• “Me Myself and I” (Dangerously In Love)
• “Resentment”, (B’day): Beyonce` sings with so much conviction and emotion, you feel every drop of pain.
• “Still in Love (Kissing You)” (B’day Deluxe)- delicate and romantic. I was so geeked when I heard she was going to cover the song because I LOVE the original. My favorite song by my favorite singer.
• “Trust in Me” (Cadillac Records Sdtk): the characterization of Etta is so perfect on this song. Too bad she didn’t nail the characterization on “At Last”; where it counted the most. Beyonce` proves on this song that she can handle gritty, old school soul.
• “Smash Into You” (I Am…Sasha Fierce)
• “Ring the Alarm”: Our first encounter with an angry, irrational, kick butt Beyonce`. I love the insanity of it.
• “Save the Hero” (I Am…Sasha Fierce Bonus)- it’s an extremely well-written, introspective song about being in a “hero” position. Beyonce` is in rare form; the song reveals what could possibly be some honest feelings. Check out my June 3rd post under “entertainment” to hear it.
