Her record label may be shipping 1 million copies of her new album ‘4′ to outlets before its release in two weeks time; however, in a bid, to make sure they are actually sold, Beyonce has taken to her Facebook page to discuss her feelings surrounding the untimely surfacing. Indeed, as many know, the LP hit the net yesterday.
Check out what she had to say about it after the jump…
‘“My music was leaked and while this is not how I wanted to present my new songs, I appreciate the positive response from my fans.When I record music I always think about my fans singing every note and dancing to every beat. I make music to make people happy and I appreciate that everyone has been so anxious to hear my new songs.”
Though the unexpected online surfacing of the release will fall into the bad news category for the 16 time Grammy winner, it is worth noting that her last LP ‘I Am’ also suffered the same fate weeks before its release and still went onto exceed commercial expectations globally.
With legions of fans just waiting to show their support of the record on June 28th, there is no doubt that ‘4’ will become the chart success it is destined to be.For if any of her previous work is anything to go by, the performer will deliver a project worthy of high praise, commercially and critically.
Why would she call attention to a leak by responding to it? Don’t they usually just try to clean it up and not call attention to it?
It’s the QUEEN. Refrain from negative comments. It only shows your desperation for Bey’s failure…but it’ll never happen.
AWWWW Beyonce Don’t worry BB Your fans got you back I’m buying 10 copies !!!BEST SINGER OF THIS GENERATION!!! <3 🙁
o
Don’t worry Bey, I’m sure you’ll do great numbers. BUT, I’m gonna need you to show your face every once in awhile. This is by far her best album, hands down. Vocally, musically…I just can’t get over how she exceeded every expectations. The chick is SANGING and that’s all I ever wanted. Best album this year, IMO and you will f****** deal.
*black marker in hand marking Xs on the calendar*
Cannot wait until 6/28!
Yes Bey!
3 weeks. that’s pretty bad. i’ma be over the album by the time it drops. it’s good for a few listens. Never Let Me Go still should have been the lead single. “Party” and “Countdown” are great. the rest are boring and beysic
AWWWW Beyonce Don’t worry BB Your fans got you back I’m buying 10 copies !!!BEST SINGER OF THIS GENERATION!!! <3
“positive response from my fans” Alot of the reviews i’ve read online are mixed at best.
The album sucks. The 5 that have leaked “officially” cnat do s*** on itunes US. Not a single one has hit top 20. Lame. They all down in the 60-80 range. Lame!!
Awww Bey…..you have given us some of the best music I’ve heard all year….some of the best music ever.
As a fan, Beyonce has made me proud.
GREAT GREAT GREAT MUSIC…..GREAT album
U KNOW I DONT EVEN LIKE THIS LADY, BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COMMENTORS ON THIS WEBSITE ARE ALWAYS SO NEGATIVE, LIKE IF IT ISNT SOMETHING YOU FEMS CAN DANCE TO THEN YOU CALL IT BORING, SO DUMB, WHILE OTHER “URBAN” AND “MAINSTREAM” BLOGS ARE PRAISING IT AND GIVING IT GREAT REVIEWS… I PERSONALLY LOVE IT AND THIS IS COMING FROM A PERSON WHO DONT LIKE HER. I WILL DEFINITELY BUY IT
GO TO OTHER “NON-GAY” DOMINATED BLOGS, AND YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE LOVE IT. JUST LIKE MOST PEOPLE ON THIS WEBSITE HATED MOTIVATION BY KELLY, AND ALL THE OTHER BLOGS LOVED IT, AND ITS DOING GREAT… IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE AUDIENCE
I DONT THINK THE REST ARE BORING OR BASIC, REALLY?
IF U LIKE ADELES 21, SADE’S SOLDIER OF LOVE, OR GOOD RNB/SOUL IN GENERAL U WILL LIKE THIS.
I HAVE NEVER EVER LIKED ANY OF BEYS ALBUMS
DIL-WAS HORRIBLE OVERALL BUT HAD STRONG HIT SINGLES
BDAY-WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE
IASF-WAS TOO FAST FOOD AND GENERIC(EVEN THE BALLADS)
HERE SHE IS GIVING ME LIFE, U WONT FIND SASHA FIERCE ON THIS ONE SO IF YOU WANT THE BEY OF VIDEO PHONE AND RING THE ALARM, U WONT FIND HER HERE
I HOPE THIS DOES WELL COS THIS HONESTLY IS HER BEST ALBUM AND THE BEST ALBUM AFTER KANYES MBDTF AND ADELES 21 IN RECENT TIMES. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THE HINTS OF SCREAMING FROM TIME TO TIME ON THE RECORD BUT OVERALL AGAIN ITS A REALLY GOOD ALBUM
aww beyonce..4 is real f***** music…i cant wait to june 28 lets gooooooooooooo
THIS WILL MAKE FANS WANT TO BUY THE ALBUM EVEN MORE & ALSO BUY MORE COPIES…SO IT MAY NOT BE SUCH A BAD THING.
Rihanna & Chris Brown, Bey The Diva is teaching you; this how U handle the sh%t instead of twitter-ranting during 15 hours.
@Imgunnacheckyouboo
exactly.
why is she responding??
EVERYONES album leaks before it is officially released.
Go sit down somewhere Beyonce.
I think her team should move up the release date. IMO I think it’s not her best. But I’ll buy the 3 songs I like whn they’re available on itunes.
Listeing to “I MIss You”
@BADD SHE IS RESPONDING BECAUSE HER STANS HAVENT REALISED THAT EVERYONES ALBUM LEAKS SO THEY WENT H.A.M AT COLUMBIA,SONY,SOLANGE, ANGIE BEYINCE ETC. THEY REALLY WANTED HER TO ADDRESS THE LEAK SO SHE DID,
@TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN, here you go! Instead of continuing to thank your lucky stars for the sympathy sales that Taylor Swift continues to receive because of Kanye West (whose BRILLIANT album landed at number 1 on MANY year end “BEST OF” countdowns- Where was “Speak Now?”…right), you are on a Beyonce post trying to throw shade.
Again, her FANS, get it, FANS love this album. & like I said before, 6/28 cannot come fast enough.
*un-pauses Scared of Lonely*
The same people who say the album sucks think Rihanna’s “only Girl” is the best song ever, they think Gaga has saved music and have never even heard the latest albums of Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Jill Scott, John Legend, Maxwell or any other Rnb/soul artist that is out there!!!
So yeah, go away, she said “positive reaction from my fans”… She didn’t say everyone, she doesn’t care about everyone
every bitter haten bish on dis site i will b happy to hear the day yall a** DIE!!!
Yess Queen Bey you’re very welcome. Your album is Definitely a Masterpiece and the Best of the Year! Queen Bey Deserves all the Success she get unlike Britney who is a FAKE and FRAUD!
Beyonce 4 album is the BEST album of the year and will Definitely get High Praise. Queen Bey is a True Spectacular Artist and I will always support you!!XOXO Lol
I think Countdown should be released as a Single!
Who Run This Muthaa??? King Bey Biiaattcchh!!!!
4 sucks….it is going to be the worst album 2011 !!!! 🙁
Leak or no leak beyonce is gonna sell and anyone who is delusional to think that come June 28 her die hard fans aren’t gonna show up in them stores and buy it up are crazy. I’m glad she said I make music for my FANS.
From what I’ve heard this is shaping up to be nice. Oddly enough I find myself rarely listening to DIL. I think it’s the most juvenile album out of all. She has always evolved and I’m loving how raw her vocals sound on the new work because I also find myself listening to the live CD performances more as well. Once u hear her sing somethig live u cannot listen to the album version so I’m glad the album version sounds close to live.
I’m very happy with 4. The only song I prolly won’t be that into is RTW. And that’s only cuz I’m a dude and it makes me feel uber gay singing it.
Beyonce isn’t doing any interviews or performances prior to the release date, so I think thats why she responded.
Also Beyonce isn’t on Twitter, so this was just her way of communicating with her fans.
Im glad she said something, because with lack of promo and her being so busy rehearsing for the festival, it almost appeared that she wasn’t aware of what her music is doing…
Beyonce is everything
I am worried about bey and this project you know. I can’t see her pulling in the same kind of numbers that gaga has. But in a way I feel that she is not that worried about the commercial aspect of the album. I think this is a personal album but is also something especially for her fans. It’s almost like she’s gone past the whole chart wars business that her other counterparts delve in. However I will be buying the album but I just don’t feel that this is gonna pull in the big numbers. Only time will tell I guess.
YESSS BEE!!!!!!!! 6.28.11
the leak is intentional….i am sure !!!! a short promo for her lackluster and generic album.
I’m buying it. It’s a great album! IDC what anyone else says 🙂
And “4” is by far her best album…vocally, lyrically, production wise. Just when I thought she wasn’t gonna be able to out-do herself, she gave us a classic album….
The masses of todays musical generation will not appreciate the sound of this album..I was taken back to the 90s and was pleasantly surprised. However, none of these songs will be chart toppers nor anything worthy of critical praise (sales) .
She made this for the fans! Thats what matters….Artists need to remember that the fans are #1
@MISHKA- I agree 1000%
I have to respect her, because she handled the situation very classy. Hell, I would be upset like a muthaf’, if my music got leaked.
I still have to give the album a try once more though! But I hope she pulls off nice numbers, because the whole era/promotion has been a H.A.M.!
ppl was expecting that bubble gum pop s*** they so use to hearing on the radio…when beyonce finally gives them real music..they bash it and say it wack which is sad..

So how would leaking the album help promote the album…ohhh yeah because its a GREAT ALBUM.
And whats generic about this album?? What other album out today is anything like this???
Yeeeeesss Mr.T Queen Bey 4 album is Definitely a CLASSIC!
HOW IS 4 GENERIC, IAM SASHA FIERCE WAS DISGUSTINGLY GENERIC BUT 4 ISNT. I USUALLY DONT LIKE BEY, I AM AN MC STAN TOO, BUT 4 IS GREAT. AND TO THE PERSON WHO SAID 4 IS THE WORST ALBUM OF 2011, ITS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BEST. ITS MUCH BETTER THAN FEMME FATALE,LOVE, BTW, I REMEMBER ME, FAME ETC
HOWEVER I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE AS SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIALLY AS THE ABOVE ALBUMS, BUT ITS A REALLY GOOD ALBUM.
She really showcased her vocals on this album. I’m proud. I will be playing the hell out of this album as well as IASF (the beyonce side). All of this works together for me. So I’m a happy camper. I love this type of music and I love that no two songs sound alike.
DIL > 4 > IASF > B’Day

