Beyonce - Countdown
I like this particular music video mainly because of its editing. Critics clasified "Countdown" as a multi-genre song and praised the sampling of the countdown from "Uhh Ahh" by Boyz II Men. They compared it to singles from Dangerously in Love(2003) and B'Day (2006), noticing elements of funk music, and dancehall influences in the tradition of "Get Me Bodied" (2007). "Countdown" features a marching rhythm and contains an Afrobeat heavy brass riff. All these genres feature an upbeat sound track which was supported by the fast pace and multi frame editing, which helped convey the mood of the sonng, which is; happy and cheerful
The lip synching was succesfully executed, and the addition of the musical intruments such as the trumpet were also incorperated very well in the music video, which supports the pace of the editing.
Artist: Beyonce
Genre: Funk music, R&b, Dancehall, Afrobeat
Popularity: "Countdown" received minor rotation on radio that attributed to its debut at number 75 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it peaked at number 12. It also charted at number 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. "Countdown" peaked at number 35 on the UK Singles Chart and number nine on the UK R&B Chart.
