Beyoncé - "Love on Top"

Only two weeks after Beyoncé gave us the video for "Countdown", the clip for "Love on Top"-- also off her latest album 4-- is here.


The video for "Countdown" raised accusations that Beyoncé had ripped off dance moves and set elements from Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. The "Love on Top" video is reminiscent of New Edition's 1988 "If It Isn't Love". Perhaps to preempt further criticism and plagiarism accusations, Beyoncé posted the following statement on her website along with the video, which she premiered in Australia:

"I have worked very hard on this video, this song is special to me and I had an idea for the video based on some of my favorite male groups. I remember seeing videos from New Edition, The Jackson 5 and the Temptations, bands I love for their beautiful harmonies, and precise choreography and I always wanted to make a video and be part of a boy group myself. It was so much fun."
