this should be a sub post. lol

You go B. make that money girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beyonce is EVERYTHING!

Dang! We need a new word that means more than rich, or wealthy… OH I GOT IT: BEYONCE!!!

Let’s think back

Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, CoverGirl, McDonalds, Dereon, House of Dereon, Target, and now American Express… I’m sure I forgot something

Go Beyonce.

And I agree. She ain’t out there Paris, Nicole or Lyndsay Lohaning it. Great example to young girls, especially Black girls.

I forgot Loreal

yeah Bee….she looks FAB!

Beyonce is the best I can’t wait to see her multiple personality disorder asa in concert this week.

Im lovin her high waisted pants….she’s hot..i cant even TRY 2 hate, shes doing her thang.

I Love Beyonce! She looks so beautiful in those pics. Keep doing your thing! You’re MAD HOT!

it irritates me that she has become the standard of beauty for black women….but whatever

Congrats to Bey…and for though who think she’s about to take a break, sorry, shes back in the studio.

I’m sorry, but how funny yet ironic is it the title of this post is “Beyonce..

The New FACE of American Express” when she just fell and bumped her HEAD the other day. Oh the irony.

Make that money B! Shs is the ultimate hustler.

@34….who standards u talkin bout.

Damn those pants are cute as hell

Get that money!! I’m glad she’s leveraging herself well in other endeavors outside of music.

Her hair and makeup is on point today and looks beautiful. I do not like them pants on her, hippy people shouldn’t really wear high waisted pants. But i love that jacket and the shoes.

#38 everyones….thats why we see blonde weaves everywhere….thats why when women go into hair shops or workout they say “oh i wunna look like beyonce” for who?… to impress the many many men that compare ordinary females to “iconic” beyonce….now im not saying this is the case for everyone….i was speaking generally

34. What are you talking about?

Black women comes in all colors, shades, personalities, and styles. We got flava like that.

She can’t help that she’s Black and looks the way she looks. Find something else to dislike her for that makes some sense.

And people been wearing Blonde weaves before there even was a “Beyonce.” Mary J Blige and Aretha Franklin all wore Blonde hair but because Beyonce does it, it’s a big issue now. Please.

Go Beyonce. Beyonce is the BADDEST BITCH for real. I love her!

That’s great for her. Go head girl.

It just goes to prove that she’s a smart business woman by adding to her endorsements because she’s and international celebrity if her singing career ended, she’ll still bring in the money.

I’ve not read all the other posts but I knew this would be turned into a hate fest.

@34 , i sort of feel you…..i think beyonce is pretty especially when her hair and makeup is on point cause it just takes her to another level. You don’t hear about beyonce out doing crazy things because she’s very conscious of her image. She should be commended and i think she’s being rewarded with all these contracts.

But, i do agree with you in one way….i mean why not Alicia Keyes? You don’t hear her out doing anything stupid, but i think her music is on a deeper level than beyonce’s and of course, we know when something is more ethnic, no matter how successful you are, you don’t get rewarded as the more mainstream cross-cultural appealing artists like beyonce with the wigs and whole diana ross type superstar thing going. Instead it seems Alicia Keys is limited to public service annoucement about aids and other concerns that has to do with largely the black community. I don’t see people throwing contracts her way….and i think she’s just as worthy as beyonce.

Wow- she looks so fresh and ready for fall (no pun intended). The makeup, shoes and the little bomber jacket. I don’t know about Am. Exp., I never had one, but she’s in great company with the people who have done those ads. She looks great!!

good for her

#46 thank you….my case and point….whether ya’ll agree or not….it’s the truth

Those of you inspired to go get a gold card, I hope you know that bill is due at the end of the month! American Express don’t play when it comes to they money!

and i dont dislike beyonce at all…..i think shes overrated but i dont not like her….shes makin her money and i strive to be at her level one day (when it comes to business and makin money)

Beyonce looks hot like danm! lol keep it up girl

B has been in the game 4 so long that i 4get that she’s only 25, although she looks much older than alot of 25 yr olds i know.

Does this woman ever sleep?????? She’s everywhere….

46. I don’t see how your opinion connected with “A” but

If everybody was deep, sat down and played a piano, and didn’t provide that over the top performance the music industry would be very boring.

We have so much going on with war, crime, & whatever personal things you are going throug in life that sometimes you just want to let go and be entertained. You wanna have snap music or “Get Me Bodied” so you can go to the club or be at home to let loose and forget all that stuff. We don’t have to hear about deep stuff or what’s going on in the world all the time especially when you are already aware of it.

You have your Tracy Chapman’s, Alicia Keys, and Corrine Bailey Rae’s and you have your over-the-top performers like Beyonce, Ciara, and Janet. If everybody was the same it would be very bland.

She and her family worked hard for what they have now and nothing was giving to them.

Beyonce is a single black woman, 25, has NO baby daddys, and very career focused.

We dont see her charged with DUIs, sleepin with every male celeb, or partying all the time and gettin drunk. She lets females know it ok to be sexy and classy, not sexy and trashy. Not too many females are willing to put their own personal goals 1st. Instead alot get lost behind tryin to follow these men.

I personally think she is a good role model for young women

I LOVE ALICIA KEYS LIKE THE NEXT PERSON BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, IT’S SUPPLY AND DEMAND. ALICIA IS NOT IN HIGH DEMAND LIKE BEYONCE THAT’S WHY SHE WASN’T OFFERED THE CONRACT.
BEYONCE HAS LOREAL, SAMSUNG, ARMANI DIAMONDS PERFUME, AND AMERICAN EXPRESS ENDORESEMENTS AS OF PRESENT. THIS IS BUSINESS, THEY KNOW BEYONCE WILL SELL A PRODUCT, LOOK WHO’S SPONSORING HER “BEYONCE EXPERIENCE.”
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S A GOOD LOOK!

