♫ NEWS: BEYONCE SPEAKS ON “BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE” / CHRIS BROWN TO RERELEASE EXCLUSIVE
Friday, March 28, 2008

Beyonce on the cover of the April ‘08 issue of JACK Magazine
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.

omg who cares if it wasnt beyonces statement. and you dont know if it was. wtf ppl are so stupid if u dont know the facts then dont type! beyonce carries a laptop with her everywhere she goes she coulda wrote that. and she could told somebody to write it for her. you never know. but weather she wrote it or not it says what needed to be said so jump off that shit. I love Beautiful Nightmare but of course not as a single. i love that beyonce always releases songs that are never singles but they become a hit anyways. for example, SUMMERTIME, was never released as a single and it was the Summer Hit i mean everytime i turned on the radio it was playing. And there are some other songs that were just “leftover tracks” that were played alot too. Beautiful liar is already a hit, well at least a INTERNET hit since it got like 5 million views on youtube and every post about it has like 7 pages of comments. everyones tallking about it she is deff a smart bee lol.
and about chris..never really cared for his music. he was all hype because of his looks i dont cae wat anybody sayss imaa stick with that because if someone else had released “RUN IT” it woulda never been a hit. but all the little girls were obbssed with him with is what led to hus success. he is just like any other medicore R&B singer but all the HYPE is wat has kept him alive. and thats about to die down real quick. i give him 2 more years until he becomes Omarion or Bobby Valentino.

He hasn’t been in the industry that long too even let that thought

There are artists that I am not particularly fond of, I just don’t support them, but there’s no need to knock their hustle because I’m sure there are other people who do like them.
No one is forcing you to listen to Beyonce, no one forced you or anyone else to click on this story. Ten years in showbiz is not that long. Bey is only 26yrs., how is that old? She has accomplished a lot for her 26 yrs, so maybe that’s why she seems old to you.
Stars such as Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Diane Ross, Rollong Stones, Madonna, and Tony Bennet and others, all have been around for 30,40,50 yrs and people still come out to see them. Longevity is the true test of talent and star power. Beyonce has millions of fans all over the world, I’m sure she won’t miss you.

LOL people are so stupid.. why dont u go work on an album in 2 weeks and lets see if it sells 7 milliom copies and counting, has an amazing SOLD OUT tour, and makes history(Irreplaceable 11 WEEKS NUMBER 1!!!!). Any who BRIAN since when has Beyonce became a puppet for her record company???? U act like she doesn’t have a mind of her own. I dunno if u remeber but she’ s IS the one who went and did an album without telling her record company, her manager, and everybody else. She must have a mind of her own with those songs she be writing. LMAO

@ Beyonce, i’m sorry but your idol has not outsold Mariah, Whitney or Madonna. All three of them are on the list of top 10 best-selling female artists of all time. Beyonce is not. In fact, Britney Spears is the only younger person on that list.
B’day was successful, but out of 5 singles it did only spawn one memorable hit and did not do as well Stateside as one would have expected after all the promotion. The numbers are certainly respectable, but after all the hype and “hottest chick in da game” talk, one would expect her to have the best-selling album of the year. Alicia Keys has sold almost as much in the U.S.(after 5 months) as Beyonce did in the world (after more than a year).
Bey is great, but she’s hardly pedstal-worthy when it comes to her sales. Honestly.

I cannot believe some of you have convinced yourselves she didn’t leak the song… IF she had no idea, there’s no way she would have been able to reign it in so fast… And, following this logic, because she knew and was able to reign it in so fast, how could it have been so wildly popular/disseminated that it could virtually die away? You know how things go viral on the net…if it were insanely popular (like the video/footage of her falling) it would be at every net stop… Now, if you’re interested, you can still go to youtube and view the several videos of the song still in existence-they ARE not hard to find but don’t get even a third of the attention other “banned” content has received (The Chappelle Show videos, for instance, mere reruns of skits we’d seen time and time again could pull several million views).

I really hope beautiful nightmare is not the single cause that was horrid. I think she should work on trying to lighten her sound because if she is gonna do pop she has to use a lighter tone or it will not sound good at all. Anyways I don’t know if she really said that, but I think a lot of people should really blame all of the promotions and things on Mr. Mathew Knowles. I wouldn’t say Beyonce is behind it I really think it’s her father who only wants his daughter to succeed at the expense of others. Ex: LeToya, Latavia, and Farrah. Specifically I remember Farrah’s interview when she said they wanted her to go to the tanning salon all the time and they wanted to cut her natural hair cause it was long. I won’t blame Beyonce, but I would blame Daddy Knowles.

@169 she has a big fan base over seas too.why would she start her tour in europe if she didn’t think about it. of course it’s not as big as beyonce’s but alicia hasn’t been in the game as long as bey, but she getting there.

