Beyonce, Framed
Did we mention she's really good-looking?
Yes, Beyonce has it all. And on her latest album, I Am... Sasha Fierce, she shows her fans two sides of her personality, revealing Sasha as her assertive, partying alter ego. One disc of the two-record set's is "Sasha's," the other's is "Beyonce's."
Two of the videos from the record are in Y! Music's Top 20 videos as of this writing. We've chosen "If I Were a Boy," a "Beyonce" track, and a role-reversing video that shows the contemplative songstress explicating gender attitudes like nobody's business!
Well, certainly not ours.
We think you'll enjoy this affecting ballad. And, if not, we hope you enjoy the still pictures we've pulled from the video, all professionally captioned for your enjoyment. Please let us know what you think of Beyonce, her video, this blog, and everything else. That's why we're here!
Important blog note! We're proud of our readers, many of whom appear to be high school graduates, and their excellent posts! Every few months we take time out to reply to some of the best, so please enjoy this lively give-and-take before we get to this week's captions!
From the "Ben Folds Five": "I would laugh, but I want to be referenced at the start of your article, John! That's right! I only posted this for attention!"--D33PPURPLE
Framed replies: Did you say something?
From the "David Cook Framed": "First and foremost john, your an idiot! Yes you are a critic and everyone has a right to their opinion, but yours goes way over the top even for a critic....David Cook was the declared winner, for his TALENT!"--Yahoo! Music User
Framed replies: But we read somewhere that American Idol's been fixed since day one!
From the "Britney Spears Framed": "framed- ur complaining about brit, but then ur writting an article about her & her comback....hmmm, it seems like the media is just as obsessed w/ her as the fans are."--osorio_07_09
Framed replies: Framed never complains about Brit. Framed really enjoyed her video. ur a hater.
From the "Rascal Flatts Framed": "John, how do I contact Gummo's agent? Also, what planet is he originally from? I am interested in developing a series for the Sci-fi channel that would feature him and his many schemes to enslave mankind and such. Please post this info in your next installment of this ever popular blog. Happy holidays!"--Yahoo! Music User
Framed replies: As shown in Framed #54 (Men Without Hats), Gummo hails from fabled Bubbylonia. To contact The Sentient Bubble directly, go to the nearest mall, church or crowded movie theater and sing "Your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they're no friends of mine" in a loud voice, over and over again.
From the "Jason Mraz Framed": "Okay, I like Jason Mraz ALOT, and that was pretty stupid to make fun of him like that. And the article was COMPLETELY stupid. But I have to admit, captions 5, 11, and 12, were oddly funny. ESPECIALLY 12 . . . lololol"--Mo
Framed replies: So, we win, right?
From the "U2 Framed": (To answer your question), "What classes and extracurricular activities would be useful in preparing yourself to work at Framed, thus showing everybody?
"'How To Skip School' and 'Finding the a perfect Job for Highschool Drop-outs' are a must. Then, ofcoure, you have to take 'Advanced Calculus' and something about vertexes."--D33PPURPLE
Framed replies: And also something about vertices, Purple.
From the "Pussycat Dolls Framed": "as for the 'framed' part of this blog, well done. I am no PCD fan, so the fact that I read all the captions lends credit to your humor! I can't stand the PCD primarily for the way they portray themselves, not to mention the fact that I am NOT a fan of this genre of music. That being said, I have to shamefully admit, I think I kinda like this song....but you didn't read that."--kung_fu_mama
Framed replies: And now we didn't read it twice!
