    É um álbum com menos sentido do que os outros, mas não deixa de mostrar força, não deixa de faltar carisma. Tem sons incríveis, melodias cativantes e as danças são melhores ainda. Perfeito!!

    Beyonce is a living legend of our time, undervalued for the great artist who is none like her
    The greats masterpiece

    Un álbum que hasta ahora divide a fans pero encanta al público en general. Así como sus fans, el álbum está dividido en dos partes, o mejor dicho, Beyoncé se divide en la mujer empoderada y feroz que todos amamos en los escenarios (Sasha Fierce) y la Beyoncé del día a día, mas delicada pero sin perder su ferocidad en cuanto talento e impacto.

    This is one of my most favorite albums of all time. Far from her best as a body of work but the tracks on here resonate to my teenage memories. The I Am individual tracks stand on their own as great, emotional, and sometimes cheesy ballads. The Sasha Fierce side of the album was experimental for Beyoncé at the time where she succeeded in most, save for the track list sequencing.

    Hello is a masterpiece. My absolute favorite song from the album. Halo is a classic

    The queen has found her throne, in a black and white art work. Spacey choreography and angelic vocals are just the tip of the iceberg. Power to women, independence, sex, love and prayers, in enveloping sounds. With this album Beyoncé has put the ring on the finger of show business.

    At this album Beyonce has many iconics songs that will be play in the radio in next 100 years. That's for sure. Problem with this album is I don't feel Beyonce in more of the songs in this album but who cares!
    At this album are truly iconic songs like "If I were a boy", "Diva", "Halo", "Sweet Dreams". "Single Ladies", "Why Don't You Love Me". Thanks for them.

    Estou dando nota 10 em todos os álbuns da Beyoncé porque ela merece. Com certeza, esse álbum que tem hits como If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, Halo merece nota 10. Eu amo você, Beyoncé. Amei a Era IASF.

    Beyoncé's third solo studio album becomes my favorite to date. The decisions made on this album are some of the best I have seen from the singer. I loved seeing two sides of Bey with the ballads showing off her vocals and then the dance-pop infused second side of the record. Even though the two sides are meant to be completely different, they mesh so well together and make one greatBeyoncé's third solo studio album becomes my favorite to date.

There are some minor issues with a few tracks and I wish the singles wouldn't be the best part of the album again but they are, but the album as a whole is a beauty and deserves all of the success it has earned.

    The perfect impulse she need to conquer the radios. Its her most ''pop'' album. It has her best selling song Halo and the rest of the songs are vehicles to a relaxing place. After this she fired her father and starter her own thing. She took the power and now she is working more and more on her legacy

    Simply Iconic and memorable. With hits that just keeps on giving. While Halo and Single Ladies are the clear highlights here. Sweet Dreams, Hello, Smash Into You and Radio and Disappear are tunes you won't want to overlook

    Amazing album! Love how she showed to different sides of herself with the first half ("I am...") and the second half ("Sasha Fierce"). Hopefully she brings Sasha Fierce back!!

    Thought it appears to be her weakest album, it is a great two-disc record. She showcased her alter ego and her own self perfectly on this album. There are a few generic tracks, but it's mostly an outstanding pop album. The "I Am.." part of the record, as everyone knows, is one of the highlighted vocal moments in her career.

    Great album ! The idea of separate the album in two parts with one containing ballades and acoustics songs whereas the second containing more dynamics songs is a real good thing ! It's a complete album with a good direction !

    Que gran clásico dentro del R&B, buenas letras, buenos ritmos y buenos vocales,pero no me vende lo que en realidad quiero, puede tener una estética agradable al publico, con un gran recopilatorio de singles, pero no todas las canciones suenan a lo que me gustaría haber escuchado de principio a fin, sin embargo hay que pulir bien al escucharlo, para poder entender el porqué.

    Beyonce at her core has proven to be a student of music, particularly of the R and B genre, but with each album she has experimented with other flavors. This album amazingly brings so many sounds together while still sounding like one. Clearly Beyonce's best album by far, and arguably the best mainstream album in the last decade.

    ore. You can tell all of her songs came from the heart. The only thing that I have to say is that I don't think "Run The World (Girls)" fits into the album AT ALL. Other than that, the album is flawle

    She's not there yet, but the effort is fascinating, and hopefully she will keep on this path.

    While an interesting concept, neither CD contains enough strong material to match up to either of her previous releases, and at times, the constant barrage of R&B cliches and adult-contemporary production make it sound like Beyonce is rapidly transforming from hot, hip pop goddess to your standard bored diva.
  3. I Am...Sasha Fierce does offer two compelling sides of the singer.
