Beyoncé is fierce, crazy, beautiful, and spectacular. It’s been a so-so acting road she’s been down so far, but no one can deny the power and talent she has when it comes to her music and performing! I can’t to see her live in concert again, but until then enjoy the first 5 singles from my list of Top 10 Beyoncé singles!
10.) “Déjà Vu”
(from the album B’Day)
I’m glad that I snuck this into the countdown, even though in other people’s minds there are plenty of other great choices. It’s one of her forgotten gems, filled with a new kind of energy and another powerhouse first single. What I love is the Earth, Wind, & Fire influence in the song, and who can deny the chemistry between Beyoncé and Jay-Z of course?!! And I don’t care that people tried getting her to make a new video for this song, I love it just the way it is!!!
9.) “Telephone” (featuring Lady GaGa)
(from the album The Fame Mons†er)
Yes, GAGA! It didn’t work so well for their first collaboration when GaGa became Geyoncé in “Video Phone”, coming into Beyoncé’s world. What did amazing though and was visually stunning all over was Beyoncé going into GaGa’s world, and that’s why this is one of my favorite collaborations from any artist! From the song itself, to the genius 10 minute video, everything about this was golden!
8.) “My, Myself, And I”
(from the album Dangerously In Love
She can bring the fierceness to a powerhouse club hit, but what makes her ridiculous is her ability to still bring the fierceness with a slow song (or even a mid-tempo number). It’s a bittersweet tale from a heartbroken woman, filled with sadness and strength to move on. And who doesn’t love backwards plot?
7.) “Upgrade U” (featuring Jay-Z)
(from the album B’Day)
The second of three husband/wife collaborations, and this one is all kinds of rough! It’s Sasha Fierce at her best, representing for all the ladies that women are here to rule (and can make their own money too!) She looks stunning and beautiful as usual, and she does a great impression of Jay-Z!
6.) “If I Were A Boy”
(from the album I Am…Sasha Fierce)
Coming out with two first singles from her last album gave her fans a chance to really see two different sides of her. With this song, it was great to dive in deeper and see more fierceness in a mid-tempo song. Again she represents for all the ladies, bringing to light an obvious double standard when it comes to men and women. And while the music video right here is amazing:
It’s the live mash-up with Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” from her tour that really brings the fire!
