I remember back in middle school singing "Say My Name" with my friends and shaking my booty without a care in the world what the lyrics meant or the story. Well, truth be told, I knew what the song was about as well as the other great hits that came out of Destiny's Child, but yeah, those were some fabulous days of innocence. And thank goodness the music then wasn't half as sex-filled as those of today.

So, I guess I should say that I've been following Beyonce since her Destiny's Child days, to her film debut and her solo works, and I personally think that she's great. Sometimes a stuck-up diva, but a fine singer at that. Ahaha. So her latest album came out last year and I got it. I mean, why not? 'Sasha Fierce' would make anyone curious especially when the 'it' word last year was..."fierce".

To be critical, I didn't really like "Single Ladies". It gets old fast. "If I Were A Boy" was intriguing and beautifully sung too, but that too became old. So here I am thinking "what song do I LOVE on this album" and there it was..."Halo". Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic wrote the song or that Leona Lewis was originally going to be the artist to record it, but it has me hooked. I've listened to it nonstop today and it's beautiful. The lyrics, the way Beyonce sings it, and the lightness of the music video that goes along with it make it the perfect song for the album. It's brilliant.

Since I can't embed the video here, I'll just give you the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70AgyIEnBRE

I hope you like it!
