a song i couldn’t STAND last week:
- beyonce’s “single ladies” (put a ring on it)
a video i LOVE right now:
- beyonce’s “single ladies” (put a ring on it)
some people are hating on it because it’s just her and two backup dancers on an empty white set, dancing in leotards. Most people love it because it’s just her and two backup dancers on an empty white set, dancing in leotards. But as I explained to a friend a couple days ago, the video is amazing because, frankly, Beyonce can do whatever the hell she wants. This video probably cost a grand total of $37 and the costumes somewhere around $150, along with about 10 hours of dance rehearsal MAX, and B has managed to turn a super-shitty song into a seriously catchy tune that makes you want to not only learn the dance, but do it at parties with your friends, even though you won’t, because you’re way too cool for that and so are they.
Unfortunately (but rather strategically, I’m sure), this song/video came out right before Halloween, which means girl and queen trios across America are going as the Single Ladies, and many a weave will be sacrificed during the fights that ensue over who gets to play Beyonce.
beyonce, you slick genius bitch, i hate you (i love you). Die (I want to be you).
watch this shit on mute. this bitch has officially convinced me to find jay, kill him and put a ring on it.
after this video i fell in love with her all over again. if jay hadn’t put a ring on it, i would have.
I HATE THIS SONG TOO!!!! but love this blog;)
Too bad B can’t dance. She’d be a legend if she did more than that whoop-whoop thigh shake shiite all the time. Well she wouldn’t be a legend but she’d be more than ham hocks and a weave if she could dance like J-Lo.
Ironically, I love this song and hate this blog. I keed, I keed. I love this blog too. It introduced me to Egyptian Lover.
I have been having long-winded, circular conversations about Beyonce and how it is so unfair that she can release mediocrity, create a video and then all of a sudden change the quality.
Not to mention the contribution to the popular vernacular, throwing around phrases like ‘Girl, he should’ve put a ring on it’
I can feel the pending chanting/dancing in the club.
Why put a ring on Beyonce when you can pick up one of the a-alike backup dancers for the cheap?
YOU are funny as hell! And also so right. i so despised the song thinking that it sounded like a song off her last album..my mom says this song only has 5 words and hates it, but I saw the video and did not blink the entire time. SHit, Beyonce–you’ve done it again!
I would like the song if it went “If you LOVE it, then you should’ve put a ring on it”.
If I just like it, you may not even get a date, let alone a ring.
The video is like Kanye’s tour…makes you focus all of your attention on the artist. Beyonce’s lower body is spectabulous
girl u kill me. this biotch is FABULOUS! Love her love her lover. I’m the original B, but hey she beat me to it!! LOL! And ur so right, imma learn the hell out the dance, tape it and put it on youtube… u know i will too!!
hugz.
But it’s so true.
Don’t forget the many of guys that can’t wait to break it down at 00:50s.
YES! Bey!
