Glad it was just a “work in progress” because it was nothing special. I’m over Chris Brown too. Can’t wait for the era of little boy singers to be over.

I really don’t understand why artist feel the need to re-release their albums….can someone explian the logic behind it.

LoI am a true B fan but I was not feeling that song. Looking forward to the new album but I agree with her, it is not her time release new material.

Whew…I thought she was going to drop another rushed mediocre album like B’day.

nobody cares about her comrades either.

It’s horrible that Beyonce has to “sit it out” for everyone else to get some shine… if they have talent people will see it and it will shine through… Beyonce you should’ve went with “BN” as a single

LOL @ # 1 okaaay.

Bey that’s like saying you doing better then your girls even though you are lol
Chris goodluck on your rerelease can’t wait to see it cause I was at one them concert and IM FIRST YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Bey should cocentrate on her movies to goodluck BEE

the re-release thing is whack, wth?

Let the Beyonce hating begin………Can’t wait for more good music from Beyonce cuz B’Day was a good album.

That picture doesn’t look like Bey!

I’m ONLY looking forward to Solange’s cd. I love to hear her sing!

All of these artists can stop with the re-release’s. I mean honestly, who would buy it, especially if they’ve already copped the original? What a waste of time and money…

I think it was nice that she plugged her girls. And for those of you who are
about to start saying that this is an attempt to save face b/c of the response
to the new track (like so many have suggested elsewhere on the web)—
please give it a rest. It is starting to seem a bit crazy and this is coming
from someone who is not a superfan of Beyonce. All the “publicity stunt”
conspiracy theories about Bey, and Rihanna and Chris, and Kim/Reggie and
Selita/Os and whoever else evokes so much unnessary energy in the form of
hate are really weird and make me think that being on the internet is more
than a hobby for some folks— so, “whoever you think you are right now…”
this is not your real life…..
***** She steps back to avoid the ambush of swinging fists************

#1 i totally agree i am honestly over him… i was once feeling him till he started pimping out Rihanna for promo. and he will SOON FACE THE SAME FATE AS OMARION… BEING FRIED UP QUICK!

I think it honestly came from Beyonce’s heart, I like the fact that she plugged in her best feriends that’s cute. Vhris do your thang.

Oh yeah I first I think.

Wow another rereleased album this year? I must admit I wasnt really feeling Chris Brown’s Exclusive, so probs this album will be okay with the extra songs.

But I was totally feeling Bee’s Beautiful Nightmare! But Im glad she is making her time concentrating on her films at the mo, then take time doing her album later in time like Angel said.

What’s with all this re release bull? First remixes and now re releases. I guess the music industry is really struggling.

Don’t support re-release! lol… luv CB though…

too much airbrushing on Beyonce… she doesn’t need all that airbrushing, she can hold her own… luv her still don’t like the cover…

that magazine cover photo is horrible!!! beyonce knows she can do better

What’s the beef over re-releases? None of the complainers bought the original release of these albums anyways. lol

I love Beyonce’s new song. Great improvement from some of her other joints in the past. She’s going to set your favorite flops straight again and keep the cackling hens mad. Cackle on!

NOW BEFORE YALL START WITH THE BULLSHIT OF “OH SHE TRYING TO SAVE FACE SHIT” CUT IT THE FUCK OUT BECAUSE BEFORE THE WAS PULLED OFF OF YOUTUBE IT HAD OVER 2/3MILLION VIEWS BEFORE IT WAS PULLED SO YALL CAN BLOW THAT SPEECH OUT YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW LMAO!!!

AND I BEG TO DIFFER, FUCK BOTH OF THOSE MOVIES, I’M REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TO THE ALBUM NOW BECAUSE B-DAY WAS DIFFERENT FROM DIL AND THIS ALBUM WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM B-DAY SO I’M REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TOTHIS ALBUM!!!

