I love how everyone's literally got a different favorite song/least favorite song on 4.
Most will know by now that my favorite is Love On Top (it's one of my fave song's ever) but I also really like:
Schoolin Life (AWESOME)
Lay Up Under me (I don't see how people can dislike this)
I Care (one of the most emotional song's Beyonce has done)
Countdown (I think this is one of Beyonce's best song's in terms of the production, the music is just so good)
End Of Time (The beat is incredible, one of my fave uptempo's from Beyonce)

I find with 4 though, that I will go through phases quite often of being obsessed with a certain song like Rather Die Young for example and think it's utterly amazing and will move on to I Miss You or Start Over, but the song's I listed are one's that I constantly love to listen to.

You better start stanning for Run The World, or else...

I've never like Run the world and most likely never will.


I can admit it's one of her best videos though.

My current faves off 4 are I Miss You, Rather Die Young and I Was Here along with Love On Top. The only song i can't and couldn't care about since i first heard the album is 1+1. It does nothing for me.

1+1 is my least favourite on this record. Great opening track for sure, but not my cup of tea. I still hear Run The World a lot on the radio here, and it has a habit of coming on many times when I'm shuffling - one of her BEST!

Love On Top works perfectly on a hot summers day!

I feel like I have grown to love this album, I remember being very harsh on it when it was released! (Partly because Run The World was an AWFUL lead single)

But now I can say I like each track except for End Of Time and I Was Here, with favourites being I Miss You and Start Over.

I used to think 1+1 was pretty amazing when I heard it first but I find it mediocre now.

I do think the song works on the album though but I would put it in a different place on the record.

"no matter who you love, it is so simple, a feeling, but it's everything"

It just got a new meaning :)

I Miss You would've made a great autumn/winter single, with an epic video.

LOL.

I'm starting to think his talent is getting overlooked because of his sexuality.

I Miss You is to die for though.

"Run the World (Girls)" comes to life when she performs it, especially when she did it in the Oprah special and the Billboard Music Awards. It definitely grew on me watching her perform the song. If it were just a regular album track in 4, I wouldn't have appreciated it. :)
