“If I were a Boy” is the latest single from Beyonce. It is a concurrent release from her third solo cd “I am…Sasha Fierce”. I really like this song. I didn’t anticipate to like it since Beyonce has managed to turn out some stupid songs lately. She is a great singer but has fell into the wrap of selling what sells. What I mean by this is that she has had a hit single and made sure that the ones that followed sounded exactly like it. “If I were a Boy” is different and shows off her voice. It tells a beautiful story about a woman whose man is cheating on her and if she was more like a man she would be more understanding to her feelings.

The video is shot in black and white. It turns the table on the man and shows the woman being flirtateous while the man gets jealous. Near the end of the video it changes back to reality where the man is the one that is being this way and she is hurt since he doesn’t seem to understand what she if feeling. The funny thing is, guys that are flirting and pushing their limits don’t really care how the woman feels. There are women that do the same thing too. There just needs to be love, not lust or someone to do, otherwise this kind of stuff will happen.

“If I were a Boy” is well-written and very well sung by Beyonce. If you have a chance listen to it. You can find it online, probably you tube and vh1 music.
