Weekend Music Club – Beyoncé’s “Halo”

Just can’t get enough of Beyoncé. Not only is her latest musical offering from the underappreciated I Am…Sasha Fierce album (“Halo”) edging ever so close to the Billboard singles Top Ten this week, her latest flick, Obsessed, will finish atop the box office heap this weekend, beating out the heavily promoted Jamie Foxx-Robert Downey Jr. vehicle, The Soloist. Not that the latter is a bad movie by any means, but Sasha is on fire.

Heck, Beyoncé even realized that the much publicized prank involving a recent performance at Rockefeller Center in NYC for the “Today” show did not present even a modicum of hindrance for her current wave of success. You go, Girl!

Oh, and BTW, her video for “Halo” is this weekend’s official Music Club selection.

Beyoncé

Okay, it’s no secret that I consider Beyoncé one of the world’s most talented and accessible megastars. She’s been the subject of a recent Music Club post here on Doctor Pundit, and her video in that post has been downloaded (legally) at least 1 million times since its release. Herein lies the subject of this post. That song. More specifically, that video — the one for her most recent #1 hit “Single Ladies”. Besides being completely compellingly choreographed to the max, the clip has spawned what seems to be a cottage industry of imitators and satirists, and I think that’s awesome. Though it was released in late November 2008, it is truly the first great big hit of 2009. The song is easily one of Beyoncé’s catchiest and, dare I say, most important tracks to date. The ailing music industry needs to stop obsessing about illegal downloads (something they have very little control over) and start focusing on fostering intelligent, lasting pop gems. Props to Beyoncé and her continued positive influence on the music industry. Go ahead and enjoy the song once again (currently #1 on my iPod’s ‘Recurrents’ playlist) and at least one version from one of her many disciples.

Weekend Music Club: Beyoncé

So far, this decade, she’s amassed 11 top ten hits, 5 of those going all the way to No. 1 [including her latest -- the above embedded video to "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"], and she headlines Cadillac Records, a (mostly accurate) biopic detailing the rise of the Chess Records label. There’s no shortage of charts that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles won’t top. She’s the subject of this weekend’s Music Club on Doctor Pundit. | LINK
