Supposed to be about her husband cheating on her with Rachel Roy. Some people got confused and thought it was Rachael Ray and were sending her mean tweets and messages. I don't get why she thinks we are interested in her dirty laundry. It's pretty violent with her wielding that bat. I don't listen to her very much.

Yikes!

You know another thing, this Rachel Roy now will be forever known as Jay-Z's mistress. Forget whatever she's accomplished.

If she did sleep with Jay Z, Beyonce has exacted her revenge in a big way.

I haven't seen it. IMO, Beyonce deliberately spreads a lot of hate. She could be a positive influence, but she's not.

Just as a passive observer today, what I've gleaned is that Beyonce has used her considerable power to take another woman down. I can imagine the hate mail and possibly threats this Roy is getting.

I'd never heard of the woman before. Now, she's splashed all over tv, radio and social media.

It's made NBC's nightly news!

I can't remember the last music video I saw, but I must be in the very tiny minority. Tonight on NBC Nightly News, Beyonce--her video and her marriage--were included in Lester Holt's announcement of the top news stories of the day. Oy.

You spent an hour on this? ;-)

What a terrible example she's setting for her children and young fans. Who cares about her dirty laundry, her wayward husband?

Ya, but........it keeps her in the news. Positive or negative I don't think she really cares.

What a waste of time!

Pop culture is a waste of time.

I started watching it and thought it sucked. Besides, I was just killing time before Game of Thrones, and nothing can compare to that! I don't think the world needs to know about her bad marriage, nice work for your kid to see someday.

I'm not a Beyonce fan. Hated her "routine" during this year's superbowl, and the tiny snippet of this new video that I saw (without sound) was of her whomping lots of cars with a baseball bat. I had no idea what the "theme" was. All I could think of was that now a bunch of impressionable kids will start smashing cars with baseball bats.

If her marriage was a good, solid one, JZ wouldn't have strayed.

"If her marriage was a good, solid one, JZ wouldn't have strayed."

It seems to me that many married people both men and women thought they had a solid marriage and are surprised by infidelities.

As far as 'dirty laundry' I think that infidelity sits in the same class as child abuse, in that many people are hurt by it but feel as if it is too shameful to talk about, and try to deal with feelings of pain and thoughts that they were somehow responsible in private, without the support and feedback of friends and those they respect.

An hour of listening to her voice, no matter the theme? Uh, no thank you.

I watched the first 5 minutes of the video with the sound off because I was waiting for my neighbor to knock on my front door and I wanted to be sure I'd hear the knock. The beginning was beautifully filmed with an evocative setting and moody imagery. That's all I saw because my neighbor arrived!

As for whether Jay Z cheated or not I don't care. However Beyonce and Jay Z know how to make money and keep their brand in the public eye and this video seemed to accomplish that.

As far as I'm concerned she can't shine Adele's shoes. Adele just stands there and sings, doesn't need a lot of drama, marching or revealing costumes to entertain, and entertain she does, in a big way, JMHO.
