Beyonce later did claim the grand prize when “Single Ladies” was named Video of the Year.Īnd Cory has company in aping the famous video - the musical TV show “Glee” featured the song and video as a main plot point in a recent episode, and the New York dance studio Broadway Bodies is planning a special mash-up of “Single Ladies” with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” in a dance performance of “All The Single Zombies” at the city’s annual Halloween parade. That sparked Kanye West to jump onstage, grab the microphone from Swift during her acceptance speech and shout that Beyonce got robbed. More infamously, the “Single Ladies” video lost out to country cutie Taylor Swift’s “You Belong to Me” at this month’s MTV Video Music Awards. The stark, black-and-white video places Beyonce and her world-class dance moves front and center, and is the biggest hit of her already storied career.

1 last year, and the video sparked what music experts called the first dance-craze phenomenon of the new millennium.

Little Cory showed he knows a hit when he sees and hears it. I’ve been a fan of Beyoncé since my partner gave me a slowed-down, burned DVD of Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) so that we could both learn the dance back in 2009.
