Beyonce Best Thing I Never Had

BeyBey is just dropping new music left and right off of “4″. Check out her new single “Best Thing I Never Had” below:


What do you think? Do you Hate It Or Love It?!?! We’re getting a real “Irreplaceable” vibe from it.

On a side note… for those of you interested in what “King B” is wearing in her single artwork — that bodysuit was designed by recent Parsons School of Design graduate named Lleah Rae. Check out her Twitter @lleahrae…

  • Beauty

    i can relate to this song. She did it again…I wonder who wrote it???

  • allie from Nashville

    What is goin on w B? Not feelin this either… Maybe her time really is up :(

  • Lu

    It’s ok

  • Itgirl

    Zzzzzzzz. Beyonce stopped being interesting about 2 years ago. Next.

  • confidently_ugly

    Damn that beyonce ..one minute im tired of her then She comes out with some likeable ish…Like the song but what is that King B mess? she gets a thumbs up and thumbs down at the same time

  • Benzy

    Beyonce looks like a white Hollywood starlet in that pic. Wow, money really changes ppl.

  • Nana

    This white chic won’t let up I see….!

  • prettyboyswagg

    i luvvvvv it…… FINALLY I CAN SAY WELCOME BCK

  • dani d

    The only song I like so far is 1+1 off this album. Maybe she should have stayed with Pops cause it seems her music was better. She is not the Bey we all fell in love with-unsure what she is morphing into :-(

  • jewjew

    The more I hear of this album, the more I hate it. I am just not feeling her new music.

  • justsaying..

    Loves it!!!
    “I found the good in goodbye”

  • Gata

    I am going to wait until I have the CD in hand before I make any judgment about the CD, I didn’t necessarily like “Run The World,” but I liked the beat, I like 1+1, but I don’t want a bunch of ballads. This song added to the others equals wait until the CD drops to see how it all plays out.

    I don’t want Beyonce to sound like a POP artist, that is why so far I am not mad at her choices. I HATE POP MUSIC!!!

  • MsAshley

    @lala
    Well look who she married. The dude refers to himself as a king, a god and Jay-Hovah (Jehovah). You can’t chill around ma.s.sive ego and not catch one yourself.

  • Just My Two Cents!

    This Song Sounds “SAFE” & Although I’m Not The Biggest Fan Of Beyonce I’m Not Used To Her Being Safe. I Like & Prefer The DAGEROUSLY IN LOVE, HALO, GET ME BODIED, AVE MARIA Beyonce

  • phelaw

    I will wait for the boot leg cd!!!

  • Nope!

    Sounds a lot like ‘Where you at” by Skinny Jenni!

  • Kima

    This song is ok. I think Bey is out of her Stan zone with this album but as usual her stans will buy it and she will be twerking on our tv screens all summer, winter and spring, sooo… Whatever!

  • meme6

    the song is ok. i can see myself listening to it and singing along. this sounds like something ne-yo wrote. it will resonate with a lot of women since most of us can relate to what she’s singing about. someone said it sounds like jhud. that kinda made me wish jhud was singing it lol.

  • Dee

    Finally, a song that sounds decent. Hopefully, she’ll recognize that she is no Lady Gaga.

  • Harli

    I love the “King B” pic…I actually think it’s because of the practice that Cleopatra went through, she was a king (first, then changed to “queen”), because they had never experienced a female ruler.

  • London Bloke

    look at that photo- Beyonce a white woman now!

  • la di da

    Peaked with I Am..Sasha Fierce.

  • Divine

    Is this the “New Genre of music” she said she created?
    I keep waiting for it to happen.

  • GA

    It was written by Babyface.

  • Feleicia

    It’s a grow on you song, but it reminds me of the Irreplaceable, Listen and Resentment arapped up together. Thumbs up and down. I think she is running out of ideas to be different. She needs to do more songs with The Bama Boys!

