Nice video...I'm constantly impressed by how listenable that song is (no pun intended, I promise).

Posted: 12/24/06 at 12:35pmIt's an awesome song and the orchestration on it is amazing- especially if you hear it in a large theater with an excellent sound system.

It's a great song, but that video blows.
What drag queen did her choreography?
I liked the fact that she shot it in a theatre.
I liked it when she smacked her thighs and became her character from the film...
But then she started getting 'jiggy with it'.
Eeew. Don't.

Posted: 12/24/06 at 3:11pmYeah- you're right- it is a great song but a HORRIBLE video. "Here's a camcorder, let's do this" is the look I guess they were going for..

Posted: 12/24/06 at 4:17pmLove the song, but I have to agree the video seems slapped together. Both the song and Beyonce deserve better.

Posted: 12/24/06 at 5:55pmYa.. I hate to break it to you all but all movie tie-in music videos suck. Across the board. This was pretty par for the course: the singer walking through some locale singing it whilst random clips from the movie play every once in a while.
