    Alter-Egomaniacs: Singers and Their Split Personalities

    • Posted   by Spinner Staff

    Why do so many singers adopt a second persona, either onstage or in real life? It could be they just can't cope with being their usual selves sometimes -- or, more likely, it's that they're overflowing with more talent than it's fair for just one individual to possess.

    Beyoncé aka Sasha Fierce

    Beyoncé's new double album, 'I Am ... Sasha Fierce,' is the work of two artists. On one side, the refined megastar we all know simply as Beyoncé. On the other, a brash, sexy newcomer named, you guessed it, Sasha Fierce. Surprise -- they're the same person! As Beyoncé puts it, "Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken, more glamorous side that comes out ... when I'm on the stage." Watch Beyonce on Sessions.

    YES! the best comment on the forum, WHO CARES!! Look everyone, people are loosing their homes, their jobs, and its not getting better, can Beyoncé or whatever her other name is save my house? Come on people. I am not hating on her it is true, she is a good artist but she is exhausting, just when we weren't hearing from her for a while there she goes pulling this mess to get our attention. Enough already!

    i just can't get used to saying "sasha feirce" rather than "beyonce"- it's been that way for too long and it just doesn't seem right.
