Tranny in Single Ladies not Beyonce

So here is a timeline of the Single Ladies meme, tranny and all:

1. "Mexican Breakast", choreograhy by Bob Fossee. I'd never seen this until I saw the "Walk It Out" video. I doubt anyone had except die-hard Fosse and musical theatre fans.

2. "Walk it Out" Mash-Up. We all saw this a long time ago. So funny. Then months passed.

3. The Single Ladies video pops up, with Mexican Breakfast moves. (!!!) Not only that, the video is spectacular in itself. I also noticed that choreography resembled drag queen tranny moves. It's later revealed by Bossip that the woman on the left is (a) a tranny and (b) the choreographer. Mmhmm! The video also has a Wikipedia entry.

4. The Mash-Up. Not important, but funny.

5. The fan video. He'd later go on to appeared on The Bonnie Hunt show. More fan videos.

6. The SNL parody (11-15-08) featuring Justin Timberlake & Andy Samburg (of "D*** in a Box" fame). If this link no longer works, the LA Times gives the reason why: music clearance.

PUT A RING ON IT ...KATY PERRY

Beyonce: Single Ladies and Walk it Out: save video

In this stunning new Beyonce video, there are OBVIOUS choreography nods to the fab "Walk it Out" mash up video. And how about product placement? Giving her own denim line a shout out: "...in my Dereion Jeans..." Also, I wonder if having Beyonce (a) shot mostly from far away and (b) in a bathing suit-style outfit were employed to hide her obvious gi-normous weight gain. Her legs are giant. I know that sounds mean, but I'm just wondering. And finally, the choreography is a mix of the mash-up's Fosse, Broadway and flat-out drag queen. Love it and think it in itself is worthy of praise. I think the video is stunning. Source
