I AM SASHA FIERCE

I usually avoid trashing Beyonce because she's so loved in the music industry. I know if I ever said anything too mean about her then I'd be known as the Beyonce hater and I don't want that. But there's no way I can think of something nice to say about this horrible cd. I Am damn near put me to sleep and it's not because it's all soft slow songs either. We all know Beyonce can murder the hell out of power ballad. Dangerously in Love and Flaws and All are two of the most beautiful slow songs I've ever heard. All the songs on I Am are just bland and boring. I expected I would like Sasha Fierce more because I'm so in love with the song Single Ladies. I did like Sasha Fierce more but not much more. Beyonce took a crack at the techno infused pop that Rihanna made ever so popular. It doesn't suit her. I give her props for finally trying something new though. She also has a song that's sung over the beat of Lil Wayne's a Milli. Anyone who knows me knows that it annoys the living shit out of me when Beyonce tries to act hard. It's just not convincing at all and it makes her look like a poser. She has about as much street cred as one of those spoiled sweet 16 chicks from mtv and no being married to Jay Z doesn't help her any in that department. If anything it makes Jay looks more sophisitcated and upscale but it doesn't make Beyonce look any more street. This album was a huge disappointment and it seems to me like it was hastily made which is wierd because I heard on the radio it took her a year to make. If that's the case then maybe she should've rushed it a little more because Dangerously in Love and B'Day were made in a shorter amount of time and they were soooo much better. I was able to listen to them straight through and like every song. But out of the 12 songs on I Am Sasha Fierce I only like 3 and one of them is already a single. Usually I'd post my favorite song at this point but since I have no favorite song I'll post the ones I thought were most interesting. Off of I Am I chose Ave Maria because her voice sounds angelic.

And off of Sasha fierce I chose Sweet Dreams because it was interesting to see Beyonce try something different.
