Review: Terrible. I cannot believe how such a great singer has turned into such a load of drab in one album. I used to like Beyonce, I mean who didn’t. Her brilliant songs such as Crazy In Love etc were just fab, but this album just shows how far down she is going and that she really should quit while she is still riding high. Some songs on this are good. Note I haven’t used the word exceptional yet, what we would normally use for Beyonce. Because none of the songs are 10/10 songs. It really is a below average album and I would rather listen to a newcomer who isn’t so bigheaded as Beyonce. She really should just give up now.
Déjà vu, Upgrade U and Irreplaceable are the best songs on this album and if you look on the Deluxe version you will also find Beautiful Liar. Déjà vu is typical Beyonce and that is why it is good. But correct me if I’m wrong, aren’t artists supposed to get better after every album? Upgrade U is the only real song in this album that deserves to be there. This song is up a class from the others, but the rest of the album is back in a time warp. The songs on this album would have been good 5 years ago, but not today when you have Nelly Furtado and Rihanna breathing down your back. Irreplaceable is emotional Beyonce. It is a good song but after a few listens, you just get bored.
This really is a poor album and wish I could lie about it and big it up, but it really is terrible. I wouldn’t recommend it. Instead, buy her old singles, which are very good.
