If I Were A Boy is fast shaping up as my Record of the Year.
I'm thinking of covering it...
If I were a boy; I'd have been made to annoy...

Seriously, Beyonce (like Whitney) knows just how to use her talent; 90% of the melody is sung straight, only 10% used to warble, which establishes the tune and improves it.

Where bloody Mariah and her equally talentless emulators warbles 100% of the time and totally loses the melody.
