Melina is probably the best thing to happen to Urban Videos in a while. I'm going to assume every Beyonce video from this album will be in Black & White.kalstark, December 24, 2008 10:00:32 PM CET
Pretty good video but perhaps I'm just bitter... I've lost jobs to Melina one too many times I think. ;)K

Appreciate it while it lasts lol. Antville will love you one day and hate you the next. mainchara, December 25, 2008 5:47:20 PM CET
This was pretty cool. Loved the semi-long shot that introduced B and the other two girls. A milli anyone?

Track was produced by Bangladesh and clearly features the a milli snares and song structure. Song is visceral and hard, video is bland.

Diva fail.I don't think this video paints Beyonce as a diva at all. I agree with Lusk that this is a bland video. The choreography is lacking.

nah, I don't think I wanna see anymore videos painting anyone as a Diva...I can see the video you're talking about... the "ferociousness" of it all...and that's why I'm glad that that predictability was left out of this video.in my opinion, this video's raw and simple look contrasted with the track's subject matter works pretty well, they compliment each other. I don't know, it just ends up being kinda quirky in the end...as it looks a little like an early 90's grunge video or something.
