BEYONCE COVERS ESSENCE MAGAZINE

Wednesday, August 2, 2006

bee3.jpg

Beyonce will be on the September cover of Essence magazine. MTV.com was able to give a sneak peak of the article and the pictures featured in this issue:

When it came time to record B’Day, Beyoncé was inspired by the creative approach that Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella artists take, the singer told Essence in the magazine’s September cover story.”They usually have a bunch of producers in the studio at one time in different rooms,” she explained. “They get this positive competitive energy going.” When it came time to lay down her own tracks, Beyoncé followed Jay’s lead. “I rented the studio and had different producers in three different rooms. It was so much fun and no pressure.” And Jay and B didn’t worry that the stress of working together on “Deja Vu” would impact their relationship — because the rapper’s part on the track was never planned. “But once he heard it, I saw his lips start moving,” Beyoncé told the magazine. “So I was like, ‘Would you like to go into the studio and record what you just did?’ Now we joke about how we’re going to have enough songs to put out a little compilation record.”

Ok, she looks beautiful as always. Very cute pics.
But this is too much. She is everywhere. For her own good, I wish she would take a break, eat a sandwich, relax, lay up with Jay, do something else Beyonce, but by all means, no more camera’s, no more media, this is Beyonce information overload. There is a huge case of obessive compulsive work disorder. Relax homie for real. At least wait until after your cd drops.

She would benefit from taking the rest of the year off and just being herself, shopping, and enjoying her hard work, shit laying up with Jay.

these pictures are funny…they look like some myspace pictures…that ppl take at home when they get bored and need to update the page. LOL

As far as how she looks…she looks like Beyonce…the same damn way she look everywhere else.

OVEREXPOSURE KILLED THE POP/R&B STAR…she getting to that level and once u get there the only place is to down down down down…that’s not hating, that’s science, what goes up must come down

Can Beyonce not do her thing and some people just shut up?

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

Now, I’m a huge Beyonce fan, but I’m getting tired of seeing Beyonce’s face. (God, she’s beautiful!)

It sounds like they had a “bunch” of fun in the studio, and it also sounds like Jay-Z could probaly lead Beyonce to anything…like, oh, getting eye level with his KNOB like she’s about to suck a bar of gold or something…

Maybe I’m reading too much into it.

Nah…

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

overexposure is not good..even when she wasn’t doing anything she was still always THERE..fans are fickle, which is probably why she is getting an overabundance of hatred morseo than before. Now Bey deserves her accolades but the chile works hard, but she needs to give time to miss her so she CAN be appreciated.

(37)Well the time when she is gonna be missed is not gonna be any time soo because ,duh, she’s about to put out an album and what she is doing is no different then any other superstar when they are about to put out an album, movie, whatever…they promote their shit!…and I think it’s better for an artist to do too much promotion for whatever they got goin on then to not do enough because when you don’t promote enough, your shit ends up flopping…

Damn she fine, look jus like my ex., after a few straight shots of patron.

saturdai

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

you know if she went away for a while, people would actually miss her more and she’ll be even stronger than before. damn take a couple of years off like mariah or mary. did mary ever put out back to back stuff? no, she’d fall off for a while and when she said she was back i was running to get the album

43.

saturdai

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

lemme guess these are the HOD clothes again? because on MTV.com she’s describing the outfits

44.

Conscientious

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

I am not a fan by far…but I have been noticing more folks not feeling her for whatever reasons lately. I dunno….I used to not believe in overexposure…but now I am beginning to. I just think by human nature folks like to root for the underdog. Once your on top, its like…what else is there to win, get or accomplish that you haven’t already?

She should probably call Usher or Justin Timberflake for some pointers…they were on top, but took nice breaks..folks actually missed them. So now Justin is posed to do his thang again….just sayin.

45.

I’m tired of her telling the same tired ass story, I could really care less.

And one more thing…lol…I think I would like SWSNBN more if she wasn’t clearly so Jay obsessed. I mean damn….it doesn’t seem like she has a identity at all. First it was her dad pulling the buttons…now it seems like its Jay.

What happened to the independent woman with her own mind? It is like she regressed instead of grew into her own. It is nothing wrong with loving, supporting and being there for your man…but damn. Can I see a who you are at least once without him being there assisting?

Say what you want about Keyshia Cole, at least I know what she believes in, and she stands by them. Even ole arrogant ass Kayne stood up for something at least once. lol…..

damn, some of these so call fans so damn fickle.i mean what do u expect her to do, not promote her album???come on now, she gotta promote it, just like any other artist.like someone mentioned earlier(#34) even when she’s not active, her presence is still felt, definately a force to be reckon with. she definately deserves all the accolades and recognition for her hard work, and to be frank, thank God for beyonce, coz can none of these r&b chicks bring it like beyonce. on the other hand, she just so photogenic and beautiful in them pics, even more gorgeous in person(met her b4 in person).she can get it any damn time…

Same ol’ Bey.. nothing new..same facial hair , make-up and facial expressions. i must admit.. was a fan in ‘97 but my taste un music has changed to more adult type music.. she’s never left that kiddie-pop realm.

