It's a great song, and it sort of, but not completely, makes sense for the usage of the clip.
I'd understand the outrage if she'd put that sample at the start of Partition or Rocket...but it's XO...a song about loving before it's too late.
I doubt she could have used that sample without some sort of clearance.
XO is like the perfect song to use at the end of a cheesy romantic comedy. The female lead running in some crowded place to her lover and leaping in his arms for a passionate kiss while the "you love me like XO" bit blares in the background.

I mean, it at least has some sort of meaning. It's not like she was mocking it.
And most of the people suddenly saying they hate the song are only saying it because they think it seems right to say so now; they're like "Controversy? Lemme jump on the hate wagon". A mess.
BEYONCÉ is basically a sex tape with 9/11 video in the background and other insensitive references to all kinds of tragedies. This is the filth that receives "universal acclaim" these days. How far we've come as a species.
She had better used the footage of the helicopter who decided to shoot random Irakis to pulp, no one would complain, no one would care at least no one from the NASA who killed the Challenger crew.
The genius is, everyone will now suddenly run to Youtube to see what all the fuss is about.
Let's hope the controversy blows up.
Yep the GP is already flocking to youtube

The tragedy happened on my 18th birthday and I never guessed then that a singer would use the tragic death of 7 humans for his or her own profit. For some reason I have never liked Beyonce. There was just something about her that seemed so materialistic. I gave her the benefit of the doubt on numerous occasions, but never really felt her music for some reason. I'd like to say that this was a sign from god or some crap, but I am not a religious person.
I am glad my instincts were right and that she never got a cent from me. Shame on you Beyonce. Your soul, if there is one, is a most hideous color, and I hope that you die sad and alone with the realization that your money and fame revealed you for what you really are, a pathetic excuse for a human being whom I would not even let lick the gum off my shoes if you were homeless and hungry. Congratulations on your fame you sick punt.
