I like it better than "Irreplacable". shrug That's about all I have to say.

Honey, stop talking and just create the music.

The chorus portion of that song lies in resemblance of the melody in Beyonces tune.

It reminds me of "A Thousand Miles" by, Vanessa Carlton. Not one of "Face's" best, but it's okay.

Exactly. Another neck-rolling angry, scorned woman, ego-Bey song wrapped in a nice melody. Its Irreplaceable 2.0. PASS.

I'm sure she will sell a lot of records to tween-agers.

Nobody can call this R&B with that Bruce Hornsby sounding piano and that Tracey Chapman "Fast Car" progression; and the marching band snares thing is already starting to get on my nerves.

I like it better than any other song we've heard from the new album, but I think the intro is a bit unnessesary and it just gonna cause comparisons to Justin Timberlake. Otherwise I'm very into it!

nod My first thoughts exactly. Why do most acts choose to remain safe and repeat past successes? I guess the real difference is in an artist would continue to grow and challenge themselves, while a recording act simply chase after hits. Not saying a real artist isn't concerned with having a successful career, they just aren't going to sell their souls/integrity to do it. (no illuminati intended)

As far as R&B is concerned, I don't think she was trying to cater to that market with this one. This has Pop radio written all over it. And you're right, the same teenagers that made "to the left, to the left" a hit will be the same ones downloading and requesting this. I could see it being a Pop hit though.

U must remember, Beyonce considers herself to be a pop icon that makes pop and r&b music. This song just happens to be a pop song. I think it's decent (for her).

her voice doesn't match this song, it doesn't fit the music.

its an alright song, nothing I will be caring about after the buzz around it dies off.

Best song out of everything she released. Beyonce can't make an album without letting jay know she doesn't need him lol

I actually relate to this song. And it's good. I like it.

Better than "Run The World(Girls)", that's for sure.

I agree. The rest of the songs have been just horrible to me.

I bet Babyface demo sounded a lot different instrumentation wise. I don't really hear his sound that much because of a different producer. I like the piano and vocals best. Nice song.

This is probably the best song she has made in this era by far, I can't stand run the world, and the other one is nice but not special

Y'all WOULD like the blandest song released this era.

She so purdy.

But I just cannot get into her music. I just can't. I tried, man. I tried.
