she looks hot!
good marketing.. it makes me want to buy that suit ready for summer.

she looks ok but she aint all that i hav seen better pics of her

sport illustrated will be seen by alot more readers than vogue thats for sure. more men will pick up sport ill. than vogue. another cover to add to beyonces collection.

oh well she is getting paid alot more money than me to be on this cover and i am sure alot more than the people that posted here. laughing all the way to the bank with jennifer in the same suv. lol

yea yea yea whatever J-hud first black singer to be on Vogue and Beyonce on Sports Illustarted-boring on both sides.

That Oscar is the only thing that matters.

I knew she was going to be on the cover of something soon enough, she looks great.

LMAO, oh shit @ #41..haha

Now you see, here is the golden example, Beyonce is thick and looks good, but not fat, she keeping her shit tight and stomach flat. Is this too much to ask for, at least while yall young? Strive to look like dem video model chicks or strippers, ladies. Black women got some nice curvy bodies, but too many of yall got it hiding under some thick ass fat, talking about..” Oh thats how all black women are shaped.” Fuck dat, i been to parts of Africa and parts of South America, where they got a large amount of black ppl for those dat didn’t know, and ya’ll lie, cuz i didn’t see that, and i like to observe local females on my trips, when i venture out tourist areas.

For people who keeping count don’t you think it’s a shame that there sren’t more covers with ‘black’ females. I may be a pessimist but I don’t think it’s a great thing to help sell magazines that clearly don’t take your kind seriously…cause u know the myth that ‘black’ people don’t read….
That My Two Cents…..other than that she looks great…nice suit
And it’s not a motherfucking competition….both women deserves props and support (without the obsession please)

I mean, she looks good or whatever, I cant even hate on that, but I am just sick of seeing her everywhere. Magazines, all over T.V. Could we see someone else for a while. She is taking over the industry!!

“this prostitude” like some of you said is doing great - this gurl is still doing her thing, whatever yall can say - Go bee u already know uR the bEst - FUCK ALL DA HATAZZZZZZZZZZZS yeah baby

this is turning out to be a good black history month

@ #55 CO-SIGN,

HERE COMES THE HATERS AND NAYSAYERS TRYING TO DOWNPLAY HER ACHIEVEMENT.

___________________________________________________

Achievement?

How has Beyonce’s “achievement” contributed to the likes of African American culture or to the fabric of society as a whole? Oh yeah that’s right, my bad… she’s “BOOTYLICIOUS”. Oh boy,that’s one hell of an achievement. A real winner.

Take a look at Beyonce’s moral compass, wake up and stop the worshipping…

WHO CARES ABOUT THIS COVER OR HER?neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxttttttttttttttt

lolololololololo wat eva airbrushed and photoshopped, and a lacefront. STANS KISS MY BLACK ASS in advance. because bey is not that small lolololololoolool and she has stretch marks wat eva

I read over at Celebrity Smack that it took 5 hours to airbush Beyonce ….why, 2 words (Cottage Cheese)

LMAO @ # 89 AND 90

#28 you should git the oscar for that comment “applause” you r so right where is jayz any respectable man would let her know that this is unexceptable. she is determined to git her statis back up. sports ill is not it being gone for a while will do the trick. bey lay low for a while it was her man that sed git out while your still big, she gitting smaller lololoooooololololol

SMH @ some of these comments. The f/stans need any reason to downplay Jennifer’s success. Bash all you want but she still has some major accomplishments. All the negative talk won’t change that so give it up.

And the “haters” want to act like a Sport Illustated cover means nothing. Question: if someone other than Beyonce got this cover, would you be downplaying the magazine’s significance? Somehow, I doubt you would be. Is the magazine prestigious? No. But is the swimsuit issue a very coveted one? Doesn’t take a stan to realize that it is. Congrats to Beyonce for getting it! She looks beautiful.

Classy, cute, and sexy… Now that’s the way to take a picture in a swim suit and not look like a slut-bunny… Do your thang girl!!!

Beautiful. Never disputed the fact the Bee is pretty esp. when she isnt trying to hard.

the piece she wore was from the house of dereon, which is brill 2 know 2.

