Beyonce Brings Back The Medley on The TRL Finale
-- by NNN.com contributor Ryan McNally
America’s No. 1 drag queen Sasha Fierce (you gotta snap your fingers when you say it) unleashed herself and her new weave at TRL’s funeral last night, and, of course, Ms. HOV danced around and sang (and screamed like she was in church trying to get some demons out of her or something). Even though this was B's first performance of her I Am… era without that Michael Jackson-esque gold hand thing, Beyonce turned out “If I Were A Boy,” “Single Ladies” and “Crazy In Love.”
Keeping in touch with the long forgotten and under-appreciated use of the medley, Beyonce sang three songs in under six minutes. B knows times are tough for consumers; a medley truly gives you, the listener, more for your money. Why hear one song when, for an extra 90 seconds, you can hear three!?
I'm hopeful this will strike a chord with the youth of today as well as with the music industry at large, because a lot more can be done for the world in these economic times. While Madonna believes that she only has four minutes to save the world, Beyonce knows that she can save it in just six.
