Beyonce to premiere two new music videos TODAY!
Beyonce will premiere 'Beautfiul Liar' featuring Shakira and 'Upgrade U' featuring Jay-Z today on BET's '106 & Park.' Yes you read that right---two music videos! My rundown on both music videos: 'Beautfiul Liar' video treatment sort of reminds me of Beyonce's 'Check On It' meets Destiny's Child 'Stand Up for Love' music videos. Don't get me wrong here--the video is still fresh with a little bit of something new flavor to it. Kudos to the camera trick that made telling apart B and 'Kira a bit difficult. Anyhow the videos look fly---'Upgrade U' is a hot club song that Beyonce co-wrote with her cousin Angie Beyince and sister Solange. I'm glad Beyonce finally came out with a video to it. I think the video is reminisce of her scenes from the 'Cater 2 U' music video. "Beautiful Liar", which I just heard on Z100, is mid-tempo with Beyonce and Shakira going back to forth. Niiiiiice! The best of both worlds---R&B and Latin!
Watch a exclusive preview of Beyonce's 2 music videos over at '{Access Hollywood}.
Toya over at Toya's World got the rundown on Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" music video: "The Get Me Bodied video is stated to be the extended version. In the lyrics Beyonce says "my three best friends", and they supposedly show Solange, Michelle and Kelly under an umbrella. Then later in the lyrics Beyonce says "Do an old school dance", Michelle is doing the cabbage patch dance. The choreography is said to be really "fresh and slick"! The video starts off with beyonce writing (as the song reads...9-4-81 B'day) She is writing it on a mirror with red lipstick." [pic credit: Toya's World.]
More information straight from the Music World: "Both the "Upgrade U" and the "Beautiful Liar" videos will be available on the Anthology Video Album DVD, available exclusively at Wal*Mart beginning April 3.
"Beautiful Liar" will be on the new deluxe edition of B'Day, available April 3. Pre-order now for delivery on the release date."

Moving right along....
Beyonce visited MTV's TRL to debut 'Beautiful Liar.'
Shakira on her 'Beautiful Liar' co-star: “Beyonce has a very good accent when she sings in Spanish and I think anything that she wants to do she will do just fine, because she is a very determined and focused woman and that is something to admire. She is a great artist.”
“She is an amazing performer and also a sweet person and a very nice human being and I am so thrilled and thankful for her invitation. It was her idea to make me a part of her album and it has been wonderful.”
