 Waste of 2 disks January 8, 2009

I must say I was very disappointed with this album. The ballads were awful and she didn't need to separate the two disks. Not very eco-friendly! The only good songs are her "Sasha Fierce" ones. I don't know who she's trying to fool with this whole alter-ego thing. Sasha is Beyonce and Beyonce is Sasha and that's how her fans will always see her. You can't separate the two.
 BEYONCE ROCKS! January 7, 2009

This is by far Beyonce's best CD ever. The CD with the slow songs is too good, I cannot stop listening to it. Sasha Fierce is an amazing alter ego!

I can't believe she had 70 songs to choose from and she chose these. It is pure garbage. I can't believe she didn't put these songs on one album.I am not going to visit that whole alter ego thing.That is a just a mess. Why the heck is she singing Ava Maria?
Exploration for Beyonce January 6, 2009
Terry Wadford (Temple Texas)
Beyonce took a chance with this music endevor. But I think it worked. She did what she wanted with the slow ballad type of songs but still gave her hard core listeners what they crave from her.

Wow! I'm so impressed with this cd! I've been a Beyonce fan since the days of the first Destiny's Child cd, but along the way she has really come to let me down. I was very happy with her first solo effort and loved the mellow adult groove of that cd. But with the release of B'day I was really left questioning her judgment, her management, and most importantly, her discretion. I really felt like she had to have know that cd was garbage, and that she was simply pandering to a certain youth market audience that she felt was her main "fan base". Well, I think she has since learned that as many 25+ people had been loving her all along, as well as her teen fans, and now my girl has REALLY come with it! I actually was put off from buying this cd earlier after reading several lukewarm reviews on here and not being overly impressed with the song clips. I said to myself, "self, do you really want to put out [...] bucks and be disappointed again?" However, I threw caution to the wind and prayed that perhaps this time she could deliver again. I sure am glad that I did!
Yes, this is Beyonce branching into a new, more "alternative" direction, which many feel is contrived. To me it sounds so pure and clean that if this is contrived, than bring on the fake B! I had really grown extremely critical of her voice, which if anyone who has been lucky enough to see her in concert, knows is nothing short of magical. But after the Dreamgirls fiasco, she began this shrieking/yodeling period, that really made me want to cut my ears off. I even hated Resentment, the song which so many thought was the mature shinning star of her last album. Shrieking garbage if you ask me! I guess Beyonce has been kicking it heavy with her vocal coach though, because I'm happy to report that the voice is back! I'm over the moon! I mean honestly, her voice simply soars on most of the Disc 1 tracks. Namely Broken-Hearted Girl and Smash Into You ( I literally get chills on certain parts of these songs), but honestly there isn't a bad track on the first disc! Really! I never thought I'd live to see the day. In fact, it is so good that it makes you wonder how she came to choose If I Were a Boy to be her first single, because it's probably the worst song on the first Disc, and even it's pretty good!
Second disc, well after being so thoroughly satisfied with the first, I was ok with her having her little club-time/ teeny-bopper album. I was all prepared to not like it, and I was fine with that, because for me she had fulfilled my more "sophisticated" musical needs already. But amazingly, I LIKE IT TOO! WOWsa! I was shocked. Now I'm not going to say that Disc 2 is a complete success, as Disc 1 is, but Diva, Sweet Dreams, Ego (love this one, very cute song) and Scared of Lonely (best on this side) are great. The others are even decent. She sounds a bit insane on the Hello chorus, but after I got over that, I came to like this song too! I don't know if it was low expectations, but I'm just so happy that Beyonce has finally grown and matured her music appropriately. I think releasing the non-deluxe disc was a bad idea (really don't understand that), but the un-abashed Beyonce hate really must end people. I mean come on! This cd is amazing. Anyway, I'm sure I'll swing over to the Keyshia Cole page and see 5 star reviews all over the place for her dud of a 2nd cd...some people just really hate Miss B and all she has come to represent. And that's ok, you don't have to like the girl. Heck, I don't know her, and neither do you guys! But credit must be given were credit is due, and this cd is simply a gem. Job well done Mrs. Carter!
