derrick THANK YOU!!!
      People act like Beyonce locked the other artists in a room so they can’t get some shine.
      THERE ARE SOOOO MANY OTHERS YOU CAN LISTEN TO. Stop moaning
      Love the video. Simple and she looks cute

  6. aSHE

    Cute video, but corny song.

  7. Ebony

    I like the video. The song is ok.

  8. MIA

    Dear Beyonce,

    Can I please shrink you and put u in my pocket? I think you are sooo adorable! xxxo
    pumpkin face!

    Love Mia!

  9. BIGGESTAALIYAHFAN

    I just Love the song. One of my favorites from the album.

  10. redcafe

    People who dont like this video need to go back in time when we had performers of excellence who put on performances only in their videos. This is classic. Timeless, both song and video, simple and effective, it feels good and she looks beautiful. No need to have different hari colors and clothes, no need for extravagant video concepts trying too hard for some generic bullshit songs that unfortunately rule the US charts as we speak. So a big thank to Beyoncé for taking the risk to make a real song with real vocals and showing what a true artist is in this video.

    • Rissa Cups

      Well stated, indeed. The video is great.

    • =

      the song and video was …inspired by someone else.and its overdone and corny and why with the leotard?selling her body again if all else fail.pleeeaaase we need more talent!somebody please need more r&b singers were they at there has been NOTHING but her for years!wtf!

    • Cocogoddess21

      The video and song is corny. People are allowed to have an opinion and not like something. Beyonce is not an innovator, she’s not doing anything that hasnt been done, all shes doing is stealing and reusing. Stop hyping her up. Truth is she is just a pretty face w/ a nice voice. She’s no Jhud, Aretha, Christina, Whitney, and most definitely not MJ. She doesnt write, choreograph, or come up w/ anything creative.

    • devriley

      dont be a hater coco ^^^

    • sean

      Dear Beyonce,

      The video is a mess its very corny, i dont care who U were inspired by, new edition, michael jackson, whom ever! dont get me wrong, i am not a hater nor a die hard fan of yours i give props when props are due, youre very talented and can sing and perform her your ass off but being such the icon most of your gay fans say you are, it would be nice for u to deliver some quality ground breaking videos, your music videos suck, i think you need to call Janet Jackson to get a few tips on how it really needs to be do, k? thanx..bye!!!

  11. BENJAMIN

    I like the song, but the video seems incomplete. Why was there a need to cut out the second verse is beyond me. But for some reason, the lyrics don’t sync right in the second half. Could have used some more backdrops, the Off The Wall theme was nice, but needed a little more. Now I’m just confused as to which song is the official next single? Is it this one, Countdown, or Party? What is going on with Beyonce’s team these days.

  12. 2damnfunny

    Love it!

    The song sounds like something Whitney would have sang on her first album and the video gives a tribute those NE & Bobby Brown moves…I miss that.

    Y’all catch that ‘Every Little Step’ move?

  13. No 2nd verse, B?!? I wouldn’t mind seeing her dance a lil more sans baby bump…I mean I’m just sayin’ tho…LOL

  14. Kyoto

    I would like to hear JHud sing this song..I like her powerhouse vocals and think they would blend in better with the big horns in the background..

    Vid is ok, but its just something, is lacking to me.. And B just seems to be yelling..

  15. sassywitit

    AWESOME. THIS IS MUSIC. I love it. Bey is dressed so cute.

  16. Luv

    Great… She’s not pregnant again..

  17. Lo

    I really like this song, it sounds like it was written by her sister Solange and Beyonce also sounds like her as well. I love the New Edition’s if it isn’t love inspiration but it seems like she is always “inspired” to use something from others.

  18. DEYDEY

    PLEASSSSSSSSSSSE……’End of Time’ next. that’s my jam.

  19. Lucky Bluciano

    im sorry but beyonce is fcking wack there’s just something about her now that i don’t like

    • Cocogoddess21

      The fakeness and theiving. I’ve been feeling that way about her since 2007 but back then people didn’t see what they see now.

    • MEAT & POTATOES

      I think in essence what you’re saying is, she gives off bad vibes. This is what some people don’t seem to understand. They look at it as if people “hate” Beyonce. I truly believe that it’s her “character” that people don’t like. As I’ve said before, you don’t have to know a person personally in order to pick up on the vibes that they give off. While Beyonce is a beautiful woman and very talented, there are other things that’s beneath the surface that people are feeling from her. Which is why people say that she’s a liar, fake, sneaky, phony, jealous, evil and manipulative. Of course because she’s beautiful, it will be hard for people to believe that she could have qualities like that. But, vibes don’t lie. If you have more than one person saying this about her, is it possible that it could be true? Unattractive people are not the only ones to have “ugly” qualities about themselves. My mother always told me, “Trust your gut.” If you have a persistant feeling about something or someone, then 9 times out of 10, it’s true.

