(As with all the songs, Matthew Knowles makes sure his daughter gets a songwriting credit and publishing royalty on "Irreplaceable," a sop for making the composers rich. Knowles, like Celine Dion’s husband before him and other managers of contemporary singers, is canny to do this since there is no such thing as a performance royalty. In years to come, when the records aren’t selling, Beyonce will have that money to look forward to. That’s one thing Whitney didn’t do and likely regrets now.)

Ouch!!!

Well I can't wait to hear Irreplaceable, Green Light, & Sugar Mama lol. But seriously, I honestly don't think "B'Day" will be a bad album. Yes, "Deja Vu" is frantic crap but "Ring The Alarm" is quite the track. So lets just wait & hear for ourselves whether or not the album is a delightful listen.

This kind of the same review that I heard from someone who went to a listening party. She'll have to rely more on Dreamgirls.

[Cuculiza]

[Queen Xtina]

I recall on TRL that she said she wrote 3 songs a day and that she was done in a few weeks...she was "inspired" by something (who knows) and she just went into hiding and wrote like crazy!...and didn't tell anyone...and it looks like she shouldn't have told anyone about ANY of these songs because even though it will sell like crazy, it'll be pure crap. ANNDDDDD before you be like "OMG HATERRRRR"...I actually like Beyonce, I thought the singles from Dangerously in Love were brilliant as well as the stuff from Destiny's Child, but the 2 leading singles from B'Day just aren't good.

[byron72689]

She did like rough copies. Pharell was workin on this album in July and she was supposedly done in M ay. Its obvious she reworked and finished a lot of songs cuz many are renamed from the earlier articles.

[Mugshot]

The article basically says that the album is a piece of ****, but 'Dreamgirls' will save her from fading.

[byron72689]

I dont understand y yall doggin BDay on this review. Some of the same people were raving Xtinas album even tho its reviews havent been stellar...

Give Bee a chance and stop hatin.

Well, actually, Friedman writes for Fox News. He's also known for being a long-winded hack.

B2B has a 65% from Metacritic and they haven't added all the reviews yet. So it had generally favorable reviews. Regarding B'Day this is only one we have to wait for the rest of them. But I personally feel that she put all her effort into the movie and the album was a side-project.

This is one review..and Xtina has had some bad reviews. I can show a bunch of other reviews of people who heard it that said it was great, not official news, but people who heard it. Its so obvious people want Bee to fail and anything negative..they eat up.
