if i were as boy is kinda cool but single ladies sounds a little rushed! im not getting “BEYONCE” for her this time around!

BEYONCE

PLEASE!!!!!!

BOTH of These SONG ARE TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!

I’m so SICK of the HYPE!!!!!

A. These Songs are not CREATIVE!
B. Your Song writing is terrible.
C. This is not the direction that modern music is going.

Beyonce always pretends she is doing something special and it’s the same thing OVER AND OVER

YAWN!!!!!

POOR BEYONCE!!!!! THESE SONGS ARE HORRIBLE

The “If I were a Boy” is a remake! She sang it well though…I like it.

If I were a Boy is garbage, her voice doesnt mesh with the production of the song AT ALL, she’s purposefully trying to make a mainstream hit, DISSAPPOINTED is not even the word. sorry bey, but that single ladies joint is hot! u still aint got my Ciara, u may only do better because ure Beyonce. THAT IS ALL.

Love “If I Were A Boy”

The vocals are hot!!!

“Single Ladies” will grow on me, I’m sure.

But please remember, B doesn’t have to sell not ONE album. Thats not her goal.

I like both songs for different reasons

but I do hope her cd is alot better.

I liked if I were a boy, haven’t heard the original, but I thought it was simple, had a message and displayed some vocal range for her. Kinda reminded me of Flaws and all, which I really liked too. Would love it to hear it performed as an acoustic. As for Put a ring on it? Didn’t like it at all. Fair enough it’s geared more for clubs but I felt it was empty, she was hardly singing and the production was just a mess to me. No doubt both will be a success though.

Personally I would love to hear her music ‘maturing’ a bit more in terms of perspective and themes, a bit more like Alicia Keys or Mary J. I’m not saying she should emulate either of them; just I’d like to hear her be a bit more varied lyrically and maybe go for older markets. Of course she’s selling in the millions right where she is so…

Anyway, I’d like to hear more of her album.

@LOVEBEYONCE

You would not know real music if it hit you in the HEAD!

You STANS are DELUSIONAL if you think Beyonce’s new SONGS are anything but TRASH!

SHE’S BACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@256 No I’m not crazy. Got that info straight from the Camel’s mouth. Jayz that is. He was being interviewed on CNN about his faith and where he got Hovah from. I’m not judging nobody. It’s a blog. It’s a way I kill time between classes. Even fans of Bey admit the songs are ok.

If you’re a huge fan of hers I dont care. Be the best fan you can be. I’m not even though I like some of her songs. She is one of the most swagger jacking artists out there. She imitates so, so, so many other artists, (Jennifer Hudson with Listen, Shakira, Rhianna, Tina Turner, etc. I don’t have time to go through the long list) till she probably does not know who SHE is. Despite that, she’s still hot, but I believe the flames are gonna burn out sooner than she expects.

I have listened to both songs and they both feel like something is missing. I think maybe it’s because I expect so much from Beyonce. The “Boy” song is not my style, but I’m sure some people will love it. I was just really bored by it. She sounded great, though. As for “Single Ladies” I agree that the hand claps or whatever are very get me bodied-ish, but a good video should help this one grow on me.

Overall I wasn’t expecting these two songs as her first single choices. They don’t really sound progressive or different from everything else out there right now. When Deja Vu, and Crazy in Love came out they were both big, and had distinctive sounds that I immediately loved. I’m sure that the album will have huge sales and she will give great live performances..I just can’t wait to hear what else she has up her sleeve.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEED THE MARRIED WOMAN’S SUBJECT CONTENT TO STEP UP. I’M NOT CRAZY ABOUT EITHER ONE OF THESE SONGS. I’M SURE THE VIDEOS WILL BE VISUALLY EXCITING BUT, DAMN BEYONCE ALL THAT VOICE AND THE SONGS JUST DONT MEASURE UP. DC’S FIRST ALBUM WAS MORE MATURE IN NATURE THAN THIS STUFF. OUT OF 70 SONGS?

Again…I see yall are JEALOUS of Beyonce. At least be honest that u ENVIOUS of the woman. It’s so obvious. Why bother listening if u don’t like her?

Pathetic.

@279 Wendy mentioned the rapper is MARRIED and his WIFE is a red carpet glam and 50 would def want this tape…just listen to her words, but anyways she need to worry bout her damn husband

I don’t like either one. Single Ladies sounds dated. The other is too wordy. I can’t remember all those damn lyrics.

@ Chris

But you would know real music……RIGHT. Well we can argue all day..but clearly MUSIC is an art, and it is interrepted in difference ways. So whats ‘REAL” to you, differs from what is real to me.

Now, as far as Beyonce goes. You have posted a comment on every BEYONCE post that has come up…so ask yourself…..why????

