Best Videos Of 2008, #5 – Beyonce “Single Ladies”

beyonce_article_big

Beyonce has had quite the year — an out of body one, if you will. She took on a Prince-esque form when applying her alter-ego “Sasha Fierce,” that never really sounded any different from Beyonce (marketing scheme anyone?). She also took on the brilliant role of Etta James in Cadillac Records, and pulled it off to what seems like, everyone’s surprise.

“Single Ladies” was the video that whether you loved or hated, you couldn’t get it off your mind. Beyonce in glossy black and white, her full legs exposed, and enough lip gloss for the entire cast and crew. Whether these dance moves would actually prove valid on the dance floor is irrelevant, Beyonce could do the gator and look sexy as hell in the process. With its usual pop hooks and hip-hop sensibilities, Beyonce’s stature only grows with every hit single, and “Single Ladies” is no different. I can only hope she performs this at Obama’s inauguration and not “At Last”
