BEYONCE

• As the hottest thing in music today, this statuesque and bootylicious R&B/Pop queen has captured the attention of males aged 11 to 111 with her titillating performances and string of nightclub hits. She has the physical and musical attributes that have already translated into a stellar career and a top 10 appearance.

• Beyonce's father says Aretha Franklin's criticism of his daughter for referring to Tina Turner as "the Queen" at the Grammys is "ridiculous." However, in an interview with CelebTV.com posted Wednesday, Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's father and manager, said: "I am not taking something this ridiculous to Beyonce. Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as a 'queen.' Not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?"

• Beyonce Knowles has signed on to play blues singer Etta James in "Cadillac Records," a 1950s period film about the founder of Chicago's Chess Records and his lineup of stars.

MUSIC VIDEO-"IF I WERE A BOY"
BEYONCE

I like the song and the concept. Beyonce is a creative and brilliant artists, but when I found out that she kinda ripped it off another artist named BC Jean, I was a little disappointed. Besides that I still continue loving her voice and songs.



LYRICS FOR "IF I WERE A BOY
BEYONCE

[Verse]
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed


[Verse]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)
Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed

[Vamp1]
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

[Male]
You know when you act like that
I don't think you realize how it makes me look
or feel

[Beyonce]
Act like what
Why are you so jealous
It's not like i'm sleeping with the guy

[Male]
What

[Beyonce]
What

[Male]
I said yo
Why are you so jealous
It aint like I'm sleepin with the girl
[Vamp2]
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy




MUSIC VIDEO-"SINGLE LADIES (PUT A RING ON IT)"
BEYONCE



Beyonce is definitely back with this video. Love the choreography and the song. It's so funny when you try to do some of her moves and it doesn't quite come out the same way. My husband gets a kick out of that. I don't think it's funny but oh well, what can I do.


LYRICS-"SINGLE LADIES (PUT A RING ON IT)"
BEYONCE

All the single ladies [7x]

Now put your hands up!

[Verse 1:]
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own lil' thing
You decided to dip and now you wanna trip
Cuz another brother noticed me
I'm up on him, He up on me
Don't pay him any attention
just cried my tears, gave you three good years
You can't be mad at me

[Chorus:]
Cuz if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
Cuz if you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Whoa! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Cuz if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
Cuz if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Whoa! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

[Verse 2:]
I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
acting up, drank in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him attention
Cuz you had your turn
And now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss "B"

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Don't treat me to these things of the world
I'm not that kinda girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Here's a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I'm the one you want
If you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost I'll be gone

All the single ladies [7x]

Now put your hands up!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Whoa! Oh! Oh!
Cuz if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Whoa! Oh! Oh!
