It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO unbelievable BEAUTIFUL and flawless!!!!!!!!!!!!! And her VOICE THERE!!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA DIE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEAK IN FULL NOW plz!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

This ONE video ALONE HAS MAKE MY STAN ON AGAIN, and DEFINITELY RESTORED MY FAITH!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEYOND EXCITED i can't describe the feeling NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW QUEEN BEE WONT LET ME DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:eek: better than i expected, good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great, love it!

I cant hear it, although the music did stream, why :cry:

Seriously the song is amazing, i am listening for the first time and i am amazed!! This is my fav Beyonce song, damn.

I wasn't impressed with first listen

WTH is she thinking?

Where's the club banger first single?!

Why is she straying from R&B?!?!

^ It`s a great song. Better than any new crap!

Yezzirrrr i love it. She did that demo justice.!! Bee && obama win own 2008.!!!

WTH is she thinking?

Where's the club banger first single?!

Why is she straying from R&B?!?!

Single Ladies is her club banger and i think we got ENOUGH of that on B'Day...that CD stayed in the club

Well , the song is good but the thing is that is always the same her singles are good (at least the dangerously in love ones) but the rest of the album is full of ****

Better than i expected :eek:

Seriously!!!! I cant stop listening to this song!!!!!!!! Over 43th spins already!!!!!! Im SERIOUSLY having a HEART ATTACK rite now!!!!!!!!!! This is pure perfection!!!! Seriously, Bee voice is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO damn amazing here!!!!!! I'M ABOUT TO LOSE MY BREATH!!!!!!!!

i want the song :)

This is bad. She's whaling through the whole song like she's Christina Aguilera & its not even catchy or like one of those songs that you can sing along to. Flunk.

^ Predictable bitch. :toofunny:

If you want the song, search it yourself. It's hidden in my posts. (http://rapidshare.com/files/152016404/if_i_were_a_boy.mp3) :clap:

The song is amazing!!!! One of the best this year can't wait 4 the video!!!!

THE BEE IS BACK :worship::worship::worship::worship:

I love this SONG!
Her Voice is Amazing..Of Course its Bee
I'm super excited for the Video NOW!! :yay::yay::yay:

This is pure magic...u can hear the sincerity in her voice...im not that big of a Bee fan but this song eats it...LOVES IT!

generic :-/ not catchy but relaxing and she's matured

I'm not trying to hate on purpose but I mean, do ya'll seriously think this is as OMFG AMAZING!!!! as you say? :confused: Obviously it shows she's matured but that doesnt make it good imo, its a boring song that shows off her vocals which sound like she's trying too hard. Its almost as annoying as when Christina does it. :-/

It sounds dull even for an album track, i cant see this being a hit

+1
it's more boring than Me, Myself & I

+1
it's more boring than Me, Myself & I

+2

For me, it's exactly how Delicious described it. We don't need ballads. We need club bangers!!! Can't wait for Single Ladies to come out if it's gonna be one!!!

The song ssucks effin' ****. It's horrible. I can't stand it. !!!!

^^ ha its oke !!!

Its a good song but a terrible comeback single. This is the song thats supposed to make everyone take notice??

Beyawnsay needs to stop taking career advice from Solange.

i think beyonce may have found a hit on her first single, this will not only satisfy the teenybopper fans, but the r & b faithful, and most likely draw in more mature listeners as well. This is a very nice ballad, yet has climatic upbeat moments to still intrigue listeners!!!!

It's gonna take a mind-blowing video for me to be convinced this is a good song cuz I just don't see it.

Oh come on don`t be so selfish and admit it`s a great song. I am not a big Beyonce fan and i did it! The beat is excelent and it`s gonna sound great on the radio.

The chorus is stuck in my head. It's a nice song :)

zshare anyone?

it's a nice song, but like everyone said, it's not a good 1st single material :o

LOVING this! Cant wait to see her occupying the #1 spot on Adult Contemporary and Urban with different songs at the same time...shes a machine!!

Oh, BTW Power 105.1 in NY played Single Ladies...DAMN!

DAMN!!!
I just miss it, I hope they play it again

Someone gimme this song??

boring.
bland.

COMEBACK SINGLES:

1.Womanizer
2.Keeps Getting better
3.Right Now(Na Na Na)
4.If I Were A Boy
5.Love Lockdown


thats the order i rank them in

Anyone have the lyrics please?

