The 100 Best Deep Cuts by 21st Century Pop Stars: Critics' Picks

[Itachi]

Wait... Freakum Dress is #1??  if they have to put Beyonce at the top spot, she had so many more songs that are better than that. Dance For You, All Night, Sandcastles, Hello, Dangerously in Love, etc.  (obviously i'm biased towards my faves )

I agree, but I've been nosing through the comments and it seems they got a lot on that list wrong. Freakum Dress isn't a song I skip all the time, but there are far better choices there, too.

Personally, I think the list is half biased, and half a writer grabbing some discographies and using whatever songs they were completely unaware of to fill in the empty slots.

the list itself is too difficult to make since they covered all pop albums released this century, they could have simplified it to say a per decade list. they didn't even had any Lana songs on the list but they have Halsey 

personally, I enjoy Beyonce's ballads/mid-tempo songs more than her upbeat songs (because they tend to be too repetitive with annoying hooks that ends up getting stuck in my head)

 True. And it is also Billboard, so I guess I really shouldn't be too surprised.

I'm a mix when it comes to Bey, because I do really love her ballads, but I also love the more upbeat ones. (I mean, my number one favorite of her's is Green Light.  But lmao, I totally see your point.)

freak show????
how I RolL? 

[Lemon]

Surely no Lana song has to be a joke? Yayo is a masterpiece. 

[WilderWein]

Kill The Lights and especially How I Roll YES, but Freakshow NO, could have been a hit tho. Justice for breathe on me, touch of my hand, early mornin, pfff and more and more where do i start. How I Roll is really good though! Very unique. Like family of If Im Dancing.

[celebration2009]

Breathe on Me, Touch of My Hand, Early Mornin', And Then We Kiss and Heaven on Earth are her best deep cuts. Fact. 

And Freakum Dress isn't even Beyoncé's best deep cut. 

[Isla]

What is the deal with How I Roll? There is nothing special about that song, it's average at most. Femme Fatale has far better songs than that one  

Freakshow and Kill the Lights are two of the best tracks from their respective albums though  

[Good4Ya]

The atmosphere KTL and Freakshow create is amazing  and HIR is simply genius so I think these are all good choices. 

 

[Chaoscontrol]

All I learned from this thread: I'm one of the few who loves KTL

[really really cool guy]

At least she made it to the top 10 

[LostInAnImage]

Yikes, I went through the whole list and basically all the selections were terrible (with the strange exception of the two BSB songs, which were absolutely spot-on).

But seriously, in what world does Gaga's "Teeth" and "Summerboy" make a list when "Dance In The Dark" doesn't?
