    I have to admit I like the song and video, but Beyonce has done nothing but annoy the crap out of me since she went solo. She is a very talented singer and songwriter, so why is it that her image is whiter, blonder (with straighter hair) and skinnier in every video? What happened to her bootylicious body?

    Anyway, I guess I have always expeced too much from mainstream artists and I have never been quite able to forgive Destiny’s Child for that awful, woman-bashing song “Nasty Girl”

    Beyonce must be a CGI. Nothing that sublime can exist in the sub-lunary world.

    Catchy song. She has good pipes, too. It’s generic R&B/pop, so it’s not really my thing, but it’s generic R&B/pop done well.

    Something troubles me, though. I believe that if the sexes were reversed, (i.e. a man singing this song to a woman) we’d all be pissed off.

    And now that song is stuck in my head.

    Can someone explain to me what makes this Beyonce video so great, while the Paris Hilton one from a while back is an abomination that deserves scorn and ridicule? I don’t get it.

    I did it largely to spite you.

    If the first man was so disposable, why exactly would she want “another one tomorrow”? Especially if if the new one is just like him [the ex]. Meh.

    Let’s all remember her song, “I wanna cator to you” where she explains her willingness to keep her body fit for her man. what?

    I’ve long believed that I would enjoy most pop music much more if either 1) I couldn’t understand the lyrics or 2) some serious professional lyricists were more often employed. I know Beyonce co-wrote alot of the songs on her album with help from professional musicians, but the more I listen to it (yes, I own it), I think the lyrics weren’t scrutinized as closely as the hooks. I sometimes don’t understand what Bernie Taupin means in his lyrics for Elton John, but they usually sound like poetry and aren’t typically offensive.
    I’m not sure why lyrics seem to get cast off as less important in these carefully crafted songs. Sure, the melodies and rythym pull you in, but it’s the lyrics you end up singing along with, and depeneding on your exposure to pop radio, it’s the lyrics that get stuck in your head.

    That’s what I’m sayin’. “I could have another you in a minute..” My response: “But why?” Anyway…I’d like Bey more if she’d give me me one of her lacefront wigs.

    Yeah, the lyrics are dumb, but I wasn’t really expecting any sort of deep social commentary from Beyonce. I just like the way the song sounds.
