cedricsSep 10, 2006Loves it. Beyonce is a perfectionist(VIRGO) and ahead of her time. The creative side of a woman in love and knows what it takes to keep and satisfy the one u love. Innocent and yet sexual.and catty.You can see it in upgrade u, kitty kat, irreplaceable.
-
-
JaySep 12, 2006Not only the best album of her career, but hands down, the best this year!

MikeSep 5, 2006Beyonce's Best Work to Date! She's in Control & It Shows! This Album is FLAWLESS!
-
-
SpeedSep 5, 2006This CD attacks you with one hot song after the next. Beyonce leaves behind the balladry of Dangerously in Love and shows her angry, jealous side. And it looks good on her.
-
-
ZachHSep 5, 2006THis album tops anything beyonce has ever done! brilliant!
-
-
BrittanyWSep 5, 2006Pure Fire!!! Simple as that!!!
-
-
ruthwSep 5, 2006Love the live instruments and influence of old funk and old skool R&B!!! I glad she tried some different things than sticking to the same formula as Dangerously In Love!
-
-
JaysonJ.Sep 6, 2006People Magazine gave it 4 out of 4. Where's that rating? Anyway, this CD is hot.

JasmineCSep 8, 2006This album is wonderful, probably Beyonce's best work. The songs are catchy and her Aretha Franklin-esque vocals are so vibrant on the album, should be a huge hit for her. My favorite songs are Resentment, Irreplaceable, Upgrade U, and Get Me Bodied, but I love the WHOLE album!!!!!!!!
-
-
BaronBSep 8, 2006Excellent example of great popular music because of its brevity. In 10 stellar tracks that emphasize attitude and energy, B'Day streams a variety of mini-anthems over hard hitting beats in a way only Beyonce can
-
-
KEVINRSep 9, 2006Thank you Beyonce, you have inspired me to keep striving and pushing to be the best. This album is absolutely amazing. The vocals are awesome and the creativity is out of this world. Ring the alarm is the best video that you ever made! You are my inspiration, one day we will work together!!!
-

MarcusHSep 9, 2006An amazing album that shows her growth and her natural ability to think outside the box. Not so cookie cutter and more Beyonce i love it!

TNGOct 11, 2006To all of the Haters, B-Day is the truth, Although I was a little thrown when I first purchased the album because I wasn't listening, but after a few minutes, I new that B-day was all B!!!! I love "Upgrade You" and "Irrepalceable". The album is ingenius and all it takes is an open mind and an open ear to hear that Beyonce is ahead of her class.

MaloryG.Sep 13, 2006B'Day is a fantastic album. I can't stop singing and dancing to it.
-
-
LilyGSep 13, 2006The album is fantastic, and one of the best albums of the year. The album on the surface may come across as just a fun dance album. But if you really listen closely the album has some great lyrics and thought-provoking theme when it comes to relationships.
-
-
JamesGSep 21, 2006B'Day is brilliant. Great uptempo tracks and ballads on this one. It's an album that you can play just straight through without skipping any tracks. I really believe that this album will get an Album of the Year nomination. It's that good.
-

SabinaHSep 2, 2006Amazing album.
-

kennitharSep 27, 2006I love u B....! I thought the cd was great, it wasnt alot of that cry baby slow music we were all expecting, but she did her thing with the upbeat tempos...
-

tikasSep 4, 2006Critics LIED when they said this album was bad- the best of the year! Go Bee
-
-
KaySep 5, 2006This can't be beat and is the hottest album I've heard in '06. Completely up-tempo with 2 killer balads. Thanks Beyonce - you did it again!
-
-
derrickpeppersSep 5, 2006On its own, B'Day is an amazing album that will surely garner her many awards in ceremonies to come. In comparison to the recent mind-numbingly aweful releases of some of her "peers" (ahem, jessica simpson) B'Day is an absolute masterpeice.
-
-
AdamSep 5, 2006No reason to not like this fun album
-
-
johnsSep 5, 2006awesome!
-
-
JeffXSep 5, 20063/4ths of the the tracks could be released as a single. I approached the Album expecting it to be okay. It has become one of those rare albums where more than just a few songs are really good. She is the best Singer over hip hop beats at the time.
-
-
candacegSep 6, 2006this album tells a story of so many relationships that women have experienced...each song demonstrating a different phase in the relationship...her voice is great on the tracks...definitely something new and fesh
-
-
MoniqueT.Sep 6, 2006B'Day is such a fun and energetic album. I can't stop dancing to the uptempo songs Get Me Bodied, Freakum Dress, Upgrade U and Suga Mama. Irreplaceable is a gorgeous mid-tempo song. My favorite ballad on the album is Listen from Dreamgirls. Beyonce did a terrific job. I totally love this album.

