UTADA vs BEYONCÉ || The Best Man
 
Ok quite a random poll, but anyway :laugh
Both Utada and Beyoncé have made a song about wanting to be a guy.
So which song is the best? Make your choice based on the music or lyrics, not the MV's.

Utada - You Make Me Want To Be A Man
This song is about not being able to understand a guy (her former husband?) and him not being able to express his feelings to her. Therefore, Utada wants to be a man in order to communicate with him properly.
The music is quite experimental, dance-ish.

Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy
In this song, Beyoncé tells the world how much easier life would be if she were a guy, or how she would or wouldn't treat a woman. Basically the same theme: she doesn't understand why her man treats her the way he does.
This is a nice R&B ballad.

Make your choice :) I voted Utada because I simply LOVE the song! Halo would've won this poll for me, but If I Were A Boy is too generic for my taste.

Hikki<3

pommy48 3rd March 2009 01:16 AM

hikki, i love it when she gets all experimental and stuff

kang daesung 3rd March 2009 02:20 AM

Hikki.

But I like Ciara's "Like a Boy" best, maybe.

Ayumi27 3rd March 2009 02:21 AM

I love hikki but I prefer If I Were a Boy

dreamland2.0 3rd March 2009 02:28 AM

I love YMMWTBAM (hehe)
An excellent catchy song :)

Purple Neko 3rd March 2009 03:14 AM

LOL Hikaru FTW <3

CHE.R.RY 3rd March 2009 03:48 AM

ROFL I'm one of the only three that said Beyonce's 'If I were a Boy' xDDD! Ok so, I like both songs, but personally I think the lyrics to 'You Make Me Want to Be a Man' are a little out there. Plus, I just feel that 'If I were a Boy' has a much more memorable melody :yes.

XFER 3rd March 2009 05:35 AM

Utada Hikaru for me, there's no competition :)

hayasaki 3rd March 2009 05:47 AM

hikki...

i never liked beyonce's... xd

darkcarousel 3rd March 2009 07:46 AM

definitely hikki
that song just rocks

jbrat2219 3rd March 2009 07:51 AM

That's hard.... I choose If I were a boy

I don't understand You Make Me Want To Be A Man....

CoriKaru 3rd March 2009 09:10 AM

Me too. Bey.

koumori 4th March 2009 09:42 AM

I really like both songs, and they're different in ways as well...

But I love Utada's song (especially live) so she gets my vote. <3

Hachimitsu 4th March 2009 10:00 AM

I chose Hikki, but I like both.

lovelism 4th March 2009 11:01 AM

Beyonce!!!

extepan 4th March 2009 11:36 AM

Beyoncé - If I Were a Boy

Amrai-chan 5th March 2009 11:57 PM

Hikki. That song was ahead of it's time in my opinion.

paper_doll 6th March 2009 01:18 AM

Beyonce hands down.

Loo-chan 6th March 2009 01:30 AM

Both are good songs, but nothing can beat YMMWTBAM live. The rhythms are so powerful; even while listening to the audio rip you can feel them reverberating in your heart. It's absolutely amazing.

So yes, that gets my vote.

Mr GaGa 8th March 2009 05:36 PM

beyoncé

RikkuChii 9th March 2009 04:11 AM

Hikki

LEOyumi 9th March 2009 04:35 AM

YMMWTBAM is kind of ridiculous to me, don't like it. Bey's song is not that good too, but definetely better.

xLuna&1LOVE 9th March 2009 12:24 PM

Beyoncé ownt Hikaru

nemesisyume 21st March 2009 02:54 PM

Beyoncé - If I Were a Boy is much better :yes

Deibel 21st March 2009 09:42 PM

utada, of course! ^__^

happiholic★ 22nd March 2009 09:38 AM

Beyonce. You Make Me Wanna Be A Man is the kind of song that I normally would like, the beat is so sick, but with Utada's singing, something throws it off...

ayumixfan 22nd March 2009 11:17 AM

^ I totally agree. This song was just not for her vocals. It doesn't suit it :S ~!

Beyonce's song though is amazing <3 I really like the meaning to it (although I find it weird cuz I'm a guy and she kinda bashes guys LOL) but it was really well done : ) ~! I never realized Beyonce was like AMAZING AMAZING at singing until I heard this song lol.

I feel exactly the same way, that live performance in Utada United of Kremlin Dusk + YMMWTBAM is AWESOME, extremely powerful, you can feel the beat in your entire body.

For everyone who's never seen it, for the love of god, watch it.

the first songs starts kinda slow but the climax + bridge to YMMWTBAM is pure love.

Ayumi_Hamasaki902 24th March 2009 11:12 PM

Utada - You make me want to be a man

One of my favorite songs on Exodus

Melon Panda 24th March 2009 11:30 PM

I think Beyonce does it better, in this case.

angelwing886 29th March 2009 08:55 AM

Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy

Twinkle ! 30th March 2009 03:04 PM

BEYONCE Sure

hikki's song it's meh for me

chloeM 4th April 2009 07:32 AM

haha... nice thread...
i'm gonna go with if i were a boy

Corrsgirl1 9th April 2009 11:05 PM

You Make Me Want To Be A Man to me sounds so much more like someone who is powerful. If I Where a Boy sounds so much like oww i'm such a victim...

TITANIC 10th April 2009 01:26 PM

BEYONCE

Keiichi_JPU 4th May 2009 10:53 AM