Beyonce has your attention..as well as 300 other blogers.

Sneak peak of the videos for those who care:

http://www.sinternet.com/beyonce.html

Damn can we get some feed back like this on politics. Its soooo sad to read about you guys argueing over Beyonce and if her song’s have quality. Lets talk about the economy, and why is gas and milk the same price.

Beyonce is not paying our bills, and at the end of the day she will keep her job regardless of what you say. She can pay her bills and splurge on god knows what. While us “middle” class can barely get by. Get real people, who cares, it’s just music.

I love beyonce but I’m dissapointed. This didn’t do it for me. She has done way better. Come on Bey. Bring it. I don’t know maybe it has to grow on me.

These songs are cute. I’m really feeling If I Were A Boy, it has a lot of emotion in it.

Single Ladies is also cute, all yall ladies claiming it garbage no damn well that yall will be jamming to that in your car and be the first ones on the dancefloor in them clubs.

BTW, the comments speak for themselves. Chris sit yo’ hatin ass down. We all know how you stan over Ciara and Rihanna but claim Beyonce non talented, TALK about dilusional.

Love love love both of her songs def will buy

The choreography for “Single Ladies” is going to be fresh.

I think once you see a visual put to the songs you will like them better.

Alright B….I am so impressed with “If I were a boy”…and “Single Ladies” is classic B. All hail the Queen!

I didn’t like love lockdown when I first heard it.
Same thing with Ciara’s new song, I don’t like it either (but still don’t like it)

Over 300 hundred posts about one artist WOW. There are plenty of artist’s new sinlges that are featured here on CL and no way does thier new music post get as much traffic than said person. Whether you like her/her music or not she still got yours and many other’s attention she must be doing something right

Have a nice day (fan’s , stans and haters or whatever you like to be called ) Beyonce sure is

Oh I am just peeped the album title I am

it’s goes with her trying to be a legend I AM LEGEND

like a boy was rather lovely, single ladies is alright I s’pose. But i think every1 is waitin for Britney, black white, whatveva. I know I am

I’M BEYONCé BIGGEST FAN, i LOVE IF I WAS BOY BUT NOT REALLY FEELING THE SINGLE LADY I GUESS IT WILL GROW ON ME BUT I MUST SAY NEYONCE IS A VERY SMART YOUNG WOMAN, TWO RELEASE 2 SINGLE ONE MORE POP AND THE OTHER ONE MORE URBAN CLUB BANGER .. SHE KNOWS WAHT SHE IS DOING.. I CAN SEE IF I WAS A BOY DOING EXTREMELLY WELL

BEYONCE GIRL DO YOU, YOU HAVE BREAK SO MANY RECORD FORGET ABOUT ALL THESE HATERS OUT THERE AND CONCRETE LOOP YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST

its okay, sorrt b-day subjects.

Aw man, I love Bey and I am soooo disappointed. These songs suck ass! Damn Solange got her beat this time.

I don’t like either song but they may grow on me later….

loves both songs!!!!

@ 8 Baller

Thanks for that link

Single ladies, I see several of my sister-boys rocking it in the club or on utube, shaking that a$$ better then the girls n dropping it like its hot.

LOVE LOVE LOVE BEY!! AND YES I AM A TRUE FAN, BUT THESE TWO SONGS WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO GROW ON ME, AS DID CRAZY IN LOVE, DEJA VU, AND IRREPLACEBLE.

I love Beyonce but “Single Ladies” & that other joint just aint cutting it for me. “Beautiful Nightmare” should have def. been the single.

-Juice

ok… now i have to be one the biggest BEYNCE fans in the world… but i really don’t know how i feel about these songs… i mean “if i were a boy” is ok… i like the lyrics and the delivery but i can’t say that i totally love the song just yet but maybe it will grow on me…now… single ladies… it sounds like recycled “GET ME BODIED” and i love get me bodied but i don’t wanna hear a similar beat with different lyrics… i almost feel like the songs that were leaked previous to the singles were better… i.e stop sign,settle 4 u, beautiful nightmare, next ex, …. but non the less i still love B! and i will be sitting front row at the concert, and i WILL be at the record store on november 18th… but she has got to show me something better than this… maybe i need a visual to go with the song …maybe the videos will do that for me but for right now i think im gonna stick with the other B songs until the album comes out…… P.S bc jean did the reference for the song… she did not write or release the song f first, she just recorded it so that beyonce would have an idea of how the song should be recorded….almost every artist gets a demo cd b4 they record it… so get the facts straight b4 u try and bash someone…. just a little trivia for you….HOLLA! lol

I’m not feeling it. I just like when she says ” If you like you should put a ring on it!” thats the truth. But other than that I’m not feeling it and I love my Bee. I can’t wait till her stuff stop sounding the same and she takes time with her music. But of course she’s gonna sell so Good Luck chick!!

