"Listen" is a song recorded by American singer Beyonc. The song was written by Beyonc, Henry Krieger, Scott Cutler, Samantha Worley and Anne Preven, and produced by The Underdogs, Matt Sullivan and Randy Spendlove for the 2006 musical film Dreamgirls, in which Beyonc's character Deena Jones sings the song in an expression of independence from her controlling husband. Columbia Records released "Listen" as the lead single from the Dreamgirls: Music from the Motion Picture soundtrack album on January 19, 2007. It additionally appeared as a hidden track on international editions, and on the deluxe edition of Beyonc's second solo studio album, B'Day. The Spanish version of the song, "Oye", was released on the EP, Irreemplazable, and the Spanish deluxe edition of B'Day.

One of four new songs written for the feature version of Dreamgirls (originally a 1981 Broadway musical), "Listen" is a soul-R&B song; its lyrics make reference to tenacity, love, the refusal to defer dreams and finally rise towards fame. Its instrumentation includes bass, drums, guitars, keyboards, percussion, and violins, among others. Contemporary music critics complimented the strong and emotional vocals of Beyonc, and added that the lyrics perfectly elaborate on Deena Jones's life. "Listen" won Best Original Song at the 2007 Critics' Choice Awards. It was nominated in the same category at the 2006 International Press Academy Satellite Award, at the 2007 Golden Globe Awards for all songwriters, and at the 2007 Academy Awards, for songwriters Krieger, Cutler and Preven.

While working on the script adaptation for Dreamgirls, screenwriter/director Bill Condon felt the second half of the film needed a song.[2] The "emotional punch" of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" led him to ask the musical team for Dreamgirls "to create a new and equally moving song to energize the second act".[4] Led by Henry Krieger, the composer of the original 1981 Broadway musical version of Dreamgirls, "Listen" was written with help from Scott Cutler, Preven, and Beyonc; it was one of four songs written for the film version of Dreamgirls.[6][7] "Listen" was produced by the R&B-pop production duo The Underdogs.[7]

"Listen" scored generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. A reviewer from Pitchfork stated that "when Beyonc belts out the chorus, the inspiration is real, tangible, and contagious".[24] Describing the song as a "devastatingly beautiful ballad", Chuck Taylor of Billboard magazine wrote, "Beyonc delivers the performance of her career, another defining moment in the brilliant flick [besides Hudson's 'And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going']."[11] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone noted that the song "adds grit and touching gravity to Deena".[25] Another reviewer of the same publication called the song "epic" noting that Beyonc "unfurls the true range of her magnificent voice".[26] Comparing the song to Andrew Lloyd Webber's "piano weepie[s]", a writer of The Observer stated that "Listen" is a "bangers-to-ballads ratio to die for".[27] Calling the song a "showstopper", Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe wrote: "['Listen'] is a big, soppy ballad that will move some to tears and irk others as a stunning example of art imitating life imitating art without a shred of irony."[10] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine said that "Listen" will undoubtedly be "the payoff for fans of Beyonc's voice who sat through the first [thirty-eight] minutes of [B'Day] waiting for the cum shot."[28] By contrast, Jody Rosen's review for Entertainment Weekly was less impressed, describing "Listen" as "gloopy" and "an inspirational ballad about 'the song in my heart', which builds to an enormous schlock-opera climax".[15]

Two music videos exist for "Listen", the first being a performance one and the second being a Vogue Shoot. The first music video premiered on MTV's Making the Video on November 28, 2006.[50] The other music video was released online and through the Dreamgirls DVD special features.

The music video, directed by Matthew Rolston, features Beyonc wearing a modern-day tank top, performing the song against a blank background which changes back and forth between white and black. Interspersed are some scenes from a photo shoot within her film Dreamgirls.[53] This version appears on the Dreamgirls DVD release. In the director's cut of this version, Beyonc is seen posing for a photo shoot not featured in the film in which she wears very outlandish clothing. As the shoot progresses it becomes more and more evident that Beyonc is not happy with the direction of the shoot and when she is handed a bird to pose with she becomes fed up, walks away and strips down to the black tank top and tights underneath. She then climbs the staircase of the building to the rooftop and finishes singing the song.