_________________________________________________________________
I’ve realized no matter what Bey does, ppl will still hate. This album has made me look at Beyonce in a new light because she pulled her energy from somewhere within.
Hell Imma Beyonce fan and I gained a new respect for her musically. People just want to hate
@DANNII, “I can’t see her pulling in the same kind of numbers that gaga has.” OF COURSE she will not do Lady Gaga numbers.
Just like you, I am buying the album. That’s ALL that really matters. Even though I have only heard 4 songs on the album (RTW, EOT, 1 +1, and BTINH), I knew I was buying it after I heard “End of Time.”
Beyonce has delivered the MUSIC, that is all I care about.
I only like 5 out of 12 songs off the album.
I think its an attempt to go back to DIL quality, but it falls a little short.
This is a BAD move. beyonce should have stayed quiet, now people are gonna download her album more because she drew MORE attention the the fact it leaked.
I for one, wont be buying. An album where I only like 5 songs out of 12 is a waste of money, however, it isnt BAD, and she shouldnt do too bad first week. Probably around 200k at the most.
FLOP. BWAHAHAHAHAHA
QUEENBEY doesnt care about numbers bcuz if she did she would sell her album for two numbers and one letter……. 99c
@MadonnaLover
Which 5 do you like? If you don’t mind me asking? I know you’re a fan of Deja Vu, so is Countdown one of them?
THE STANS ARE STUCK WITH THE DOG FACE ON..HA!! THIS IS TOOOOO FUNNY LMAO.
@Mr. T
i come to that conclusion as well..she took me there with this album im proud
When is Rihanna gonna get a #1 album???
@Mr. T
i’ve come to that conclusion as well..she tooooook me there with this album..i mean the vocals,the emotion..im so proud
@thekiddz
I miss you, I care, start over, party, and love on top.
Countdown was kind of a miss for me, I dont know, I couldnt get into it. Maybe it takes a second listen, when I first listened I thought it was all over the place.
When is Rihanna gonna learn how give a Good Performance???Some been ok but ok isn’t good enough. It’s all about giving a Great Performance like Queen Bey.
I AM SORRY TO DISAPPOINT ALL STANS THAT KEEP SAYING BEY DOESNT CARE ABOUT NUMBERS OR NUMBER ONES
THE TRUTH IS THAT IN THIS INDUSTRY THOSE TWO ARE CONSIDERED MORE IMPORTANT THAN AWARDS.
THEY AFFECT EVERYTHING FROM TOURS TO ENDORSEMENTS ETC.
4 IS HER BEST ALBUM TO DATE
BUT YOU CANT SAY THAT BECAUSE ITS NOT POP SHE DOESNT CARE ABOUT FIGURES I AM SURE SHE WAS HOPING ON DOING A RNB-SOUL ALBUM AND GETTING THE SAME KIND OF BUZZ ADELE DID. SHE DID SAY ADELE INSPRED HER DIDNT SHE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HASNT GONE THAT WAY. I WISH HER ALL THE BEST AND TRUL HOPE THAT 4 DOES WELL COS ITS GREAT
I LOVED 1 PLUS 1, I CARE, I MISS U, PARTY, COUNTDOWN, BEST THING I NEVER HAD, LOVE ON TOP, START OVER AND I WAS HERE.
Flop or success, this album slayed where it was supposed to slay, and that alone makes me a very satisfied fan. S***, even people who usually clown her can’t deny how much ass this album kicks
@ Badd:
Uh, what the f*** is your problem? What’s it to you if she responds? I think you’re the one that needs to sit down somewhere.
Yall dumb.
DRAKE RESPONDED TO HIS LEAK AND STILL SOLD WHAT, 400K FIRST WEEK???
IMO This album sucked balls!!!! IV is not a good LP at all. The sad thing is that Run The World(Girls) is one of the best if not the best song on there and that was a s***** ass song! Wow so disappointing, Her voice may be good but the music it self sucks. Christina Aguilera anyone???.
I feel like b**** and s***…..
But Beyonce has truly made me a proud fan.
RTW
RTW video
Billboard performace
Billboard speech
Oprah performance
1+1 performance (AI and in the dressing the room)
Best Thing I Never Had
And then “4” was leaked, Bey delivered her best.
Good Job Beyonce.
One more thing,
I appreciated the contemporary approach beyonce went with this album. The quality of the 5 songs I like are really good. I can do without the uptempos. Also, run the world dosent fit this album, AT ALL. especially with songs like I was here and I care.
I believe and hope her album would do over 1 million in the first 2 days. This is gonna be her last album for a good minute and that’s why she’s leaving her fans this classic album just for them. I can’t wait for 6-28 so I can purchase my copy and then listen to the album in full. Please all fans and even the haters, support her album and buy yourself a copy or two.
@Rhi Rhi is Not a Queen shall I go on??? Lol that’s what i thought b****.
@MadonnaLover
Really?! I’m surprised at that. I love how frenetic the instrumentation sounds and her vocals are beautiful on the chorus “Oh, killing me softly and I’m still falling”.
My hands down favorite is “I Miss You”, it reminds me of a Foreigners ballad with dark, moody synths, late-night desperation lyrics and the way she harmonizes with herself is brilliant; showing the contrast between her cooler composed surface and the frantic cries of her heart, IMO of course. Lol
It’s a pretty solid album, arguably her best. To me it sounds like Mariah’s Butterfly album meshed with Stevie Wonder’s “Innervisions”.
@jesse
b**** stfu and have a seat tack head ass h**..SEE WHEN HATING ASS MFZ GET REAL MUSIC PUT IN THEY DAMN FACE THEY CANT ACCEPT..GO LISTEN TO I LIKE IT LIKE IT ,RAH RAH AH AH AH,HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME,THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR WAKING UP IN VEGAS B*******
I downloaded the leak but will be buying my copy come 28th. In fact, I think this leak has made her fans even more determined to make 4 fly to the top of the charts. The album surprised me in so many ways. I am more excited than ever for her live showings of the songs this summer.
Question: can someone tell me why best thing I never had isn’t available on UK iTunes? Is it only a US release or ??? Am I missing something?
P.s her response was very cool calm and collected. She’s very much in control don’t doubt that.
Awww Bey! I feel you girl! Her response was very professional and she sounded like she was speaking directly to her fans and I like that. Although, she is Beyonce and I wouldn’t expect her to come out laying people out! That’s not her style! Lol!
People say it’s stupid for an artist to bring attention to a leak but with Twitter, Facebook & the blogs everybody & they’re mama was bound to know that it leaked! She still has two weeks before her album dropped so she probably feels like she had to say something.
She is Beyonce, she is gonna sell. She may not sell as much as she was going to since it leaked, and with the direction that she went in with this album, basically excluding pop, it may not appeal to her mainstream audience, but that doesn’t mean the album will flop.
More than likely she will get her No. 1 album and sell very first week!
Honestly besides ‘RTW’ (I DESPISE that song) I have LOVED everything I’ve heard from the album. I love the fact that she wasn’t afraid to do something different. She mixed a bunch of different sounds and went old school. She didn’t follow the current trend & nothing on the album sounds like ANYTHING on the radio today! She doesn’t have too many uptempo tracks, but the ballads are incredible & her vocals are beautiful. An album full of ballads & slow jams may not appeal to everyone, and she knows that, but she did what makes her happy. I have a feeling this album is like her ‘baby’ and she doesn’t care about chart positions, or No. 1’s, she just wanted to make music that she was proud of! I think she nailed it and I will be csn’t wait to June 28th to cop my album! Go Bey!!!
I’m not to thrilled about those 4 version of ‘RTW’ though……
THE ALBUM ISNT EVEN GOOD..THATS THE GAG OF THIS ALL SMH.. A LEAKED FLOP ALBUM WITH NO NUMBER ONE SINGLES??…KELLY IS GAGGING THE MOST IM SURE
The album is amazing, and timeless — that’s all that matters. Every song, she’s bringing something. Whether it’s vocals, instrumentals, lyrics , or just plain passion. This album is just…it definantly will touch hearts, I’ll leave it at that.
She has songs about heartache, LOVE (Grown love), having a great time & life. I just wish there were two more songs, 12’s really not enough.
My favorite songs are I Was Here, I Miss You, End of Time, 1 + 1, Party, I Care, & Love on Too. I even love Run the World now. The thing with Run the World & Countdown is that, even though the don’t have the best lyrics, they sound great on the album. Run the World & Countdown are really complimented well next to all the ballads. Rather Die Young & Best I Never Had are easily forgotten, but they’re still great songs & I love their lyrics.
IMO:
I Am… > 4 >>> Sasha Fierce>> B’Day (Deluxe) > Dangerously In Love >>> B’Day (Standard).
Yeah, I had to make it complicated. LOL.

ALL OF THIS!!!!
haha @ jesse u r soo dumb ur comment just made me laugh, rtw is the best song on the album to u, what are u 2??
i was here, i care, love on top, 1 plus 1 all skipped u and u thought rtw was the best
i pity ur soul, i know u have an opinion and all but if thats ur opinion then ur music taste is warped. like seriously? i am so shocked by ur comment
this doesnt give me bionic at all, its a much better album plus it will pull in bigger first wk figures. if rtw is really ur fav on the album then i am not surprised u dont like this album.
u r the reason music is dying.
people who love real music,vocal effort and want to hear ppl make true music will love this
people who hate it are delusional cos if jhud or alicia released this ish y’all will be praising it.
That 99c s*** is getting so old. Gaga didn’t have a Say so in selling her album for 99c ONLINE. That was Soundcloud who wanted to draw attention to their new promotions. They used Gaga to do that. Stop with that 99c s***. ITS STILL REGULAR PRICE IN STORES. You Act like it’s 99c at Wal-Mart or sumthing. Even Without the 99c record sales, Gaga STILL sold a Million within a week. Please Take A Seat Queens. Y’all just too stupid. Maybe if you educated yourself on the music business and marketing you would know the scheme of the execs who wanted to get rich off Gaga, But y’all f*** just so damn pressed that Gaga outsold all your Favs , so you “have” to hate. Is that 99c argument tha only one you have?
Rihanna sold Rated R for 99c , it sold 100K.

@thekiddz
As a madonna fan, 4 reminds me of bedtime stories.
I miss you is my favorite on the whole album also. Its beautiful, and I think with it being short as it is, it leaves you wanting more. her vocals are awesome on it.
DIL will always be her best to me. I still play that album to this DAY. Its classic, and genuine. Personally, I dont think any of her new albums can top it, but maybe she’ll surprise me.
@MadonnaLover
Ahhh Yes! Take a Bow my favorite Madonna song, I can see where you would draw remembrance to that album. And maybe it’s just me, but I personally don’t like Dangerously in Love as an album.
I think this album is a representation of who she is, or rather who she has GROWN to be. Her love for Jay, her love for old school music, harmonies, intricate melodies are all here. 4 is Beyonce through and through, not the woman behind all the gold and flashing lights, but simply Beyonce and for her to make an album that represents all of her, this has to be commended.
@ The Kiddz & Kavion:
It’s a great time to be a fan, isn’t it? All this anticipation has REALLY been worth it. This album will be the one that finally gets Bey the respect she deserves.
So far all my faves have delivered this year. And I still got two more to go.