I’m really proud of Beyonce and her many accomplishments. It kills me how some black women dog her out. It’s not like she’s Lil’ Kim or Foxy Brown where she’s always getting into trouble with the law or Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton flashing her privates to the world and sleeping with different men. You never hear her throwing temper tantrums or acting like a spoiled diva like Jennifer Lopez. In my opinion I think she’s a positive role model. People should be applauding her for her success.Especially as black women we should be supporting her where there are so many negative images of us in America.

Ive been watching beyonce since I was eleven….And ive probably heard her or seen her somewhere every single week since then!!!!!!!!……Its like she got a single out..when u blink your eyes again….boom! she drops another single….out of all the celebs im sick of seeing…she holds the throne

I love her tho…she Bomb lol

What Jay say……..”don’t knock the hustle.”

Go head Beyonce, keep doing it big…she ain’t stopping for nobody and I don’t blame her, get it while you can b/c the entertainment industry is very fickle.

Beyonce, is really doing her thang, you can’t help it but to give her, her props!! She is beautiful, talented, and goal oriented!! She is my role model, because she is such a determined BLACK young woman, and she is NOT going to stop until she achieved all the things on her to-do-list!!!!! So, all you people talking about yall tried of her, yall need to stop watchin TV, and cut off yall computer, because BIONIC B is here to stay and she aint going nowhere!!!!

She looks nice….as usual.

she look like halle berry far away in the last pic…go head girl!

@55

I definitely agree with you. Beyonce is a hustler, and so is her family. I think they are relentless and they stop at nothing, and they expect the best; she’s reaping well from that core family attitude, as she should, and as anyone who fosters that same frame of thinking should. And her music has a definite place, why? Cause numbers don’t lie, even if record sales number can lie, concert ticket sales can’t. She has cemented a place for herself.

But this is what i think #34 was saying:

Remember the video that was on here a few months back, when the young girl did a documentary on the black dolls and the white dolls, well when you go into our neighborhoods, most black people don’t look like beyonce, they don’t look like halle berry, and yet these are pretty women at the height of their success; yet, most black people cannot “physically” identify with them because “stereotypically” they don’t look like your average black person, (i.e, wider noses, textured hair, thick lips)but i think #34 was saying that the world is more accepting and willing to reward people who look like halle and beyonce, rather than a lauryn hill or someone that more closely “physically” looks more ethnic (wider noses, hair texture, lip size, etc). Thats why when the girl who did the documentary asked “which was the good doll”, they all picked up the white doll, because that’s who they see successful, on tv, in movies, on a more large basis. Thank God Oprah is there to the cut it a bit, but on a larger scale, the more successful artists and the ones that reap the most rewards from WHITE AMERICA (american express, you can’t get too much whiter!) are the ones that look like beyonce. When Alicia Keys and India Arie came out TOGETHER, we all know that most of the accolades went to alicia, even though she was rockin them braides, india was rockin them locks, and that’s a hella no no if you want white mainstream america to accept you.

Beyonce and all the others that i mention deserves everything they have gotten…but i think with the “doll test” i can see why little dark skin girls in our communities hate themselves, cause they don’t see people like them, , get rewarded on a grand scale, just in bits and pieces - instead it’s only done if they have that crossover appeal. And when the halle’s and beyonce’s get rewarded, while we all still know they are black, it’s like mainstream america is sending us a message, “we’ll only ACCEPT you and validate you, if you look like this”.

I could be wrong, and #34 tell me if i was way off base, but that’s what i got from what you said.

@57

Of course i was speaking of WHEN ALICIA WAS AT THE HEIGHT OF HER SUCCESS, not now. But i think she’ll be good now, she’s taken them braides out and she has a more mainstream look now. Though i don’t know if she’ll keep that look with the release of the new album.

Well, it wouldn’t be Concrete Loop without ignorant racial arguments…

Anyway, Beyonce is a decent singer, and it’s great that she’s so successful, but Jesus Christ, she is EVERYWHERE. I’m tired of seeing her and hearing about her all the time. Goodness, she’s not even that great.

Get that paper B

love her outfit…the rich just keep gettin richer

PUBLIC APOLOLGY, PUBLIC APOLOGY, PUBLIC APOLOGY, PUBLIC APOLOGY

Please forgive me everyone with that long as hell post. I was so quick to defend #34 in their statement, when they said they were sorry beyonce had become the standard for black beauty. I thought they meant that only people that look like beyonce get contracts like american express.

BUT, upon reading further, i see that Venus Williams (who we all know is black, look black, cant get her mixed up with no other race than black) also had the contract as well by american express.

So please disregard my posts at numbers #46 and #65. While i had points, they are not in fitting with the conversation and topic today. So sorry, please don’t jump down my throat.

At #34, sorry, i thought i knew where you were coming from, but i obviously didn’t. As you were soldier, you’ll have to defend yourself on that one.

Yay, BEY!!! WHOO!

GONE B!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE THEM HATERS SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT WHENEVER YO NAME COMES OUT THEY HATIN MOUTHS!!!

Beyonce stay wearin Christian Loubitons!! I need to get on her level!