In addition, "Listen" was a part of Beyonc's set list on The Beyonc Experience and I Am... World Tour.[58] On August 5, 2007, Beyonc performed the song at the Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.[59] Jon Pareles of The New York Times praised the performance, stating: "Beyonc needs no distractions from her singing, which can be airy or brassy, tearful or vicious, rapid-fire with staccato syllables or sustained in curlicued melismas. But she was in constant motion, strutting in costumes."[59] In Los Angeles, Beyonc performed the song, dressed in a glittering silver dress with mink fur. It was executed without any backup dancers, and live instrumentation.[60] Jim Farber of Daily News noted that during the performance of the song at the I Am... World Tour, Beyonc blended her alter ego Sasha Fierce's potent and her own pained personality and added that "those two emotions made this Beyonc's greatest live moment"[61] When Beyonc performed the song in Sunrise, Florida, on June 29, 2009, she was wearing a glittery gold leotard. As she sang, animated graphics of turntables, faders and other club equipment were projected behind Beyonc, her dancers and musicians.[62] Beyonc was accompanied by her two drummers, two keyboardists, a percussionist, a horn section, three imposing backup vocalists called the Mamas and a lead guitarist, Bibi McGill.[63] "Listen" was included as on her live albums The Beyonc Experience Live (2007),[64] and the I Am... World Tour (2010).[65]

A modified version of "Listen", with new lyrics by Willie Reale,[66] was added to the song score of the 2009 touring revival of the stage version of Dreamgirls.[67] This version presents the song as a duet between the characters Deena and Effie, as Effie explains to Deena that she must leave Curtis and gives her advice on how to find her independence.[66] The revised version of the stage musical, and the new version of "Listen", debuted at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York on November 22, 2009.[68]

She also sang "Listen" during the finals on December 21, 2011.[78][79] A writer of Fox News Channel commented that the judges "didn't want to stop listening to Melanie Amaro" while she was singing a "soaring rendition" of the ballad.[80] Simon Cowell said, "I brought this show to America because I believe some of the greatest singers in the world are from this country, and you just proved that. I think you, based on that performance tonight, to me, should be the winner of 'The X Factor,' because you're going to represent this country all over the world."[79] L.A. Reid also commented, "That wasn't a $5 million performance. That was a $50 million performance."[80] Sarah Maloy of Billboard magazine felt that her performance was "as powerfully and passionately [sang] as she did the first time".[78] Lisa de Moraes of The Washington Post praised Amaro's rendition, writing that it contained a "determined look on her face, lots of generous spreading of the arms, and plenty of big notes".[81] Amaro eventually emerged as the winner of The X Factor, performing this song for the final time.[82]

Has anyone else listened to Beyonc music while high? I find that it generally makes any instrumentation sound way more immersive, and with all the high-quality, layered production that Beyonc gravitates towards, some of her songs have felt like an otherworldly experience when experienced through the weed lens. Bonus points if you're using her Renaissance rolling tray. ?

What better way to celebrate a decorated career than with a massive tour? Pop stars from all corners of the genre commemorated their many years (or in some cases, decades) in the music industry by going down memory lane with their fans worldwide.

But Swift wasn't the only star celebrating their music milestones on the road. After a thrilling reunion in 2019, the Jonas Brothers continued to shock fans with what's possibly the most challenging tour of their career. Titled "Five Albums. One Night. The World Tour," the trio featured their entire discography in a set list that included over 60 songs.

While music has long been a driving force in films, this year saw the pairing excitedly take over pop culture. Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie notably had the world seeing pink, with the iconic doll infiltrating everything from fashion to real estate.

The year also called for reunions and revivals, with the biggest shock arguably belonging to NSYNC. Many fans were impatiently waiting for the boys to make a return, and they did so with "Better Place." The Trolls soundtrack highlight marked the boy band's first song after a two-decade-long music hiatus (which was accompanied by an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they presented with Best Pop Video). Under the sea, Halle Bailey refreshed a Disney classic with The Little Mermaid live-action reimagining, while the nostalgia train continued with movie musicals Wonka and Mean Girls (out in January). 2351a5e196
