I'm rating the physical single., July 11, 2007
This review is from: Get Me Bodied (Audio CD)
Now, of course I love the song "Get Me Bodied." When I heard that it would be the next single from the amazing album, B'Day, I was very happy. I know that I, along with many other Beyonce fans, believed that this should've been the first single. The layered harmonies over the hard, hip hop beat is quite a combination and it's just energetic and different. Its infectious nature comes from its simplicity; I never grow tired of it. (And trust me... I've played it. A lot!)
But the CD single leaves a lot to be desired. While I am overjoyed that Beyonce is still releasing physical singles in a music industry where the format has become almost extinct, there is really no reason to buy this. It includes two tracks: the radio edit and the extended mix. No b-sides, no special remixes, sadly. The radio edit is four minutes long and it has the part at the end where she calls out the different dances (uh-oh, old school, etc.) However, some are left out/shortened and and it sounds very jumbled and choppy. It would've been nice if the editing was done well. The extended mix was already on both editions of B'Day... so nothing new. The cover of the single is very nice. Beyonce is looking beautiful as always, and it's a picture that I hadn't seen before. So that was nice.
So, in conclusion, if you're a Beyonce/Destiny's Child collector like myself, then this will probably be a nice addition to your collection. If you're not a hardcore fan and already own B'Day, then this isn't necessary.

I was worried to know which song would be the final US single from BDAY...
outside the US will be receiving GREEN LIGHT as the final single from the album... but the US has the BEST DAMN TRACK off the album which is of course the marvelous GET ME BODIED!

Get Me Bodied!, January 21, 2011
This review is from: Get Me Bodied (Audio CD)
Very nice single! I was looking for it and finally I found it =)
Unfortunately this CD single comes with only 2 tracks, the Radio Edit and the Extended Mix, but they're great! =)
I Think that this song should have been released as the first single from the album B'Day! It would be a big hit for sure =)
