She's holding auditions today in LA for the video. :) Source? Just know that it came from her mouth. I can't say much about it, but she mentioned this personally to someone, but she said all that she would say is that she's shooting a video in LA.

This is gonna be kind of difficult but maybe y'all can figure it out, all of y'all get to guessing. I don't know the words or if this is the correct song or not but it goes something like this... "We Going", what Beyonce song is that? It's like a midtempo and it's mellow, it's a past song. It's real nice it begins with a W, but i cant figure it out, I saw it somewhere, it could be with Destinys Child, or by herself. Again it sounds like a midtempo. It's not from her last two albums i don't think. Thats all i could remember. The only Bey songs I know that starts with a "W" are Woman Like Me, World Wide Woman, & Wishing on a star. Oh, & "Why dont you love me"...but then again you said it wasn't from her last two albums & I'm sure you would remember that because it's recent.

Okay, so here's the tea.
It was definitely a cattle call. Everybody and their mama was there. Anyone who heard about it could have really showed up. Typical Frank Gatson foolishess if you're familiar with his cattle call auditions for some of Bey's past projects giving people false hope knowing he won't really hire them. Trying to get the word out there that a new Bey project is about to drop. Dancers, models, waitresses, porn stars (Jeremy Copeland), etc. Example? The guy with the light eyes, Justin Walker, from BET's Baldwin Hills was there. Everyone there is not going to be in the video, so a lot of people there were probably salty. On top of that, when everyone left, they were told they'd be contacted directly if Frank wants to proceed with them for the shoot. Oop! LMAO. So, basically, that means anyone without an agent will probably not be doing the video. That's just the way these kind of situations work. So, with that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff.
My friend got there and there were like 200 or more people in the room. A lot of Bey's old dancers and probably every major dancer and choreographer you could think of. The song is called "Girl". The video is being directed by Francis Lawrence. He was also there. 8 or 9 choreographers contributed to the routine. Danielle Polanco and Luam were 2 of those choreographers. Beyonce was there of course going over the routine and they were figuring out which pieces of the choreography they would be showcasing in the music video. The theme of "Girl" is like a female empowerment/girl power type of song that is a definite club banger with Top 40/Worldly appeal. The beat is driven by a sample of a popular club song that a lot of you will probably recognize. There's a breakdown in the song that is described as absolutely fucking disgustingly sick! Definitely an anthem in the style of her singing. My friend couldn't remember exact lyrics, but "Girl...girl....girl" is repeated a lot through out the song.
More on the choreography. No males will be dancing except these 2 African men that do this sick solo African intro with footwork at the top of the routine. There may be more, but at the meeting today only those 2 men were dancing. One of the choreographers was an African guy from an African dance company. Bey will have an army of like 100 or more girls. 20 of them will be doing the choreography with her and there will be like 100 of them behind her carrying sticks and marching. Men will be used as props and actors with the girls coming all in their faces and intimidating them. Again, the concept wasn't revealed so that's just connecting the dots with the choreography and small information that was given. It definitely looks like Bey will have an army or lesion of girls for one of the scenes that is presumably being shot on the 13th. Expect a full out dance number with lots of choreography.
Hopefully, my friend gets booked for the video. Everyone will be finding everything out in the next day or two.
So, there's the scoop!

Samples Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor". F**kin ridiculous!
MartianLeaks Mister Martian Hearing more about Beyonce's single. It samples a popular club hit (older) with a breakdown that "puts Hold It Against Me to shame.

That's a rumor, not confirmed. It's not a rumor, is it confirmed by people with working ears who have already heard the song.

Your source is @martianleaks, right? He said one of his followers mentioned it, that was it. He didn't make it out to seem like this was an overwhelming thing, so I think it's safest to say it's a rumor.

No, it's not from MartianLeaks but from dancers actually on the set where the song was looped over and over and over again.

Oh, sorry, you gave the impressions since that was the source you'd cited. Either way, idc. The song sounds like it's going to be fantastic.

My roomie got casted for the video. And it's prertty much what tamed09 said. I guess that only thing I can add is that there where horses, cheetahs and a bunch of other animals on set. Is he one of the 2 male dancers or one of the gazillion female dancers? SO lucky :'( I'd die to be in a Beysus video! So exciting.

So alot of people have heard the track
...And this is why I love living in L.A.
I just heard "Girl."
One of my music industry friends took me to a party tonight and I got a preview of the single. This party was top security; I couldn't even bring my blackberry into the party.
Anyway, the single is absolutely retarded. Haters will cry and careers may end.
Beyonce and her people came up with a true banger. I hope the album is completely uptempo like the single.
Anyway, Beyonce's people are trying to sit on the single until the last week of April (they want the single to drop six weeks before the album's release), but this thing will probably leak in a week or two. Also, the press release will probably be out this week.

This will easily become a "like-it-or-hate-it" song. The chorus just repeats "Who run the world, girls" and "who run this mutha, girls"
