her song "girls" is literally trash. But I bet you anything her hubby will come to the secure by paying radio stations to play her singles.

I'm sure she can do that herself....

I'm surprised people are so divided. I love this song - it's going to be on my mp3 player for a looong time.

perhaps because the beat is about 2 years old from Major Lazer, and she is barely saying anything besides WHo run the world and girls
I know she can do better songwise and she has imo.


the video was visually appealing though I will admit

 

[MyNameIs]

Yeah, the video definitely had some great imagery. I loved the shot of her with the hyenas. But I kinda got bored by the end of it. I mean, it was really repetitive and other than some great fashion the second half of the video didn't have much else to offer. That frolicking, doing who knows what in the sand, upside down cracked me up, lol.

Also, the song is still awful.

Beyonce is doing a tame version of a Gaga video.
I mean:
high fashion designer clothes. check.
stupid video concept. check.
mediocre song at best. check.


but it's Beyonce, so I'm certain I will still end up buying her cd when it drops because I have that much faith in her

Beyonce Surprises Oprah at 'Farewell Spectacular'

Beyonce performs her hit single, “Run the World (Girls),” on Tuesday (May 17) at the United Center in Chicago, Ill.

The 29-year-old entertainer got the crowd dancing while taping an appearance on Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular, which will air May 23 and 24.

Also coming out to support Oprah as she wrapped up 25 seasons of The Oprah Winfrey Show: Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes (who introduced country group Rascal Flatts), Madonna, Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jerry Seinfeld, Jamie Foxx, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Kristin Chenoweth!

John Legend spoke live from New Orleans and announced 25 new school libraries will be built around the country by Target in honor of Oprah, while Diane Sawyer revealed 25,000 trees will be planted in her honor as well.

Also attending the star-studded event: Maria Shriver - whose husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, earlier in the day admitted he fathered a child with a former member of their household staff - and Oprah’s longtime partner, Stedman Graham, who brought O to tears!

Beyonce: 'Run the World (Girls)' Video Premiere!

Check out the video for Beyonce’s latest single, “Run the World (Girls)“!

The 29-year-old entertainer fights off the enemy in style, rocking couture by Givenchy and Norma Kamali in the Francis Lawrence-directed video.

“[The song is] definitely riskier than something a bit more … simple,” Beyonce recently told Billboard.com about the song, which is off her upcoming album, 4.

“I just heard the track and loved that it was so different. It felt a bit African, a bit electronic and futuristic. It reminded me of what I love, which is mixing different cultures and eras - things that typically don’t go together - to create a new sound,” she shared.

In case you missed it, check out JustJared.com’s exclusive preview of 4!

The video… wasn’t anything too exciting. The only thing great about the video was the fact that she looked amazing in her costumes. The choreography was fine but I still hate her song. Too much tempo, she's screaming - that's all!
Since "Dangerously In Love" and Destiny's Child her music is not the same. I miss the old Beyonce .

that is such a hot cover(?) it looks like it could be a magazine cover

 

[MyNameIs]

^It could be a magazine cover, but as an album cover it's underwhelming, to say the least. This is turning out to be NOT Beyonce era at all. She has yet to get anything right.

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

Disappointed in how the poorly the video was directed. The album cover isn't anything special either.

 

[lady B]

This video is amazing.The clothing,the attitude,the dancing.I love everything and that song is my new jam.But that album cover is a no no.

 

[CommanderTMugler]

We know she can do everything "right" by pop standards yet she's choosing not to do so and being unapologetic about it.

And the fashion as well, she knows what Haute Couture means and she doesn't care, she's getting that JPG outfit wet, she's getting that delicate Givenchy HC dress dirty with sand, She ripped that yellow Pucci dress, she's using combat boots with the green Pucci as opposed to "pretty" heels that can compliment it.... I love it!

 

[Ives927]

I have to say this is not looking like it's going to be a great era for Beyonce. Terrible song and video.

When did she become such a fashion diva? I loved everything she wore, but it was so incoherent. Givenchy, McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Pucci, Gaultier. They didn't go well together and it all seemed too random to me. It came off as if she just wanted to wear the best dresses and that's it.

I agree, that's why I compared her to a tame Gaga. Gaga at least has the balls to go all the way crazy and not care whether people love her or hate her. Unfortunately it seems like Beyonce has an image to sell and uphold so it comes across as a little fake because she's not going all the way.

I'm hopeful that her second single will be better