Would you STFU!!! Damn! You Rih stans are so PRESSED & annoying as hell!! All ya’ll care about is No. 1’s and charts positions cause that’s all you’ve got considering the extreme lack of talent of the red headed twat you stan for!! Get off Bey’s c*** & go worry about your own damn fave!!
We know for damn sure she will sell more first week than your Queen and Bey will more than likely get a No. 1 album something that forehead has NEVER had!!
Even with Kelly’s No. 1 single we know damn well she can’t touch Bey in the sales department or on the stage! Neither Rihanna or Kelly can touch Bey period! I know you are a member of the R****** Navy so staying stupid s*** is all you’re capable of!
Don’t try to be cute & get your assed dragged b****!
Damn Beyonce, This album is amazing. I am truly impressed. Music like this makes me spend my money.
I find it TOO FAKE by y’all stans , who keep claiming that since this is a Ballad album, Beyonce doesn’t care about Selling alot or Charting. So when Gaga, does whatever the f*** she wants, makes an Album for her Fans about Freedom & Liberation, & Gaga does not care about Sells or Charting either and STILL manages to sell & chart, it’s a bad thing? I find that so fake. U people put Beyonce on a pedestal of not caring if she Flops, well Gaga doesn’t care if she flops either, she Sold more than expected but if she flops, she would keep doing her crazy s***. I don’t find it hard that two mega artists are the ones making the best & Realest music about “what they want”. And they just so happen to sell. I think Beyonce will push at least 600,000k. Stop saying that she will Flop cuz it’s not True.
@madonnafan really i personally thought dil was lackluster in my opinion its 4>bday>dil>iasf
and oh luv i miss u too,
and i really wish bey stans will stop bringing up the 99c thing, its amazons biz not gaga’s as u can see they planning on slashing prices on brits femme fatale, theres nothing labels can do, so if they end up slashing bey prices i dont want y’all to change the song u are singing now or else

I only allowed myself to listen to SOME of the album B4 it came out. I heard party & a cpl others only ONCE so I wont retain much of it B4 the LP drops.
Anyway, I can tell that Im gonna be able to AGREE with ALL of what you just said about 4 except DIL is way better than B’day & SF & IAM does S***!!.
Alright, this is my thing. I have NO problem with people saying that they don’t like it / aren’t buying it. However, give Bey her f***** props. She didn’t follow trends, she took risks, she sang her ass off, she delivered lyrically & poured every ounce of her soul into this record. It’s classic music & if it came out during the Motown / 90s R&B era, it would be iconic RIGHT NOW.
She’s not selling 200K, what the f***? Chris sold 275. Not knocking my boy, but he won’t sell more than Bey. Her fans are loving this album. It’ll do 350 – 400 K first week.

It feels like the most “her” she has been on a record. Its so timeless. Instantly this album will grow with u. along side u. Unlike bday, which was very much then and there. I
@yall are too fake i agree
bey stans end up making ppl hate beyonce
they need to stop with these comparisons
if other stans come for beyonce ignore them or in dire times criticize constructively
what bey stans dont realise is that by making these unnecasary comparisons they get other stans to believe that its a competition and thus they may not end up buying beys album just cos u have made it seem like a competition with their fav,
whats most annoying is that gaga and bey are friends and so are bey and ri
they complement each other all the time, i remember gaga even promoted rtw on her tour.
so bey stans really need to stop it with that, the reality is that y’all need monsters and the navy in this crucial time just as much as we might also need the beyhive in future so please TOGETHERNESS IS KEY
LOL @ the Crazy RIH Stans
4 SHITS ALL OVER LOUD & By Miles!!
Bey even has her own version of Weak ass Cheers & Man Down with Party & Countdown which Alone Shits all over LOUD!!
4 = REAL MUSIC
& F*** Lady Caca = NON MOTHER F***** FACTOR!!
@TRUE BLUE
It really is. Did you listen to the whole album? Favorite tracks?
She delivered! The only thing wrong with this era is promo & the lead single, it should’ve been End of Time. I really was scared for this album, but it blew me away. So many songs get me choked up.
Where would you rank it next to her other albums?
@S***
Just listen to it. As long as you still buy, it’s all good.
I placed DIL above B’Day. It’s just that the deluxe version of B’Day was better than DIL, lol. I Am… Sasha Fierce would’ve been ahead of 4, but she didn’t handle it well, so the I Am… portion is all that beats it.
@Y’all are too fake
you know they lack common sense…they’re going to sit here and cry hater this, hater that, but in the same breath they gonna bash another artist…
they dont realize they are one of the main reason people get turn off by beyonce, is because of them..the ruthless way they go about to show people beyonce is the best..
thats why I couldnt stan for nobody, I mean damn, being in their c****** 24/7, lashing out at people i dont even know, because they dont agree to my opinions…i couldnt do that s*** for free..
Anyone think the tour should be the ” I WAS HERE TOUR 2011″
@Kavion
The album leaked 3 WEEKS before the release. I mean…. In plus, beyonce has not been doing ANY promotion whatsoever! Both her singles have failed to reach the top 10 on billboard. IMO, beyonce will not do over 200k, UNLESS she starts promoting her ass off.
@Sammy and @thekiddz Im pretty sure we’re just gonna have to differ on the subject of DIL because, I grew up on the album. I could relate to the songs. Id sing my ass off to MMAI almost everyday…they lyrics, the quality, EVERY song. NO fillers whatsoever. Its really special to me. In regards to 4, ill have to take back what I said about her not growing. This album clearly shows growth (without the pointless uptempos like countdown) this album has a very mature sound. Easy on the ears.

I only like 5 out of 12 songs off the album.
I think its an attempt to go back to DIL quality, but it falls a little short.
This is a BAD move. beyonce should have stayed quiet, now people are gonna download her album more because she drew MORE attention the the fact it leaked.
I for one, wont be buying. An album where I only like 5 songs out of 12 is a waste of money, however, it isnt BAD, and she shouldnt do too bad first week. Probably around 200k at the most.
——————————————————————————–
GIRL BYE!!!! You’re the same ditzy b**** who was shading Chris the other day! You must still be high off your own ass to talk some s*** like that!
First of all, she HAD to address the situation! Everyone knew it leaked cause it was all over twitter! 200K at the most??? B**** are you delusional?!?!? She is f****** Beyonce! She hasn’t sold anything less than 400k first week her entire career! If you honestly think that her crazy ass die hard stans aren’t going go out full force come June 28th you’re crazy as hell!
LMAO, I’m the same way with Run the World. You would think I had a p**** the way I’ve been blasting that s***!
Who are WE? What do we RUN?! The WORLD!!
Good luck to beyonce
First of all, don’t put all Beyonce fans in a box like we’re all the same. I’ve never knocked any other artist, I critic, but I don’t bash. We can all have opinions. I hate how people really think all of us are shady, fake & delusional. Every artist has deluded, idiotic fans.
@MADONNA LOVER
Lupe Fiasco sold 200K, no promo, unsuccessful singles, record label drama. I Stan for Lupe & let me tell you, strong , loyal fan bases are EVERYTHING ! Bey has one of the strongest fan bases out there, there’s no way we’d allow her to underwhelm. Less than 200K, really? She has a million followers & hasn’t even typed a damn word. Not even “4”.

