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!
sinternet.com shows choreography of “single ladies.” it really makes the song a lot more interesting.
Nice songs.
LOVE IT OR HATE IT
EVERYBODY ON BEY’S NUTS !!!!
GET EM VIRGO
As of today i stepped from stan to hater
I tought she said the album was personal and reflective?
Single ladies?If i were a boy? Is she unhappy? I can’ t stand up for her anymore
I feel like she only come to her fans when she wanna sells, she is a money
hungry whore and i’ m not buying a damn thing! beyonce think she so the shit that
she can put whatever the fuck she wants and we all going to run and buy it ?
Not this time home girl
I m so disapointeds in her Rihanna and them untalented b-0tches should sing shit like single ladies
damn beyonce is stronger than that
And if i were a boy is a cover, who releases covers [unless they are legends] as singles? What is happening to you bee?
Did jay z cockiness rubbed off of you? Where are you girl? and why do you look like you have some extra cake on your head?
an dyou wanna tell me you spent time on that shit?
B-tch please! I loved you onc ebey but you are becoming something else n i cant follow u
Sorry
im with 140 too
To all the people saying that they are Beyonce Fan…..
Give the songs a second listen…they will definitely grow on you. I was playing the sogns, and on the second cycle…I was like “Damn B…you did that”. Tryst and believe, beyonce knows EXACTLY what she is doing
I am a Beyonce Fan. But again…here’s another overrated album just like BDay.
Not denying her talent or her voice but making “music”, she hasn’t done that yet.
I’ll pass. Where my real music makers??? Alicia Keys, Mary J, new crooner J. Sullivan. Lets get it.

ENJOY FANS!
Single ladies is WAY BETTER THEN The SLOWER VeRISON of LIKE A BOY! The song title and lyrics was ALL CIARA song she should just did a remix to Like a Boy if she loved it SO MUCH TO JACK IT!!! Man CIARA VERISON is A MILLION Times better! You can groove to it and the Video KILT! But Single ladies is nothing SPECTACTULAR Either its like Get Me Bodied WATERED DOWN!!! BIG NO NO BEY!!! I thought she would kill on these HIGHLY Antacipated GARBAGE SOnGS!!!
URGH
“If you like put a ring on it” SEriously so Kiddy! For her to be SO over a POP STAR!!!!
I know video will bring Single Ladies. But 70 songs and these the one you choose to lead! NAW GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN!
She got to much heat to have these MEDIOCORE SONGS!!! I EXPECTED MORE FROM HER!! Britney is Killing it with Womanizer, TI, Kanye, Pink, and Christina all killing it on ITUNES and Billboard ( which singles are WAAAYYY Better then Beyonces!!) And Ciara with her new VIDEO OMG! That will boost GO GIRL TO THE TOP!!! THAT VIDEO Is the best this YEAR!!! I could only see Britney maybe out doing Ms. Ciara!
I know the Beyonce stans gone attack and I dont care! Cus its to much COMPETITON for her to be SLACKING Like THIS!!! GET IT TOGETHER BeYOnce!!!
It was already fear that Rihanna is Replacing her and now Ciara Britney and all these other artist are killing it too…so IDK I hope for the best, cus I dont see it happening!
tO EVERYONE THAT SAYS THAT THE SONG WILL GROW ON US
THIS IS BEYONCE HER SONGS ARE SUPPOSED TO HIT YOU AND STAY WITH YOU NOT GROW ON YOU!
I love both of these damn songs. So all you haters can fall back and get like the rest of us!
hey yall I just head that song IF I WERE BOY in the voice of a teenage girl called BC JEAN!!
They say its originally HER song and not B’s??
thats quiet surprising…and as much as I HATE saying this but the girl’s version is better
EXCUSE ME STANS! No one is jealous I love Ciara, Akeys and Beyonce!
Now Imma tell it like it is! I want Beyonce to Succeed and this aint cutting it! Just like Ciara if her single isnt the strongest we know she always gone make up for it for the killer VIDEO! Awesome entertainer one best of our time!
Akeys- She always deliver
Beyonce- Great Entertainer but these songs NO, She cant entertain on a boring song thats a reject Ciara Like A Boy, which is better in my opinion! Single Ladies – If Get Me Bodied didnt blow What in WORLD makes you think this WATERED DOWN VERSION will do the trick?!?!!?
