aed05 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 She's doing too much. Do girls run the world literally? NO. But anybody with common sense knows that. What I think Beyonce's song is implying is that women are strong, capable and intelligent. Hence, the shout out to female college grads, working mothers and business women. A better title for the song would have "We can run the world", then the hard work implied in the lyrics would have been seen as working towards an ultimate goal yet achieved. Better lyrics would have helped the song period. I think the young lady in the above video analyzed women's place in society and compared it to the context of the song to show the contrast of pop song idealism, and reality. That was good, but she could have at least given beyonce credit for attempting to highlight the achievements of women through song. Instead she just attacked bey and kinda tried to drag her. There is nothing Feminist about one women attacking the positive efforts of another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 She makes many good points. The only people that have a problem with this video are the Beyaki stans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlight Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm mad she was like..."Name the only minority American group that consitutes the majority of the population (Girls)" :lmao: But anyway, yea... she was doing too much. She took it way too literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 i didn't watch the video tho.. i don't endorse extremists with nothing other to do but analyze a song that Beyonce, of all people, made... that's like analyzing Weird Al's songs...or MJ's children songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaldwin Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Clearly, this young lady should have read the principle language in the International Beyonce Stan Law, which was passed after a cease-fire was obtained by B. Stans during the height of the great Beyonce/Rihanna War of 2009: Absolutely no critical engagement of anything Beyonce says or does will be tolerated. Attempts by lesser parties to criticize or otherwise cast shadow on the absolute perfection that is Beyonce will be met with intense sarcasm, ridicule, shade, pseudo-intellectualism, insult, derision as well "epic fail" and "girl sit down" hash tags, and gifs illustrating said shady responses. Beyonce stans reserve the right to regard any anti-Beyonce viewpoint as illegitimate and any viewpoint that supports Beyonce as fact and law. Anyone who does not absolutely bow down to the greatness that is Beyonce will be regarded as an enemy of the state. This law will be enforced by the shadiest of shady fem queens, ball mothers, Internet DL thugs, and other fierce homosexuals of color who feel it is their Beysus-given right to honor and protect the House of Dereon above all others, so help them Tina Knowles. Had she read it, perhaps she wouldn't have made the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil. Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Oops...guess its too late to delete. But anyway....is this inspiration or thievery? If any other artist did this would your decision be any different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 It's inspiration. And my stance would be the same regardless of the artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedElegance™ Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Can you understand the perspective of anyone outraged by the lack of originality behind the concept of her performance? Outraged? Absolutely not. Had Beyoncé claimed the concept was her idea, then yes, that's a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 maybe Beyonce was asked to incorporate it into her performance who the fuk knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil. Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Had Beyonce seen the previous performance, would she have changed the concept behind her own? Does this situation parallel Michael Jackson with the Moonwalk, Elvis with Rock music and/or Janet Jackson with the military styled choreography to Rhythm Nation?

XYZ Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 maybe the creators paid her to use their product for publicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
