Damn…B puttin in work huh…

She looks really good …looks like a pro active ad lol

Looks good…

Reminds me of a Sade album cover. Cute tho.

The second pic looks like Vanessa Williams. Good look

BeyonceIs beautiful and chipped up

THE COVERS ARE BEAUTIFUL… I CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM…… 11.18.08!!!
LETS GO GET EM’!

Looks like Rodney Jerkins wouldn’t let them yank him for his writer’s credits and I’m sure they tried.

This is beauty at it’s top form. To be this beautiful with no makeup is phenominal.

Beyonce EGO , and Behavior show’s me that she’s , trying some thing , after that low rated Trashy Video , and the Message of that song ,, Single Ladies… that song -SHOWS BEYONCE INSECURITIES, and shallow goal’s , that she’s trying to pass ON to a generation of Young Black ppl,,,,,,she’s not driven , she’s insecure and OBSESS with Her EGO .

I am Joining the BOYCOTT.

I like both of the covers and can’t wait to get the album. I see that artists are now taking the creative road by not having any collaborations. This should be interesting.

If you look at all the songs it’s crystal clear that Beyonce never writes songs, she just added to the list. No hater, but a leaning fan.

she looks real good in those pics (am I only the only one not feeling the font they’ve used? it cheapens the cover)

I’m a bit sad to see “Beautiful Nightmare never made the album”

I see someone who jacked Sade for an album cover.

And before the haters hate, I know she has makeup on. But I’m really addressing the fact that she’s not all glamed up…like, this is a large step away from the Dangerously In Love, B’Day Beyonce we all know. I’m proud of her for embrassing her natural beauty.

llove natural bey

KEN YOU MUST BE A RIHANNA STAN.. BEYONCE has way more success and can sing wAAAY better than FIVEHEAD.. Rihanna is only known for crappy songs like UMBRELLA, DISTURBIA and PON DE FIVEHEAD……

cant be mad @ her. honestly. gon head, grrrrl!

#10: you mad she didn’t sign your t-shirt backstage or somethin?! lmao….j/k

#10 needs to relax and enjoy the music. I f you don’t like it then don’t by it…all that talk sounds like jealousy.

I cannot wait til the record drop… B has alot of talent.. hate on… if you dont like it just ignore it

Come on people!!
Just because your make-up is done in natural tones DOES NOT mean you don’t have make up on.

Any who!! I do appreciate Bey this go around. The BIG hair, extra make-up she was rockin for soooooo many years was getting alittle tired!!

Looks like an old Vanessa Williams cover. This girl is finding it harder and harder to be original everyday. But regardless, she looks beautiful. What I’m not happy about is the fact that the original version only has 11 tracks. Why are her albums so short? I’m not too fond of paying 18.99 for deluxe albums, and I’m assuming the original version only has the “Beyonce” side huh?

So you telling me she wrote all them songs but 1 get out of here please. She look plain to me nothing to go crazy about. Single ladies song make me want to do the patty cake with that kiddie beat. I was waiting for her to come out with some mature music. But i see she still doing this kiddie songs.

I’m not impressed with either picture, nor her first two tracks, and no I’m not a hater, I’m just being honest, I usually like her but I’m not feeling it at all……..

Can’t wait untill album drops I’m getting both love her !!!!!!

80’s vibe! Very nice Bey. I love when artists keep it simple and real

Bey is officially boring. Marriage is not good for her so far.

….i like both covers.
….not everyone who sings can write, and not everyone who writes can sing,
….its a blessing to be able to do both, but we need both singers and writers.

IF you do not support Beyonce or her music, Don’t buy or listen to it then…MOVE ON!!!

lol y am i dying over here over “boycott” lol stop, you’re killing me.
eff that single ladies track, thought her new album was supposed to be new material, that song sounds just like get me bodied. Video’s so annoying too, it has potential but the dance moves seem so contrived.

I’m not a hater for all you beyonce faithfuls quick to write this off as typical “hateration”, I’m just being real. She’s a married woman, and not to classify her material to focussing now on married life, but why so many single- lonely- depressing songs B? I’d really like to see her evolve into a better songwriter- cuz many of her songs lyrically are trash! She can sing, she can entertain, she’s pretty, and a few of her songs ARE well written minus the fact she tends to oversing, the majority of them just happen to not be. I’m only given props where props are due.

Guess that’s what happens when you sell your soul for profits.

But, I’m just saying…

Covers look great. She does look lovely with minimal make up.
I must agree the idea is not original, she wants to show that she is mature all and all. But jacking Sade, Vanesa william and etc is not very mature Bey.
But i am not too excited about this project…
she said she wrote/ recorded 70 songs why only 11 on the ulbum?????

These covers are nice. I actually like them, but those track listings with her names all over them is very false. It has already been proven that “if I were a boy” was written by Gad and BC JEan, but I guess because she’s Beyonce nobody cares. I’m sorry I can’t support fake artistry and paying to cover other people’s names instead of simply giving them credit. She can sing and dance her butt of so why feel the need to take credit away from writers? I’m glad Rodney didn’t play the fool like others. He’s already rich so he can care less about someone trying to pay him off. I’m glad Neyo made her bite her tongue when she went in front of thousands of people saying how personal the song was and she worked really hard in writing it..when she didn’t write a thing. Say what you want stans, but yall know it is wrong.