Beautiful Nightmare sounded like a cool track but it didn’t seem like something Beyonce would actually release. It sounded more like something she was just playing around with. My guess is that she is going to take her time next time around to be sure she puts out the best songs she can find. I also think she has heard about all the flack with her not letting Kelly, Michelle and Solange shine a little bit. Its sweet that she’s taking it to heart but I don’t know what good it will do. B just has the star quality and she shouldn’t have to down play it.

Stop hatin on Chris cause he’s “supposely” involved wit Ri Ri……Damn can this man find happiness to without his “so called fans” downing him…Chris you still have my vote baby….

Ya’ll stay hating on folks on CL comments sections… the reporters on CL, never hate on any artist but ya’ll stay wrting hateful comments about these celebrities

beyonce didnt say all that! We all know she cant read let alone write. Sorry but she may to talented - great performer/singer and all but when she talks she sounds like idiot. IMO!

If CB’s people were smart they would put out Take You Down but thats just my personal opinion. And quit announcing your ambitions Chris. “I wanna be the Prince of Pop” stay in your lane sone you aint even double platinum.

Beautiful Nightmare was hot, i wanna hear more of it, and I can’t wait for the movie.

Chris Brown, blah.

Bey is very talented n I love Beyonce, but this message should have come out YEARS ago…those other girls have good music too, but her money hungry daddy doesnt put the money behind their projects like he does B, glad to see someone supporting something else for a change…Good look!

Chris needs to re-release that with the remix of “Take You Down”
And Beyonce needs to shut the hell up and let us enjoy her being gone…

Sidebar: Isn’t it a lil’ too late to promote anything Kelly does and doesnt’ Michelle keep herself as far away from Bey as she can???

And why did they use this photoshopped as pic of her??? LAME

Calm down KB; it’s not that serious. Take a deep breath. It’s ok.

B eyonce sister Songs are WACK and Chris Brown is the shit!

Papa Knowles aka Ike aka Shameless as Hell Manager put that statement out. Who are they trying to fool.

Truth be told that Michelle song is a good spring/summer groove. me likes! Solange has a pretty good sound. Kelly is okay but boring as hell. I think she might let Michelle and Solange leave her in the dust.

Beautiful Nightmare was a nightmare and when artists put out re-releases that means they know the first one SUCKED so they gotta TRY and make it decent.

Am I the only one whos pages on cl gets cut off? Im not seeing the whole page on some posts here?

Beyonce the queen? to justify her actions in front of people that “don’t matter”?
I wonder how the fans feel now?
She a dumb ass

LMAO @FlyLikeMe

My bad LOL, I aint mean to put it on caps lock, I wasnt paying attention.

@ Wow you should re read your own comment before you say someone else “sounds like idiot”

ii

some of you all are really ridiculous on how much you worship these celebrities, i hope yall can explain this to god when time comes.

i’m glad that wack shit was not a first single! and damn chris i thought PICTURE PERFECT was gon be the next single..u fuckin up..maybe the album will delete some of those wack ass songs this time like damage and wanna be…and help me..ugh those were horrible

j Jay-z’s is gay and lives with a football player. She needs to leave that undercover and get with a real brother.

@ Lucymae

You aint’t tellin nothing but the truth! Truely sad.

I have to say… B is cool and all, but I was not at all feeling that Beautiful Nightmare. The girl is really mart though. First she started out in one of the most successful girl groups of our time and then ventured of solo in which she is still making millions! Go B!!! Solange.. I’m looking out for u 2!

Chris… I got love for you, but what’s with the rerelease! Please don’t go and pull a Rihanna!!! Take u Down should def. be the next single instead of some Forever! PLZ!

I disagree with #22, Beyonce is no airhead she has a great business sense on her. She has been around now for over 10 years she has watched and learned that’s why people are still wondering if she ’s married or not, not to say we care but being in her line of business she has carried her self well. Yes she says the same things but they are according to what she is working on at the time.

