Beyonce has revealed plans to record an album of country music, according to reports. Knowles was reportedly so pleased with her performance alongside country band Sugarland at the American Music Awards that she plans to ditch her traditional R’n'B style on her new LP. The singer sang a re-worked version of her hit ‘Irreplaceable’ at the award ceremony at the weekend. And she has reportedly enlisted the help of award winning singer/songwriter Amanda Ghost - the creative force behind James Blunt’s hit ‘You’re Beautiful’ - for the project.

A source close to the popstar has been quoted as saying: ‘Beyonce wants to try something completely different. She is a big fan of country music and thought that would be an interesting and exciting way to go. She contacted Amanda early this week and she is going over to work with her on it. She also tested the waters at the American Music Awards last weekend and she is up for it.’

Thousands of fans filled the Bonifacio Open Field for Beyonce Knowles’ one night concert Wednesday night. The concert is part of Beyonce’s world tour which will include Seoul, South Korea and Taipei, Taiwan. Security arrangements were tight with the police deploying a huge number of officers to ensure safety in the area. Bonifacio Open Field is located in the middle of Global City, a rising metropolis that used to be military camp formerly known as Fort Bonifacio. Among the screaming fans were local movie stars, models, singers, actors and television hosts. The two-hour concert featured Beyonce’s songs from her group Destiny Child, her albums as solo artist and theme songs from the movie ‘Dream Girls.’ The 70,000 fans went nuts when Beyonce sang ‘Crazy in Love’ in her opening number and closed down the show with the song ‘Irreplaceable.’

Beyonce is planning to switch musical direction on her third solo album. The singer is reportedly prepared to ditch her usual heavy R’n'B for a more dancefloor-orientated LP. The former Destiny’s Child star has hired Brighton dance act Freemasons to work on some tracks for the record. Freemasons’ James Wiltshire told the Daily Star: ‘The album is going to be huge. It will rival anything the likes of Britney and Rihanna have done recently. Beyonce and her team can see where mistakes were made on the last album. It was very American, very R’n'B and stripped back. They want to go for a more international sound this time.’

James and bandmate Russell Small, both 32, got the call from Bey’s peeps after they did the official remixes of her hits Deja Vu and Beautiful Liar. James explained: ‘Her management have been in almost daily contact with us ever since. It is exciting getting to work on a new tune for her, as we get to be really creative.’ He added: ‘We were asked to do the remix of Britney’s Gimme More and to work on Donna Summer’s new album, but we put them both on hold to work with Beyonce. Normally big stars don’t take any notice of smaller acts like us. So her decision shows just where she is going with this album. Beyonce is very clever when it comes to promoting her music. She wants to hit as many audiences as possible.’
