Beyoncé is changing her name and, no, she won't be asking you to call her B-yiddy or Be-Yo — instead, the R&B megastar has chosen something far more ANTM-worthy: Sasha Fierce.

Sooo...do you think Tyra had a hand in this? Hmmm. Definitely a possibility.

The R&B singer has christened herself Sasha Fierce for her new double album, I Am ... Sasha Fierce, due in US stores on November 18, and has released a lengthy justification for the comical moniker.

She insists Sasha Fierce is who she really is, and is more fun, sensual, aggressive, outspoken and glamorous.

But who is Sasha Fierce?

Um, didn't we just answer that...?

Seriously, Sasha, what are you going to do next -- ask us to say your new name?

It's all about being in the headlines......why do you think Prince changed his name....to be talked about.  The more you are in the headlines....the more ppl talk and pay attention.....it's all money.

stupid attempt at a career revival i never liked her cause she seems to try too hard from her singing to even her dancing its not fluid ..and now this making up some stupid as5 name to garner attention but her first name sounds like a dog and the 2nd name is what her pudgy butt does when their is food around

She has made such a big name for herself as Beyonce that I don't think this new name will even stick.  She will always be known as Beyonce.

I really don't think it is a career move.  It is more spriritual than professional and even Beyonce doesn't likely understand what is going on.

Sasha Fierce? Are you kidding me? That is the most ridiculous name I have ever heard. Ever. Anyone who tries to make Fierce their last name needs to get their head checked. Beyonce is making an ass of herself and I hope she gives up on the new name within a year so that I don't have to hear any more about it.

Idiosyncratic.

Who the hell is Sasha Fierce? I mean come on. This is just pathetic. More spunky or whatever it said up there? You need a new name to be able to show certain attitudes.

And the grammar on here just irks me.

EX.

She doin ha thang and is ok u know?

I can't even read half the comments people leave on here.
