Beyoncé proves why she is dominating the music industry

By LINDSEY KASTNING

Beyoncé is back with more attitude and class than ever before with the new release of her concept album “I Am…Sasha Fierce.”

The former Destiny’s Child singer’s voice sounds stronger than ever on her opening track “If I Were a Boy.” In this sweet-spirited song, Beyoncé belts it out about how if she were a boy she would become the greatest guy ever and take care of women the way they were meant to be taken care of.

With the track “Broken Hearted-Girl,” Beyoncé’s tune closely resembles Rihanna’s “Unfaithful” in vocal-sound and musical style. Her passion leaps from the speakers as the heavy downbeats in the tune emphasize her message of wanting to be a strong woman.

After hearing Knowles’ rendition of “Ave Maria,” she might seriously want to consider singing more religious songs. Although the tune is far from the popular religious version, Beyoncé sings angelically, paying tribute to the power behind the words of the original, but adding some pop-culture spice.

Although, at first, it is difficult to understand the words to the tune “Diva,” the singer pours out every drop of her pop star attitude to prove that she’s all woman through this quick tempo song. She makes the point that she is more than just a singer, she’s a lady who knows she has what it takes to keep her spot at the top of the music industry.

“I Am…Sasha Fierce” proves that Beyoncé’s ferocity has made its mark and will not quickly fade from listeners’ ears.
