I ask because why would she film a video for a promo single 3 months after it was released? Surely it is an official single now? Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 12:35, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Another artist has covered the song. Tiffany Evans. There is a source at Rap-Up. Jivesh • Talk2Me 09:02, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
The "1+1" video is the story of love at its best. It's about commitment and fulfillment and it's Beyoncé at her most beautiful. The video experiments with psychedelic visual effects and innovative lighting that gives the clip a cinematic feel. "1+1," which Beyoncé first performed on the season finale of American Idol, is not an official single but it's the first song on the album and it's the first of many videos which will be released to visually tell the story of 4. The dress rehearsal clip backstage at AI, "Pregame" became an instant viral hit as soon as it hit the web. http://www.beyonceonline.com/us/news/watch-11-video-premiere-tonight-e — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.195.60 ( talk) 23:31, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
We use links that are directly related to the song. How is her official site related? It's related more to her than the song. I Help, When I Can. [12] 21:42, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

This may eventually become a news story. It's pretty obvious that she was "inspired" when creating this video as well. This is not an edit request, this is just me letting the editors of this page know that with the recent discussions surrounding "Countdown" it's likely that this may pick up steam. Or maybe not. Just putting it out there.-- mikomango mwa! 16:59, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

PMA’s 100 Best Songs of 2011 At number 01 - BEYONCÉ – “1+1″
Beyoncé has hits to spare. Her two biggest rank among the last decade’s best. Confetti cannons heralded her 2003 debut single “Crazy in Love,” and her arrival as a solo artist. Her dominance was undeniable by 2008, thanks to an inescapable anthem (do really I need to name it?) and its instantly iconic music video. “1+1,” the shiniest jewel in Beyoncé’s (not Sasha Fierce’s) tiara, was somehow met with a shrug. It reached #57 on the Billboard Hot 100. Time will no doubt rectify this injustice.
Oft-repeated comparisons to Sam Cooke and Prince are apt, but they miss the point. “1+1” is an achievement of Knowles’ own. Beyoncé may not know much about algebra, but taken together, the song’s 3/4-time arpeggios, tender strings, howling electric-guitar solo, and superb vocal performance yield a deeply affecting four-and-a-half minutes of pop balladry. That The-Dream gave this song away is insane, an example of artistic generosity (or maybe regret) on par with “Because the Night” and “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Beyonce’s version, so far superior to The-Dream’s demo, only confirms her own talent. Its definitive version was taken backstage and was recorded on a phone. No sampled horns or elaborate choreography were needed: just a pop star with an insanely good song. Or better put: an artist with a classic.

DUMMY MAG - The 52 best songs of 2011 - 1. 1+1 - "Our favourite song of the year, Beyonce’s 1+1 is a terrific example of this – it surveys the past of black music with imperial majesty, referencing more-than-explicitly Sam Cooke’s Wonderful World and Prince’s Purple Reign, re-imagining both as a sumptuous love-until-the-end-of-days ballad." http://www.dummymag.com/lists/2011/12/19/the-52-best-songs-of-2011/
