Song of the Day: Two versions of "If I Were a Boy"
Published on May 7, 2012 12:36PM
No one can sing a hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-woman-scorned song like Reba McEntire, who blew George Strait off the stage last summer when they performed last summer in Utah.
Her cover of Beyonce's "If Were A Boy" shows off her unbeatable interpretive gifts (though the musical backing is a little too slick for my tastes). Just enjoy the voice:
