I really enjoy reading articles about Beyonce’s music. I have a lot of respect for her because of what she represents. The power of her lyrics speaking out about how strong a woman is must mean the world to women fans. A woman can be just as independent as a man.
Just like this video for example. A man and woman will have emotions for each other but it doesn’t mean that either are better. Together, they are powerful. As one, they are complete.
This song is about knowing there is love there. I always like to remember the clip that Beyonce placed in “Flawless.” She showed the men that beat her and her team in a talent singing contest. That was when it was being judged wrong.
What had happened is Beyonce went on to be one of the most famous females in music. The men are not heard of though. Shouldn’t they be just as famous? No, because the judges went for the men and didn’t know what they were doing.
The point is seeing a man and woman singing as one is the most inspiring thing to watch. It is equal and the way it should be. It shows that both are powerful together. A man and woman apart are a mess.
Another point to this video is that both can be independent with their lives. They can have a daily routine and accomplish their everyday objectives. Love however, can’t be accomplished without each other.
