  • I Love it. it’s something every female can relate to

  • aw man b…Yahoo took off the video ) :

  • This video isn’t even supposed to be out till Monday, but way to get it B.Scott! The video is one of her best, and I hope people appreciate it for what it is. I don’t know, but I think the B fight (Beyonce vs. Britney) will be tough but I think Beyonce will take it. I mean, Womanizer is catchy, but she that isn’t singing, and the dancing is horrible.

    Get ‘em, B!

  • oh yeah..i like the song much more now that i saw the video to it. i like the concept. good job B!

  • I think that this might be the best video beyonce has done thus far. I like that it told a story and was like a movie. Just wait until the Single Ladies video. Britney’s womanizer is getting outshined by the Queen B this week.

  • oh boy…let the competition begin…Britney vs. Beyonce…*sighs*

    This will be interesting…because Britney did Britney…classic Brit. Beyonce on the other hand…she made a serious departure from what everyone is used too…I really really hope people just appreciate it and accept it…B is moving on.

    and B Scott..you still havent given your thoughts on her new music and now the vid. We are interested :)

  • Omg B I was sooo in tears by the end of that video. I knew thats how it was going to play out but I didnt want it to end. I felt like I was watching a movie.

  • Britney’s Video Is Better

  • This was an EPIC video. Love the part where they’re in the house and Beyonce is like “It’s not like I’m sleeping with the guy.”

    GENIUS!

  • the video is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow i love it, but i’ll prolly love britney’s just as much (if not more)

  • omg i didnt even see the britneys video down there!! gonna check ito ut now

    daiwhioah3it3e

  • I love Beyonce, and I love the hell out of this song, now how about I adore the hell out this song thanks to this video, this is why Beyonce is the Queen and she shuts those other females down!!!

  • overall the video is lovely ! I love it. but the song I just can’t get into the words and the whole feel.

  • BORING SONG, BORING VIDEO…I THINK BEYONCE IS OVER… BRITNEY’S IS BETTER

  • Oh now this i like. The song makes much more sense and they really nailed the concept. It really helps the song a great deal!

  • Beyonce is by far the most talented women in the game, Brit did do Brit and I cant lie I love the girl, But Beyonce gave us so much more. I mean how genius are the singles she is putting out at the same time,she still giving us the B we love but we are also getting this somewhat new side of our queen

  • omg still the baddest bitch…. WOW..

  • I just watched it amazing video Bee did something totally out the box and it came across beautifully way to go bee. Now bring on Singles Ladies so I can dance LOL

  • I like it. Queen Bey is back. I like the song more now since the video’s out. It was cool seeing her act and not sing yay!

    YAWWWWWWWWWN. For real. Beyonce is OVER rated.

  • OH WOW.

    B DONE DID IT AGAIN.

    Hands down,the best video to date for Mrs. Carter.

    Haters…GET READY, the Queen B is BACK!!!

  • Wow, I really felt that! Last night I was so impressed with Britney’s vid and now Bey’ had to go and almost make me tear up! I am so loving this video and song!

  • Man, that was really good…I love Beyonce.

  • I agree, the video made me love the song. This is definitely Bee’s best video yet. I don’t even have the words to describe how good it is.

  • ok, ok, ok. I said I hated it the other day. Probably cuz this isn’t what I was expectin from B.

    Now that I’ve listened and watched the video, LOVE IT!!!

  • I like the song even more now.

  • This was beautiful. GO B!!!!!!

  • As if the song alone was not enough, the video just compliments the song even better!! I’m speechless…B just keeps raising the bar. It’s a wrap

  • i get it, but i still don’t like it. sorry

  • That was an amazing video! Definitely video of the year contender

  • Omg this video has me in tears since I can relate.
    Job well done Beyonce

  • not a huge fan but loving the video, not a fan of the song but the video works with it and i can appreciate that!

