    Hmmm First thing I thought of was Leona Lewis’ “Best You Never Had”…. re-listened to it and it’s a travesty that a 4th album Beyonce song is on par with a 1st album Leona Lewis song… And why is she going nowhere production wise with these singles? ugh

    Vocally its still strong and better than the horrid “1+1.” I still don’t feel B’s A-game coming through.

  • Andreha

    Agree, Nile. The production is weak! Lyrics are good, but I guess Babyface should be credited for those.

  • Alfredoholz

    i do have to say i love it, waaaaay better than 1+1

    I simply loved that song. It just became one of my favorite songs of her. The lyrics are so powerful and tells everything about something I went through three years ago. The vocals are also amazing. Beyonce is the Queen. <3

    Is this Irreplaceable Pt ? The music is catchy, but the chorus is not hooky enough. If she wants to be on the radio again, she may need a stronger material. I cant remember anything past the first listen excepts for that line….It sucks to be you…and that’s it. Maybe it’ll ingrain itself in my head after a few listens.

    OMG! Wait. This is totally B improvising on Vanessa Carlton’s A Thousand Miles..I dunno maybe it’s just me but I keep hearing Vanessa in my head. Somebody needs to do a mashup! :)

  • TJB

    Wow this is a snoozefest. I respect Queen (or King) B but honestly, this is so so so so so boring. I’m no longer excited for ’4′ sorry to say :(