I really like it. It's beautiful but obviously not a mid-tempo as exciting as "Irreplaceable" to be released as a lead single. I'm really annoyed by the fact that she's releasing two singles. It's desperate.


Anyone have the lyrics please?

The lyrics are on the same page

http://z100.elvisduran.com/pages/news/beyonce/

listened to it twice and i think its beyonces 3rd best song but that really isnt saying much. CRAZY IN LOVE and IRREPLACEBLE were a hell of a lot better! Britney just whopped bees ass

Why can't we support artist instead of attacks

i didn't like it... song is quite boring. good luck cause i think this is a weak lead single.

I love it! :)

Definitely adding it to my iPod!

You guys are missing the point that this single won't come out until late October, early November. By that time, people don't want to hear fast upbeat club bangers. A soft subtle song for the winter-y times is a good idea. Besides, if this flops, we have Single Ladies which is a club banger.

i didn't like it... song is quite boring. good luck cause i think this is a weak lead single.

same here.

good luck to her.

The song is ok, but I don't think it's first single material or even single material AT ALL.

This song is HAWT..very good joice fot the autumn/winter time, i love this song..
And plz people...the most boring song released this year was that OVERHYPED "TAKE A BOW" from rihanna...
I don't wanna start a fight between Bee & RiRi but TAB was undeserved #1, IIWAB is much better than TAB and deserve the #1 spot...

If I Were a Boy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Take a Bow

i think beyonce may have found a hit on her first single, this will not only satisfy the teenybopper fans, but the r & b faithful, and most likely draw in more mature listeners as well. This is a very nice ballad, yet has climatic upbeat moments to still intrigue listeners!!!!

Very true, while it may not be a hit with tweens it will do well with a more mature audience. It's a good song that's radio friendly. It's not a plastic/generic sound so most likely it won't be a huge hit. Nonetheless it's a quality song with some depth behind it from a real artist not an autotuned robot.

I love the song by the way. I also listened to single ladies and I hate it, sounds a mess.

THE BEE IS BACK :worship::worship::worship::worship:

I love this SONG!
Her Voice is Amazing..Of Course its Bee
I'm super excited for the Video NOW!! :yay::yay::yay:

YES! :worship: I ****ing love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it more than Single ladies too.

This is about as overrated as "Womanizer". It's OK. I prefer "Single Ladies" surprisingly.

give it a few spins... i think most will change their minds. this song is a grower and a smash!!!!!

Beautiful song. I love it :D

I think this will have the same slow burning effect that BGDC had....I know its a tired comparison just because the same guy wrote/produced it, but I think the essence of the sound is the same and the appeal will grow much the same way...cant wait to see what they did with the video!

Love the song!!! Sang it bee!! They ain't ready!!

I'm not trying to hate on purpose but I mean, do ya'll seriously think this is as OMFG AMAZING!!!! as you say? :confused: Obviously it shows she's matured but that doesnt make it good imo, its a boring song that shows off her vocals which sound like she's trying too hard. Its almost as annoying as when Christina does it. :-/

It sounds dull even for an album track, i cant see this being a hit

The difference is that Christina has done ballads many tims before and they tend to be one of her best songs.



This song is good i like it but it seems a tad contrived to me

I don't like it :( The whole concept of the song is stupid. And a less interesting version of "Like A Boy"

Really not a 1st single material but it's a really good song...maybe with a good video, I would love it more

Yeah, so it was the **** demo. :shakeno: Her vocals are nice, but it's boring. But it'll still be a hit on urban/AC/Hot AC, and most likely pop.

And again a sad attempt to rip Fergie. Step back Bee, you can't do it. At this point this will be the first Bee album I don't buy, tired of making mistakes.

the song is GOOD :D ..but it got nothing on 'like a boy'

..but still not 1st single material :o she need to make a new sound, her songs always sounds the same, can she reinvent her sound??

This is much better than the demo (like I said it would be)

Why can't we support artist instead of attacks

because then this whole site would be up in smoke if we were all drones and agreed with everything...i live for the debates it's what makes this site one of the best thread sites. ppl ain't afraid to say when some **** sucks and u can best believe that the ones that love it will be on the ball

I don't like it :( The whole concept of the song is stupid. And a less interesting version of "Like A Boy"

Like A Boy was a HORRIBLE SONG!!!! in fact i was disappointed in Ciara's last effort so lets not compare the two jus cause of the name sake

I like it but I was expecting more, I'm a little disappointed. It's obvious this is not a good first single choice, what is she thinking?

