Artist: Beyonce
Video: “Ego”
Album: I Am… Sasha Fierce
Label: Columbia
Director: Frank Jr. Gatson and Beyonce Knowles
What is it with Beyonce and her two female back-up dancers? Are they having lesbian threesomes? Is Jay-Z even included in any of the action? After having the both of them in three to four videos now, one has to ask such questions. “Ego” is the fifth single and music video (following “If I Were A Boy”, “Single Ladies - Put a Ring On It”, “Diva”, and “Halo”)
from her third album titled “I Am…Sasha Fierce”.
Beyonce returns to her favorite black and white music video fixations after the previous color outing, “Halo”. This is basically like “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)”, same two dancers, one background setting, except this time there’s a chair included, different leotards (silver this time around), and everything is glossy and black. Beyonce also sports a curly afro style this time around (not as 70s-ish as “Work It Out”, mind you).
Well, Beyonce is at it again ...