So sick of this overcommercialized bitch. She endorses EVERYTHING.

i say good for her…..next please

@ #27
If anything, she endorsed WALMART and not TARGET.
You forgot Samsung and Armani

alright bionic bee, doing big things. definitley a good role model for black little girls. it’s funny how some folks wanna throw the race card in reference to beyonce’s endorsement deals. if thats the case,every lightskinned black female artists(mya,christina milan,alicia keys) would be gettin the big endorsement deals. it’s called hardowork and mass appeal(she appeals to variety of people,not just white people) people, beyonce is on her grind, that woman deserves everything thats comes to her.haters don’t blame beyonce,blame your favourite artists for not stepping their game up, and for those still using the tired azz overexposure excuse need to get a hobby.you have a choice not pay attention to her. the whole blatantly hating on beyonce,is so 2006

@77

Are you referring to me? Cause if so, i’ve already clarified that i mispoke. Next Bitch!

So sick of this OVERRATED

it’s really mind buggling when haters actually take the time out of their life to comment on somebody they dislike so bad,lol. go ahead beyonce, the haters can’t take you,right now they are heated,LOL

i don’t understand how people on here are haters just for saying they are sick of seeing her and that she is overated (which by the way she is). some of you all act like she is the second coming or something.

i guess if we were put in a persons shoes why not take a couple of million to do some endorsement crap but on the other side when is enough money enough
when does a artist reach the crossing over or selling thier soul point..
being a walking billboard is not a good look

Big things, big things!

Go ‘head Beyonce. She stays busy and seems to love every minute of it. Looking good girl.

I think beyonce is a very beautiful women who has it all rapped up. And with all the money she has she’s goinging to keep rising to the top. The rich get richer!!!

FOR THE PEOPLE WHOM DISLIKE BEYONCE NOW, SHE’S ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER, SO I WOULD UNPLUG MY COMPUTER NOW TO GET A HEADSTART!

It’s really funny how KISS ASSES take the time to respond to any and every post that doesnt quite kiss ass like they do. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the head of American express is a black guy. Bloggers put beyonce on their sites because they get more hits they can sell more spots on their sites. its like TV if the show don’t do good business don’t buy commercial spot and the show get cancel
how many black celebrity get over 300 comments on this site?

Oh Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! My worst nightmare came true, Hurricane Chris has a remix 4 A bay bay. shit.

She looks like Kim Kadarshian in the last pic.

#65 ,#70 Jscene,

Very interesting post, and I definitely do see your point of view. One thing about the Williams sisters though- they are first and foremost athletes, and hugely succesful ones at that. American Express offered them deals based on their success as tennis players.

The entertainment industry on the other hand is all about the superficial. But of course we already know that. In college (a couple years ago in fact), I had to take a sociology 101 class. For some topic dealing with race and American culture, Beyonce was used as an example as an entertainer who had mass appeal because of her features and hairstyle. The picture the text book had was a head shot from her Destiny’s Child days, with blond hair, green contacts and European features.

Anyway, I am not agreeing/disagreeing with you or anyone else. I just wanted to add something to the discussion because I saw your disclaimer was based on the Williams sisters not looking like Beyonce, but they got an Amex endorsement.

My disclaimer: I am EXTREMELY happy for Beyonce. I am a young (ish ) black female trying to make something of myself, if not for me only, but for when I have kids they can have something. I may not like Beyonce’s music, dancing or weave/makeup choices, but I damned well admire her work ethic. Why would she NOT want to make a few thousand dollars in a day just for showing her mug and pretending she can act? Who the hell wouldn’t?

Does any one know how much money she gets for a gig like this ?

As if the black community does not have enough debt, Beyonce Knowles goes pitching credit cards. And AMEX is the worst card, for people who carry balances from month to month, which is typical habit of black people.

The endorsing of Bey has nothing to do with the CEO being black. It has more to do with the fact that AMEX realizes an opportunity to make money off black people who have a propensity to spend money they dont have and carry balances, which AMEX makes a TON of money off of. Who else to talk to black people about getting an AMEX than our darling Beyonce.

LOL @88

Is that really true?

Still a shame that she doesn’t have much for brains but it’s good to see another Black celeb representing AmEx…

@ #92
Yes, Hurricane Chris was on 106 n Park to Premiere the remix and I actually thought it was hot, which is very unlike me. I listen to more R&B. He has EVERY rapper and their Mama on there.

“American Express cards are just amaziiiiiiiiiing”

- Beyonce

Beyonce’s a great entertainer, but I don’t want to hear her speak.

But, I cant even hate cuz she is getting paiiiid!

How much for a gig like this?

always a vision of loveliness -

@90

Oh, i didnt even think of it that way….but yep, you’re so right.

I think they said the contract is worth millions…..

I really admire beyonce’s drive; it’s unmatched right now, oh wait, maybe except for Rhianna, cause she is creeping up on Beyonce for sure.

@94

Damn, they are making a remix for every song now. I’m sure i’l hear it really soon, cause it’ll probably be in heavy rotation. It is a slighty contagious song though, i must admit.

I love Beyonce, but she really needs to take a break:

lmao @ this chain letter being sent about her on MYSPACE:

EXCLUSIVE NEWS ABOUT BEYONCE’S NEXT ALBUM!!!

