MayFinally...sweet dreams to be had

Ok. It's finally happened.
Beyonce has finally released a song that I like.
Just for the record, I liked the stuff she did with Destiny's Child, and I also really enjoyed her debut solo album. But everything since then hasn't really caught my fancy.
Until now that is.
Sweet Dreams is her sixth single off her I Am...Sasha Fierce album. It is a huge step away from her predominantly R&B sound. Beyonce has found her inner new-wave-electropop, and has given us a song that has taken all the good bits of synthpop and new synth and added her own dark-esque lyrics. It sounds futuristic (ironic, given that it's heavily inspired from music of the past) and the video is definitely one of her best in recent times. I have to say that I found myself comparing this video to Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out Of My Head video.
However, there is one tiny little bit that I don't like. Her singing. She over sings.
See if you agree.
