I didnt realize how much I liked this song until it came on today and I started singing eventhough I think this was a HORRIBLE single choice. It has a very feel good vibe to it. Too muuch Beyonce is on this song though but its cool.

They are right up there for my all time favorite music artist, but this is one of my least favorite of their songs. I just find it so boring, and it was a horrible single choice.

I listened to this one earlier today. I forgot how much fun this song was. It wasn't a great song, but it was better than some of what was on the album. I loved Junior Vasquez's remix of it though.

Cute song. Horrible single choice. I was dumbfounded when they announced this and knew it wouldn't do well.
Destiny Fulfilled is easily my favorite DC album. Their other albums dated really badly.

I thought the label was going to go with "Cater 2 U" since that song was getting major airplay, at least in Atlanta. At the time, it seemed like when an album track gets airplay, it ends up becoming a single months later (i.e. Alicia Keys' "Diary"). As for "Girl", it's pretty chill and laid back. Michelle's bridge is the best part.

Love the song.....but the video  . Has got to be one of the most cringe worthy music videos in history. Beyonce counting on her fingers...wiping tears from Kelly's face...the acting in general....Just  |

 @ Beyonce counting on her fingers. That part kills me. This song is decent. I don't think it was a good single choice though. One of my least favorite singles from them. |

Just curious, why did everyone think this was a bad single choice? Back then, it felt like the obvious choice to me. I don't think there was anything else on the album that screamed "smash". Through With Love is a better song than Girl but I don't think that would have smashed either.

Well this was released as the 3rd single, before 'Cater 2 U' which was the obvious hit ballad on the album. And as a matter of fact 'Girl' performed poorly compared to 'Cater 2 U' which released as the 4th single had a bigger impact. |

"Girl" was released in spring 2005, and "Cater 2 U" was released summer 2005. "Cater 2 U" went #1 at Urban even after "Girl" underperformed.

It's not good at all, but add me to this list of people who wrung some enjoyment out of it because of its unintentional hilarity.

I loved "Girl" 2 DEATH. I remember everyone here on Pulse slitting their wrists when it was a single back then. |

Girl I've been knowin' you since you were ten,
you cannot hide from your friends at Beyonce counting on her fingers a literal representation of the number ten. Mess. Cater 2 U and Bad Habit deserved to be singles before this was chosen. Lord's Vessel Michelle came through in the clutch and saved it with that bridge since that seemed to be the only section she got throughout the entire album. If they contractually had to release a 9th Wonder song, I would've released the superior Is She the Reason. That song was screaming for female rap verses to join along.

Easily my favorite! I disagree with everyone else saying that it's a bad single choice. I love the song.
