高中阅读Two faces of BeyonceBEYONCé, Sasha Fierce
BEYONCé, Sasha Fierce or Queen B – whatever name you choose to call her, one
thing is for sure: This 27-year-old certainly knows how to make her fans crazy
in love with her.
The US R&B talent is currently busy touring the world with her third
album, I Am. . . Sasha Fierce. Wherever she goes, she makes it clear to her fans at
the sold-out venues (场所) that their money is worth (值得) it.
I Am. . . is a two-disc set. One is the work of "Beyoncé", who is soft and
romantic, the other her alter ego (另一个自己), "Sasha Fierce", who is proud and
aggressive (强势的). The album's opening song, If I Were A Boy, about her feelings
that men live completely different lives from women, was number 1 in the UK
singles chart (单曲榜) for weeks.
Beyoncé's new music offers a rare insight (遥悟) into the two sides of the pop
star. "I Am… is about who I am underneath (在……下面) all the makeup, the lights and
all the exciting drama," she explained during an interview.
In real life, Beyoncé has been working hard to prove herself. After a huge
success with the girl group Destiny's Child, she had her first album Dangerously
In Love that earned her five Grammy Awards in 2004. In a history-making moment,
Beyoncé sang the song At Last to Barack Obama and his wife Michelle for their
first dance after his inauguration (就职典礼) in January.
Beyoncé is not just a singer, she's also known for her acting. You may have
seen her in the movie Dreamgirls.
The singer-turned-actress has her eye on the goal of winning an Oscar. She
says the dream motivates (激发) her to stay in shape.
"I'm not one of those people who don't have to work at it," she says. "I
can't eat what I want, and I have to go to the gym … There are no quick, easy
secrets. The truth is, it's a lot of sacrifices (牺牲), like giving up ice
cream. "