We’ve just received EXCLUSIVE news about Worldwide. Worldwide is the third solo album by Beyonce. The album is slated for release on January 1, 2008. Beyonce has reportedly recorded over 100 songs, and those songs will be divided between 12 albums, and a new Beyonce album will be released each month in the year 2008 on the following dates:

January 1, 2008 - World Wide I (or WWI)
February 5, 2008 - World Wide II (WWII)
March 4, 2008 - World Wide III
April 8, 2008 - World Wide IV
May 6, 2008 - World Wide V
June 10, 2008 - World Wide VI
July 8, 2008 - World Wide VII
August 5, 2008 - World Wide VIII
September 9, 2008 - World Wide IX
October 7, 2008 - World Wide X
November 11, 2008 - World Wide XI
December 16, 2008 - World Wide XII

Beyonce will shoot a video for each song (300 videos in all, each song will be re-done in Spanish, and 50 will be re-shot in Swahili) And she will shoot a movie for each album starring as her alter-ego Sasha.

In keeping with the Worldwide Theme of the album Beyonce will visit 12 countries a month to promote the album. She is also having a special contest to give away free tickets to a concert. Starting in November, if you visit your local Kim’s Korean Hair Care, if you find the OFFICIAL Beyonce Blonde lacefront wig in the store, you will win front-row tickets to her concert. We guarantee that this concert will be so hot, you may leave the show on FIRE!!!

Because Beyonce is such a kind and generous person, she will be visiting third world countries in Africa and Asia to pass out water, food, medical supplies, and slightly worn lacefronts and freakum dresses, because, as Beyonce says, “water and food are cool, but every once and a while, when your country is poor and in the middle of a civil war, sometimes you have to go in the back of your closet and pull out that freakum
dress.”

Keeping with her tradition of giving new talent an opportunity, for the WorldWide World Tour 2008 Beyonce wants an all-gay band. That’s right an all-gay band. She will be looking for the most talented and energetic gay musicians to go out on the road with her. She needs the following musicians:

- 1 Drummer
-
-3 Tambourine Players
-2 Whistle Blowers
-1 Person to take hold 2 flashlights, spin in a circle and, make the Siren Sound on Ring the Alarm

She will be holding auditions in Atlanta-only. She figured that in Atlanta all she had to do was play “Get Me Bodied” on a crowded street and the all-gay band would form itself.

As with all of her other tours, Beyonce will be offering Gold Packages
for her fans.

For the low price $12,000 fans will be able to wave directly at Beyonce as she waves back at them from her tour bus. No photos and videos will be taken at the concerts, as we have found that people post things on YouTube, even when Beyonce asks them not to. Go figure.

People who buy the Gold Package will also receive an EXCLUSIVE gift-bag which includes: a bag of Skittles, a bar of Irish Spring soap, 2 loose Newports, $300 worth unsold House of Dereon clothing, and 20 unsold copies of “Miss Kelly”.

Fans will be able to pre-order all 12 albums on the following dates:

-September 4, 2007
-Whatever day Janet’s album comes out.
-Whatever day Mariah’s album comes out.
-Whatever day Ashanti’s album comes out.

Beyonce’s not trying to compete or overshadow, it’s merely a coincidence that her pre-order date falls on the same day as other singers’ album releases.

A DVD-CD re-release will be done for each of the 12 albums, and DVD
from each of the 120 concerts that Beyonce will perform on tour.

So in all in 2008 Beyonce will release:

24 albums
12 movies
120 - DVDs

Go Bey!! Get that money!

Her outfit is incredible. She looks great and I love her.

lol at people writing articles and shit

where was this post when alicia keys was signe to do ads for american express.

she looks beautiful az usual..not mad at her at all she knows how to make smart decisions

OMG, YOU ARE TOO FUNNY, LOL. Beyonce looks really fab in those pics, she looks modern and fresh. AMERICAN EXPRESS AND ALL OF THE REST OF THOSE CREDIT CARDS ARE FULL OF GIMMICKS, THEY WILL TREAT YOU LIKE ROYALTY OFFERING ALL OF THOSE PERKS, REWARDS, AND CREDIT INCREASES…THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF THOSE HIDDEN FEES AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOUR CREDIT BALANCE AND INTEREST IS HIGH. COLLECTION CALLS WILL BEGIN, AND TRUST ME YOU DO NOT EVER WANT TO DEAL COLLECTIONS ESPECIALLY THIRD PARTY COLLECTIONS, IN PARTICULAR UNIVERSAL FIDELITY. ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING CREDIT CARD CORPORATIONS ARE LIKE SHARKS, THEY WILL GO OFF PF THE DEEP END TO DEFEND THESE GREEDY CREDIT CARD CORPORATIONS.

HAS ANYONE HAD TO DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL FIDELITY, OR ANY OTHER COLLECTIONS AGENCY; SHARE YOUR STORIES.

ALL YOU HAVE TOO DO IS HAVE A DECREASE IN PAY, A FAMILY EMERGENCY, ILLNESS, YOU LOSE YOUR JOB, OR LIVE BEYOND YOUR MEANS CREDIT CARD DEBT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN PARTICULAR, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON BUILDING WEALTH INSTEAD OF BUILDING STATUS.

If I could endorse products for millions of dollars I would so B do your thing.

It’s funny that when someone else gets an endorsement, some of you are all, “That’s right! Make that money!” But when it’s Bee, it’s, “Oh, this bitch is tired,” or, “How come she’s everywhere?” I say, DO YOUR THING, BEYONCE! Go get ‘em, you beautiful black queen!

Why is Alicia’s name being bought up? Alicia Keys is not about endorsements and all that…she already made that clear. She is not the type that is worried about being the biggest star or being in the spotlight all the time or stamping her name on everything. That’s not her thing. She is more focused on the craft.

I agree with the person that said if every artists was the same it would be boring.

seems like its just Bee & rihanna getting all the good endorsement as black female

I love those pants,can u post them on where we can get a pair for cheap,sista is on a budget. ain’t no tellin how much beyonce paid for them.

