Разносторонне талантлива 27-летняя Бейонсе – певица, автор песен и актриса. А начала свой путь, как и многие известные музыканты, с семи лет, участвуя в церковном хоре. Бейонсе в 2001 году становится первой чернокожей исполнительницей и второй женщиной, удостоенной награды в номинации «Автор поп-песни года», ежегодно учреждаемой Американским Обществом Композиторов и Авторов (ASCAP).
Спецкорру Асириса не довелось посмотреть мьюзикл «Девушки мечты», в котором Бейонсе сыграла главную роль певицы, чьим прототипом послужила Дайана Росс, но думается, что выбор исполнительницы вполне закономерен. Интересно узнать мнение друзей, посмотревших этот музыкальный фильм.

Beyonce, «If I were a boy».
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
Id roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Id kick it with who I wated
And Id never get confronted for it.
Cause theyd stick up for me.

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear Id be a better man.
Id listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause hes taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell evveryone its broken
So theyd think that I was sleepin alone
Id put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that shed be faithful
Waitin for me to come home (to come home)

(Chorus)
Its a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think Id forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

(Chorus)
But youre just a boy
You dont understand
Yeah you dont understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You dont listen to her
You dont care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause youve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But youre just a boy.
