One of Australia’s most successful songwriters could soon hear her words sung by Britney or Pink with both performers currently considering a few of her tunes. But it’s Beyoncé she’s really chasing. “Beyoncé! She’s my queen. Now that I’ve written for Christina, and I hope I keep writing for her because she’s a f**king powerhouse, but Beyoncé is my queen.”

Country music veteran Reba McEntire says before she covered the Beyonce chart-topper If I Were A Boy, she didn’t really know the tune.  “When I got the song and the lyrics, I thought it was an incredible song,” said McEntire, on the line from Minneapolis before a short swing through Western Canada, including a show Friday night at Edmonton’s Rexall Place.  “And, to me, it turned out to be a country song, when we got our instrumentation on it and everything. And some people go, ‘Well, why in the world would you do a pop song?’ I just think music is music. You’ve got good and you’ve got bad, and I try to stay on the good side.” McEntire first recorded If I Were A Boy for CMT’s Unplugged Sessions back in May, and the success of it led to her recording a whole new album. “We did it and it went viral, and so we thought, ‘We’re going to quit the Keep On Loving You album (from 2009) and start a new album.’

There are a few good ones about, but not many. Beyoncé is a class act, Pink is amazing and Amy Winehouse has it all – the voice, the attitude – but she needs to get a few more albums under her belt. I don’t even know whether to believe all the hype about the drugs; I just think, “Get out and record a bloody album.” I’ve done seven in the past nine years. Recording is so simple these days. It used to be a week getting a drum sound; now you can do it down the phone.
