The Making of Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies'
The Lyrics
"Single Ladies," conceptualized by singer-songwriter The-Dream, was recorded after Beyoncé secretly married Jay-Z.
"It was the only public statement that they ever made about marriage," says the song's producer Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. "When we went into the studio she didn't have a ring on or anything, because at that point they were still really hiding it. That's where Dream got that concept from."
"I thought it was a subject that most women wanted to talk about because most of us men are scared as s--- to be bound to a commitment," adds The-Dream (real name: Terius Youngdell Nash).
The Sound
Ever notice that "Single Ladies" sounds a lot like another Beyoncé dance hit, "Get Me Bodied?"
"I always believe that every artist has a groove to them," says Tricky, who crafted the song's shuffle beat. "That rhythm is what she responds to," he adds. And once she had the rhythm locked in, she delivered the now-classic lines, "on point right away," says vocal producer Kuk Harrell. "She knows what she's going for."
The Video
Spawning a massive dance craze and hundreds of YouTube tributes, the moves in the music video for "Single Ladies" were choreographed by Frank Gatson Jr. and JaQuel Knight.
"She wanted it to feel good and powerful and she wanted something that everyone would do," says Knight. Beyoncé's main inspiration was the Bob Fosse-choreographed performance of "Mexican Breakfast" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1969 and, says Gatson, "Shirley MacLaine in Sweet Charity ... That is why Beyoncé ran up the wall [in the video]."
Pair those moves and killer costumes, "reminiscent of the high-cut leotards seen in both A Chorus Line and All That Jazz, but modern," according to designer Tina Knowles, and add a flash of that $5-million Lorraine Schwartz wedding ring, and it's easy to see why "Single Ladies" became an instant classic.
"I think the visual is what really pulled the record together as a whole," says Tricky. "The reach was just unparalleled."

I always said "Single Ladies" had a "B'Day" feel to it.

Mariah Carey: "Glitter criticism is annoying."
Mariah Carey has admitted that she is irritated by the constant criticism of Glitter.
Carey, who has recently received plaudits for her appearance in Precious, explained that she wants to move on from the 2001 film.
"It just gets annoying when eight years later they're like, 'The Glitter star, da-da-da'," she told Time Out New York. "I'm like, 'Yeah, you're current'."
She continued: "There have been worse movies. And I'm not sticking up for that movie. 'Cause it wasn't my thing. I didn't create it. But I do think the soundtrack is good."
Precious was recently named the best film of the year by Rolling Stone.

I agree with her. I never saw Glitter but this needs to stop.
But the soundtrack is horrible lol.

iWontSTFU’s Top 15 Albums of 2009
I’m going to present my favorite albums of 2009. I considered only album which release dates were in 2009.
#1
MARIAH CAREY – MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL
Mariah came back with an incredible album. I listened to it like crazy. She was able to give her fans a bit of all her sides: Old Mariah, hip-hop Mariah, pop Mariah. Unfortunately the album wasn’t as succesful as it deserves to be in my opinion. But in the end it’s whatever to me because hey I got an album that I can jam to for years.
#2
THE FAME MONSTER
Initially meant to be a re-.release Lady Gaga declared “The Fame Monster” to be a normal album with only eight tracks. However, all of the eight song are sick. There’s no weak song on the album. Definitely a superb album.
#3
SHAKIRA – SHE WOLF
After a few years of absence Shakira returned with her third English album. Taking a more electro-pop route she surprised many fans but she also managed to convince them and many critics including me. Although it’s not her usual genre you still know it’s typical Shakira. Thumbs up!
#4
ROBIN THICKE – SEX THERAPY
Although Robin Thicke’s latest work was just released it already ranks that high. Why? Well, maybe because this album is just great? Yes, it is. I got to admit that it is a grower but once you take your time listening you will love it. Plus, it’s always a pleasure to hear Robin’s voice.
#5
JAY-Z – THE BLUEPRINT III
It seems like Sean “Jay-Z” Carter just needs to name his album “Blueprint” and it will be a good album. Even though he has featured guest on every track it’s still a great Jay-Z album. Especially “Empire State Of Mind”, “Venus vs Mars” and “On To The Next One” rock.
#6
ALICIA KEYS – THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM
The follower of Alicia Keys’ highly successful album “As I Am” didn’t blew me away immediately but still it’s a good album. It’s funny though because my favorite songs are mainly the ones that are bonus tracks. Weird, huh?
#7
THE BLACK EYED PEAS – THE E.N.D.
The Black Eyed Peas killed it with this album. I always liked them but with this album they really got me. I want to mention though that without my girl Fergie they would be nothing special.
#8
MELANIE FIONA – THE BRIDGE
If you are a regular visitor of this blog you have already heard of my love for Miss Melanie Fiona. She’s so talented and such a lovely person that she doesn’t deserve anything but success. I wish more people will recognize and appreciate true singers instead of hyping up little idiots.
#9
LETOYA – LADY LOVE
LeToya’s second solo album was definitely a step-up in comparison to her debut album. Thanks to a shitty label aka Atlantic Records “Lady Love” wasn’t as promoted as it should have been because it’s totally one of the best R&B albums of 2009.
#10
WHITNEY HOUSTON – I LOOK TO YOU
Whitney Houston’s comeback album is also one of my favorites. She produced an album that fits her age and the current popular sound. My favorite songs are “Million Dollar Bill” which was written by Alicia Keys and produced by her boo Swizz Beatz and “Salute” which was penned by R.Kelly.
#11
AMERIE – IN LOVE & WAR
Amerie has never been a great album seller in the past years but this won’t prevent me from liking this album. Even though her strained voice can get on ones nerves every now and then, I appreciate her diffenrent sound.
#12
KERI HILSON – IN A PERFECT WORLD
I can’t stand Keri Hilson’s cocky ass (since her appearances on Shock Value) but I would lie if I don’t call this album a solid one. My favorite song is “Aliented”.
#13
COLBIE CAILLAT – BREAKTHROUGH
I adored her debut album “Coco” so it was a must do to listen to her second album, especially since “Fallin For You” is such a cute song. Good album overall.
#14
MARY J BLIGE – STRONGER WITH EACH TEAR
I like this album much better than “Growing Pains”. “I Am” is a great track and so is her collaboration with Drake.
#15
TERIYAKI BOYZ – SERIOUS JAPENESE
I don’t know how many of you guys have heard about the Teriyaki Boyz, a Japanese hip-hop group. Working with the Neptunes and Kanye West was definitely a good move. A refreshing hip-hop album with a different style. Love it.
So that’s it! Tell me which albums you liked the best in 2009 by commenting.
