How you gon' be talking shit? You act like I just got up in it

When I saw this video for the first time I thought "shit, she dances better than girls in the background." I don't know on purpose or not, but I still think she dances better. Maybe because the girls in the background dance as if it was their job (this is the case, I understand), but Beyonce dances lively and naturally. Brilliant