So I guess she is suppose to tell all her business? People dont like what they dont know. Since we dont have no flies on the wall in here she gets a lot of negativity from people wanting to know her business. So she’s no dummy at all.

i ii I agree WITH THE PERSON THAT SAID CONCRETELOOP STAY HA HATIN’…MOS DEFINITELY…….AND WHO R THESE PPL THAT THINK BDAY AY WASNT GOOD,,,,CUZ EVERY CHICK I KNOW…PLAYED THE SHIT O OUT OF THAT ALBUM AND IN THE CLUBS..U COULDNT GET RID OF IT…IM MISSIN THE WACK COMMENTS…IM CONVINCED THAT ONLY LESS ATTRACTIVE WOMEN DONT LIKE BEYONCE…REAL TALK….IT AINT NUTHIN AS AN ENTERTAINER SHE DONT DELIVER…NOT ONE THING…YALL USED 2 2 MEDIOCRITY..THE RIHANNAS…IM SICK OF CHICKS DANCIN AND LIP SYNCHING..REAL TALK…..SINCE THE BEGINNIN BEYONCE HAS PUSHED THE REST OF THAT GROUP…WHAT PLANET YALL ON..SHE ALWAYS TALKIN BOUT KELLY SHIT AND HOW TALENTED HER SISTER AND MICHELLE IS…..PPL WILL SAY ANYTHING…MATTER OF FACT SHE GOT THE RIGHT 2 B A BITCH BUT SHHAS ALWAYS BEEN CLASSY….FANS AND FUCKBOYZ HATE AND AN CR CREATE SHIT….IZ IT ME OR AM I MISSIN THIS HOOPLA ON THIS EURO ROPEAN SOUND…WHEN THA FUC DID BLK MUSIC HAV 2 BORROW FROM E EUROPE…..NOW THAT SHIT IZ WHATS WACK…THE WATERIN DOWN OF B BLACK MUZIK……AND IZ IT ME OR WAS B’DAY ALREADY A DANCE ALBUM……WHY EV’BODY ALL HAPPY LIKE SHE AINT JUST DO THAT..EVERY LAST TRACK ON BDAY WAS FAST AND A DANCE TRACK…..I BEEN NOTICIN THEM DUMB ASS COMMENTS ABOUT SHE TAKIN FROM THEM LAME ASS DADANCIN CHICKS WHEN SHE STARTED ALL THIS DANCIN SHIT WITH THAT LALAST ALBUM…..PPL WANNA HATE SO MUCH..THEY MISS THE FACTS….CATCH UP..SHE AHEAD OF THE GAME….AND FOR THE FOLKS WHO LIKE 2 SAY SO AND SO IZ BETTA THAN THIS LADY….R BLIND..SHE RUN HER LALANE

It is not that serious some of you all. I loved the song. But glad she is saying “It is not my time to put out new music.”

RECORD COMPANIES RERELEASE AND REPACKAGE ALBUMS CLEARLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE TECHNOLOGY ERA! WE DONT HAVE TO BUY THEIR MUSIC! WE CAN DOWNLOAD IT. SO IN ORDER TO MAKE MORE MONEY OFF OF THE ALBUM, THEY ADD A FEW MORE “UNRELEASED” TRACKS/DVD INSERTS THAT THEY PURPOSEFULLY DIDNT ADD TO THE ORIGINAL CD SO THAT THE LITTLE GIRL STANS OF THE WORLD WILL PRESSURE THEIR MOMMIES TO GO TO BEST BUY AND REBUY IT CAUSE THERE ARE NEW PICTURES, SONGS, AND A VIDEO!

WITH A RERELEASE/REPACKAGE COMPANIES ARE CLOSER TO MAKING IN SALES THE BASE MARGINS NEEDED TO BE SOLD IN ORDER TO KEEP THE ARTIST IN THE COMPANY, AND MAKING THE COMPANY (PRIMARILY, ARTIST SECONDARY) MORE MONEY AND HAVING A PRETTY LOW OVERHEAD FOR ADDING “NEW” MATERIAL.

THATS IT KIDS! MARKETING, AT ITS “FINEST?”

