Beyonce Feat. Shakira - Beautiful Liar (2007) (720p) (HD)
"Beautiful Liar" (Spanish: "Bello Embustero") is a song by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles and Colombian Latin pop singer Shakira. The song was written by Knowles, Amanda Ghost, Ian Dench, and Stargate members Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen and produced by Stargate and Knowles for the re-release of her second solo album, B'Day. A Spanish and English mixed version of the song was produced called "Bello Embustero".
The song was the first single released from the deluxe edition. It held the distinction of having the largest upward movement on the US Billboard Hot 100 until in 2008. The track won at the 2007 MTV Video Music Award for Most Earth-Shattering Collaboration. In 2008, the song was awarded the Ivor Novello Awards for Best-Selling British Song.
The first half of the video features Knowles and Shakira in separate cuts. It begins with the women's faces masked by smoke. As the video progresses they are featured against several different backgrounds, including: dawn (Knowles) and dusk (Shakira); sheets blown in the wind; bamboo covered in yellow orchids; a room with blue neon lighting and Avestan writing on the walls; and finally a background of stormy weather. Slow dance moves and belly dancing, during a breakdown after the bridge, are featured heavily throughout the video. The women wear matching hairstyles and black outfits for the entirety of video.
"Beautiful Liar" was nominated for Video Of The Year at the 2007 BET Awards but lost to another Knowles video, "Irreplaceable".[26][27] At the 2007 MTV Video Music Award, it won the Most Earthshattering Collaboration, which was a new category included in the awards show.[28] During the event, Knowles received the award alone because Shakira reportedly was in Canada during the ceremonies.Video