I understand the need for marketing and promotion. I also understand that Beyonce has a number of ventures/projects going on right now, but I’m getting sick of seeing her everywhere.

She must have 15 magazine spreads out right now. It’s all too much.

54.

SONYA

@#53, I agree, I am kinda tired of seeing her, not hating at all, she is very beautiful and talented, but she needs to hand over the torch for a little while.

The girl is about to drop a new album….so why would she lay low? She’s doing exactly what she is supposed to be doing! Being a star is her job just like all of us have jobs.

Everyone might as well get used to seeing her because she gonna be out for a while. Sorry.

If you don’t like it, you might want to go into seclusion or something….

Why should she stop? damn, its promotion for her album, ya’ll actin like she drives up and down ur street in a parade everyday begging u 2 look at her. It also isn’t logical to see a picture of Beyonce, click the link to see even more Beyonce, and then say u tired of seeing Beyonce. Naturally, B looks flawless, CL keep the Beyonce posts coming!

Ever hear the saying, there’s no such thing as bad publicity?? Most of us are getting tired of seeing B on here but you know whose fault that is partially? Angel.La!! She’s in charge of this site, she’s in control of what’s posted and she’s the one that keeps putting these pictures up. And do you know why she does it folks? Becuase she gets PAID to do it. Every click = $$ for her and her cohorts. I’m no huge B fan, although I give her props for being the hardest working female in the biz right now. But she’s not doing it alone. She has PLENTY of help. B ought to be paying Angel for all the free publicity she’s getting.

And no, I’m not trying to start a blacklash against Angel.La. I’m just giving some of you food for thought. I love this site but it’s getting a little repetitious with the B fan/stan/hater/can take her or leave her posts. Everyone says the same exact thing all the time; just in a different way. It never changes and it’s becoming really boring to read. Yeah, it’s getting real old.

Anyway, it’s just my two cents; love it or leave it.

Beyonce looks great in those pics. And actually if her and Jay did put out a compilation CD I think I’d cop it. They have some tight songs together.

(posted by Tianna) LOL (just saying). And if u think Angel has some Beyonce conspiracy going on (ridiculous) then her evil lil plan is working cuz there you go commenting in the same damn beyonce post. (Ps ms_mac1, u should really take ur meds) lol (just saying).

Awwwwww! I think B and Jay are sweet!

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

She is talented but she does need to give it a break, b/c we know how folks get tired of seeing you and hearing you say the same old things. It could be a bad backlash if she keeps up the overexposure, especially since that first song off her album is crap.

69.

Bruno

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

Too much, way too soon for a CD out in September. She is really starting the hype machine very early. And it may backfire on her.

I think that I like the old “Writing’s on the Wall” Beyonce as opposed to this hyper kinetic seizure dance act she has going on. She was much more calm. I thought you were supposed to get better with age, but it seems like all the Pro Woman, Ms. Independant, Strong Girl stuff was just an act. Now she needs Soldiers, Has an urge to Cater 2 a Man, dances like a chicken head patting her itchy cornrows in a Pepto Bismol commercial, and now she made an uncohesive music video where she is just all over the place. And her lack of choreography is unfortunate (couple that with the Jem sparkles that are hanging over her head and it becomes tragic.)

Beyonce needs to grow up. I still don’t see any individual creativity or innovation. I’m sure she is capable of more. But right now she needs to chill.

THANKS #2! I never knew what the heck a stan was either! lol….

Oh yeah, Its time for B to do a dramatic change to the hair. I’m bored already. she needs to go red or something.

Who is Beyonce? And what does she do? Sing?

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

@ Barbados-Boi you a perfect example of one of the stans we talking about. Always try to chop somebody esle down when they didn’t say nothing negative bout your precious beyonce. Who said anything about a conspiracy? The girl was just giving her opinion, and fo your info angel.la run this site, not tiana

73.

Dave

Wednesday, August 2, 2006 /

I also love CL but the simple fact is that they post a lot of magazine covers which Beyonce happens to be on. I beleive that a lot of my Beyonce (over)exposure comes from visiting these black blog sites. Whether its a hate post or a love post she is all over these blogs. Many of us are not in the grocery store all day looking at magazines so we wouldnt see all these Beyonce pics if we didnt catch them here. So whose to blame for the over exposure? Its ourselves. You cant get mad at the hot stove if you keep putting your hand on it.

74.

She looks nice in the pictures, as usual.

Ive heard this same interview when she was on BET. By the time the CD drops she is not going to have any more stories to tell. They are all the same. Her father didn’t know…….. Jay was rapping under his breath…..
Im going to need for her to tell a new story.
