Beyonce’s next single from “4″ is “Party”

1

It has been announced that Beyonce has decided (or her record label, or collectively) that the next single after “Run The World (Girls)” and “Best Thing I Never Had” from 4 will be the Andre 3000 featuring “Party.” This is definitely not one of the strongest tracks on the album. We wanted “I Care” or, of course, “End Of Time,” which would have propelled the album sales to new heights. The track’s not so bad, but there are other great moments of there.

Listen, we totally agree with him. Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” is one of the best videos of all time and deserved much more than this. What we hate is the sense of entitlement he has jumping on stage whenever he feels like it. We really don’t listen to Taylor Swift at all but her expression when he left the stage and she stood there, it broke our hearts. He is a dickhead that needs to be put in his place. The poor girl, she seemed so sad that we wanna buy her record now. Click below for the video.
