Halo

by Beyoncé: Traditionally, I was not a Beyoncé fan as she turned Destiny’s Child to Beyoncé and Friends. However, with each solo album that she releases I like her music more and more. My good friend over at hair-sugar sent me the link to this video earlier, and I tell you it broke me down! I heard the track on Bey’s album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, and I liked it, but I believe the video takes the lyrics to a new level! Everytime I watch this video it makes me cry.  The first time I watched it was at work and it had me with tears pouring by 1:37 in! The video reminds of the relationship between my boyfriend and I and is such a great depiction of love, friendship, admiration, and respect. If I wanted to put my two cents in I would suggest the chemistry between Michael Ealy and Bey is amazing. I couldn’t even imagine Jay Z in this video, and I definitely don’t envision him as the sensitive supportive husband type. If you are a female, sensitive in the least bit, and madly in love – I would say you need a tissue before watching ;) She also released the video for Diva, but I felt this track was worthy of a solo post!

I Am…Sasha Fierce

by Beyoncé: I’ve debated posting this because I have never been the biggest Bey fan. Now, I love her music and home girl is a fierce dancer but as a person she has always posed several questions in my head like…why was it necessary to kick Kelly and Latavia out of the original Destiny’s Child to make Beyonce and Friends with Kelly and Michelle. I have a little more respect for her as a solo artist because that is what she wanted from the beginning. Anyways…time for the music. I have had this album for a week now and today was the first day I listened to I Am… because Sasha Fierce is that hot! Let me break it down for those who may not have the album. Beyonce’s two dic album, I Am…Sasha Fierce, was released this Tuesday. I Am features mostly ballads and the tracks are calm. I also think Beyonce has tapped into some new genres with I Am. I wouldn’t expect a few of these tracks from her, such as Disappear, but I really like the songs. I do not necessarily like every track on I Am, but that is when I click through to Sasha Fierce which features the more upbeat club bangers. BOMB from beginning to end. I’m jamming at work singing “I’m in love with my radio” and “I’m a Diva best believe”….It is hard for me to choose a favorite song and I would have to say it is a tie between Sweet Dreams or Hello. Then again, depending on how I’m feeling my favorite track may be Diva. I obviously can’t pick a song as my favorite to play a video below. However, I have been watching this fierce video for the last week. All I can say is I need to call him for dance lessons!
