The Cover: Beyonce looks fantastic, but I think it has with the whole black and white concept because in a little off course and stirs on the safe side to make so nothing wrong (black and white is well known, always classic and elegant over ...), I hope not all are videos in black and white that have indeed read recently that is already being planned back all songs to publish videos.
Now to the actual, the CD: In principle, I find the concept of the 2 CDs good, but I think that the concept was not necessarily kept up everywhere, so should slow songs on the first CD and on the 2nd CD up-tempo I can not understand his -tracks what should be so up-tempo of "Hello", "ego" and "Scared of Lonely" now.
Obviously, I'm disappointed in the 1st CD something, only 2 songs could convince me as a non-ballads friend (although I must say that there are ballads quite satisfied with me ... just not Beyonce, the cries my opinion, always too much rum) Really are absolutely great Halo (which would have fitted better but in my opinion to Leona Lewis) and Broken Hearted Girl. If I Were A Boy is for me a Grower, hated in the beginning yet, now as a Well-being-at all-not-so-bad-times-song. Among the other songs I can not say anything, they've even been heard and every next attempt after about 20 seconds the skip button is pressed, because they do not stand out for me from the other and typical R & B pabulum are (my opinion).
For CD 2: Really well done, I find Sweet Dreams and radio, even if you would never come up with the idea while listening to that Beyonce sings (if that is now good or bad please to each judge for yourself). Videophone is a mediocre song and Diva's now time absolutely atrocious. The song has for me as a pseudo-ghetto-beat and you do not buy more from her to them is 1st to 2nd and old too rich. Hello and Scared of Lonely are now synonymous not just the best songs, but still better than Ego (which supposedly is 2nd single) and Single Ladies is in my opinion a total failure with catchy effect. Actually a fucking song, but still remains from beat her in the ear.
absolutely recommendable for me are sweet dreams, radio, halo, broken-hearted girl and swabs with small yet videophones, scared of lonely and If I were a boy. with the rest of the album, I personally can not do anything. I'm just wondering, why do not more songs Beyonce grabbed the album or possibly better, she has according to its own statements recorded 70 (can not be all been so mediocre) ... oh, wait - I forgot a couple it still come to the re-release version next year up to the people again properly to pull money out of your pocket. ;)
