UTADA vs BEYONCÉ || The Best Man
Ok quite a random poll, but anyway
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.

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

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 .

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
