Late 2009, we saw Lady Gaga and Beyonce join forces--initially, I was totally against it. I wasn't yet indoctrinated by Miss Lady because at that point I thought she was pretentious and talentless...well I stand corrected(and even if I was correct in thinking less of Lady G, I'd still have "shut up and sit down" because like everyone has come to realize, Gaga owned 2009).
Anyways--Beyonce announced she's taking a break after her...third? World Tour (Get 'em B!) A well deserved break, I might add. The Queen B herself raked in 6 Grammys in one sitting this past month--a record win for a Female Artist. So what I want to talk about is Beyonce's break...anyone who follows her career knows she's constantly on the grind, so when she's "breaking" she's just preparing to attempt to out do her own self (keyword: attempt). Heck, Beyonce had to create Sasha Fierce to help take on the job of outdoing Beyonce!
You may remember Ibegan to talk about the Lady and Beyonce collabo and what it meant. It perplexed me for a moment, but then it made too much sense.... [The following is an AIM conversation, note, some of my opinions have changed since then, but you'll get the gist]:
HOT video.
oh god.
are you not watching this?!
i am right now
gagas nose..
but now i get to see how she actually looks
for once.
i thought this was beyonce.
beyonces song with gaga on the rmx
telephone is gags song feat beyonce.
ew. that outfit.
and beyonces part in that song is hot...but gaga no
she messed it up.
i know..it was fine by itself...im trying to figure out why b chose gaga to colabo with?!
what the hell is beyonce doing.
of all people
what part?
she's getting it..dancing wise.
10:05 PM
i think she likes gagas visual performance..thats the road B's been going down lately
focusing on her videos
since when is she on this weird creative vein.
it started with bday..but really showed with her last tour...remember at her concert?all the videos she had.
gaga is weird looking
i like what she adds
gaga can actually move at the end..her part in the actual song is retarded..her presence in the video isnt as annoying as i thought it would be but still
i guess B was using gaga to make sure people watch her video
i like what she brings in
bc if gagas in it then it's bound to be weird
omg
no she's just an incentive to watch
that orange stripe shirt and the black hat.
bc gagas actually the "normal" one in the video
digging that outfit.
hahah you would
i like it.
with gaga.
i like her multicolored leos
of course.and thats why B did it.
when they're in the white they're kind of moving.
people accept it. so when shes done using gaga and established her "weird creative vein" she'll drop her.
yeah that was a hot part.
i'm kind of ready for beyonce to fade out.
the first part of the video was bomb. her body in that robot suit..sweetgoodness.
so are all her haters.
hahahahahha
she does need to take a break though and reestablish. she's going through a fade right now..it's hard to top oneself.
oh please.
take a step back and listen to yourself.
10:10 PM
brooklynn ive been on Beyonce since DChilds. i've watched almost every performance. shes always trying to outdue herself. thats why shes the Queen and no one is holding a candle to her..
OKAY
NO SPHIEL
I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT
dangerously in love..she was raw talent.bday....that's when she established her reign....her latest tour...she was testing her limits.
hahahahhahahhaha
dont get me started
you know i can go.
i won't
So...what I'm getting at is--whatever Beyonce does next....don't be surprised--I'm already trying to mentally prepare myself. Look at it like this...Gaga is already setting Beyonce up beautifully, because Lady has already traumatizedthe world (in a twisted good way?) with her "performance art", so whatever anyone else comes out with will look like child's play.
For example, Rhi Rhi's latest video:
Personally, I like this. It's funkyfreshhh and I think it's...Bomb.

Give credit where credits due. I wish I was born in a different time where jingles eventually evolve into classic tunes as I age, but I miss that great era of inventiveness. So when I see it nowadays, I show my appreciation:
