tagged and apparently a demo, but here:

i remember somebody saying it was supposed to be really camp D:

if thats camp then im ****ed O_o

[Shaun]

the video has her dressed up as various historical figures (I recognised Cleopatra)

[Doogle]

AMAZING! I won't feel embarrassed (I already have Friday, Pretty Girl Rock & Wannabe to name a few embarrassing songs) about having this on my iPod, this is so not camp.

The stupid tag thing with the guy using the n-word kinda ruins it. I can't wait for the official 100% HQ version.

[ILoveTRW]

Who let Char loose in a recording studio

:nono:

[Callum]

Very weak single, not a fan, it's just alright and that's the problem, it's not amazing and nothing on her last album's singles. Will no doubt top the charts worldwide and be overplayed to death though. Meh, disappointed.

[Doogle]

:nono:It is though. It's a song for girls to feel good about themselves and I'm just sat there singing along to "don't hate me cos I'm beautiful". No wonder some people find it so difficult to believe I'm straight. :joker:

[KG.]

:worship:

[Shaun]

this doesn't have the Major Lazer sample in it, I should mention

[Smithy]

those tags are so fcking obnoxious :bored:

This is terrible :/

Bring on Till the end of the world plese

[Callum]

Bring on Till the end of the world plese

The name itself sounds exactly like Till the World Ends. Everything I've read about her recently is making her sound so unoriginal.

[Doogle]

The name itself sounds exactly like Till the World Ends. Everything I've read about her recently is making her sound so unoriginal.

I actually thought Smithy was talking about Till The World Ends. I was about to say "Lolwut wrong artist". But meh :joker:

I actually love it. It's brilliant.

[Smithy]

The name itself sounds exactly like Till the World Ends. Everything I've read about her recently is making her sound so unoriginal.

Well tbf similar song names doesn't make her unoriginal :/

[iRyan]

It's terrible. Sounds like a reworked version of Single Ladies.

Flop.

[Shaun]

no smithy britney invented armageddon x

[Smithy]

wasted humor Shaun idgi :'(

[Callum]

Well tbf similar song names doesn't make her unoriginal :/

I didn't say that though. I said a lot of stuff I've read about her lately have made her sound it, not just the song name.

[Niall]

Its been removed! dsljghjs I wanna listen. :bawling:

[KG.]

Its been removed! dsljghjs I wanna listen. :bawling:

Will probably be removed soon as well so be quick :P

I don't get the hate for this, I really love it, liked the demo with the rest of Pon De Floor in better though.

[KG.]

Oh, there's a link on that video to a version without the tags as well, much better without having to listen to that ****.

[Zippy]

Ugh what a tuneless, frantic racket

Considering she has a great voice I really don't know why she's bothering with this kind of choppy nonsense. No fluent song for her to wrap her voice around. This stuff is for non singers like Britney and Kesha who rely on nifty producers.

Final Version

Still terrible O_O

[Callum]

Absolutely awful, the annoying noise in the verses makes it even worse.

[KG.]

Now available on iTunes for anyone interested.

[Shaun]

oh my days the final version.

[Zippy]

Reminds me of Missy Elliott from several years back. Just a wall of crazy noises with no coherent tune to bring it together. I like bits of it but overall its a mess. Literally.

[Shaun]

Missy Elliott, no coherent tune?

mmkay

[Niall]

Hmm. I can see this growing on me in future but I can see the total opposite happening and me hating it. I guess I'll see how I feel further down the line. D;

[Smithy]

she said it was a hot mess :nono: and it doesn't matter, because she was hilarious in that video talking about the angry white people

[Shaun]

glozell is so 2009 smithy :bored:

[CharlieO]

i honestly just want to hug her.

[Smithy]

NO SHE'S NOT. YOU'RE 2009

Why was this not released as the first single! :nono: :love:

[Smithy]

because she's using it for a campaign against obesity?

Isn't she?

[Callum]

because she's using it for a campaign against obesity?

Isn't she?

Yeah, I thought it was a new song until 2 minutes ago but it's actually a reworked version of Get Me Bodied apparently. Surprised I hadn't heard that song until now. I prefer this new version for sure though.

[Shaun]

sounds like Kelly Rowland's Tambourine. Or Eve's. Or whoever did it.

[Jords]

I dont really like Beyonce and this is **** except the oh-oh-oh noise in the chorus.

[Niall]

I'm actually liking it more and more with each listen but its Beyoncé's voice that makes it bearable and carries the song. If anyone else sang it then it would be totally horrid. -_-

[KG.]

Some of the camera angles are really weird though - she's hardly dominating the video.

Her new album is called 4 and this is reportedly the artwork:

Video is AMAZING

[Niall]

Brilliant video. I'm liking the more aggressive tone she's taking. Hopefully her new album will be really good. *Hopes for something like Rated R but with Beyoncé instead of Rihanna* :amazed:

[Z]

Agree with Shaun, the camera angles are pretty bizarre but I guess the focus is more on the imagery and dancing than on Beyoncé herself which is good. Still don't like the song but the video's cool.

[LaLaLand]

I'm furious she's using Major Lazer's mix and everyone thinks it's an original. She's declining in creativity but it IS a catchy song.

[CharlieO]

I'm furious she's using Major Lazer's mix and everyone thinks it's an original. She's declining in creativity but it IS a catchy song.

I strongly agree. Beyonce did not make the tune what so ever. Lyrics have just been spilt over the top.

[Shaun]

noone complained when she did Crazy in Love :nono:

[Z]

I just don't think the sample works with her artistry in any way; she obviously has a fantastic voice and there's nothing to criticise about her actual singing on the track, but it just doesn't sound right IMO.