  20. MzDom_87

    Beyonce put out enough singles to cover her pgrenancy and post pregnancy… that’s why in all her videos that she’s put out she’s not showing. A video takes 3days to make but 3-4 to put in place, the concept and finding a director plus a budget has to be set up before a vid can be made!!! That;s for all you ppl whose doubting she’s pregnant. As far as the song if your a real music fan u would know the genre and concept she went for, she’s a classic and legend in her right! Nobody can do what Beyonce does, they copy off of her not the other way around!!! Stop hating and be proud a black woman or better yet an artist is still going strong after almost 15years!!!

    • katie

      Girl stop. She blatantly stole from artists. That worked a few times but when it the 5th 6th time around it doesn’t work Stop being butt over her being a thief. De-fvcking-lusional.

    • lyric

      Katie, can I ask you Why do you come on post about Beyonce? every time you do u leave negative comments. its ok not to like her thats up to you, but why are you even looking at her video if you feel like that? like damn she hasn’t done anything to u personally. just seems like your hating.:/

    • Sasswithit

      Why don’t people understand that even when a “cd” is “finished” that the artist is still making songs? I don’t get it…….

    • katie

      @lyric What does it matter why I comment? And stop with that that “hating” nonsense. Instead of pulling red herrings why not attack my argument? Does she or does she not steal and claim them as her own? Don’t deflect. >_>

    • lyric

      Katie>> Its nothing new under the sun and I wouldn’t call it stealing. All the artist get “inspired” from somewhere. Yea this video was reminiscent of New Edition in the begging and so what? But u do sound like your hating though u called mzdom “De-fvcking-lusional. what was all that for? and im just saying if you dont like her so much why do you even bother paying her any attention?

    • katie

      I don’t care what you call it in your world. She steals in general. Get over it. You sound like a stan and if you don’t like my comments don’t read and pay attention to them.

  21. Jazz

    This chick can’t do anything ORIGINAL anymore. Smh.

  22. Jazz

    She likes using the words “I was inspired” rather than “so i basically just stole their concepts and ideas.” lol

  23. Derrick

    Don’t particularly care for this video…seems unnecessary. i think she should have just used the footage from her VMAs performance as an official video.

  24. TRUTH

    I swear i wonder how celebs do it like beyonce whitney mariah & others, i have never seen such negative people on blogs ever, i remember in the 90s where there wasnt many blogs not much critizing, now its like damnnn. I understand giving an opinion about something but its a difference between what you say & how you say it

    • BEYONCELAND

      I know right thats because they jealous of her but she is always gonna be #1, and have the most grammys. She is a triple threat in the words of britney spears. In countdown, beyonce says ” all that gossip in 10 year, stop it”. Listen to King B, b/c if you dont like her keep it moving b/c nothing is gonna change. And the only reason she aint on the top of the charts is b/c she doesnt tweet and find different ways to reach her fans. She is a Icon and ya’ll can stay made cause she said once she have the baby she bring it with he which means she is coming to slay the industry

    • Cocogoddess21

      Brainwashed!!

    • Marles

      I’m sorry, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. It seems these days, the second you say “I don’t care for this,” “this wasn’t my cup of tea,” or the likes you’re dubbed a hater and negative Nancy lacking in “taste.” Please, stop. Not everything is for everyone. We’re free to say what we such.

      With that said, I haven’t liked this album much. Like someone else said, this video seems unneccessary, something released just to stay relevant when she already is.

  25. Johnny Mae

    ummm. NO.
    What’s going on B?

    U have gave the triple threat before this “4″ album
    1) Great albums
    2) Great performances & Concerts
    3) Great videos

    Now I’m seeing triple B***S***!
    1) Flop album
    2) Boring videos
    3) No major tours or concerts

    So you want to distract us with this disaster by being pregnant??? or Are you really pregnant?? COME ON B???

    • Derrick

      The album sold so how is it a flop? You may find her videos boring but everyone is checking for her, her videos get thousands of hits within a day of hitting the net and the likes always outweigh the dislikes. She decided to start a family and did some intimate shows, sorry you don’t approve of that or her pregnancy. Some of you are too fucking pathetic!