YES, Thank Goodness! Thank goodness, B told her publicist or someone else to carefully write this very crafted response! Yes, B fade away for a while! Let not only Kelly, Solange, and Michelle Shine, let the whole music industry shine for a while without your daunting presence! Even beauty and unquestionable talent when forced onto an audience is overwhelming and irritating! I think its wise, if B can be humble enough to lay low during filming, or recoup for another album away from the spotlight. Dont worry B! Noone will take your place while your gone!

@45 How do you sound? Anytime someone else has to step back so you can shine says a LOT about you or shall i say your fav artist!

i like beyonce just like the next person but i hate when she tries to do to much in little time…but good look for mentioning her friends.

I Its not that with B on the scene noone can shine, its that when she is on the the scene she is EXTRA like the show, and she pulls out all the stops to make sure that she is the only face seen and heard, and maybe thats an exxageration but I think some of what I have observed resonates with other music fans…..there is no other artist as extra as Beyonce, it’s no secret. As quaint and proper as she acts in public I can tell she is a beast professionally and I am sure she struggles to fade to the background while interest in new and up and coming artist grows…but please just for a little while B….lol Then you can come back and give to us all hard again with an album and a re-release album with an entire video complication for every single song on the album! Im we’ll love it! EXTRA!

I THINK THE REASON THEY RE-RELEASE BECAUSE OF THE MEDIOCRE
SALES THAT ARTISTS HAVE HAD IN THE PAST YEARS. THE ARE NOT
EVEN GO PLATINUM. SO THEY RE-RELEASE TO AT LEAST GET THAT…I

GUESS…YO CONCRETE LOOP WHATS UP WITH THE MARGINS…LOL!!!!

@48 Oh ok whatever you say

That did not come out of beyonce’s mouth. that is definetly a daddy knowles statement 4 real! now i’ma go and listen to that song and see wats up!

I cant wait for the rerelease of Chris Brown’s cd.

I looooooooooooooove beyonce….im sad she isnt releasing something..i never tire of her or her music…

its not her fault she got the star quality and these other chicks dont…but yea B..let em get some shine while they can cuz u already know when u decide to step back out everyone else might as well hang it up lol

As much as I want to hear new music from Beyonce, I’m glad she is taking her time with this. All these delusional fans who think Kelly, Solange, Michelle, and all these other female artists are magically going to become superstars just because Beyonce isn’t out are crazy. Some people have star power and some just don’t. Beyonce may not be the best dancer or singer but she has the indescribable quality that makes her a star. Sooo Ashanti’s album…NOT! Rihanna re-release…NOT! Brandy’s album definitely!

To

Some of you are really scary with the stalker comments. I wonder if you love yourselves as much.

Not a good pic, that looks like her head on someone elses body.

To me honestly, Beyonce keeps the game exciting, Rihanna too a little bit, but Beyonce keeps me interested because she makes exciting music I’m looking foward to her album more than her movie! IDK she has this thing about her, always did after Writings on The Wall album with DC, I just love her new song too. I cant wait for her album.

CHRIS BROWN NEEDS TO SIT HIS ARROGANT PUBERTY PRONED AZZ DOWN!!!! IM FED UP OF DIS LIL NON-SINGIN SHOWOFF DANCING LIKE HE GOT ANTS IN HIS DRAWS. NIGGA SIT DOWN ONLY DUMBASS TEENAGED GIRLZ AND DEEZ OVER-AGED BABY MAMAS LIKE U.

Is it me, or did they digitally re-touch the hell out of her body on this cover?

Dang… seems like everyone is jumping on the ‘Euro/house/pop” bandwagon…. I just can’t wait to hear music from different artists that sounds exactly the same!!! Now that’s creativity folks! LOL

I liked the beautiful nightmare song..it was different for Beyonce, but i’m glad that she recognizes that she needs a break from music and that sometimes we need a break from hearing her music….that statement had heavy influence from a publicist though…i’ve never heard any of her statments sound like that..still love her though.

