New song: Beyonce - Grown Woman Review

The song is finally out, it's 5 minutes so I don't know if it's the unedited version so will see.

Honestly, I heard the song on her Pepsi advert like everyone else I loved it, I played those 30 seconds like 100times but that was a couple of months ago and now the full thing is out and here I am really excited...And hear it and........

It's the same song but just doesn't have the same momentum as the advert and I just feel like something is missing...Honestly, I love Beyoncé but this song is alright at best...not her best....Let's hope it's not a single and even if it is. I know the video will be amazing and maybe I will like the song a bit more but for now...It's pretty lame.

I do also have to add, I liked the African influence but it's like "Run the world, girls," that really wasn't a good song...

Peep the full song below and make up your own opinions:

Etta James Dies Aged 73

We have lost another talented singer. 

Etta James died at the age of 73 of complications from leukaemia and she will be missed. Her music will live on forever and generations will come and they will also enjoy her timeless music. One of my favourite songs by Etta James is "At last." That is a beautiful song and I also like "I'd rather go blind."

Beyonce who played cardillac records a great film about Etta James said this about her death.

“This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed.” 

Rest in Peace Etta, you will be missed

Beyonce- 4 Album Review

RATE: ★★★★★

Songs: 13

Artist: Beyonce Knowles

So after seeing her Glastonbury performance and I liked some of her news songs so I thought I would go and buy her album “4.” So here is the review.

1) 1+1 – This song is a beautiful love song and I like it.

2) I care- I really like this song, it grows on you.

3) I miss you- Another good song, I really like her voice and the different ranges it goes into and the beat as well. Good song

4) Best thing I never had- One of my favourites because if you have ever had a crash and that person shut you down, you can so relate to this song because it was truly the best thing I never had. Also her voice sounds amazing and it’s a good to sing along to.

5)Party- This is probably my favourite or one of my favourite songs on this album, I love the slow jam/ 90’s Rnb kind of feel to it that it has…I have had this on reply for some time and it never gets old.

6) Rather die young- This is probably the worst song in the album for me, but that’s just me.

7) Start over- I like this song, I can relate to it and the lyrics and the messages on this is so strong like her voice on this song. Good song.

8) Love On top- This is also one of my favourite songs and I love it because it will make you dance, it’s such an upbeat, groovy, soulful song.

9) Countdown- Not really feeling this song, it’s upbeat but I don’t really like it. It has a bit of a reggae feel to it.

10) End of time- Probably the best dance track in this album in my opinion, love this song.

11) I was here- Best balled in this album hands down, it is really emotional but a good song as well.

12) Run this world (Girls)- Honestly this should not have been her first single because there are so many better songs in this album but it’s not a bad song, sometimes I find myself dancing to it.

All in all I would have to say it is an amazing album and to follow up I am Sasha fierce is very hard because that was an all-round great album but I really like the route that Beyoncé took with this album because it’s not a pop/dance/techno album it’s more about ballads, Rnb and soul album. Also her voice and the lyrics are amazing and it’s a solid album that I feel I will still be listening to in ten years’ time, she really took a risk because the music now is about dance music and auto tune, which I think is horrible but people still buy it. It’s like she went back ten/ twenty years’ time and made a heartfelt/ meaningful and beautiful album, which is very rare.

Would I recommend it?? Yes, I would recommend it but if you are looking for dance/techno songs then this album is not for you…but otherwise GET IT.

Beyonce Headlining Glastonbury 2011 Review

Hate her or love her I feel like if anyone actually sat down and watched her perform they would have been blown away like I was. I would have to say this is her best performance ever.

There was some dancing which was on point through-out and she was wearing heels, like it's hard for some people to even walk in heels but she was dancing and everything for almost two hours. Also her singing was amazing, especially when she sang halo, 1+1 and the best I never had.

Now a days it's very rare to see a person actually sing live with a live band, without auto tune and is not lip-singing. It is very rare and also you could see the raw emotions and how energetic she was because I would be so tired but her drive, energy and passion was amazing and on top.

In my opinion she is the nearest performer to even touch what MJ was like. It was amazing because there were moments when you were like WOW. It was crazy.

One of my favourite moments:

Beyonce- Run The World (Girls) Official video review

First off I wanna talk about the song...It's not her best...I liked pon de floor but the lyrics on this song im not feeling aswell...I don't know...Even though I don't like the song I think it has a great message that empowers women. That is something Beyonce has always done, she does songs that empower women and not degrade them, e.g. independent women, single ladies, bills bills bills and so on.

But I have just seen the video and it's been on replay...I love the video. The dancing is amazing...I love how she brought a bit of african culture into it...What I love about this is you know she gives it 1000% and her drive and hard-works shows thats why she's still doing her thing to this day...She doesn't need to dye her hair red, kiss a girl or even sing about religion to make her music good...She just shows her talent...People think sells = talent...nooo...No other female artist can touch Beyonce...she's just amazing...
