The Freemasons, Beyonce, And The Thrill Of The Histrionic Diva House Anthem
Despite our housebound reputation, even bloggers like to occasionally go out and shake what passes for our stuff. That's why every two weeks Idolator club guru Tim Finney will be dragging us onto the dancefloor to explore the latest sounds from the worlds of house, techno, and beyond. After the jump, he gives himself over to the martial beat of the Freemasons, finds out what happens when R&B divas become unwitting weapons in the "gay house" arsenal, and offers tantalizing clues to what Beyonce's next move might sound like.
Why Is She Famous?
The central figure for R&B group Destiny's Child, Beyonce was the talent behind such smash hits as "Say My Name," "No, No, No" and "Independent Women." Venturing out on her own, it was no surprise that her debut solo album, 2003's Dangerously In Love, garnered her five Grammy Awards in a single night. Of course, Beyonce also acts; you can see her foxy self in Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), The Fighting Temptations (2003), The Pink Panther (2006), and Dreamgirls (2006).
