"A little sweat ain't never hurt nobody..."

I have been on a bit of a hip-hop kick lately. So in the upcoming posts, you may hear from the likes of J. Holiday and Swizz Beats, amongst others. Just mentioning.

For now, here's Beyonce, because her "Get Me Bodied" song was stuck in my head after I saw everyone at Vlada simultaneously bust out dancing after my roommate Rebecca's cabaret show not too long ago. In their praise, there was not a poor dancer in the lot of them. I was signing some drink receipts so I could leave, but in that one moment, I had never felt a stronger urge to dance.

I think this song works so well because Beyonce never fights her inclination to be overindulgent with her voice. Her songs have a bit of excess in the rises and ways that she flaunts her ability. However, in this particular song, the beat and speed is overwhelming, so when she does bring her voice up and puts it to work in the "Baby, all I want is to let it go" segment, it's a welcome contrast to the rest of the number. It's an exercise in delayed gratification of sorts and it works in her favor.

Also, seriously, where did this come from?



It further cements the idea that Pink is an excellent singer and entirely underrated. I think she's more talented than Britney Spears and Beyonce anyway.
