It is a travesty of the most extreme that Beyonce's album 4 was not nominated for any Grammys this year. It hurts my brain that an album like Loud (no offence Rhianna...) would be nominated and they could overlook 4. And blah blah, everyone loves Adele, and yes it's marvellous she's got the voice back (although am I the only one who thinks there was more emotion in her songs when she was using the belting raspy voice that incidentally destroyed her throat?) BUT come on now. Just so you know, I'm about to get a bit excited. Beyonce is the queen of all. Seriously, in my eyes she can literally do no wrong. Not only is she one of the greatest performs and singers in the world (and possibly ever) but she's not a drug addict nor does she have any major issues (parental, childhood, romantic or otherwise related), she is graceful and poised (take note Adele...) whilst still be the definitely of FIERCE and FABULOUS and is generally an example and role model to all women. She has it all, the career, the man, the new babe and she absolutely goes to show that if you work hard enough and have the right positive attitude you really can have it all. I often attempt to channel Beyonce when I need to particularly fabulous (more than my normal level of fabulosity obvs).
This particular performance is of my favourite song from the album from Glastonbury last year. Oh.My.God. If you haven't watched the full hour and half performance (it's on YouTube so there's no excuse - I've now seen it 12 times) then I suggest you buy something yummy, make sure no ones in the house so it has your undivided attention and WATCH. I want that sparkly jacket more than anything. Also go listen to 4 (spotify playlist at the end of the blog). Perfection.
My record of the day: Beyonce - End of Time (from her fourth studio album 4, 2011 - Columbia Records)
