But while Sasha may be getting all the fame, she's not Beyonce's only alter ego.
"They call me 'Hurricane Beyonce,'" the singer tells PopEater. "Whenever I walk in a room, you give it about 10 minutes, my purse, my shoes -- everything -- is all over the place."
"Hurricane Beyonce" sounds more like a superhero than an alternate persona, but the perfectionist admits that her messiness keeps her sane. "I'm extremely organized with my work. I'm very detail-oriented and a little bit crazy. So when I come home I don't want to think about anything. I don't want to be put together. I just completely destroy everything."

Chris Gaines wasn't an 'alter ego' of Garth Brooks, there was actually supposed to be a movie (and that CD was a pre-sound track CD for that movie) but when the execs got more mail disliking the whole idea of Garth Brooks having an alter ego and questioning the whole thing, the movie was shelved. Brooks was commended for 'taking risks' with his music and career but honestly without the movie and only a mockumentary and a pre-sound track for a movie that was never seen it made Brooks look rather lame for wanting an 'alter ego'. -----------------------------------------------JBaer10314 08:47 PMNov 19 2008 Anyone remember the last time a singer created an alter ego?

Alot of these pop divas were calling Bjork weird just a few years ago. So I really don't understand now.... How weird is Bjork? I think the term is pretty relative. Don't you?

Some people have a reading comprehension problem, Beyonce is not a rapper, the article states she is an R&B singer.
