Beyonce...she continues crashing...

Here's what happens when someone very young, not all that experienced though talented as she is, is given too much praise and freedom far too soon. After becoming the bootylicious dictator of Destiny's Child and then saying "see ya bitches" to strike it on her own, Ms. Knowles became the unofficial president of the world almost instantly. But with Dangerously In Love, she had good reasons to be so insanely popular- she had some cracking good singles (namely "Crazy In Love", but the others were just as delicious). But lately, the B has been slacking off. Earlier this year she unleashed "Check On It"- not surprisingly a huge hit, if not the most irritating single of 2006 by far. Now she's trying to get our attention with "Deja Vu", and it's floundering on the charts. This week it slipped to No.32 down from No.30, no doubt due to that what the fuck of a video. Honestly. Who told Beyonce that dancing like a psychotic spasmic freak of nature was a brilliant idea? Not ot mention the song is devoid of any remotely interesting hooks or a chorus. Lazy is what I call it. Just lazy. She applied herself on "Crazy In Love", determined to keep up with that groove and those horns before they ran her over and smashed that beautiful face into the asphault. "Deja Vu" is a lackluster attempting-to-be-funky-but-really-just-dull exercise in overhauled funk and bass crap. Bah. I'm thoroughly disappointed. Even the new Christina Aguilera single is better, and for me to admit that is indeed a huge problem.