I wanted more and expected more SURE AS HECK wont attend her Concert or cop the album until I hear something better!
yeah sadly I agree these songs sound real rushed, single ladies sounds like a song from her last album you know tha one naomi campbell walk….do the scissor legs whatever it was….. not impressed at all give someone else a chance for pete sake Ha for pete sake who says stuff like that LMAO
uh people if you haven’t heard, there is a new queen in town and her name is Jennifer Hudson. As for If I were A Boy, (the whole damn concept has already been done by Ciara). and Single Ladies is just awful. She has yet to recreate that Dangerously in Love magic and we are all still waiting. I love the fact that you have other ladies doing it big in the industry and these two singles are almost forgettable. Anyone who is on here trying to fight for Beyonce’s title is a die hard fan. I love her just as much as the next fan but face it people she has yet to serve that sophisticated intellegence that’s expected of a 27 year old woman who has been in the game for over ten years. You know what I’m talking about, just listen to her little sister’s album and that will make it clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, SO I am a DIE HARD Beyonce fan. I love Beyonce, but I am not feeling these two songs at all. What the hell is going on? I feel like she’s rushing another album. She was supposed to be on a “break.” A break isn’t releasing an album last year and releasing another this year. There has been no break and I think that’s what she needs. I’m positive there’ll will be BETTER songs on the album. These 2 were not a good selection…eww
These songs are okay, they would have to grow on me though.
in addition, i’m not a fan of Rihanna’s voice, but I am a fan of Rihanna and the way she’s stepped up her game. Her album is down right amazing, and trust this haters, when she drops her album next year, Ms. Beyonce will produce another baby (album) that’s close to her heart that she worked so hard on ( in other words, beyonce despite her talent is very competitive and can’t stand the idea of someone outshining her in anyway. “If I were a Boy” is a clear example of that. Rihanna,musically is giving Beyonce a run for her money. And Jennifer Hudson, and Jasmine Sullivan have the vocals covered) LOL eat that haters!
“If I were a boy” has to grow on me, but “single Ladies” is cute
If I Were A Boy, sounds very folksy. Like RnB mixed with James Taylor. It’s not bad at all.
lol @ radio playing it every 4th song.
Yaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnn!
Not great. Tolerable, at best.
Sorry!
I BET EVERYONE CRYING ABOUT THE SONGS NOW, THEY WILL HIT #1 ON THE CHARTS! THE MEDIA IS EATING BOTH OF THEM UP!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_mAueVTD4
BEyonce can just give it up. IT’s Rhinna’s time now, although i’m not a huge fan, it is what it is
OMFG!! She’s back! Now let me go and listen to her tunes, I know they are hot!!
aargh, this isn’t a MAC friendly link. oh well, i guess it’s not that bad, i should enjoy these last few moments of beyoncelessness cause once they’re officially released everywhere beyonce mania will be unleashed.
Bow DoWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i were a boy…wow im speechless…amazing!!! she truly out did her self once again get it gurl!!!!!!
hatas sit down yall know yall love it!!!
The songs are really ok. Britney’s album is going to be bigger though.
both of these singles suck!
if beyonce was to burp into a mic you stans would think it was just fabolous!
She fell down those stairs during that tour!!!!! And she is gonna fall down again with these singles! I try so hard to like her but these songs are terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!! O no O no O no O no no!!!!!!!!!!! BC Jean shoulda kept that song, but maybe she knew it would have this effect on B career…hmmm wonder if it was all a plot lol
BC Jean is the original songwriter and performer of this song. The original is so much more AMAZING. Look her up. Beyonce does a nice job, but I think the girl who wrote and did the song originally is creative and extraordinary. Don’t get me wrong, at least the song is being heard, but it sucks when an artist who doesn’t even write their own material gets credit for it.
Both songs will have to grow on me but I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! I expected so much more!
Both singles are garbage. I commend her for stepping out there on “If I were a boy.” It had potential when she first started, but as soon as she started screaming the hook, she lost me. Nice lyrics though. I totally agree with you #388.
OH SH*T!!!! I AIN’T EVEN A B FAN LIKE THAT, BUT THAT SINGLE LADIES?!!!!!!
OH SH*T!!!!!
TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE SAYING BC JEAN WROTE THIS SONG – YOU’RE WRRROOOOONNNNNGGGG!!!!!!! She PERFORMED it. The writers of this song are the same people who wrote BIG GIRLS DON’T CRY.
