Beyoncé's video for her new single 'Run The World (Girls)' has made its debut during the American Idol semi-final.
Following the release of two preview videos, the full clip has now also made its debut online.
Directed by Francis Lawrence, who promised "one of the bigger Beyoncé videos ever done" to accompany what he described as an "unbelievable" song, the five-minute film opens with the singer riding a horse through the desert.
The revolution-themed clip also shows the entertainer leading a series of elaborate dance routines - including a dance-off against an all-male dance troupe - and features a number of wild animals including a lion.
I Am Legend and Water for Elephants director Lawrence previously worked with Lady GaGa on her video for 'Bad Romance'.
Beyoncé's new album 4 is due for release later this year. She will headline Sunday night's programme at next month's Glastonbury Festival.