I like both songs. There so Beyonce’. And why in the world are people mad over opinions. It’s just music either you like it or you don’t. Some of the greatest songs are hated and some of the worst songs are loved. move on..

I’m really disappointed! I though she said that it was her more personal sound… is this it!

I just heard Single Ladies #4 on V103 countdown get em Bee

P.S bc jean did the reference for the song… she did not write or release the song f first, she just recorded it so that beyonce would have an idea of how the song should be recorded….almost every artist gets a demo cd b4 they record it… so get the facts straight b4 u try and bash someone…. just a little trivia for you….HOLLA! lol
**************************************************************************************************

Thank you I was going to say that

SUCKS! She could have done WAY better than these songs! People, you shouldn’t have to listen to a song a few times to determine if you like it or not. If it’s a hit, it’s a hit! THESE are NOT hits…more like MISSES! Aaaliyah said it best, “If at first you don’t succeed, DUST IT OFF & TRY AGAIN! She needs to dust herself off & start OVER!! WHERE’S NE-YO, Keri Hilson, Missy Elliot & Brian Michael-Cox??!! HELP THIS CHILD!! I think she let Solange’s little boy write these songs!! LOL

Bee is doing her thang I love if I were a boy and swinging to single ladies.I wish her much success with her albumm

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s not Beyonce that irritates me, it’s her sycophantic fans who salivate over her every fart. Now, I have to say I really like If Was A Boy… to say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I’m just glad I listened to it before Single Ladies as that song is exactly what I thought If I Was A Boy was going to sound like i.e. repetitive and unimaginative. That said, If I Was A Boy is territory Beyonce should consider making her medium ground as she sounds real for a change and it shows that she is actually capable of some soulful heartfelt restraint… the result is her voice is allowed to breathe and she sounds good. In conclusion If I Was A Boy = A+, Single Ladies = D-

I liked BC Jean version better than beyonce. It just fits her voice better for some reason. I would have rather Jean kept the song for herself than for beyonce to sing it.

Single ladies should have been on bday. Where is the growth as far as the music? I am sure with all her diehard fans who will slit there wrist for her will eat this up. I think she can sing but when are we gonna hear the growth in her music. Just because it is different doesn’t mean it is good for them . I understand with selling the song to beyonce gives this girl more cred so props to her but she should have kept it cause it suited her better.

These are pretty bad…

i will not bow down…sorry…
THEY ARE NOT THAT GOOD!
why does she always try to steal someones swag?…cough..*like a boy* cough…
SMH…COME HARDER BEEE!

Check this out!!! It is behind the scenes to If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, and her new album!!!

both songs are weak, next please.

Hi all. My first time on here - what’s good?
I agree with who ever said “If I Were A Boy” was purposely made for radio. It has that cross-over appeal, I can hear it on a wide variety of stations, from pop to soft rock, rnb to soul.
Beyonce is very clever!
And “Single Ladies” is good too. Have you all seen the video clips?

YES YES YES YES!

SINGLE LADIES ARE IN HEAVY ROTATION. THIS SONG IS GOING TO TAKE OVER. WATCH IT.

I HATE BOTH SONGS . I WISHED I LIKE IT BUT I DONT , SORRY I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO DROP BIG BIG HITS BUT THEY WERE REALLY BAD OMG THEY WERE BAD

I consider myself a Beyonce fan but I am not feeling these songs. If I Were A Boy sounds like a country song and I literally had to stop the other track half way through. Maybe they’ll grow on me but I doubt it.

#316
Thanks for the link! I don’t care what anybody says..Beyonce is a much better dancer than Ciara could ever dream of being. She’s got a perfect dancer’s body too… Unfortunately, I’m still not a fan of either song but I the visuals should be cool!

I’m disappointed. If I Were A Boy is a beautiful song, but Single Ladies is crap… I expected Bey to come harder than this. She gotta show these non-talented bitches that she aint playing and sadly I don’t think she delivered this time. Bey you can do better!

Sorry, haters but the vote’s in!!!

DJ’s are telling all the other R&B chicks to bow down to the Queen!!!!

It was smart of her to drop a pop and r&b single so they can spin on all stations. The thing is the r&b stations are spinning the pop song too!!

BEYONCE DID HER THING AND PEOPLE ARE ALREADY TALKING GRAMMY’S AND ARE MAD SHE DIDN’T MAKE THE DEADLINE.

The videos are fire too and the sneak peak of her other songs sounds like PURE BEAUTY. Can’t wait.

BEYONCE’S BACK!!!

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_mAueVTD4

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
