Beyonce Talks About Becoming Sasha

Bey was featured in the latest issue of V Magazine, in which she talks about her ritual of becoming Sasha Fierce, her alter ego.

“It’s funny because right before the show I’m under the stage making sure my double-stick is in the right place, my pack is turned on, and my shoes have the stickies on the bottom so I don’t slip—all of these things that are so not glamorous. Then I take my last sip of water, clear my throat, close my eyes, and tell myself, You are fierce. You are fierce. You are fierce! And the second I take that first step and hear that crowd, I kind of transform. By the time I get up to the stage, I’m in the zone. I don’t feel anything anymore. Like if I’m in pain or if I’m nervous it kind of becomes, I don’t know how to describe it, I become that other thing. It’s like I’m ready for war.” Source
Someone really needs to stop her from talking. She usually ends up sounding dumb or crazy…or in this case, both. Every time she opens her mouth an angel cries. Sigh.
