Why would she do that? Guess we’ll all know what to expect from the album before we buy it…

—— I heard the whole album…. It’s cool, im feeling a couple of tracks.

I Love the songs!

Hello is my favorite!! I wish I had a voice like that woman!

—— St8 off Limewire lol

IMO, the album is ok. There are a few songs that are GREAT but then there are others that are so-so. I won’t be buying the entire album.

I feel you #4… LIMEWIRE!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!

……I cant wait to see this go over 500 posts

The gold Wolverine claw/glove she rocks as Sasha is so fierce

I agree with the others, this album is pretty cool! It seems a little more personal than the others…. I especially love the footage that she posted on her My Space page. She is an interesting person.

I have heard the entire CD already. I will be buying singles. Go look on the myspace though. Does she know the album leaked?

……..it has some nice cuts, the rest, i’m sure will grow on me, Good job Bey!

I love Beyonce’s music, but I think she looks a damn fool when she’s in her Sasha Fience get up’s.

Huh? Why’d she do that?

Now there’s no need for me to pirate this album…. dammit!

It’s aiight. I hear maturity in her lyrics and her voice.

I liked it!
slow songs are on point,but the rest…Diva is Milly wtf?I hated Video Phone,I liked Radio though.and Sweet Dreams is my all time favourite track from that woman!

IT’S A OKAY ALBUM FOR BEY.

I have to be real with myself, this album is not what I expected. And lawd knows when the Beyonce’s camp promotes they take it to another level of over exposure. Everywhere you click there she is looking at you with this crazy ass new alter ego look. Let’s not forget that Solange is back on the scene after only selling 34,000 copies, now we have to see her everywhere again. Wow, what a way to start off your holidays.

Im deffo buying this album..GO mrs Carter GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

She deffo looks like a catwoman or something in that picture, shes so fierce especially with that glove!!!!

i’m diggin the songs…however, i question the choice to put them all on myspace…

essentially it really doesn’t matter though considering the album will most likely still go platinum+

I just listened to about 7 of the songs; 4 in which were “club bangers” and 3 standard ballad type songs. To be completely honest, I am not impressed with the lyrics or the sounds. A couple songs have hints of the same melodies and the words are a bit amateur for her age and maturation level. On her website she states that she has “put her heart and soul into the album.” If this is what her hear and soul is saying to the world, she better get ready for a lot of ridicule and embarrassment. I love Beyonce as a hip/hop-r&b artist, but now I am starting to limit her creative capabilities. She has remained stagnant for two years now. I will buy the album out of support as a fan and because the music industry sales are poor right now, but if she does not step up her lyric game; MEANING HER LYRICS AND HER LYRICS ONLY, she will have one less purchaser to worry about (and probably more musically educated individuals). Good luck with reviews

What’s Beyonce next single after ‘If I were a boy’ and ‘Single Ladies’? Is it Halo or something else? Does anyone know ?

It is cool I just miss the old Beyonce. I feel like she keeps trying to change who she is instead of evolving as an artist. She is on top but I need her to remember how she got there. Go Be I just want a milli or two. lol

I absolute;y love the ENTIRE cd…I do have my fav tracks “Halo”, “Ego”, “Diva”, “Video Phone”, “Sweet Dreams”, “I’m alone now”. Other tracks are good as well, I can really feel her on this record. I do feel this next level, and Bey bout to change the game again. Get it Bey!!!

@ #20…..I couldn’t agree with you more….It seems to me that she’s been creating songs lately that need video’s to back them up, versus the song along ( i.e. B’DAY). Her first album was the best by far. I will purchase the album also, simply because I’m a fan, but a lot of these tracks are very weak…

@ 10 , actually the whole album didnt leak just the STANDARD EDITION
and sony did a CLEAN SWEEP of YOUTUBE and LIMEWIRE yesterday
you wont find not one song of hers up there .

I will be buying this album , i dont think people realize she getting older and as you get older you change , i love the NEW beyonce. Its not one female artist out there that can do what she does .

NOVEMBER 18 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

radio will be a hit. i can hear rihanna singing that song tho….
the slow songs, i dont like that much.

…..she just lost sales by doing this …. thanks for doing it tho….
…… ill keep my quarter lol

I LOVE IT!!!! WHERE IS ”Why dont You Love me?” and ” Save The Hero” Beyonce looks so hott in that Pix

@ #24 Thanks for the agreement. A lot of fans and radio listeners don’t understand the difference between and artist/singer and a vocalist/singer. An artist generally writes their own material, and their material usually changes and gets better or worse each year they continue to create. For example, Beyonce would be classified as a singer/artist and sometimes singer/vocalist. She used to write all of her material but now she writes probably a small percentage…I bet that small percentage are those “club bangers”.. but those standards are written by numerous folk. A lot of times when people are just singing songs that other people wrote its hard for the singer to truly sound as if they connect…BECAUSE THE MATERIAL IS NOT THEIRS. Another example is Rhianna: great, pretty girl, but she would be classified as a singer/vocalist. Rhianna does not write any of her material. But she is turning into a great vocalist not because she can’t sing, but because she connects to the material very well. If Beyonce’s material isn’t hers, it sounds forced…primarily because she’s an artist first. If she just sticks to that she would be better off. I hate to have brought Rhianna into the Beyonce equation, but I’m just explaining my thoughts. There are a lot of great Singer/Vocalists out there (Whitney, Ciara, Jo Jo, etc). Karina Pasian would be an example of both singer/artist and singer/vocalist. Alicia is an awesome example of strictly singer/artist!

