I DIDN’T have it down as her destiny, I must say.

 

 

But BEYONCE is working on an album of country and western songs.

 

 

The Bootylicious singer has enlisted the help of award winning singer/songwriter AMANDA GHOST - the genius behind JAMES BLUNT‘s smash hit You’re Beautiful - for the project.

 

 

She decided to go for it after testing out her new sound by singing a surprise country version of her hit Irreplaceable at the American Music Awards in LA last weekend.

 

 

The former DESTINY’S CHILD star performed the reworked song with US country duo SUGARLAND.

 

 

A show source said: “Beyonce wants to try something completely different.

 

 

“She’s a fan of country music and thought that would be an interesting and exciting way to go.

 

 

“She tested the water at the American Music Awards and she is up for it. She contacted Amanda early this week and she is going over to work with her on it.”

 

 

Native Londoner Amanda is in demand.

 

 

As well as penning Blunt’s hit single - which spent five weeks at the top of the UK charts - she also wrote Beyonce and SHAKIRA’s recent chart-topper Beautiful Liar.

 

 

And she helped American Idol winner JORDIN SPARKS score a hit in the US charts with the single Tattoo.

 

 

 

 

I can certainly see why Beyonce thinks Amanda is the woman to make her new sound a success.

 

The Sugarland duo, JENNIFER NETTLES and KRISTIAN BUSH, love her musical makeover.

 

Speaking about sharing the stage with Beyonce, Jennifer said: “There were a couple times when Beyonce was looking at me and I was blushing. I thought I was going to turn to stone in her beauty.

“She is so talented and so grounded.”

 

 

Songwriting sensation ...

Amanda Ghost

 

If that praise isn’t enough to turn you - to country, that is - then nothing is.

 

 

I reckon Beyonce, who was born in country-loving Texas, is definitely up to the challenge.

 

 

My source added: “Beyonce is very excited. Country is still hugely popular in the States.

 

“Combined with Beyonce’s popularity, this could be absolutely huge.”

 

 

It looks like dancers will be soon shaking their booty to her hits at line-dancing clubs rather than nightclubs.

 

And I’m sure the chaps will be Crazy In Love with the idea of Beyonce in cowboy boots and tiny denim shorts. Yeeha!
