Beyonce

I just bought the new Beyonce CD "I Am... Sasha Fierce". If you think I'm behind the times with this you should know that I don't really listen to a lot of rap or pop unless I'm about to dance to it, and then I'm more worried about looking dumb.

I've been really digging Beyonce lately though, so I shelled out for the album. If you don't already know the record is split into two discs (silver and gold) with different feels to them. The "I am..." disc has the slower and more heart-felt songs while the "Sasha Fierce" one has the dancy... fierce stuff. Not all of the songs were shining stars, but the whole thing was pretty solid. There was a kind of gender-bending undertone, with "If I Were a Boy", "a diva is a female version of a hustler" and the intro to "Video Phone" that was really intriguing. Anyway the album is worth buying, and if not you should at least watch the video for "Single Ladies" at least five times. Srsly.
