I have chosen to link Beyonces' 'Best thing i never had' video and Jessie Js' 'Whos laughing now' video as both tell a story that fits with the lyrics. Jessie J's pretty much tells the story of the song word for word where as Beyonces' video has expanded on the lyrics and created a jilted at the alter scenario even though the lyrics to the song never imply there was a marriage just the end of a relationship. Jessie J's lyrics tell the story of how she was bullied and looked down on as a child in school, yet all the bullies never made it as big as she has and also how they're willing to be fake towards her in order for a 'claim to fame'. The video really reflects everything in the lyrics, the use of the young girl posing as younger Jessie is really effective and allows you to follow the story.
