Re: The Official BEYONCE thread

I really love the single "Run this World (Girls)" way better than her second single (?) "Till the End of Time".

Beyonce knows how to sell the hell outta of her songs. Very much like with "Single Ladies" it was the dancing and her performances that made that song. I'm starting to like "Run the World (Girls)." SMH. Her performance was great at the Billboard Awards.

Beyonce Reveals Inspiration Behind Billboard Music Awards Performance -- Exclusive


When Beyonce took to the stage at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards this past Sunday (May 22), she gave what was, quite possibly, the performance of her lifetime. It certainly ranks up there among the most memorable in the award show's history. Honored with the Billboard Millennium Award, Beyonce performed her current single, 'Run the World (Girls)' while dancing and interacting with high-tech video projections synced behind her.

Indeed, the word "epic" comes to mind, as it was a dazzling marriage of choreography and technology, the likes of which have rarely been seen on live television. However, some have argued that the word "groundbreaking" might be misleading -- Beyonce's performance may have been unique in its execution, but the basic idea actually came from a performance by Italian pop singer Lorella Cuccarini in 2010. The visuals, dancing and even sequencing are remarkably similar at points. That's no coincidence, nor is it a rip-off. Rather, Beyonce acknowledges the direct influence.

"My makeup artist showed me the performance of Lorella Cuccarini a year ago, and it inspired me so much," Beyonce tells AOL Music, exclusively. "I then met with the talented people who worked on it. The technology and concept were so genius. Thank god for YouTube or I would have never been exposed to something so inspiring. I never worked so hard on anything in my life as that performance for the Billboard Awards."

Naturally, YouTube is now flooded with side-by-side comparisons of the two performances and, yes, it is fascinating to see how ideas can evolve from one creative entity to the next. But whereas critics are quick to point out influences, musicians are more prone to identify them as inspiration. In turn, Beyonce's performance will now, no doubt, "influence" other artists at future award shows. For proof, check back next year.

Beyonce reveals track listing for new album 4​

While everyone is totally obsessed with Lady GaGa and her new album Born This Way at the moment, it’s easy to forget that another of our favourite pop divas is releasing a new record.

Beyonce’s fourth album, which is called 4 is due out on 27 June, and Bey is getting fans excited for it’s release by announcing the album’s track listing.

1. '1+1'
2. 'I Care'
3. 'I Miss You'
4. 'Best Thing I Never Had'
5. 'Party (Featuring Andre 3000)'
6. 'Rather Die Young'
7. 'Start Over'
8. 'Love On Top'
9. 'Countdown'
10. 'End of Time'
11. 'I Was Here'
12. 'Run The World (Girls)'

1+1 is AMAZING!

I think this will be the best era since 'Dangerously In Love'! And I'm so glad she brought back the sexy Glamazon weave!

Re: The Official BEYONCE thread

You're right Nocturnal. 1 + 1 =

Totally! Not only that, but I've just found out 1+1=2! I'm always the last to know everything! =OP

I just discovered this song, and now I'm obsessed with it! It's been on repeat all evening! I would LOVE to see/hear Bey perform it Live!

I have the BB Awards Live performance audio of RTW on repeat! Loves it! The studio version does nothing for me still.

'4' is currently sitting at #10 on iTunes. Yiddity!!!!

Re: Your thoughts on Beyonce's Girls (Who Run The World)

^It really is.

1+1 should have been the first single.

And I just love how she pronounces algebra as "al-jah-bah".

Damn, the girl isn't lying at all when she says she doesn't know much about it.

I noticed that during the second listen. Her country ass. I'm still a little upset the tracklist is only 12.

Re: The Official BEYONCE thread

Eh, '1+1' is going to have to grow on me. It's a nice song, great vocals (aren't they ever bad?), and all...but it's not quite my speed atm.

My problem with 1+1 is that it has the workings to be a GREAT ballad... and then it seems just not to go anywhere. It's a great - albeit long - intro. But... it could have been much stronger.

Re: The Official BEYONCE thread

The song sounds better during that rehearsal, there should be an acoustic version as a bonus track.

Re: Your thoughts on Beyonce's Girls (Who Run The World)

I don't like this song at all!