She is truly a force to be reckoned with & it doesn’t hurt that she has a strong work ethic & puts on a marvelous show!

Who cares about her “taking a break?” That is a ridiculous sentiment. So because most aren’t on her level she is supposed to disappear…..RIGHT! If her fans want to miss her so badly then she wouldn’t be selling out shows where people are on their feet the ENTIRE time in awe of her.

I am happy for her!

OMG…my dreams have come true. Black women are FINALLY taking Beyonce at face value and not trying to use her as a scapegoat for black women’s issues in society. Better late than never….

And for what it’s worth…American Express is a GREAT card to have if you know how to use it (the Green Card) but the have various other products (cards) that you can carry balances on that have low interest rates (based on your credit).

It’s not Beyonce’s fault that some don’t know how to manage other people’s money (credit) when they already can’t manage their own. Man, people will blame her for everything!

“She’s a role model for so many young people,” says an insider. “She has tremendous cross-over appeal the same way Tiger does. She’s an inspiration for lots of people. She’s a great fit for American Express.”

How is that Racist when they just mentioned a paragraph up that….

“If you didn’t know, Beyonce, 25, will be the latest celebrity spokesperson for American Express to help pitch their gold and platinum credit cards. Former representatives include Ellen DeGeneres, Tiger Woods, Kate Winslet, Robert DeNiro, and Venus Williams.’

The last time I checked Venus Williams was just as dark and beautiful as they come. And yet they felt she was mainstream. Whoever said that black people arent mainstream. Need to check up on the latest view cohost who also hosted the oscars many a times.

Need to watch sum will smith movies. Dude is as mainstream as they come. And its tons of black brothers in america who LOOK just like him.

Just becuz Beyonce is a dif shade of black dont mean she shouldnt represent American Express. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL in all its shades.

She looks happy, happy for her.

she looks great. she’s a true performer. she’s good at what she does. congrats to her.

with success breeds envy & jealously, so of course there are negative comments made about her. comes with the territory. she continues to prevail. go bee.

Nothing wrong with Black folks sporting good credit. This is a good look because we are always caught up with the here and now, so even if you don’t like B, I still think it is a good look.

BEYONCE’S DOING HER THING,SHE’S STRIKING NOW THE IRON’S HOT ,GOOD MOVE B.SHOW THESE MFKRS THAT WANT U TO SIT UR ASS DOWN HOW IT’S DONE.

Make that money Bey!! Fuck the haters!

I have never seen so many haters in my life. Beyonce is the best , no other chick can take her spot. She showed yall hoes how to rock a performance on the BET Awards, now she is schooling you all on how to get more of that side bread.

All Im saying is you all have been talking shit about her from day 1 and its about 10 years later and she has gotten bigger and better.

I guess all of the hate just motivates.

CC

Beyonce is not the standard of beauty for black women. Cleary she is not. Put her against a white girl ( her and Ashley Simpson at the Grammys) and you will find many similarities.

Although I was extremely disappointed with her latest records, I still admire and respect her hard work and professinalism.

She is doing it, white people love her. Then again that has always been the case. They want a women of African descent with European features, and that is what she is. I am definately not hating but real is real.

Girl do your ting, get back the land for all of us, then again they are making money in the process.

All the same, you done know that she soon breed- come on Jay is almost 40, since he is so family oriented, he should want some soon.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL @ 100

Das BAD!….LOL

Ching-ching, do I hear a bank roll somewhere. $$$$$$$ Thats h-o-t, who wouldnt want to be the new face for the most exclusive credit card in America?

She is truly an inspiration but gotdammit i cannot turn on the radio or the tv or go on the inet, hop on the bus or the train, go for a walk outside, take a shit and open a magazine to read it, hit up the laundromat or call up my friends without her being plastered somewhere, her songs being played in someones whip/the radio/someones ipod/someone singing her song, my friends telling me they bout to hit up the salon to get their hair done like hers, flipping the page on a magazine AND BAM, there she is on a L’Oreal ad…. ETC ETC ETC….. She is freakin everywhere and i’m really, honestly starting to get sick of her. MY LORD!!!

Congrats to her though… once again.

Beyonce favors white girls too much. Sometimes she looks like Jennifer Lopez, sometimes she looks like Mariah, and then sometimes she looks like Shakirah!

I aint knockin the hustle, go on bey!! But she do wanna look white sometimes!!

Beyonce will always go far because she is more foucsed on her life and goals!
Her tour is called “The Beyonce Experience” and that is for a very good reason. One will walk away from her concert and be like; damn!!! Beyonce is no Joke!

I don’t really to agree with what I read regarding the lighter, more narrow nose etc… the more work you will get… but the way things are going in this business it will appear so…

Look at Rihanna… look how much attention she is getting!

I’m proud of my girl B! O yeah I just need to put the NY Post on blast… they gave Beyonce a bad review in the paper about her MSG stop in NY. All Lies!
They said the band was bad her voclas were weak and the sound system was weak as well. I wonder who the hell wrote that… person had to be death dum and blind because clearly Beyonce was hated on by this person. If anyone went to her show on Sunday in NY… please let me know if you agree with the NY Post

Thank you, Beyonce, but no thank you. I’ll stick to my bank card. It works just as fine as yours, miss.

She is truly an inspiration but gotdammit i cannot turn on the radio or the tv or go on the inet, hop on the bus or the train, go for a walk outside, take a shit and open a magazine to read it, hit up the laundromat or call up my friends without her being plastered somewhere, her songs being played in someones whip/the radio/someones ipod/someone singing her song, my friends telling me they bout to hit up the salon to get their hair done like hers, flipping the page on a magazine AND BAM, there she is on a L’Oreal ad…. ETC ETC ETC….. She is freakin everywhere and i’m really, honestly starting to get sick of her. MY LORD!!!

