"Why Don't You Love Me" - Beyoncé from Beyoncé on Vimeo.

...what the shit is this? ok yeah, Beyonce's body is banging, and what not but...Beyonce, running around cleaning the house in heels circa 1950, talking about how awesome she is, and asking this anonymous "You" who, I think it's safe to assume is a dude, why he doesn't love her. Again I ask, what the shit is this? What happened to female version of a hustler? Usually I don't really expect pop artists to be particularly politically correct or whatever but. When Beyonce, fuckin Beyonce who is arguably one of the most successful pop artist in the INDUSTRY right now (yeah yeah I like Lady Gaga, but if you really compare them longevity and marketability win out, Lady Gaga has one shtick, B can be classy, she can be silly, she can be...whatever the shitting hell this was, etc. etc.) and she puts out a video like this...I take issue with it. Maybe it's just the ridiculous video in conjunction with the song, but instead of being left with a sense of "damn that was hot" like I have with her last videos. I'm left with "Well, Beyonce's hot but...what the shit did I just watch?"

I can't conceive of a world where Beyonce engages some of the most ridiculously over-the-top stereotypes about "traditional" femininity while singing a song about a man not loving her where it isn't deliberate.

I mean, that whole music break where she dusts off her Grammys is basically her giving a wink to the camera. She's making sure you're in on the joke.

yeah, that's the idea I'm settling into, but by initial reaction was definitely "...what was that"
