Beyonce - 4

i love how at the climax of 'dance for you' she sings how "no money can emphasise or describe the love" she has and then immediately follows it with how it is "beyond sex" as if those two things are inextricably linked in her mind. well she's always equated the two but her love for jay has caused the financial vocabulary that exists as the basic language for how she views & interacts with the world to break down, and that's really the ultimate complement she can give him. after a whole album of trying to describe her love for him in various different ways, she's just left awed; it works as the ultimate climax to end the deluxe album with.

Not really getting the love for Dance For You

it's one of the best ballads terius has written and it's sung by someone who's a way better vocalist & on top of her game

just 'got it 4 u'

OMG SHE IS PREGNANT

what

why was my first thought on hearing this news "BUT YOU HAVEN'T RELEASED COUNTDOWN YET"

Because you are a selfish music fan? *shrugs*

When I heard the news I thought, "Oh well there goes that tour." :(

Honestly, I was not at all surprised that the VMAs was where they made the announcement. It's B and Jay, you know? They're so over the top ridiculous/wonderful that an awards show just seems like the natural place to do so. Can you picture them just making an announcement in the Times or Us Magazine or something?

no. it was definitely the only way to go.

do you think she planned the conception with this timing in mind?

I rather be of the illusion that she acted "human" in this instance, and the conception wasn't a "career move."

Like everything in her career, I feel she's probably planned the date of this since she was 6.

i imagine she wouldn't have planned a pregnancy right in the middle of an album cycle/tour (although knowing her she's probably shot the next 3 videos already). anyway doesn't really matter, the performance last night was so jaw-droppingly great that the belly reveal at the end was just this perfect little moment of joy to top it all off.

"Love on Top" debuted in the top twenty this week.

man, I love love love LOVE "End of Time"

yeah

<3 this woman http://www.mtv.com/videos/beyonce/698826/countdown.jhtml#id=1518071

oh man that's so great

ehhh video but thank god this album finally has a good single

Oh no, I am so totally enamored of this video it's ridiculous.

yeah it's perfect. i am not usually super into videos but it kinda really pops & seems so of itself. i was playing this song recently & remembered how fragmented and disjunctive it had sounded when i first heard it, compared to now, now i know it back to front. i wondered if it was somehow like a neat analogy for like, hyperactive consumption, in the way it's so all over the place but urgent and compelling for every second of it.

so distinct

wooooooooooooooooooooow

that was amazing!

wau

i looked up right after i finished watching it on my headphones, and my boyfriend was watching it on his laptop right across the room

video feels refreshed

kinda getting a 'sledgehammer' vibe about it actually

lol no one ever talked about her "best thing i never had" video

very cool video, it's like if solange had recorded a hit

i think i just love the song so much and spent so much time thinking about how great the video would be that i can't help but be overwhelmed -- also have never really been into retro fashion beyonce nor wacky facial expressions beyonce

overwhelmed=underwhelmed

i like the fosse fingers deadpan facial expression

the fingers part was cool

<3 the video. her face! perfect for this song

maybe a tooooouuuuuuch static on the BOOF BOOF bits but that's a minor quibble

also, still such an incredible song, nowhere near sick of it

at one point i kept thinking she looked like ciara, at another point like naomi campbell

her hair is great black, also

this video is basically a sequence of gifs, right?

haha otm

So was "Run the World," tbf.

new video is wayyy too A.D.D. for me.. it was on tv first thing when i woke up and i just wasn't ready for that...

this video is basically a sequence of gifs, right?
