Okay, it’s no secret that I consider Beyoncé one of the world’s most talented and accessible megastars. She’s been the subject of a recent Music Club post here on Doctor Pundit, and her video in that post has been downloaded (legally) at least 1 million times since its release. Herein lies the subject of this post. That song. More specifically, that video — the one for her most recent #1 hit “Single Ladies”. Besides being completely compellingly choreographed to the max, the clip has spawned what seems to be a cottage industry of imitators and satirists, and I think that’s awesome. Though it was released in late November 2008, it is truly the first great big hit of 2009. The song is easily one of Beyoncé’s catchiest and, dare I say, most important tracks to date. The ailing music industry needs to stop obsessing about illegal downloads (something they have very little control over) and start focusing on fostering intelligent, lasting pop gems. Props to Beyoncé and her continued positive influence on the music industry. Go ahead and enjoy the song once again (currently #1 on my iPod’s ‘Recurrents’ playlist) and at least one version from one of her many disciples.
