Beyonce

I'm not really impressed with the album. There are a few decent cuts, but the album definitely isn't a standout.

LOL......... if you liked that one..... have a look at this one 

That chick in my mind.... the bank we talked about..... she will always be insanely hot. Remember..... this was after her bald spell and massive weight gain the first time, she came back and looked like that......I hope and pray the girl does it again, damn damn damn...........

now, i may not be speaking entirely accurately, but this is what happens when writers like Ryan Tedder stop writing tunes for artists like beyonce and she starts writing her own songs.

compare Partition to this:

Well considering there are also women (albeit much less of them) in audio I think we should steer clear of turning any threads into talking about female body parts & spank banks and such. I'm actually here as a professional. I'd like to think female professionals can feel welcome and safe joining these forums too. Without yet another constant reminder that they should feel like they are only valued for their booty & or tits.

This is the first I've heard this track from Beyoncé, I actually kind of like it. Some of the others I've heard from this album I don't like. I actually prefer this Beyoncé track to the video with the dude above here. The track with the dude in it just fine. It's conventionally well written, pretty, nice and easy to listen to. It's very suitable to play over the PA at the grocery store. But also kind of completely forgettable. Like it or not at least her track is attempting to be unique. I'll take that over a formulaic cookie cutter pop track any day. I don't think of Beyonce as any kind of a ground breaker. There are plenty of others out there doing much more interesting stuff, but she's at least trying to put her own stamp on this current pop sound.

But yeah, as for the boys club attitude, it doesn't belong on a pro audio forum. There's less of a ratio of ladies going into pro audio than there is in construction. If young girls are going on pro audio forums and reading threads about who's got the best tits or booty, or how important it is that Britney got fat, I could see it being a pretty big turn off.

It's bad enough that the Beyoncés, Britneys, & Mileys know that they need to resort to strip routines to be viable. We don't need to perpetuate it.
