B'Day is quality + quantity tho (Just like DIL & IASF by the way)
DIL, yes, but the original B'Day only had 10 tracks and that was fine with me. Each track was quality and, in my opinion, none were throwaway.
IASF, though, had certain tracks that I really could have done without (Video Phone, Satellites etc). I find that, often, the best albums are the ones with fewer songs which is why I'm satisfied with a 12 lp. Bonus tracks can be added if and as needed.
"My makeup artist showed me the performance of Lorella Cuccarini a year ago, and it inspired me so much," Beyonce tells AOL Music, exclusively. "I then met with the talented people who worked on it. The technology and concept were so genius. Thank god for YouTube or I would have never been exposed to something so inspiring. I never worked so hard on anything in my life as that performance for the Billboard Awards."

The only way I would be sad about the 12 track album is if there is another version of the album with more and better songs. She shouldn't be doing it. That's ****ed up!
For example I wish "Kissing you" was in the regular edition of B'Day. It would have fit better.
And in IASF deluxe there were better songs than in the regular version and that ****ed the reviews and the way the album is perceived as a whole.
I just want ONE version of the album even if she gives Japan some bonuses.