  • this video was fantastic. i’m rather impressed. i wasn’t anticipating for the video to be as great as it is. awesome job B and Jake Nava.

  • I love this video!
    Good Job B!

  • the queen is bakk!!!

  • wOw! Incredible. That’s all. InCreDible!

  • Booooo! This song is horrible, but at least she has a concept for this video and isn’t just shaking her ass!

  • LOVE IT!!! GO BEYONCE!!!

  • black on both sides

    LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE it! And Bey about to snatch Britney’s hair plugs out & feed them to Ciara, bwhahahahahahahah

  • that video was awesome- i now love the song too!
    beyonce always get me in the end ;)

  • I LOve Love Love LOve LOve this song and video to me its the best that i’ve seen so far! and to me its better then britanys video it was something that i expected from her. eventhough i love her song to i wish that she could of danced more in it. But I totally love BEyonce’s song and video

  • Bey’s best video to date…….I’m so surpised.

  • Beautiful song! And the video is great!

  • Nice video concept but I don’t like the song at all. Two thumbs down.

  • Awesome video… every woman can relate to this song and video in one way or another!! Beyonce has done it again.

    I’m not a Britney fan, she cannot sing plain and simple. I don’t get all the hype over her.. I really don’t!

  • I still don’t like the song…..it sounds country song to slow pace… and frankly depressing story line. I like the fact she tired to do something different in the video…she gets points on that. But overall it came out boring and it didn’t excite me to buy the album so far with the 2 songs release. Bee got to come better then these two singles. When Irreplaceable came out… I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT FROM THE JUMP. DIL.. fell in love….CIL fell in love…Flaws and All…plain beautiful. Green Light…. my jam!

    But this…it has not grown on me. I feel like switching the channel on the radio or skipping the song on the cd. This song as well as Single ladies….sound done before and nothing new. Single ladies sound like GMB, CIL and Check on it roll into one. It been done before by Bee frankly nothing new. I mean Solange new album came out refreshing and new. The If I was a Boy video showed she switch roles for a day..but in the end of the day…when they switch roles back…Bee stood there sippin her coffee cup and he walk out of the door. I mean where is the part she leaves him? curse him out?…that what was missing to me in the video….it left the ending pointless….and if she did that she would of won me over with the song. To show if I was a boy I can do this…but since I am a girl… I can leave you with your nonsense….but instead the video came off…too wishy washy to me. It didn’t give the umph of female empowerment to me which Beyonce preaches on. It just show men…. this is what women think you do and beyonce had a chance to run around in a cop uniform. I was not moved.

  • The video is alright but her acting in it wasn’t that good. I am sure it will be a hit just cause it is beyonce. Still like BC Jeans version better.

  • When I read the title of the song I wasn’t feeling it.
    After watching the video, I LOVE IT!
    The video and the song come together perfectly.

    B has grown up, I’m so proud :-)

  • yay ! bey bey i defitnatley give my sheroe a round of a plause that was amazing ..wow defitnatley can relate for real for real… that sure does deserve 2 snaps up and a z-formation !

  • As Prince would say “One word… BEYONCE!” Lol. This video kept me glued to my computer screen. She’s gonna be legendary. I’m so glad that real music is back out. for a minute there was nothing good I could listen to. As a performer myself my taste in music is way more picky then the average but I have to say I’m so happy to have Beyonce, Britney, & Ciara back!

  • OMG I love it, everyone that has ever felts unappreciated can relate to this guys and girls alike………………….good job Bey!!

  • i love this, and now i love the song even more.

  • Omg…I love this song…I almost cried. I dont know why…I guess I could understand it so much.

  • Well I put my foot in my mouth! Obviously I won’t doubt this chic ever again! LOVE the video and because I expected to hate it…while watching it, it touched me and bought back a bad memory…lol@me!

    Go Beyonce!!!

  • Well, I find the song and video to be very sexist.

    It is a well performed song and well-shot video though.

