BEYONCE "B'day" Reviews

BEYONCE 'B'day' cover art
AZRating: 6.9
Users rating: 7.9
(132 votes)
Release: 5 Sep 2006
Label: Sony
Genre: R&B

Entertainment Weekly Rating: 8.9

On her second solo album, B'Day, the songs arrive in huge gusts of rhythm and emotion, with Beyoncé's voice rippling over clattery beats; you'd have to search far and wide — perhaps in the halls of the Metropolitan Opera — to find a vocalist who sings with more sheer force.  Full text...


Jam! Rating: 8.0

Rather, Beyonce's B'Day is a loud, raucous barnburner of a bash. Supposedly recorded in just a couple of weeks, this refreshingly immediate set finds the Destiny's Child diva wiping off the lip gloss and letting down her hair with a set of aggressively in-your-face hip-hop and R&B workouts.  Full text...


AllHipHop.com Rating: 8.0

The lyrics aren't girlie and neat. The tracks are an unsafe, gullie departure from DIL, which is befitting for the scuttled work. Ladies grab it, it's yummy. Fellas, learn from it.  Full text...


HipHopDX Rating: 7.0

B-Day is a wonderfully arranged album, complete with quality, original production from a long list of mega-producers.  Full text...


Monsters and Critics Rating: 7.0

It`s a rockier, edgier Beyonce belting out her I`m-my-own woman perspective on such intense tracks as "Ring the Alarm," the Tina Turner-esque funk/rock fest "Suga Mama" and the slick, wicked "Kitty Kat."  Full text...


PrefixMag Rating: 7.0

B'Day is a joyous uptempo album full of vibrant vocals, fierce production, and boundless energy. The only complaint is that it's over too soon.  Full text...


Popmatters Rating: 6.0

B-Day... well… it’s not a work of genius. It’s a solid album, but I definitely get the feeling that this album might have been rushed a bit.  Full text...


CokeMachineGlow Rating: 5.6

God forbid anyone calls this a concept album.  Full text...


LA Daily News Rating: 5.0

The best of the unfortunately named "B'Day" are a couple of r&b thumpers — "Ring the Alarm" and "Deja Vu," in which Jay-Z adds cheeky counterpoint to girlfriend's processed coo. It's more about the effective programming of beats than musical execution.  Full text...

beyonce you are so inspiring to me and i know a friend who really loves you i even think she knows how to sing like you and i would like you to met her because she lost her mother well really never had her and she wishes that you were her mother and just wish to met you


kiara Rating: 10.0

Beyonce album is the best and her voice will kill artist such as Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Whitney Houston and her song listen shows her voice in different ways such as strength, loudness, and she has a edgier sound to her voice


niko Rating: 10.0

Her voice is 100 % better than Mariah, christina and whitney's and Listen and Resement show that.


Barbara Gourdet Rating: 10.0

lcs Rating: 8.0

the first 3 tracks are worth the price of the CD -the rest is like chocolate icing - edgy and fun - just try not moving to it - but spare me the ego tripping speechlet before Listen B


Damion Rating: 10.0

The lyrics are very straigth forward and sending her message that she have deep inside.


Tierra Rating: 10.0

Beyonce and her music is real keep it up B love the album


Donavan Monerville Rating: 8.0

Beyonce is a great singer, but she can learn a few things from performers such as christina Aguellera, whitney houston and mariah carey, especially the fact that she have the same voice for all her songs, plz christina have the best voice, whitney have a legendary voice and mariah is great. as for Beyonce i think she can do better


tb86 Rating: 10.0

Beyonce, keep doing your thing girl keep your head up because your already at the top, dont stop keep makin them number one hits you truly are an inspiration in my life.


Keondrus Miles Rating: 10.0

I usely listen to hip-hop but i stopped for a second to here yo cd and its off the chain.


roland Rating: 1.0

Kelly and Michelle were the real talent. It just took some time to show. Beyonce heres a recommendation. Call up Timbaland. You'll need a revamp of mariah proportions after this trainwreck!!


BRI Rating: 3.0

The only song that makes this album worth listening to is irreplaceable. Why are ya'll hyping this album so much when she only spent two weeks making it? Is this really worth spending $10. I don't think so. Get over her looks and open your ears, she could have came a lot harder on this album.


Angel Rating: 7.0

I havent purchased the album, but I've heard it. The chorus 2 Kitty Kat, is the best! Ring The Alarm, Get Me Bodied, and Freakum Dress are 3 hardcore hits. Ebbonay, Im sorry girl, but you can't spell, and Rihanna is not a slut! For the rest of yah, Beyonce has never been my biggest star, but she's okay. Whitney will always be better, crack or no crack. Christina has a strong, powerful, soulful voice. Mariah is, and will always be the number 1 "MC"!


