VIDEO Spotlight: Dance For You by Beyonce


Although not a big fan of Beyonce, I do admire her talent and success. One can not deny that yes, she is by far one of the top 5 triple threats in the entertainment business (singing, dancing, and acting). However, in my opinion she can't touch Janet Jackson, Madonna or even Cher in these categories. Her singing is overrated, her dancing is seductive and her acting is just mediocore. However, her drive as an entertainer is commanding with great discipline and her creativity as a music producer and writer is effortless as she pens hit after hit of girl-power anthems. What I love about the "Dance For You" video is it appeals to the grown and sexy woman who knows what she wants and not afraid to show it. The song showcases Beyonce's evolution as a writer to appeal to a more mature audience. I grew up listening to Destiny's Child and watched as each artist developed their own solo careers. So although Beyonce has a strong fan base of 18-24, B is 30 years old and reaching a new level of personal success in her life. She is a wife now to rap mogul Jay-Z and soon-to-be mother. She deserves to be commended no matter how indifferent I or others may feel about her talent. You "can't knock the hustle" (as stated best by Jay-Z). Beyonce is a go-getter and this is the side of "Sasha Fierce" I like.
