NOW SEE THIS: BEYONCE

Here’s the long awaited video for “If I Were a Boy,” the first of two singles off Beyoncé’s third album I Am… While some listeners will immediately think of Ciara’s similarly-titled Like A Boy because of the similarity in subject matter, the vibe and song makeup are both completely different. B definitely delivers! For most, after viewing the music video it made them like the song a bit more. Beyoncé’s third album drops November 18th. Watch the video below.

ON THE SET WITH CIARA

Peep these shots of Ciara on the set for her new single 'Go Girl'. It looks as though they were going for the “aggressive, dominatrix” look. Can't wait to see the finished product. What are your thoughts?
