Beyoncé - Beyoncé (2013)

i could almost choose anything here save for the drake song

ahh i still have trouble picking but i think i will vote for "jealous"

hm, you know, "jealous"

Might go for 'Pretty Hurts' actually

Or 'Flawless' but that seems like letting this album off easy

between "flawless" and "no angel"

let
me
sit
this
vooooooooooote
on
ya

Rocket for me. My second favourite song of hers after Schoolin' Life.

some of my least favorite songs from the album have my favorite videos ("pretty hurts," "superpower")

with "xo," "blow," "flawless," and "rocket" i love both the songs and the videos a lot

Can't wait to see "Mine" win this poll!

"Mine" has a great intro, wish the rest of the song could hang with it

"Superpower" just doesn't work for me at all, the whole thing just falls annoyingly flat

If I'm being honest with myself I should vote "Blow", "Haunted" or "Partition" but I'm very tempted to vote for "Heaven" just so it isn't goose-egged

"Haunted" easy but then that SNL sketch pretty much sums up my thoughts on her music

Samurai Bakery?

good album, maybe her 2nd best. gonna go with "xo"

Haunted in a heartbeat. or Ghost/ Haunted as the video-album-whatsit calls it.

1. Rocket
2. ***Flawless
3. Blow
4. Partition
5. XO
6. Jealous
7. Pretty Hurts
8. Blue
9. Haunted
10. No Angel
11. Heaven
12. Drunk In Love
13. Superpower
14. Mine

Among the top 3 albums released this decade so far. Truly incredible.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

too early

partition, rocket & no angel

Revisiting this tonight, voted for "Rocket" but maybe wish I could switch to "No Angel"

Yesterday on a plane ride home I fell asleep without realizing "Heaven" was on repeat.

NAPTIME COULDN'T WAIT FOR YOUUUUUUUUU

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

"XO" deserves more than two votes. Come on.

yay Rocket!

there's one station in D.C. that has been playing "Rocket" once an hour since April, starting to get annoyed that no other stations have picked up on it

i went thru a phase of playing "Rocket" for an hour once a week

pretty surprised by the groundswell for "Jealous." it's a good song but i always got the impression it was in the middle of the pack for most and practically nobody's absolute favorite.

its sound is less interesting than a lot of the other songs on the album, but it's so psychologically acute! i love it. i also love no angel, which i would have wanted a higher placement for. and heaven should have gotten at least a vote.

I regret not voting for "Heaven" in the worst way

kind of livid that "Mine" got votes over it tbh

"now we reminiscing how we used to flex in texas" is one of my favorite lyrics on this entire album tbh

aw I didn't notice this thread until just now! seems like a top 5 I can agree with, anyway.

every second of "mine" that's just beyonce is gorgeous imo. i think drake's only there to be one of those deliberate flaws you add in order to honor god's perfection.

hahaha I can almost buy that

I admit that the intro to "Mine" is stellar

Would have voted for "No Angel",

i for one am thankful that the Drake feature on this album is so shapeless and unappealing that it will never be a single

I've kind of come around to his weird rap at the end or at very least the line "Been about you and I'm still about you"

i think i forgot to vote (well, still can't decide)

its sound is less interesting than a lot of the other songs on the album, but it's so psychologically acute!

otm! "jealous" is sort of the heart of the album, the crux of everything beyoncé is trying to say, the one where she embraces contradiction without justification.

"heaven" is absolutely beautiful and extremely real - the anguish in her "NO!!!!" towards the end is so amazing.

what the fuck kind of savage would vote for "mine" in this poll -_-

shame no one voted for "Pretty Hurts".

I think this is one of those definite instances where it would have wound up much higher if we were ranking them all instead of just picking our #1 fav

The right song won.

i made a text message ringtone if anyone wants it

jealous!

just keep your promise and i'll keep mine

I would have voted for "blue" if I wasn't a convicted felon. That songs makes me bawl.

oops i bumped the wrong thread

"now we reminiscing how we used to flex in texas" is one of my favorite lyrics on this entire album tbh
