Let's start by extending fake condolences to Sasha Fierce's family and friends. Beyoncé revealed in a recent interview with Allure that the alter-ego she created in order to get over her shyness and perform sexily, or something, is no more.
"Sasha Fierce is done. I killed her," she said.
This isn't exactly like the death of Ziggy Stardust. She wanted to give the stage (and album) persona a name instead of just, you know, performing different kinds of songs differently, and now she doesn't need that name, or maybe she's retiring that persona. Wouldn't it make more sense to say, "Sasha Fierce is done," or maybe, "I'm done calling myself Sasha Fierce half the time," without adding on the part about taking Sasha's life?
If I'm missing part of the story and someone named Sasha Fierce really is dead, I do hope Beyoncé can come to terms with what she's done and, eventually, forgive herself. Or not.
So, Ke$ha, the singer with the dollar sign in the middle of her name, has some rather harsh things to say about Britney Spears lip-syncing on tour. She doesn't "think it's fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance."
"If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing," she goes on, adding some stuff about how lip-syncing is treating people like they're too stupid to realize you're not actually singing, before concluding, "My whole record is super-honest. I am really honest. When I am singing I may sound s**t sometimes but at least you'll know I'm singing."
I get it. I mean, why can't someone sing and then dance only when there's no singing required? However, I think nowadays people know what they're getting when they buy tickets to a Britney Spears show (a show, and not always live vocals). That's just how Brittney does it. Ke$ha calling Britney out in this way is sort of like if Brittney called Ke$ha out for sounding s**t sometimes.
In conclusion, I'd just like to say that if this happens to your band, then your band needs to re-learn how to properly rock a small venue.
