i don't love the song...but something about the song/video combo really captures the feeling of just being cheated on [on your birthday]

mmmnot bitter at all. haha

...anyway, what do the rest of you think?

EDIT: ouch wrong forum, i meant to post this in general music chat

[Dreamland]

I saw the video and it was very interesting nothing I would expect from beyonce

I like it but then I dont like it

I'm a lil confused on this one

she looks a lil pale though in some seens but I guess that goes with the song or something

definitly somethin different

I'm not crazy about the song, either, although it is cool in its own way. The video is great, I think. Beyoncé is such a strong artist; she really is a modern creative power.

[Ayashi]

I'm glad she did something different this time. The PV is so emotive, so is the song, but it takes a little time to grow on you.
However, this topic shouldn't be here, should it?

[Kodayumi]

^^yup yup agree...nice song from her =)

[Keishi]

Anyone know that this song is directed to Rihanna? For being too close with Jay-Z?

[m2yu]

BEYONCE BLASTS RIHANNA IN RING THE ALARM

Radio stations around the country are buzzing about Beyonce's latest single Ring The Alarm. But MediaTakeOut.com analyzed the song's lyrics and discovered that Beyonce appears to be sending a message to her rival Rihanna - to stay away from Jay Z.

few months ago MediaTakeOut.com first reported that Beyonce was uncomfortable with the amount of time Jay Z was spending with Rihanna. Since then, both Beyonce and Rihanna have gone out of their way to publicly deny feuding over the Def Jam president. But in Beyonce's latest single, she explicitly warns the teenage diva to steer clear of her man.

In Ring the Alarm Beyonce sings about struggling with a cheating boyfriend. But Beyonce quickly turns her anger from her cheating boyfriend to the other woman. In the first recorded use of foul language by Beyonce, she sings "She's sold half a million - Gold, She don't love [you] - that sh@$ I know." Both of Rihanna's albums were certified gold (500,000 copies) in the U.S. - falling short of Beyonce's multi-platinum status.

And this isn't the first time that Beyonce has used music to lash out against her rivals. After the very public break up of Destiny's Child, Beyonce (then a member of Destiny's Child) released the hit song Survivor - attacking her former group members. Among the lyrics were, "You thought that I'd be broke without you, but I'm richer" and "You thought I wouldn't sell without you, I sold 9 million."

Below are the lyrics to Ring the Alarm.

Ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

Won't you ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

[chorus]
She gon' be rocking chinchilla coats
if I let you go
In the house up the coast
if I let you go
She gon' take everything I own
if I let you go

I can't let you go
Damn if I let you go

She gon' rock the VVS stones
if I let you go
In the 'Bach or the Rolls
if I let you go
She gon' pocket everything I don't
if I let you go

I can't let you go
Damn if I let you go
[chorus]

Tell me how should I feel
When I know what I know
And my female intuition
Telling me you a dog
People told me bout the flames
I couldn't see through the smoke
When I need answers, accusations
What you mean you gone choke?

Oh. You can't stay you gotta go,
And your other chick spending your do'
This is taking a toll
The way the story unfolds
Not the picture perfect movie everyone would assume

[chorus]

Ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

Won't you ring the alarm
I've been doin' this too long
But I'll be damned if I see another chick on your arm

Tell me how should I feel
When you made me belong
And the thought of you just touching her
Is what I hate most
I don't want you but I want it and I can't let it go
To know you give it to her like you gave it to me, come on

She's sold half a million - Gold
She don't love [you] - that sh@# I know
I done put in a call
Time to ring the alarm
Cause you ain't never seen a fire like the one I'm gone cause

[chorus]

How can you look at me
And not see all the things that I kept only just for you
Why would you risk it baby, is that the price I done paid
Cause this is my show and I won't let you go
All its been paid for, and it's mine
How could you look at me
And not see all the things

[chorus]

Who would believe such stupid rumours?? Specially the "Survivor" thing.

[Neo Daydream]

i dunno... i really like Beyonce's Check up On It but this song is just not doin it for me.. and she just looks so weird when she's dancin and doin that thing w/ her arm... *shrugs*

[Dustie]

She's dissing Rihanna?... *shrugs* whatever. Just why is it in Asian music section?

[Dreamland]

oh my god

I guess that makes sense

I know about the survivor song but now I know about this one

I'm sure jay-z loves her not rihanna but hey if she wants to go crazy then by all means do so

[everlastingRAINBOW]

***** gone crazy.

[HvnSntGurl]

^For real.
No offense but Rihanna aint worth that much stress.

i'm not sure but this was wad i heard on TRL..
there was this interview with her on TRL for d premiere of Deja Vu..
(forgot d date)
then they asked her about the dance moves in Deja Vu
the answer was that,
the moves in Deja Vu is mostly like acting.. not much of dance move like the last album she did..
so, i xpect that the whole album this time is more of acting skill then dancing skill.. so mayb this was part of it... ^^"

i think she's obsessed wif acting after her latest movie... ^^"
or she wanna win an oscar!...

[benslave4u]
