Lol @ #67…and don’t be surprised if you see one too!

More money in the bank for Beyonce…I mean aren’t there some other talented young-black chicks besides Beyonce. It gets on my nerves that Hollywood can only feature a few black folks at a time…damn its more of us you know! What about Gabrielle, Kerry Washington, Sanaa Lathan, Ciara or somebody else glam and fabulous?

Not hatin on B’s hustle but I’m just sayin…

@64 pretty girl…

I hear what you are saying and respect your comment, but the “machine” that drives beyonce x’s everyone out even her close friends. You think if mr knowles and the “clan” got behind kelly they would not have the same success, this is a guy who kelly calls “dad” do you see the machne working for her also? watch the soundscan numbs for Ms Kelly!!!

I am all for people doing exceptionally well and doing a great job, but Beyonce is in danger of overexposing herself, it happened to Ja Rule, it happed to Mc Hammer it happened to Jlo, Jlo and Puff it happened to Coolio, it always happens to people who milk our money, our intelligence and want too much screen time. we as “joe public” NEED to miss you and do not want you in our faces ALL THE TIME.

Where is Pharrell right now, where are the black eyed peas (as a unit) again Usher took a break!! Shit Beyonce has been in our faces since the last Usher/Pharell/P diddy/ and Black eyed peas / feegie joints, she like part of the fucking family like Mr Huxtable.

MY question is, with Beyonce’ have no more to say than How in Love she is or how hot she is…..shouldn’t other artists such as Dead Prez and Common have the same mainstream success. And I don’t mean you hear them a lot, I mean flat out Beyonce’ success. Considering they do have something relevant to say relating to black empowerment and our social status.

Oh well congrats anyway bling bling queen.

Beyonce is the true meaning of OVEREXPOSED! I’ll be so glad when someone knocks her from the top spot, then her and The Joker (Tina Knowles) can go sit down. I’m suprised this chick hasn’t had a nervous breakdown/meltdown from being in the spotlight ALL the time like so many other celebs (Whitney, Mariah, Brit)! No one stays on top forever.

@Industry Insider

I def see where you’re coming from, I too think Bee’s clan stepped on alot of toes to get to where she is now.

But Kelly is a grown woman and she has been in the industry to know what the deal is. If she really wanted to be as famous, I’m sure she could break away from Knowles and work under another record label. But obviously Kelly doesn’t have that drive that Bee has. People victimized Kelly too much, she not a naive little girl…

I came into this post knowing what to expect…HATERS!!! I stopped coming to them for a while b/c it is always the same. Sisters tearing down sisters and the more succesful a sister is the more we tear her down. This young lady is one of the most successful entertainers of our generation. She is tearing down walls at every turn and what do we do? We belittle her. We call her names. We says she needs to go away. WHY? She is beautiful, obviously intelligent, and very talented. A TRUE WORK OF GOD. We all have our purposes in life and I for one don’t find it by coincidence that she has been blessed with so much. I think it is to inspire little sisters what they can accomplish if they dare to dream. I am not a STAN as you call it but I am just so tired of seeing us tear each other down then get mad at Imus for calling us Nappy Head Hoes. Isn’t that what we call each other? If we can not uplift each other and be proud of one another how can we demand respect from others. check yourself ladies b/c how we treat each other is just how others will treat us. Let’s unite….I know what you’re probably thinking. It’s not that serious. It’s all in fun but Imus thought he was being funny too and we did not see the humor did we?

#96. I wouldn’t be so quick to call her “intelligent.” But she (her puppet masters) are very industry savvy. But like others before her, she will burn herself out.

Anyways. Beyonce’ is just like a frat boy in college. Getting another notch on her belt.

I’m glad shes out getting hers. While these other chicks in the game are laying on their backs, with legs spread, My baby is out making her money. I don’t know why these people are hating on her for trying to get paid. The only thing I don’t like which shes doing, is rereleasing an album when her homegirl/sister is trying to come out with hers. Other then that, more power to her.

105.

AND THERE SHE IS... AGAIN!

Thursday, May 10, 2007 /

IS it just me, or am I the only one who is SICK TO DEATH of seeing Beyonce every 5 seconds? I know it sounds like Im hating but I am not. I mean.. SHE’S EVERYWHERE! Let someone else come into the spot light for once. For peepsake!!!!!!!!!!

