Posted Feb 23rd 2007 1:50PM by Karu F. Daniels
Filed under: Entertainment Newswire

By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices

Spanish pop sensation Shakira (l) is a part of pop superstar Beyonce's new expanded double disc version of 'B-Day' arriving in stores on April 3.That Beyonce Knowles sure knows how to make a statement.

Fresh off the heels of winning the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album, the official word has been announced about a repackaged, expanded version of Beyonce's 'B-Day.'

And she's bringing Spanish pop sensation Shakira along for the ride.

According to a spokesperson for the 10-time Grammy winning superstar, a two-CD edition of the opus will arrive in stores April 3.

In addition to the original 12 tracks from the multi-platinum opus, Disc One of 'B'Day - Deluxe Edition' premieres three brand-new songs in English; the album's first single, 'Beautiful Liar,' is being branded as superstar duet between Beyoncé and Shakira.

Other new songs on disc one are 'If' and 'Flaws & All.'

Disc Two will debut six new Spanish language tracks including the previously reported 'Amor Gitano,' Beyoncé's sensuous flamenco-pop duet with Latin Grammy-winning superstar Alejandro Fernández. Rounding out the second disc are Beyoncé's Spanish language versions of the Academy Award nominated 'Listen (Oye)' and the chart-topping hit single 'Irreplaceable (Imprescindible).'

Three new mixes of 'Beautiful Liar' round out the set's new selections.

Also arriving on April 3 is Beyoncé's 'B'Day Anthology Video Album.'

Available exclusively at Wal-Mart, 'Video Album' includes Beyoncé's videos for 'Kitty Kat (intro),' 'Upgrade U' featuring Jay-Z, 'Deja Vu,' 'Ring The Alarm,' 'Irreplaceable,' 'Listen,' 'Green Light,' 'Suga Mama,' 'Get Me Bodied,' 'Freakum Dress' and 'Beautiful Liar' featuring Shakira.

As an added bonus, the video collection features the Spanish-language version of 'Irreplaceable' and the Spanglish version of 'Beautiful Liar' with Shakira.

1. GOOD JOB BETONC'E SINGING IN SPANISH AS WELL AND SOUNDING WPNDERFUL AS EVER!HATS OFF TO YOU YOUNG LADY WE LOVE YOU...(MY DAUGHTERS&I)

DEBRA at 7:30AM on Feb 24th 2007

2. Just great, Beyonce is wearing thin, Take a break and let everyone else get a chance at the spotlight.

I don't see the need in releasing that half decent album again, I mean, she recorded it in what 1-2 weeks?.

I don't care to hear Beyonce singing spanish.

Ya Boy at 6:59AM on Feb 26th 2007

3. Ok black voices- Enough of Beyonce. Im going back to Latin voices and i dont read spanish

4. I love love love love love love love love love love BEYONCE' Haters step aside, if you are tired of a real singer, actress, perfomer like Beyonce' then there's an easy solution TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISIONS, and UNPLUG YOUR RADIOS and lock yourself in a vault with the nonsingers like Ciara, J-LO, Janet! Beyonce' is the female version of Michael Jackson. Beyonce' I say do you thing honey because you know there's some evil heifer waiting in the wings to take your place and in the words of my all time favorite singer/entertainer PATTI LaBelle "Nobody's Taking My Place Right Now!!"

5. Who's hating? Please use that word in the right context. Beyonce is boring. That's my opinion along will many other people. Yes she is talented and beautiful but she is over exposed, selfish and blah...........


ain't nobody "Hatin" on beyonce.
She need to take the very much needed "BREAK" she claimed she & Destiny's child was going to take.

Jennifer Hudson is in town now, Beyonce will have to play 2nd best.

Ya Boy at 7:49AM on Feb 26th 2007

6. Here she goes again! As soon as somebody else start to get reconized she has to throw something out there. Please her first b day sucked and I am not interested in hearing her sing in spanish either. She wants to do everything but she can't. She is not even the best singer and she sure can't act. Have you heard Jennifer sing the girl can blow and bey wish she had a voice like hers. Beauty can get you in the spotlight but it can't keep there.

7. Why the venom? Beyonce is one of a kind. Her talent reaches beyond one language and one genre. Thank God for giving us her love,talent and beauty. It really takes a great person to embrace another's individual beauty, ethnicity and grand talent such as Shakira, but she has done it before and I suspect she will continue to push herself to greater heights. Beyonce has exhibited confidence ever since she was a baby and for good reason. Her maturity has proven that Jennifer Hudson, Ciara, and all of the other beautiful artists are simply a compliment to her own. I am happy for Jennifer Hudson and I know with time, her voice will develop into a master.

To all of God's children - thanks for giving us your all - you inspire millions to also do great things.