GO TO ASCAP AND CHECK BEFORE YOU POST A COMMENT MAKING YOURSELF LOOK UNINFORMED (#390 – LA LA).
HATERS, STOP WASTING TIME TRYING TO DISCREDIT BEYONCE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T.
RADIO AND EVERYONE IS LOVING BOTH SONGS AND THEY SHOULD BECAUSE IT’S FRESH FIRE. Beyonce’s version is amazing and Single Ladies is already being talked about being on spin in the clubs by tomorrow, if not tonight.
I’M GLAD BEYONCE’S BACK BECAUSE SHE’S REAL TALENT.
I’m not really feeling the single ladies one, maybe it’ll grow on me. If I were a boy is hot. I’m still excited to see what B has up her sleeve this time around.
Ok yo SO tis is it. BEYONCE BACK everybody going crazy rite now. I think the songs are diffrent i like “IF I WAS A BOY’ thats a nice track. tats another worldwide hit. but i luv the Direction shes going in.
. U can tell by her voice that Its like every girl has to become a woman. Her and her Man Gonna kIll this year. at first when i heard i was like Ok tats cute.lol
But when i listen to it againg and againg i was liek this is a nice job Bey did.
If i was a boy Is my faveorite song. TIme to get my website up Now.

You can tell Beyonce tore the paint off these songs because the haters don’t even know how to hate. Stating facts that aren’t true or just plain saying craziness.
You ain’t gotta like Beyonce, but you can’t deny her talent.
And you wonder why she has more fans than haters…. GET ‘EM BEY!!!!
LMAO – whoooooooooohhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People who hate on Beyonce kill me. First they talk mess about Single Ladies because it reminds them of something that she has done in the past (Get Me Bodied and Freakum Dress). Okay okay, I agree, but then she does something totally left field (If I Were a Boy) and people hate on that. That song sounds nothing like “Like and Boy”. I’m confused!! I’m tired of posting, but I people are killing me. Single Ladies will be blaring in the clubs this weekend and people will be chanting “Put a Ring on it” and If I were a boy is already tearing up radio. As for Bey stepping up her game, she will, just wait. As I mentioned on another post, these single are doing what they are suppossed to do. Get people talking, create buzz. And its creating a lot of buzz. Look at comments about the songs on every black and non-black blog site.
And to the Ciara and Michelle Stans, Beyonce doesn’t need to wait to put out a single just so it doesn’t conflict with their videos or albums. Thats not the way competition works. They should step up their games (because they are both talented) and compete w/ Bey!!!
Get ready ya’ll….alot of ppl doubting her business sense…her creative being…this chic is DANGEROUS!!!! Watch how it all plays out…the chic knows what she’s doing…you don’t get this successful, loved and adored by millions on luck..no mam….no sir!
Check out the behind the scenes of her video shoots…HA she gonna blow our minds and yes I LOVE BEYONCE
http://www.beyonceworld.n...res/2008/BehindTheScenes/
Remember some ppl slept on her with De Ja Vu and what she do…took us by storm with her other songs…
She’s very smart…it will be a commercial success for sure. I didn’t get it right away and I listened to both songs again and I said she’s smart because what she’s doing is pleasing everyone from all angles…r&b, pop, hip hop and dare I say…country.
God Bless you Beyonce…you are doing exactly what God intended you to do and I plan on doing the same.
Instead of hating on Beyonce…UPLIFT her! I believe if we all were living out our own dreams…we would understand and appreciate that she is being true to herself…are YOU!?!
I AM!
see you all soon.
leslie arnelle
DAMMNNNNNN!
QUEEN BEE HAS STUNG!
WATCH OUT NOW!
i love it all.
i just love it.
i love beyonce.
LIVING LEGEND.
RTFO people coming on here writing letters to explain the dreadfulness that is this overrated b#tch!
signed,
rightful HATER!
Middle finger to the HATERS. Im jamming to “Single Ladies” already!
I can’t continue to read these comments about Beyonce swagger jacking. 1. If I were a boy sounds nothing like “Like a Boy.” 2. SHE DOES NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT RIHANNA. They are on 2 different levels, Bey on the higher end. Thats like comparing Bow Wow to Jay-Z. C’mon. I can understand if people don’t like her but saying she is trying to copy rihanna is insulting on so many levels!!
