Beyonce released an official statement on her website, BeyonceOnline.com about the leaking of the new song, “Beautiful Nightmare.”

“Yesterday, ‘Beautiful Nightmare,’ a demo I’ve been working on for possible inclusion on my next album, leaked on some websites. I want to thank all my fans for the positive response to the song, but I want to tell you that this is just a work in progress.

It is not my time to put out new music. If you really want to hear some really great music now, you have to support my girls Kelly, Michelle and my sister Solange. Kelly just re-released her album digitally in the US, so check out Ms. Kelly: Diva Deluxe. Michelle is about to put out the first single, ‘We Break The Dawn,’ from her album and Solange’s single, ‘I Decided,’ is already one of my favorites.”

I think it’s really hilarious that she is shamelessly plugged all her best girlfriends in her statement. Something about this just feels like none of that came from Beyonce’s mouth. I’m glad that she’s saying that it’s not time for her to put out new music. I love Beyonce as much as the next person, but I really want her to just focus on this movie and then concentrate on the music side. (Thanks to Larry for sending this in.)

CHRIS BROWN TO RERELEASE EXCLUSIVE

Seems like it’s the year of the rerelease and repackaging. Chris Brown is next up on the list. In a couple of months, he plans to rerelease his sophomore album, Exclusive, with a few extra tracks as well as a DVD with music videos and an inside look on his US tour.

“It’s very fortunate, my label wants me to repackage the album and release some new records,” Brown explained. “I’ve been recording a lot of new records as well as having some songs that haven’t been released yet that I can put on my repackaging. I might put my tour that I did in the States on my repackaging. I did a big tour in the States. I want to put that in the DVD part, add some of my videos on it.”

The new single is titled “Forever,” and is produced by none other than Polow Da Don. Chris says that the track has a more European, house-pop flavor. Not surprised. It has taken the place of the song “Down,” which was being considered for Brown’s 4th single from the album.

“We went into the studio, Polow gave me a beat, and I just started writing. His record is more of a European, techno, house-type feel. We wanted to give it that other side of crossover, and go a little bit to that pop realm. Hopefully, I’ll be the Prince of Pop. I don’t want to say I’m the King; I just hopefully can be the Prince of Pop.”

Aim high, Chris.

    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.

  2. Prettygirl90221

    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.

  3. RPRp

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

    nobody cares about her comrades either.

  4. tigermichal

    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

  5. Lovely young lady 22123

    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

  6. kaykay

    the re-release thing is whack, wth?

  7. LILU87

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

  8. 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…

  9. TamDiggy

    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************

  10. chris

    #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!

  11. BIGGESTAALIYAHFAN

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. JAKE STEED

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

  14. Truth

    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…

  15. becky

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

  16. BLACKANDMILD

    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!

  17. KB

    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!!!

  18. mzsweetface

    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.

  19. Erica

    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….

  20. tigermichal

    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

  21. WOW

    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!

  22. Greg_Arious

    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.

  23. Trouble

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

    Chris Brown, blah.

  24. vee

    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!

  25. SweetThang729

    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

  26. FlyLikeMe

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

  27. suga

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

  28. KSH

    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.

  29. CALMANDRELAXED

    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.

  30. cl lover

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

  31. voice

    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

  32. KB

    LMAO @FlyLikeMe

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

  33. Greg_Arious

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

  34. lucymae

    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.

  35. crunkpoet

    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

  36. Mutada al sader

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

  37. FlyLikeMe

    @ Lucymae

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

  38. KIKI08

    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!

  39. Bored

    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.

  40. BIGVON

  41. Meka

    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.”

  42. YOUWILLNOT

    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?”

  43. sa Star

    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!

  44. Curious

    @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!

  45. african_queen

    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.

  46. sa Star

    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!

  47. SHA

    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. Curious

    @48 Oh ok whatever you say

  49. Shay

    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!

  50. SHAYIZZLE

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

  51. Pass me an Advil...NOW!!

    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

  52. Phil-Up

    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!

  53. FlyLikeMe

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

  54. Sag1970

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

  55. Young One

    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.

  56. Greatestloveofall

    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.

  57. ME2

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