YES! By far the best choice!
Probably the best choice for the UK. I really hope it becomes a hit - 'Best Thing I Never Had' seems to have faded rather quickly :(

Really? It feels like it's been around forever to me.

In terms of longevity, it spent a long time in the top ten, but since, it's bombed a bit.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG <3

Frankly, between us, after all of the organized chaos, the backbreaking choreography, the wallet-stealing and the wild hyenas of Beyoncé's "Run The World (Girls) video," I needed a little breather, you know? Fortunately it looks like Beyoncé's serving up -- or rather, counting down -- a little sweetness and light in the sneak peek of her new "Countdown" video, which premieres Thursday, Oct.

 

From the "Countdown" video sneak peek, we can surmise that Beyoncé's been watching a little Funny Face since she's channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn in the classic black turtleneck/ slimfit capris Audrey made instantly iconic. (Also, pumpkin-colored nails, WHUT?) Yes, Beyoncé can look impeccable in just a black turtleneck, black pants and white socks. But you knew that.

 

Beyoncé turns into a human clock behind a classic 1960s psychedelic, black-and-white-striped background, then a human art gallery as she morphs into a series of Lichtenstein girls come to life in primary-colored bathing suits. All this before "Countdown" starts referencing The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" split screen motifs. We'll take it because it means more Beyoncés to go around. Seriously, we will watch Beyoncé doing ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING if that's not already clear.

 

So far, "Countdown," from Beyoncé's 4 album, feels like it' Bey's "Why Don't You Love Me" video flipped on its head... if Beyoncé hadn't burned dinner and ruined her mascara. In terms of '60s leanings, "Countdown", directed by Adria Petty could also be where Beyoncé left off in her "Get Me Bodied" video, which felt like it could've been shot in 1964.

 

Oh, and did we mention that Beyoncé's totally, adorably, pregnant in "Countdown"? Because she and Jay totally made good on that "I'm tryna make us 3/ From that 2" lyric. (That baby isn't even born yet, and it's already a 10.)

 

If you'll excuse us, we're off to count the ways we love Beyoncé.

 

i really dont like the look of the video
I LOVE it. Such an amazing song too, easily my favourite track on '4'. Hopefully it'll be HUGE.
I actually really, really like that. It's a nice fun video and does the song justice, I think. This song is growing and growing. It sort of reminds me of 'Check On It' for some reason though. But that's no bad thing in my book ha.
Yet another brilliant video from Beyoncé, reminds me of 'Video Phone' with all the colours. Perfect single choice as well.
I really like it. It has a sort of Why Don't You Love Me? vibe. Quirky and random too. This isn't what I had imagined for the video but it works perfectly.
Love the video! Does the job completely, and works incredibly well with the song; I especially love when she's a clock at the beginning, and when the outfit changes with the colour of the background. The videos from this era have all been great, and work very well with their respective songs. This will definitely be a top 10 here; and the sixth top 75 from the album already! :lol:

Amazing video, prefect for the song.

It's still my favourite from '4' (well, behind 'Dance For You' if we're counting bonus tracks) - I can see it being massive.

I like it, a very nice and quite a cheeky video. I hope this can be a huge hit for her.
