If this is how Beyoncé runs the world, count me out
Really, for a hot mess of a song, what more could you expect than a hot mess of a video?
For "Run The World (Girls)", Beyoncé leads an army of couture-clad ladies in a rebellion against the oppressive male regime. She's like the Che Guevara of dance!
Directed by Francis Lawrence, who's probably best known for Gaga's "Bad Romance", Beyoncé seems to be trying her hand at epic videos. Yet, for a video so epic, it's so simple. All it does is focus on the chreography. Which is stellar, don't get me wrong. I mean, girl balances on the heels of her stilettos, for cryin' in the kitchen sink.
But, for a video that's a statement about being a strong female, the best she could come up with is dancing in skimpy designer duds, writhing in the sand and looking sexy in the sand? In a way, she's saying that women can only lead by being seductresses, while men are always confusing their pistols with their privates. (Thank you, Catwoman.)
Back to the drawing board, I say. And while you're there, reconsider those blond eyebrows. They scare me.
