The much-hyped first single off of Beyonce’s blandly titled IV has gotten the video treatments. There was an array of teasers, all of which were less than satisfactory, now you get the whole thing no cuts or skips. Watch this be a mega-hit after the Oprah show finale. Also, watch Beyonce fans claim its the greatest thing on earth when its not. The video’s, as over-produced as it is, is quite fun.

Erykah Badu has disappeared, as usual, so we thought that she got over her second installation of the New Amerykah series, which is also her final of it. But, she dropped into 2011 with a much-wanted video for one of the best tracks on an equally stellar album. “Gone Baby, Don’t Be Long” is tale of longing from an analog girl onto the digital world.

This track got a lot of hate from us when it first comment and understandably so. The lyrics are naff and the video is so schmaltzy it would leave Celine Dion with cramps. But, now we love it for its kitsch value. Where is she anyway?