[Smithy]

**** video, **** song, **** album artwork :bored:

[Shaun]

-says the same for Born This Way :hmph:-

[Matt]

noone complained when she did Crazy in Love :nono:

I seem to remember you having something to say about Blu Cantrell ripping off Dr Dre though :nono:

Hate the song but the video's not bad

[Shaun]

that's because she did nothing different to it <_< the tri-lites / major lazer songs have been tampered with and remixed :p

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Absolute nonsense. This over the top, command attention videos and loud songs theme that every artist apart from Adele seem to come out with these days just annoy me and do nothing for me anymore.
Yes beyonce, we know you are all for girl power, know you can come up with dance moves ok.

sigh I miss Lauryn hill

[CaraRawr]

she's so hot

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

she's so hot
Kanye west and jared leto in your sig-can I see the clip please? :amazed:

[Zippy]

Nice video, shame about the song

the songs not worthy of all that money and effort. But she's certainly showing Gaga how to dance.

Pretty nice song, her album should be decent, not sure if it's going to be as good as I Am... though

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Niall]

It was a promotional single I think.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

My OCD is buzzing at the fact Bey is covering her name in the album artwork.

Also idk if anyone saw this but its a really lovely video about Beyoncé + 4. :lovedup: :

3vXXiku0580

Its a tad long though. D;

[Joelle.]

Buying 4 for my Mum's birthday, I must have stood there for at least a good 5 minutes deciding whether or not to pay an extra 3 quid simply because the deluxe edition has a much better cover and Bey's name is not covered up lol :laugh:

Went for standard edition in the end as im such a tight bar steward.

[Shaun]

-has yet to buy the CD; is even cheaper and will probably wait until it's on a 2 for £10 offer-

Any news on the third single?

[Joelle.]

I thought it was supposed to be Countdown but now it seems yet to be revealed. :suspect:

[Shaun]

it should be End of Time :( and then another ballad (1+1 or I Was Here) after

[Joelle.]

Yes it should be End Of Time. Probably my favourite song on the album.
Overall though the album is pretty hit and miss. Unlike IASF with which I could genuinely say I liked every song except Diva.

[Shaun]

I preferred IASF too but I thought there were weaker tracks than anything on 4 :laugh: Disappear, Satellites and That's Why You're Beautiful :yuk: and I really wasn't keen on Video Phone, let alone as a single

[Joelle.]

I think the original 12 track IASF was just about on a par with 4, maybe slightly better, but the platinum edition was a huge improvement as it contained some of the standout tracks in Ego, Scared of Lonely and Hello. If she goes down the same path with 4, I.e. Single overkill, it could be up there with the platinum edition of IASF.

[Shaun]

Save The Hero was a deluxe track wasn't it? :lovedup:

[Joelle.]

Yes, that was another standout track on the platinum edition :love:

[Smithy]

Countdown is the next single iirc

[Joelle.]

I still cant warm to Countdown. Its definitely one of the more disappointing songs on the album. :bored:

BEYONCE TO RELEASE ‘PARTY’ AS HER NEXT SINGLE
by: Nadine Cheung*8 hours ago

Beyonce is still riding high on the success of her fourth studio album, ’4,’ and now she is ready to unveil its third single, ‘Party.’

The 29-year-old recently shot a video for the song at the Oakdale Mobile Home Park in South Brunswick, N.J. The album version of the track features André 3000, but there’s no word whether he’ll appear in the final cut. However, Kelly Rowland was photographed on set, so fans may be treated to a cameo by the former Destiny’s Child member.

The ’80s funk-inspired tune was a feature of Bey’s recent four-night stint at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, where the R&B diva performed the entirety of her latest album to a sold-out crowd.

Beyonce released her lead single, ‘Run the World (Girls),’ in April, and it subsequently hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs chart. ‘Party’ follows the singer’s second single, ‘Best Thing I Never Had,’ which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B chart.

‘Party’ was co-written by Beyonce, Kanye West, André 3000 and others, and features a sample of the 1985 classic, ‘La Di Da Di’ by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick. Although the song leaked before ’4′ was released, its official release date is scheduled for Aug. 30.

She has apparently made a video for Countdown as well so maybe that will be a future single.

[Callum]

I just watched Big Brother US and they played Countdown on one of the promos for this sitcom which I can't remember the name of, so I think that will definitely be a single at some point.

[Smithy]

Party is one of my least faves </3

[Joelle.]

End Of Time is the best upbeat track and I Was Here is the best ballad IMO.
And RTW (Girls) is misunderstood. :hmph:

[Smithy]

Tonight E! will be unveiling the brand new video for "1+1" as Beyoncé continues to roll out the story of 4. Coming on the heels of her "4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé" dates, Beyoncé is ready to unleash the video to what she refers to as "my favorite song." The video will premiere tonight on E! News at 7:00 PM EST/PST. Check back here on www.BeyonceOnline.com at 8:00 PM EST/5:00PM PST to view the video. E! News will repeat at 11:30 PM EST/PST

The "1+1" video is the story of love at its best. It's about commitment and fulfillment and it's Beyoncé at her most beautiful. The video experiments with psychedelic visual effects and innovative lighting that gives the clip a cinematic feel.

"1+1," which Beyoncé first performed on the season finale of American Idol, is not an official single but it's the first song on the album and it's the first of many videos which will be released to visually tell the story of 4. The dress rehearsal clip backstage at AI, "Pregame" became an instant viral hit as soon as it hit the web.