BTW Big happy v-day to everyone esp to my favourite artists:
Kelis and Nas.( May ur luv last 4eva)
Monica
Joss Stone
Tedra Moses
Anthony Hamilton
Jay & Bee
Damien Marley
Jill Scott

@ 68 BABYBOSS, it’s too obvious that it’s the same people. LOL

Let me start by saying that I am not a Beyonce fan and never was.

I’m gonna give the girl her due props, because it doesn’t matter if I don’t like her music much and think she’s overrated, or disagree with a lot of the things she does, Beyonce is making history.

She may be the “only 2nd” black woman but she IS on it before a lot of white models and sports women and before ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM WHITE SINGER. They could have picked Britney Spears at her peak, or Christina Aguilera, even Shakirah, but they chose Beyonce as the very first singer, and second black female, to grace the cover. It took them 10 YEARS to put another black face on this magazine so this is an accomplishment in itself.

People wanna prove whether Tyra Banks is prettier than Beyonce or not. You know what, I think the media and people need to stop putting women against each other comparing them particularly when they are obviously equally beautiful. Had it been something totally uncomparable like Star Jones vs. Gabrielle Union, I could comprehend, but both Tyra and Beyonce are beauties, and I embrace and applaud BOTH of MY SISTERS for making history.

Beyonce has her blessings, Tyra has hers, JHud covering Vogue or winning the Golden Globe has hers. Congratulations on everyone. All of those women are successful and living the great life, so I guess they must be doing something right.

And by the way, Beyonce looks too cute and classy on this cover at the beach, happy, serene and relaxed. She did her thing!
__________
Chante -
like many of your comments, very well stated, and nothing to add, but worth repeating… so I did.

She looks pretty…

TO ALL YOU HATERS HIS HER BIG A$$. I will buy the mag. because we need more african american women on S.I. She rocking that suit. you still holding black women up . Thanks B.

I am so tired of people saying that Beyonce is this and that and J hud is this and that and Tyra is this compare to this person and that person. Why are some putting fire where there is no need. Tyra loves Beyonce completely as a friend. Vice versa. J Hud has no problem with Beyonce becuse she Knows that Beyonce is a bigger star then her and I bet they are friends to. Yall make’in a big deal out of nothin. We should give praise to all these beutiful women, cuz it a hard industry to be in. Yes I know some one is always going to have a hater on their jock and yes I know its just your view, But still you have to give up to both girls cuz they are doin big thangs in entertainment today. Yes the cover is sexy with a taste of class. Beyonce big upps. Just because he her manager does not mean he controls her life, she can do what ever she wants and all he does is give her business side of things. So stop wit tha papa knowles and the mama Knowles junk cuz its getting tired. I am not a stan cuz I like many other celebs 2 so dont get it twisted. She is not overrated either. Haters always talkin, just dont watcher or read about her.

I love Beyonce - i love her grace and humilit - Mama Knowles and Papa Knowles did a good job - she is not like the most young artist out there, for that alone i say kudos tothe knowles.

Beyonce IS - WAs and WILL ALWAYS BE BEYONE - no one can take that away from her even if she takes a 5 yr break, just like no one can take Michael Jackson or Whitney Houstons place.

I am a black woman but not from the states, i was utterly shock how so many black females hate Beyonce here in USA, i mean you dont see that over in Europe nor do you see Whites hating on Britney Spears.

Someday if i had one question to ask Beyonce - i’ll ask her how she coped with all this hate for so long - i mean she must have really tough skin to put up with this, cos regardless of whether she reads all the BS or not, i am sure she at least hears it. Yall haters should ask ya self if you had a sister and everybody hates on here this much - how would you feel. And whosaid there wasnt room enough for all Jhud and Bee - why the comparisons all the time.

i have come to a conclusion most of you black american females must have a lot of self hate and to make yall self feel good you hate on some one good.

And its ok - cos at the end of the day i think yall represent a small minority of the population anyway.

Look in the mirror and ask ya self why do i hate on Bee so much. Have you ever met the woman. Whats the real deal - you really want to be her dont you?

