Forget the Texas beauty with the southern drawl we've grown to love and respect. When it comes to kinetic performances, Beyoncé Knowles delivers with the help of her alter ego, Sasha Fierce.

"Sasha Fierce is my alter ego," says Beyoncé. "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage. This alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am. That's why half the record, "I Am...," is about who I am underneath all the makeup, underneath the lights, and underneath all the exciting star drama. And "Sasha Fierce" is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage. The double album allows me to take more risks and really step out of myself, or shall I say, step more into myself, and reveal a side of me that people who only know me see."

I'm feeling the new album. I really give her props because she's trying new genres of music but still keeping the R&B locked down. She's not afraid to experiment. I find that to be admirable. She's a true music lover and it shows. When one loves music, they can hear pass the boundaries that they are used to hearing and create a sound that appears to the masses. Although it takes a team to create a new album, she's got the right people behind her. I also admire the fact that altough she is married she is still keeping her sex appeal. There's nothing wrong with that. She's a smart business woman. No matter what age you are, you gotta keep that sex appeal. You have to use it while you can...