^she's not thinking

I think this will have the same slow burning effect that BGDC had....I know its a tired comparison just because the same guy wrote/produced it, but I think the essence of the sound is the same and the appeal will grow much the same way...cant wait to see what they did with the video!

It will probably do that. I personally found it to be boring but won't be shocked when she's #1 for yet another 10 weeks -_-

Why does marriage seem to foul up every superstar female's career decisions? (Britney, Mariah, Beyonce)

I like it a lot. Not the most exciting song ever, but it's mature sounding and her voice is pretty, as always.

I wanna throw up listening to this. :-/ Bee? :-/

Why does marriage seem to foul up every superstar female's career decisions? (Britney, Mariah, Beyonce)

Because they all think they're complete all grown up women and are ready to take wise decisions.

Like A Boy was a HORRIBLE SONG!!!! in fact i was disappointed in Ciara's last effort so lets not compare the two jus cause of the name sake

Like a Boy is one of the hottest R&B songs of 2007.

Like a Boy is one of the hottest R&B songs of 2007.

on the charts....yea but i just couln't get into it ugh! that whole album except Promise and So Hard but i pray she gives me something like Goodies on this next album but back to Beyonce.....so i've listend to the song for liek 10 times now and im bored of it...i like but it gets boring real fast

^ Slow song usually does that. Tho I love "If I Were A Boy" SOOOO much I have put it on repeat non-stop! <333333333333

But yeah, this song is like WAAAAAAY better than "Single Ladies". Honestly, I hate to admit this, but I'm kinda disappointed with "Single Ladies". I expected SO MUCH better. God, it hurts me for me to say that. Forgive me, Beysus. :(

It's terrible lyrically, and her voice is bit much at times for such a mellow song. The execution of this song is wrong, but the music is simply great!

I don't like it much. "Deja Vu" was a much better lead single than this track.

I can't stop listening to it! It's a hit!!

amazing vocals...but not that impressed, should've released an uptempo song and not a ballad, but eventually it'll grow on me..

I liked it better after a 1st listen..I actually think radio will like this. It's nothing special though.

Ok . I LOVE this song now. It grew on me. :worship:

Both singles are now up for listen.. I don't know if everyone knew that or not.

I think both songs are GREAT by the way, but is it me or could anyone notice the hint of country in Single Ladies.

If I Were A Boy is a great song.

I liked it better after a 1st listen..I actually think radio will like this. It's nothing special though.

Radio will eat this up

i love it. her voice is amazing . cant wait till it becomes available on itunes cause im so getting it. this is going to go to #1 for sure.

Both singles are now up for listen.. I don't know if everyone knew that or not.

I think both songs are GREAT by the way, but is it me or could anyone notice the hint of country in Single Ladies.
What the hell???? that ghetto mess GMB part II song has a hint of country????

You probably mean that Texas Bull horn. I love that sound tho. That's like the only thing I like in "Single Ladies" rite now.

I don't like it.

It's boring to me.

Boring...:(
I was expecting sooo much more:(:(:(

SHUT UP YOU ****IN ******* STANS.

Anyway, it's confirm that Bee's 3rd album titled "AM I", and it's only include 10 SONGS!!!!!!!! I mean just 10!!!!!!!

Seriously, I'm like SOOOOO mad rite now I can't find the best curse words to throw out here!!!!! The album title is so ****innnn' crappy, and generic, and it's not even deep cause Alicia already got that first, and now people will compared that **** title to Alicia, and out of zillion English words she chose this awful title "Am I"? EWWW!!!! SOOOOO ****in' cliché the album title!!!!! I really should log off for a while, cause I'm like so pissed to the max rite now!!!! And technically we only gonna get 8 new songs cause we already got the horrible **** "Single Ladies", and the epicness "If I Were A Boy". I'm SOOOOO disappointed with this new era already!!!!!!! i'm all stanned out rite now. :( :( :( :(

:lmao: Dead Psycho is having a breakdown, obviously As I Am is a real masterpiece and Beyonce will never top it

Amazing Song! Just for the first verse I knew this would be great!

I'm so going to buy her CD loved it

SHUT UP YOU ****IN ******* STANS.

