it's playing dance music. beyonce is competing with lady gaga, britney spears, rihanna and katy perry. lead singles in 2011 are dance songs. out of those 4, only one who tried to sing on a lead single was rihanna, and that was probably specifically BECAUSE it was a departure for her & folks don't think she can really sing.
beyonce will sing on later singles. remember, of all the songs from her last project, the one that won a grammy was "halo." shoot, last time around, she released a ballad along with the dance single. it's not de rigeur at this point b/c it's not what's being checked for. i'm sure she'll drop a couple ballads from this album. but the lead single is specifically NOT the time to do it in 2011.
