'Single Ladies Gone Wrong'

I have always wondered why there was so much hype for Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” song and especially the video clip. The video clip, judged as Video of the Year 2009 (...cue in Kanye West to disrupt this blog if I were to suggest otherwise...) has been seen by thousands, not if millions of viewers around the world.

Probably should not confess to this but I have actually seen the original video clip. I won’t judge that people dancing in front of a camera is refreshingly original but what has resulted is really fascinating and ‘Just Plain Stupid’. Take this video for example by those on YouTube mocking Beyonce and Co’s dance moves:

Even Justin Timberlake had the guts to perform a parody on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and there is a much worse parody from an overweight man dancing to this song in a leotard, surprisingly with 13.1 million viewers. Watch if you dare!

While somehow linked to this video clip is another, which just made me 'LMAO'. (Poor girl, I hope she recovered!)
