Yet another no.1 video to watch out for! I have mentioned about this hot video before, and here it is, a single post devoted for it. Beautiful Liar is the latest offering, marking the first collaboration and team up between two goddess of the music industry, Beyonce and Shakira, two of my favorite stars up till this very second. The like the song itself, though doesn't crave for it, but for the video, it's totally awesome! They just looked so alike in the video! Check it out!



Basically, at the beginning of the video, both faces of Shakira and Beyonce are masked behind smoke. As the video progresses they are featured against several different backgrounds, including: a sunrise (Beyonce) and sunset (Shakira); sheets blown in the wind; bamboo covered in yellow orchids; a room with blue neon lighting and Arabic writing on the walls; and finally a background of stormy weather. Slow dance moves and belly dancing are featured heavily throughout the video, with a breakdown containing Arabic-style dance moves after the bridge. Spectacular moments when both of them wear matching hairstyles and black dresses for the entirety of video. [source]

I couldn't wait to get it. Above and beyond, it includes a string of videos, or should I say videos for all the tracks in it, including unreleased songs such as Freakum Dress and Green Light which would feature the Lost Destiny Child, fellow bandmate Michelle and Kelly, which marks the first reunion of the trio in 3 years?!

Beyonce to Release New Version of B'Day

(BI) Michael Worringer

NEW YORK -- Music World/Columbia Records will release Beyonce's “B'Day” Deluxe Edition, an expanded two-CD edition of the pop star’s best-selling Grammy-winning solo album, on April 3.

In addition to the original 12 tracks from Beyonce's multi-platinum album, Disc One premieres five brand-new songs in English: "Kissing You," "Flaws & All," "Welcome To Hollywood," a hidden bonus track, "Worldwide Woman," and the expanded album's first single, "Beautiful Liar," a duet between Beyonce and Shakira.

Disc Two debuts six new Spanish language tracks, including "Amor Gitano," Beyonce's sensuous flamenco-pop duet with Latin Grammy-winning singer Alejandro Fernandez.

Rounding out Disc Two are Beyonce's Spanish language versions of "Listen (Oye)" and "Irreplaceable (Irreemplazable)" as well as three new mixes of "Beautiful Liar."

Beyonce's second solo album, “B'Day” closed out 2006 as one of the year's most successful album, coming in at No. 7 on Billboard's U.S. Top 10 Best-Selling Albums chart. Certified RIAA double platinum in the United States, “B'Day” has sold more than 4 million copies around the world.

The Best Damn Thing is yet to arrive, but Avril Lavigne has already embarked her comeback journey with the current single, Girlfriend, which debuted at #5 of Billboard Hot 100 due to heavy downloads. Previously, the soundtrack off Eragon, Keep Holding On, received a fair success on the radio as well (no. 17 was the peak spot). Back with the hot blond look with some fire within, here is the official cover for the album which will be released on April 17, which is roughly 38 days from now.

The track listing is already out. And they are:

1. Girlfriend - 3:36
2. I Can Do Better - 3:15
3. Runaway - 3:48
4. The Best Damn Thing - 3:09
5. When You`re Gone - 4:00
6. Everything Back But You - 3:02
7. Hot - 3:23
8. Innocence - 3:52
9. I Don't Have To Try - 3:17
10. One Of Those Girls - 2:55
11. Contagious - 2:09
12. Keep Holding On - 3:57

Based on the names, I think Avril's going to bring the punk back once again. The first single is awkwardly good, but nothing compared to the brilliant Complicated. Here is the video for it.


So, what do you think?!