And on that note - i dont give a monkey fck if you call me a stan or whatever the fk yall say - I love Beyonce - I support her and always will - there is nobody like her- and that sports illustrated photos are descent and nice.

I can’t stand Beyonce or Jennfer Hudson anymore. This whole Dreamgirls who gets to be on which magazine cover needs to stop. House of Dereon looks so damn cheap!

Beyonce looks cute here. Mama Tina did a good job on this swimsuit. It’s sexy but conservative. HOD needs a major overhaul, but this piece is actually cute.

DAMN!

Black women always hate on beautiful, successful, slim, fair skinned black women. FACT!its hurts y’all to see B doin so well don’t it.

Hate all you want but the more you do the more it shows B’s success/beauty etc gets to you lol

go head B & do ur thang. if the black women won’t support u lord knows who will

@# 14 Wow I didn’t know that…thats an accomplishment for Beyonce then. and at # 9 …perfectly stated!

Q: How can we miss you if you never go away?

total Beyonce haters..she looks better than every hater here in a bikini…right?

I’ve never thought Beyonce was that tight. I actually think Kelly Rowland is way finer, but……

She would GET IT for real, in that pic. Damn! Nice!

Well in other news, Beyonce’s ‘Irreplacable’ is expected to be number 1 yet again. This will give the single its 11th week in a row at number 1.

I like both covers. It’s black history month. Damn, can we support our own people? Both women are successful and doing big things. Can we for at least this month show some unity. Put our pride aside - & just congratulate each other. Damn (Lights candle and raises it - and hums negro spiritual)

The only people that get offered to cover Sports Illustrated are the people the industry feel has no real depth or substance. In fact, its considered one moral step-up from Playboy. No one worth their salt in the industry would cover this “mens only” magazine (where men go into the bathroom to masturbate using this magazine) unless you’re a model and that’s your living. So i’m not surprised beyonce is on the cover; actually typical, no real substance. I guess she might consider this an accomplishment, but sorry, it’s no where as prestigious as covering VOGUE.

i sorry but i said it on the jhud VOUGE post bey looks a lil MANLY in da face.cute ear rings

Compton_chick23 - i know you not calling anything cheap, with that cheap ass rainbow outfit you got on. Step yo game up & stop hating on these two beautiful black women. And stop taking pictures in your grandma’s bathroom - knocking over her ‘Home Interior.’

Very Average.

IM WATCHIN THE MORNING NEWS AND THESE WHITE FOLKS R AMAZED! THE ANCHOR WOMAN SAYS, ” IS THERE ANYTHING THIS WOMAN CAN’T DO?” BEYONCE, MAKIN HISTORY GRACING THE COVER OF SPORTS ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE” U GO BEE, I LOVE UR PERSERVERANCE!

She look good I’m feeling that swimsuit she got on it very cute, J-hud look good regardless how the pictures look she stuning, both girls made history, Congrats to both the chick! Don’t need to prove anything to anybody about which magazine is better I just keep it moving.

@112

I ain’t even gonna argue with the stupid comment you just made. Your God Beyondgay is not the best thing in the world, GO GET A LIFE BITCH!

Beyonce looks good. But I think Sports Illustrad swimsuit edition should be just for models. I mean back in the day that cover made models famous. The should’ve sticked to their routine and put a black model on the cover or any model that deserves it.

What the hell are you talking 110? The only people who get offered the SI cover (at least the swimsuit issues) are established models. So Mariah must not have any real substance at all for being on the cover of playboy, huh? Say what you will, the SI swimsuit issues is one of the most coveted covers on the year. That’s the truth, and if you read my other posts you can tell I’m not a stan either.

Here you go: Beyonce’s SI pics

http://sportsillustrated....es/2007_swimsuit/beyonce/

@112

Oh and I forgot where is your picture at??? What ugliness are you hiding behind that computer screen????

Some of the comments on here are funny, lol. I can see that everyone is just expressing their opion but Geesh some of the people that are taking up for Beyonce sound like they are ready to put some vaseline on their face and get their boxing gloves, lol. People are just expressing their feelings towards her is it really that serious?, lol. I think she is very pretty but, and I like irreplaceable because it seemed as though I didn’t have a choice I hear the damn song everywhere I go. I do not own any of her solo CD’s. Just 2 Destiny Child cd’s. I like mellow music and most of her music on this last CD was a bit much for me and the video to that ring the alarm song gave me a headache. I will say that she is doing her thing but how professional and innocent is someone that called her ex group members bad seeds in a televised interview?

