Beyonce Releases New 'Run the World (Girls)' Teaser Video

Beyonce likes to be a tease, at least when it comes to the promo for her Diplo and Switch-produced single, 'Run the World (Girls).' After releasing a preview for the song's video last week, the chanteuse is teasing fans with a new clip.

Where the last visuals showcased a slew of women strutting in the desert and showing off expensive furs, the new 38-second teaser gives more face time to Beyonce, who pops up on screen standing solo in front of a shield-wielding brigade. As a one-woman army she stands firm, stomping her gold heels -- a stunning art piece by themselves -- before the men scream in unity.

The word "revolution" and an intricately drawn letter "B" held up by two hands pop up in the clip, adding to the Wonder Woman-like power the video is meant to exude. As Beyonce stares into the camera seductively, a headdress covering her hair, images appear that include military tankers and massive plumes of smoke, usually the kind caused by dropping bombs during a war. Women dance, but not in the sexy manner of Destiny's Child videos past. This seems more like the moves seen in Janet Jackson's 'Rhythm Nation' video.

But it doesn't seem all gloom and doom as B appears like an angelic goddess in one scene, wearing a long white gown, then straddling a horse in another white number. Abstract fashions are aplenty in the clip, a bright yellow dress with high side slit among them.

The Frances Lawrence-directed video has no premiere date as of yet. Last week, 'Run the World (Girls)' fell from its debut position of No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 to No. 48.

Hmm Sounds like a bunch of broke haters denying the talent of someone else who worked hard her entire life. Everything in life is imitation. If you buy some shoes you saw on television, that's imitation. They made more than one pair. Almost all ideas musically are bound to be repeated. Go, B, Go anyone who is working hard and on their grind everyday making money. No time to sit around and hate on someone else. There's money to be made! :-) Smile.

Thanks to Mariah and Whitney and maybe even a little Celine,female singers feel that they have to oversing and repeat everything in every over produced song they record. Beyonce is the biggest imitater of them all. I would take Katey Perry and Lenka over all of the Beyonces and Rhiannas of the day, and over all of the Real Mariahs,Whitneys and Celines. And lets talk Lady Gaga!!!! No talent sexually confused scumbag. A Madonna wannabe of another dimension. She will not be around much longer. At least Madonna could back her hype back in the day.All I keep seeing of Lady Gagmewithaspoon is videos of her falling on stage almost nightly!!!

She is a dirty btalentless niggruh that has to parade around half naked on stage like a baboon in heat and use all sorts of voice overs and electronic synthsyzers to try and sell her crap. She is a baboon that spends 100's of thousands of dollars to try and make herself look white but she still looks like a black man in drag.
