Marie Claire cover

Magazine Cover0 Comments

Knowles appears on the cover of the June 2009 issue of Marie Claire magazine. She talks about her song Single Ladies.

More than anything, the song celebrates being single. It’s like, if you’ve been doing all you can and it’s not happening for you, go out and have you a good old time. Put on your sexy dress and move on. I know I’m stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.

Ego video

0 Comments

Knowles releases music video for single Ego from her album I Am… Sasha Fierce. 

My goal for the video is simplicity.  I saw this old tape of Bob Fosse’s wife, and I used that as inspiration. I thought in this world, with all the technology and everything that’s going on, to strip everything down—great idea. So I kind of did the same thing, but glossy and black, for Ego.

Etta James slams

At a show at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre James criticizes Knowles for singing At Last at the inaugural ball.

You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain’t my president. He might be yours; he ain’t my president. But I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song — she’s going to get her a– whipped. The great Beyoncé. Like I said, she ain’t mine. … I can’t stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol’ president day, gonna be singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.
