Beyonce Serves Up Retro Sexiness In New 'Why Don't You Love Me?' Music Video

By Steven Avalos Posted May 4th 2010 02:10PM

When Beyonce announced that she'd be taking a much-deserved break in 2010, we found it a little hard to believe -- and apparently so did she. The singer, who told USA TODAY in January that she'd like to take "about six months" off to "recharge [her] batteries," has done just about everything but -- launching a new fragrance and teaming up with both Lady Gaga and Alicia Keys. Now, she's gone ahead and filmed a little something of her own to promote 'Why Don't You Love Me?' -- a bonus track off her worldwide smash 'I Am... Sasha Fierce' album.

The Grammy-winning singer, who is no stranger to alter egos, serves up yet another persona in her latest music video -- a sultry 50's housewife named B.B. Homemaker that we definitely hope to see more of in the future. Click through to watch the hardest working woman in show business, well, hard at work.

A retro video and another wack modern-day song from an album on which Beyonce fronts like she's someone else. I hope that break she's supposed to take lasts twenty years.

How much more seduction she is going to do to get everybody's attention! What is she trying to prove? With all the body language she is doing ,might as well go all the way girl. Take it all off.

Bey, you're a married woman now. Grow up and put on some clothes. That same ole she-it has gotten really old. Dang, how old are you now? 34? 35? Don't say that you're still in your 20s because black women in their 20s don't look as old as you.

Shes 28, and she looks damn sexy. Its her decision to do whatever she wants, and she has the talent to justify it.

I agree- and now i feel like she is really trying too hard to outdo whoever.Girl-you should be in Ru Paul's drag race show,trust....

Beyonce is 28 years old. You're just stupid to say differently. She has a baby face when she doesn't have any makeup on. She has the most flawless skin ever. Obviously, you wouldn't understand that she making references to people like Betty Paige and the whole 50s pinup era. Those women like Dorothy Danridge, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Jayne Russell, etc...wore similar clothes in magazines and movies.

By rachelhope26

She IS that young...and she doesnt even look old!

As much as I like Beyonce, I didn't like this track, she should have left it up to Solange to sing his song. BTW - this song isn't on the SF CD that I have, is this from a re-released CD???

About David Boreanaz - I don't give one fig about his cheating, I like the show Bones, I like his character Seely Booth. I don't know his wife from a can of beans so I have no affinity for her one way or another. If she can't handle his infidelity, she should do like Sandra Bullock and get gone - it's that simple. It's not for the public to decide if this couple should stay together or not.

I will continue to watch Bones...I never knew anything about his personal life and he was able to continue to act and keep me engaged, so I don't know what should be different because he had an affair.

What an awesome video and song. Beyonce rocks.

The video is so amazing. I'm loving the Betty Paige and Valley of the Dolls references. The song is amazing, too. Is this from a new album?

By Penelope

The song was on the first version of I Am Sasha Fierce that you could get off of ITunes. It was a bonus song. I've always loved this song so much. I was going through some trouble with my now ex-boyfriend, and I related to this song so much when I brought the album. I'm so glad that Beyonce made such a great video to go along with the song.

By Ashley

Beyonce is so beautiful. I love the pinup looks she did for the video. She captured the essence of that era perfectly. The song is hot, too.

By that was disrespectful

Didnt to much care for the song or video but hey if it works for her. One thing I did hate was the fact that she is smoking in the video. I understand that years ago it use to sexy for a woman and all that but now smoking is killing in record numbers. More teens are lighting up to die everyday! I think promoting smoking is bad idean for any entertainer. I know its just a video but kids take this stuff seriously. Lose the cigs B!!!

I enjoyed the video. It was a hommoge to talented beautiful woman like Betty Paige and the whole 50s pinup era. And women like Dorothy Dandridge, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Jayne Russell, etc...were styled is similar fashion.

By Nels

One of Beyonce's hottest Videos of all time. Damn ppl still hate on her, its crazy to me. Its almost like saying Kobe isn't the best. He is, She is, get over it ppl.

i agree to JBaer becuz in 2000 she wuz this cute little gurl just singing on stage and doing her thing... Today she is a grown woman stripping in videos and in public... she has changed unbelivebly to much she needs to put some clothes on cuz she is married...

Is this an video imitation of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi? Oh Beyonce-i'd prefer drag queens to do the kind of style you do? is your mentor a drag queen? you are a totally different person when you are performing? Which one is the real Beyonce, the sweet lady-like when off screen or the soft porn on screen? Just wondering. I think you are pushing yourself too hard. You are sexy as you are- it's like "look at me in your face" kind of thing! Tone it down few notches.There are children watching this. Think before you act pls.
