Deja Vu?


Remember Grammy Night 2004? [I know you probably don't cause very few people who aren't paid to care about them do, especially those in my age bracket, but just pretend with me aight?]Remember how the clock struck eight and we were all on the edge of our seats waiting to see how the show would open? And then remember how orgasmic our emotions and bodies became when the lavish scenic view of the Staples Center made its way to the stage and there before us stood Beyonce Knowles and the Purple One. Yes, Prince was back on top and as was the case with Sheila E., Carmen Electra, Appleonia, and Vanity 6 before her, Beyonce was playing muse 2 the pharoah and that shit was exciting. Seemed everyone was partying like it was 1999 up on that stage.

Yeah, seemed. You know outside of her movie roles Beyonce can be quite the performer and actress and word on the street is she is not too pleased with her performance with the purple one. Looking back on it Beyonce sees her inner persona "Sasha" front and center taking control, hogging the microphone like it was her job. At digitalspy.co.uk she even goes on to say that when performing solo she has a tendency to let Sasha run free, but luckily she knew how to curb her enthusiasm during her Destiny's Child years. Yeah, okay Beyonce. Many of us were there with you during the recently defunct DC years and none of us were suprised when you went solo. Sasha may be in full force now, but she also made a few guest appearances back in the day.

If anything all of the fans signing that petition looking to see a new version of B's Deja Vu video should cool down a bit, considering that the spasms, maniacal dancing and faces present in the video aren't those of Beyonce Knowles, but instead belong to the stage hogging, over the top, give em all you got antics of the one they call Sasha.

there is a rumor that prince is going to play the halftime show of the next super bowl. not sure if it's been confirmed yet -- stay tuned.

thoughts on what he'd play? my guess is "let's go crazy", "1999", and something newer... "cinnamon girl"? because, you know, hundreds of millions of people, including little kids, will be watching. prince can be sexy, but not TOO sexy -- gotta go for that PG rating...