Both covers look like something i’ve seen already, and technically Beyonce didn’t write if i were a boy.

I don’t like the fact that she has the bracelet on w the cross while she is half naked on her cover. The cross is not meant for that.

LOL at #29 “Keri HIlson’s Release Date” That ish might never be out

Cosign #23, it seems like all albums are 10 tracks, even though this is a double disc. I like Bey but I will NOT be buying this. Youtube is my friend!

Why does Bey always bring out the worst/craziness in folks?

Anyhoo, I expected more from the Sasha cover……but all that matters is the music. Hope she doesn’t disappoint

Hey KayKay

She looks absolutely gorgeous! I’m am really feeling the simplistic look she is going for this era. Looks like she’s loosing the over the top image, and just coming fresh faced and simple! She really looks great! Can’t wait to hear this album because I am feeling the two singles that have been released so far!

OK BEYONCE

Watch the supposedly folks “who don’t care” will be camped out in this thread for hours!LOL

qu’est ce t’es belle mrs carter. CLASSE + ELEGANCE = NATURAL BEAUTY
i’m waiting for new album in FRANCE

Beyonce and Sade album covers are similar the differents.
Sade look very natural with little or no make-up…Beyonce is not all that natural, more like a natural diva. She looks air brush and she is wearing a ton of make-up.
Saying that….BEYONCE and SADE, both represent theirself and image well.

Missing you, SADE please come back!!!!

trevor shakes his head and sighs…. he wonders to himself, “if these people really dont like beyonce, and they’re even contemplating boycotting her album, then why constantly read posts about an artist that u “allegedly” hate and despise?”

……I like the album covers. And I LOVE BEYONCE work ethic. She is just like
……WOW!!!!! I wish people really knew how hard this woman works.

…..And stop saying Beyonce music doesn’t have substance. DAMN

…..Single Ladies is for the club…she knows that.

…….And the reason her name is after most of the songs is becuz she co-prodices
…….most of her songs.

.

I don’t understand the reason behind all the hate. It’s okay to dislike, and move on, but some of this is really uncalled for. It’s not that serious…and what the heck does Rihanna have to do with any of this? Two different artists, two successful black women, be happy for them! It’s okay to like both, or one over the other. Get it together black people!

As much as I am dreading Beyonce overload for the next 6-8 months, I have to admit that she’s looks hot on these covers. She is such a beautiful woman!!!!!!

But she is biting Sade’s black-and-white album cover!!! Sade looked so damn good on that one…I forgot what year that album was released. This is real talk from a woman!!

These comments are hilarious!!!! Sitting here eating my lunch I’m I like wow! Haters and Congratulaters! The look isn’t original. Very pretty girl but so overrated. She is human just like the rest of us. She just has money and makeup artist to make her look good on the regular. I’m not feeling the new tracks see got out. I’m let my cousin get it and I’ll listen to it if I so feel. I mean the songs are different but just not the different I’m looking for.
Best Wishes to her and Jay! Support Black Marriage!

People!!!!! Reading is fundamental. Unless someone from the Loop would like to clarify, the names that are listed beside each track are the PRODUCTION credits…not writing credits. Yes your girl Bey dabbles in production. We all know BC Jean wrote If I Were a Boy, hell it’s on her myspace page.
Let’s read. Just saying…

lol…I just read some other comments…and plenty of you agree that she stole Sade’s album cover. But Beyonce does not have Sade’s thick full lips!!!! Sade’s lips were so damn plump on that cover…LMAO!!!

and by that I mean that Sade has the most beautiful lips in the world!!!! Sorry..but Beyonce will never have those lips

Wow, I’m mad that it took 34 comments before someone gave props to Miss BC Jean. Stop The Madness. While I definitely bow down to the jelly-shakin abilities of Queen Bey, I cannot believe that she is truly stuntin to this degree. Not even a MENTION of BC Jean in the songwriting credits to “If I Were A Boy”?? Mind you, it’s the SAME LYRICS, SAME MELODY. It’s one thing to take someone’s beat, it’s another to just take their steez or words, but to have them BOTH and then claim you worked sooooo hard writing songs…. The fact that BC Jean wrote that song and B makes no mention of her makes me raise my eyebrow at all the other songs she supposedly “wrote”… *smh*

Sorry to be on a soapbox CL, but I mean, I’m just sayin….

THOSE ARE PRODUCTION CREDIT NOT WRITING CREDITS

BTW, shouts out to The Bama Boyz who have a track on the album. They’re my Line Sister’s people!!! Congrats!!!!!

……LMAO @ someone saying that on Sade album cover, she wasn’t wearing
……make up. Is you blind??? I kno, jus needed something negative to say about
……BEYONCE

STOP HATING ON BEYONCE!!!
IT is not becoming!!

