New Video: Beyonce – ‘Best Thing I Never Had’

Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Beyonce

Beyonce’s long awaited video for ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ finally hit the airwaves moments ago. Directed by Diane Martel, the visual supports the Babyface-penned track that currently sits at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Check out the production below:

This is a simple video for a simple song. However, it would have been more interesting if Beyonce went the comedi route with the visual. She even had a golden opportunity to come out of her shell with the prom theme and make the clip into a hilarious production to remember (like Pink’s ‘Raise Your Glass’).

Still, with the song already climbing the charts and gaining airplay thanks to her intense promotional efforts, it has a life of its own at this point. Good enough.

  Such a flop. She needs to wipe her tears with that nappy lace front wig & go home!
- Ariana
  
  Agreed Trent. The video is okay but that would have made it even better.
  “a simple video for a simple song” You said it all.
  
  @politicallyincorrect: I thought that too (statement #2)
  
  Cute vid.
- Bri
  
  @BEYDAFLOP Uh…no. There was no lingerie in the Irreplaceable video. Unless you count her being in a bra and a pencil skirt.

  @RihBaby
  
  I didn’t know Rihanna invented glamour shots…your troll ass stays in Beyonce post, is that because Trent hardly does posts on that billy goat bitch Rihfund…Rihturn has to drop an album every year just to stay relevant…Rihceipt has 5 albums none of them #1 in the US #BigAssFail

  @Jezebel bitch! Christina – Bionice = flop. Beyonce – RTWG = Flop , Beyonce is copying Leona Lewis here! Flop! My Gravitar says it all! FLOP FLOP FLOP. Cute video but she copied Leona! FLOP
- ABC
  
  I wonder what would happen if Rihanna took a year break…they would prob skin her ass for goat meat
- nellyv85
  
  Ri Stans kill me. Beyonce has more talent in her Big toe than Ri. BUT I DIGRESS…. The video was visually stunning. I would have loved a better story line. I miss videos that had plots. Hopefully she bring it with her next video!
- h3avensent08
  
  thank you for uploading this TRENT, the Beyonce site crashed on me… smh
  i like the simplicity of the video
- TinaSouthAfrica
  
  Trentisha! B will still that man Pinks video idea thingy for her next flop single from her lowest chart 1st week sale album 4. FLOP
- ABC
  
  Rihanna=billy goat dick sucking bitch

  I’m not about to sit here and participate in a stupid Stan war because I have more class than y’all -flips 3 dollar weave- HOWEVER didn’t y’all say the California king bed video was boring? Whatchu call this?
- politicallyincorrect
  
  OMG the stanwars followed Trent to his new site LOL
- T
  
  First off: The Rihanna fans are simply mad because not only does Bey’s singing voice shit on Rihanna’s whole discography BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT also a deaf person’s talking voice>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rihanna’s singing voice.
  
  Anyway’s I for one liked the simplicity of it. I wasn’t expecting anything over the top. She looked marvelous. The prom scene was a great addition. She looked SOOOOOO young there.
  
  Great job Beyonce.
- TinaSouthAfrica
  
  Rihanna can’t take even a 2year break between albums. Like why does she even need a break she does not do anything but sing a song that’s been given, written, produced for her. Ih she is gone for 2 years it will be the end of her 5year no ass having #1 album career. FLOP
- TinaSouthAfrica
  
  I love receipts..
- audrey_j
  
  the video is *it’s ok*, just beyutiful, cute … irriplaceable part 2. ..it’s still my 2nd least favorite song on the album tho. I’d be sceptical if I didn’t know the other tracks.
- Gdboyratedloud
  
  Why Rihanna gotta b a hoe? And I don’t ever see y’all arguing with stand of white artist! Hmmm
- Gdboyratedloud
  
  *stans*
- jay_scorpio
  
  RIHANNA MAY NOT HAVE A #1 ALBUM IN THE USA BUT AT LEAST HER ALBUM SALES ARE CONSISTENT AND HER SINGLES MAKE THE CHARTS… #FACT!
- jay_scorpio
  
  YOUR KING BEE IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY… RIHANNA NEEDS TO DROP FADING AS HER NEXT SINGLE AND DEDICATE IT TO BEYONCE LMBAO
- TinaSouthAfrica
  
  @Jay well I don’t think Rihanna will be dropping any more singles because both her new singles is dropping of the charts! LMFAO
- Gdboyratedloud
  
  I give up! Trent u tried ……. Muthafuckahs o and follow me on Twitter bitches @goodboyratedloud
- jay
  
  All of this irrelevant Cause None of them fucking with NICKI. Super Bass #5 and Climbing Hoes.
- Gdboyratedloud
  
  *I tried
- Juewelz03
  
  great review treat. i think bey should have let actors act OR if she wanted to be the leading lady have it be be more true and have Jay be the man in the end
- TheOneAndOnlyDC
  
  @jay_scorpio No the hell rihanna shouldn’t! If she releases that whack song, it would be the end of this CD…too bad Beyonce’s CD out-sold rihanna’s first week sales…it happens when you’re the King…but u would never know anything about that stanning for Rihanna…
  
  In other words, I thought Bey was absolutely gorgeous and stunning in this video. It was a perfect visual for a ballad
  
  btw follow me on twitter @TheOneAndOnlyDC
- jay_scorpio
  
  @TheOneAndOnlyDC Bee may have had bigger opening week sales than Rihanna however i doubt 4 will reach Platinum status… #JustWatch
- MuzikManaick
  
  It was simple, glamourous, and it actually went with the song! It was like Irreplacable Pt. 2 and I LOVED every minute of it! #KingB
- bidibidibom
  
  Da lingerie shots looked awkward! Idk it was kinda boring the song is borring :/ she shoulda released love on top,countdown or party not this snorefest….
- Maverick
  
  omg…annoying rihanna stans…no matter how you come here and bitch, it won’t detract the fact that bee is more talented than your fake manufactured idol…bee can sing..rihanna? not so much..move on now
- theman
  
  Boring and basic video, nothing to jump over. She could’ve did much better. The lingerie was funny. Lol.
- ABC
  
  The biggest FAIL is Rihanna is already working on a re-release for Loud…CKB and Man Down both FLOPPED
