FanMAIL: What Makes Beyonce Tick?

Loyal reader Gina wonders if there might be something a little off with burlesque singer Beyonce. In this video clip from Bey’s upcoming 60 Minutes interview, she appears to morph into Sasha Fierce mode, which she says is her uninhibited onstage persona. But Beyonce is not onstage in this clip. It’s obvious that Bey can no longer distinguish between her two inner personalities.

The question is: does Beyonce really believe she’s Sasha Fierce? And is she in permanent Sasha Fierce mode because she can no longer cope with the harsh realities of the outside world?

Gina writes:

This had Sandra Rose-Medical moment written all over it, its the preview to Beyonce being on 60 minutes. Somewhere Ed Bradley is spinning in his grave.

Has Whitney Houston been on 60 minutes? Janet Jackson? heck Diana Ross? The promo is called “What Makes Beyonce Tick.” I don’t know if this is Beyonce in this clip or Sasha Fierce, I get so confused and all distinguishing between the two.

Blank stare @ Sasha and Beyonce.
FloridaChick813

I just read in an interview where she said Sasha Fierce has become Beyonce. She said she no longer needs Sasha Fierce

Cleary people have no life to be able to sit around analyzing video’s of entertainers

If Beyonce had balls she’d let folks know how she feels

In the words of Luda..

@ attorneymom –

Awwww, thats very sad!

You know how old she was?
msnicole

We’re supposed to be able to analyze Beyonce’s personality in a 15 second clip? GTFOH. She seems to me like she was just having a lil fun. We don’t even know the context of it.
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

@FloridaChick813, I think 7 or 8 years old. This so sad.

For what its worth.. I heard Sasha Fierce is the name of her demon/spirit that possess her..
Still I dont get this clip, maybe its me
Lovely One

What was I supposed to “get” from this 5 sec clip?

If those artist have never been on 60 mins then its about time they featured a black woman in her prime & not after she self destructs or is so removed from the industry the fan base is lost and it turns into a where are they now segment.

Just declared my Bey fandom this morning and how fitting that this post pops up.

Gina I’m sure you’ve sent this post to every black blog who would accept your email. (Your name is always attached to Bey hate mail.)

What is “what about my daughters”? I hope not a organization trying to help black girls when you are clearly a

and what is up w/ all the devil worshipping comments about Bey and Jay, now. Just become someone wasted hours of their life trying to analyze their lyrics on youtube, they sold their soul to the devil? Some pople will believe anything.
pinky2083

I agree with FloridaChick, people need to get a life.

I am sooooo tired of hearing about the demons that possess Jay and Beyonce, get over it.

Morning Family,

Just seen on Wendy yesterday that she announced she’s dropping Sasha, b/c they have now morphed into one..so maybe she can’t distinguish between the two anymore???

I guess that was Sasha who had her lipstick all over the bodyguard, and walking around in drunken haze….LMAO

How do you all feel about Hampton University’s ban on leggings?

Jay already addressed those “devil worshipper” rumors and made it clear that he believes in GOD. And what was the purpose of this clip? Slow news day?

There never was a dam sasha fierce – it was just her way of being the freak she is while keeping her wholesome image with the mainstream.
Kimmy

I am not a fan of Beyonce’, but what exactly were we suppose to “walk away” with after viewing this 21 second clip? It just looks like she was having fun backstage. I definitely agree with the others who said that some people have too much time on their hands.

@ iscream, What about our daughters is a blog dedicated to positive news about Black women. IMO, the bloggers on that site are man-hating alpha females or Black men-hating alpha females.
Quitta

@ Mirsmommy- Good morning Mirs mommy mommy!! I know right, I got to work about an half hour late today. Oh well. I was slipping and sliding while driving today. Thank God we didn’t get into any accident. I was soo nervous driving with my son in the car. I need to buy some new front tires.

@ Q Atlantis, Usher’s father was Usher Raymond III. He passed away around this time a few years ago.

I used to read What About Our Daughters, but I don’t think it’s wise to uplift our daughters using our sons necks…

She just seems so angry all the time. And I found that she would take a STAUNCH stance on an issue, then cop an attitude if readers sided on the contrary…I’m talking ‘bout disappearing for days and saying she was at conferences and such. Where they do that at…

Morning ya’ll.

Bey, don’t let me find out you’re human afterall :exclaim:

Beyonce says she doesn’t need Sasha any more, she’s “grown” and indicates that her “personalities” have integrated..well she would have to develop a thick skin..cause posts like this don’t make any sense, and she gets a daily does of this kind of fcukery…SMDH..and Bey is ignoring this ish on her way back and forth to tha bank………..that is all.

ldorisca

Maybe Beyonce was always “Sasha Fierce” and the sweet girl persona was a cover up masterminded by her daddy to make her more appealing to the young and impressionable crowd.

I don’t get it lol…15 sec clip and what was I supposed to get from it?

I think Beyonce is Sasha. She used to be sweet little B, but she’s a grown woman married to a rough neck. At this point the pure as the driven snow part is what’s fake. It took so much effort just to come up with any comment on this. I’m bored with B.

It is a perfect fit though.. I like it

@ ldorisca & Bird
I think Bey is still a sweet girl, just grown. I’ve never gotten the bitchy vibe from her. I think she follows the “lady in the streets, freak at home” idea. Plus she’s married now so she can do whatever she wants w/ Jay.

this post was a COMPLETE waste of time.

DAYUM NEXT THEY’LL OFFER COURSES AT COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE WORLD “WHAT MAKES BEYONCE TICK?”

I can’t wait to see Bey on 60 minutes. Her work ethic and drive is so inspiring.

Maybe its just me, but I don’t see the big deal about this vid….she was playing, imitating the ticking clock on 60 mins…yall gon’ dissect that????????? :lame:
dmgeorge

I am going to agree with most of the people here. Whoever sent the email is reaching and Sandra why are u co-signing? It was a short clip where she was having fun with the people that work for her and she was imitating the clock….I know Sandra dont like Bey but that was reaching at its worst.
SPB

People read more into things then what they are.

For example…..My momma can go from happy to sad to cursing you out all in 15 minutes, it doesn’t mean she has a alter ego or a switch personality. It makes her human, and as humans we have a wide range of emotions.

“Sasha Fierce” is just the name for a particular emotion Beyonce has, the emotion that takes no mess and calls a T a T, and a I an I.

SASHA HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS, SHE’S NOT NEW. ANITA BAKER AND MANY OTHER SINGERS HAVE CONFESSED TO HAVING ALTER EGOS WHEN ON STAGE. WHOM EVER SENT THIS IN HAS TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS, IT’S REALLY NOT THAT SERIOUS! SHE WAS GETTING READY TO GO ON STAGE, SO SHE PROBABLY WAS CHANNELING SASHA.
Musiqal1

She has the interview coming because she IS nominated for the most Grammys this year, and it’s coming on before the show comes on…20/20 did the same thing with Lil’ Wayne last year as he was in the same position as Beyonce this year
huxlande

well here is some food for thought..I was reading this book called “The Book of General Ignorance” and it states that before the earlier revisions of the bible the original mark of the beast was in fact 616 and not 666.
6+1+6=13
1+3=4
4? thats actually a significant number to both beyonce and Jay-z, both have it tattooed on thier fingers and both were born on the 4th of the month. Conicidence? Maybe?

lolol on a lighter note hi everyone!!!!! im new!