The songs didn’t grab me at first, but I KNOW the album will be fire. These songs were not designed to move mountains. LOL But its garnering buzz for the album, which is clearly working. If haven’t seen this many comments on a story for CL in a min.
If she would have waited to release the songs for michelles album and ciaras video to do what ever, that says more about them and their talent than Bey. Time to step up their game if thats the case.
# 394 (Wake up goofy) BC JEAN! Did Write Like A Boy … opps I mean If I were a boy. The people from Big Girls PRODUCED IT GOOFY!!! Single LADIES has the best potential but STILL IDK It is SuPER WEAK Compared to Get Me BODIED now that SONG Is blazing and still is! Thats why I SHAKE My head in SHAME! Cus she just WENT BACKWARDS NOT FORwARDS!!
Yes Beyonce has vocals, but they dont make the song! Its everything. Now The Like A Boy Rip off and BC JEAN song If I were A Boy should just have been released as a BONUS TRACK. SO SHOULD HAVE SINGLE LADIES!!!
Ciara Video GO GIRL IS BLAZING! Im like UH OH Ciara is back and with the FIRE!!!
Beyonce not so much this time around and these singles do sound RUSHED. That’s why I say Bonus tracks at BEST!
IDK What happened to Beyonce but it sure as heck NO IRREPLACABLE(I still jam to that song every day!) and LIGHT YEARS AWAY from CRAZY IN LOVE ( Which made me FALL CRAZY IN LOVE with Beyonce as a solo artist)
GET IT TOGETHER BEYONCE!!! Cant let the WHORISH MoM Britney Take over I’d Rather see BEYONCE and CIARA ON Top this time around then Christina Augerlia and Britney!
rihanna fans and stans don’t have nothing to worry about. her weakest song(say it and hate that i love you) are way betta than beyonce new songs
#406 LOL wow, true but no on the VOCAL LEVEL of the Like a Boy Reject. Yeah the vibe and just chrisma of that song is BETTER Then this one. Heck I even love Ciara GO GIRL better then THIS and I know thats her weakest song ever! At least the video, which is CRAZY and best this year!!! Makes up for it and the vibe of the song is so mellow and groove to it. It is radio friendly.
Cmon Beyonce I hope videos deliver the songs1!!
THESE SONGS ARE A HOT MESS…..HER ALBUM WILL FLOP
THERES SOOOO MUCH COMPETITION OUT THERE…SHE NEEDS TO STEP HER GAME UP ON THE MUSIC SIDE AND STOP FOCUSING ON ACTING
THE ALBUM WILLL FLOP…….
“If I were a boy” sounds horrible and corny!!!! Wow! That was horrible!
Damn both songs are horrible! Ya’ll have to be real fans to like either one of those songs! She has fell off hard! She need not release either one of those songs!
Hottttttttt!!!!! Love bee… Single Ladies is cool! I love both singles! Can’t wait to buy this album!
All of the good comments are coming from stans! sorry but she Sucks and so does those recycled garbage can songs. Can beyonce go sit her fat ass down!!!!!!!!!
DONT LIKE IT!

The Beyonce era is going to be off the chains!

ASHANTI
BRANDY
and Beyonce at times but she won’t do good this time around IF HER album drops the 18th. srry
Srry How^^^
SHE’S GONNA SELL MILLIONS!!!
soo i advise you haters to pick ya face up off the floor right now!!!
HER ALBUM WILL DROP THEE 18TH!!!
NO IF’S AND’S OR BUT’S!!
I love Bee all her past albums I have and listen to now on a daily basis but, I’m not really excited about her new music If I’m not mistaken Ciara came out with a song called Like a Boy with fine ass Reggie Bush in the video and the song was about the exact same thing!!! Single ladies is ok I think it’s going to have to grow on me. I’m really hoping that the rest of the album is better….
WOW…I fuckin love “If I were a boy”!!!!!!!!!!!
But “Single Ladies” has 2 grow on me…But its very catchy tho…
Yeah Too much like Ciara and too much like Get Me Bodied!!! Where is her Growth!??!
Nice vocals thats about it! But same vocals as other songs again why should we be so HYPED for this nothing REFRESHING NEW, NO GROWTH or anything. Just hope the Album delivers becasue these arent cutting it. Should have saved this for bonus tracks on the BDAY album!
