Beyonce (I am.... Sasha Fierce)


Beyonce has once again topped the charts in both music and music videos.  Her recently released album that came out this past week pushed many other anticipated albums to the side to claim the coveted top 40 spotlight. 
Beyonce has 3 songs on the top 100 playlist, she also has 2 music videos in the top 10 purchased on itunes currently. 
Beyonce is not a new thing to the spotlight.  She may be the most popular, and best female vocalists right now.  Her extravagant voice range claims the ears of listeners no matter what your favorite music genre is. 

Her music does give me reservations however.  I was actually unable to put a picture of her newest album on this post due to the fact that she usually has no problem bearing quite a bit of skin on the album covers and this one is no exception.  You know, I used to have nightmares about going somewhere half naked (like all of you have) Beyonce has apparently conquered that fear and has moved on to something even more terrifying.  

Lets face it Beyonce sells sex just as much as music.  She has no problem playing on the minds of impressionable listeners/watchers.  She is classier (odd but true) than most of her competitors but that is a standard not coveted by most anyone who has a decent moral standard.
If you want to listen to her music and watch her videos I can't stop you.  But I can warn you about what you may be taking in as a result of your favorite artists attitude / lyrics/ suggestive behavior. 
If you think I'm way off with this suggestion, and have misjudged this particular artist please tell me about it.  We will talk it out. 
As for now, I would have to say this is one you probably shouldn't buy.
