Sasha Fierce and Beyonce have disjoined and released a double disc album under the ear-catching billing "I am… Sasha Fierce". The two part portrait features eight tracks from the alluring Beyonce and eight from the…well, uh, fierce, Sasha.
Perhaps this Sasha Fierce is just riding our beloved Beyonce's fame, and I bet that bi-atch is also riding B's husband - you gotta' watch your back girl! Sasha girl must be taking posing tips from Tyra Banks, dem fierce eyes don't come natural. Girlfriend be scaring the bejeezies outta the kids.

Okay, having an alter-ego is one thing, but recording half your album as your other half is just a tad peculiar. Beyonce takes a big risk with this one, but boy, oh boy does it work. Beyonce is smart, she's a business woman, and there's no way in hell she's going to let little sister Solange (who also has an album on the shelves) beat her up the charts. So you like Beyonce's big ballads? You got it. Or do you prefer her upbeat pop side? You got it.
Disc one is all Beyonce and all voice. Eight ballads, including first single "If I Were a Boy" and "Halo" and "Broken-Hearted Girl", prove she has a set of lungs on her. These are the sing-a-long tracks that wannabe divas are going to be listening too: they're big and loud and have lots of emotional shouting.

Disc two is where it gets interesting. Starting off with "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)", Sasha is all pop. These are the radio-and-club friendly beats with a shorter shelf life, kinda like The Pussycat Dolls. Some of the eight tracks are so far removed from the Beyonce we've come to love. "Diva" and "Radio" sound like the second grade pop stuff you'd expect from one hit wonders.
Now who will have the most number ones on the music charts, Beyonce or Sasha? Whether you prefer Sasha or whether you are more of an old school Beyonce fan, this is one for your collection - even if it's just for novelty value.
