Music Video - Reception

Rolling Stone "I always think about wearing something a fan could buy and make her own," Beyoncé told W earlier this year. "As a young girl I remember seeing so many artists, and then I’d try to dress like them. I sewed zippers on my jackets to be like Michael Jackson." The video for "Countdown," the overwhelmingly energetic new single from 4, is further evidence of this philosophy, with the R&B icon sporting a variety of dazzling looks that could definitely be emulated by fans on the cheap. The clip is nearly as joyful and super-charged as the song itself, with its barrage of world-class hooks complemented by a rapid succession of memorable, charming and sexy images. http://www.rollingstone.com/videos/new-and-hot/beyonce-countdown-20111007 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.195.60 (talk) 22:20, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

The 5 Best Videos Of The Week: 1. Beyoncé – “Countdown” (Dir. Adria Petty)

On Twitter last night, my friend Zach Baron had this to say: “I’m not sure if Tom Petty ever did anything as good as the “Countdown” video his daughter just directed.” This is obviously ridiculous; Tom Petty is the man. And yet, maybe he’s right? For months now, all my music-critic friends have been clamoring for Beyoncé to release “Countdown,” one of her best and brightest songs ever, as a single, and we kept worrying it wouldn’t happen as Bey kept all the attention on her relatively bland ballads. And now here comes this insane thing, a riot of color and dancing and the best face-acting you’ll see outside of, like, There Will Be Blood. Beyoncé didn’t really need to do this, but she made a hybrid Busby Berkeley/Jaques Tati movie with butts in it. And if you’ve ever lived with a pregnant woman, or been a pregnant woman, you’ll understand that the moves Bey pulls off in this video are impossible superhuman. The whole thing is amazing and beautiful and fun and, in a sidways way, emotionally fulfilling. It’s a tribute to the human spirit, and it’ll be some kind of rare feat of professionalism if I manage to keep myself from just watching it over and over all day.

When Is an Homage More Than an Homage?

Wow, I really enjoyed that article. I never knew that the Kill Bill movies took so much from other films, including Tarantino's own prior films. And there are definitely strong similarities between the Beyonce vids and Keersmaeker. LogicalFinance33 (talk) 17:18, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

SPIN's 20 Best Songs of 2011

The sort of aggressively and joyously avant pop production that rearranges your sense of time and space with an effortless hair flip (which is obviously the product of Olympian training and skill). "Countdown" is Beyoncé's gangsta throwdown as an artiste, bumping and grinding and skipping and skating and caressing and catcalling and bearing witness all over the beat like nobody since MJ — full stop. The Afro brass blasts, the minimalist synth boop boop, the jazzy Boyz II Men breakdown, the syncopated shiftiness back-to-front. A masterpiece, with legs for days." - Spin Magazine

And though Beyoncé’s video for “Countdown” is close to the top of pack simply on the strength of extreme shoulder work, the video art form is going through a phase of robust, competitive health.

Hi my friend. While including this information, please do also mention this phrase somewhere: "The original Beyonce video, which was co-directed by French filmmaker Adria Petty is technically pretty complicated with lots of screen splits and green screen tricks."