Music just doesn’t leak they knew what tthey were doing!

in the last beyonce post (the leaked track), I complained that Matthew Knowles likes to put Solange on the backburner. But you know—Beyonce shouldn’t have to wait for Michelle, Kelly, Solange to release their albums before she can release any new singles. It’s not her fault that those chicks–along with Ashanit, Mya, etc–have NO TALENT! THAT IS not Beyonce’s fault. The fact that Kelly can’t even sell 1,000 copies is not Beyonce’s fault. The fact that Michelle has a monotonous voice…is not Beyonce’s fault. I think Bee should just keep doing her name. Shit…release a new single every month!! I really wish she would release a new single every month. I’ve realized I got out and go to the club a lot more after a new Beyonce album is released—-because her songs keep people RUNNING TO THE DANCE FLOOR. those other chicks.—no way could they ever do that!!!!!!

glad she is taking a break, cuz im sure when she comes back out, she will bring more hits that majority of everyone will love. I must admit though that the statement about Kelly michelle seemed kind of out of place lol, but i guess she is trying to show that she supports her people

I’m glad she and her people sent this statement to set the record straight. Personally I love the song and I’ve seen that most people are feeling this song. So when her album does come out, it will be over and the haters are going to be so mad, as usual. I also don’t see why people don’t give Solange and Michelle. I heard their leaked songs and they are great! I cannot wait for their albums. Well, I’m going to sit back and wait for the Beyonce bashing and stan vs. hater war to begin once again.

1. Good post #44.

2. B stays taking L’s on ConcreteLoop lol, her statement is interesting though….

publicity hungry

@64.yea whateva

Damn B-Day was bangin in the clubs like that? LOL! And I love the Beautiful Nightmare song and I dont how folks is bashin the song because if Usher’s new song can make No.1 On Billboard & I-tunes, what makes yall think that Beyonce’s song wont? Once this song hits Nightclubs It woulda been a wrap. That song is banger.

IM OVER CHRIS BROWN HES SO WACK.

at beyonce….U NEED A BREAK GIRL…

It’s time for Bee to take a little rest, she just got off this world tour and it’ll be good if Chris Brown release a new album not a re-release.

Yesterday, I leaked “Beautiful Nightmare,” on some websites, and I thought it was done. Apparently some of you don’t think so. It is not my time to put out new music because I told Mariah and Madonna I wouldn’t so they could get some shine. If you really want to do me a favor, you have to support my girls Kelly, Michelle and my sister Solange. I’d really like to finish my next solo cd first before I have to think about reforming Destiny’s Child and having to include my broke down sister. ..actually putting her to work instead of having her running around thinking she can write. Please. Kelly just re-released her album digitally in the US again (rolls eyes), so if you have a few dollars get “Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe.” at the bargain bin in a few weeks. Michelle is about to put out the first single, “We Break The Dawn,” from her so called R&B album I told her not to do and Solange’s single, “I Decided,” is getting on my nerves.

I would not be surprise if Beyonce hurried up and put something out soon just to complete with Ashanti. Her first single & video are HOT. Beyonce does not like someone else being the center of attention for too long. I like Beyonce but I strongly believe the reason she rushed B’day was because Letoya Luckett had put out a single that was getting too much airplay. Letoya’s face was everywhere till B’day came out. I believe Letoya’s Cd and 2 singles were more successful than Kelly’s last 2 Cd’s.

Beyonce’s qoute sounded fake as hell.
either way im glad she’s taking a break from the game.
Rihanna needs to do the same.
im getting tired of hearing ‘Umbrella or Please Dont Stop The Music’ every 5 minutes.

as of Chris’
i thought artists whose album didnt do well re-release their album.
i thought Exclusive did good.
as a chris fan, im gonna get it.

I LOVE BEYONCE!! she’s so classy and she’s just like her mother. i love the relationship they have. i think its so cute and something that young girls can look up to. i cant wait until her new album comes out whenever that is.

I Love CHRIS BROWN TOO… but damn! everyone is doin re-releases of albums and stuff! and they wonder why cd sales are lower than ever. this could be one reason why. i agree with #71.. a new album would be nice for you Chris! im still bumpin that Exlcusive tho!
