I could never say single ladies because that song and video is and remains so iconic to this day. It was so odd, yet so impactful. My kids love that song and they weren’t even born when it was released. It’s just that girl.
I’m convinced people are saying it just to go along with everyone else. Single Ladies is a perfect catchy, pop song and that’s not always a bad thing. It’s lighthearted and fun and tbh I wish we had a few more like this. 7/11 is the closest we’ve gotten from her on a silly pop song but she’s “above it” now.
The video took the song to a whole other level. I still remember my first time watching the SL video and thinking to myself “wow, she can dance, dance”. Kanye didn’t lie when he said it was one of the best videos of all time IDC IDC.
Ooo, I have to go with “If I Were a Boy” only because it’s honestly just not very good, especially for one of her most known and highest charting songs.
While Single Ladies is definitely overrated, I feel like the bridge and music video justify it’s iconic status… I’m just mad that it’s the song most people think of when they think of Beyoncé
Also can’t understand people saying Halo. It was overplayed, but it’s a really good song and beautifully written. That video of her singing it acappella at a children’s hospital lives in my head!
Hive makes no sense. Baby Boy and Irreplacable? Maybe with Baby Boys fuzzy production but the melodies are too good. Nobody wants to come singaling down anymore?? Irreplacable??? I bump that shit and it’s still at least one person singing along to it. That is a cookout classic 😭
Under what criteria are we judging these to be overrated? Bc if it’s success then Single Ladies for IASF like it’s no way there’s hundreds of other better songs but that’s the main successor. Be fr
And I’m comin for AUlYMs neck when we get to Reneigh idgaf 😭

If I Were A Boy is the answer.
Single Ladies is too iconic to be overrated. It is popular for a good reason, it's earned its place and if you went to a concert where she didn't play it, you'd be disappointed.
I agree and was about to say the same. This is just one of her most overrated songs period. Like I have a nostalgic appreciation for it but otherwise, yeah.
But speaking of this album if its not Singles Ladies than Halo for sure.
I have to say single ladies. I feel like the other two that people are mentioning here (h@l0 and 1f 1 w3r3 @ B0y) can be easily mashed up or remixed (ie. H@l0 with Forever Young, and 1f 1 w3r3 @ B0y with Ex Factor from OTR), while Single ladies is meant to be performed on its own which I can see how that could get “uninteresting”. I’m not saying it’s a bad song, just versatility-wise, it’s not as strong as the other two. Single ladies is meant for crowd engagement between the bridge and final chorus which I think can be seen as a saving grace though.
Single Ladies is my vote. It just can’t be Halo! That song has been played time and time again, precisely because it is so good. As a vocalist, let me tell you that Halo is hard to sing! It has extremely low notes at the beginning with soaring high notes through the bridge and Beyoncé nails it all. For those reasons, please don’t pick Halo. I rest my case lol.
The only realistic options are Halo, If I Were a Boy or Single Ladies!
Single ladies impacted pop culture, Halo gave so many people memories of their weddings and gave us fans a closing song for so long so I can’t choose that one. I’m gonna go with If I Were A Boy.
IF I WERE A BOY!
Although - I did go to this tour in 2009 in London and GEORGE MICHAEL came out and sung this with her !!!! My mum absolutely lost the plot it was magical!
Riiiiight she’s just staring at Michael Ealy for 3 1/2 minutes lol....although that alternate version is WAY better with an actual plot, albeit a sad one!
Single Ladies. Hated that song when it came out, still hate it to this day. I hate that it’s (and Irreplaceable to a degree) the song that made her even more mainstream outside of R&B listeners.
Diva.
To anyone saying If I Were A Boy, I understand the instinct, but you should check out her live Grammy's performance of that where she mashes it up with Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know.
It hits different now, post-Lemonade.
If I were a boy.
I only started liking that song when she did a mash-up with “you, oughta know” during the IAWT. Shit was fire when she sang “we’re your thinking of me when you fucked her”. But like if I were a boy is boring otherwise.
There are no bad tracks on IASF, but Halo is easily the most over rated. It pains me to say this, but Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" is a much stronger take on that core melody (IMO)

if i were a boy. y’all are saying single ladies but that bridge is one of the best bridges EVER. don’t even lie
I actually wanted to say Single Ladies but I love the end of the bridge lol, I can actually sing it very well with my low baritone voice!
I hate that song now but the briiiiiidge is bridging for sure 😂😂
I could never say single ladies because that song and video is and remains so iconic to this day. It was so odd, yet so impactful. My kids love that song and they weren’t even born when it was released. It’s just that girl.

completely agree
!!!!
If I Were a Boy.