Jacquez Orr Rating: 10.0

Everyone needs to quit hating on B. She is the hottest chick in the game. Killing all of the others. This album show her true versatility and talent. Resentment and Listen are two of the best songs. The sultry sound on Suga Mama shows her raunchiness and soulfulness. Just know that Beyonce got talent and will always be the best. She makes Rihanna, Christina, Mariah, and any other "chick" look sad. B'Day is worth the while with its hardcore beats and crazy sounds. 2 weeks! WOW! Beyonce, I hear Grammys right now!


Jasmine Rating: 0.0

you can tell this album was rushed.. i thought i was getting a "dangerously in love" but i just got pure crap.


Laurence Reyes Rating: 10.0

Beyonce really is one of the best artist to date,
and this album really shows it all. it shows that her voice is really so versatile, and i think she is better than every other artist to date including christina, shakira, Mariah and even j.lo.


Quin Rating: 3.0

For her to have such great talent its a real shame that this cd sounds like she threw it up. I would not recommend anyone to buy this album. There's only 3-5 good songs that I can tolerate. This is a great cd to take your frustration out on by burning or breaking it!!!!


lesego Rating: 9.0

the cd is great it is rather loud but that what makes aven better i think beyonce has slik style and wish her the best in everthing she does


Kman Rating: 2.0

wow, this album was just so.......the same thing. I just heard it and its like everything else, probably the only good song from it was irreplacebale (SP), so thats why i give it 2 independant women, out of 10


Tamera Rating: 10.0

cool,I never heard a cd like this one. she has hit off once again. I think beyonce should keep doing what she's doing because, she is so great at it. She is like a sister to me because, I sing like her I act like and I love her songs and movie,and my favorite movie so far is Dreamgirls and I might see it when it first comes out in the movie thethres.


Cutie Rating: 5.0

Beyonce is very cute and acks like americas sweet heart but I still dont think this album was the best of all of her others.There were still a couple of songs on there that I enjoyed. beyonce is still my number one 1 singer


Banana Rating: 9.0

one of my favorite albums by her. She is very talented and showed a lot of emotion in this album. I really enjoy most of the songs and i have the whole thing on my mp3 player. She is a very talented artist and i loveee the album.


Portia Rating: 10.0

I think B'Day was real good, but her first Cd was a little better. But on B'Day my favorite songs are:: Rind The Alarm, Resentment (She really did her thing on that song), Kitty Kat, Get Me Bodied, and Upgrade Up (Thats the BEST song). Beyonce is doin her thing


Noname Rating: 7.0

Overall I like it, but Beyonce can do so much better, instead of rushing it to advertise Deréon. The best songs are Irreplacable, Freakum Dress, Ring The Alarm, Resentment and Listen. But still, could've been better, this is disappointing.


Aundrea Rating: 9.0

I love B'Day, but I like Beyonce's first cd, Dangerously In Love more. But she still did her thing on B'Day. My favorite songs are Get Me Bodied, Get Me Bodied Extended Remix, Upgrade U, Ring the Alarm, Irreplacable, and most of all Listen. B'Day is fabulous.


nisha Rating: 8.0

I though the album was HOT, but it was like any other album. This was the BEST album I thought she had done so far, I would like to see more. The album may have seem like it has been rushed a bit though. She had really gone over the top with this album, her style was all so CUTE, and I love the way she showed off in her videos. and she really do know how to work a dance in her pumps.All her pumps are nasty, and thats my thing, I love me some pumps, so Beyonce watch out cuz I can work a pump too.


Davina Rating: 9.0

I luv the CD, but the lyrics half of them don't make any if shes talkin' about J-Zay.
But its a great CD if there wasn't any other music out there just pop that Beyounce B-Day in and just keep it cool.


Tseveree Rating: 6.0

I agree ANGEL. Your all right. Mariah carey is the best always... Remember... And hey Davina you can't spell. You may made a mistake.Not
j-Zay , his name jay-z ok.. But beyonce is my better singer. I like this album


kirsten Rating: 2.0

emmm....i dont think beyonces all that talented. she has a few good hits like irreplacable and well...one other song i honestly cant think of it but she was better with destinys child. shes not that creative u know and shes not that great of a singer shes not mariah carey and she never will be. there are soooo many female artists way better than her like RIHANNA!!! =] like i said im not tryin to clown but....damn beyonces over rated. lol and if she made that cd in 2 weeks she obviously doesnt take her music career THAT seriously.


Ash-BF4LA3 Rating: 10.0

B kills just about every song on this album and she has topped many artists with her beautiful voice. but still i say that there is still competition between her and mariah carey. But she's still excellent. B keep doing ya thang


b3ckaxxxx Rating: 10.0

dis woman rite here has it all the looks the voice n most of all fans who would support her through anything lv ya b keep up with tha great sound u bring through th aspeakers


