STR8 TALK: CAN BEYONCE SAVE THE “GIRLS”?!

Tweet

There’s always a first for everything and Beyonce is experiencing her first of lackluster of singles. In case you haven’t heard Beyonce’s “Run the World (Girls)” is tanking on the Billboard charts. According to Billboard, “Run the World (Girls)” has climbed Billboard’s Social 50 Chart and lands No. 33 on Billboard Hot 100. For Beyonce’s standard, well that’s just a huge and overall disappointment. So what do you when your fans, radio, and itunes just aren’t feeling your single? Well you go on overload…
You pull out all the stops and get heavy on visuals….
Yesterday Beyonce and her camp leaked a teaser to her “Girls” video. Enjoy the twenty second sneak peak of the Francis Lawrence-directed video below.

What else do you do to gain her fans back and get airplay…you make yourself relevant i.e publicity stunt…
Beyonce is just a different caliber of celebrity to jump on any old publicity stunt. Rather than that, she opts to touch the hearts of all Americans. With renewed patriotism sweeping across the country following the demise of Osama bin Laden, it only makes sense to put out a recorded studio version of “God Bless the U.S.A.”
Coincidence? HELL NO! Talk about brilliant!!

According to ThisisRnB,
The song will air on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” with proceeds benefitting 9/11 charities. “#Beyonce is releasing a new song, a cover of ‘God Bless the USA’, and it will get 1st TV airing on @PiersTonight CNN 9pm ET,” wrote Morgan. “All proceeds from #Beyonce song will go to New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund.”
The patriotic single will become available on iTunes shortly after. “Fans should be able to buy #Beyonce song as soon as Friday on iTunes and from her website beyonce.com.”

Keep in mind she performed this song back in 2008 for Barack Obama’s campaign and it arrives the same day as the President’s visit to Ground Zero to honor those lost on 9/11. Beyonce sure knows how to stay relevant without being all up in your genius. And for this, her #s will go up and she’ll be back on top. Stay tuned for another stunt or visuals to come…