Dead Psycho's breakdown. :dies:

OHMY****INGOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!! My stan level just went BACK TO IFINITY!!!!!!! ohmygod!!!!!!!! A one behind-the-scene video can CHANGE my whole mind WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my can u say.....
Schitzo....
Bi-Polar....:shakeno:

"I Am"? :toofunny2:

I loved the video....but SHE IS GOING TO FLOP.

Now its a risky thing to release two singles at once for any artist, but two under-whelming singles is even worse. I can't see both of these being massive hits, and I LOVED B's last two albums, bought the original, and the re-release of B'Day.

I love "If I Were A Boy"! It is something really different. She's different from the other chicks, who're releasing right now.. Britney and Christina have similar songs out. Beyonce is doing something deeper with "If I Were A Boy". Can't wait for the video! Very emotional song! I LOVE IT!

wow that first ballad she sings in that video you posted is gorgeous
Which would have been a much better single choice.

Bee. :!ohno:

I loved the video....but SHE IS GOING TO FLOP.

STFU Xtian! ;) The song is great!!!! I can't 4 the video and the album!!!! The Queen is back!!!! :D

Can someone give me this song? Pretty please...

Grammy Wars: Alicia Keys Beats Beyonce
Wednesday, October 08, 2008

By Roger Friedman

Oh, what a good Grammy fight there could have been for Best Song and Record: Alicia Keys’ “Superwoman," undoubtedly a nominee in both categories, almost had some real competition in many categories.

On Wednesday morning, our friends at Z100 in New York unveiled Beyonce’s new single. “If I Were a Boy.” And the news is: It’s Beyonce’s best record ever in her career, a total smash, an unexpected coup. You can hear it at http://z100.elvisduran.com/pages/news/beyonce.

But "Boy" missed the Grammy deadline by eight days, and we can only wonder why. Certainly this single was ready to go on Sept. 30 in some form. It’s just Beyonce singing, very straightforward for once, no nonsense. It shows off her amazing vocal chops and establishes her as a singer.

The song is written and produced by Toby Gad, who accomplished a similar feat with Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” another smart ballad with a terrific melody.

Could the delay be thanks to Alicia and Beyonce being in the same record conglom? Quite possibly. Because of the Sony-BMG merger, both singers are now under the same umbrella, the new Sony Music Entertainment. And they’re not alone. Jennifer Hudson is there, too, with her new self-titled debut album. So, too, is Leona Lewis, who’s had a gigantic hit all year with her single, “Bleeding Love,” also a very likely contender in the same Grammy categories.

Not only that: All three of these women — Alicia, Jennifer, Leona — have albums vying for Best Album and Best R&B album, not to mention Best Female Pop (or R&B) Vocal Performance. And they’re all on Sony. Something’s gotta give. Of course, Keys' album, “As I Am,” is the most likely to make it all the way and could actually win the top honor next February.

All of that leaves Beyonce out in the cold at the Grammys, even though by February, “If I Were a Boy" will have been a huge hit for four months. But that’s the problem when mergers put several singers of the same ilk all together in one place.

Of interest: Take a look at Beyonce’s black-and-white picture on the Z100 page, in which she’s wearing no makeup. Seems like the marketing ploy on this new album is to strip her away from the glamour and glitz of “Dreamgirls.”

Not only that: We’re about to get another blast of Beyonce when she plays Etta James in the Chess Records movie, “Cadillac Records,” set for next month. I’m told her rendition of “At Last” will blow us away. (Still, check out Phoebe Snow’s famous live cut from the '90s with the New York Rock and Soul Revue.)

Meantime if you want to see a consummate singer songwriter, check out Keys’ performance of “Superwoman” from earlier this week on “Live with Regis and Kelly” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J_ux_taJng.

