I've just been looking around for a thread on this, but probably not hard enough. What I did find out was that it certainly is fashionable to bash Beyonce at the moment. But, I am afraid this is going to be another such post.

Has anyone else heard this song by Beyonce? How boring and repetitive. I went to look up how it was doing in the charts, almost certain that it would have flopped, only to discover that it has been number one in the US for weeks. Perhaps everyone over the pond is hearing something in this song that I can't?

The video is okay though I guess.

The thing that gets me about Beyonce is that she has an amazing voice but her songs are absolute crap. I quite like If I were a boy and Listen has grown on me a bit, but everything else I have heard of hers is utter crud. She is such a talent, I would love to hear her belt out some real rocky tunes.

Haha , I attempted that dance with a friend and watching it back was not a pleasant experience! I could only do the bit where she's moving her hand and neck

I adore 'Single Ladies', and I have love all of Beyonce's music .

'Single Ladies' has peaked at #14 so far in the UK Charts and has been #1 in the US for a few weeks.

Well deserved, if you ask me .

I think 'Halo' is her best song from the album.

I am... Sasha Fierce! is an amazing album...

Ave Maria, Smash into You, Radio, Broken hearted girl, Halo, Disappear - all amazing songs.

There are better songs on her album than "Single Ladies".

I love it, and the video's great too!

I love the whole album actually - I love most of the songs, and the rest of the songs I merely "like".

It's an awful song. If I Were a Boy is too.

I love both 'If I Were A Boy' and 'Single ladies'. Her albums really good too. The fact that she's such a wicked live performer makes her one of my favorite singers.

I absolutely loved If I Were a Boy so i didn't really pay much attention to Single Ladies at first. I thought it was just a bad rehash of Get Me Bodied from B'Day (which i love ). But now i've been listening to it more I think it's brilliant. The dancing in the video is

I've just bought some tickets to see her in Newcastle. She better not let me down!!

I Am... is possibly one of the best albums from 2008 for me, and it didn't come out until late November. Only one bad track among the 2 discs. I totally recommend 'Why Don't You Love Me' from iTunes too.

Love this song. You just wanna get up and dance when you hear it. The video is brilliant too - those girls can sure move!

A much, much better song from Beyonce - one of her best in ages.

For me the dance moves cinch it. Especially live, sounds better than the album version IMHO.

This has to be my favorite performance of 'Single Ladies' live. Some of the others i've seen seem to zoom in on her face or something when it should be showing all of the 3 girls dancing

But yeah this song is so much better live.

I can't stand it, the lyrics are repetitive dross, and the music itself is irritating beyond belief.

I feel I've come to this party a bit late, however in the last few days, I just can't get this song out of my head

It's just so much fun. Go to Y*u T*be and type in "singles ladies dance". It's really made me laugh, for the first time in a long time

Great song!

Thank you Beyonce
