Its great.I liked it.Now this is the Beyonce that I actually like.It reminded me of the good ol days of Get Me Bodied, Deja Vu and Naughty Girl when I used to love her.But shell most probably say/do something thats going to turn me off again soon
Anyway, I liked the video, it was very creative and even though the budget was obviously low, she still worked it It even made that song grow on me a little bit (Start Over remains my favorite, though)

Not seeing any Gaga elements, either.
I kind of half like the video, half don't. The abstract, bright retro shots look great...but wasn't a fan of the non-studio scenes. Don't think they harmonised well. Looked like two videos thrown together with completely different styles. Might have worked better if they went for a behind-the-scenes look, with Beyonce in these highly stylised shoots and then showing all the dancing etc. on set around? Don't think the focus effect worked either. WDYLM did it better. |

That video is HOT! I love it so much, the dancing, the costumes, the colours everything! Still see an element of Green Light and Deja Vu here and there. I love her with that short hair she had in the silver dress - she really suits that! Easily my favorite video of this era so far.

She looks better with dark hair. it reminds me of the green light video. The video is good and she looks really great although the video looks like a fitness dvd.

I love the video
It was like countdown down the different decades of music. I loved the casual looks, simple but effective. Really different to what she has ever done. Great video and she looks HOT |

The crazy dancing at the end is hilarious with the swinging of the arm

It's a good video. I can't say I'm as blown away by it as some seem... but yeah it's a good video. I've gone off the song a little (overplayed it!) and much prefer End of Time but I hope it does well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=3HaWxhbhH4c TOTAL rip-off.There is nothing that she didn't copy.NOTHING!!Isn't this girl clever enough to at least mix the stolen elements with something esle to make the video look original??Disappointed in her AGAIN, because I actually loved the video, as I said in my original post. |

I think this whole video was intended to be a tribute to past music and fashion though. I doubt anyone is saying "Oh Lord, she ripped off Audrey Hepburn!", the fact that everyone does aside. |

Well, the first part is a complete rip-off. Not sure about the dancing clips though, they seem a bit contrived. But I definitely agree with that first clip.

The whole video is made up of a lot of different references to different music icons from the 60s-80s. If you're gonna complain about copying then you've missed the entire point of the video... Maybe this article will clarify things: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/167...eo-shoot.jhtml |

I get where you're coming from.The Audrey Hepburn scenes were a tribute.She was CHANNELING Audrey Hepburn.The scenes that the 30-second clip I posted showcase are just TOO much imo.For Audrey she did a great job at capturing some of the elements of her presence and her style, but with Anne Teresa she was just taking the exact same thing she did without changing it up.It could have been great to see her taking what Anne Teresa did and incorporate it to the video and make it creative, but her "homage" was just a re-creation.If that's her way, then it's cool, but I personally didn't like the fact that she took the scenes and completely copied them to make her whole video.I don't think she's going to be sued for plagiarism obviously (of course not

But the Westside Story part is 'copied', the Audrey Hepburn part is 'copied', the Diana Ross part is 'copied', the 'Funny Girl' parts are all 'copied'... But if you have a problem with that, you're missing the point... Oh, I can't be bothered, it's fundamental to the actual reason the video is good rather than bad. If you don't like it, then you don't like it.