Congrats to her though… once again.

Co-sign with EVERYTHING you just wrote.
I want her to take a break, not only for her well being, but for the fans. I want to be able to say, “I miss Beyonce’. I wish she would come out with an album soon” instead for seeing her promote the wig crypt for all its worth.

In the third picture her hand looks so little in that dude’s hand! LOL
But thats a good look for her, the outfit and the endorsment deal with American Express.
I bet Tina Knowles didnt have anything to do with this look though…

Can I keep it real?
I am sooooo EFFIN’ jealous! She’s gorgeous and she looks like a Barbie. The icing on the cake is that she’s cool peops and not all extra’d out like other R&B “divas”.

Get it bee!!

@ 126

I went to “The Beyonce Experience” when she came to Dallas and it was off da hook! So I know she did it BIG in NY too…..

I just wish she would’ve did the soulja boy dance with us too…..she had ATL crunk!

“That shit wuz so good, I wanna make him some hamburger helper” lol

DANG YALL

is it THIS serious?

i bet yall didnt write this much is high school…

She’s making that paper. Good for her.

chicks from houston do it big and best! hehehe…congrads B!!! she is soo positive and they picked a good person to be the next face of this card

to #125

how is she tryna look white? that is real stupidd of you to say fa real..

She looks so beautiful. I love the outfit.

Umm great for B- I love her outfit and her weave looks great. I just wish she would change that hair color already.

Chile boo she aint all dat……..LOL

Quit being geeked and being sold dreams……..Beyonce is so ordinary

gone B do ur thang looking good thatz my girl

She looks great. congratulations B!

b is a pimp she knows how to make dat money , like someone said earlier … no baby daddy and she is young why not make dat paper…… i aint mad at her tho. she is just selfish when it comes to other performers. dont blame bey…. blame her parents they created this monster lololol

how is this woman a good christian?just look at what she’s wearing when she’s preforming or in her videos.all she sings bout it materia and sex and all she teaches the youth today is GREEDY.more money is better.face it,this woman is a product,thats why some ppl will never take her seriously.

There are some real haters in here this morning. Come on do you all pick apart her white counterparts. No one is mad at Donald Trump from selling everything from real estate to steaks. Shit that man put his face on tap water (allegedly spring) but you do not see anyone calling his ass out for doing what business is about —selling yourself and your products.

My issue with B and most other black celebs is in what way does they contribute to the black community, other then a few tax write offs (save the music or some foundation in your name that doesn’t do shit but keep Uncle Sam at bay). I am mean my opinion of Jay changed when he became apart of a cause that obviously impacts people and appears to be legit–in that it is not a tax shelter for his millions.

That is my issue with B and people of her stature, not that she sells herself and anything else that can make her some loot, but that she thinks past entertainment to see how the world would benefit from her fame and wealth. Just a thought from one blogger to the next.

go bey. dont respect you hawking a credit card though. those things are evil.

Dang. I think this chick would endorse Purina Puppy Chow if it paid enough.

She is definetly the badest chick in da game!!!

Wow, Haters!!!

Hard-working people get rewarded, and clearly she is diligent in her task, hence, why she is every where…… Some people on this blog whom make, such simple - closed minded comments….need to take a business class, to get a basic understanding of how economics work….. Spend less time hating, and more time thinking of ways to make money…. that is why the rich get richer, and Beyonce is the quintessential

I’m not a Bey stan, fan, or even casual liker, but I gotta admit, she’s playing the endorsement game the way it’s supposed to be played. Why can’t a woman get her hustle game on like Michael Jordan and other male sports figures? Cause she’s a singer? Or a woman?

Fucks all that.

The one good thing I CAN say about her is that she’s setting a new example, and in the future, her example will be the template that black female celebrities should follow - should they want to take that route to cross-over appeal.

She looks beautiful and I am very happy for her-when big names like american express what you to endorse their products you are obviously doing something right-and it’s definitely not just because your pretty-

there are a million beautiful people they could have asked-it’s obvious this woman’s successful career and the fact that she serves as a role model and comes from a strong family background were probably the determining factors that landed her this gig!

You can hate all you want but the people who matter the most-the ones with the power to make major decisions and the ones who pay big bucks- obviously like this girl!

when you are making moves like this-you can tell the haters to kiss your ass-in private of course-we don’t want to ruin that good girl image.

Beyonce is laughing the longest and the hardest-and that’s to those who thought her fall was so damn funny-

Keep doing it big B.

They are saying THE CAMPAIGN is worth millions, meaning using all those celebs combined is worth millions. It doesnt mean that they are talking about Bey specifically, though I am sure she is making at least a mill off this deal.

Wow, that Beyonce is Smoking hot, aint she??

Conrates to Ms Beyonce. Love her :o) !

I luv those high waisted pants! Ugh, so cute!

As for everything else, it’s crazy how black women hype themselves up into thinking that white America loves light skinned black women. When the fact of the matter is, they look at B and they know she’s not white. She’s no where close to white. She doesn’t talk white, act white or sing white. She’s not built white nor does she dress white. To white people, she’s a black woman just like any black woman. What’s appealing is that she’s a successful black woman just like Serena is. Don’t think cause Serena ain’t touring that she ain’t making paper. Sister is paid out the anus too. Black woman always wanna make something about light skinned versus dark skinned. Who cares? Live your life because can’t no one hold you back from what God has in store for you anyway. You could be black as dirt or red boned - it only matters as much as you make it matter. People and things in this world don’t attach importance to us - we attach importance to things. Light skinned versus dark skinned is not important to me. I’m a chocolate sister with big ole natural, nappy hair and I’m beautiful.