PS: Let’s not forget that Sony has one person to thank for Alicia, Jennifer and Leona: Clive Davis, who made these women stars on his J Records. If Clive gets to put on his pre-Grammy dinner and show this year, it will likely be his best ever!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,434361,00.html

Is this really Song/Record Of The Year Grammy material :confused:

I can't CALM DOWN!!! cause everything about this new era is SOOOOO efffin bad and disappointing already except that "if i were a boy". The rest is trash, from the cliché generic album title, to the greedy tracklisting they gave us (they are such a pathetic loser bitches giving us 10 tracks when bee record 70 mutha****in SONGS!!!!!! i want them ALL!!!!!), to the black/grey promo pics(I mean just eWW how ****in' awful is that, did yall see it! that "iiwab" cover is sooooo tranny!!!), to that shiitty atrocious GMB part II wannabe.

oh, and my bad! The title is called "I AM" and it's even more identical to "as i am", except much much much²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² awful, and unoriignal. i'm gonna log off now, i need a rest..... i'm gonna get my stannin back later when i'm online again!!!!!
What if she has only 10 songs, i mean WTF? It better be 10 good songs instead of 20 crappy ones. And a title of an album isn`t the most important thing! You know, i can say a lot of people here doesn`t like P!nk (and not just here, everywhere), but she always delivers, same as Beyonce. Calm down and be happy for her, at the end she is your fav singer, and she need your support even in the bad times and eras. And i am sure not everything is like it seems. If i were a boy is a great song ;) Enough said!

Deja Vu ?:rolleyes:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Im gonna Die. omg I'm gonna cry tears of Joy.:sosad:

It's amazing

The Bitch is Back Bitches B'Ware

:eek:
Don`t remind us of that days. She was making a complete fool of her self. Poor Britney, glad she is fine now.

:-\

icon.

Yes she is!

Its so worthless, how can somebody be obsessed with this? :confused: I said the same thing about Go Girl and i love that now so maybe i'm too quick to judge but this is ALOT worse that GG was on first listen

WOW. I just heard it on the radio. I adored the demo but I love the real one even more. B sounds amazing, and the track itself is just breathtaking. If the rest of her album is like this I will definitely be supporting Beyoncé this year.

Blows everything from B'Day out of the water... Including Irreplaceable.

"If I Were A Boy" is one of Beyonce's best songs ever. It just goes to show that she doesn't always have to rely on an uptempo to get the attention she wants for this new album. I'm almost certain that this song will do well just off buzz and the fact that its actually quality music will make it last much longer than what most of her other songs do on major charts. I'm definitely impressed with this song and pick for first single.

This is pure magic...u can hear the sincerity in her voice...im not that big of a Bee fan but this song eats it...LOVES IT!

FINALLY!!!

I can't CALM DOWN!!! cause everything about this new era is SOOOOO efffin bad and disappointing already except that "if i were a boy". The rest is trash, from the cliché generic album title, to the greedy tracklisting they gave us (they are such a pathetic loser bitches giving us 10 tracks when bee record 70 mutha****in SONGS!!!!!! i want them ALL!!!!!), to the black/grey promo pics(I mean just eWW how ****in' awful is that, did yall see it! that "iiwab" cover is sooooo tranny!!!), to that shiitty atrocious GMB part II wannabe.

oh, and my bad! The title is called "I AM" and it's even more identical to "as i am", except much much much²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² awful, and unoriignal. i'm gonna log off now, i need a rest..... i'm gonna get my stannin back later when i'm online again!!!!!

So as a Beyonce fan you start a comparison between her album title and Alicia's huh.? It's not Bee haters that start ish...its her FANS. Calm down.

This song has buzz? :-!

:toofunny:

^It will now. The guy on KISS FM said they would keep playing it all the time because they like it so much.

I love it! I think this is much better than Irreplaceable!

I like this...but it's not ALL that. Much better than that other mess for sure.

I love it! I think this is much better than Irreplaceable!
I agree :D It's really amazing. Could also be an alternative crossover.

OMG!!! This is AMAZING! **** "Single Ladies" mess, this is what the **** I'm talking about! :worship:

I see it going #1!!!!!!!!!

Great, I love it.

Ughhhhhhhhhh once again HUGE Disappointment

WE FINALLY GOT YOU TO COME TO THE "GOOD" SIDE LOL.
Thanx for enjoyin the track :D

I just played this song 10 ****ing times non stop I couldn't help myself.

5th Number 1 single.

The full version of the song is much much better than the demo!!! :)

I like Beyoncé, but I still can't find anything special about this song

Beautiful Nightmare >>>>>>>>>>>>>> If I Were A Boy + Single Ladies

Beautiful Nightmare OWNS both of these two songs :-/

If I were A Boy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.[Insert your favorite song here]

does anyone know when if i were a boy and single ladies will be released to itunes cause i gotta have them.

Beautiful nightmare would've been a great lead single in my opinion.

:ditto:

So is the video set to premiere tomorrow?