June 8, 2011 at 6:06 pm
ppl was expecting that bubble gum pop s*** they so use to hearing on the radio…when beyonce finally gives them real music..they bash it and say it wack which is sad..
————————————————————————————
THIS!!!
@VA stand up.
BYE. This post has nothing to do with chris so you can SIT.
It dosent matter if beyonce is “BEYONCE” (rolls eyes) that does NOT assure that she will sell at least 400k. consider the person in my damn icon, the legend that is madonna. American life didnt even sell 200k, and it was a solid album. Plus she had fans, like MUAH, who did their best to promote the s*** so it would sell more.
You cant just rely on her name and fans to sell albums. THATS NOT HOW IT GOES.
@RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX) “they dont realize they are one of the main reason people get turn off by beyonce, is because of them..”
This is a serious question…HOW does a fan base prevent you from really enjoying the MUSIC of an artist?
Lady Gaga’s fanbase is brutal, but I have absolutely enjoyed “Born This Way.” Rihanna’s fan base is brutal but i really enjoyed ‘Rated R.”
If we are talking about the MUSIC, how can people (a fanbase) prevent you from liking it?
I FIDN THW ALBUM VERY BORING! BUT I OVE BEYONCE AND I LOVE THE RELEASED SONG! THE OTHER ARE MEDIOCRE NO SONG I CAN ACTUALLY REMEMBER AFTER I TURN OFF MY ITUNES! ONLY THE RELEASED MATERIAL!
SLACKING FOR 72 SONGS RECORDED!
why do I have a feeling that beybey and her people leaked the album….
as much as the stans want to sit here and deny, deny, deny,
people are really getting tired of her..
after this album, she needs to take a real break..not that fake break, where she was still in the media, releasing songs, being on many magazine covers, getting her pic taking every single day
I’m talking about going away for a couple of years, let people miss you…get some real inspirations…learn how to form proper sentences…get a new lacefront, hell get a new hairstyle
“I’ve did, I’ve done everything I wanted and it was more than I thought it would be” giving me chills. So nice 2 here het talk about herself/ career/ life/ love like this. How moving will it be live? Tour finale, I think so,
# I WAS HERE TOUR 2011/2012
Poor Bey.
@ Kavion:
Fave tracks:
I Was Here (her BEST song EVER, IMO)
Countdown (it reminds me of DIL, even though ironically enough I’m not terribly fond of that album, but I LOVE this song)
I Miss You (see @The Kiddz’ description)
Start Over
End of Time (I wasn’t crazy about the demo, but the finished version is E-P-I-C!!!)
Love on Top (so reminiscent of Stevie Wonder)
1+1 (you already know how crazy I am about this song)
Rather Die Young
Hell, put aside RTW the whole album is perfection!
I feel that it’s her best album yet. The lyrical maturity, the musical diversity, the cohesiveness, it’s really the ultimate Beyoncé album.
I’d rank her discography in this order:
4
B’Day
IASF
DIL
i don’t think she cares, she’s still gonna sell anyway. B, u r no Lady Gaga, but who knows, u probably might sell as much, but I doubt it. Girl, change that weave, ur hair looks like trash on that pic!
i really dont think the beyhive is that stronng either that or thye mighty lazy cos they havent made any impact with her singles. so how sure are we that they will with her album cos i remember every1 assumed rtw will be a smash based solely on her stans but it wasnt
I was here tour #
Correction.
241k american life first week, and it still didnt live up to the expectations. it sold POORLY.
LOL!!! I thought she was gonna be cusses people out about the leak! 🙂
@SAMMY
exactly!!!! they are talking about how “STRONG” her fanbase is but her singles have done poorly on the charts! What do they think her album is gonna do?
@ Rated X:
EVERY artist’s album gets leaked, so I guess all artists also deliberately leak their own music for publicity?
And before you tell people to form proper sentences, learn to type as though you’ve actually made it past elementary school.
@BitchIcantevenspellwelfare
I’m not talking about music…I’m talking about beyonce herself….
theres alot of artists I CANT STAND, but if their music is great I will purchase their albums..
I will give them props, when props is needed..
my thing is, the beyonce stans makes it hard to like beyonce..because they act like beyonce is the only person in the world who can sing, dance, and perform…and they will attact anybody who says otherwise..they will go to the point of wishing death on people, hell even to the point of making fun of people mental disease…
the beyonce stans are the most ruthless people…and people get turn off by that….
hahahaha pressed..*dances to check on it*
@RatedXXX, B**** just know when fans of different Artists come to Queen Bey post and Start Disrespecting her and Hating on her. Those haters like you and your Fav will get Disrepected too.
B**** you will Deal It!
Kavion
June 8, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Alright, this is my thing. I have NO problem with people saying that they don’t like it / aren’t buying it. However, give Bey her f***** props. She didn’t follow trends, she took risks, she sang her ass off, she delivered lyrically & poured every ounce of her soul into this record. It’s classic music & if it came out during the Motown / 90s R&B era, it would be iconic RIGHT NOW.
She’s not selling 200K, what the f***? Chris sold 275. Not knocking my boy, but he won’t sell more than Bey. Her fans are loving this album. It’ll do 350 – 400 K first week.
@VA STAND UP
CO-SIGN.
————————————————————————————-
ALL OF THIS!!
Everyone is entitled to thier own ‘opinion’ but certain people are acting like they are speaking facts! GTFOH!! Like you said, this is classic music, she took it BACK and this album would have been considered a classic if it were released back in the day!It doesn’t appeal to her ‘pop’ crowd, but people who appreciate REAL music will love it! I can’t wait to hear the reviews for it!
Now Breezy is my boy, now if he sold over 250k first week after his album leaked & all the drama after GMA, WTF makes you think Bey won’t?!?! She has a die hard stan base that will buy this album JUST to prove her haters wrong! They know it leaked and they know what people are saying and they want to shut everyone! Plus, since this album appeals to a more mature fanbase who actually buy music instead of illegally download it!
I hate to bring up Gaga, cause I hate comparing artist, but Gaga’s album leaked and it sold 1.1 million copies!! So agaon, why the f*** do you think Bey won’t sell well first week? Clearly ‘some’ people mind frames is all the way f***** up!
*side eyes* Madonna Lover
I’m NOT a beyonce fan but I Dl the album (because it’s free) I honestly was expecting it to be s***. I LOVE this album, after listening to a few songs, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is a very great r&b Album. If you are a fan of r&b you would love it. The album made me a fan.
the best song on the album are: I care, I Miss you, Love on top, 1+1, start over, End of time,Rather die young. <3 Those songs made me cried!!! Damn Beyonce.
NO SHADE BUT THE REAL GAG IS THAT “LOUD” IS ACTUALLY A BETTER PROJECT THAN BEYAWNCE’S NEW ALBUM “FLOP”… BILLBOARD WAS SLAYED BY RHI RHI WITH HIT AFTER HIT LEAVIN YOUR FAV WITH NOTHIN BUT DUST TO PLAY IN…AND FLOP AROUND IN…”MAN DOWN” IS THE NEXT NUMBER 1..I PROMISE.. ITS NEVER GOOD WHEN YOUR WHOLE ALBUM LEAKS YET THEIR STILL NO SONGS ON IT THAT ANYBODY FIND TO BE A #1 HIT…SMH..POOR BEYAWNCE
she will sell 700k 1st week watch what i say
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0HE3N6JkyU
I was here!
@ Madonna lover:
Bey is far more of an album artist than a singles artist. That’s always been the case.
She’s never been one to have every single she releases smash records, but she’s always been consistent in album sales.
RTW didn’t succeed because even the majority of her fanbase couldn’t get behind it. Fortunately, it’s turning out to be a different story for this album.
Where can I get the leaked album?
B**** BYE. @VAstandup
all that s*** your fave chris brown did? PROMO. hell, he leaked his d*** to the whole world to get people talking about him, and make sure people knew about his album. I DONT wanna hear it. Beyonce cannot get anywhere without promo, it dosent matter how large her fanbase is. They can only do so much.
i cant take anybody comment serious that stan for rihanna..like really!?
@TRUE BLUE
I love I Was Her so much! It’s great to see her sing about LIFE. You know the legendary Diane wrote that right? Her best lyrics to date. I love I Miss You as well, I agree with you & TK. Love On Top reminds me of the Jackson Give – Where You Are, and I love it.
It’s really hard to name favorites because all of them are so amazing. I think the album’s damn near perfect, but if it had one more Fela / MJ inspired dance anthem & another soft ballad in the style of I Miss You…Jesus take the wheel.
She’s really grown musically, I love this. I’m sure her next album will be mostly uptempos now though. To please her “other” fans, you know, the simple-minded one’s who only want to pop that ass in the club? Those. 🙂
@ rhirhi is the queen ..im far from a beyonce fan but u r delusional to think rihanna is better beyonce …thats like saying usher is better than michael jackson….they already predicting her album to sell more than 600k…but i agree with derek on this one i think she gon sell more than that ..this is beyonce
@trueblue
I understand that, and you are correct about her being an album artist, HOWEVER if she wants to continue to have GOOD sales, she needs PROMO!
Another F***** Day Of Hate!!!!!!! I’m Glad she responded to her fans Only!!!!!!! B****** Are So F***** Evil and Envious!!!!!!! Her Album Will Be Fine!!!!!! Thanks To The Haters !!!!!! Keep Hating!!!!! She Will Sell Like Crazy!!!!!!! Can’t Wait!!!!!!!
EVERYBODY LOOK AT THIS AWESOME RIHANNA PERFORMANCE SHES SO TALENTED http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrrg-Vatkh8&feature=related
@RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX), I understand what you are saying but I have rarely come across Beyonce fans like that. Truthfully speaking, I think you can say the same thing about Justin Bieber, Madonna, Christina, Britney, Rihanna, Gaga, etc… fans. This is more of a symptom of “fandom” rather than Beyonce fans being something “particular.”
(Remember when Justin Bieber fans were sending death threats to Esperanza Spalding?)
@True Blue
Am I suppose to be offended by your comment?
Am I suppose to go in the corner and cry myself to sleep because, you dont like my comments?
for future reference, your opinions doesnt mean s*** to me.
I think ‘4’ really shows a different side of Beyoncé. A complete new artist. Screw ‘Run The World’, cause the rest is simply wonderful. Every song has it’s own story and the album is very versatile and there are A LOT of different influences. I just love the fact there’s nothing generic. My favourites are:
-‘I MISS YOU’: This would be my absolute favourite. I know the song seems a little ‘plain’ at first sight. But I love her vocals on this track. She is emphazing every little word on it, especially the line ‘Why is that?’ catches me everytime. The lyrics are simple, but very comprehensible.
– ‘I CARE’: The song shows a new side of B, which I love. I like her belts and the ‘laahlaaahs’ in the song.
-‘PARTY’: Very laid back and it brings back the ‘good-old-Beyoncé’-memories to me.
– ‘COUNTDOWN’: Even though the song sounds messy, I fell in love with it since my first listen. It reminds me a lot of older Beyoncé-songs (‘Crazy In Love’, ‘Freakum Dress’). Pure Energy
– ‘I WAS HERE: Beutiful Ballad. Great Lyrics.
@RHI RHI IS QUEEN

LOUD is WACK… GET OVER IT
Man Down & LTWYL2 are OK but the Rest BLAH… 😕
NO GREAT songs yet 4 has PLENTY of GREAT songs.
4>>>>>>> LOUD/FLOP.
@ Kavion:
Diane Warren wrote I Was Here? I didn’t know that. But she’s an incredibly talented songwriter, and I’m glad that Bey expanded her horizons with her writing team. I don’t know what took her so long.
And I think depending on how this era fares out, she might not look back on future albums. And I really hope so. Artists are supposed to take risks no matter what their fans might think. Regression is for suckers. 😉
@BitchIcantevenspellwelfare
I’m not saying that the beyonce stans are the only ones who talk s***..I’m saying they are the ones who talk the most s***….
they can dish it out but they cant handle when somebody else is dishing out back to them…
Ive seen alot of the stans on here who are the first to cry HATER, on other post calling other artist out of their names for no reasons, and yet when people say negatives things about beyonce, they are ready to go off..
I like britney, gaga, keri, kelly, jazmine..do you ever see me on their post going off at somebody because they say are flops..hell nawl..the only times you see me direct my comments to somebody is when they come at me sideways….
The album is F****** EPIC.

You cant just rely on her name and fans to sell albums. THATS NOT HOW IT GOES.
————————————————————————————–
You are the dumbest b**** on the planet! I don’t like your ass cause you shaded Chris, but you’re even dumber when it comes to Bey!
How the f*** are you gonna say its not about Chris then bring up Madonna’s beastly looking ass! Who the f*** is talking about an album that came out almost 10 years ago! F*** MADONNA! Beyonce is a legend, a CURRENT one! Not some old washed up h** like Madonna! You are soo stupid!!! Beyonce sells albums PERIOD!!!! She has ALWAYS opened at No. 1 and has never sold under 400k first week! She may not sell that much first week, but she will for damn sure sell more than some wack ass 200k!
Beyonce is one of the FEW artist who can sell on her name alone! Bey has given killer performances so far. ONE single didn’t perform well cause the single was WACK!!! Even her die hard fans said so! But you can bet they are the ones who were downloading it on itunes. It’s the general public who didn’t download the single cause they didn’t like it, but die hards fans will buy it regardless! The fact is, the album leaked and her fans are LOVING it!! They are gonna support the album cause that’s what fans do and YES that IS how it works!!!
If S****** Spears lame stiff no stage presence having ass can sell almost 300k first week with her horrible performances & average singles WTF makes you think Bey won’t?!? Even Breezy sold more than 200k and you are gonna try to say Bey isn’t! Bey is a bigger artist than both Britney & Chris!
Now you take your annoying Madonna loving ass & sit the f*** down somewhere!
@Rated XXX Boohoo, Boohoo b**** you want a damn tissue. We can talk the most s*** because Queen Bey is the Best!.
Hon you are Hater that will dish out plenty of Hate and then youre the 1 that cant handle Queen Bey Stans Dragging your Tired ass lol.
B**** go get some tissue U Cry Baby!
I havent heard the leak dont plan to but i trust the opinion of beyonce real fans here and on twitter(u know yourselves), commercial performance have been the worst of all eras thus far but i’ve neverbeen prouder to be a beyonce fan. its more than obvious where her focus is on this album. personally i dont think the leak will affect sales that much, those that only dependon illegal download will end up downloading the whole album illegally when its officially released anyway
if you’re buying multiple copies, buy them separately otherwise it counts as 1 sale. so i was advised on twitter
This album is amazing, it shows true talent and I think this album is for those who like real music…..Those that enjoy the pop/dance techno music will not like it….but who cares….
IF YOU LISTEN TO I WAS HERE….IT SHOWS YOU THAT BEY HAS DONE IT ALL…..HAD THE NUMBER 1 ALBUM, SINGLES AND TOURED AROUND THE WORLD….If the radio’s don’t play it nor it doesn’t chart as high but is deffo better than loud, femme whatever or gaga ishhh….
After listening to this I will deffo buy the album cos it’s soo good.
I = 6, My =5 ….in a single paragraph…

@RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX), “I’m not saying that the beyonce stans are the only ones who talk s***..I’m saying they are the ones who talk the most s***….”
lol! I don’t know about that. I think “fandom” has EVERYTHING to do with talking s***, right? 🙂 People go hard for their FAVS & I understand that. I’m a huge Janet fan, so I go through a lot of s*** because of that but I honestly don’t think any one fan base is “worse” than any other. However, if you think Beyonce’s fans are the “worst,” there’s nothing i can do I change your mind about that.
Do you like any songs from ‘4’?
The Cd is AMAZING…. King Bey takes her crown that she lent out for the others to see what it feels like to be on top..Bey said imma need that back now thanks lmao

sweety I wouldnt call crying like a b****, dragging somebody a**..
how about you get a tissue to wipe beyonce p**** juice out of ur mouth………..
u stans are a joke…
i mean really b**** get a hobby, it cant be good for ur health to be stuck on somebodys c*** like that, for free
Um 21 is better than 4, but 4’s good competition for it.
Rate these albums best to worst:
21
4
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Born This Way
L.A.S.E.R.S
Femme Fatale.
I think they’ll be leading the 2012 Grammys.
I’m going to give props when it is due
I respect her that she did not go the POP Route BUT!
This album is WEAK!!! The behive are delusional at best..
I Hate the fact that yall always put beyonce over everyone and put down other artist to make her seem so great. This women does not do nothing amazing her MUSIC is weak I have always said his it’s her performance that makes her so great.. Her best album is DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE and you will all DEAL. This album does nothing to me and I am not a hater I just hate her stans.
This will be her lowest selling album I can bet you on that.
No single has what it takes to SMASH.
For people to be calling her Queen she should not be flopping on her 4th album….
And LOOOOL at her fans saying her album will sell just because of her name alone Last time I checked Run The World was supposed to smash just because of her name alone lets not go there… it will open with at least 300,000
I forgot F.A.M.E! Add that! Lol
Dangerously In Love —-> I Am..Sasha Fierce —-> B Day ————-> 4
@RatedXXX lol B**** you need to get another Job bcuz I know all this Hating you be doing on Queen Bey aint paying the bills.
Haters like you are a Joke! Like b**** really get another job!
I’m not a fan but I did find the album just now & about to get ready to fall asleep! Lets give her a listen….
@VA stand up
Oh HELL to the F*** no. who the hell are you to talk about madonna’s looks? f*** you. madonna is a LEGEND, just like you “claim” beyonce is, it was just a comparison. Give me a break.
The point is NOT that the album came out 10 years ago, its the fact that madonna found herself in the same situation beyonce did, and just like beyonce madonna is a LEGEND and has fans all across the world, DIE HARD fans who support her and bought the f****** album but, she had little promotion and controversy and we as fans couldnt do it ALONE. It sold 241k.
Beyonces albums before had PROMO, and didnt have messy handlings of singles and promotion. Thats why they sold so well. You can say all you want about britney and her “wack” performances and singles but she promoted her ass off and did decent first week. Her promotion was ORGANIZED, and she didnt have s*** leaking left and right. I dont wanna hear that s*** about an artist being able to sell off just their name because that ISNT TRUE. Countless LEGENDS have released albums and have NOT sold up to par, yeah EVEN f****** MJ. you are the delusional one you ASS. f*** you.
Oh and BTW, that old washed up h** you refer to is THE BEST SELLING FEMALE ARTIST of all time, even with flop albums. Beyonce? nowhere close. BYE B****.
@BitchIcantevenspellwelfare
lol…I just dont see the point in going that hard for somebody you dont know…maybe its me..
I actually like best I never had…I think thats the best song on the album…I have that song on repeat
party is also ok, but honestly I like andre 3000 part the most..
1+1 actually grew on me, i didnt like it at first..
I havent heard the rest of the album so, I cant judge on the other songs..
She could just shut up. The album sucks. Why is she shipping 1 million? Is she tryina compete with gaga? She’s so desperate and pressed.
@ Kavion:
In order of my personal favorites this year:

I haven’t listened to Femme Fatale and don’t plan to, so don’t care.
Btw, does my new name make me look a bit stan-ish? 🙂
Hate Beyonce and Her Fanbase!!!!!! Yet You Come On Every F***** Post!!!!!! Get The F*** Outta Here!!!!! Wasting Your Damn Breath!!!!! Her Fans Will Always Support Her Music,Movies,Perfume Clothes Etc; So Kill Yourselves Hating !!!!!! Noone Gives A F***!!!!!!! You Make Her Even Bigger Than She Is!!!!!!! That’s Why She’s An Icon!!!!!!! Keep Waking Up Everyday Being Jealous and Full Of Hate!!!!!! God Has Blessed Beyonce and Theirs Not A Damn Thing You Can Do To Change Greatness!!!!!!! So Keep Crying and Whining Every Damn Day!!!!! Dumbasses
Whether you enjoy the album or not is OPINION. I hate that peole have to call us delusional because we liked it? I’m a huge fan of ballads, Motown, 90s R&B & Rock-Soul, so I loved it. Don’t calk me delusional because I like something.
It’s cool that Bey responded
Ever since I heard Run The World (Girls) I knew I would love where Beyonce was going with “4.” It exceeded my expectation and they were pretty high.
I Miss You- got me teary-eyed. I love when her background voice grew louder
Love On Top- is my jam *do carefree dance
I Care-love it so much the lyrics, her voice, the harmonies with the guitar
I Was Here- love the the rock vibe mix with the soft “just because”
Countdown-is so fun 🙂 love when it go BO BO, grind upon it
Party-is BAD [I told my girl you can get it.] Bey and Andre 3000 make me believe I like to party :-). Hey hey “Black like having your cousin back.”
Start Over-is so sweet to my soul *do slow dance
Rather Die Young-like sweet honey
End Of Time-I feel like I’m in a darn Carnival every time I listen to it. So fresh.
Those tracks, and the other 3…AMAZING work Beyonce.
See. When you shade madonna, I WRECK s***.
@Prince&Queen Bey
I’m not even gonna respond to your petty comments..because unlike you everything i do, i get paid for it..
you have been dismissed
please how many uptempos are on the album guys?
@KING B
LOL, a little. I love it though!
I feel the exact same way about those albums. What are your favorite songs off 21?
@Madonnalover
lol…they have to bash other artists, dont you get this by now?
thats how they get off….
@Madonnalover Actually,MJ studio albums sold over 10 million copies each,but more importantly,he never flopped in his prime.His sales declined due to the media and the 2 cases.
@truetalent
Of course…but im SAYING, his last studio album only did over 300k first week. Id think people were expecting him to do 500k and over because he is “MJ” , but he didnt.
@Rated XXX B**** please the only job your Cry Baby ass got is Hating on Queen Bey!
Lol B**** now you are Dismissed you Cry Baby you!
Deal With It! Cry Baby
@ratedxxx(akaratedx
swear down of all beyonce haters, you’re the biggest hypocrite. am no fan of rihanna but you bash her in related and non-related posts, u do the same with beyonce and then u say her fans bash other artists? are u any better??
oh the irony
so she still alive?
why she aint promoting s*** then can a bey stan explain this to me?

Amen!
@katdelunafan
EXACTLY.
Beyonce has come full circle the growth in her music & vocal delivery is more present than ever. She has truly stepped in a lane of her own.
I love the whole album, but my 5 fav. are:
“I was Here”- Passion. Passion. Passion.. Beyonce wants us to know that she has left her mark and that she gave her all.. Listening to it you absolutely get the feeling that through Beyonce’s perspective her Destiny has truly been Fulfilled.
“Countdown”- This is my jam!! After hearing this song I just can’t imagine why she released ‘Run The World’ (Girls), as the first single. This song is so strong the breakdown during the countdown is infectious. The song screams summer through and through. Takes me back to my Destiny’s Child days. The girl I fell in love with, the Bee I truly love. BOMB.COM/ORG/NET!!!
“Rather Die Young” – Beautiful song. I love the throwback to 70’s and 80’s music. The vocal pattern really takes you to the days where music just sat in your soul. The chorus has that Glady’s feel to it. Makes me some kinda way. The ooohh’s remind me of her classic ‘Dangerously In love’ album.
“Miss You”- This song will likely get the most play from me out of the entire album. When I heard Frank Ocean penned the track I should have known it was destined for greatness. The lyrical content matches Beyonce’s husky vocal effortlessly such a beautiful marriage. Timeless!!
“Love On Top”- This song definitely takes me back to the days of Motown. Everytime I listen I just groove to the beat and it is so reminicent of the Jackson 5 sound. The end tops it for me when she just keeps going higher and higher.
All in all I would say this is Beyonce’s best album. It is cohesive and each song tells a story. My only problem is that “Run The World (Girls)” does not belong on the album. It doesn’t go with the flow or content that the rest of the songs have.

That’s so hard to decide. Every song is literally nothing less than perfect. But some of my faves are:
One and Only
Turning Tables
He Won’t Go
Someone Like You
Set Fire To The Rain
Don’t You Remember
Lovesong
Rumor Has It
It’s just an all-around CLASSIC album. I’m confident that if it had been released 40 years ago, it would’ve been enjoying just as much, if not to say MORE success and acclaim than it is now. It’s timeless music.
@BEY KNIGHT
There’s only 2, unless you include Love On Top, but that’s really reaching.
@Madonnalover I know that but you have to realize that the timeing was bad because of 911 attack.
poor beyonce….. look for something else to hype this album up i.e. ask jay to punch you
Kat Deluna!!!!!! Maybe Because She’s A Grown Woman and She Will Promote When She Feels Like It!!!!! Hell I Don’t Blame Her!!!!! Anything She Does Is Never Enough!!!!!!! All Everyone’s Doing Is Yapping!!!!!! F*** Em!!!!!! I Will Wait On The Album
@RATED XX
I’m a Bey Stan & I NEVER bash anyone.
@TRUE BLUE
Do you think she’s releasing any other singles? I loveRITD, but it’s getting played put. Lol.
It really is timeless, I feel 4 is to. They remind me A LOT of eachother.
Yo RAGGEDY RihANNa this you little troll —–> ” I make music to make people happy ”
No one is interested in your continued lies and cheap gimmicks. Beyonce makes music that ppl enjoy not music that makes ppl angry and annoyed or that she has to explain and defend!!
* ‘4’ is in stores in 2 weeks haters!! Get your credit cards and cash ready now!! 🙂
She should not of addressed the leak, now she has brought attention to it, people will go and download it
I LOVE this album and I think it’s one of her best albums. As a Beyonce Stan I must say I’m nervous about this album because she has done little promo and now the album leaked 3 weeks early. But I’m still going to buy my 6 copies 5 in the store and 1 on itunes!
@RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX), see, you put the biggest smile on my face. 🙂 “Best Thing I Never Had” has almost ruined my computer at this point because i’ve played it so much.
Just focus on the music.
By the way, I love Jazmine Sullivan. All the way back to the song that she did with Kindred and the Family Soul- “I Am.” Brilliant singer.
@bey’knight brutal
how do I bash rihanna? by saying she cant sing? by saying shes stiff as f***? by saying shes only relevant because of the camel?
or is it because i bash her for using a serious case like domestic violence to sell records?
i fail to see the hate that i have for rihanna..
or let me see, when the stans claim shes a better singer, dancer, performer than beyonce, and i disagree, that means I’m bashing her?