Ima buy this album up….!!! LOL, so please quit hatin and postin those stupid Boycott things…
….Beyonce’s album is gonna be the hottest thing out! And I can’t wait to buy it and listen to all those bomb songs.!

@53….those are the song writers in parenthesis, correct!!!! That is the standard format for listing songwriters…according to Billboard. At least I thought so.

With that being said….are you telling me that two dudes wrote “Single Ladies”….Tricky and the Dream???? Why do males always write the hottest female anthems!!! I wonder which parts Beyonce wrote?

THE PICTURES DOES NOT MATCH THE SONGS. I LOVE BEYONCE DON’T GET ME WRONG, BUT SHE IS A MARRIED WOMAN AND THE COVER LOOK MATURE AND THE MUSIC IS …KIDDIE….
I LIKE THE SONG THO, MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WERE DANCING TO IT. GET MY POINT!!! BEYONCE HAS MOVED PASS THIS POINT IN HER LIFE. LEAVE THIS MESS UP TO RHIANNA SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

Go get michelle williams ablum its really great sumthing new if u like beyonce u must like her I mean come on guys its areally gud ablum love her so much I surrport michelle in bee they both wrk hard michelle worked so hard on this project guys go pick it up the greatest in lucky girl I love it I just dnt understand why bee get so much guys you just all over here tht song is not really nothing quit makeing it what its not put a ring on it be forreal she laugh in her sleep in say look at the fools buying a song I just threw togeth michelle I love u u will make it lve u get a new mag prom team to they suck

She should always wear her weave down. Up-doos are a no no for someone with ears like hers.

Go get michelle williams ablum its really great sumthing new if u like beyonce u must like her I mean come on guys its areally gud ablum love her so much I surrport michelle in bee they both wrk hard michelle worked so hard on this project guys go pick it up the greatest in lucky girl I love it I just dnt understand why bee get so much guys you just all over here tht song is not really nothing quit makeing it what its not put a ring on it be forreal she laugh in her sleep in say look at the fools buying a album I just threw togeth michelle I love u u will make it lve u get a new mag prom team to they suck

Yes, those are clearly the songwriters names that are listed in parenthesis. Because all know damn well that Solange don’t produce no music!! She’s a writer

Good Lord, even these very simple album covers have the HATERS baying for blood. Let me guess, is one of them wave in the sea behind her a bit crooked??????

Always picking faults out of the smallest things. Typical ABW’s, making us look bad. If LOSERS like KEN or ASSHOLES wanna “boycott” Beyonce, feel free. Would have been much more effective if u didn’t actually post on here. I mean, how can you be really boycotting her if u STILL READ her posts?

Haters are just pychotic. They’re the ones who posts on Beyonce more than anyone, and common sense would say they shouldn’t even be looking at Beyonce if they aren’t fans. Clearly Beyonce IS important to them.

that looks like the cover that vanessa williams did for one of her cds…..I doubt I coping these cds this go round cause her songs suck….I don’t get a r n b feel way too much pop

I don’t agree with #49…those have got be songwriting credits!!!! Since when was Beyonce and Solange trained on Pro Tools and Garage Band???? I don’t think so…next!

ok, so I just realized that the covers are for the standard and deluxe editions, not for the individual albums

Sorry I got it mixed up…those are production credits. So what part of “if I were a boy” did she produce? Just a question because the song was already through full production and writing before they bought it. Iono someone who knows about the music world can probably explain to me what it means to produce a song….I really wanna know

SHE GAVE HERSELF WRITING CREDITS IN PLACE OF BC JEAN!!!! Are me eyes deceiving me??? That is the shadiest sh*t ever, man!!!!! SMH! #*%& She’s already a bit old (2006 at the latest) and then there’s the whole Rihanna thing so she didn’t need to give people any more reason to loathe her, but…she does!!! SMH some more!! Well, just for that I’ll be brutally honest about these pictures, not only is one a straight up knockoff of one of Vanessa Williams’ old covers (this is already circulating on blogs), they also work to dispel the fact that she’s one of the most beautiful women in the world. She isn’t even extraordinarily pretty…Thanks for the heads up, Beyonce.

****Get em Bee that is my girl and I am out before it gets crazy

im going to check out that halo song JUST because my boy ryan tedder is listed. that man can write. i still jam to apologize and stop and stare ALL DAY

I swear READING is fundamental. Those are PRODUCTION credits not Songwriting credits. Relax, BC Jean’s name is listed on ASCAP as the writer.

THEY ARE PORDUCTION CREDITS NOT WRITING CREDITS PEOPLE. READ THE POST BEFORE YOU COMMENT

i bet bey stans think these covers are hella original and cutting edge when they’re actually a throwback cross between SADE and janet LOVE WILL NEVER DO

Honestly, I think Brian wrote the writing credits wrong. Cause if you look on every other site that lists the credits, she isnt credited for “If I Were A Boy”. As well as a couple other songs on the album. I think Brian just typed her name in every song for the hell of it.

GET IT TOGETHER BRIAN!!!!

^^^UM, barely anything is original these days. All them hip hop producers constantly sample old tracks on their beats—is that original?
