♫ NEW MUSIC: BEYONCE - “IF I WERE A BOY” & “SINGLE LADIES”
Wednesday, October 8, 2008

The much anticipated singles from Beyonce have finally leaked - “If I Were A Boy” in tagged form, and the uptempo dance track, “Single Ladies.” The two singles are set to impact radio next Tuesday, while Beyonce’s third project titled I Am… will drop November 18th.
“If I Were A Boy” is a pop ballad, which finds Beyonce in a sweet spot vocally, and is produced by Toby Cad (”Big Girls Don’t Cry” for Fergie), while the Tricky Stewart and The Dream-produced “Single Ladies” feels more like “Get Me Bodied,” and will be service to urban radio. I must admit, this new material has me quite excited, as well as the statements that have been released by producers and Beyonce herself. Can’t wait to see what Sean, Rodney and Timbaland have done for her.
Check out Beyonce’s MySpace and stay locked to CL for more updates on Bey’s project!

I think single ladies sounds like a watered down, less dancey version of get me bodied!

I am a BIG Bey fan, but I don’t like “If I Were A Boy”, but the lyrics are tha truth!
Yep @ Brian, “Single Ladies” has that “Get Me Bodied” feel to it.
Come on Bey! You can do soooo much better, and I’ve seen soo much better! Damn, I’m disappointed.

YES! SHE’S BACK!! I’M LOVING THE FACT SHE’S COVERING ALL FORMATS, SMART MOVE. DEFINITELY LOVING THE SONGS. SHE’S IN TOP VOCAL FORM. AT LEAST WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SING THESE SONGS LIVE UNLIKE SOME OTHER FEMALE ARTISTS WHO CAN’T SING THEIR SONGS LIVE.

Don’t like her version of IF I were a Boy. Single Ladies does remind of Get Me Bodied too. Not feeling neither one.

While neither song is an instant hit for me, I really appreciate “If I Were A Boy.” I have a feeling this is the song that means more to Bee, while “Single Ladies” is more of a safety net. I like the former better though. I will be buying the album regardless!

I really like “If I Were A Boy.” Has a popish feel to it, but the lyrics and vocals are great.
“Single Ladies” reminds me of “Check On It.” It’s fun and catchy - “If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it.” Guess Jay FINALLY got the message…LOL!

They both suck 2 me! If I Were A Boy is kool, but it’s mediocre at best. Single Ladies is GARBAGE dump!

I was expecting something even more different than Bday. Single ladies is reminiscent of get me bodied.
I do hear the growth.
And I’m shocked to say myself, i love both of the songs.
I got a new track to listen to on the treadmill: single ladies.
31.
Go girl
Wednesday, October 8, 2008 /
At # 20 Yeah its about get to heated up in here.
Both songs are ok minus the screaming. Just what you would expect from Beyonce. I never listen to the radio but since she’s back I’m for sure never turning it back on. People go crazy for Beyonce too damn hard for me.

I’m the world’s biggest Bey fan but “If I were a boy” is BORING as hell!! The lyrics are cool-needs a different track-I almost fell asleep on that one! Single ladies is ok but i’ve heard better (and similar) from Bey. I’ll take “Beautiful Nightmare” over BOTH of these tracks. Maybe “Single Ladies” will grow on me, but I can’t get with that other one, especially since me (and Bey) are well beyond messing around with “boys”. High schoolers will probably love this one but I moved on to MEN honey!!

“If I Was a Boy”- Hate this song, hate the concept of the song. Next time do a song that is not like any other song that came out before ( Ciara-” like a boy”)
“Single Ladies”- okay, but this song reminds me of “Get My Bodie” I thought she just got married, why the fu*k is she talking about single ladies, WTF?
I so prefer Solange music over her music

This post is going to reach 200+!!!! Single Ladies reminds me of Get Me Bodied and I’m not feeling it. If I Were a Boy is just okay. I’m not feeling it either, but vocally she sounds great.

Beyonce is so over rated both songs are not good. She only got far due to her looks and the sex she sells in her videos and the tours she have done. It’s time for someone else to take the stage and make the money. She and her husband need to give their lives over to the Lord. Because everything they have they both will loose and God is seeking for their souls to be saved like many others. Happiness will never come if they don’t except God in their lives.. beyonce is a demon possessed entertainer like many of them.

well, immo have to hear the songs a couple of more times to really know if there great songs. my first opinion though is bey might have t o prepare herself for a dismal “usher comeback”!! i not to impressed on hearing these songs the first time around. but i still LOVE myself some bey!

I love how she is changing her delivery and her approach to songs about relationships. Practically every R&B song is about relationships and changing the approach to it is welcome. Great job B. Looking forward to the album!

I know the “If I Were A Boy” Song will grow on me. I just was expecting something more from Beyonce. I mean it’s hot but I just expected more. That Beautiful Nightmare song was my ish and I really just expected more. I mean her voice sounds great as usual but this ballad needs something idk.
Single Ladies idk bout this one either. Come on Beyonce! I was really expecting more. I mean but how did she really expect to top Get Me Bodied and Irreplaceable. I know she wont dissappoint but even so come on B!

I am truly disapointed. I don’t know if i’m going to buy the new CD. I will have to borrow someone’s CD and listen to the rest of it before I spend my money. And since these are the singles that means I have to be tortured and listen to them on the radio for the next few months. Ugh!

Didn’t Ciara do “Like A Boy”? That song is OK. The second one stinks. I’m kinda over Beyonce. She’s slightly over rated. She’s trying to hard to be an icon…and it shows.

The black stations will play her songs in heavy rotation.
But, the white stations are gearing up for Britney’s comeback. ABC is releasing Britney’s new music video this coming Friday night. I just feel that since Beyonce is so over being a “pop star” that her sales may suffer.

It funny how i rememeber post about “Deja Vu”…saying it was wack…she was screaming..blah blah…. And then her FIRST DAY album sells were 200,000 +
So lets remember, if you are a Beyonce fan…Beyonce will never disappoint you. If you didn’t like before…you not going to like her now. So no matter what she does..if you hate Beyonce, you will continue to hate her.
