The Beyoncélogues are Back With 'Single Ladies'
Vasiliki Marapas — July 24, 2014 — Pop Culture
Nina Millin has returned with a brand-spankin-new video for her hilarious YouTube series 'The Beyoncelogues.'
Millin has made a name for herself by reciting the pop star's lyrics as spoken word poems. Karaoke disaster or high-level art? Personally, I think it falls directly in between, landing smack-dab on "pure comedic gold."
In the past, Millin has tackled hits such as 'Best Thing I Never Had' and 'Mine.'Now, she's taking a stab at 'Single Ladies' (otherwise known as the song most likely to be played during the bouquet toss at every wedding from here on out). Unlike the other two, Single Ladies is an uptempo jam about enjoying the single life (much to the chagrin of your useless ex). But when you strip away the music and add Millen's Shakespearean flair, it becomes equally as emotional.
