'single ladies'...both are subpar lead singles, second tier versions of previously recorded excellent album tracks ('ooh ooh baby' and 'get me bodied' respectively), both have great videos. 'single ladies' is basically adequately functional though (ie, would dance to it) whereas 'womanizer' tries to overwhelm you and fails.
― lex pretend, Monday, 20 October 2008 22:59 (fifteen years ago) link
both are better than xtina's subpar comeback effort, and all of those are better than the new sugababes and girls aloud lead singles. 2008: not a good year for big pop names.
(still hyped about the beyonce and britney albums though!)
― lex pretend, Monday, 20 October 2008 23:00 (fifteen years ago) link
"Womanizer" is definitely better than "OOh Ooh Baby," which is like the worst song on Blackout. Anyway I vote for "Single Ladies"
― Put A Ring On It (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 00:47 (fifteen years ago) link
"Single Ladies" isn't second tier anything. It might be my favorite solo Beyonce single.

Honestly the first time I heard Womanizer on the radio I started laughing. I didnt know how to react, I was thinking to myself 'is this shit for real?'

― warmsherry, Saturday, 17 January 2009 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
the first time I heard the real deep voice come in on the chorus and go "womanizuh womanizuh" ... oh how I lolled
that song will be forgotten in 5 mins. and Single Ladies will still be played years from now in chick-flick ads and at weddings to introduce the bouquet toss (neither meant as an insult, just sayin')
― dmr, Saturday, 17 January 2009 21:04 (fifteen years ago) link
the lyrics to single ladies gross me out far more than womanizer
i think its the faux-female-power notion which is contradicted by the use of the word "it" and the implied property thing with the putting a ring on "it" etc. that contradiction just kinda makes me wanna say shut the fuck up stupid.
whereas womanizer is just pure pop nonsense. also i find the chorus to be strangely catchy in the way the word womanizer is along with "oh" are used in an odd little pattern thats hard to remember.
i would not like to hear either of these songs over and over again, though.

"If you like her then you shoulda put a ring on her" isn't nearly as striking a line. But arguing about Beyonce lyrics is probably missing the point.
― iatee, Sunday, 18 January 2009 00:51 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, that whole person's-value-as-property is the central point behind nearly every Beyonce single, so it shouldn't surprise anyone by this point. She's consistent about calling it as she sees it.
― Joseph McCombs, Sunday, 18 January 2009 00:58 (fifteen years ago) link
no, catchy does not = easy to remember. and yes, beyonce's attitude in her lyrics still annoys me. why should i have to be surprised to be annoyed?
― vergangenheitsbewaeltigung (later arpeggiator), Sunday, 18 January 2009 16:36 (fifteen years ago) link
This poll ending in a tie is perfect and the only acceptable outcome. They're tied as the best pop single of the year imo.
― Eric H., Sunday, 18 January 2009 16:39 (fifteen years ago) link
and "it" is not just a finger "k3vin k." i don't think she is saying "if you liked [my finger]"

single ladies is awesome, womanizer is just bad, not even close to that "it's britney bitch" song....the whole nu britney thing on ILM is just weird to me don't get it at all
― ie: BANGING (M@tt He1ges0n), Sunday, 18 January 2009 16:42 (fifteen years ago) link
I kinda hate just about everything Britney's ever done. But "Womanizer" is the big fat exception to the rule. It's like "SOS" done righter and without coasting on the sample.
― Eric H., Sunday, 18 January 2009 16:55 (fifteen years ago) link
the whole nu britney thing on ILM is just weird to me don't get it at all
it's mostly the knock-on effect of blackout innit.
most of britney's new album is kinda mediocre but this bonus track 'amnesia' is really awesome -
― lex pretend, Sunday, 18 January 2009 17:13 (fifteen years ago) link
"Gimme More" is the best Britney song of the past 5 years; I sort of feel like she should have retired after that.
"Single Ladies" is fucking massive in pretty much every way and people calling the lyrics "faux-empowering" seem to be operating under a very odd, narrow definition of the word "empowering"; how, exactly, is it denigrating to women for one to say to a man "if you didn't want to see me with other guys, you should have married me"?
