Um sorry lol no. Me, Myself & I is a great song. Awesome vocal performance. One of her better lyrical efforts as well. The instrumental is just divine too.
But Countdown, End of Time and 1+1 are better. Countdown is one of Beyonce's best vocal performances ever simply because of intricate vocal application and the precision/accuracy needed to put the vocals together. The melody/progression of the song is not constant throughout and she is the only vocalist on the song, harmonizing with her damn self. That's hard. It really shows her musicianship. The bitch knows how to arrange a song. No one came in the studio and told her how to sing these lyrics. She came up with it by herself. Also, that little climb she does at the beginning of the song and in the middle of the second verse (booooooooooooooyyyyyyyy) takes SKILL. The instrumental is also brilliant. A mix of R&B, Hip Hop and Funk with some LITE Reggae and Dancehall. And if you've heard it, you know how it bounces all over the place and very quickly at that. The instrumental to MM&I is the same the whole way through.
MM&I is good, but CD was a stroke of genius.
Same goes for End of Time. Vocal performance of course was good. The harmonies >>>. The emotion she served with her voice >>>. The vocal power she showcased >>>. EOT features her best instrumental ever in my opinion. It's another genre-hopper like CD. R&B, Hip Hop, Funk, Pop and Latin Jazz all in one. The apocalyptic opening, its drums and its horns >>>. The breakdown during the bridge >>>. The drums, the horns, the bass line for the whole song >>>. Just so much **** layered on top of each other and it works together so well. I LOVE the feel-good vibe it creates too.
The PASSION and EMOTION Beyonce serves in 1+1. That A+ vocal performance. That CHURCH-ass, MOTOWN-ass production. Those poetic, romantic lyrics. I shall say no more.
The only thing MM&I has on Countdown to the Rapture, God + Jesus and God of Time is lyrics. Not touching their vocals and instrumentals.
so annoying.
How am I obsessed if all I said was DIL > 4 (responding late to BlackPower's post) 
My opinion will not change 
Y'all are NOT READY for my meltdown if Buddafly is out this early!
