Confused...

Greg James | 05:45 UK time, Thursday, 13 November 2008

I'm a red blooded male and I think Beyonce is one of the most beautiful women in the world, however here's a couple of things.

1. This video is for a single off her new album that has already been released in the U.S. I love this song - if it is released in the UK I think it'll be a huge hit. However, in the video, she scares me a little bit. I don't like the violent dancing and there is just something a little odd about it.

2. Rumours abound on the internet that one of the dancers is of dubious gender, i.e. is it a man or a woman? Look closely and discuss.

I think she's just a bloody ugly woman.

She's got the right hips for a female, and she's got boobies, and a round bottom.

Then again, so as Chris Moyles lol

I don't think people should be making judgements on the dancer's gender in such a superficial way. Perhaps the dancer is transgendered and identifies as a woman. Gender identity is what you feel like, not what parts you were born with. If the dancer identifies as a woman then she is a woman.

not gonna lie greg, the one on the left does look like a man but i doubt he/she is coz beyonce has this new found hatred for men so would she hire him/her as a backing dancer? shes always going on about how her all band are all woman etc

I think it is a woman, just a bit manly.
why would they dress up a man to look like a woman ? when they could get a woman dancer just as easy, maybe even easier. Might be wrong.
if it is a man, looks like woman, if it is a woman then, doesnt make a very good one. haha S-HE cant win :)

If this woman did used to be a man it has no bearing on fabulous she looks now and if she didn't used to be a man then you are quite mean for suggesting it.

Hi Greg,
I really don't think that's a man, and I'm suprised you do... did you honestly think Beyoncel would have some sort of trans gender dancer? Not that there would be anything wrong with that!

Though I agree she does have STRONG features!

I think the dancing is a bit over the top for a music video tbh but ther's no denying beyonce's an amazing dancer!
Not totally seeing the he/sheeness of the dancer, if it is a man where exactly are they hiding their manliness in that leotard!? :p
