Random Thought: I must say that aside from getting mad over people comparing her to Madonna and Janet and such, I've warmed up to Beyonce a lot over the past year. I appreciate the fact that she embodies American culture without being remotely embarrassing or standoffish, and she garners respect on the world stage. I like that, between she and GaGa, the US is still ******** on everybody else in the pop spectrum, and we do it with class. Maybe they're not so original, but they're respectable.
Have you heard this? It's not in very good quality but it's still nice. She covers Prince's "The Beautiful Ones" @ around 2:30.
