After literally weeks of anticipation and probably some of the worst industry management faux-pas from a certain record label that shall remain anonymous, the video for Beyoncé’s Run The World (Girls), finally hit on American Idol last night, and FUCK YES IT IS AMAZING. The choreography is undoubtedly going to be replicated all over clubs and YouTube for the next decade. Sadly, the track didn’t break iTunes last night (it is still at number 60), but will hopefully climb later this week. Directed by the incredible Francis Lawrence (Bad Romance, Circus, Cry Me a River), check out the video in full under the cut. Queen B worked with eight different choreographers for this, including Frank Gatson and Sheryl Murakami – you can tell (but not in an inconsistency way).
Oh and my favourite moment from the video? This face. The epitome of I am Sasha Fierce.
UPDATE: Here is the album cover for 4
