Beyonce has declared herself a feminist, which some people totally love and some people don't understand — often because they can't see past the fact that she totally owns her sexuality on stage. So let's take away the fantastic glittery skin-tight costumes, sexy body, and ah-mazing dance moves, and just listen to the lyrics to some of her best songs with an open mind. Here they're delivered as spoken-word poems, and by listening to them this way, you might find it easier to hear the empowering feminist messages in her songs too.
These readings of "Single Ladies," "If I Were a Boy," and "Irreplaceable" were created by Nina Millin on the Little BoBo YouTube channel. Follow her on Twitter for more Beyoncélogues! I found this GIF by Shidokht Shafei on the MTV Style Tumblr, as seen in this Upworthy post. The Beyoncé songs that inspired these dramatic readings: "Irreplaceable," "Single Ladies," and "If I Were a Boy."
