2.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money, December 30, 2007

By	Well, BLEEP You Too (A Southern Californian Forced into Washinton state) - See all my reviews

As much as I enjoy Beyoncé's Spanish singing, I find this Irreemplazable EP to be a complete waste of money since I own B'day [Deluxe Edition] which has 7 out of the 8 songs on this. To me, Beyoncé' and Columbia is pimping the material off of "B'day" as much as they can. Not Counting Cd and Vinyl Singles, There are or were (some limited) 13 different products containing B'day's material in the U.S.

1. This EP Irreemplazable
2. Original 2006 B'day CD B'day
3. original 2006 B'Day CD re-issue in Cardboard slip/express pack
4. Circuit City B'day CD 2006 with Bonus song "Back Up"
5. original 2006 B'day Vinyl LP record
6. Original 2007 B'day Cd Recalled B'day [Deluxe Edition]
7. Best Buy B'day Deluxe edition CD with bonus song "My first time"
8. Wal-Mart 2006 B'day CD with Bonus BET Official DVD
9. Wal-mart 2006 B'day cd with bonus "Ultimate performer" DVD
10. Re-issue of 2007 B'day [Deluxe Edition] with bonus Formerly international song "If" (Since they added that track, I consider it another release)
11. B'day Video anthology Beyoncé - B'Day Anthology Video Album
12. Wal-Mart B'day Video anthology with recalled song/video "Still In Love (Kissing You)"
13. Irreemplazable CD with Bonus Wal-Mart DVD (Which I found the DVD to be a waste)

That is just way too many different products for one album. Now, The music on this EP is great but the release of it is not and just a total waste of my money. So, if you own "B'day Deluxe", Don't bother.

1.0 out of 5 stars HIGHLY OFFENDED BY THIS CD!!!, September 3, 2007

By	C. Gonzalez (Delanco, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ok, first off I must say that just because she thinks she won certain awards for this CD doesn't classify her as gaining a spanish audience when the truth is she is actually ripping off the spanish audience! I am of Puerto Rican decent and I own the Deluxe Edition. Mind you the ONLY songs that were good in spanish were "Beautiful Liar" and "Amor Gitano". I think she is letting the fact that she sings in spanish run to her head. What kinda label would repackage this garbage and not think that her so called "Spanish Audience" that she "so calls" has not notice that it's the same cd as is in the Deluxe Edtion! It angers me that she would try to fool her so called "Spanish Audience" that she thinks she has to make a fast buck off them. The rule of thumb sweetie is to re-release a whole new album with 12 brand new spanish songs and take it from there. There is where you will sink or swim when the Latino audience approves or disaproves of your new songs. She re-used the same art, same music, same look. Honey, Really, B-Day is over! Stop promoting a CD and pictures that are like a year old. Is the label that horrible that they would re-use everything? In fact, the Deluxe Edition was pulled off shelves because of her copying and taking some one elses song. I really like Beyonce, I think she sings well..sort of...in spanish but what I was feeling from this garbage was that she really thinks just anyone who speaks spanish will pick it up and listen to it. My advice...DO NOT BUY! I REPEAT DO NOT BUY! IT'S JUST A RIP OFF. Instead buy Jennifer Lopez's CD "Como Ama Una Mujer" which stood a month number one and sold over a million copies to date! Don't buy this trash! Please, don't think I am hating on Beyonce because I am not. I am just being honest in my review and and really do know spanish enough to know what lies between romantic songs and songs which you just put out there just to grab a certain race. Please Beyonce! Do a better job next time or don't ever step a foot in the Latino Community!

1.0 out of 5 stars Let's be hone$t..., August 28, 2007

By	W. E. Phillips (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Let's be honest. This is just the Spanish disc of the B'Day deluxe edition, re-packaged with one remix added at the end. (The disc even has the same design!) And it was a rip-off the first time.

There are three different versions of "Beautiful Liar." A Spanish version, a Spanglish version and a "remix" with Shakira, which is not a remix at all. And I never liked the song that much in the first place. There are two versions of "Irreplaceble." There's the Spanish version and the excellent Nortina Remix. "Amor Gitano" is a great duet with Alejandro Fernandez. At the end, the Timbaland Remix of "Get Me Bodied" is included. This is the remix that had Fabolous on it, except for it to fit in on this EP, Beyoncé added reggaeton artist Voltio. The production is great and I love the song, but I would've rather have Voltio's raps left out. When she says "9-4-81" at the beginning, Voltio says "10-5-92." Well... I don't know if he got the memo, but Beyoncé wasn't just saying random numbers, that's her birthday. Overall, his presence ruins the excellent remix for me.

The disc is housed in an "express pak," or a recyclable cardboard sleeve... so there's no booklet. (There is a link for a website with a booklet included on the back cover, but it does not work.) No new pictures or anything. Beyoncé's is great at the Spanish language and the music is good, but the value is not. It was a rip-off when it was called "disc two" of the deluxe edition, and even moreso now that it's called "Irreemplazable." Don't buy this unless if you're a die-hard Beyoncé fan/completist (like myself) or if you didn't buy the deluxe edition of B'Day and you want the Spanish songs.