JASMNE`BSep 6, 2006i love this album, she did things with her voice we never heard b4. this album is worth every penny
-
-
KelliASep 6, 2006Ok. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a huge Beyonce fan....but I think this by far one of the best albums out this year. It's different from all the other garbage they play on the radios now-a-days. It's not overly Pop and not overly R&B. It's a fusion of everything. I definitely think you should get this album!

natashiapSep 6, 2006her best cd so far!!! i love every song

kaSep 14, 2006Listen to the CD, the entire CD then give a careful analysis. Beyonce is very talented and she expresses her talent well. This CD is showing her maturing into a woman. Give her credit, she deserves it. She works for the fans. That is why her art is so great.
-
-
StacyGSep 15, 2006This is the best CD from Beyonce as a single artist and as a member of Destiny's Child. The bouncy beats displays her connection to the south. As a woman I find the lyrics along w/the strong beats empowering. This stays in the CD player!
-
-
HolohSep 17, 2006Don't listen to the haters. Half the time the idiots haven't even heard the album but are judging by the singles. This album rox, every song is single-worthy. And that's a hard feat to accomplish.

JoeMay 18, 2007Beyonce is the hottest woman in the world. And Beyonce is a great singer. I like all her songs like Deja Vu and Ring The Alarm. She is one of the best singers ever.
-
-
LucieF.Nov 23, 2008B'day is an uptempo album and is definitely all about women.very different from dangerously in love but still got great uptempo songs. i like the 70ish sound on suga mama. very powerful vocals.

Nov 29, 2010UnderRated just like all Her Albums. No Fillers. Yes it has flaws but most of the time people are just nick picking and judging all the wrong things. Not Fair. Great Album.
-
Jul 29, 2011How do one follow up a masterpiece like 'Dangerously In Love'? Beyonce has proven that she evolves with every album... On B'Day her voice is more powerful, commanding and she has never sounded better. Truly a piece of art. Favorite tracks: Irreplaceable, Deja Vu, Upgrade U, Flaws & All, Ring The Alarm.
-
Jun 29, 2011My favourite Beyonce album, omg this is so perfect. I don't even have afavourite track 'cause they're all so perfect. She is my favourite artist!!!!!!

Nov 29, 2012Freakum Dress is one of the best song performed live I've ever heard ♥ Upgrade You & Ring The Alarm are very good songs. I love the fact that it's full of uptempos
-
Aug 3, 2012"B'Day" is just a timeless classic album filled with some of Beyoncé's best uptempos (Déjà Vu, Upgrade U, Freakum Dress, Get Me Bodied) and her best midtempos and ballads (Irreplaceable, Resentment, Flaws and All).
-
Feb 4, 2015I think: B'Day is the more-creative album of Beyoncé. This girl is an stupid amazing singer, i love her! But I Am... Sasha Fierce is better. The dancing from B'Day, the songs, the letter. B'Day is perfect. Get Me Bodied and Upgrade U are the best songs of the album.
-
May 4, 2015ore. You can tell all of her songs came from the heart. The only thing that I have to say is that I don't think "Run The World (Girls)" fits into the album AT ALL. Other than that, the album is flawle
-
Jun 15, 2015Foxes é maravilhosa. Eu amo tudo o que ela faz, tudo bem feito, impecável. Coisa de artista de verdade, é uma pena ver que não tem o reconhecimento merecido.
-
Jul 25, 2020Na verdade esse foi o primeiro álbum visual da Beyoncé. Só faltou o clipe de Resentment. Nota 10 nessa obra perfeita.

Jun 17, 2017Beyoncé did a great job here i love this album. People forget about this album... But it is totally original.. I love the away that Beyoncé make pop music sound so classy and it is not to young girl it is for every age.
-
Aug 21, 2022A skipless album from Queen B. Can't believe she recorded this in 2 weeks. Greatness
-
Sep 8, 2019Melhor álbum de músicas dançantes dela, os clipes são tops maravilhoso demais
-
Jun 21, 2018Underrated album! Definitely one of Beyoncé's best albums! Still a relevant album even though it was released 12 years ago.
-
Jun 22, 2018Beyoncé really revamped herself once again with this release, amazing album, not a skippable song in sight!
-
Jul 20, 2019Bops everywhere. Ballads and dance songs with Jay Z bars. Some versions in spanish. It all fits perfectly

Aug 2, 2022absolutely her best work. it has depth, but it's fun. it flows and feels complete as a body of work, but each song also has its own energy.
Awards & Rankings
-
Whereas Beyoncé's debut was accomplished in its diversity, albeit a sure sign of a new solo artist trying to find her voice, B'Day sounds like the album "Crazy In Love" initially forecasted.
-
BlenderB'Day never cools down, and swaety up-tempo numbers prove the best platform for Beyonce's rapperly phrasing and pipe-flaunting fireballs. [Sep 2006, p.138]
-
Apart from a few pop-R&B space-fillers, there's not much to dislike about B'Day.
