It's the same type of thing that Beyonce is talking about. The difference is that she's a performer/artist and overly dramatic about what she does.
Sigh. Here we go with this again. I'll say to you what I said to the others. What evidence do you have to back up this claim? How do you know she's just acting? What in her words indicates that it was nothing but a metaphor? What context clues indicate she was not being literal?

No entertainer gets on stage with the same personality they have off it.
They aren't really channeling demons, they are just getting into character.
I make music and a lot of my friends do as well, many of us can be shy off stage, but you'd never know it if a show was your only exposure to them. In person I'm a mellow calm person, but that's not entertaining so I'd have to summon my inner bad ass.
Have you ever written a song?
It's funny to me when I see all you people seeing lyrics like eminem's and you take them literally. It's artistic expressions, we use similes, metaphors, and imagery to convey what we are saying. It's ART!
I'm not a demon but If I say I feel like a caged demon,

Acording to this dude it's very possible to evoke demons or spirits and there's also a differance with being possesed by demons and being obssessed by demons. Both equally dangerous.
Why are you still asking people to show you where it looks like she might be talking metaphorically? It's right there.

It definitely could be mind control. If it is, though, then they are still manipulating these people to use this symbolism and everything else, to promote their agenda to the masses.

And she literally said she felt a presence enter into her body.
So she's either lying in one of those instances or there's an explanation for both. That she felt that presence enter her body and she created a name to go with it for when it manifests itself.
I'll keep asking that question as long as you all keep claiming it was a metaphor without providing some sort of reference or context clue from that clip which shows she was not speaking literally.

Or she tends to speak metaphorically.
In this vid she claims to "keep Sasha on the stage" implying that it is something she controls.
And in this one she she says she killed Sasha because it is really all her. When asked about a new persona she says "I think Sasha Fierce is a part of me. That is why the name of the Album is I am Sasha Fierce because it is all the same. She lives within. My alter ego, you know, everybody has one".

She uses phrases like "I killed her" and "she lives within" in the same breath. How can something be alive anywhere if she killed it? It can't, if you are speaking literally, so logically she isn't.
If you don't see it then it is because you don't want to.

Every, huh? Hmm. An absolute statement. I bet you can't back that up at all.
Another absolute statement. I completely challenge that. I'm a performer and I am the same person on and off-stage. And I've never said a presence entered my body
So again I ask where do you get that she was speaking metaphorically? What in her statement in the OP says she was not being literal? What context clues? I love how people keep ignoring those questions.
Many. Since I was 15. I'm 33 now.
Not all art is metaphor. You're kidding, right?
That's a clear simile. I feel "like" a caged demon. That's really different from saying "My soul is possessed by this devil"
