 Beyonce's Dreamgirl November 19, 2008

Beyonce's "If I were a boy" is a cover of a '60s soul song. Former Destiny's Child frontwoman Beyonce sings how tender and understanding she'd be to her woman. She has a beautiful voice-- unfortunately,the song is forgettable. It doesn't rise to the guilty pleasure glory "I kissed a girl" (the Katy Perry or Jill Sobule version)
"If I were a boy" is at once Beyonce singing from the perspective of a woman with a cheating,jealous boyfriend, with her closing "you're just a boy" and as a woman fantasizing about how she'd care about her lady. It's got a simmering sapphic undercurrent. If Beyonce were a boy,she'd be quite a man!

I do NOT like this song. I think Beyonce sounds like she's whining. I like some other songs by her, but this one is just repetative and annoying.

This is one of those songs that 10,20 or whatever amount of years pass. People will be able to relate to and still enjoy. You will either remember that bad relationship you were in, and be thankful you found someone better. Or thank about what you would have done differently in that relationship. Not only do you feel that emotion in the song you see it in the video. Once again Beyonce shows why she is one of the top female artist in the game not afraid to take risk and grow before our eyes.
 This song fit BC JEAN since she ORIGINALLY sung it...Bey's version...no December 12, 2008

For whatever reason this song is pretty hot, not so much anymore, but it was. BC JEAN's version is MUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better, being that she sung it first. It sounds like sloppy seconds on Bey's part, doesn't sound natural for her.
decent song if only she was a boy December 8, 2008
