BuzzJack Music Forum _ R&B and Hip-Hop _ Most overrated and underrated Bey song?

Posted by: Jαsє 10th July 2019, 12:42 AM

Overrated: 'Crazy In Love'. I like it but she has SO many other songs which deserved the success CIL had imo!
Underrated: 'XO'. The fact this never even went top 20 here is revolting. Gorgeous song which should have been huge.

Overrated is no doubt Love On Top, such a bland song that somehow goes nowhere and is so dull despite trying to cram in key changes etc

Underrated: have to agree with XO but also Broken Hearted Girl and I Was Here I don't hear mentioned enough

Overrated I’d also say Love On Top

Underrated I Was Here but singles wise I may also say XO I wish that had Drunk In Loves chart run

Overrated - 'If I Were A Boy' (one of her worst for me but a UK #1)

Underrated - 'Superpower' (one of my favourite album tracks of hers but I don't see a lot of love for it)

Overrated:

Single Ladies (maybe not on here, but I still hear this abomination everywhere and it getting any sort of rating whatsoever in any capacity is too much)
Listen
Drunk in Love (I like it, but it is tbh)
Beautiful Liar

Underrated:

End of Time (her best song, deserved a proper video/push)
XO (got overshadowed in the end)
Deja Vu (I have a real soft spot for this, but it isn't thought well of generally)
Why Don't You Love Me? (she'd be a much more interesting artist if she did more different stuff like this)

It's difficult to judge, I feel like a lot of the songs which are rightfully trashed on here (Diva, Run The World, 7/11 etc) seem quite popular among people I know IRL.

Overrated: Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), Love On Top, 7/11 (online)

Underrated: XO, Check On It