i dont like because there are only 1-2 songs per disc I like, the lyrics and melodies are pretty basic sounding, I like her last album better, this one does nothing for me

omg…. i actually like it…. like… reaally like it!! i wuz a bit disappointed by the previous singles but they are absolutely no reflection of the remaining songs on her albums. I might just go out and buy both, i said MIGHT! lol.

Im so over the hype that is Beyonce. NEXT!

The Beyonce side is really nice, and the extra songs on the deluxe edition are great! Sasha Fierce leaves a little to be desired. Anybody else would be laughed out of town for singing “Catch me on your video phone”… really, B?

My money stays in my pocket or on things I actually NEED and this I don’t NEED (or want).

Ok great! The album is gonna be already be saturated prior to release. Then, if it doesn’t sell like hotcakes…then what? SMH!

Beyonce album is OK. My fav songs so far are Halo and Ego. I know that the album will grow on me though

This picture is gorgeous.

Definitely picking up this album. Very cohesive and eclectic album. I like the fact that she’s expanding and taking risks with new sounds and not just playing it safe and boring. Being able to step out of your comfort zone and take on new challenges makes a great artist.Good job Beyonce!

YEA YEA, SHE PUT HER HEART AND SOUL INTO EVERYTHING!
GO TAKE A HONEYMOON PLEASEEE!

GET THE FUCK!
(CALL ME A HATER I DONT GIVE A FUCK NO MORE)

WOW ONLY 38 COMMENTS

i already have the standard edition and i thinks its just ok but i love scared of lonely from the deluxe edition i just want that one song 4get the rest and she wont top dangerously in love that will always be her best album

I have a ? Why do u people that dont like Beyonce why do u waste you time going to her myspace and listin’ to hear album and then leave comments on her everytime CL post something on her its so many artist on here u all just waste your time and leave it on Beyonce,Beyonce has more comments then Obama did and thats crazy hate her or love her its still putting eyes on her…. There some that dont like her but alot more that love her..The album is still going to sell with or without u…And where do u get off saying Ciara can sing or Rihanna they suck CiCi can dance and RiRi some of her songs are cute and shes pretty but singing thats off way off!!!!! Beyonce is Beyonce just Face its a hard job but somebody gots to do it Bee!!! She is the Queen and thats that at the end of the day all the hatin’ and everything u doing she is still Beyonce she is still going to be everywhere on every cover every Channel so get used to it cuz she is back u had 2 years with put her now she back so deal with it…

My faves are IIWAB, SL, Scared of Lonely, Broken Hearted Girl, Sweet Dreams, Disappear, Halo

I was a little skeptical at first, but after a full listen, I will be getting the deluxe version.

this women has nan a creative bone in her body. such a copy cat.

Disappear sounds like Cold Play, but im sure she is banking on People not noticing.
Diva sounds like Ciara
and I am reminded of Rihanna on more than one song
And no one who calls them self an Icon is an Icon, good luck with that while singing about pussy poppin’

The album is better than BDay but I feel like she could have put ten songs on one disc instead if this stupid marketing gimmick about self discovery and split personalities.

Its not that bad its decent I will even jog to video phone today but it says alot about the state of our music.

i am so in love with bey ..

i love the people that come on a bey post and hate on her lol..

bey is getting older u people want crazy in love still…i love the whole album and i will be buying not one but two deluxe editions on the 18th to make up for you people that will be stealing songs lol

bey will be around for a long time..i love this new sound..i cannot stop listenin to disappear and hello…i love radio as well…

gorgeous pic.

ummmm #4: mp3rocket.com too! lol

Scared of Lonely is a Standout proud of Darkchild

this is the best album i’ve ever heard inmy entire life. everything sounds goods

i’m listening to it. i’m glad she put beautiful nightmare (well, sweet dreams) on the album. that’s a hot track!

GARBAGE!!!

I’m sorry, but this entire album sucks ass in my opinion (both discs)! The Beyonce side is two types of BORING (most people like halo, but it’s mad boring to me). The Sasha side is just a HOT ASS MESS (no meaning, no growth, no nothing, just a complete mess)! This is definitely not the best album of the year…sorry beyonce fans, stans, etc.!

@Beyonce Fan #42: Rhianna, Ciara, and others of the sort are Vocalists: people who can learn the melodies/harmonies/lyrics good enough to sing them… and usually have a unique voice. Singers, on the other hand, can saannng..lol (Whitney, J. Hudson, Beyonce). That is their primary attribute first. These days “saaangers” have to to more than just sing…they have to connect to the song to sound convincing. I think you misunderstood my comment. I am a Beyonce fan as well. But this is a crtical critique of her music. I think she would appreciate an honest, well put opinion from her fans.

