Its a piece of junk

I'm sorry. I like Beyonce. I think she's great. I just hate her new song, 'If I were a boy". sorry if 'junk' is a strong word to refer to it, but seriously that song is just so un-classy i totally refuse to listen to it. I find myself switching the station at prelude, before she even gets to sing the very first word, which is "If.."

I mean, the music's crappy, the lyrics are oh-so-lame, and the tune of the whole song, for having such terribly awful lyrics, could at least be catchy; but its not even that. I have serious doubts about her previous seemingly good judgments now, seeing that she actually agreed to sing such a song. Had she not thought it through enough? Was she just so desperate to release a new album she paid little attention to what the songs are like? She used to be smart, or at least, judging by the songs she chose before, she sounded like she was. Now, apart from “If I were a boy”, she wants to be the first black “wonder woman” on screen too. She did realize though that wonder woman’s figure is unrealistic and for the love of all things curvaceous, she failed to relate that to her own voluptuous figure. By tradition, she’d make a terribly fat wonder woman. One must wonder if her marriage has been messing with her mind and her wit, only ever since then did she start making all these imprudent choices and statements.

Anyhow, here’s the more baffling question. What is the deal with all our local music station playing her song (yeah, that crappy song) over and over again? What are them DJs deaf? Don’t they realize how lousy it is? I don’t remember hearing anyone calling in to request for it either, and I listen to the radio most of the time because my office happens to be in my car where I spend most of the hours in the day in. How can they not realize how unclassy it is? Really, seriously.., I really couldn’t stand that song..

Well, maybe it’s just me and my impossible taste in music or more importantly lyrics (even if I happen to like all music, generally. But yeah, the lyrics usually kinda matters to me so maybe that’s my main problem with the song). Maybe most other people like that song (I find it hard to understand though). Maybe it's just me.. but.....

I hope Beyonce gets her good sense back. I do like her, still. But until then, I just can’t listen to her sing that song. Ugh…
