I just finished watching the music video for "Ring the Alarm." Wow. I can't believe how crazy she got with this video; she looks completely mental. As if her hair wasn't enough...

maybe she killed Whitney Houston and stole her hair.
cybermoomba: you're set is awesome.

I personally, don't think this is gonna be so successful. I think she should go back to DC.

I don't like the songs to much but I'm buying the album.
I bet a ton of people hating on it are going to buy it like I am.

EDIT: The official cover I saw in the paper is different from the one released.
It looks alot better but I still don't like it that much.

Thanks guys

I think the album will sell a lot in the first week too

Then it'll drop really fast unless she releases a hit single

At least with Ring the alarm she's changed the subject for the lyrics, and made a different PV, with a different feeling to it. It's not just another sexual song with no deep meanings in it.

I didn't listen to the previews for the album, I'll just buy it. I couldn't get much of an impression just by listening to a few seconds of each track, anyway.

By the way people researched the meaning of Ring The Alarm and it really is about Rihanna. Since I guess Beyonce dropped hints in the song who it was about. Which kind of sucks. I mean I know no one wants there man to be taken but Jay-Z is um ok at best. No guy thinks a crazy g/f is cute. Her writing that song may actually ruin her relationship more then help. I mean if he takes that song seriously.

I know you're post was supposed to be serious, but that line just tickled my insides.
that's the last thing a guy want's to worry about. sleep with one eye open Jay-z, and hide all fire arms/sharp objects/flammable materials!!

I'm going to try to hold off like I did with Christina.
Hopefully it will pay off like it did with her album.

"Irreplaceable" and "Resentment" definitely outshine her two singles. The other songs, while cute for the most part, showed that the album was made in two weeks. It feels kind of incomplete, forgettable. Not enough songs on the album that I could see myself listening to 2 months later. I don't know about B-Day. But she delivers vocally, as usual. She just lacks artistic substance.

That thing about Rihanna is just stupid.

Regarding the album, I'm listening to it right now. I've only listened to 5 songs so far and all of them were great vocally, and that's more than enough for me, but surprisingly, I'm liking most of the melodies too. Right now I'm listening to a ballad (I don't know the title because they don't appear in my Mp3 player...) and it's great!
I'm glad my expectations are being fulfilled.

I like 'Got Me Bodied" and "Kitty Kat."
"Resentment" is a great track but Beyonce could have done better
with it then she did.

I despised Ring The Alarm so much.

I like Deja Vu though. If the album has something like "Me, Myself, & I", I'd buy one copy.

I'm doubting the success of this album too... but then again Beyonce has a helluva lotta fans -- all the destiny's child fans and her own, so they'll all probably be buying the album.
That may be true, but they've also lost fans over time with the quality of her/their music going downhill...

But I'm still considering the cover arts....lol.

Can we say that Ring The Alarm is the title track? The hairstyle is quite the same.

Here's somethin' I just thought of: If you don't like the cover you could tape your favorite picture of Beyonce on the front and call it good as new!

EDIT: but what if the booklet pictures are worse?

B'Day is much better than Dangerously In Love!!!

Listen is AWSOME! Irreplaceable is GREAT and the other are really good. In DiL the only good songs are Crazy in Love, Naughty Girl and Baby Boy...The other is really bad...IMO...

Great Album!

Well the cover in the newspaper here was different.
It was like a green background and her hair was down.
I'm not sure if thats for like the pack it comes in since that one also includes a DVD I think.