    • emily

      4 was #1 in 20 countries so I won’t call that a flop
      And if you think she will fake a pregnancy to remain relevant (despite the fact she just headlined Glastonbury, received the Billboard millennium award & sold out 4 shows in 22 seconds), then LMAO

    • rjpwb120884

      Im lost….How is this album a flop??? It broke records in 18 countries and it went platinum after 3 weeks…. She hasnt toured probably because touring stresses the body and she pregnant and besides the video for 1+1 i think she’s done a pretty good job of putting out quality products. I love this album MORE THAN B-DAY and the entire SASHA FIERCE SIDE OF I AM!!! It’s really funny how simple minded people are at times and substantiate the things the post on blogs with opinion only…. give me facts!!!

      FACT- Platinum Album
      FACT- Pregnant
      FACT- still performs circles around 98% of the industry… and the other 2% she performs just as well as…

  26. Sparticus

    Beyonce has already accomplished a lot in the music industry. She really doesn’t need to prove anything else. Everyone on here can accomplish great things just do what your PASSIONATE about.

    • Marles

      So now she can just be lazy, uncreative, unoriginal, and release “inspired” works that have already been done before? I see. I miss Dangerlously In Love Beyonce. Hell, even Sasha Fierce in some instances. She’s not even trying, anymore.

  27. 510510

    Can Beyonce’s stans ever admit when her songs/videos suck? *Yawn*

    • DAFINESTGRL

      I am a beyonce Stan to the fullest she can do NO wwrong in my eyes HOWEVER I WILL ADMIT THIS VIDEO IS…..plain jane! lol….but at the same time it is kind of refreshing to NOT see a woman gyrating practically naked all over the screen all the time. and I do like the fact that she tries to do things different instead of always doing the same darn thing.I AM PISSED THAT SHE OMITTED THE SECOND VERSE!!! LIKE WTH BEY! but anyways the ony video off this album that I liked was Girls!(who run the world) ALL THE OTHER VIDEOS WERE BOOOORING!! I know she better not mess up “PARTY” CUZ DAZ MY JAM!!

    • Marles

      Lol. You don’t sound like much of a stan, DAFINESTGRL. Just someone who can watch and listen to an artist she likes and can give an honest critique of them and admit when they are not doing their best, all without bashing them. This is what normal people do. Stans seem like senseless followers who defend anything and everything said artist/entertainer does, good and especially bad. That makes no sense to me.

  28. Dao

    New Edition had much smoother and agile moves than this, so that leads me to believe she WASN’T inspired by NE.

    Side note- props to wardrobe b/c the girls were bouncing hard but stayed inside the jacket! LOL

  29. voo

    I like the song it makes me want to dance, but I feel like I’ve heard it from back in the day. And I wasn’t getting her outfit in the beginning either, and most of the song was just repeated lyrics… but it’s the best song I’ve heard her come out with so far, hopefully she will continue to progress.

  30. Honey.

    I’m just sitting back, drinking my tea & reading these comments, laughing at most of you who are pissed that you can’t look that sexy in just a pair of sneakers.

    I don’t like her videos usually but you have to admit, for such a plain video, you’re never bored & this girl keeps your eyes glued to her at all times.

  31. Shay

    “cut” SHE DIRECTING NOW LOL STILL LOVES HER THOUGH -JUST STOP STEALING B THAT ALL!

    • TryOne

      Ummm, actually she has been directing since her “Ego” video if you didn’t know & it’s not stealing, every single artist draws inspiration from another artist #stopit I don’t see anyone trying to crucify Usher or Chris Brown for “stealing” Michael Jackson’s swagger. So that’s what it is.

    • Marles

      I think people’s issue with Beyonce’s “inspirations” is that she’ll often take a concept from a modern artist (normally one from overseas) and pass their work off as her own, only admitting she was inspired onced called out for stealing by the artist themselves. There’s a BIG difference.

  32. kiki

    she’s defo in love, nice video.

  33. eluayfgbcxnksuyfgekw

    Sounds like something her sister would sing.

  34. Miss Fancye

    I think she looks beautiful but I am starting to get annoyed with this ‘inspired’ roll she’s on with music videos and I was disappointed in the minute less track length. Check my blog “I’m Just Saying” for my full review on this video! http://wp.me/p1JLVp-qY

  35. blah

    i dont like the end when she says cut. doesnt add anything.

  36. andrea W.

    some people are a legend in their own mind. she’s brain washed as I’m concerned. One minute you singing about being independent and don’t need a man, now you act like you’ll DIE if this man leaves you. If she thinks theirs no one else out here better than J then that means she’s made him out of a God.

