Whatcha Say: Beyonce’s “Bow Down” and Dannii’s ‘Neon Nights’ Got Our Readers Talking

BOW DOWN! After weeks of anticipation, King Beyonce finally delivered us a teeny taste of what’s to come, in the form of her new buzz/promo/something-or-other track: “Bow Down/I Been On.” We quickly drew inspiration from the bootylicious muse’s cover art, resulting in a slew of adorable “Bow Down” memes from you guys.

At the same time, Justin Timberlake finally let his 20/20 Experience loose on the public, along with the stunning video for “Mirrors.” Plus, one of the UK’s greatest girl group ever called it quits (and our lives grew cold forever), and we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Dannii Minogue‘s flawless Neon Nights, and everyone got in on the action to celebrate—including Dannii herself!

Check out some of the best comments of the week below.

:: Aaron Tlucko knew exactly what Prince was thinking as the winner of this week’s Caption This: “This is what it looks like when a legend plays.”

:: JustinMar was simply not having it on Beyonce’s “Bow Down” & “I Been On”: Hear The New Songs: “I havent accomplished a fraction or decimal of what this woman’s accomplished, but bow down? Not to this mess dear and not to you.”

:: While DeShaun A. Zollicoffer bowed down—but not too seriously: “Love the first half, but the screwed and chopped stuff sounds a little forced. But yeah — it’s her. I liken this to Lady Gaga’s “Cake”. Just a fun song to get people’s attention.”

:: markiejoe wasn’t really keen on letting JT’s groove get in on Justin Timberlake’s ‘The 20/20 Experience’: Album Review: “The lyrics on this album sound like something I wrote on my notebook covers when I was in junior high.”

:: And once the Justin Timberlake’s ‘The 20/20 Experience’: Review Revue (Part II) rolled around, @BigMouthEnt got excited on Twitter: “I always look forward to the @idolator review revue when a new album drops.”

:: Matthew Lee got nostalgic on Dannii Minogue’s ‘Neon Nights’ Turns 10: Backtracking: “If people can push past the MInogue surname and look at the music, Dannii has churned out some great songs that are uniquely hers and not some kind of send up of Kylie’s material – who I adore by the way. 
Neon Nights is a great album and a cohesive one at that. The songs today, 10 years on, are every bit as great.”

:: While David Watson got shady: “Would love some new Dannii music as the crap her sister is churning out is just horrible. One of the Minogue girls should show that they can still make great music.”

:: And Queen Dannii Minogue herself got positively overwhelmed on Twitter: “Mike Wass #MadeMeBlush.”

:: HELLO had mixed feelings on his dirty mind on LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg & Fatman Scoop Team Up On “We Came To Party”: Listen: “Snoop whatever made himself irrelevant. LL needs to get in my bed.”

:: Danny evidently had MKS on the brain when he saw Girls Aloud Announce Split After Final UK Show: “In other news….The LA Times reports ‘Mutya/Keisha/Siobhan heard giggling around the world.'”

:: And Richard Craig Morales got punny on Miley and Snoop Dogg‘s upcoming collaboration on Facebook: “Damn, it’s too early to be April Fools, so I guess you ain’t Lion.”
