Hitchhike! :D

My friend won tickets, but can't go, and he doesn't believe me about that fact that they don't actually ID people.

This album is not that hot...

I love Beyonce - but I only like 2 songs on this album:

1. Run The World

 

2. 1 + 1

The ITV special is entitled A Night with Beyoncé and was filmed tonight and last night. She performed the majority of the songs from the album as well as some of her older hits. She also bought 200 pizzas for the people waiting in the cue today! How kind. ^_^

When is it going to be broadcast?

When is it going to be broadcast?

December (:cry:) after The X Factor semi-final.

Then why has it been filmed so soon in advance? :wacko:

Not got a clue.

WHILE I'M GRINDING ON YOU

THIS IS BEYOND SEX

 

'Dance For You' is so damn sensual. I love it so much.

 

Top 5 after quiiite a few plays:

 

01 Dance For You

02 Countdown

03 I Was Here

04 Run the World (Girls)

05 I Miss You

 

Is she coming back to the UK before December? That might be why she filmed it so so so early LOL

Cannot wait for the show - These shows can be quite hit and miss. Cheryl's for example didn't do very well in the ratings, but the Girls Aloud one the year before did.

Should help with Christmas sales of the album though ! :)

To be fair, nobody really wants to listen to Cheryl live. :ph34r:

It will be HUGE. I'm guessing the reason for it's early filming is that she's planning on touring later in the year? Watch her be on X Factor the night of the show :rolleyes:

I really hope she does get an X Factor slot. The IIWAB performance is my fave special guest X Factor performance ever.

I just heard 'I Care' and I actually really like it! Everything else I've heard from this album (well, 3 songs) has been a mess.

Actually really impressed with this album... seems to get better with each listen.

 

My favourites at the moment; Rather Die Young, I Was Here, Countdown, I Care & Run the World (Girls)

While 4, debuted at No. 1, its first week sales were her lowest to date and singles "Run the World (Girls)" and "Best Thing I Never Had" have not performed as well as other hits, from "Crazy in Love" on her first album to her third CD's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and "Halo".

 

The Houston-born singer, who first experienced fame with the all-girl group "Destiny's Child," said that with 4 she wanted to make a cohesive album that was "one body of work."

 

"This album was a labor of love. It was not about singles," she said. "I felt like the emotion and live instruments and just soul (were) missing out of the music industry, especially the popular music that's out. I wanted to bring it back to the music I grew up listening to. It's like a mixture of the '90s and the '70s and rock-n-roll."

 

Beyoncé heralds the video for "Run the World (Girls)" as a current favorite, but acknowledges that the black-and-white video for "Single Ladies", which showed off her swinging pelvis and rhythmic dance moves in a one-piece bodysuit, was a hard act to follow.

 

That video "was something that no one knew would become the phenomenon it became, thank God. And I know I am so lucky to have one of those moments in my career. It is just a blessing."

 

Her move to take charge of her career -- everything from her tour performances to videos -- is partly aimed at inspiring younger stars to take control of their careers, she said, citing one of her major influences, Michael Jackson.

 

"It just feels like no one else can tell me how I am supposed to perform, and I think it's what separates the Michaels and the Madonnas from the artists that are great but are just not quite the Michaels and the Madonnas," Beyoncé said.

 

While some industry watchers have wondered if success has gone to her head, Beyoncé seems to exhibit very little of the ego of many pop stars and said as the years progress, she will likely be living "vicariously" through other artists.

 

As she turns 30 years-old in September, what can she possibly achieve by, say, 60?

 

"I am sure at 60 I will not doing the Oh-Oh-Oh dance, that will not be cute," she laughed, referring to the "Single Ladies" dance. "I think my priority will be my children and hopefully my grandchildren by then -- and my record label or production company or whatever else."

I don't care [/nopunintended] for this album much, but I do LOVE 'I Care'. It's the other standout track on the album for me, alongside Best Thing I Never Had, so would be my choice for a single.