B**** BYE. @VAstandup
all that s*** your fave chris brown did? PROMO. hell, he leaked his d*** to the whole world to get people talking about him, and make sure people knew about his album. I DONT wanna hear it. Beyonce cannot get anywhere without promo, it dosent matter how large her fanbase is. They can only do so much.
——————————————————————————————–
First of all, who the hell is even talkeing about a d*** pic? Why are you on Breezy’s d***?! How the hell do you know he leaked it?! What does have to do with anything? How is seeing a pic of someone’s genitals promo?? Seeing someone’s d*** isn’t gonna make anyone buy an album!! All it’s gonna do is make them talk about his d*** it’s takes the focus OFF the music! B**** how stupid are you!
I never said Chris didn’t have promo! LEARN HOW TO READ B****!!! He had promo, but it was minimal! SNL was a month before his release date & didn’t do s***! GMA was s*** cause everyone wanted to talk about was what happened backstage and not about his performance! It just brung up the Rih situation again which was more harmful than good!
All he really had was radio interviews & blogs to support him! His album went No. 1 cause people were feeling the MUSIC& his FANS went out to support! Chris doesn’t have the fanbase that Beyonce has and you know it so don’t act stupid b****!
Beyonce has been on Oprah, American Idol, she got a tribute at the Billboard Awards like a Queen & she shut the stage DOWN!!! All the true die hard fans are feeling the album! Beyonce can sell more than Chris & she for damn sure sell more than Britney!
Your arguement is WEAK! You don’t even have one!! Lady Gaga, Britney, CB’s, Rihanna and so on albums ALL leaked so WTF makes you think this is gonna hurt Beyonce! She will sell more than some damn 200k!
I just started playing I Miss You again, s*** gave me chills like no other…
Geesh!!!!!!! Good F***** Day!!!!!
@Yellow Gorillah
F*** YOU!!…
Saying 4 is “WEAK” & you over here stanning for LOUD??
ANNOYING TASTELESS B****!!
FAIL & NEXT ==>>
@Geronimo Deuces that wasn’t nice. Jay-Z dont need to be abusive like Chris Breezy.
Lets keep it cute.
4 = REAL MUSIC
#THE END
Im more confused by the fact that someone says they don’t like Beyonce, yet passes several post with less comments, just to type paragraphs on a Beyonce post.
Im not feeling rihanna this time around, but I only post a comment when she actually does something I like. They is no need to spread my dislike to prove some sort of point…
And Im not worried about Beyonce’s sell, but I do wish she was promoting. But I understand whats she’s doing
FUNNY IVE BEEN POSTING THE DOWNLOAD LINK ON NUMEROUS OUTLETS AND THE GENERAL OPINION SEEMS TO BE THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN FLOPTASTIC EVEN IF IT DIDNT LEAK…ITS BEYOND BORING…FLOPS RULE THE WORLD WAS THE WORST SINGLE IVE HEARD IN THE PAST 6 YRS AT LEAST..AND IT DIDNT EVEN FIT WITH THE REST OF THE ALBUM…JUST TERRIBLE..OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAS FALLEN SMH
I gotta say this is her best album. I actually pre-ordered it after I heard it in full. People who are fans of music will like it. It is an R&B record with some African influences. Nice sample on ‘Countdown’ and her final ballad ‘I Was Hear’ is deep man. None of it is original but it is refreshing. I know she can perform the hell out of it too.
@Kavion
Thanks. of course RTW is 1, from the comments here, countdown sounds like the other, am i right?
just for myself. i’ll add end of time as well and if “love on top” gets me bodied on the dancefloor, i’m a reacher! fopefully 1 or 2 of the bonus tracks will be uptempo too or at least in the vein of End Of Time- thats my fav beysong ever
Prince&Queen Bey

why do you have to bring chris bronws name?? even with the incidence rihannas album didnt make it to number 1 so STFU
@Imgunnacheckuboo
June 8, 2011 at 5:37 pm
Why would she call attention to a leak by responding to it? Don’t they usually just try to clean it up and not call attention to it?
*********************
The media is so full of sh*t! They are the ones who tell the fans and others when things are leaked! If they don’t like an artist or want that artist not to do as well as some others (all media is currently kissing Gaga’s as*) they will proudly state that songs or a CD has leaked. Some have even provided links!
dead at MTF comapring ‘4’ to ‘femme fatale’ and ‘Born this way’
‘4’ is better by a intergalaxycal miles SMH -_-
@ Kavion:
I have no idea what she has in mind for US singles, but I think Turning Tables might be it. But seeing as she’s unable to perform for now, her label isn’t rushing to put out any new singles. I really hope One and Only becomes a single, though.
I’m just so proud of my faves this year. Especially Bey. She really surprised me,and in the best way possible. I also feel immensely relieved. Now it’s FloMac’s new album I’m waiting on!
where is the link to this album?? anyone??
@BEY’KNIGHT
Yes, Countdown’s reminiscent to B’Day, mostly Deja Vu. Oh yeah! End of Time is pretty unptempo. Love On Top is upbeat, it sounds like Gospel. It has a Mariah / Stevie / Jackson 5 vibe. Where You Are is a great comparison though.
I’m telling you though, the ballads outshine the he’ll out of the dance tracks!
@MuzikJunkie
DONT BUY THEM ALL AT ONCE THOUGH, IT’LL COUNT AS ONE SALE…FOR EVERYONE BUYING MULTIPLE COPIES, MAKE SURE THEY ARE ON DIFFERENT TICKETS ( caps for emphasis btw)
@BitchIcantevenspellwelfare
lol..I know the song is that good. you can actually feel what shes feeling, and what shes saying..
best I never had should have been her first single..
cause we need more R&B music like that out there, f*** trying to compete with the dance, pop crap thats out there.
@True Blue, Kavion, BEY’KNIGHT BRUTAL, S***, VA STAND UP!!, et al….
I am sitting here trippin’ b/c I have not heard the album yet but I’ve been reading what yall have been saying about it. I cut myself off after “Best Thing I Never Had,” but I am going through Bey withdrawal. lol! I wanna hear it so bad but I will wait until 6/28!!!!!
Good time to be a Beyonce fan. 🙂
damn..i hate to hear that happened..hope she still sells a surplus of albums..:/
…Didn’t even have to go shopping 4 Father’s Day…Walmart been giving back becuz a lawsuit they just got…lol i got 2 of em .. http://goo.gl/1WmQw
@Geronimo Deuces bcuz i know Chris is ur fav and for you to say Queen Bey my Fav should tell Jay-Z to punch her was unecessary,mean and that would be Abusive for Jay-Z to punch Queen Bey.
I don’t care about Rihannas album not going #1 that’s not my fav
Deal With It! And GTFO!
@Rhi Rhi The Queen
And? Your hear for talentless red head b****** who sound like goats, can’t sing, and only make songs u can suck a d*** to in the bathroom while being whipped. GTFO
LOL when did Beyonce start responding via Facebook ? Beyonce is finished!!!!
@KING B
I’ll be happy with anything. The radio needs soul. I’m so proud of Bey, I’d never expect an album this good in this day & age from an already established, mainstream artist.
Florence’s album better kill it! She needs to be recognized by the mainstream community as well.
@BITCHICANTEVENSPELLWELFARE
Let me just say this, if you love SOUL, this album will take you to new heights.

@KAVION
you have no idea how bad am fighting temptation reading these comments but 18 DAYS LEFT! from the comments i could kinda tell people are feeling ballads most esp I WAS HERE. for me ballads grow on me, it dont matter who- toni,leona, mariah,celine.mj,adele. i think the only person that had me at hello is whitney when it comes to ballads
@HeHe!!!!!! Thank You for supporting Beyonce and Yes She Is Aware Of This Site and She Do Know We Exist!!!!! That’s A Fact!!!!!!

@ BITCHICANTEVENSPELLWELFARE:
LOL, you have way more willpower than I do. I initially promised myself that I wouldn’t listen to the leak, but I couldn’t help it.
@ Kavion:
I know, especially since Lungs is a masterpiece. One of the best and most memorable albums ever, which sets a REALLY high bar as a debut album. I just hope that her label doesn’t force her to make her music more commercial-sounding for mainstream success. I still want her to keep the experimental aspect of her music.

See. When you shade madonna, I WRECK s***.
——————————————————————————
You wreck s***?!?! What did you wreck?? B**** you can’t even get facts straight!! Your desperate ass had to bring up Madonna brung up a damn near 10 year old album to try to prove a point that you DON’T HAVE!!
Madonna IS a old shrilved up H**! She is full of botox & looks like a damn man in the face & has a body to match! Even her damn husband left her ass cause he said she was like sleeping with a man! All the plastic sugery in the world couldn’t make her look better! Don’t get mad, it’s the TRUTH! Face it!
Madonna is a legend cause like Lady Gimmick she relies controversy! She made friends with the gays (everyone knows the gays are the most supportive fanbase) & was constantly taking shots at the catholic church and mocking the bible. Madonna could NEVER sing or dance! She was a s** symbol in her prime, cause Lord knows she is PAST her prime, and relied on her looks and over the top antics to sell! Madonna reigned in a time BEFORE the internet took over and people still bought albums, that is why she was so successful! She was known for her ‘shock’ factor and if she wasn’t as over the top as she was, she would have never made it cause she doesn’t have a voice to fall back on!
Beyonce SHITS on Madonna every way! Bey can sing, put on a damn show and she has won more Grammy’s than Madonna’s non singing ass has in half the amount of time! Even Elton John called out Madonna for her wack ass performances!
Beyonce is a legend a MODERN day one! That is why she got honored like a legend at the BillBoard Music Awards.
The old washed up H**, a.k.a MANDONNA can’t not hold a candle to Bey! She has been replaced by another gimmick known as Lady Gaga! NO ONE GIVES A F*** ABOUT MANDONNA anymore! Deal with it!!

@BitchIcantevenspellwelfare
i havent either and i wont, the only leak i listened to was End Of Time(kickin myself for doing that). the rave reviews its getting is enough to wet my appetite, well actually it feels like am torturing myself in a way. it comes to me on the 24th. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE STAND TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY
Killing me softly and Im still falling…
“still the one I do this 4….Imma trying to make us 3……from the 2… still da 1…”
Yeah Beyonce might get pregnant after “4” era……
@KING B, lol!!! It’s been SO hard. i’m going to hold out though.
6/28
1. Go to Best Buy for “4”
2. Go to liquor store for Chardonnay.
Bey will run this day for me. 🙂

I gave in….LOL. But in my defense, I’ve preorder the album from Itunes and Amazon, and I plan on buying the deluxe version 2 times. One for work and one for home.
I was tired of listening to Adelle, I loveeeeeeeeeee 21, but I got wore out, so I needed this.
@BEY’KNIGHT BRUTAL, yes!!!!!!!!!! Don’t do it! lol! We definitely stand together in solidarity on this. It.is.SO.hard. 🙂
By the way, you are going to LOVE “End of TIme.”
@ARE YOU SERIOUS?
good! on twitter,some of lil monsters were opposing the leak whereas rihanna navy were spreading links . says it all doesnt it
@BEY KNIGHT
Oh, the album might have to grow on you then. Especially since they’re old school ballads. It’s amazing though.
@KING BEY
Have you heard that woman’s voice? You can’t commercialize raw vocals. Her & Adele need to hop in the studio for Flo’s album!

how did u figure? i already love it. am originally nigerian so i was already exposed to fela’s music. that’s the song that she and fela! band worked on together. this may be premature but its looking to become my favourite beyonce song of all time, well if kanye approves lol
@ the truth..nope actually the real fans will buy it up like no other ..i mean she is beyonce no matter what she is gonna sell like a mutherfucka…@riri is the queen (lmao) u r dumber than i thought u were cause the b**** u stan for is actually a beyoncefan herself (lmao again u r so dumb how old r u

