Katharine McPhee's iTunes Playlist, Beyonce's IRREPLACEABLE-says the Idol r-u: "I saw Beyonce live. I loved the 'to the left, to the left'"

Track #1 on the Katharine McPhee iTunes Celebrity Playlist is "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce.

Katharine exclaims: "I saw Beyonce perform this live. I love how the song makes everyone sing 'to the left, to the left' while doing the hand movements. Besides that, it's a pretty empowering song."

iTunes has its own review of the song:
"Glamour girl Beyonce busts out. She has certainly had her funky moments-need we even mention "Crazy In Love"?--but until B'Day, she's never laid so many of them end to end. With producers Rodney Jerkins and Rich Harrison (who hooked up with both "Crazy" and Amerie's " 1 Thing with vintage funk-soul samples), B'day has the superstar trying on one street-style after another--and they all fit. Whether a thumping chant with clipped delivery ("Get Me Bodied") or a playful duet with "friend" Jay-Z ("Upgrade U," which posits Beyonce competition for Mary J. Blige in the no-nonnsense sweepstakes), she handles the material with aplomb: These may be her best, most assured performances. Even the two ballads ("Irreplaceable," with its step team hook, and "Resentment,' which draws heavily on Curtis Mayfield's "Think") feel like they have dirt on them. Beyonce wears it well."

At this writing there are over 1,600 "Customer Reviews" of 'B'day' at iTunes, which contains the song Irreplaceable.