  • bre

    I like it…

  • supersolnova

    ummmm whats with all the YELLING i mean its a ok record but the Yelling and oversinging takes away from the song-Ive noticed that yelling has become her signature sound and for me its a hard on the ears…definately couldnt listen to her albums on repeat like i could with Faith Evans …Letoya or even Kelly Rowland. Her voice has been changing again and she is screaming/screeching more & more.

  • Lexi

    Sorry every song is something she already did. What is going on with this album. Stans don’t want to admit they don’t like it. But it really is not good. And I usually like her albums.

  • me

    What’s so funny is, I didn’t like Bey when everyone else did, and now I’m starting to like her. It goes to show that you can’t please everybody and you can always pick up new fans as others drop off.

  • latinaluva

    love it

  • Weezy

    I like this song its sounds good to me

  • ms. d

    i like

  • MaryJane

    1. Over the years I use to think people were crazy when they would say beyonce drops out music when kelly does but this shet is crazy. not only is she dropping music she doing one after another. her first was over shined by kelly so I’m wondering is she dropping the music so that people will forget about kelly. I mean really

    2. I’m not a fan but she is doing her thing. People thought she was losing her touch cause her first single didn’t top the charts. Now this chick is dropping left to right lettin yall know I’m King B the alpha chick in the game, play wit it. Can’t do nothin but respect the swag and wait cause it’s coming.

  • ?

    If Beyonce kept recording the same type of songs ala Crazy in Love, Get me Bodied, Halo then you all would be complaining that she is doin gthe same thing over and over. Now, that she is trying to offer something a bit different some of you are still whining. I am glad she is offering a bit different sound this time around. You have to grow and try new things in the music biz. She is not going anywhere if MAraih and Mary J and Alicia Keys and some of the other s can come out with new music then so can Beyonce. Some of you are such HATERS!! PS> The King Beyonce is tongue in cheek in a joking way. Go Beyonce!!

  • audacity

    Nice song.. Babyface wrote it

  • Nicole

    I would like the song if she wasn’t screaming. Damn that’s annoying!

  • Monica

    Great Job Bey! You did it again!

  • Jj

    I loveeee it THANK YU BEYONCE U R FINALLY BACK

  • Queen*Pin

    Can we say it all togheter?

    KELLY ROWLAND KELLY ROWLAND! Beyonce knows she last year! Maybe she should have stole Motavation?

  • RHONYC

    ‘in this very moment i’m KING’ – Nicki Minaj’s ‘Moment 4 Life’.
    seriously, she has officially JUMPED THE SHARK in 5,4,3,2… :-(

  • k

    elevator music.

    WHO ARRANGES HER SONGS LATELY? RUN THE WORLD, 1+1, AND NOW THIS LATEST INSTALLMENT?

    wierd. SIMPLY WIERD.

  • ARI

    YOU GO BEY! She’s getting it in something serious right now! She hasn’t received Grammy’s, decade awards, & that long paper for nothing! So many people are jumping on this negative silly%*# bandwagon for no real reason! Ya’ll know you like the music, & love her! S/O to the motivHATERS!!! Were would we be without you?!!

  • gotta say it

    I dont like Beyonce but I like this song.Good job beyonce.

  • Me (I’m PRO-MARRIAGE & FAMILY.)

    But, I know Beyonce’s fans will buy her music regardless. So, I’m sure her album will do fine.

  • Monica

    I know its so sad, the bigger she gets the whiter she gets. Not sending a good message

  • can’t worry about it

    No you can’t.

  • supersolnova

    I agree -something is definately suspect with that… and overall Kellys recent music sounds better than what Beyonce has released so far.

  • wsmith2005

    The sad part is I bet you are serious about waiting…

  • kalifa

    looks like gaga and is “king” like nicki minaj…lol :)

    beyonce is riding everybody’s d!ck :)

  • BlkPorcelainD0ll-Annoyed

    Get mad, but I’mma just say it like it is.
    I’m just tired of Bey soundin so “white.” Clearly it’s not something she would naturally do.
    Rihanna is the only one who it looks right on, & Bey can do just as good doin real black music.

  • supersolnova

    Im glad im not the ONLY one that feels this way bout the screaming -good lord can we please turn it down a notch sometimes less is best.