  • beyonce:
    ii loved the song, since ii heard it, && since ii’ve seen the video ii have loved it even more. ii haven’t seen the whole thing, but ii can’t wait.
    beyonce has taken something so common, like the double standard, && has COMPLETELY reciprocated it, to make it this THUNDER STORM.

    ii didn’t know that jake nava directed this, && ever since he was wit her from day 1, ii said, “when ii get famous, ii want him directing my shit,” && ii still mean it.

    those 2 are great together.

  • all i can say is wow! This video was literally her best…i felt this…especially at the end when she said it’s not like i’m sleepin with anyone…she was trying to sell the story if the tables were turned…wow!!!! beyonce never ceases to amaze me…she’s truly and artist! she’s goin down in history…that i know.

  • I love this video.

  • I am not a Beyonce fan and really did not want to like this song of video. Because the words and sentiments hit home, I have no choice.

    I doubt I’ll be downloading the music, but this really isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

  • BEYONCE BRILLIANT SONG AND VIDEO!!!!

    VIDEO OF THE YEAR!!!!! HELL WITH BRITNEY SPEARS GARBAGE VIDEO….IT WREEEEECKS!!! GO BEY!!!!

  • I have to admit at first look, I like this video alot. I like the concept and she looks very beautiful. I am not fond of her version of the song, but the music & the vid are a beautiful combination.

  • this video is genius. I love it.

  • Good video but the song still sucks hard.

  • video is cool..but not feeling the song

  • Outchhhhhhhhh who dares compares beyonce to britnesy spears? britney cant sing, beyonce is an icon, a legend, that song is da BOMBBBB. The video is amazing

  • i dont like the song
    i prefer solange music its better than this ish

    britney video was hot but not hottest of the year

  • i lvoe that she departed from shaking her ass in a minidress and throwing hair.

    oh wait a minute- she IS doing that in her NEW video

    how is she brilliant when you know in an interview she can’t spell mgm ??
    she needs direction!!!!

  • I love it!

    She is amazing in this video.

    She did a great job. Welcome back B! So much growth as an artist. Bringing new material that you wouldn’t expect from her.

    I thought brit did good too. However, she came back as Classic Britney. No growth, just a change of wigs. But still, good for her glad to see she’s ok.

    Beyonce wins hands down! That’s why they call her Queen B!

  • Okay, I never leave comments, but that video was HOTT!! I remember when I was younger and couldn’t wait to get home just to sit in front of the T.V. and watch MTV music video’s until dinner. That’s the feeling I had watching Beyonce’s video. It was so elegant and honest. I love how she pushes the envelope everytime around. WOW is all I can really muster….WOW!! BEAUTIFUL!! EXCELLENT!!

  • This is the video of the year hands down go beyonce

  • BEYONCE IS JUST THE BEST INTERNATIONAL FEMALE ARTIST RIGHT NOW!SHE’S LIKE THE NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON!!SHE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE QUEEN!!

    I LOVE BRITNEY TO BUT HER SONGS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS I LIKE BEYONCES!!STILL GOTTA GIVE LOVE TO BRITNEY!!SPECIALY HOW SHE WENT THREW A TRAGIC TIME IN HER CARRER!!LIKE I MEAN EVRYONE HAS A DOWN TIME PART IN THERE CARRER RIGHT??

    AND ALSO I THINK THESE TWO TALENTED GIRLS SHOULDN’T BE COMPERED!!:)

    BUT GO BEYONCE!!CAN’T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!
    YOUR MI QUEEN!!

  • LOVE the vid.
    She’s an dynamic woman and performer!
    F.Y.I. If she were a COP….lol

  • Does anyone seem to be interested in the serious message behind these two pop songs “If I were a Boy” and “Womaniser”?
    That’s what I like about these two songs.

    They songs are supposed to be light-hearted pop songs but actually they are a serious social commentary on relations between men and women today. Someone smart must be behind the singers…men, probably.
