I’m gon have to slam em both. I think lyrically they are cool but the songs themselves…boring. Idk..bey is talented but i’ve nevr been able to buy any of her solo/non solo albums. but i’m happy for her fans that shes bak.

I’m going to say SLAM both…..I don’t think Beyonce is doing her best nowadays….maybe it’s just me, I don’t know.

I don’t like “If I was a boy.” I think Beyonce is trying to change her image, but she has put to much effort and time into the types of songs her audience expects, so I don’t see this one getting much airplay. The second one is typical Beyonce. Lyrically, the boy song is stronger, but I am not a big Beyonce fan, so I don’t see myself running out to get this CD.

YES HONEY!!! Beyonce is the real deal! I mean, I can COMPLETELY relate to “if i were a boy”. And “single ladies” is already gonna be bumping in the club when I go this weekend. I already know. Queen Bee, you def. did your thing and you gonna have the girls DYING!!! Yes girl! Can I get a snap for the kids!

once again these songs are going to be a worldwide hit…and i think this album is going to be probably the biggest success for her…i say jam them both…the lyrics from if i were a boy are amazing…almost made me cry and I AM a boy…and the other single is a great catchy dance song…her album is going to do really really well despite the economy…i think this album is going to stimulate the economy in my opinion. B’s the best! Right up there next to Michael.

SLAM THEM!! Is this what she’s been working on the past year?!?! This sux big TIME!! NOTHING NEW! “Single Ladies” is exactly like “Get Me Bodied” and “Boy” is HORRIBLE! I can’t stand all that screaming! Poor Beyawnce! Britney’s new song and Pink’s “So What” are MUCH better then this boring crap.

Sorry, I hit the key to soon….I was going to say that I like her version, but I actually prefer BC Jean’s raspy sound on the track much better.

Both songs are just WRONG!! I don’t want to be up in the concert listening to her sing either of these. Naw she need to remix them both. She knows better.

LOVE IT. Music that sticks out like a sore thumb. Her new direction is heavily appreciated and needed.

I loved both of them!! I think If I Were A Boy is gonna be a pop charts smash definately! That audience is so gonna eat that song up.

By: MsSapphire9800

MsSapphire9800 — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 23:58:08 +0000

SLAM…both of them…WTF…all the hype for this shyt, damn.
If I Were A boy was on youtube… BC Jean, so we know she did not write, co-write or anything..just redid the song.
I am a fan but I expect better….

By: STAR

STAR — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 23:53:44 +0000

We went down this road with Dangerously In Love and ESPECIALLY B-Day.

They will be in heavy rotation soon and loved by MOST.

You can never please every one.

B has sold albums so its not even about that anymore.

Do you B. Loving “If I Were A Boy”. The vocals are HAAAWWWTT!!!

After seeing the sneak peek of the “Single Ladies” Video, I’ll be loving it when it drops as well.

THE QUEEN IS BACK!!

Hate if ya want but ya wasting ya time~~

im not a fan but if i like her songs i’ll say so, but i dont like neither one. maybe the video will help the song out.

By: Divaish

Divaish — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 23:02:05 +0000

WACK….WACK…WACK….WACK…..WACK…..WACK…..WACK!!…

OK…i hope that’s seven it might have some supernatural make her GO AWAY…powers..im so tired of HER, HER WEAVE, HER MAMA, HER GOD AWFUL SISTER……..She should have stayed with her GROUP….

ps…like a boy…Sounds like a reject Rhianna song….OOOOPS….RHIANNA IS TEARIN HER A NEW ONE!

By: Janelle

Janelle — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:43:08 +0000

I’m not feeling this new stuff…I think she needs to take a break and learn more about herself. She needs some better material. She’s not a teenager anymore, and this type of stuff isn’t working anymore.

Don’t get me wrong, I like B, but this is gargage…to the left, to the left!

Alexis — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:09:16 +0000

I really, really like Beyonce. Reality is, it doesn’t matter if I like them or not (and I kinda DON’T by the way), today. The songs will be overplayed and I will know all the words to both the week after they are out and then I will swear they are the jams. That’s just how you got it when you’re Beyonce. I hated Get Me Bodied and, guess what? I can now drop down low and touch the floor wit it, with the best of ‘em!

By: Brandon33

Brandon33 — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:02:12 +0000

SLAM IT

I’m sorry, and I love Beyonce, but that shit was WHACK.

