Welcome to Beyonce Source. What was once your favorite source, has now become an active Beyonce Blog. We have come to realize that all of the extra stuff, doesn't really get visited by our fans, so we are going to focus on what you focus on. MEDIA! Meaning videos, audio, and pictures.
Beyonce Knowles has spoken out about a recent magazine article in which she revealed she almost suffered a nervous breakdown, insisting she may have been misquoted.
The pop superstar is far from happy with the Gotham magazine piece, in which she reportedly stated she was headed towards a collapse two years ago (06).
Knowles now says, “I wouldn’t say I was on the verge of a breakdown. That’s a very strong thing to say.”
So was she misquoted?
She adds, “Maybe. I have been before.”
2-disc “I Am … Sasha Fierce” 16 track titles are here…
As you may already know, the bootylicious singer is releasing her third solo studio album “I Am … Sasha Fierce.” Yep, it’s finally here and it’s a double treat. Her first release since the 2006 Grammy-winning multi-platinum-selling “B-Day” is a 2-disc compilation – one that features ballads, and another one which has more dance tracks.
So you’re wondering what “Sasha Fierce” is? Well, that would be Beyonce’s ego. Bey explains…
“The new record is a double album and has two covers, like a magazine would have two covers. One of the covers is named I Am and the second cover is named Sasha Fierce. That is my alter ego and now she has a last name. 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.”
Working on getting the new layout up. In the meantime, I have added some MQ and HQ pics from last night’s event, Beyonce And Tina Knowles Celebrate The New HOD Collection, to the gallery. So check them out. I will have alot of new pictures to add, so if you stay tuned you won’t be disappointed.

Beyonce Reveals Title and Details About Her Forthcoming Double Album ‘I Am… Sasha Fierce’ Available Everywhere Tuesday, November 18
Music World Music/Columbia Records is releasing I Am… Sasha Fierce, the new full-length double album from the international superstar and cultural icon Beyonce on Tuesday, November 18.
“The new record is a double album and has two covers, like a magazine would have two covers,” Beyonce revealed. “One of the covers is named I Am… and the second cover is named Sasha Fierce. That is my alter ego and now she has a last name. 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 only know me see.”
Last week, Mathew Knowles broke the news that Beyoncé will embark on a 110-date world tour that will begin in April 2009 and trek through Canada, Europe, the U.S. (with a one-week stint in Las Vegas), Mexico, South America, Japan, Africa, and Australia. But what you didn’t hear was that Beyoncé won’t be the only Knowles on the road.
Discussions are under way for Solange to join her big sis’ on tour. After seeing the elder Knowles rock arenas, fans would be able to go to a more intimate location and watch Solange perform at an official “after-party.” Specific details have yet to be announced.
Beyoncé is scheduled to release her third album I Am… on November 18th, while Solange’s sophomore release SoL-AngeL and The Hadley St. Dreams is available now.
Rap-Up.com attended an exclusive press listening for Beyoncé’s third album I Am… last week at CineSpace in Los Angeles where Mathew Knowles played the double-disc LP and hinted at the follow-up singles to “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).”
On the Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic) and Beyoncé-produced second pop single “Halo,” the 27-year-old sings about her knight in shining armor (Hov?): “Baby I can see your halo / You know you’re my saving grace / You’re everything I need and more / It’s written all over your face.”
The ballad features heavy drums, claps, piano, and strong vocals from B. “Halo” was written by Beyoncé, Tedder, and E. Kidd Bogart. The entire first disc, I Am… Beyoncé, contains acoustic ballads in the same vein as “Halo.”
While pop radio will be serviced with “Halo,” urban radio will get “Ego.” Beyoncé kicks it old school on the uptempo throwback R&B jam off I Am… Sasha Fierce produced and written by the singer, Elvis “BlacElvis” Williams, and Harold Lilly (Alicia Keys’ “You Don’t Know My Name”). Loud trumpets and organs infiltrate the funky track, which was a favorite among the media present.
The hook goes something like this: “You got a big ego, such a huge ego / I love his big ego / It’s too big, it’s too wide, it’s too strong, it won’t fit, it’s too much / He walk like this because he can back it up.”
B even shows her cocky side: “I talk like this because I can back it up / I got a big ego.”
Mathew disclosed that they reached out to Kanye West about appearing on “Ego,” but he wasn’t available at the time. However, a remix is not out of the question.
I have been missing in action, but it doesnt mean I haven’t been working behind the scenes. I am VERY busy these days with the ARMY life. But my tasks are almost complete, and it will definately show! I will be having an “update day” on NOV 1. So stay clicked…you dont want to miss it!
