Well at least Beyonce writes and sings and writes her own music. I prefer her over Britney any day. Based on her looks, I think she is very pretty. I don't really like the thick thighs but at least she's not anorexic and gross.

These photos supposedly prove she's dating Jay-Z but it's hard to make out much:

No, it's sounds like some of his earlier pop/dance stuff, like "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "Erotic City" or "Kiss" to me. Simple yet tight rhythm, short breathy vocals, simple melody line, good hook, sexy little scream. The song reminds me of Prince a lot!

Peace,

That "Work it Out" song is great little funk number. Too bad it's Beyonce who's going to get a hit out of it and not Prince coz that song would be perfect for him.

So the 80's is really coming back huh? Big hair, short skirts, and some funk to add on. That's all GOOD!

I couldn't stand her song at first, thought it was just a bunch of noise...but now it has really grown on me.

I had an erotic dream, me + Beyonce, last night.

The song is horrible...although guys like the video a little too much to notice anything else...like the song itself.

For a first single..esp for a soundtrack, I think this was a poor choice for her. Maybe a cover of some funky trak...or something not as weak as this. This sounds like a throw away track off of a Sister Sledge album.

And yes...the SAX is weak as hell...

Umm..this from the same person who sang that gawd awful bootiliscous(sic) song?!?!

(Dr. Evil voice) Right

Watch...a few more years..she'll be yesterday's news. The music companies will be pushing someone else with marginal talent.

i liked the video and the song. the song at first sounds bad, but it grows. and the girl knows how to move.

i don't understand how girls who come from close-families and love church and god, wear clothes like that.

I agree. I don't know about the rest of you, but I like my girls with a bit of meat on their bones. Beyonce is neither fat nor skinny, but just right. I would rather have small children look to her as the acceptable body type than Christina A. or Calista Flockhart.

But the hair's gotta go. I like the wavy locks, similar to the hair that Shakira is sporting now.

Guess what suby--a woman can be spiritual and a good person AND dress in a sexy way. You need to drop the Pakistani mentality about women...

I'm a muslim woman myslef and I don't see nothing wrong when my brothas come 2 me & see 'Cover up!' in fact I would be proud to know that there're MEN out there who see me as a 'sympol of dignity' and make sure that I don't open my ligs 4 every Dick or James or David just 2 get money or attention. Being good person, spiritual or even BEAUTIFULL deosn't come from my clothes or my thighs or my hips or my boobs. It comes from over hear 'pointing at my heart'--Much love & respect dear!

And yes Suby is right, I see a lot of good ol' church christitan girls in my hood who COVER UP and doesn't pay attention to the hoochie coochie mamma's clothes cuz they already know how to FEEL & LOOK (beautifull)!


As 4 Miss Knowles, I love the girl and I don't anderstand why most o' ya'll(esp the LADIES :p) are playa hating. LOL when I ask [WHY] nobody give me a REAL REASON, they either throw some stupid line like 'She's a FAT ASS' or 'She's too light' or 'She's up on the face' just BLAH nothing real. As 4 me I'M SO PROUD that there's a Black sister out there who's doing her thang and shake the charts wit her funky self, shit like somebody said earlier 'I'd CHOOSE her over Bitcheny' or some other WHITE CHIC who compare her dumb ass to Whitney & Mariah. The girl(Beyonce) can SANG HER ASS OFF whether you agree or not she don't have 2 be CHAKA KHAN. She can write some TIGHT ASS SONGS listen 2 her last effort and you'll realize, she produce her stuff GAWD what more do you want??? She don't have to be the female Prince or Stevie just to be talented. As 4 that song its FUNKY true that, but the SCREAMS make her sound like she's DRUNK!

Peace & God bless!

U guys SHOULD mos def check out her song HEY GOLDMEMBER its the funkiest TRACK in this soundtrack. Its a straight 70's disco track ya'll gon LUV it fa sho. Also the song 'Daddy wasn't there' worth the listen.

I think a woman can decide for herself very well to be a "symbol of dignity"--she doesn't need a man to decide for her what's appropriate to wear or not. At least not in this country. Each woman should decide for herself about "opening her 'ligs' 4 every Dick or James or David"--why should a man monitor that?

Clothes--or lack of--don't reflect how "good" or "bad" someone is.

It doesn't have to be a 'man'. Sometimes woman look up to their sistas and make sure that they're walking on the safe route.

But it also doesn't hurt when my brotha come and guide me. AND YES I DO agree that a woman can decide for herself very well to be a "symbol of dignity" but you should know my friend that NOT ALL THE WOMEN R THE SAME some of 'em REALLY NEED GUIDANCE and some of 'em don't.

Anyway nice talking 2 ya

i agree. she can sing very well and she practices a lot. she is beautiful and she does more than the other 2 members in the group. writng,porducing,singing leads obviously are going to make her the leader of the group. and since her parents work for the group, will put beyonce the favorite child.
not everyone who can sing amazingly or play insturments on a stage makes them any less talented than others who don't. all it really comes down to is perference and what the artist/music makes u feel.
beyonce's voice,hardwork, and music inspires ppl.

like for me; mj doesn't play any insturment on stage but that doesn't mean he is less talented. i mean he does play insturments while recording. beyonce may not sing like celine dion,mariah,etc. but it don't mean she hasn't any skills.

Hey,I finally saw Beyonce's new "Work It Out" video.The video is cool and the song is really funky.It's a huge departure from the played-out Destiny's Child sound.To those of you who are saying that she is fat...she doesn't look fat to me,at least not in this video.She's hot!

DavidEye said:

Beyonce is thick like HEINZ!! the song reminds me of a Knock-Off Jackson 5"Dancing Machine" for some strange reason IMHO.She has to go Solo.Beyonce can Hang with me anytime.Her Momma is Fly as well.YES LAWD!!!

Beyonce's solo CD is all complete and ready to go.It's called 'Dangerously In Love' and will be released in early December.

I love her new song and video. I'm very tempted to get her new album!!!
