I just sooo love this song! I think this is a great message that guys should hear from a girl. For a girl, it is just heartbreaking to see your guy walk around as if you don't exist, or do things without caring about how you would feel. It is a perfect song for all the guys out there who takes their girls for granted, and I hope that every man should learn from this song and try to take time to make their girls feel loved.

I love it. Even though my husband pays attention to me. I still love the song. I think that it has a good meaning. Guys should really pay attention to this song.

I think its a great song, and the video explains the song so well. Guys should really understand after watching that video.Because, in the beginning it just looks like she is really doing this guy wrong. and then in the end, its really the guy that is doing her wrong. Great twist to the video, she should win video of the year for that song!

I love the video, too. I was surprised when I got to the end of it. Video of the Year for Beyonce! Yay! thumbupthumbupthumbup

Look up BC Jean on my space. She wrote the song and was trying to promote it when Byonce recorded it so all she ended up with was writer credits. I personally think her version is a lot better after listening to it. The song takes on a whole new meaning and she sings with such emotion. With Beyonce it was hard for me to figure out what she was meaning by the song but after hearing the real one I was amazed and I hope that she will get a chance to record the song that she wrote and sounds much better singing. Do me a favor and look it up and you will see what I mean.


myLot reputation of 82/100. alyssa_c (264)   ranked 4,410 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

I looked this up and, true enough, she really wrote the song! Too bad she didn't get the chance to promote it as her own. I heard her own version. I like Beyonce's better, though. Still, if Beyonce's camp did what they did then they should've addressed that problem and not fight tooth and nail to claim it as their own. I feel bad for BC Jean but at least not whe got in the limelight. wink Seriously though, they probably should settle that in court or something. confused

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have known this if it were not for you. thumbup

Beyonce's If i were a boy is an outstanding song lyrically and instrumentally its very intelligent. yes the ideal message describes the typical guy and girl relationship were the guy does what he wants when he wants where he wants and gets a way with it not even taking a second to see how he's hurting his girl due to his actions. I like how the writer takes the song and pin points the guy by using a girl's thoughts of being a boy. in todays world men actually get by with a lot of stuff more easier than women. Men actually do things like this daily and pretty much they are reward for their actions from others. most time they are consider a pimp or mac daddy. but if a woman was supposely doing the same thing she would down graded or called out her name. not to go to much into male and female perspective of common situations present in our society, however this song is great and i love it. and this song can be looked at from both sides, their are actually woman that do men wrong and take them for granted so im not just bashing men alone in anyway.

It is a fact that sometimes women take their girl for granted. The song is an eye-opener for everyone regardless of gender. It's actually touching and makes me want to shove down my boyfriend's throat sometimes! w00t

Thanks for the post!

I know. I just love everything about Beyonce and this one is no exemption. I just learned through another myLotter, though, that the song isn't hers originally. It was written by a girl named BC Jean and that Beyonce's camp wanted to get the rights for the song. Tsk, tsk. It still is a good song, very well-written.

I think it's a great song. It has great melody, deep lyrics and nice harmony. Plus, Beyonce is such a good singer, her voice is so powerful and very nice to hear. I listen to this song every morning in the car on the radio when I am driving to work. I can say that it plays a very big role in getting me emotionally prepared for my day ahead. It's definitely a very good song.

I find it cool that a guy would be able to appreciate this song. happy I never really asked any of my guy friends here about it.

myLot reputation of 82/100. alyssa_c (264)   ranked 4,410 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

i know what you mean. From a girl's point of view, men's lives seem to be a lot easier than ours. Then again, this is not always the case.

im not personally a fan of this type of music but it is a good song and has a great message that should relate to many different people. More artists need to do songs relating to us, rather than talk about 'pimping' etc


myLot reputation of 82/100. alyssa_c (264)   ranked 4,410 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

I agree. Songs should have messages of good quality such as this one.

The song is really touching and the video even more. I think the starting part in the video was perhaps the best one in which she portrays how much importance some guys give to the hard work and sweetness being put into prepared breakfast. It just shows how much care a girl shows and how Stone heartedly the guy responds.


myLot reputation of 82/100. alyssa_c (264)   ranked 4,410 out of 8,279 in listening to music  4 years ago

I know what you mean. I love how they played the characters in the music video. It's shocking when you get to the end part.