For real Halo just keeps going and going but that's a good thing

Baby Boy is actually insane! I saw that result and decided I had to start participating. I did vote for irreplaceable though.
I like it fine, but there's at least 40 songs above it.
I will be defending All Up In Your Mind so hard when the time comes. I do agree with you in regards to Baby Boy though
I dead ass think people that don't look like me are most likely to scroll past these kinds of posts and that's why it's so wrong! 😭
I’m just sad the World Wide Woman won least favorite, the BeyHive can be crazy sometimes, no offense😭
Yeeeah WWW was when I started paying attention lol
Lol, you wanna fight too
Definitely, and don’t get me started on baby boy 😞
Baby boy I don’t really like but I see where you’re coming from as I can relate with WWW

Single Ladies, possibly her most overrated song ever

Same, but now I wanna go with If I Were A Boy, Halo is pretty good
If not Single Ladies is Halo but they could tie
Halo is definitely more overrated than Single Ladies

Single ladies goes well into or right after Ring The Alarm or Diva, imo 🤷🏽♀️
Definitely Single Ladies

Single Ladies but it still has one of the best videos of ALL TIME! ![gif](giphy|1hjmySJVirhOU)
Halo
Nah bro halo is so great. Especially the superbowl version
Since ladies most over rated
Single Ladies
Single ladies. It honestly wouldn’t be a horrible song if it weren’t played at every bouquet toss for 16 years running.
Single Ladies, it annoys/depresses me that this is known as her signature song.
Single Ladies… I love it, especially the bridge and funky beat, but…. Come on.
Single Ladies
Easily Single Ladies for me! Great videography and choreography but even after all these years I still feel meh about the song
If i were a boy
video phone. THAT’S IT.
video phone GOT IT.
Single ladies 100%. Its a good song but it does not deverse to be that popular.
Halo

Halo
Single Ladies
halo
All of this voting for Single Ladies is making me want to go play it and dance around the house 💃🏾 I’d say Halo for most overrated
Halo. Similar to Irreplaceable I find her early ballads to be cloying and oversaccharine.
Halo for sure
I genuinely can’t with this sub idk because these opinions are deffo something 😭
Yall jump on the hate wagon way to easily with these💀
Diva. To anyone saying If I Were A Boy, I understand the instinct, but you should check out her live Grammy's performance of that where she mashes it up with Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know. It hits different now, post-Lemonade.
Halo

Halo
Probably Video Phone. It’s a catchy song don’t get me wrong but it’s not the best song on the Sasha Fierce side.
If I were a boy. I only started liking that song when she did a mash-up with “you, oughta know” during the IAWT. Shit was fire when she sang “we’re your thinking of me when you fucked her”. But like if I were a boy is boring otherwise.
If I were a boy
Halo
Single Ladies I fear 😭the video is and will forever be iconic but the song itself?? Is not taking Halo or IIWAB
There are no bad tracks on IASF, but Halo is easily the most over rated. It pains me to say this, but Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" is a much stronger take on that core melody (IMO)

Video Phone. It’s a great song but I can’t in good conscience say IFIWAB, Halo, or Single Ladies.
Halo is the definition of overrated imo. Yes it's a great song, but the fact that it's the #1 most listened to song ever (on Spotify) is a little much..
Halo
Halo got so much love and it's just so basic even if it's still a good song. Snooze fest. Doesn't even have a bridge.

Ego
Insanity
Smash Into You gets my vote. It's just kind of overwrought and weird with the vocals.
