  • Jack Dance from UkREAD the lyrics. This song is about a woman who thought she could trap a man by getting 'up the club' but when he escaped she set out to make him jealous. For songs to succeed they must ring a bell for many, many people. All the single mothers. And the guys living in regret they didn't tie a knot in it
  • Piper from San Franciscosteve from Gibsonia, I also love to see the afrocan dancing styles, we do it out here west coast style, flipping our hair and stomping, really important to hit the beat, love some beyonce, she knows the songs
  • Dj from Hope, NjI'm a fan of Beyonce's music - not a huge fan, just a regular one - and this type of video is probably my least favorite. Having said that, I can't explain exactly what it is about this video, but it is definitely my all-time favorite. I have a feeling this is one of those videos people will still be watching in 100 years.

    Anyone with a psychology background feel free to offer your analysis as to how a video made by a performer whose music I think is only in the decent to good range can make a video in a style I can't stand and yet it is my favorite ever.
  • Steven from Gibsonia , Pathis should be on the list of songs that are significant in the gay community, because the video has brought the african american gay dancetsyle to the mainstream.
  • Austin from Smallsville, New EnglandBeyonce is one of the better pop singers. She actually sings!!!
