November 2009



Beyoncé, the wildly popular singer who was named Billboard's Woman of the Year last month, is set to release a live concert DVD, a live CD and a new song, "Video Phone" featuring Lady Gaga. The DVD, entitled "I Am...Yours: An Intimate Performance At Wynn Las Vegas" will be released November 23 by Music World Music/Columbia Records. In addition, a Thanksgiving television special - Beyoncé's first on a major network - will air Nov. 26.

Recorded on Aug. 2, 2009 during a sold out four-night stint at the Wynn Resort Encore Theater in Las Vegas, the DVD will mix biographical storytelling, performances and behind-the-scenes footage, showcasing over 30 songs from all three Beyonce solo albums, as well as some Destiny's Child material. A CD of the concert will be included in the package.

Also due on November 23 is the "I Am...Sasha Fierce" Deluxe Edition which will feature five number one hits and two bonus tracks including "Video Phone (Extended Remix)," with Lady Gaga & "Poison." (Source: Billboard)

Beyoncé Unleashes Sasha Fierce on DVD
by Tanya Remekie (for RU.com)
November 19, 2009

Beyoncé tends to walk a straight and narrow path, but she’s no nun. She’s way too sassy, her dancing is too sexy, and her neck cocks too hard for that. On the superstar’s new DVD, I Am… Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas, out Monday, audiences experience a show-stopping event as Sasha Fierce and Bey come out to play.


Strutting out in classic Jean-Paul Gaultier, Beyoncé hits the stage with “Hello” before bringing the audience in to help her move through “Irreplaceable.” After a “Sweet Dreams” medley featuring Anita Baker’s “Sweet Love,” Jay-Z’s other half sings “If I Were a Boy” and surprisingly grabs her crotch at the line, “Wish you were a better man.” And to the delight of concertgoers, Beyoncé switches from her R&B roots to the rock tunes of Alanis Morisette’s “You Oughta Know,” while getting on all fours and whipping her hair to and fro.

After intermission, the woman of the hour returns in a black sequined leotard for a Broadway-fashioned narration of her life story, told through song and dance. From Destiny’s Child’s cover of Michael Jackson’s “I Wanna Be Where You Are,” to DC’s first hit “No, No, No,” to her debut solo album, to the YouTube phenomenon “Single Ladies,” Beyoncé shares her magical story. She even throws in an anecdote, describing how Columbia Records failed to like her song choices for B’Day. She reveals that executives told her before its release that it didn’t have one hit, to which Bey was sly to agree. “I didn’t have one. I had five.” Ouch.

Beyoncé’s I Am… Yours DVD will be edited down into an hour-long TV special, airing November 26 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.

She learned well from Mj.

Graycap23 said:

Mike never had a re-release mere months of the original release

bboy87 said:

Cause he was 2 busy milking the previous release.

Graycap23 said:

Gracycap...

JackieBlue said:

Am I lying?

Graycap23 said:

If you're on a label, you're supposed to promote it so it can be a success right?

bboy87 said:

Mj died when he was 50.
As an adult he put out what 6 or 7 cd's? That is WEAK.

Graycap23 said:

Maybe because that was his plan

bboy87 said:

That makes it even WORSE.

Graycap23 said:

While I definitely wish he had produced more material I think at least 2 or 3 of those CDs were exceptional. He was more than just a recording artist and the work he put in for the visual aspect almost makes up for the lack of music. For 5 or 6 albums he has an amazing discography that overshadows the work of some who put out twice that amount.

JackieBlue said:

I dig Mj as an artist but his output was anemic.

Graycap23 said:

It was a little lacking but overall... how many albums did he drop altogther--not including GHs? Calling bboy... I'm sure it was decent to substantial.

JackieBlue said:

As a solo artist?

1972- Got To Be There
Ben
1973- Music And Me
1975- Forever, Michael
1979- Off The Wall
1982- Thriller
1987- Bad
1991- Dangerous
1995- HIStory
1997- Blood On The Dancefloor
2001- Invincible

then you have the compilations and other albums:
1982- ET Storybook
1984- Farewell My Summer Love
1986- Looking Back At Yesterday


but altogether.....around 34 albums

I think that's decent output.
