The Best Review Of Beyonce’s “Girls (Who Run The World)” On The Internet

April 20th, 2011 // 21 Comments

Beyonce’s new jam “Girls (Who Run The World)” has been receiving mixed reviews since it debuted earlier this week, but according to Kevin and Makael, anyone who enjoys the singer’s latest offering is wrong, wrong, wrong. The Awl points us to The Skorpion Show on YouTube, hosted by two over-enthusiastic Beyonce fans who are, to put it extremely mildly, not pleased with the diva’s latest single. Enjoy Kevin and Makael’s passionate, 7-minute review below. (Trust us, you will enjoy it.)

Our favorite moments:

** The audible gasp from the woman who enters when she’s informed that Beyonce’s new single has leaked.

** “This is not something I like from Beyonce.”

** All the Willow Smith hate.

** Kevin’s Mr. Rogers t-shirt.

** Giant, huge, pregnant pause from Makael, before finally finding the words: “I am so upset right now.”

** Makael’s indifferent (or is it just disappointed?) face throughout most of the video.

** “Who runs this house?? Who runs this house??”

** The fact that they still advise us to  go out and buy Beyonce’s single even though it’s “horrible dot com.”

** The fact that if Rihanna had recorded this, they would probably dance to it, but not Beyonce.

** Makael wanting to sit Beyonce down in a locked room.

Somebody please give these two their own VH1 show where they review pop singles. If they did, it would probably come off a lot like this.

    it’s Makael

  2. DR

    Love these guys! They’re simplyamazing.net!

  3. Kevin

    These 2 are the LAST ppl in the world who need a tv show. Annoying 101 and just damn ignorant

    I gonna have to respectfully disagree with Kevin and Makael. I love Bey’s new song. LOL, I ready for her return to the music scene and will be bumping this song, LOL. Still love Theskorpion show. They are cool peeps.

  5. Jesse

    Whatever!!! You can’t satisfy everyone and to me I think people are just jealous of the fact that this song is going to be a hit. I really like this song because it represents women and how they are running this world and stepping up. So keep up the good work Beyonce.

  6. Missy

    I have to agree with them. They hit the nail on the coffin–Bey is hyped so much that we essentially expect more from her. Her new song reminds me of DIVA, and if I remember correctly, Diva was released later on and not a first single. This should not be Bey’s BIG BANG. And I don’t think they were bashing Willow, i think they are just showing that they are frustrated that Beyonce is singing music on a child’s level. Something like this is cute for Willow or Rihanna because they are still young, but Bey needs more substance in her material.

  7. Um that dont make sense. Their both major Beyonce fans, in nearly every video Makael is kissing her ass and promoting whatever the hell she has comming out why should they be jealous? Their being honest, and so’s everyone else who knows that this song is complete trash. Just because their honest with their opinions and feelings about what she does dont make them “jealous” or less of a fan, it means they arent gonna lie about what they do and dont like.

    GREAT VIDEO!! lol…love the passion…they’re keeping it one hundred :)

    dumbasses.. how the hell are they gonna review a song that isn’t even out in it’s official version yet?

    I’m glad Beyonce’s cousin un-followed Makael when she heard of this, hope that douche doesn’t regret his comments because he just distanced himself from Beyonce and her fanbase. bitch boo bye.

  11. ^^^ So basically what your saying is to Bey a real Beyonce stan you cant have a honest opinion about what you like and dont like, and if you dont like something she does, your not a fan. LOL TOOOO Funny. He pretty much proved he’s better than most of yall, cause yall know the song is garbage but your lying to yourselves and everybody else. He’s not the dumbass.

    I am a great Beyonce fan but quite frankly i think this song is underwhelming. It is not a trashy song as some are trying to make it seem, it is simply not the type of material expected from such a talented woman. A plus to the song in terms of its female empowerment theme. Sometimes it is about the message not necessarily the delivery.

  13. Madison

    It’s the first time I’ve seen those 2, and I’ve never laughed so hard! Needless to say though – although the song is hideous, with absolutely no melody to it, it will be a hit.

  14. is u gay im juss askin………….!!!!!!!!!

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. A fan does not have to like every song an artists puts out. The song in my opinion lacks all the hype we have been hearing about the upcoming album but it does not mean she will not have others songs that are good-great. The reviews from fans are mixed so he is not alone in this one.

    Excellent blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any tips? Cheers!