Takes One To Know One Rating: 8.0

She boldly declairs that "you need a real woman in your life" and knows that "a little sweat ain't never hurt nobody". Yet Beyonce has some how manage to make a irrsistable album, but the commercial appeal of this album also is it's downfall. On the song Kitty Kat she claims "You know I hate sleeping alone" stating that she has some serious abandonment issues. However, she slams that guy 3 songs later in Green Light "Ain't no problem you can go, I will find somebody else".
It's those ups and downs that have clear intergrations and intentions that makes this album irritable and irresistable. Beyonce can't seem to make up her mind about anything. It's really all over the place, but at the same time she brings up back with the hip-hop beats and magnetic lyrics.
The claim that she made this album in two weeks shows. Some of the production songs seem forced like on the bonus track "Lost Yo Mind" she screams....yes screams "I trusted you after all these years and I won't let you see me crying". Yet she basically screams the same thing in Ring The Alarm "Tell me how should I feel when you made me belong and the thought of you just touching her is what I hate most." What's the difference?
In the end B'Day is an album I can sit down, listen to and feel content with. It's not her best work but what is? Sure Dangerously in Love showed a more romantic side of Beyonce. Yet, this album shows a more bold,essenctic young woman who is coming into herself. It's very much a commerzialied declairation. For that I give it a 8.


michelle Rating: 7.0

I like Beyonce and I love her music; however the album sounds rushed and sounds like Jay-Z hand picked all of the songs; especially "Ring The Alarm," "Kitty Kat" (That song is the shit though), "Freakum Dress", "Green Light," "Irreplaceable," and "Resentment" (especially that one); "Dangerously in Love" was way better. I felt that she have done better; oh please don't hate on Letoya and try to compare her and Beyonce because they both in the same league and have practically the same musical background as well as with Kelly and Latavia


Melly12 Rating: 10.0

She spent two weeks on the albumm becuz after holding in so much while filming Dreamgirls, she just had to let it all out! I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Renee Rating: 8.0

You're right on about Beyonce until you compare her to Mariah and Christina or Whitney. Her music is not on their level - but I love her!

shantel Rating: 10.0

I love beyonce I love all of her songs that she has ever made. She is a role model and I love her for that. beyonce says everything that a women is thinking. I can't hate she is very talented and she can sing her ass off. I hate when people hate on her because she makes our generation better with her soulful songs and great anthems for women of today!


Zakiria Rating: 10.0

I love all Beyounce songs expecially irreplaceable because we do have men in the world that really think that they are irreplaceable. But I thank her for putting it out there because ain't man so good that they can not be replaced.


Danielle Rating: 10.0

everybody know this was mostly the best cd i we ever heard cause this was the cd my favorite songs are Deja Vu, upgrade u, ring the alarm, irreplacable and resentment cause when i played resentment on my computer it was flowing threw my ears and when i listened to it longer cause it was the long version when Beyonce started to play listen and get me bodied this is my favorite cd of all of them cause this cd expired me expecially the song resentment and when beyonce did dream girls she sung so good i just clapped all after the song ended and i go the dream girls cd so i be singing the songs really i be singing and i am telling you i am not going and listen when i sing listen i feel enpowering cause i can really sing but sometimes i feel shy but when i sing songs like that i listen to the lyrics it goes threw my head and then it goes threw my mouth and it makes a beautiful voice and beyonce is my role model i will love her like she was my own sister


William Rating: 10.0

Ok here's MY review of B'Day Deluxe Edition
She killed it on "Freakum Dress" that's the song that got stuck in my head since the original B'Day "Flaws and all" has replaced "Dangerously in Love" (song not the album) she did her thing on "Suga Mama" and "Upgrade U" I liked "Get me bodied" on this album because it was the extended version and "Deja Vú" I thought was just a try at making another "Crazy in Love" "Ring the alarm" is fine her cover of "Still in love (Kissing you)" I didn't like it was not that impressive as "Resentment" was I also loved "Listen" it really showed off her powerfull voice (or Dena Jones' voice lol) "Beautiful Liar" was ok but I heard a version where only Beyoncé sings in and I like that one much better "Irreplaceable" is by far one of her best songs! "Green light" is another one of my favorites its one of those Beyoncé jams you can't seem to get out of your head "kitty kat" was cool I would have loved her to repeat less and sing more other than "lets go little kitty kat....he don't want no more...." "Welcome to Hollywood" is yet another one that gets stuck in your head especially towards the end were she names all those celebritys!! Disc 2!! I would have loved to hear more song in spanish by her she sings and pronounces the word better that some artists that actually are latino also what's with all the "Beautiful Liars"!!! "Amor Gitano" is a cool song but I liked "Irreplaceable (Irremplazable)" it really wasent a translation of "Irreplaceable" it was its on song following the lines of irreplaceable! Well that's my review I give this a 10.0 if I could go higher I would!


DCfanquestionablenow Rating: 1.0

I been a fan of DC since SWV back in the day on there last CD said that wedre going to blow up, i followed them every since then, Liked everything from them till from the very first no no no song till the DC Fulfilled cd, now B-DAY i am very disappointed, i was looking forward something that was about a few times better then Her first solo project, but it's garbage. She let her 1 of her biggest fans down. B you need to take a break and let some of these other talented acts blow just like. Step up your game alot more next Beyonce. I love you as an artist but wasn't happy with this CD.