  • supersolnova

    Im not a Hater im a realist and my opinion is my opinion nothing more.

  • shhh bey pull that album

    Bey I really like it when you tell Mr. Sorry goodbye with slick catchy lyrics and a great dance beat. FAIL TO THE PROFANITY! FAIL TO THE DRAMATIC ATTEMPT TO RUN THE VOCAL SCALE AS YOUR CUZZ HIS AZZ OUT! Now maybgroan tone death Sistas of moan n groan might like it …..kinda like Mary J before voice lessons. FAIL! Is Jayz acting up??

  • PEACHY

    this sounds alot like rihanna’s “fading”. beyonce is done. that screaming and yelling is over. i’m over beyonce. she n jay need to go have kids.

  • SexiestChic

    Meh, sounds like Me,Myself and I married Irreplaceable and had a love child. She says she puts out songs that are close to her heart but unless she’s lied about how many relationships she’s had how can this song resonate w/ her? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again she should let herself be vulnerable to her recent hurts and draw from that emotion to her music.

  • Myopinion

    Her best song this year is the workout song she did for our FLOTUS Michelle Obama!!!…Maybe Michelle needs to commission some more songs.

  • still a fan

    Bey call NE-YO……babyface got ya screaming and mumbling like Tony Braxton! Still love ya girl….awesome show!

  • LOL

    LOL, she’s going to FLOP for sure.

  • thesaneone

    this song is good and everone will be singing it soon enough. haters shush!

  • ANGEL

    for all u haters to keep tlkin bout her its not stoppin yall from listenin to her music..lol..pathetic!!..and while keep hatin she’s number one still..lol..

  • REPUBLICANS WILL DO ANYTHING TO DEFEAT OBAMA, EVEN CRASHING THE ECONOMY.

    I thought Bey was coming with a new genre of music. I did not know she meant combining music of her past stuff and retro music?

  • shynehead

    1 ok song
    3 flops
    1 month
    Historic Fail

  • NewNaturalSista

    GREAT SONG!!!!! I LIKE IT ITS BETTER THAN THAT KIDDY SONG GIRLS RUN THE WORLD!!!

  • VelazquezSally

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, ForPenny.com

  • Slims

    Which one is better peoples Rihanna or Beyonce

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals!!

    Oh LAWD!!!!!

    Beyonce done came out with another song. Now, I’ll have to sit thru errbody and they momma singing this at Karaoke.

    Damn you, Bey!

  • Iguessso

    I actually like this song, but I don’t like the oversinging on it. If she re-records it and just take it down a notch it would be better, but I do like it.

  • Tavi

    I love almost all Beyonce’s songs. This is another great one lol another of her songs that I get to dedicate cause it fits so perfect! I love it!

  • MIKE

    i love her

  • TeamKells

    Same here. I used to think people were starting drama but now I see Bey releases singles the same time as Kelly. “Motivation” is waay better than this garbage. This new single is boring and her single album cover shows how narcissistic she really is. Team Kelly

  • Nia

    I love it!
    I think that 4 is going to be a really good album!

    More Grammys!!!!

  • Life

    Like this much more betta than RTW. Nice come back Beyonce.

  • philly

    Nicki Minaj said she was a King..beyonce saying it now..

  • ARageinHarlem1983

    I am sorry – but I really did think that was a white woman trying to impersonate Lady Gaga – I also thought it was a white woman trying to impersonate a llama. This woman is definitely bleaching that skin of hers – no doubt about it. She is the female Michael Ejackulation (sic)!

  • gallyun

    That pic looks like she taking Ri-Ri swag………..just saying

  • Just a fan of music….

    No Simply innovative.end starter…When Rhi and Kerri copy nxt year u will all be like Wow, this is hot! It happens every time….. B’DAY 2009…LOUD 2010…REAL TALK!!

  • Just a fan of music….

    Beyonce already did that….Its was called “Dangrously in Love” 2003………where were u hun?

