Why (Beyonce)Girls didn't hit. I was never really that into Beyonce but Girlz is teh one song I really like from her. Infact more than Irreplaceable. I don't understand is why it didn't hit. It's the only fast song on the entire album.Atleast I don't recall it on Pop radio, if so it was for a short while. Working up a purple sweat. | |

Because it's too militant, too political, too overproduced/OTT, has no real flow or melody, is obnoxious to listen to, and is one sequel of "Independent Women" too many...and I say all that as a Beyoncé fan. I prey that she's done with the 'I am Oprah'/female-empowerment theme. | |

I love it too though it finally grew on me. I almost missed out on how good of an album 4 is. I think end of time would have been great as the first single | |

That is one of the few songs I liked by her also! I guess it was just bad timing. She has been struggling lately to find another hit. But I guess she finally found one, since "Grown woman" flopped. with this new promotion on a new single hitting in December,They pulliing out everything I hear for it..Since no female right now has a mega hit yet. Beyonce is a HARD worker! She deserves her success even with mediocre talent. Plus all races of people LOVE her. Which is all you need to happen to be successful.... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

Her talent is not mediocre, she is extremely talented in singing. I don't know about best vocalist in the universe but still, she can sang! You don't have to be a fan to admit that. Right on about her being loved everywhere, I doubted it before even though I like her and went to her 00s solo tours, but she's proven herself since with touring. She's loved everywhere from Brazil to India to Korea. Those songs off 4 did better around the world and didn't have good timing, it's grown on me and to me is her best album since Bday if not her best. Vocally she's reached a new peak on the record, I'm not sure about the dancing right now cause at Super Bowl she was just ok to me cause I'd seen it all before, and she has a good setlist for the current tour and did well in Brazil from clips I've seen [Edited 10/24/13 10:13am] | |

I will agree she sings a little better than my girl Janet. But her dancing is no where near what Janet use to give! Its very amateurish. I preferred her songs she did with Destiny's Child better than her teeny bopper hits. I also liked her song "Party" from "4". Her Superbowl performance was way over hyped! It was nothing but a rehash of her tour performances. Which showed me she is NOT innovative at all. But she still slays all the other pop divas out now. Which really isn't saying much.
I'm just glad she decided put to her weave back in. She looks sexier with it. I know she was embarrassed when it got caught in that fan. lol But she was a trooper! Because she kept performing and didn't miss a beat. [Edited 10/24/13 11:10am] [Edited 10/24/13 16:08pm] will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!

Grown Woman did not flop because it was never a single. She hasn't released any singles for her 5th album yet. | |

"Grown Woman" was a promo leaked to the internet and radio. Just like "Bow Down"was. A lot of artist & record companies send or leak different songs to radio & social media first to see what will hit and catch on . No it wasn't an OFFICIAL single. I never said it was! But Beyonce was planning on it to be! She added it to her tour in a elaborate dance routine segment. But it didn't catch on! Just like "Bow Down" didn't. They both FLOPPED! The record company scrapped the new album & sent her back to the drawing board to create a buzz single. Which is coming out in Dec..I know what I am talking about!

I'm a fan of both and would say the same about them regarding vocals and dancing. Bryonce is a good dancer though Janet slays there. Janet does so much with her voice and is pleasant to listen to but beyonce is technically stronger I always appreciated dc over beyonce, it wasnt until the bday album I was feeling her. Crazy in love and naughty girl were good but I thought she was wasting her talent early in her career after expecting something more like work it out. She gave me hope at the grammys with prince and at the bet awards and got better from there. She shines best when mixing old classic sounds with current well. I find I enjoy her more when not waiting for her to be innovative, her talent is good enough for me. I just see her as a person close to my age who grew up on all the same music as me and is blending the old and new beautifully, which is more than I can say about most today. Party is a great jam, makes me think of sos band's sound blended with 90s dc. She shines well on the ballads, afrobeat and with guitars that should make prince proud [Edited 10/24/13 14:17pm] [Edited 10/24/13 14:20pm] | |

The same reason they thought it would be an easy hit is why it flopped: | |

"Grown Woman" wasn't a flop; it was never released. A snippet was used during her 30 second Pepsi commercial. The day the ad premiered, it was alleged to be her forthcoming single, but less than a few hours later Beyonce's camp denied that it was. There was no way to gauge public reaction THAT soon. The full leak of the song didn't surface until weeks, perhaps months, later...and to this day the authenticity of the full version is questioned. These days fans add to snippets. "Bow Down" was a half of a song that she put on her Tumblr account for fans. That was never supposed to be a single. [Edited 10/24/13 16:27pm] | |

Only thing you right about is her being on tour has been the hold up! But Beyonce & record company thought "Grown Woman" was going to hit. Its the reason it was promoted in the Pepsi commercial. But it got less fanfare & was SCRAPPED! The album was already ready to go. But the record company felt the songs weren't strong enough! She had already recorded many songs before the tour started & was continuing recording during this tour. Artist can record and tour at the same time you know!
Her record company has really stood by her. Because these songs have actually not been her first flops since she left DC. That horrid song she did for Austin Powers flopped & Deju Vu was not well received as the first single for B-day. In fact her fans protested that the video be taken off the air period. I always felt Rihanna had better singles than Beyonce. But Beyonce is more classy... [Edited 10/24/13 17:56pm] will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!

I dunno bout Beyonce. WHen she sings loud her voice is good. But her regular voice is OK. She did good on The Miss Carter tour with an ellaborate show. SHe needs better singles and maybe have her act together or tuned. I Mean Wendy Williams said she talks like a 5th grader. Working up a purple sweat. | |

"Déjà Vu" was a top 5 gold-certified single, and from what I can tell tends to be a fan-favorite. As far as "Work It Out" goes...so? That was a random soundtrack cut that was steeped in the 70's soul vibe of the movie, and most likely wasn't counted on to be a hit because of how atypical it was at the time. What does that song have to do with this conversation? [Edited 10/24/13 17:55pm] | |
