Oi! Beyoncé Slaughters Alanis

Categories: Concert News


What the fuck is this shit? Beyoncé kicked off her I Am... tour in Edmonton, Canada last week. Since then, this video clip of her covering Alanis Morisette's "You Oughta Know" has taken over YouTube... and it sucks.

"You Oughta Know" isn't meant to be sung by a glamazon in stiletto heels. And it surely isn't meant to be sung without the line "Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?" This is an angst-filled breakup anthem for women who are really fucking pissed off--something Beyoncé can't quite pull off.

Make no mistake, I'm excited for Ms. Knowles' concert at Key Arena tomorrow. But if she opts to cover Alanis again, I will be using that time to go and buy a drink or use the restroom.
