WHY I LOVE BEYONCE'S NEW SONG "BOW DOWN"!!!

Before I go any further I think it's only fair that I let you know that I am a HUGE Beyonce fan. Some of my co-workers, Ryan Cameron and Big Tigger, think that I may need help with my Beyonce obsession as they would call it. So how do I feel about her new song, "Bow Down"?

Quite frankly, I LOVE IT! When I first heard it I was screaming, YESSSSS! To me it's about time that Beyonce has put on her "Kanye West" ego hat as I like to call it, and let all the haters know that she is the QUEEN. Point blank period. 

Rapper's do it all the time. Every rap song is always about how that particular rapper is the best so why can't "King Bey" do the same? 

There is a lot of talk about whether or not this song is demeaning to woman because she utilizes the "B-word" several times throughout it. Honestly, I do not understand what is the big deal? It's just a word that many people use all the time. Get over it already! Yes, it's not a song that you may want your little girl to sing but does she always have to make a song that your little girl can sing??? 

Let's be clear, Beyonce is not talking to all women in this song when she uses the the "B-word". She is talking to the woman who think they can dethrone her from her crown. Plenty of singers for years have made subliminal jabs at Beyonce in their songs. Beyonce finally has taking off her "Mary Poppins Perfect Girl" crown and is letting all these ladies have it. Again, I love it! I especially love how in the promotional picture for "Bow Down" she is pictured as a little girl with several trophies she has won standing behind her.  

I seriously look at this song as another woman's empowerment song. That might sound crazy to some but let me explain why. In this song Beyonce is singing from her perspective and basically she is saying in so many words that she has been doing this for a long time, don't get it twisted. This is a song that all woman can apply to their own lives. 

For example, imagine that you have been at your job for ten years and then a younger girl gets hired and has this attitude that she is going to take your spot. "Bow Down" would be your anthem. Or imagine you have been with your guy for over twelve years, you have three beautiful kids together and there is another woman who thinks she can take your man, "Bow Down" would be your anthem. 

Recently I was on "ShowBiz Tonight" and host AJ Hammer and I were discussing this song and he stated that some people think that Beyonce is trying to keep up with Rihanna by being vulgar and raunchy with "Bow Down". What?!??!

 Check out the video to see what I had to say about that.
