I’m with Afreekah on this one. I totally understand the Sasha Fierce thing but alter ego does not equal repetition. The video is just a little too sexual to be considered “good”. Seems like absolutely no thought was put into that video or lyrics. We understand she has a body…ok…now do something actually FIERCE!! She cool as a “pop singer” but top of the game…not so much.

I’m with you 100% Mika. I never understood all the Beyonce haters. The woman is ON TOP of the game right now. She can sing, dance, and put on a real performance. There really is no one else right now that can do what she does. I think everyone gets blind-sided by clothes and videos, which of course make a major impact, but are still the preverbial “smoke and mirrors.”
Africa, Rihanna is a style icon right now, indisputable; Beyonce is not. But at the end of the day if you put her, Kerri Hilson, and Rihanna in one concert, who’s actual TALENT do you think will shine, and who’s stage presence will make you wanna check your Twitter updates…? (Real talk, I’ve seen all 3 perform live.)

I agree with you but at the same time disagree. It’s all good that she has an alter ego Sasha Fierce whose lyrics are a little wack (my opinion) I didn’t personally like this album at all. Her last album B-Day had songs that you could say were similar to what the Sasha Fierce portrays but she had innovative videos to match……the last 4 Sasha Fierce videos look the same with just a wardrobe change. I think she is getting too comfortable that’s all, she needs to step her game up to stay on top or Rihanna definitely gonna take that top spot.
