Grown Woman is out of this world fantastic, but the public would not have taken to it like DIL. They already proved not to care about world music during the 4 era. It was wise of her to start over instead of releasing it in the beginning of 2013.

The only "worldly" song on 4 was EOT and it was never really released or pushed

[Iyanla, Fix Me]

I'm not here for a joint album. I feel like if they really wanted to, it should have been a joint album then tour. IF this is real I imagine them going on tour for it. It'll just be TOO much of them together, and I'm not really here for it. If it ever happens, which I hope it doesn't, it needs to be no sooner than 5 years from now.

ALL of this and it is still the fan favorite of the album. When I think of single injustices EOT & STOTS come to mind

[carameldelight]

Nope Countdown>>>>>

Am I the only one that is wishing this joint album thing isn't true...?

Omg I can't stand Jay Z! Like I'm a bit flustered after reading the speculation.

EOT was the biggest waste of single slayage. Especially with her performing it everywhere.

Ugh, sometimes I really wonder what she's thinking.

But when has Beyoncé followed pop-protocol lately?

EOT, Run the World, and Countdown were all singles and all had "worldly" elements.

EOT is the Dance of the Dark of Bey's fanbase. Overrated to the heavens, god bless.

Is not hard to find better songs than it on 4.

Just imagine the music video it could have had.

You need Jesus, you need Marie and you need Joseph.
1st: it's Dance In The Dark not of the dark.
2nd: Dance In The Dark > her last 2 albums
3rd: If End Of Time was the lead single, 4 would've sold at least 5M worldwide

Now wait a sec Supe, you better get me together.

Am still standing by what I said. Looking back, I think RTW was a good 1st single. But I would pick Countdown as a lead before EOT tbh.

Speak that truth.

I like End of time but i find the lyrics SO BASIC. I'm glad Beyonce moved away from these little pop empty songs tbh. I think she needs more songs like Halo and Single Ladies to smash worldwide but there is nothing wrong with 4, it's just people were brainwashed with the EDM crap back then which Beyonce wanted NO part of and then Adele came in and overshadowed her and stuff. It just wasn't a good era for her and that happens to every singer. She still sold platinum in her worse era so just be glad for that and move on. The good news is an album like 4 will be appreciated in her repertoire as her career advance.

I hope the joint album rumour isn't true. Putting their relationship out there to that extent is a bad idea. I'm also not ready for an album full of his recent weak verses.

Why do people always run with rumors concerning the Carters? Jay Z said already that he will NEVER make an album with his wife, he doesn't want to mess with his marriage that way. He said a tour is enough.

So Happy I Could Die >> Dance In The Dark

[Surfboardt]

End Of Time is one of those songs where the lyrics are so simple and melodious that it could smash if treated right. However, she performs a 60 seconds medley of the song where she spends the most time singing the second verse which is too fast for non fans to develop an interest or remember.

Basically while Bey is a stellar performer, her countless medleys performing chopped and screwed bits and pieces of songs prevents the viewers from identifying a song (and thus album) to buy which is why she doesn't enjoy the performance sales increase that Adele, Sam Smith, John Legend etc experience.

[J-esper]

EOT is still one of my favourite Bey songs
