Why Did Sasha Fierce Only Score a 5.7?
at 53:07
Sasha Fierce scored a 5.7. A co-host says the album contains If I Were a Boy, Halo, and Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It). For the three tracks alone, the co-host calls the record one of the greatest pop albums of all time, because the songs are three of the greatest pop songs of all time.
One panelist says the review hated the concept album, so a new look still treats the record as mixed and lands like a low eight, even with the number going way past the fives. The co-host agrees the reviewers stay sticky about the alter ego, brings up Chris Gaines, and guesses the mid eights. One panelist adds that a compilation of skits from Bloodhound Gang records with Single Ladies on it would still sit at least in the seventies.
The room cannot settle the rescore on the spot. The co-host says the new number is coming eventually.