  37. Fenise

    Im going to need for her to sit down and be pregnant

  38. bebe

    tout simplement beau, tu es vraiment la meilleure ma chérie, gros bisouxxx à toi king b

  39. thickems

    She better whoop !
    Love the song !

  40. I LOVE THIS GAME

    WHY IS CLOOP , NOT LETTING PPL SAY THE TRUTH ABOUT BEYONCE FAKE ASS !!!

    BEYONCE IS A JOKE , AND A HOT MESS !!!

  41. TryOne

    Got damn it’s so many fans of Beyonce because you obviously can’t be a hater if you’re checking on everything she is doing and taking time to watch her video, boost her views and comment. You all must love her lol you’re just scared to show it huh? Still it’s NOBODY touching B, fix ya face hatersssssssss!

    • lyric

      ^^^^ Totally agree with you… they hate but yet they’re still checking for her next move… The haters are more stans than the stans lmao…

  42. Tee

    I fucking love it!
    I know New Edition is propbably loving it also.
    I don’t why Bey gets so much bad press from people like the ones who always have negative things to say but the people who are actually in the music industry adore her. If they not hating on her then why are you? Oh okay just a out spoken thought.
    It’s disrespectful to call someone a thieve when their intentions were completely different, and I’m not saying her intentions were good…I’m just saying we don’t truly know her so we don’t know what they are.
    Come down on her management team for not giving her the best route to take when it comes to honoring someones work. Cause im sure Bey doesnt look forward to this at all. She’s an artist not a lawyer, maybe she should hire a new team of people. She’s doing her job, entertaining her fans…and I as a fan am very entertained so her job is done. Even if I didn’t like her I would still have to respect her and keep my negative thoughts to myself cuz no one is paying for my opinion. I dislike Ashanti as a artist 50% of the time but you will NOT find me taking time out of my day to express how I feel about her. Pretty tho, that’s all she’ll get from me. But if your getting money from posting negative thought……get money!

  43. TB

    Damn I loved the first half of the video, Bey should rock sneaks more often. She’s never really gone for the laid back look or sneakers for that matter. looks sexy. Swag on it’s own.

    I’ve noticed Bey is not taken things seriously this time, She’s kinda having fun, not to serious, going with the flow. keep it up!

  44. OVERYOURHEADS

    suprised. actually like this video. i just she would have came out the gate when the album dropped to say she was in going for an inspired theme (not sure she has enough sense to articulate it that way though). Then she wouldn’t have the distraction of people calling her a COPY CAT. Nonetheless, video is well done.

  45. Sassy

    This is Bey’s best video from this album so far. She looks natural and cute. I used to love New Edition back in the day too.

  46. MS Dee

    I love how her videos are always “inspired”….looking like copying to me….

  47. BRE MUSIC MAH LOVE

    I COULD HAVE SWORN I SAW FONZWORTH BENTLEY CORNY ASS IN DA VIDEO

  48. Diamond Latrelle

    The video was decent and the song was nice.

  49. Duh

    It’s cute and simple, which serves the song well. I just loved her performance at the VMAS. She looked absolutely amazing and the end when she dropped the mic and opened her jacket, priceless. She should have just released the performance as the video instead.

  50. The Hater

    Mimic doesn’t have a creative bone in her body. She is just a glorified puppet. Wind her up and watch her imitate others.
    Well, at least she is a well paid thief.

  51. Whisper

    When people do the unexpected…it will either be perceived as Genius or Lack Luster ESPECIALLY!! When it’s simple in concept. BUT at the end,The creator,innovator,translator (BEYONCE) has to be satisfied with her work and its results. So us loving or hating the music or video are only a mere shadow of whats going on here….

  52. Dino

    Get ready for a slew of remixes for this one…

  53. DEEDEE

    Cute video!! I love its simplicity…by the way are all those background dancers, Michael Jackson’s former dancers? I noticed Chris, he was on Making the Band too.

  54. hotrod

    Hell ya’ll act like ur sleeping with Beyounce. Damn ya’ll cheerlead harder than Kelly. Im sick of this overrated chick trying to steal a sung and damn now a dance. Spare me already- jockin her ass like she is paying ya’ll. Not a hater unlike many of u I got my own life so I don’t have to live through a celebrity!

  55. Wedding invites

    Just what exactly youre just saying seemingly genuine. I am aware of which everyone have to say exactly the same thing, although I merely believe that most people use it in a way that anyone may figure out. DOCUMENT as well love this illustrations or photos you actually put in place listed here. They fit thus very well using what youre looking to point out. Internet marketing confident youll attain more and more in doing what youve reached say.