Make that money Bee!!!

i love her pants, really cute, my style………. keep it coming girl……….

Go BEYONCE! Luv you gurl!

beyonce is cool but i am SO tired of her…they need to get her face out of the industry becuz shes gettin old
all her music kinda sounds the same always bout love or her or sumthin
i hope she dnt come out wit another album, all though she most likely will
she goin be juss like flava flav [wit more class & home trainin of course] smh sad
but im not hatin she is doin her thing but thats just the problem….HER THING is always the same & im ready for sumthin new

–terrena

its BEYONCE what do you expect?

nobody is hatin on beyonce…we all have our own opinions & just bc u dont like somebody doesnt necessarily make u a hater

&& ppl who think beyonce is an icon for young black girls or black women in general please…on the makin bank & business perspective yeah, but it’s just a like something unreal…
face it, we all cant go out & be big singers & world renowned & everything we dont see beyonce, we see what the media’s made her to be….
i got mad respect for her, and i like her, but if that’s who you want to represent “us” —-weavealicious, skinny [though curvacious], make-up, & everything, then i disagree beyonce’ has her high points, & her low points she’s not perfect & ppl need to realize that nobody is be yourself & dont live off of her….be real yo

♥terrena

funny as hell 36! and I’m lovin 29 comment yeah what’s new! lovin the tone down look!

Go ‘head Beyonce. She stays busy and seems to love every minute of it. Looking good girl.

Thats the point she “seems” but err’y since that day she was on 106 and park promotin her Bday album lookin high rockin back in forth like she was in a strait jacket I am convinced that this broad aint happy…..she looks so robotic like her perfomance at the bet awards….

“Beyonce is EVERYTHING!”

^^^^^ROTFL ..if you don’t get cho STAN ASS DA FUCK OUTTA HERE WIT DAT NONSENSE. BeYAWNCE aint thankin boutchu. lmao *dead*

This is a great look for Beyonce and I personally think she is a great role model for young women and myself!!!!

Po’ baby gone work herself to death.

Bionic B..lol She is that B’ she definately is a role model…I’m on my way girl..thanks for the inspiration:-0

Go BEY!!! THESE ARE THE TIMES WHEN i’M PROUD TO BE A STAN

Is she gonna be the new face of Tampax next?

I used to love Bey but now I just want her to go sit in a corner for a few years…

I LOVE how people get mad at her for making money! Keep doing big things B. Like T.I. said “You can hate if you want to but you waisting your time”. Regardless of your negative “opinions”(you know the haters get sensitive about being called haters) she is the ISH! LOVES it

Go Bee!! You the best artist in this music business! You show these haters what you can do cuz you are knocking them to the ground! I cant wait to see what you be doin next girl! And you know Ima back you all the way!

@Terrena You ARE hating. You have posted about a million times about nothing. And why do people feel like they are obligated to like her or something? If you sooo tired of her get out of her post. And if you want something new get off your ass and do something or support another artist. You don’t have to like her. GOT DAMN

YALL LITTLE GIRLS ON HERE NEED TO WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST THE WAY YALL WORSHIP MISS BEYONCE. I SORT OF LIKE HER TOO BUT GOTDAMN.

What, I new this would be about 10 pages long already. HAHAHA!!

Beyonce look what you started.

Get Em Bey’! And to that ignorant specimen “beyonceslacefrontwig” (Poster #74), the word is overexposed, not overcommercialized, and she doesn’t call these companies and say “Can I Endorse your Product?”, they call her and say “BEYONCE, would you be willing to sign on with us in a new ad campain?”….. Face It, BEYONCE is in DEMAND, and you haters can’t handle it…… you hate to see someone have success….. GET EM BEY’ ! As usual people are hating on you because they have low self-esteem, no life, and you intimidate them! KEEP RACKIN IN YOUR MONEY!

(We have a presentable black woman representing for us, and all yall can do is tear her down, try building people up for a change, because at the end of the day hating only reflects poorly on your character, and while your hating Bey’ is still making moves)

You must not know bout Bey’, You must not know bout Bey’!

make that money honey!

This woman truly desreves the honor of representing such an prestigious company.
truly she has been an intricate role in the entertainment industry and is well-behaved in the public view.

I am proud to have her along, with many other positive people of color, represent our race in a classy, graceful light.

Do your thing chile!

@176

You’s a true stan, I’ll give you that. Ain’t no shame to your game LOL Stand by your idol!

She looks good.. but I hate that Dark and Lovely honey blond hair color.. it’s time to switch up and be more natural..

Oh, and hate the pants.. another trend that should definitely die

Go Beyonce get your money, glad you aint embarassing your race like Lindsey, Brittney and Nicole, so I would say she’s a pretty good role model. You dont see her out making a fool of herself and I respect her hustle all day long. She looks pretty in these pics.

Jscene, did you have a change of heart about Beyonce? You seem pretty positive today.

@ 132, I went to the Beyonce Experience in Dallas also, it was amazing, that girl makes you feel like you feel like you can do anything after leaving her concert. Lol!! At the “Hamburger Helper” part. LOL!!!

