Venus is kind of amazing. That chorus is just huge and undeniable. But I think the best part comes down to the "Let's blast off to AHHHH new dimension" and the background vocals on the second "I can't help the way I'm feeling". I think the song could have turned out a lot better if she highlighted those (and obviously replaced that awful bridge).

If that happens, I'm gonna raise enough money to buy this whole forum and then shut it the **** down. "We Can't Stop" NEEDS to be top 5 (even though I suspect it'll barely sneak into the top 10).

Best bit: "Bang, bitch/You think I'm strange, bitch?/It's bananas, like a ****ing 'rangatang, bitch/Don't worry 'bout me, I got it all arranged, bitch/Mind your business, stay in your lane, bitch"

Listen to "Jealous" How did the best song in this rate not even make the top twenty of the countdown? Who knows. Trying to understand ATRL’s taste is rarely a productive exercise, so let’s just appreciate what this track does better than other on these five albums: explore the strain of sexual politics on a relationship. Frustrated by unequal social freedoms afforded to men, a jilted Beyoncé imagines getting dressed up in her freakum dress and flirting with an ex. The provocative concept isn’t entirely unfamiliar to her discography; she’s covered similar ground before on songs like “If I Were a Boy.” But never with this kind of emotional intimacy, seeping through Beyoncé’s soft, confessional delivery and the evocative, guitar-driven R&B instrumental.
ATRL says...: "Jealous" is one of those songs with so much right about it that everyone has their own best bit. "I love the delivery of 'I ran into my ex, say what up to his besties/Now we reminiscing how we used to flex in Texas/Don't be jealous.' Yoncé's writers were letting Jay KNOW!!!" August wrote. "Needs to be a single!" lovesong said. "I love the 'unchained' feel of the song. The lyric 'There's just one shot left in this drink, in this glass/Don't make me break it!" is one of my favourite things ever!"
Best bit: "And I hate you for your lies and your covers/And I hate us for making good love to each other/And I love making you jealous but don't judge me/And I know that I'm being hateful but that ain't nothing"