@Kavion
Hey what is up? 🙂
@ kashai ..i agree
my theory
1. beyonce was afraid her album was going to flop 2. she leaked her own album 3.if her album flops its early leak will be a good excuse (see ciara’s fantasy ride) 4. now the fans feel sorry for her and will buy her album now..
@SWEETHE♥RT (A.K.A. ICON), like BEY’KNIGHT BRUTAL said, don’t do it. Wait! Join us! lol!
Beyodel is a money hungry,media w**** who sold out back when DC came out with survivor..smh..she’s a fake..a phoney and she sells is T&A
*from
I Just have no interest in Beyonce and this album AT ALL. Like ugh …this is nothing new, she does nothing for me.
I’ll try and make an effort though, Like is there ANY good songs on 4 …because so far ive only heard RTW and 1+1 and neither does anything for me.
@BEY’KNIGHT BRUTAL, I didn’t know if you had listened to it only once or if you had it on repeat. If you only listened to it once, that is why I told you that you are going to LOVE it. But if you’ve already listened more than once, well, OF COURSE, you already love it. 🙂
think about it. Beyonce is an ELITE.. shes not ciara or keri hilson Beyonce is an ELITE artist.. her album would NEVER LEAK.. this is intentional she did it herself.. this current album is AMAZING .. growth,maturity and real music. ive never heard her do songs like this.. i can hear the passion in her voice the love for music.. like shes really in her element.. i think 4 is her best album
I can’t stand Beyonce stans….. So childish. why bash other artists to make Bey look better? So un-classy.
@ICON
I’m just playing the hell out of “4”. It’s amazing, timeless, iconic, etc. 🙂
I havent heard the album, but i am intrigued by what opinions I have heard… I love me some classic R&B, so that right there in itself gets my vote… I will be buying even if i happen to hear the album before it’s released…
BTW, I am an R&B fan & a lil bit a of a Pop lover… Gaga & Beyonce both bring something different to the table of music. Why can’t we as ppl appreciate that. This is why we as a nation are always @ war with other countries. We can’t agree on a damn thing even something as simple as music. smh
@DION_ISH
Just wait until the album drops, you’ll love it. The ballads are amazing, I think you’ll love “I Miss You” and Countdown.
@Y’all Are So Fake
Yeah, because all of us are the same. Way to generalize.
@WHY DON’T WE…HOW ABOUT NOT
I 100% agree.
@DION-ISH
Even though I LOVE Beyonce, I’m NOT the type of person/stan/fan or *whatever* who will go around cursing and bitching – BUT I think that if you listen to ‘END OF TIME’, ‘MISS YOU’ and/or ‘PARTY’, you will
@Kavion
I keep trying to listen to the whole thing, but Countdown is on repeat. The instrumentation is EVERYTHING and her flow is sicker than ever. I love the lyrics and her breathy vocals in the harmonies.
@THE KIDDZ
OK…Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll keep those in mind. she must be doing more ballads this time around.
@HOP-SCOTCH
OK….Someone else suggested “Miss You” as well so imma check it out.
@Dion-Ish
No problem. The album mostly consists of Mid-tempos with the exception of RTW and Countdown, but I remember you saying a long time ago that you love her ballads along with Christinas (I think that was you). They’re very Stevie Wonder inspired and some Jackson 5, her lyrics are mature and you can feel every bit of what she’s singing about.
WHAT IF BEYONCE RESPONDED? SHE CAN DO WHATEVER THE F*** SHE WANTS.
THE ALBUM WAS GREAT AT FIRST LISTEN. MY FAVS SO FAR ARE “END OF TIME” AND “I WAS HERE” . RUN THE WORLD FEELS LIKE WHEN MADONNA ADDED “VOGUE” IN THE SOUNDTRACK FOR D*** TRACY: A BIT OUT OF PLACE.
I THINK THIS IS A COOL STRATEGY. LEAKING THE ALBUM LONG BEFORE THE RELEASE. BEING A GOOD ALBUM PEOPLE WILL HEAR THE LEAK (PROBABLY LIKE IT) AND BUY IT. IT’LL BE A BIGGER SELLER THAN IT WAS EXPECTED TO BE NOW.
AND – The album is COMPLETELY different from anything out now – IT IS NOT POP OR STRICTLY R’n’B… I AM A FAN OF GOOD MUSIC AND BEYONCE HAS REALLY OUT-DONE HERSELF THIS ERA
…THE ALBUM ENCOMPASSES ELEMENTS OF
– TRIP-HOP (A British Grime/R’n’B alternative that is composed of down-tempo electronic music and hip-hop. The last album to use this genre, which was mainly used throughout the late 80’s to early-mid 90’s was ‘SADE’S, SOILDER OF LOVE’)
– JAZZ
– BLUES
– ALTERNATIVE ROCK EVEN – (IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY, YOU WILL FIND IT ON ‘COUNTDOWN’ AND ON A COUPLE OF STRINGS IN ‘PARTY’)
You can also the African/Caribbean vibes in almost every song.
The only song which I would consider *MAINSTREM* OR POP (EVEN THOUGH IT ISN’T) – would have to be RTW, which is why I feel it was released as the lead single…But it was a BIG mistake, nonetheless, the album is NEAR-PERFECTION AND I WILL DEFINETELY BE BUYING 10 COPIES!!!
THIS PROJECT IS THE BIGGEST FAIL OF 2011..LMAO. THE 5 ELITE NOW ARE RHI RHI, GAGA, KATY, KESHA AND KELLY…ALL WHICH HAVE ACHIEVED PRESENT DAY SUCCESS IN 2011 WITH SUCCESSFUL NUMBER 1 SINGLES. YOUR ONLY AS BIG AS YOUR LAST HIT, NO POINT IN MENTIONING HITS FROM YESTERYEAR..2011 IS ONLY RESERVED FOR HITMAKERS..THESE OTHERS GIRLS TRYNA RULE THE WORLD CAN JUST TAKE A SEAT… SEVERAL
@THE KIDDZ
Yesss I Loveee the ballads on I Am… and Bionic ..Thats True.
Im excited to hear it now
@ Kavion, @The Kiddz and everyone else who has heard this album:
If “I Miss You” were to be released, this would make a great cover for the single, no?: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7nyqiAOPN1qcj1zfo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1307659063&Signature=iHyvMJGMibzXMR6M%2BMB4dZFeAXM%3D
FLOP. FLOP. I DONT LIKE ALL THE SONGS.
NEXT. POOR QUALITY ALBUM
You Beyonce fans will eat up anything she does so its hard to take your point seriously, but I get the feeling that this is her last album.
Imma buy the album and I can wait until I listen to the rest of the leak songs. I liked Run the world, 1 +1 and Best thing I never had. Beyonce has nothing to prove in this industry. She has numerous awards and sold numerous of records. She is a damn icon. I love Beyonce and always will.
Beyonce and Ciara all day!!!!!!!!!!!
@BitchIcantevenspellwelfare @Icon
yay we have 3 on the team so far. it definitely helps knowing there others out who want it as bad but willing to hold out but the reception its getting is such a damn tease
@THE KIDDZ
Lol, I love Countdown, but for me it’s I Miss You. I keep playing I Was Here, Party & I Care to. Best I Never Had looks so f***** generic compared to the rest of “4”..
I was here = save the hero…deep…
This album is a pure failure. It is actually the most boring album of the year.
Despite the mega hype promo and exposure run the flop (beyonic) failed to reach #1.
Everyone should take some notes from what her dumb and delusional stans are writing. Cuz they will be making a hell of excuses when this album flops.
To those who plan to buy multiple copies, i would like to let u know that when xtina released bionic one of her fans desperately bought over 200 copies to prevent the album from flopping but it flopped anyway.
So my advice is : BUY A LOT OF TISSUES TO WIPE UR TEARS.
SEE U SOON.
Mariah f***** Carey & Mary J Blige are still making music. WHY THE HELL would this be Bey’s last album?
If us Beyonce stand ate everything up, RTW wouldn’t have flopped. People really need to stop talking out their ass.
I have had it with this f****** stupid site, ugh.
@ The Kiddz:
I’m in love with Countdown too, as well as EOT.

June 8, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Alright, this is my thing. I have NO problem with people saying that they don’t like it / aren’t buying it. However, give Bey her f***** props. She didn’t follow trends, she took risks, she sang her ass off, she delivered lyrically & poured every ounce of her soul into this record. It’s classic music & if it came out during the Motown / 90s R&B era, it would be iconic RIGHT NOW.
She’s not selling 200K, what the f***? Chris sold 275. Not knocking my boy, but he won’t sell more than Bey. Her fans are loving this album. It’ll do 350 – 400 K first week.

@VA STAND UP
Jennifer Lopez new album shits on “4”. B**** u will stay pressed.
Well Im not a fan of Beyonce but I will admit out of curiosity I did dl the album and to my surprise I do like it, It was better than I expected it is better than her last one but for some reason I don’t think she will sale because its so different and kind of boring she is singing with a lot of force on mostly all the songs and that will make it a album you only could listen to when the mood hits you unless your one of her gay male fans that is pretending to be her I bet the gays are about to go crazy over it its very “drag performance”.
Oh I for got I’m sorry but its not better than Lady G’s album BTW is the best album of the year but at the same time Beyonce did her little thing.
I love bey but sorry this is her weakest album after bday. She will never match the DIL success. I won’t buy this album.
@AYISHEMOORE
In YOUR Opinion BTW is the best …..Its not particularly a true statement. Not by my means anyway…
Will be at Target on 6/28 to support ‘4.’ Looking forward to it.
Okay so I listen to the album….& I can say she has about 2 or 3 cuts that pretty good…..the rest is………..too much! I can say it’s definitely different from her other albums.
The singles have flopped so we shall see. I don’t predict the album doing major numbers.
I’m not a big fan of “King Bey” but this album is some of her best work. i just listened to it 3 x’s. Her vocals are amazing, she really put her heart and soul into this album. Its not what people are expecting, i believe she kept it real simple, i think she is showing her more “regular chick” side, its not superstar beyonce at all. Thats what makes this album amazing and relatable. i’m definitely buying A copy!
Love this genius. THEY LEAKED IT. Here’s why:
– It will not outsell Gaga’s first week. They can blame the leak for this reason.
-All of B’s albums usually leak a bit early. This gives the album the nice buzz it needs (because this album needs buzz).
– Fan feedback for the next single.
Albums do not just leak like that unless there is a reason.
@KING B
The people here are getting annoying as f***. Too many trolls & people who thrive on negativity.
I miss the old TGJ. 🙁
Do you just Love Beyonce? I do!!! June 28 csnt get here faste enough!
Dont worry Be all fans will buy the album
meant dont you
@ eric ..agreed
great reviews on this album…rolling stone said its the best to date……..and im no fan of beyonce but everybody knows this woman album is gonna sell like crazy …im from london everybody over here is going crazy about the album and euorpe which is biggest seller when it comes to cds..and euorpe loves beyonce ..so to the people that saying that she gon flop watch your mouth bite your tongue real hard… she already soldout 3 shows in france which is on june 24th and 25th..glastonbury soldout also

@Kavion
I LOVE I Miss You..it’s the Disappear of 4. I listen to it at night and just reminisce about the one who I can’t stand to love. My favorite song off the album, followed by Love on Top then I Care then Countdown.
May debut at number one because of her crazy ass fans but it’ll fall right back down the charts the following weeks. This crap will have no staying power on the chart.
@THE KIDDZ
I knew I wasn’t the only one who was reminded of Dissapear!
That’s rough man, are you living in different cities or something? I Miss You reminds me of my dad & a lot of old friends. It gives me chills. One night, I know, it’s gonna make me cry. It’s my favorite then I Was Here, 1 + 1, I Care & End of Time.
I can’t wait to have this ALBUM in my possession. I know the artwork will be beautiful.
@Kavion
Of course, we both love the same things about Bey. Lol with the exception of Suga Mama (can’t believe you don’t love it) And no, he’s just an asshole. But, don’t matter who you are, it is so simple, a feeling…but it’s everything.
@THE KIDDZ
Oh, I see. I Care & 1 + 1 are the only love songs I really relate to in a love way on 4. Lol, I like Suga Mama, I just don’t love it. Mainly because of the music video.
Damn it! Don’t do that, I don’t like getting chills! That’s one of my favorite lines from the album & the way she says “feeling”! I love “I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time”! I keep quoting the album, lol.
@Kavion
Lol, I’ve quoting her album all day. My friends have no idea what I’m talking about. “All up in the kitchen in my heels, DINNER TIME!” Lol, have you listened to Frank Ocean’s mixtape? (the guy who cowrote I Miss You) his tracks are the truth.
Eff ya’ll who said this album was boring and s*****! Ya’ll can stay listening to Caca, S******, and Ke$TD!
This album is fantastic, It has a nice laid back, late 90’s, R&B vibe to it that I absolutely adore. I Care, I Miss You, Countdown, Start Over, Love on Top and End of Time are my faves! Definitely something different from the same basic s*** that is on the radio.
Too bad Matthew Knowles leaked it. tehe,
@THE KIDDZ
LMAO, you got ’em confused & s***.
I’m not familiar with him, but I’ll check it out, link?
@Ilovextina
LMAO! You’re a mess for that one.
@Kavion

