PRINCE brought BEYONCE KNOWLES' sassy alter-ego SASHA FIERCE to the forefront when the pop diva performed with him at the 2004 Grammy Awards.
The Survivor singer's family and friends insist Beyonce has always taken on a totally different persona when she gets on stage, but it took Prince to make her realise she 'trances out' and becomes Fierce during big shows.
Beyonce has since given the character a name and now uses her aggressive alter-ego to help her combat nerves and counter difficult interviews and photoshoots.
She even pays tribute to Fierce on her hit new album, I Am... Sasha Fierce.
She tells Giant magazine, "That night with Prince, I was just in a trance. I don't remember anything after I walked through the smoke onstage.
"I was definitely Sasha Fierce that night, completely free."
But the singer's parents first spotted Fierce when Beyonce was just six and performing at a school talent show.
Mum Tina Knowles explains, "She got on that stage and became a different person. My husband and I looked at each other like, 'Who is that?'"

It's a shame the music still sucks.

Was the stage at the Grammy's or at some Penthouse suite later that night? Would Prince lower himself? Would Jay Z kick his ass if it were true?

Sasha Fierce - I think not, just another artist Prince has encouraged to give more of themself in concert. Now if she had some decent material.....

ZZZZZzzzzz

uh excuse me?

Aw bullsuga!!!

Beyonce don't need Prince to be fierce! He needs her to be sexy at 50!! NO OFFENSE to my sexy purple one but come on...that snippet makes it seems like Prince was doing Beyonce a favor when it was clearly the other way around. Else why would he still be performing PRain and Baby Ima Star aside from all his other great songs. Gettin hotel loungy up in this byatch!

Now why they gotta go and drag Prince into this???

Do any of her multiple personalities admit to being married?

This thread title single-handedly out-gheyed every gay themed thread I've ever created and nurtured with in one fell swoop.

Man if I was the producer on that Sha Sha Fierce album yall know I would have BRUNG IT HARD. Me and Vain would have tore some s*** down!

Someone needs to send her a memo informing her that the name Sasha Fierce is... well, downright corny. She should have went to a ball and asked a house mother to name her something truly spleniferous.