  • marshhh

    Idk but I dnt think this is just me. But it feels as though beyonce was changed into the gaga lane, pop godde s. We all know beyonce steales other peoples music, its funny bc every body says that Nicki minaj is biTting off lil kim. Nicki has gron into her own, now beyonce is biting her style. Beyonce I’m a we bit disappointed go get matt back

  • Just a fan of music….

    PHAAAAAA! Are u really serious….*rolls eyes..twice*, can she do anything just becauseand for fun with out hte where she got it, and why she doing that..igg u hate her…RHIANNA.COM is a website…go away…

  • ololololol

    maybe its just me but in that pic bey seems to have a bit of the meth mouth…lol. and yah she looks white too. and old.

  • 34-double-d

    TEAM BEYONCE!

  • Divine

    She releases a new song daily to try to make up for the autrocity that is “Who Run the World”

    Fact is, she and her people are very worried about the quality of this album.
    I would not be surprised if Matthew Knowles voiced his concern, hence he was fired.

    All the songs Ive heard rang from bad to OK and a pretty good song.
    Nothing that is just phenominal. An certainly not “A new genre of music” she claimed to have created….

  • What?

    Boring!

  • Life

    I hope this one is a radio hit.

  • http://bossip diana

    Sorry but it doesn’t cut it for me. It reminds me of ” I am Beyonce” side. No one wants to hear all that deep miserable bs ballads. What really does it, or has did it for me..I have said the past few weeks, oh her cd will get better. Well what do I know ? 3 out of the 10 songs have been booty. I still hav a lil hope maybe, but i’m not buying a cd that I already know half of it is whack !!! Where da hell is Matthew ?

  • http://Checktheweather.tv misskgreen

    waiting for the remake. The lyrics are catchy the beat is whack.

  • http://www.bossip.com Game

    I had a conversation with a friend that i wanted to vent to of a situation i was going threw and i got alot! off my chest by talking about it and that friend of mine sent me a text on my phone early morning saying “i want you to here this song by Beyonce best thing i never had” and i truly can relate to this song so shot’s out to that good friend of mine and waking me up to here that song lol

  • Sabrina

    I really like this song. I hate that (girls run the world single….whatever the name). I’m still gonna get her CD…I will support her just because she is clean and positive!

  • truth

    Weak. It’s not just the music…it’s beyonce. She has been in our face non stop since 2003. It’s the mariah carey effect. Its toomuch. She needs to go away completely for two years andmake people miss her. She has been singing the dame song for 8 years now. No innobation at all.

  • Monique1974

    I was thinking the same thing….didn’t Nicki Minaj call herself, “King” first? Oh lord, now everybody is going to think that Beyonce came up with this on hew own. It’s stupid to me. If you’re a woman, why would you refer to yourself as a, “King”? Damn, talk about smelling yourself! Ego to the 10th power! SMH.

  • Monique1974

    On “her” own.

  • Lively09

    I like her vocals on it, but was hoping she would release till the end of time, but it was leaked.

  • http://bossip bev

    I hope enough people have been in this situation, because scanning the web, those seem to be the only ones who like this song. Unless it’s the same person leaving the same comments on every site. We know her fans will praise and worship her singing the ABC’s.

  • u guys

    This is for her fans right………….so if u hate bey why comment she hasn’t done anything to you guys.She still beautiful and best singer of this generation. I liked till the end of time way better.Beyonce music sounds just as crappy as rihanna and lady gaga dumb sh!t

  • karmel

    It’s the commercial and it does sound like J-hud. It’s the style.

  • Dolo

    Yeah Charlotte, you may be right but J-Hud aint singing it and Bedunce doesnt have J-Huds chops or range so another E-P-I-C F-A-I-L for the CAMEL’s Wife

  • Sasha FLOPPED!

    Rihanna is putting out way better stuff than beyonce nowadays. who would have ever thought? LMAO

  • WithAllHonesty

    This is garbage. someone please call Mathew. You’re daughter over fvckin’ up everything you built.

