Beyoncé - 4

Beyoncé’s fourth studio album titled “4” has some of the best and the most questionable aspects in terms of design and packaging. Learn more at http://wordshutter.blogspot.com/2011/08/beyonce-4.html

Beyoncé - I am… Sasha Fierce (Platinum Edition)

“All the single ladies!! All the single ladies!!”

Okay. I know this is a really weird time to be posting this album because this album was released like in 2008 (2 years ago?) but it had never occurred to me that I will get this album anyway.

Well, the reason why I decided to get Beyoncé’s “I am… Sasha Fierce” is because yesterday, I was watching “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2” and the Chipettes were singing “Single ladies” and it was so ADORABLE!!

So I decided to get this album. :P

Well, if that’s not a good enough reason, Beyoncé is gorgeous! Not to mention, she looks a bit like Tyra Banks~ And she had performed on the Tyra Banks Show before as well!

Anyway, one more album into my collection isn’t going to do much harm now, would it?

I was lucky to find the Platinum Edition at Hougang Mall; the worst place to shop for CDs after Sembawang Music Centre went under. Was unable to find it yesterday at Causeway Point but at least I didn’t give up! From my understanding, this album’s regular edition comes in 2 CDs but the Platinum Edition comes in a single CD (20 tracks) plus a DVD~ Lucky!!

Well, it’s a pity that this picture isn’t used as the cover because it’s so much more fierce!! Nice use of colors as well~ I was never a huge fan of Beyoncé for all sorts of reasons (e.g. Because I don’t really listen to the radio for new songs, I don’t catch up with the English music industry, etc). But that’s not to say I don’t know she didn’t exist~ 

More gorgeous Beyoncés!! I think another influencing factor to make me buy this album is because Ying Ying used to sing “If I were a Man” at K-box and I found the lyrics and melody captivating, though it was not enough to make me buy the album. But eventually, I still did because until today, the song is still beautiful.

The lyric booklet is filled with more pictures of this fierce woman. Unlike some of singers, Beyoncé features some of her lyrics in her lyric booklet (HEY! That’s the main purpose of the booklet, no?) though not all the lyrics are inside. I suppose those songs which make more sense have their lyrics featured. So that means that “Single Ladies” is quite a “brainless” but nice song? :)

In case you want to know how my growing collection looks like so far, it actually still looks the same, just that I’ve had to cramp even more stuff, like stacking CDs over DVDs, in between to maximize the space. The arrangement is all over the place though because I haven’t got time to reorganize everything. Come October, I might do a full photoshoot of all my CDs all over again!

Sampling “I am… Sasha Fierce” right now and I actually like it so far. The vocals of Beyoncé is known to be one of the strongest and this album really proves that to me. This proves to be a good buy~ Maybe if I have the time after blogging this entry, I shall watch the DVD.

Going back to camp later at night at around 7:55pm. Hopefully next week won’t be torturous because I really want to recover from my cold/flu because falling ill now is just terribly inconvenience since remedial training is about to start. I don’t want to sacrifice my Saturday mornings to training!! :(

Just have to walk this portion of the runway of life fiercely…~ :)