Everybody keep saying the same shyt. I love Bee, I hate Bee.. Leave the gyrl alone…She looks Nice..

This is a really cute cover. It’s time SI started putting more Black women on their swimsuit edition cover.
I mean, c’mon aren’t there plenty of Black athletes out there? We need representation too!

LMAO@#67 I feel you on that.

#104-You need to fall back with that ignorant talk. Women (black, white, yellow, etc) hate on each other period. I see more black women supporting Beyonce than any other race. If black women hate beautiful, successful, fair skinned women, then how come I rarely read anything “hateful” about Halle or Thandie Newton or Traci Ellis Ross. They’re beautiful, successful, and fair skinned. Oh I get it….black women hate these type of women because they don’t like Beyonce??!! Get off of that. If people don’t like Beyonce, they just don’t like her.

I have never seen another entertainer bring out the ignorance in people.

Everybody is not going to like everybody and race has nothing to do with it. I don’t care for several Black entertainers but I still have to support them because they’re black??!! What world do you live in? Support should not be given because someone is black, support is given because an individual enjoys the artist’s work.

#119 T4P
She looks gorgeous like always. Photoshopped my ass you can look at the picture on the link below and it looks as good as the one above. I know good and damned well they didn’t photoshop that photo especially with the clear view of two photographers in the picture.

You will never find her posing like them girls in king or smoothgirl. damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn go Beyonce!

It’s Ok. Nothing special.

miss bee would not kill us. no matter what people say, she still comes back bigger and better than ever. So what if it is not Vogue, She is on SI and that is huge too. i love miss bee.

#69. Why would mary j blige be jealous of Beyonce? Mary been in the game for how many years? How many grammies did she cop a few days ago? As far as them white girls you mentioned they not even thinking about Beyonce. How is it making history? Things make history the first time they happen not the 2nd and 3rd, lol. I don’t have any problems with Beyonce but I don’t see the need to put other artists down to build her up. Or put her down to build other artists up. In the end alot of people just end up looking real silly. We don’t know these people, lol.

lmao @ babyboss and Chante!!!! Beyonce does have more than one fan ya know? What makes me so sure that yall are not the same person under different names? Please spare me the bullshit!

Anyways, concreteloop needs to post the inside layout of Beyonce because it is even more stunning than the cover!!!!!!!!!!! Damn Bee has done this with such class and taste, you would never see her posing like some of them girls in king or smooth girl lol!!!!!! I know lots of people have already said this but goddamn this is how a damn cover is suppose to be!!! Yall mouths are gonna drop once you see what Bee has done in the rest of the photoshoot. Yall haters are gonna be pissed lol I’m loving this right now lol go Beyonce, keep doing the damn thing!

Just saw the photoshoot at SI/BEYONCE she looks just like her witchlike moms not a good look.Lord knows what the hell she will look like 10 years from now.I know the fucking obsessed,stalkers stans/fans will start with the bullshit.Here we Go!

HEY I JUST SEEN SOME PICS OF THE REST OF THE PHOTOSHOOT HERE…

http://ghettofabu.blogspo...s-sports-illustrated.html

Very cute and tasteful. You can see that they airbrushed it around the hips and thighs though. She ain’t that tiny below the waste! That’s a good thing though.

#104 can I interest you in a nice hot steaming cup of shut the fuck up? because your comment made no sense.

132, Girl you know you need to stop. JESUS is jealous of Beyonce too. You didn’t know? LOL Cosigns with everything you just said.

Beyonce please go into a coma like ASAP. Serious overload of the senses. I think she’s enamored with herself….she can’t stay out of the spot light. She’s pretty yes, I’ll give her that…but all of her pictures are the same…same look…same expression (pretty but still stagnant). Someone in an earlier post likend her to piece of over chewed gum. I concur.

