View More By Beyoncé Our ReviewLike so many artists before her, Beyoncé has designed an album that reflects a dual personality. The first side (I Am…) demonstrates her vulnerability, while the second half, named for Beyoncé’s superstar alterego Sasha Fierce, exudes attitude and assertiveness. From the first set, “If I Were a Boy” and “Disappear” are acoustic downtempo tunes that follow in the mold of Beyoncé’s smash hit “Irreplaceable.” On the opposite end of the spectrum, her larger-than-life voice is perfectly suited to the sonic enormity and melodrama of “Halo,” even if the song is a blatant retread of Rihanna’s “Umbrella.” Although Beyoncé sometimes suffers from a desire to do too much at once, she is one of the few performers who can swiftly shift from a song like “Ave Maria” (which subtly matches the ancient melody to a gentle drum track) to the booty-shaking uproar of “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” She even has enough sass and swagger to pull off the fearsome throb of “Diva,” a fearsome track that would usually go to a mean-eyed rapper like Young Jeezy. Even if Sasha Fierce forgoes the vintage soul that elevated past tracks “Crazy In Love” and “Déjà Vu,” the album accomplishes Beyonce’s goal of showcasing a diverse set of talents.. Customer ReviewsBeyonce is leagues better than 'Sasha Fierce' (3 stars)In her first solo album since 2006’s B’Day, R&B queen Beyoncé unleashes her alter-ego Sasha Fierce in the appropriately titled ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce.’ The double-disc marks a groundbreaking redefinition of the singer’s approach in recording music. Many perceive this double-disc approach displaying the two extremes of Beyoncé’s talent to be more of a gimmick than an experimentation. They are right, as this album would have b Beyoncé’s BEST..!!!! (5 stars) Beyoncé formally introduces the world to her alter ego Sasha Fierce and opens up about her personal life. “I am…Sasha Fierce” is a double album that separates Beyoncé’s personality from her alter ego’s. The two disc are very different from each other and offers a wide variety of music in one album! The first disc, “I am…” is filled with heavy ballads and mid-tempos. The sound of this album is similar to that of folk music A True Diva (5 stars) How is it possible for us not to recognize that this lady has had 3 solo cds and never settled into a comfort zone? Each CD has been a testament on its own. A testament to the fact that she not only has a good ear for what she can do, but she sees no reason to settle into Rock, Pop or R&B commonalities. Her last CD was not well received for the first week or so, then it took off. This CD is very complete, a tour de force.