One – “If I Were A Boy” Is NOT Beyonce’s song. It was recorded by another chick who sounded soooo much better on the track. I’m sorry, but Beyonce has soul, but not the kind of soul that goes with country music. It just sounds stale and lifeless. B-Scott, you should post the original version. It’s on Toya’s blog.

Two – Single ladies is trying too hard to be the next “Get Me Bodied” but it just doesn’t hit hard enough.

All that hype over nothing. NEXT Beyonce. You’re better than this…

Robi — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:58:02 +0000

I heard Single Ladies on the radio. It is garbage. I like Beyonce, but this song is absolute trash. I expected so much more from her. She can also keep that slow track. I really want her to go back in the lab and create some hotter material. She can afford to hold out until the Summer of 09.

BOTH SONGS ARE GARBAGE!!!!!!

POOR BEYONCE!!!!! I WANT TO GO HIDE IN A CORNER FOR HER!!!!! WHAT A SHAME…I AM SO DISSAPOINTED and trust me I can’t stand writing in ALL caps!!!

((((((((SIGH))))))))

I am a huge fan but Im loosing interest in her as an artist…Im upset because she’s too talented for this mess she put out…Im like no man…I know these are not the two singles her fans and haters been waiting to hear!!!!!

((((((((SIGH))))))))

Hayyyy — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:35:52 +0000

I’m guessing people don’t like these songs. I think Bey needs to step her game up, just a little, especially because of Britney Spears’ “Womanizer”. She should use these 2 songs as promo’s and choose another song.

I think “Single Ladies” is the JAMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
“If I were a Boy” NEEDS, I repeat, NEEDS to grow on me.

By: BeyoncezHubby

BeyoncezHubby — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:25:19 +0000

Okay, I listened to them over and over. Single Ladies has grown sooo much on me!!!
JAM: Single Ladies

but..

Stil gotta SLAM: If I Were A Boy

By: John

John — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:06:44 +0000

Unlike other people i’m a true fan so whatever beyonce puts out i’ll most likely love…i wanted to be surprised with whatever B was going to do so i had no expectations…and honestly when i heard if i were a boy and listened to the lyrics i almost started crying…the words were so touching and i feel like most women could relate so therefore i don’t understand why everyone is disappointed. I would say Jam both if i were a boy and single ladies cause truly to me they are going to be a worldwide smashing success!!! Keep doing your thing B this Shit is Absolutely AMAZING…you truly have grown artistically which is what we were all waiting for.

snarky — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:29:06 +0000

Slam. I’m tired already and had to turn that boy shit off after about a minute. I’m trying to stay awake here.

And Single Ladies…no commment.

I’m tired of Bey Bey.

Ja'Leesa B — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:09:00 +0000

Jam!!! Single Ladies!! Even though it kind of reminds me of “Get Me Bodied” but it’s a club banger for the single ladies.

Slam!!! If I were a Boy!! Omg it’s a boring version of Ciara’s “Like a Boy”! Hate it!

By: Jubielicious

Jubielicious — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:57:07 +0000

I love Beyonce she can do no wrong with me so i love :”Single ladies” and “if i were a boy” is ok but i know i’ll be blasting it ina week.

By: Tyron Glascoe

Tyron Glascoe — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:44:36 +0000

“Single Ladies” is a guarenteed banger!!! She’s doing something different and not following trends. I love it! “If I Were A Boy” was actually better then I expected! JAM IT!

By: Ken

Ken — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:33:45 +0000

Love single ladies… If I were a boy will have to grow on me

By: BeyoncezHubby

BeyoncezHubby — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:31:35 +0000

Damn, slam ‘em both!!

Beyonce!! I was expecting so much more. I am a huge fan do NOT get me wrong, and I’ve never NOT liked a Beyonce/DC song. I have all the albums, posters, dvds, books, everythangg!! But damn Beyonce, I’m not feeling this new sound. Maybe I’ll get used to it (i know I will), but for right now, I gotta slam boo. I never in a million years thought I’d be saying this…

SLAM!!!!!!!!!!

By: Jose Resendez

Jose Resendez — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:04:35 +0000

They are “okay”…but just remember that these singles are up against Britney, Ciara, Christina, etc. I expected much better from Beyonce. I prefer the leak: Kick’em Out.

I like them, I didn’t 100% like DeJa vu at first but it grew on me and became number 1! Like everything else she does:) I cant wait to see the single ladies video.

By: Jorgie

Jorgie — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:42:23 +0000

Hopefully she pushes “Single Ladies” more. IiWaB is trying too hard to be a “Irreplacable” hit. “Single Ladies” has that JAM like “Get me Bodied”. LOVE IT!
