Absolute Radio: Discover real music

I genuinely feel sorry for those fans who bought the ordinary B'Day version when it was first released, as the tracks from that album are often, in my opinion, weaker than the extra ones released in this superb Deluxe Edition:
1.Beautiful Liar-One of the best pop songs I have heard in a long time- catchy and superbly sung. 10/10
2.Irreplaceable-A true gem of a ballad, really, really good. 10/10
3.Green Light-The typical R&B we have come to expect from Beyonce. 8/10
4.Kitty Kat-A good song, but a bit of an album filler. 7/10
5.Welcome To Hollywood-This track didn't make it onto the original album, but I haven't a clue why. This is Beyonce at her best. 10/10
6.Upgrade U-Not a personal highlight, but not bad either. 7/10
7.Flaws And All-Another new track, a strong powerful ballad. 9/10
8.If-Yet another new track: absolutely superb and provides an opportunity for a trademark Beyonce growl.10/10
9.Get Me Bodied-This song starts out great, but it is an extended mix and by the end of the song it becomes a bit of a chant and a bit dull. 5/10
10.Freakum Dress- A super uptempo number. Very good. 8/10
11.Suga Mama- Takes off where Freakum Dress left from. 8/10
12.Deja Vu-This retro, dancey number is nothing short of brilliant. 10/10
13.Ring The Alarm- A truly original R&B track. 8/10
14.Resentment- Many people have said they don't particularly like this track, but for me it is superb. These days there are very few original ballads, but this is one. 10/10
15.Listen- From the movie Dreamgirls. A powerful, growling track, which is a highlight of both the film and the album. 10/10
16.World Wide Woman- A new track; and yet another one which is pure brilliance. Upbeat. 9/10
17.Check On It- This has obviously been released as a single and sounds just as great on CD as it does on the radio. 9/10
18.Amor Gitano- Not my cup of tea. 5/10
19.Beautiful Liar (remix)- Spot the difference between this and track one- I certainly can't but what better way to begin and end the album! 10/10
Then of course there is the extra DVD, which not only has the videoes of all the singles, but also has videoes of many of the unreleased singles. In my opinion this is a fantastic buy whether or not you own the first B'Day album.

This Bday album is brillant,she is marvellous singer and fanastic on the stage. If she like this album i will recommend you go and see her live. Beyonce, well done this album is smashing, Keep up the good work!
The songs are reat , some of the songs on the cd though e.g "Ring the Alarm" it sounds like she is shouting, but she doesnt , see for yourself when you see her live.

It is no surprise that at the time of writing "Beautiful Liar" is the most requested video on a certain music channel. Beyonce and Shakira look sensational and really work it but everything is tastefully done. The way I look at it, you are paying for the DVD and the audio CD is the bonus.

The DVD has 12 videos. Most of the videos feature Beyonce dancing in some very provocative outfits and "Kitty Kat/Green Light" is the definitive example. The pole-dance in "Suga Mama" is particularly memorable. The audio CD consists of some of her best work to date and most of the beats are memorable.

For male fans of Beyonce Knowles this 2 disc set is probably a ten out of five. JAY-Z is one lucky, lucky guy. Recommended? Yes.

Truly poor, and I'm sure she is the best in her field it's just that it's a field full of you know what...and that title? Are you sure? Isn't that something you wash your backside in?