Beyoncé: SI’s Swimsuit Covergirl
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 14, 2007 08:40 AM EST

Beyoncé Knowles isn’t shy when it comes to performing – but she had to muster up her courage to pose for the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

“It takes a lot of guts. I’m really a shy person,” the singer tells the magazine. “But in my everyday world, as a musical performer, I’m playing a character. I had to tap that same character.”

Making the SI cover for the annual top-selling issue propels the singer into an elite class of model whose ranks include Christie Brinkley, Elle Macpherson, Rachel Hunter, Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks. (For more swimsuit coverage, visit SI.com.)

“It’s fascinating how many careers it’s made, or how many have been made of it,” says Beyoncé of the swimsuit issue. “They’re always so beautiful.”

Though the 25-year-old singer has been asked to pose in a swimsuit before, her mother says she wanted to wait for the right time. “At every shoot,” Tina Knowles says of her much-photographed daughter, “they always bring some swimsuits and ask, ‘Can we shoot in this?’ It’s always been ‘No! When it’s time to do swimsuits, it’s going to be something big.”

It doesn’t get bigger than the coveted cover of SI.

To physically prepare for the shoot, the “Bootylicious” singer says she had to watch what she ate – which was especially tough because it was scheduled right after Thanksgiving. “At dinner, I kept thinking: this extra piece of pie will show up,” she says. “I always make sure I celebrate it up, but I was so terrified with every little thing I ate this year.”

Before the photo session, the singer relaxed by listening to some of her favorite music. “I listened to John Legend’s new album. It’s soothing, sexy and old school. It got me in the mood.”

And once it got started, Beyoncé had a little help from her friends – and most of her family. “Kelly Rowland (of Destiny’s Child) showed up. My mom was there; my nephew,” she says. “Dad was going to come, but he said, ‘Well, I’ll, um, meet you in Orlando after the shoot. I’m not so sure that I want to see this. All my blessings; you’re a big girl. But I’m not so sure I want to see it.’ ”

But dad had nothing to worry about. Beyoncé says she’s proud of the pictures. “These are photos I can show my kids some day,” she says, “so I can say, ‘See, momma was beautiful. Look how good I looked!’ “

The bikini is not cute another choice could of been made on the bikini but overall it looks better than the cover deelishis did for smooth.beyonce’ don’t have to go overboard unlike other broads and you got to respect that.

Now this is how you do a magazine cover in a bathing suit. Not like that trashy mess Deelishis did with her doodoo crack exposed.

I knew the haters would be ahting big time here.For all the haters talking bout how Bee look how any of you look in a bathing suit.Don’t throw stones when you can pound of cellulite your dam self.

Post all the pics please.http://sportsillustrated.com and http://brownsista.com all the pics up go look at them and tell me Beyonce ain’t fit and more than suitable to pose in a bikini? Stop hating and hit the gym fatties.

Preettylightskingirls reppin’ hard.What.

Oh yeah for the Beyonce stans/fans don’t take it personal when someone says something negative about her. Or when anyone says anything negative about any artist. Some people may be hating but for the most part a lot of the people accused of being haters are just negative people period. It’s nothing towards Beyonce they are negative towards anybody and everything. Don’t let negative people steal your joy. You can’t control what people say about someone but you can control on how you react to their negativity.

Negative people feed of positive people’s energy. Example you wake up in a good mood log onto CL and then read negative comments and you become pissed and start arguing/defending someone. Well they have succeeded in taking your positive energy and turning it negative like them. You can reply best by simply stating. “God bless you”.

I think concreteloop is on the Knowles payroll. Any negative comment on B***** they delete.

She’s overrated and can’t sing period…

lol, and for those of yall that claim you are tired of seeing Beyonce make sure you cantch her tonight on Jay Leno to talk about the cover. lol, we all know you can’t stay away!

I would not use the “Vogue cover to compare with this. While it is not Vpgue, she certainly looks pretty as always. The Vogue cover is horrid, not cute at all…….

That is a gorgeous picture of her. She looks beautiful.

Oh did you hear she is posing for Black Tail for the annual Music March issue.

Beautiful, classy and sexy. Go Bee.
