A few observations about Beyoncé’s new vid for the Prince-ly titled “Upgrade U.” First, something about her expressions and sideway stares are recalling Ashanti, when the style mimicking is usually the other way around. Also, her Hova persona is better than most sketch comedy actors could muster (save Aries Spears). And finally, J Hud may have the Oscar, but she’ll never look so good doing that dance/whistle thing.

Why aren’t you reporting on the new white stripes record?
seriously, stereogum… what the fuck.
Beyonce is hot. She was amazing at the Oscars.
Ya the new white stripes!!!! Icky Thump woooohoooo!
Hallelujah holla back, Stereogum watches BET! Who knew?!?
hold yer horses!
white stripes are boring. beyonce is flashy and has a diamond in her mouth, that’s why. and it’s a good reason if you ask me….
John Brown King of The Burbz reads Stereogum?! Who knew?!
who cares about beyonce?
I do BIOT+CH.
Never noticed until now all the layering in the vocals. Very impressive.
Beyonce is my litmus test for whether people are too indie for their own good.
“I can do for you what Martin did for the People” WOW!
don’t choke on that diamond beyonce, we will be ever so sad (rolls eyes)
meh
that gold dress at the end is sick as fuck.
also, it’s nice to see stereogum switch it up a bit. the constant arcade fire coverage was starting to get to me.
ditto on Beyonce as a litmus test

I THINK THE GIRL’S GOT HER ACT TOGETHER FOR REAL , SHE DOESNT HAVE MUCH COMPETITION OUT THERE BECAUSE SHE KEEPS SETTING THE BAR SO HIGH , ITS NICE TO SEE A STRONG BLACK AND THICK WOMAN OUT THERE REPRESENTING FOR THE GIRLS THAT AINT A SIZE OF NON EXISTANCE …………DO YOUR THING GIRL
Her impersonation of Jay-Z is cute, but it reminds me more of TI than Jay. She’s got that sneer going on, while Jay typically is more stonefaced.
I LOVE YOU BEYONCE….
but you have Jay-Z…
I love Listen Mp3…
