VIDEO PREMIERE: BEYONCÉ - BEST THING I NEVER HAD

Still from Best Thing I Never Had

Oh, Beyoncé - Voice of Reason to so many Women!  Check out the Siren's new Video for Single Best Thing I Never Had.  Scaling back significantly from her last big budget-production for Run the World (Girls), she does things clean and simple with Director Diane Martel.  The Ode to a past Boyfriend who failed to appreciate her is a veiled (pardon the pun) celebration of present happiness.  Or is it really, considering how she still looks so hurt in this Video?  Hmm.

BEYONCÉ HEADLINES 2011 GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

Beyoncé at 2011 Glastonbury Festival

England got a special treat this year with Beyoncé headlining the Glastonbury Festival, spanning three days over the past weekend. 170,000 Music Lovers were in attendance live, while Fans internationally were able to watch the broadcast via the BBC.

Beyoncé wowed the Crowd, zipping through her Set which included a Destiny's Child Medley, If I Were a Boy/U Oughta Know, Single Ladies, Crazy in Love, a Cover of Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire, Run the World (Girls) and new Single Best Thing I Never Had.  

Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé's Husband Jay-Z were spotted even cheering her on in the Audience.  And if you want to win a copy of her new CD 4, in stores next Tuesday, you can still do so by entering my Giveaway right here.

NEW MUSIC: BEYONCÉ - BEST THING I NEVER HAD

Already onto her second Single, Beyoncé unleashes this pleasant listen co-written by '90s R&B King Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.   Best Thing I Never Had is in the same vein as Irreplaceable, telling a Lover who scorned her how she's better now without him.

I admit it - I have yet to wowed by any of the Tracks off of 4, but Queen B rarely disappoints.  I'm sure she's got a few missiles ready to fire.  This is sequenced coincidentally as the fourth track on the Disc, due June 28, 2011.

VIDEO PREMIERE: BEYONCÉ - RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS) | ALBUM COVER REVEALED

Album Cover for Beyoncé's 4

Beyoncé is definitely here and in a whack of updates tonight about her, we are presented with this glamsexy new Album Cover for her fourth Disc 4, due on June 28, 2011. A Listening Party already has been held and apparently '90s R&B King Babyface contributes a track to the Collection!

While we're waiting on more to come, we're treated to the Premiere of the Video for new Single Run the World (Girls) and although it certainly doesn't beat her performance in Obsessed, Beyoncé has unleashed some serious ferocity in the Clip directed by Francis Lawrence.  In what looks like a Riot about to ensue, watch Sargent Beyoncé show the Boys who's Boss with some incredibly choreographed dexterity.  With a  Gold Mirrorball Dress and Platform Shoes, Flags declaring a Brevolution, Llamas, an Explosion and a Swat Team, clearly there is nothing to look at here.  So just move along now...  LOL.
