![]() There are no props other than a robotic glove that Beyonce wears. Shot on a white cyc with some flashing lights, the video is really only a dance number - Beyonce as the lead dancer plus Ebony Williams and Ashley Everett as her dancing companions. Instead, it's remembered as just being fantastic as well as a rare example of true minimalism and performance in a modern pop video. (This video was also the subject of a relatively well-known SNL skit where Beyonce's dancers were dudes - Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, and Bobby Moynihan.)įortunately, I think "Single Ladies" isn't remembered for being so good it cased Kanye to embarrass himself. Kanye was so angry he just jumped up on stage and told everyone who should have won. "Single Ladies" was up for Best Female Video, and it lost out to "You Belong To Me" by Swift. It's worth mentioning up front that this video has the dubious distinction of being the music video that Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift over at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
