If I Were A Boy Beyonce |
| As far as pop stars go, Beyoncé can be granted supernova status; enjoying a never ending period of constant expansion. Maybe that's why she now feels obliged to introduce an alter ego and name her imminent double CD "I am Sasha Fierce" after it. The album is supposed to show two opposite artistic sides: with Beyoncé focusing on the mellower, ballad-singing, aspect of her personality and Sasha showing the, eerm, fiercer, sophisticated dancey glamour. "If I Were A Boy" belongs to the old-fashioned former and, on paper, it sounded like a female answer to Prince's gender bender classic "If I Was Your Girlfriend." But despite the promising premise, its rather dull lyrics,never far away from cliché land, are nothing like the purple genius' spicy machinations. Drinking bear, chasing girls and trying to understand how a woman feels to become a better man it's all the Destiny's Child would like to do if she was indeed a boy. Ballads have never been Beyoncé's forte, so it doesn't take much thought to guess which side we're likely to prefer. Bring on Sasha Fierce!! | |