  • leah

  • chanelle

    I LOVE THE SONG GO BEY FOLLOW ME AT @LEWISG24 ON TWITTER I WILL FOLLOW YOU BACK.

  • CeCe

    I got two words for this Garbage…..EPIC FAIL!!!! BeYAWNce is overrated! Agree with one comment up above….. She is always around she doesn’t give any one time to miss her! She’s always in our face! I’m not a fan at all but I did listen to the song which was wack and it just pretty much confirmed why I’m not a fan….. It’s the same ol’ $h*t!!!!!!

  • sholla21

    I love “Run The World” & “Till The End of Time” but “1+1″ and !Best Thing…”, no.
    I wonder how this album will fare on the charts…

  • 2betrue

    Maybe she should sing a title about true self titled “Overrated!”

  • 2betrue

    Her dad Matthew is too busy warding off copyright lawsuits.

  • qweenempressidgaf.com

    Actually Cleo was the last of many african queens that ruled in northern subsaharan countries of africa, she just is the most popular because she was greek.

  • 2betrue

    Beyonce needs to learn how to write a song before she adds her screaming vocals to it. Ugh! Pretty girl though.

  • SMH

    she looks like Rihanna kinda IMO

  • Ldanny

    yes!

  • Ldanny

    I feel fine..still hating (ALWAYS)!

  • Ldanny

    SELLOUT!

  • meko

    Yeah.. I like the song but was thinking “she’s oversinging…”

  • tara

    why does it seem like everytime rihanna, latoya, or kelly drops something hott. beyonce drop something except lately everything has been super wack

  • Stephanie

    I dont like it…Sorry next song B come on you know u got to bring it…

  • v

    this is fire…

  • Kenedy

    I think the problem with Beyonce…if its a problem at all…is that she’s done EVERYTHING & i mean everything under the sun there is to do as an artist….that people are sort of bored & are now gunning for her failure….heck she could say she’s joining the WNBA & people would be unimpressed

  • letitbeme

    uhhh crikets, just boring why is she rehasing 1980′s piano elevator music???? Bey you have lost it hon!! Go back to the drawing board HON!! ugh!!

  • severine

    Yep, but that’s because Beyonce’s best years are behind her now. No hate there, but the fact that she has no real identity or life experience will only speed up her inevitable demise. She has nothing else to draw on!!

    Of course, Beyonce will always have some sort of career, but she will never have the same popularity she did during her earlier years. And, she is only mega popular in the US. Rihanna has a global appeal that Beyonce never attained at any point in her career.

    In short, Rihanna wins!!:)

  • selena akira

    less weave** not women…

    fame is not as important as ur etenal life… ***

    correction***

  • Natasha

    For past 5 years I was in love with Beyonce Maybe I still am “Crazy in love” and “Deja vu” are my favorite song forever B day is her best album But “Run the world”, “1+1″ and ” Best thing I never had” are very boring and not catchy at all. I am afraid that Beyonce lost her charm.

  • WTF

    This is a little Neyo-ish and this song sounds a little rough (demo?), but it’s ok. I feel like they these songs are being released to gauge to temperature of the water. The problem is that in her quest to stay with viable in the current pop scene, she is loosing something with her core audience. Sort of like MJB when she declared no more drama, and everyone started dissing her and ran for Keisha Cole. Her fans will never let her grow and if she wants to branch out, she may have to experiment with a totally different genre of music.

  • http://undressingher.com undressingHER

    i like her vocal range in the song…but it’s not catchy for the crowd she caters to. It certainly won’t make it in the pop world.

  • B0SS

    Love it!!!! Okaay now King B!!

  • gotta say it

    Tee Hee.. I agree she is fake as hell. I do however like this song. Get me bodied was good too, but she is a fraud.

  • http://www.blackbeautyweb.com NudeBlackBeautyWeb

    That outfit is hot. I would wear that in downtown Houston during rush hour traffic..make all the white men who secretly lust after black women GO CRAZY!! lol

  • http://www.blackbeautyweb.com NudeBlackBeautyWeb

    I like the song but it sounds more like something Rihanna would do.
