Beyoncé, whose much anticipated video for “Run The World (Girls)” is finally here, finally. The single, lifted from Beyoncé’s forthcoming album entitled 4, was directed by Francis Lawrence (GaGa’s “Bad Romance”.) This 4 era of Beyonce did not have a rocket start like her contemporaries due to the single underwhelming the masses… So the question is, does the video enhance the single?
Ummm, yes or no cannot be said so easily. In a few words, the video is great. You see, that wild and demon posessed-like choreography is an attraction to us. I mean mama had us laughing when she started convulsing at the shoulders. Beyoncé even does the stanky leg… she just pumps so hard. This choreography following the shoulder to do reminds us of THIS. Man we love Bey for it, she is just so funky. Okay, so the choreography is an A+ but what about the rest.
Hyenas on a leash, a blurred out middle finger, some crazy pieces from the prominent fashion houses, Bey riding a horse and a car explosion are the other high points of the video. Not saying much but it does come together for the song. So the answer to the question is, the video is solid BUT they help each other as neither of them can stand on its own. Also, it was cool how the two dancers were dressed in African and revolutionary attire but were rockin’ those Converse. Watch after…
