Beyonce - "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies" - The Videos

Thursday October 16, 2008

Last week Beyonce released 2 hot new singles, the thought-provoking ballad "If I Were a Boy," and the independent minded, uptempo "Single Ladies." This week she follows with the videos. Both are shot in classy black and white. "If I Were a Boy" has a dramatic spoken word interlude to drive home the point of the song. "Single Ladies" includes dancing inspired by the legendary Bob Fosse. Watch the videos, and let us know what you think.

Well, Singles Ladies is nice for us single women that just want to ditch our man for some weekend fun with the ladies at the club dancing and enjoying life. Thank you Beyonce.

If I were a “boy” becuase lawd know a good man wouldn’t do that mess. The song is essential to Beyonce’s true diversity as a singer. The video is just top notch.

Thanks for sharing.

If Beyonce were a boy then:
1. She would be more laid back.
2. She would stop being such a whinger.
3. She would stop projecting all of her own insecurities onto others.
4. She would stop assuming that people should behave they way she wants them to.
5. She would put up or shut up and leave someone if they were doing things she didn’t like.
If she were a boy she would shred all the pathetic weakness and get on with things instead of being a crybaby.
What a pathetic song.