@THE KIDDZ
Thanks. What’s his style?
Well, he is the mastermind behind I Miss You. So, the lyrical prowess is there. I can’t exactly label his style. His production is melancholy and his flow is so smooth. Listen to the track “Love Crimes” to get the bulk of his style.
^^^@Kavion of course
I love this album. i was totally surprised. Especially after she released Run The World as the lead single. I was thinking… “not this generic stuff again!” but 4 really blew my mind away. So proud of you b! check my review on iamjojo.com
I haven’t taken the time try to find the leaked album. Although I’m looking forward to the release, I can and will wait until June 28th. Based on the reviews of the songs and the ones I’ve heard so far, Beyonce has put together another solid album, maybe her most profound one yet. Hope all Beyonce and music fans will support it on June 28th.
I heard her label didn’t like the album so they leaked it. And I also heard beyonce wants to switch labels. I dont this album will be fully promoted like it deserves to be but this album is different and I’m tired of hearing all of this damn pop
I like the snippets I’ve heard!! I have to agree with what someone said earlier that if this was another time & if some were willing to be more open minded, & if the music industry were different, a lot of the songs off this album would be received better by a lot more people!!But I hope this album does well! The majority of the songs she is really showing she can sing and some of the songs are more musical, which for this time period is different. I like “Rather die young”, “Love on Top”, “I was Here”, “I Miss you” , “End of Time” and “Run the World” . I like this album! I understand what ppl say about the” Run the World” lyrics but you have to admit there’s no other song out now that has that has that kind of musical pattern.Anyway I’m saying too much for this blog & the kind of comments it gets.

HATERS THINKING THIS IS THE END? LOL IT’S ONLY THE BEGINNING.
SIT!
Sorry but this album is simply BORING. nothin against beyonce but she didnt deliver. Gaga has great songs in her album n its not boring. I could hardly listen to the leaked songs till the end. They r just not catchy. So i say it, btw >>>>> 4 (basic title).
Btw has hits : bloody mary americano btw gh scheibe ec bad kids highway unicorn judas hair teog u n i marry the night . I have all the album on repeat. But 4 is just BORING. This album is already a flop to me let alone the fact she was suposed tocreate sum new genre. I couldnt find anythin new. Flop beyonce
LAME!
She’s just making an excuse bec of the lukewarm reception to all her singles released!!
She knew this album will be EPIC!
EPIC FLOP!
I appreciate Bey’s effort for not riding on the bandwagon!
@ look at the trick below me tho(lmao) what an idiot dont know real music when u hear it.girl bye
@vastandup b**** , bye. To say Chris had minimal promo? PLEASE, sit down. F*** you and your delusions thinking somebody can sell 500k off their name alone, all I’ll say is when the numbers come out and your looking dumbfucked, I told you so.
@haiku.. ikr…beyonce will never flop…she is beyonce im ready for june 27th cause in the u.k we gets the c.d one day earlier beyonce is and will always be the queen ..did it on em..i can ssee this album selling more than her last one did
@raychel do not brag at all…im far from a beyonce fan..but still this is beyonce now come on now dont be stupid tho ..and some critics already predicted her album to sell huge numbers despit it being leaked everybody always say she gonna fail but she ends up on top like always thats why im not saying anything cause i already know she is gonna come out on top like she always does im not a fan or hater im just speaking the truth
S***, my name! Madonnalover*
@Micheal please don’t call me that lol, it’s supposed to be madonnalover
and, I’m not saying she can’t! All I’m saying is, her management has been awful! If she dosent start promoting, her album will not do over 300k! And do you think I want beyonce to fail? Of course not, I’m just telling it like it is.
After hearing her vocally harmonize and tango with the guitar solo on “I Care”, hit whistle notes I have no choice but to buy this album. “Rather die young” is my favorite cut, this song just have a strong musical presence that is hard to describe. Most people prob look over that track, but with the strong vocals and horns it is my favorite. I have not skipped one song on the album. I think if you are into a very light quick pop techno sound, this album is not for you. I remember a musician telling me one time, “Not everybody will reach fame, so make sure you enjoy making music first”. So from this album I hear she loves making music, if it doesn’t do well…so what. Does not mean this album lacks musicality. Those four key progressions in “Love on top” proves that!
I just absolutely love “I Care”. U can tell she is singing every single word from the heart and the end when she iss harmonizing with the guitar is just breathtaking.
You guys are making me more anxious since I haven’t heard most of the songs yet. But I still plan to hold out until June 28th to purchase and listen to the deluxe version in its entirety and best quality.
She didn’t respond when she kept releasing songs whenever her former band mates had their singles released or albums released. Too bad for her, she will be lucky to sell 300k first week, she is no heavy weight
I think that at minimum she’ll do 300k, if she starts heavy promo, and her single starts to explode, then 450 too 600k may be possible. I know that 600k is pushing it, but she does have a huge following, and her fans support her.
Britney’s Femme Fatale back #1 on Amazon.
Go get your copy while the price $3.99.
IF YOU LEFT ANY TYPE OF NEGATIVE COMMENT, you ARE NOT a true BEYONCE FAN…so YOUR OPINION really doesn’t even matter , now does it? **Most ppl who hate on ALBUMS by artists are normally the ppl who listen to music for the BEAT, or how provocative they can shake their disgusting ASSES to…just because a song does not give YOU what YOU expect of it, means absolutely nothing, WHO ARE U? obviously not a true music head because WE judge on creativity, lyrics, voice range, emotion, runs, beat, instruments, etc. and if you HAVEN’T noticed that is ALSO what the GRAMMY AWARDS judge on. “4” will be a LEGENDARY Grammy Award winning album and FINAL THOUGHT: YOU ONLY WORRY when your album IS NOT leaked and anticipated by millions 😉 …WE LOVE YOU BEY… NP: “I Care”
It would be a shame if this album went unnoticed, as I have said before I think that this is her best effort to date. I seriously wish that she was doing Glastonbury another time because it is taking up so much of her time to the point where she is not as visible as she normally is. Anyway I have pre-ordered my album and I am glad I did.
Can’t Wait To Hear This Album!!!!!!!
the album sucks i only like 2 songs, i’m really disappointed with her music this era.
That’s Not What I’ve Heard!!!!!! It Will Be On Repeat !!!!!!!!! Can Not Wait!!!!!!
Who going to buy her SUCKS-BALLS album?

Feel sorry for her for the album leaking. I’ve listened to it and am loving the old style feel like the songs ‘Party’, ‘Rather Die Young’ and ‘Love On Top’. I’m going to be buying this. The only song I really dislike is RTW.
Wow. Grape Juice’s facts are all wrong. Beyonce doesn’t use her fb it’s her staff or publicits or whoever. She doesn’t even use fb or twitter! Well at least not fb. Someone else puts that on there from what she said somewhere else.
to all of you haters that said beyonce`s album is going to flop shut the f*** up and get a f****** life dumb h*** (gaga is better, beyawnce, riri is the queen). Shut the f*** up and go somewhere I hope this album is going to sell ! b****** STFU
Where oh where is the R&B on this album that everyone is claiming, the closest she came was with party, but she ruined it with all that voice changing all over the place.
It sounds like POP music, only, not R&B. To the people stating those whom don’t like this album haven’t heard Jennifer Hudson, Jazmine Sullivan, etc, you must be on the pipe and I’m talking the pipe you smoke the rock with. It’s people whom love true R&B whom appreciate Jazmine Sullivan, MJB, and many other female R&B artists, that don’t like this album.
It’s those people whom remember Beyonce’ when she was part of a 4 person R&B group, you remember the first 2 albums released under the group name of Destiny’s Child? Those two albums were R&B. That’s what we want from this chic, not the POP music she keeps spitting out. There really and truly is a difference. Like someone this resembles more of a Madonna album, and Madonna was never associated with R&B, ever! AND I am a Madonna fan of old. I prefer the old POP music, but in Bey’s case, I’m waiting for her to come back to true R&B, until she does, the music industry won’t let the other R&B artists shine. She could help the industry, if she really wanted to, but right now, her music is more pop (white), like they accuse Rihanna of sounding, but at least RiRi does get in touch with her roots from time to time, i.e. Man Down.
For me, MJB is still the greatest of the past 20 years. Plain and simple, because even her worst attempts are better than this generic sounding crud.
‘sucks to be you’ – wow that’s old and white!
Out of the 12 songs, only one is worth the listen, Rather Die Young. (well Andre’ 3000 on Party), however, she’s up to her screaming antics, instead of singing, at least when Mary and other R&B artists hit their high notes, it doesn’t come off as a scream, but as emotion, they hit their notes, your ears don’t ring from it. This is her problem, she tries to put a lil soul in it, but her voice isn’t made that way. She just needs to sing the notes, it would probably sound beautiful, like Mariah back in her day. Mariah didn’t scream. I know most won’t understand the difference or what I’m getting at, but hitting extremely high notes is not screaming, but singing to try to add emotion, like bey tries, comes off as screaming. She has no ability to voaclly pull off emotion other than when you can ‘hear’ her smile. (that’s a choir thing).
Also, just cause someone likes a rihanna song doesn’t make them a stan. I think Man Down is one of Rihanna’s best songs. I’m not into her music overall, due to her POP sound, but when she gets back to origins, I’m all ears.
Bey came close, but this is not R&B this is still POP, just not shake your ass POP. That’s cool, I still really only ‘feel’ once song. The others are ok, but again the digital stuff they do to singers voices to sound better for records doesn’t do well for Bey, she’s a better singer in real life. She sounds less shrill. Anyway, just some opinions. She’ll sell, though, she has die hard fans. She could come out with a country album and it would sell like Elvis’ album did and still does, when he came out country. She’s just got that it factor for so many.
I am upset i wasted my bandwidth on this mediocre attempt at an album. I never have been a fan of her dance music, by the way, but this is not what I’ve been waiting for her to come with either. It sounds like POP music. Not R&B, which is what I’ve been hoping for her to bring to the front for the past 6 years. Even with the 80’s / 90’s feel, it’s not the R&B feel, it’s the Madonna type POP feel. Don’t get me wrong Madonna was the ish in that era, but Beyonce’ should be getting back to HER roots, not the white artist’s roots. Please, bey come back to black. I thought the saying was once you go black you don’t go back, but you won’t come back to black. Support the black genre of music so others can get the shine they deserve, too. You have the presence to bring it and to help others shine, but you keep sidestepping, why?
Oh, there is one very good song on this album,’Rather Die Young’, the others are average/mediocre to just not good.
