Who is Sasha Fierce? Is it some rakish drag queen doing his best lip-sync performance of Ru Paul’s “Supermodel (You Better Work)” or some all purple suit donning pimp, wearing platform shoes and a white fur coat? Well it’s neither.

Sasha Fierce is Beyoncé’s new alter-ego that she’ll unveil on her upcoming two disc, I Am . . . Sasha Fierce, according to Billboard magazine. Dropping on Nov. 18, one disc will showcase her pop side with songs written by Amanda Ghost and E. Kidd Bogart, while the other one will highlight her R&B roots with songs produced by Jim Jonsin, Tricky Stewart and Bangladesh.
OK, why am I not all excited? I love the alter-ego name, Sasha Fierce. I just wished that the concept behind it had more imagination than the “pop versus R&B.” Guess I was hoping for something more outlandish like David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust or Janelle Monae’s Cindi Mayweather – you know, something for futuristic and edgy to give justice to the alter-ego’s name. I bet lil sis, Solange could pull off a this off much better.

What are your thoughts?
