Top Albums of the year: #2 Beyoncé I Am…Sasha Fierce
Any superstar worth her spangles knows that a pop music is all about capturing a Big Moment. But after a decade on the world stage, Ms. Knowles has also learned how to plant a seed and let it grow – or in this case, two seeds: the ballad-focused Beyoncé, and her dance-floor-boss-lady alter ego Sasha Fierce. Simultaneous singles “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” are undoubtedly album highlights; still, the surprise here is how consistently satisfying the rest of it is – even the less showy tracks blossom on repeated listening.
Great performances of the year: Beyoncé, Live and on Video
There’s a reason Beyoncé’s choreographer affectionately calls her “a beast.” “She challenges you to come up with the best kind of movements,” says Frank Gatson, Jr, who’s worked with her for 12 years, “because she’s going to bring it every time.” That was more than obvious from her handful of electrifying live performances, and especially in the video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” That amazing clip features the 27-year-old superstar dancing her butt off in what appears to be one flawless take, although Jake Nava actually shot the video in three parts with multiple cameras on a 360-degree set. As YouTube fanatics immediately knew, the clip was inspired by the popular 2007 viral video “Walk It Out Fosse,” which features a goofy Bob Fosse dance routine set to a booming rap track. Gatson and Beyoncé were so taken with it that they decided to pay tribute. When the Fosse video’s creator, a writer named Judi Cutrone, first saw the homage, she was thrilled: “I was excited by the thought of Beyoncé at a computer, watching my [work].” Now “Single Ladies” is a phenomenon in its own right. It has spawned a flurry of parodies, including “big girl” and “single man” versions. “I was at a club the other night and when the song came on, three girls got on stage and performed the whole dance,” says Gatson. “I was like, This is almost like ‘Thriller’!
