Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé Wants You to ‘Move Your Body’

Want to work it out like Beyoncé? Here’s how. The pop star has partnered with First Lady Michelle Obama and the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation to help fight childhood obesity.

Bey re-recorded her hit “Get Me Bodied” for the “Let’s Move! Flash Workout” campaign and is now releasing it under the name “Move Your Body.” An instructional video featuring a group of teenagers getting down to the Swizz Beatz-produced tune was released online, while she will also record her own version of the exercise routine for distribution to participating schools.

She previously shared her elation over helping to fight the growing health problem. “I am excited to be part of this effort that addresses a public health crisis,” stated Beyoncé. “First Lady Michelle Obama deserves credit for tackling this issue directly, and I applaud the NAB Education Foundation for trying to make a positive difference in the lives of our schoolchildren.”

Middle school students can practice the dance by watching the new video, and can show off their hard work with a nationally syndicated “Let’s Move!” routine to take place at the same time on May 3 at 1:42 p.m. EST.

I don’t know how I feel about her remixing “Get Me Bodied” and using it as her first single for her fourth album, calling it “Move Your Body” instead, but I will be buying it on iTunes to support. Beyonce knows best! <3

Beyonce is a MAINSTREAM Artist which = POP ARTIST

meme Reply:
April 8th, 2011 at 5:08 pm
@TeamTM, I think people confused the meaning of pop. Pop is short for popular. Country, rap, R&B or any type of music can be pop. Kanye & Nicki is a raps but he is pop, taylor sings country but she a pop artist…the same way beyonce mostly sings r&b but she is a pop artist.

April 8th, 2011 at 6:30 pm
@Mya, have you not heard of Sppechless? Yes? Resentment? Her entire first album is stright R&B. She is very mainstream but Beyonce is also R&B #sit

@maya, A Pop Artist Is An Artist With Popular Appeal. Pop Music Is Commercially Recoreded Music. Pop Music Is Short For Popular Music. Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, Jay Z, Katy Perry,Justin Bieber, Willow Smith Bruno Mars, Rihanna and So On Are Pop Artist. R&B Artist Include Monica, Keyshia Cole, Ne-Yo, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and So On.. Get It .??

its well known in the industr beyonce is just boring. she has nothing new to say. shes so rehearsed and media trained. look at the pop satrs today they all have something intresting to say. i think its because she idolises her mum and michelle obama wheres people like rihanna idiolise current culture she reall ages herself with this “holier than thou” persona its such a bore. i predict 300k on her first week.

GTFOH The Rih-tard stans are mad. Just b/c Bey doesn’t cuss people out, pick fights on twitter, talk about how much she likes d**k, etc. doesn’t mean she’s boring. Some people like AK and Bey like to rely on their talent and not an outlandish and gimmicky personality to get by. Funny thing though: Gaga and Rihanna are manufactured like the rest. They do ish just for shock value and to cause controversy.

And Beyonce doesn’t need your seal of approval in any way. She has the First Lady and Pres. backing her, which is definitely worth more than some stranger’s comments on a blog.
