Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts"

Beyonce- Pretty Hurts


Pretty Hurts is a song recorded by American singer Beyonce for her fifth studio album. Nonetheless, Pretty Hurts music video is what song is known for. Beyoncé plays as a beauty pageant contest representing Third Ward Houston, which is the area in which she grew up. It opens with the sound of a soft piano and shots of Beyoncé sporting short hair, looking at herself in the mirror. It transitions to a segment of her fellow contestants preparing for the pageant backstage, combing their hair, fitting their dresses, also analyzing and critiquing their bodies. One scene during the preparations shows Beyoncé arguing with another contestant over a hair dryer. Multiple shots of the singer follow, of which depict her sitting on a floor and leaving a bathroom after vomiting. The clip then sees contestants looking tired and distressed backstage. This video speaks volume and honestly speaks for a lot of girls out there. Pretty does hurt and its not an easy job to maintain.
