Dramatic Diva Monologues (UPDATE)

The Beyoncélogues are Back With 'Single Ladies'

— July 24, 2014 — Pop Culture
Nina Millin has returned with a brand-spankin-new video for her hilarious YouTube series 'The Beyoncelogues.'

Millin has made a name for herself by reciting the pop star's lyrics as spoken word poems. Karaoke disaster or high-level art? Personally, I think it falls directly in between, landing smack-dab on "pure comedic gold."

In the past, Millin has tackled hits such as 'Best Thing I Never Had' and 'Mine.'Now, she's taking a stab at 'Single Ladies' (otherwise known as the song most likely to be played during the bouquet toss at every wedding from here on out). Unlike the other two, Single Ladies is an uptempo jam about enjoying the single life (much to the chagrin of your useless ex). But when you strip away the music and add Millen's Shakespearean flair, it becomes equally as emotional.
Trend Themes
1. Spoken-word Performances - Creating spoken-word performances of popular songs, like 'The Beyoncelogues,' taps into the trend of combining comedy and high-level art.
2. Music Parodies - Making comedic parodies of popular music, as seen in 'The Beyoncelogues,' capitalizes on the trend of using humor and satire to recontextualize songs.
3. Viral Youtube Series - Producing YouTube series that gain widespread attention, such as 'The Beyoncelogues,' reflects the trend of online content creation and consumption.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment Industry - The entertainment industry can explore opportunities to create more spoken-word performances and music parodies that blend comedy and high-level art.
2. Social Media Platforms - Social media platforms can leverage the popularity of viral YouTube series like 'The Beyoncelogues' to attract and engage users with unique and entertaining content.
3. Event Planning Industry - The event planning industry can incorporate music parodies, such as 'The Beyoncelogues,' into weddings and other events to add a fun and unexpected twist.