8. my beautiful black sistas and brothas when are we gonna learn to appreciate each other and support each other for doing positve things and making bold moves. Im glad that someone who looks like me can and will make courageous move and be bold enough to take stands in whate ever they believe in. Its not all about competition. Its about self esteem and faith in the Lord, to believe that all things are possible if you just beleive. But O well Martin Luther KING DIdnt have 50%of black folk support him, i know of one personally. BUT I STILL HAVE HOPE, AND I STILL LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK SISTAS AND BROTHERS jUST REMEMBER HIP HOP RULES rULES RULES. EVERY OTHER RACE IS SO CURIOUS ABOUT US, IF WE ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL WIL COME TOGETHER, AND REMEMBER THE STRUGGLE. REMEMBER THE STRUGGLE REMEMBER THE STRUGGLE

9. Well I like Beyonce' but at the same time Im kinda getting tired of her only for the simple fact Im tired of seeing her, and hearing her. Everytime I turn around she out with a new song or playing in a jacked up movie. (except dreamgirls) She has a wonderfull voice but people will get tired of hearing her because #1 the radio plays her songs like too much to the point im tired of hearing it and dont want to listen to her cd for a while. I think she should wait a while before she does another movie or cd. Thats just too muchh beyonce. After a while people are going to start thinking she's the only female pop artist or r&b artist because she dont shut up. I know she has talent and can do many things but take a break and share the spot light. She should be like Mary J. Blige. Wait sometime then come back and hit'em hard with some wonderful other than a different language /Cd of the Same CD u just came out with. That will make people like u more rather than hating u for being around so much. Let us miss u. I garantee people will like you more even with that chip on your shoulders you walk around with. Cause girl I gotta tell you Fantasia really sings better than u and I will take her anyday over you even with all that holloring she be doing. LOL Look on the right side you can still be friends with Jennifer Hudson. LOL

10. Congratulations first to Jennifer on her win last night at the Oscars!
DO YOUR THANG BEYONCE, I WILL BE PURCHASING THIS B-DAY ALBUM AND ANTHOLOGY. IF YOU ARE TIRED OF HER STOP POSTING IN ARTICLES THAT CLEARLY STATE THEY ARE ABOUT HER. DON'T BUY HER MUSIC, DON'T EVEN DISCUSS HER, THAT SHOULD GET YOU SOME RELIEF! B-DAY WAS NOT SO-SO, GRAMMY WINNING ALBUM, OVER 2X PLATINUM, SOLD OUT CONCERTS, THE GIRL IS DOING IT LIKE NO OTHER!

munchosgirl in miami at 9:09AM on Feb 26th 2007

11. IMO it's time for Beyonce to take a break. It's like my golf game I play everyday and when I do take a couple of weeks off my game gets better I don't swing as hard.

Bey has been working hard for some time a hiatus could prove to be rejuvenating. Recharging the batteries is the order of the day.

Jennifer Hudson has the better stronger voice but Beyonce has the look. If Jen goes into a weight loss program the sky's the limit. JMHO 8-)

Joseph at 9:14AM on Feb 26th 2007

12. Well personally I'am not a fan of beyonce not because I'm a hater or anything to me the girl is just plain phony. She can't stand for anyone else to have their five minutes of fame, she want everyone to hear her, see her and love her. Well I'm sorry to say everyone can't be on top forever there comes a time in life where someone else turn may come along. Not because their better than you because no one is better it's just their time to shine. I gotta give it to her J. Hudson the girl is bad you can't be mad at her if she got it she got it. Bey your cool too but personally I can go a year or two without you. But it's understandable it's not you it's your parents. Do yourself a favor take a chill pill, kick up your feet, relax your fans will always love you trust me you are not that easy to forget about believe me. Be Good and God Bless.

13. beyonce and Shakira together!why would Shakira waste the time: she probably pity her .has anyone really listened to Beyonce's music--the lyrics and melody are all the same. Don't class a REAL DIVA AND SINGER and ARTIST like PATTI LABElle with beyonce there no comparison. Beyonce needs to really learn to sing instead of her version "screaming". And Shakira can SING, now you can class Shakira with Patti LaBelle; Aretha Franklin.

harrigan at 9:57AM on Feb 26th 2007

14. ON A LIGHTER NOTE!!! Congrats to FANTASIA, the young lady that can sing anything and make it HER OWN! Broadway is just the BEGINNING for you! In the words of Quincy Jones, "You Future Is So Bright It Burns My Eyes!"

I love you!

15. Beyonce' Keep your head up!
There's plenty of people who don't like you, but 10 times more who LOVE and you and I know you LOVE YOURSELF!

Put On A HAPPY FACE!

Ride it all the way baby!

You are the TRUTH!

LOVE YOU!
Beyonce' Fantasia, PATTI I love Yall!
