Reba Covers Beyonce's 'If I Were a Boy'

Amazon

While Reba's upcoming album is entitled 'All the Women I Am,' she's been tackling the opposite sex's perspective with a cover of Beyoncé's 'If I Were a Boy.' Reba's countrified version of the hit song will appear on her new CD, due in stores November 9.

This isn't the first time a Beyoncé-penned tune has become a country crossover. Sugarland covered her infectious hit, 'Irreplaceable,' on their 'Live on the Inside' album, and Beyoncé even performed the song with the duo on the 2007 American Music Awards.

This also isn't the first time Reba has transformed a pop hit to her country tastes. The 2007 release, 'Reba Duets,' included a version of 'Because of You,' which she recorded with the tune's original singer, Kelly Clarkson. The collaboration made it to No. 3 on the charts and earned the pair a CMA nomination for Musical Event of the Year and an ACM nomination for Vocal Event of the Year.

'All the Women I Am' is the Queen of Country's 34th career album and also includes her current single, 'Turn on the Radio.' To date, she has sold more than 55 million albums and has charted 30 No. 1 hits.

Reba is currently on the road with George Strait and Lee Ann Womack, with their next show October 2 in Mobile, Ala. Check out her full tour schedule here.

Watch Reba perform 'If I Were a Boy' on CMT's 'Unplugged' below.

To Hello Beautiful and magknicksfan- apparently you guys don't understand what it means by "cover". Your saying it sounds just like beyonce's version......Reba has to be the "countriest" country artists-EVER. beyonce was pop/r&b, so it really doesn't sound like hers. If that's the case, then Whitney could've changed the words a little to Dolly's "I Will Always Love You". Face it, Reba did that song a favor, and she crushed those blonde tarts at the CMA's..........even Billboard ranked her as the #1 performance you shouldn't have missed for that show.

I love the cover more than the original! I think Reba sang this song way better than beyonce, and I can't wait to get it! it just seemed more powerful when Reba sang it.

She could of atleast changed some of the words, two people do not need to sing the same song.