@ Yeah Right..

Geez, you’re a dense one aren’t you? Please re-read the post in the other topic! I was not defending Rihanna’s music, I was simply using the topic at hand to point out the lack of diverse music in the black community, it could have been anyone’s topic… Did I say anything to the effect that Rihanna’s music is great? No, I did not even give an opinion of what I thought about the song. Again, if you insist on challenging myself and my comments, I suggest you know what the hell you’re talking about little girl!

ha Miss Beyonce girl you need to:

1. Get some media assistance better yet get some more friends outside of Kelly,Michelle, and your boo Jay to develope your social skills..you become a better speaker that way;-)
2. Take a break!..come with some real material..and stop stealing songs so you can save your ass!or better yet take time to write your own songs on a mature level;-)
3. Develop some self-confidence in your interviews..I think that’s why people think you have no personality don’t be scared to open up you don’t have to display your personal life to everyone..but you need to stop contradicting yourself because that makes you come off uninteligent.because you never retract your statements
4. Improve on your dancing!..you don’t want Miss Ciara to get all that glory..lol
5. Reinvent your look…so many people are doing the same look you have..although you took it from J.Lo and Shakira but that’s debatable for some people..lol
6. Beyonce you are beauiful and a talented singer but you need to apologize to your fans and be honest of your work..so people won’t continue this debate of you not writing songs..that’s the least you can do

To all stans and fans

I’m no hater of Miss Beyonce because she does it work it but hey she has flaws she is not perfect you guys make it seem like she is a goddess and God created differently from us..meaning like she is above everyone..she’s not..she’s a BLACK woman from Houston, TX..Beyonce keep doing you but know it’s okay to take a break we won’t forget about you..lol

@96 Prettygirl86,

Agan I fel you but disagree because, Kelly started out with the Knowles clan and has this semingly will never “bite the hand that fed me” mentality, I think she really doesn’t want the whole “you will neer work in this town again” syndrome to fall on her. But don’t you feel like she is being held back (from behind the scene especially).

I mean take the PETA incident for example, Beyonce is very talented, but her talent comes from a) being nspired from yesterday’s artists like Janet Michael aretha etc and b) growing up an 80’s child influenced by MTV culture. Not knocking that, but back to the PETA thing, when they confrntd her, her mother took over, Beyonce couldn’t even speak for herself.

Her interviews if you listen are carefully planned out, check out the most recent VIBE magazine. She was “told” don’t tlk about her relationship with Jay Z. Which naturally in love girl who writes about love and emotions all the time doesn’t gush about her man to people or even the public. She was “ordered” to not say anything.

She is dealing with Veterans in the game, veteran PR veteran mnagement nd a veteran artist in her partner Jay z.

Her yes people around her only get paid when she gets paid, but ALL the residual income and royalties are to the artist (if structured right) so it is in their best interest to kep her working, because for every tour or show or deal people get paid, the manufactures right down to the stylists the reporters the gossip writers magazines etc, she is big industry. if she puts her feet up and chills of royalties alot of people won’t eat!!!

@ #20 THEBOYABOUTTOWNSAID:

In all sincerity, I think Armani could have done better.

Beyonce does not have an Armani sensibility. You know when you think of Armani you think of classic, a little minimal always sharp.

What you don’t think of is some wild country woman stomping through fields talking about some “Deja Vu” gyrating to the cricket’s mating call.
_______________________________________________________

On point. She cheapens the brand. But then again, the Armani name doesn’t carry the cache of it’s heyday anyway, which explains everything.

And it’s gonna be fun to gauge the 5557+ comments on boon and bane of Bey’s existence. I swear, there should be on college course on that shyt!

What happened to True Star? It’s as if she hops on any project no matter how terrible the idea is, just to get paid. It’s obvious that she still hasn’t learned that it isn’t necessary to accept every offer that comes your way.

When I think of Armani, Beyonce DOES NOT come to mind.
I really wish these designers would stop catering to this teeny bopper crowd. What about the mature adult consumers? Do we not matter any more?

It’s great that she’s successful, but enough already. Damn!!