“That was so good I wanna make him some Hamburger Helper” we all fell out laughing. But my favorite part had to be “Get Me Bodied extended version” she kilt that ish, had the whole American Airlines rocking, from lil kids to Grandparents. Bey is the ish and aint nobody taking her spot for a long time.

i want her to do well and she is doing great, but i don’t want her to end up like britney!!!!

she seems so awesome but i mean there seems to be so much pressure on her. i’m not a stan, but it just seems like there is a lot of good in her. good luck to her!

well for all you beyonce stans that felt the need to come to her defenses over a comment that really wasn’t anything to fuss about….she obviously doesnt need your help cuz she is doing just fine…i commend her on her hustle that her father peddled into her for years and as i said before from a business stand point i strive to be like her real soon…again i also state that she is overrated which she is and i find it irritating that she is everywhere and has become the face for black beauty…whether you agree or not…JSCENE..(i think) you hit what i was trying to say right on the head…you just took my comment and went into detail…i was too lazy to type all that out so thank you for doing it for me…anchyways…..back to beyonce and her endorsement

@156 I completely understand what your saying, a lot of america thinks that if you are a lighter skin african american you are accepted by white america and as a lighter skin black woman that is not true. At the end of the day they still know that we are black.

I like Beyonce, I wouldnt call myself her biggest fan or anything but i do like her. She works hard at what she does and i have to respect her for that.

noo high-waisted pants should not be worn like this. she’s too wide for them. it is a cute outfit though. i’m hoping that it’s just the camera adding on pounds

Shit that man put his face on tap water (allegedly spring) but you do not see anyone calling his ass out for doing what business is about —selling yourself and your products.

DENISE SAID: I AM A BEYONCE FAN AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT CREDIT CARDS CAN EASILY LURE A PERSON WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE CERTAIN ITEMS WITH WITH CASH, TO SPLURGE. I WAS 22 YEARS OLD WHEN I GOT MY FIRST CREDIT CARD, DESPITE MY MOTHERS URGING; I CONTINUED TO LIVE BEYOND MY MEANS AND SPLURGE. COME ON IT DOES NOT TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE OUT THAT, IF YOU GIVE A 19 OR 22 YEAR OLD A CREDIT CARD, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE GOING TO SPLURGE-HECK MATURE ADULTS DO IT. LETS FACE IT WEALTH IS WHAT THE BLACK COMMUNITY LACKS AND THAT IS WHAT I WAS STRESSING, IN MY PREVIOUS BLOG COMMENT.
WE HEAR ABOUT THE ROCKFELLAS, THE KENNEDYS, THE HILTONS, BUT WHEN WILL WE HEAR ABOUT THE JONES’S-YOU KNOW WHY NOT, BECAUSE WE ARE SO BUSY TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THEM. YOU NEVER HEAR OR SEE ENOUGH BLACK WEALTHY PEOPLE-OK OPRAH, BUT COME ON, I AM TALKING ABOUT FAMILIES WHO COME FROM GENERATIONS OF WEALTH. YES, IF YOU WANT TO USE CREDIT CARDS FINE, BUT INVESTING AND SAVING IS THE KEY TO MONEY WEALTH, USE CANNOT USE CREDIT FOREVER. MY GRANDMOTHER USED CASH FOR EVERYTHING.

Why do they still say she is 25 year old for the last 3 or 4 years they being
saying she 25 years old my daughter is 29 years old and I know that Bey
is older than that. My younger daughter is 19 so I know she been out long
time. And in fact she look older than 25 year old and I agree that it is some
other young black talent women that can be the new face of American Express
and they can also talk with excellent speech.

I respect beyonce and dig her music. beyonce is black( african mixed) not african american. there is a difference. But what does it matter she still not all white.

make money money make money money monay!!!!!!!:) got 2 give the gurl her props she does the dam thang

I think she deserve it, she is very hard working. Beyonce there is one thing that you cannot do and that is act so please stop wasting your time because you will not get an Oscar anytime in the near 50 years.

Bee looks WONDERFUL!!!

GO BEE!!!

Everybody wears weave who can afford it, if it is a weave that’s her business she can afford it. However I’m a mixed black woman who has bascially the same color hair as Beyonce, I’m pretty like her too. My hair is real.

You go Beyonce. Don’t pay attention to haters. You look beautiful.

I think what people fail to understand is people wear weave because they want to not because they have to. Hair is constantly growing so if you cut it, it will grow back. My hair grows very fast, I had a short hair cut and now it’s almost as long as Beyonce’s in this picture and it’s the same color. So sometimes people may accuse people of having a weave and it may have just grown, hair constantly grows. Not everyone with long hair has a weave.

Haha, Beyonce must say to herself every morning “Look at all these people that love me. No matter what I do, they are always talking.” Regardless if it’s haters or fans, people will always take the time to talk about her. If homegirl wasnt making such a huge impact on society, people wouldnt give a damn. Thats why you folks on this blog and ther website writing all type of sh*t about her. She dont let negativity and hate get the best of her, this is the reason why she is so big and successful. Cant say the same about most people.Hmmph!
Yes she is my role model and a damn legend, icon. I would love to see Ciara, Rihanna, Ashanti and all them other fake ass singers make it as far as she did and still keep going.

[...] R&B star Beyonce shot yesterday her first commercial in New York for American Express.

Ignoramuses keep screaming get the paper, make the money, get paid, but don’t forget boreyonce got the knowles klan to support. plus she OWES Sony big time for that flop re-release of boreday. she is just slaving for the white mans product and her counterparts get paid more than her because she got stringy hair in the armani commercial to appear more white doesn’t and will never make boreyonce white. i will not support such hypocrisy. keep praising the money hungry devil.
