And a better explanation than I can write of why Single Ladies (put a ring on it) irritates me so much.
Also:
I can’t even start on “If I Were A Boy”… that’s like a whole nother blog in itself.
Hell yeah. And it's maudlin to boot.
Edit: Hm, not sure that "maudlin" is the exact word I'm after here. "Mawkishly maudlin"? "Annoyingly depressing"? "Reminds me of 'Hey True Blue' - seriously, Worst Ever Big Finale Song Choice I've ever been involved with, and no one will bloody listen when you point that out dammit"? "Blah and depressing"? OK, most of those aren't 'words' per se, but God I hate that song, and the lyrics are seriously only part of it. Amongst the other parts are Mix playing it every bloody half hour, it's depressing and God, Beyonce, Get Over It. Dump him and leave and Stop Singing about it! Meh. And get over your stupidly idealised idea of manhood, sheesh.