BEY!! I LOVE IT!!

England, I think, already has Beyonce’s cd released so it’s not like she did it directly before her cd was released. And some of y’all think it was stupid of her to put them on her myspace, it doesn’t really matter. Beyonce knows she has some die hard fans out there so they will buy the album regardless of it being all over Limewire, iTunes, or the internet. I already got most of the songs off Limewire yesterday but damn right I’m buying the album. Bey is my girl!

Her songs always score a 5/10 with me when I first listen to them but they end up growing on me.

*GASP*

WHERE ARE THE HATERS AT?!? ANYHOW, FEELING THE ALBUM, VERY MATURE AND VERSATILE.

*HEARS THE HATERS COMING,EXITS QUICKLY*

…….GET IT BEYONCE…..OMG I love this woman…and i love everything she does….

I LOVE SCARED OF LONELY, HALO, HELLO, EGO…..well all the songs minus Video Phone and Diva.

2 New Singles:

Halo
Ego (feat. Kanye West)

THE ALBUM IS HOTT..
I GUESS SHE TRYNA BE NICE…
SINCE ALOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LISTEN 2 IT ANYWAY

Like the promo pic too

This album was so garbage. I am amazed that anyone can say Bey has grown. There are only like 2 songs off the entire album, that I’m willing to download @ limewire.

What I don’t understand is, why can’t Beyonce just get better songwriters? Because its obvious that when she creates these albums from her “heart & soul”, we’re left w/ a piece of shyt album. This is so unreal to me.

I sincerely hope, that this is her last album. Please

WHY ARE PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THE ALBUM REMINDS THEM OF RIHANNA AND CIARA..NEITHER ONE OF THEM CAN SING..BEYONCE WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND THEM ANYDAY..WHY DO U THINK CIARA PUSHED HER ALBUM BACK??AND JAY Z WOULDNT DARE LET RIHANNA COME OUT WITH ANYTHING AROUND THE SAME TIME AS BEE..COME ON PEOPLE…COME SENSE..

Straight garbage. I am so disappointed, I can’t believe I actually was once a fan of this chick. She has fallen off big time. I am embarrassed for her. The whole CD sucks big time. I am really shocked that this is the finished product WOW
I am in college and all of my friends are like WTF? is wrong with beyonce. This ish is not hot at all. Period.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM….BROKEN HEARTED GIRL IS SO HOT!!!!!!!!!1 AND I LOVE “EGO” AND “HELLO” O YEA “RADIO” “DIVA” IS ANOTHER BANGER SHE ROCKED DAT BEAT!…LIL WAYNE WOULD APPROVE OF IT…I THINK EVEN WITH THE LEAK SHE STILL GONNA DO SOME BIG NUMBERS FIRST WEEK…. WATCH AND SEE….I THINK THIS IS HER BEST MUSIC…. NOVVEMBER 18 ALBUM IN STORES DONT FORGET…OOOPS I KNOW YOU WONT! LOL!

You people must really love Beyonce and are loyal fans because unless I was listening to the wrong songs, this album sucks. All of her previous work is far better than this one. I think the 2 songs she has already released are almost the best songs on the album. So that goes to show that her album sells will have nothing whatsoever to do with the actual songs.

THIS ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE!! THE BEST OF THIS YEAR and her best since Dangerously in love! I LOVE HER! QUEEN BEE IS BACK!

CIROC! you’re so stupid! it’s a demo… and it was created for beyonce at first…. when you don’t know, close your moth…

People dont understand these comments:

I will be buying this album , i dont think people realize she getting older and as you get older you change , i love the NEW beyonce. Its not one female artist out there that can do what she does .

NOVEMBER 18 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again if PEOPLE liked everything you do than there is something wrong, but since she is stirring up a lot of PEOPLE in the good and bad area it’s a good thing.

Just like I thought; IT’S A HIT…

Only Mrs. Carter (aka Mrs. Knowles) can accomplish this!!!

i agreee @ 70

NO FLOPonce’ #69.. It was not a demo. It was written for Jon McLaughlin.

If it was written for Beyonce, there is no WAY they would have let someone else record it. CHECK YOUR FACTS. HE RECORDED THIS LONG TIME AGO

I stand by my opinion, its not her best, its ok. Its one of thoes cd’s that you listen to every once in a while, and skip songs, and I hate that. Hate to compare but Alica keys is a great example of growth, if you listen to songs in a minor and As I am, its different sounds. It’s like Alica is a woman on that cd, and beyonce is just i dunno. It’s not her best but whatever, we in a recession anyway so my money will go in my tank. lol Not sayin I dont like beyonce I dig single ladies, but this cd just aint it for me.

ONCE AGAIN SHE TOOK SOMEONES SONG, CHANGED A FEW LYRICS AND TOOK WRITING CREDITS FOR IT

-OH LORD BEYOWNSAY LOOKS FAB:.
-HER CD AINT THE BEST BUT I THINK ITS KUTE.
-IT WILL TAKE TIME TO GROW ON ME.
-BUT I STILL APPROVE.
-SKERRED OF LONELY IS MIGHTY DOPE.
