This unreleased material is real. You can find it everywhere. We must put it back in the page and ameliorate to avoid further deletion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BritandBeyonce (talk • contribs) 00:51, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

this album is not self made Noboyo! if it was then why would there be thousands of webpages around the net in hundreds of langauges with the same album cover, the same tracklisting, the same everything? its real and unreleased so stop deleting it!

Noboyo

The cover is self-made, the tracklist is self-made ... it's a fan-made album ... - Noboyo

Ratizi

Self-made by who? if you google image search Speak My Mind you will see the cover everywhere and text searches will show you album info. i only updated the picture to a better version i found. proof here:

and this just barely scratches the surface. keep in mind it was never released so the album would only be available as a bootleg or downloads.

if it makes you happy i will remove the chronology line because it was never released but i think completely deleting the article would be pointless to people who've read about it. so please just leave it as is.

Noboyo

You'll neither find the album on official (and legal) sites like amazaon.com. The album is also not listed on Beyoncé's official site ... - Noboyo

Ratizi

because it was never released. it is real though. you act as if you've never heard of a never released album like Power of The Dollar by 50 cent.

Noboyo

The album contains of singles, remixes, soundtracks, and mixtape stuff ... how can it be considered as an official but unreleased album???

Ratizi

It's just a colection of songs like a remix album or a greatist hits album. Her record company wanted fans to hear those songs as well and the album was not expected to sell millions but the reason why it was unreleased is because of the upcoming #1's album by destiny's child. at this point "Check On It" was already recieving some airplay so they put it on that album instead so it could make sales.

Noboyo

Post any "official source", containing information about the words you just wrote, and I won't revert ...

Ratizi

i'm looking for it.

edit: i found an official site with the album where it lets you play the songs.

http://www.bala.com.cn/disc/discinfo.html?aid=35648

- this link goes nowhere ... (I mean pages with information about the album ... no snippets to listen to)

you have to hit the green arrows. look im not gonna have this arguement with you. if you delete this page on the english wikipedia why not on the other languages? this article was already here when i found it just like it was on the other international wikis.

Sourcing query

Not that I enjoy interrupting an edit war, but should this article even exist? Is there actual reliable sourcing to document this unreleased album? Seems like an unreleased album would have to be pretty darn notable and well-publicized to actually merit an article. As of right now, I would take this to AfD based on the available informaion, were this not protected. GassyGuy 06:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This album is fanmade

it's fan made the intro is from like an interview or something it's all jsut leftover shit. Columbia considered an immediate followup to Dangerously in Love but they scrapped it and didn't put it together or make a cover and shit. It's fake get over it. Also i would like to point out the name is misspelled her name is Beyoncé not Beyonce she always puts the accent mark.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by BlowMeAway (talk • contribs) 07:18, 27 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

First of all, I had no idea that this would create the controversy it did. I posted it because I realized that an album had been put together, and that I had read that Columbia had been planning on releasing a second album from Beyonce before B'Day. That's why I posted this. Sorry if I caused any major headaches. Thanks to whoever updated it, because my wording wasn't so good, and I was unaware of the various tracklistings. Oh and to whoever wrote the above comment, the accent over the "e" in Beyoncé is clearly visible on the cover. Bulldoggie101 16:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the one who has been constantly updating this page while others delete it. Ratizi 18:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I really appreciate it. It is the first article I started, and researched, so I'm glad that it is still around. Bulldoggie101 07:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
