I caught the opening night of Beyonce's I Am Sasha Fierce tour. I was so excited because it started with an absolute bang, "Crazy in Love", with special guest Jay Z, right into Freakum' Dress, followed by Get me Bodied, which was fitting since those 2 songs sound exactly alike. Thennnnnnnn......boom, absolute snore bomb.....Too many damn slow songs! It was already past my bedtime, and this chick started singing about 6 lullabys in a row...WHAT? After a high octane opening, the show came to a screeching halt, like an inappropriate joke at a funeral, like a red light on a highway, like a virgin...well, not so much. I even thought we were taking part in dog adoptions, when the diva started covering Sarah Mclachlan's Arms of an angel .
A great moment in the show came when Beyonce performed her hit If I Were A Boy, and incorporated it with Alanis Morrisette's You Oughta Know...HOT! However, the moment was lost on me when Beyonce hit the stage dressed like Randy Macho Man Savage with a ridiculous over sized WWE wrestling belt around her waist. There were a few loose ends that went over my head, such as the moment when 3 obese women hit the stage for no apparent reason. I wasn't sure if they were the Pointer Sisters, or "the models" as they kept repeating...strange moment, but if they were the Pointer Sisters...thank goodness they didn't sing Jump!
At one point I feared for Beyonce's safety....no it wasn't when she flew through the air, but when she was singing Etta James' song At Last....um, didn't Etta say she would put her foot in Bey's a** for singing her song?
Ahhhh, the ending was much like the beginning, full of energy and everyone on their feet, which made me realize ....Beyonce really doesn't have that many hits. The "#1 Diva in The Game" performed for less than 2 hours...call me crazy, but Janet is 40+, and performed 3 hours....which raises the question..Is 40 really the new 20?Great show, fun time, "That's What She Said"
