I didn't want to, but after about three solid listens (and many more since), I fell madly in love with B'Day. Believe me, I think Beyoncé has been overpraised for years (that she's pretty much the ruling diva of this generation, or at least of her age group, really bothers me since her voice is merely good and her fame is bolstered by her multi-hyphenate/ADHD sensibility). I can't help joining the chorus this time -- B'Day is a tight, short album that doesn't overstay its welcome or try to be something it isn't. Beyoncé is not above utterly contemporary pop, and B'Day knows it. There is true beauty in knowing one's place. There is truer beauty in talking to your own vagina. Let's go, little kitty kats.
I could go on and on (fun fact: B'Day skirts the theory on diva albums I laid out in my review of Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics -- it's a concept album and even more, the very concept [songs Bey's Dreamgirls character Deena should have said] allows it to side-step the faux-confessing characteristic of the modern diva). A 1,500+ word essay on B'Day, however, would betray the album's brilliantly simplistic spirit. Instead, I'm offering a what-if scenario that combines a new favorite (that'd be Bey) with an old -- Lucio Fulci's opus of zombies and popped eyeballs, the 1981 trashterpiece, The Beyond.
Gorehounds and sappy-ballad lovers, alike, I give you...
(Note that the screenshots after the jump, while not as disgusting as they could be given the source, are nonetheless occasionally graphic. Also, let the page load completely before viewing. The gifs are on a loop, which may result in confusion. Have no fear: each one's starting point involves Bey sashaying into the frame. All Beyoncé shots are via BeyonceWorld.net. Check out the B'Day promo shoot because it's fucking hilarious, even without being superimposed on Fulci's frames.)
Whatever you say. Beyonce still rules! Shes beautiful, she got talent, great body, very hot and now has her own clothing line. its www.beyoncehouseofdereonclothingline.com.
I love you Beyonce!