If I were a boy is very nice ^__^
Single Ladies is decent

OMFG, I'm still like SOOOOO obsessed with this song!!!!!! I play it non-stop even when I'm sleep I had the earphone on. And then today when I wake up, my ears is like deaf, or sumthing cause I can't hear a damn thing rite now!!! Shiiit!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see the black & white video!! Yes, it shot in B&W, I kinda hate the idea, but I'll live with it.

OMFG, I'm still like SOOOOO obsessed with this song!!!!!! I play it non-stop and even when I'm sleep I had the earphone on. Shiiit!!!!!!!!!.

Creepy :darh:

hahaha

it took me forever to like the song, but after many listens, its one of beyonce's BEST!!! I love the beat, and i love the message it has. If this is how her CD is going to be, then i am DEFINITELY buying!

^ BUY BUY BUY!!!!!!!!! I'm buying 20 copies!!!!

Honestly, this song will definitely get Bee some NEW fan that haven't even like Bee before. I have no doubt about that.

I already see that in the other board!

ya, but i think Single Ladies is awful, but 'If I Were A Boy' is sheer Beyonce-masterpiece! and a preview of the other songs sounds amazing! she did good this time!

if fhe did 70 songs I wonder if she will rereleased it like bday.

^ I think I read on the other board that she WILL re-release the album. ****, I have to buy another 10 copies. I'm gonna be SO broke. :(

ugh it sounds like ****. WORST. ANNOYING. BAD. :barf: anyone who likes this needs their head examined.

I love Beyonce but seriously..

If I Were A Tranny = Snoozefest.

NO! It's AMAZING, not borefest.

I just realized how AWESOME this song was if you sing along with the lyric! Haha! I'm almost there. Another 7% then I can memorize the whole lyric. <333:clap:

The way Bee sang in this; so raw, with so much emotion, and power, and passion, especially in the chorus.... seriously, it's TOO AMAZING. *DIE*

Btw, "Single Ladies" already grow on me a lot too, but all the uptempo tracks in "B'Day" are like SO much better than this tho. =[

I love it <333, though I prefer BC Jean's version.
The beat, the lyrics, the voice, they're all amazing <33

^ That no-name version is good, but when I heard Bee's version... it leaves me SPEECHLESS and there's really no bias here, rofl. SOOO much better than that girl. Bee sings it better with her voice, and she deliver it AMAZING, and powerful, like I said before. The girl voice is way too raspy and she almost lost her voice singing that damn song. lmao.

^ lmao. you're such a Bee's stan.

fiyahhhhhhhhhh!


bee killed me 0nce again:bomb:

Single Ladies is so Bday!

Is this really true?? http://perezhilton.com/2008-10-08-if-i-were-a-boy If i were a boy it`s not Beyonce`s song?? :eek:

Is this really true?? http://perezhilton.com/2008-10-08-if-i-were-a-boy If i were a boy it`s not Beyonce`s song?? :eek:

FALSE. Technically the song is hers now. It was written for her by BC Jean and produced by Toby Gad(Big Girls Dont Cry). When Bee recorded it she changed some harmonies...and the vocal arrangement. **** PEREZ HILTON.!!

Listening now, I hope it's good.

Edit - I'm taking back all I've said about the demo!
This song sounds really good.

^ You will hate it.

That *** fat pig just loves to HATE on Bee, and what he posted is completely FALSE, for the reason Travis1308 said. The girl just a no-name bitch who's demo the song since she wrote it.

Single Ladies is so Bday!

That's because it's Get Me Bodied Pt. II.

Single Ladies sucks but If I Were A Boy is awsome.

I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but THIS IS THE LESBIAN ANTHEM OF 2008.

This is the song that will shake every scorned woman ever done wrong by a man to her core. I give it a week...go to your lesbian friend's MySpace and there it will be...playing in all its feminist glory.

Perez is so annoyingly stupid. We all already know about the demo.

Whoa amazing song from Beyonce, even it's a balad I like it, can't wait to hear the whole album.

BC Jean has a GREAT version! I think her voice is more soulful, which is what this song needs!

I really like that BC Jean girl's voice. I'm gonna start looking into her music now.

Gets better and more addictive with every listen.

I like this. But Single Ladies is Better.

my radio stations here in boston, they are playing the song along and it just came out yesterday.....

I like it, nothing I would overplay but I like it overall.
