I agree with MrsJones . . . first off, Sasha is not new . . . it's simply a safe haven that gives her the confidence she needs to show her ass on stage . . . she is just doing something different and bringing both sides together to say I am Sasha Fierce . . . as far as the glove, I think is has been blown out of proportion and hopefully she will remove it to symbolize that the gloves are off . . . as far as the first week records sales being 482,000 . . . it was still #1 and that counts for something . . . you guys are forgeting that it has been 2 years since she dropped an album. To compare her to MJB and A. Keys is unnecessary, all 3 women are great in there own right . . . not to mention they are constantly competing for the same awards . . . I have seen A. Keys in concert and that was a hell of a show . . . she doesn't just sit behind the piano, she entertains you . . . promotion is something that is major and she does do mad promo, but she is a major part of the promo for Cadiallac Records . . . which she only has a small part in towards the end of the movie . . . but she is such a huge name, they are counting on that and her fans to go see the movie, hence the reason she sings At Last everyway . . . killing two birds with one stone . . . the girl is talented and to take that away from her to uplift another artist is uncalled for . . . MJB is the Queen of R & B, so she has made her place in the industry and some refer to her as an icon . . . you guys even put Rihanna in this . . . she does not belong in the same category as the three women at all . . . there are enough fans for them all
