he song is weird as hell. Probably the most jarring thing she's done since "Ring The Alarm" in my opinion.
She's definitely taking a risk here. It's a weird dark/tribal/club/urban song. The vocals range from "Telephone" verse vocals, "Diva" verse vocals with a lot of weird vocal effects you can hear throughout the song with the producers playing with the pitch.
It's a club banger x 1000000. Not no corny(have to edit it out dont want a warning) **** either. No shade. It's more tribal/urban tinged.
"Girl! WHO RUN THE WOLRD? Girl! We run this MOTHA! GIRL! WHO RUN THIS MOTHA? GIRL!" is the hook/chant.
And there's a weird/goofy little b-section that loops in the song too. She's harmonizing with herself.
There's a part where she is completely rapping/flowing too. I know that sounds crazy, but the song is crazy!
The intro is like some dark Sleigh Bells/Dubstep **** that has some really weird chant before the drums kick in and Bey starts the hook. Definitely an anthem!
-----------------------------
This song is "Diva"/"Telephone" mixed for vocals. She's not belting or really doing any runs.
Throughout the song there's this b-section that she does that slows down the song for a minute and she's harmonizing with herself. It's like in her lower register kinda. J, help me out a little bit. It's hard to explain.
She's chanting rap/singing more than giving you full out vocal performance for most of the song, though.
It will be satisfying.

The intro sounds like a darker version of how "Kids" by Sleigh Bells starts off. It has that dubstep sound.

The"Pon De Floor" sample is definitely a direct lift, but there's a lot of **** going on with the production. It may be one of her most sonically full songs. The intro itself sounds like a completely different song until the drums kick in about 45 seconds into the song. And by full, I mean it is not ABDCEFG or even close to being generic or simple. You won't grasp everything in the first few listens.
from bw board.
m thinking it's a female empowerment song. The way she delivers and flows is very strong and confident but slightly arrogant like in Diva. The "we run this mutha" and all the cussing definitely give me girl power teas. She's obviously referring to a group of people, so I'm guessing it's women.
The choreography for this is gonna be so damn interesting because it's not like one corny beat looped over and over. It's so much going on in the record, but in a good way. Not like a song that has so much going on that it gives you a headache.
She is really on some other ****. I can't wait to see the theme, video, outfits, etc.
1. What's the length of the song?
2. Do you think this will go #1 first week?
3. Is it her best first single?
4. Did it give you chills?
1. 4:40
2. It better!
3. Ask me in 6 months!
4. I cried forreal! LMAO.

was definitely a cattle call. Everybody and their mama was there. Anyone who heard about it could have really showed up. Typical Frank Gatson foolishess if you're familiar with his cattle call auditions for some of Bey's past projects giving people false hope knowing he won't really hire them. Trying to get the word out there that a new Bey project is about to drop. Dancers, models, waitresses, **** stars (Jeremy Copeland), etc. Example? The guy with the light eyes, Justin Walker, from BET's Baldwin Hills was there. Everyone there is not going to be in the video, so a lot of people there were probably salty. On top of that, when everyone left, they were told they'd be contacted directly if Frank wants to proceed with them for the shoot. Oop! LMAO. So, basically, that means anyone without an agent will probably not be doing the video. That's just the way these kind of situations work. So, with that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff.
My friend got there and there were like 200 or more people in the room. A lot of Bey's old dancers and probably every major dancer and choreographer you could think of. The song is called "Girl". The video is being directed by Francis Lawrence. He was also there. 8 or 9 choreographers contributed to the routine. Danielle Polanco and Luam were 2 of those choreographers. Beyonce was there of course going over the routine and they were figuring out which pieces of the choreography they would be showcasing in the music video. The theme of "Girl" is like a female empowerment/girl power type of song that is a definite club banger with Top 40/Worldly appeal. The beat is driven by a sample of a popular club song that a lot of you will probably recognize. There's a breakdown in the song that is described as absolutely f**king disgustingly sick! Definitely an anthem in the style of her singing. My friend couldn't remember exact lyrics, but "Girl...girl....girl" is repeated a lot through out the song.
More on the choreography. No males will be dancing except these 2 African men that do this sick solo African intro with footwork at the top of the routine. There may be more, but at the meeting today only those 2 men were dancing. One of the choreographers was an African guy from an African dance company. Bey will have an army of like 100 or more girls. 20 of them will be doing the choreography with her and there will be like 100 of them behind her carrying sticks and marching. Men will be used as props and actors with the girls coming all in their faces and intimidating them. Again, the concept wasn't revealed so that's just connecting the dots with the choreography and small information that was given. It definitely looks like Bey will have an army or lesion of girls for one of the scenes that is presumably being shot on the 13th. Expect a full out dance number with lots of choreography.
Hopefully, my friend gets booked for the video. Everyone will be finding everything out in the next day or two.
So, there's the scoop!
So alot of people have heard the track
...And this is why I love living in L.A.

I just heard "Girl."
One of my music industry friends took me to a party tonight and I got a preview of the single. This party was top security; I couldn't even bring my blackberry into the party.
Anyway, the single is absolutely retarded. Haters will cry and careers may end.
Beyonce and her people came up with a true banger. I hope the album is completely uptempo like the single.
Anyway, Beyonce's people are trying to sit on the single until the last week of April (they want the single to drop six weeks before the album's release), but this thing will probably leak in a week or two. Also, the press release will probably be out this week. --------------------------

I do!
It's time some of you learn how to respect others opinions, plus he likes Bey too so there was no shade or negativity intended there.
Boy you can go somewhere with that ****, cause you're quick to defend the anti-beyonce posters when we quote them but your ass is nowhere to be found when someone is dissing her.
Damn, I was hoping the song would have already leaked.
I'm so f'cking excited. I really am, especially now that we know the song samples 'Pon De Floor'. You guys should hear 'Mary Jane' and 'When You Hear The Bassline', my other favorites from Major Lazer.
