I like it, mainly because there will finally be something to dance to in the clubs that has got a decent beat. RedOne has killed interesting beats.

 

I would prefer it to just be Pon De Floor though.

Now its leaked, i hope they do a 'Judas' and bring the release forward so we can hear the final version. :heart:

LOL. What is this mess :| Seriously praying that this is a demo :|

I really like it! :)

^^ This doesn't sound good. Why has Beyonce gone and ruined a great song, "Pon De Floor" :angry: I'm not into this, hopefully it won't be much of a chart hit because it doesn't sound "fresh". Hoping it's only a demo too

I will say again: the version that has leaked is an unfinished edit of the song.

The final version will apparently be completely different:

Diplo didn't even touch the leaked version of 'Girl' Final version has a different beat, lyrics, and better vocals

I hope that above tweet is true then, I'm not that keen on this leaked version. It's too messy for me. :(

We already knew that it was a demo and the sample wasn't used enough in it (compare the early leaks to the full leak) but now it's confirmed Diplo hasn't even touched that yet so it'll clearly be heavily different.

The demo sounds very promising :o :heart:

That is absolutely f***ing awful, hopefully the finished version is better coz so far I'd put it in the same category as the dire 'Diva'.

Sounds like an R&B version of Alesha's "Drummer Boy". Not impressed Beyonce, completely tuneless. Radio pisses all over this

It's deffo just a demo, but I am still loving it! :D The full version, with a heavier beat will be AMAZING! :o

Capital seem to have been playing it like it's the proper version (or at least thats how it comes across on their twitter) :huh: I hope the final version is a lot better as this is quite terrible - however, it is getting in my head, and perhaps not her worst song ever (Diva, Videophone, Single Ladies)

From the lukewarm response, I shall wait for the original version before I am thoroughly underwhelmed.

Sounds good so far, definitely needs improvement but i think it's gonna be great. Not sure though if it's the right choice for first single.

Heard it Capital just now, it's the same version I've been listening to on YT :unsure: Whether they're so excited they're just playing the demo or it's the final version I have no idea! Love it whatever's the case :wub:

This will bomb as the first single in Europe unless there's a MAJOR improvement with the final version

It's alright

 

It hasn't grabbed me. I can see it getting very annoying. I've never been that keen on her up beat songs anyway. I still hate Singles ladies with a passion.

It's already annoying imo. Needs vast improvement