I LOVE Beautiful Nightmare. I personally think Beyonce is the hottest chick in the game. I don’t see why she is basically the most hated on woman in the industry. She doin what she do, makin money, doing what she loves. But what’s fame without the occasional haters, huh? Keep doin ya thang Bee. For every million people that hate her, theres 2 million that love her. That’s a position we’d all like to be in.
And to the people that liked Beautiful Nightmare - Since we got the shit on our iPods and whatnot because of the leak, I doubt it’ll be on the album. lol, ohh well.

at #168 is that why Alicia Keys only released 2 singles from AS I AM. only No One and Like Youll never see me again have been released and its been a minute since her album came out. its cuz they dont know if any other song cud be succesfull. I love AKEYS but record sales aint everything. Alicia Keys has had almost exactly the same success as bee with AS I AM and BDAY. “No One” was the big hit and “Irreplaceble” was the big hit. but this is where Alicia Keys falls under bee. “Upgrade U” was not that much a big hit on the charts but it was on the radio and Every Rap song has said “let me upgrade U” since that song. so its automaticlly a classic. Alicia Will never have a better selling tour then bee cuz no one wanna sit down for 3 hours listenin to depressing music, ill leave that for my ipod. Beyonce has diversity. she got tha emtional ballads “Flaws & All” the Mid Tempo Catchy songs “Irreplacable” and the Crazy uptempos “Ring The Alarm”. Alicia keys only got the mid tempos “No One”…

Alicia doesn’t really have to release another single. She has already sold 4 million in the U.S. (I believe) off of 2 songs. That’s not including any international sales and she has not “re-released” anything and her album has only been out since November. Nobody’s touching her right now. She’s Queen Bitch.

although i agree that alicia and bee are both great artists i dont agree about what someone sed about that she doesnt need to release anymore singles cuz the albums been so succsesful. if u love music u dont just stop releasing singles cuz u already know the album did good. i havent really seen alicia do anything in the last couple of months that has been great shes not active and beyonce was. all those singles and the tour and everything she does she stays active and lets the album live on for a long time Bday has been one of the most talked about albums from 2006-2008 aside from britney spears Blackout. and its because beyonce is everywhere. Alicia need to release some more singles and be more active cuz im getting bored. I feel bad for ppl who arent beyonce fans because you guys miss out on all the fun. being a beyonce fan is great because she is always keeping her fans stuffed with new stuff weather its a new song, new movie, or even a new commercial. If i want something new from bee shes gonna give it. you cant say that about any other artist. alicia releases a album TAKES A BREAKKK releases a album TAKES A BREAKK…BORINGGGG…..beyonce does so many things inbetween. i think alicia cud do so much with her music that shes not doing. “The thing About Love” and “Lesson Learned” are some of my fav songs and i bet u they dont release them because they are not SAFE for radios. Lesson learned deff aint a radio friendly song but it is better then any song playing on the radio. COME ON ALICIA RELEASE LESSON LEARNED AS A SINGLE!!!!

@180 i’m kinda feeling what you saying but come on you make being a beyonce fan a life changing event. i mean yeah she super talented but without a mike or a stage in front of her……… she boring. yeah i said it. and with alicia yeah she really doesn’t need to put out another single, momma made her money and can sit down for now. that’s why alicia is a huge success because she know when to sit her butt down and chill for a minute. that’s why people went out and bought her CD like crazy because they didn’t see or hear from alicia for a while.

Now I am not a Beyonce fan but I must admit that many of you are hating on the girl. Did Beyonce write the statement? Of course not her publicist did which is something that ALL celebrities is Beyonce being criticised for something that the majority of celbrities. It is common to have a spokesperson speak on the celebrity’s behalf.
Yes, I am glad that Beyonce is taking a break from music and exploring further into movies. However, like someone else said many people only want Beyonce to take a break in order for their favorite artists to shine. Some people have it and some people do not have it. It is what it is. And Beyonce taking a break from the music scene is no guarantee that some of these other ladies are going to blow up and take over the game because if that was the case they would have already done so regardless of whether or not Beyonce is releasing music.

AaDamn all the girl did was release a statement. If she wouldn’t have did that people would have been complaining. She did it and these haterS with a capital S still gon find a reason to hate. Why should she even have to release a statement to promote Kelly Michelle or Solange. Don’t we all know Kelly is out and that those 2 are getting ready to come out. If yall would take the time and go support them by buying there albums it wouldn’t be a problem. No yall rather sit on the computer hating on Beyonce who don’t need no more fans because she got enough to support her. If you don’t want to hear another song or see another one of her movies fine go about your business cause she gon still do what she do and gon make a lot of millions doing it. And as far as comparisons between her and Alicia aint none they two different kinds of artist that sell a hell of a lot of records and make millions doin it. How many millions yall make this year not even half a million? So damn what she aint in the top 15 top selling singer yet I bet she real damn close. 4 albums out of 6 including one ofsolo albums have diamonds that means selling 10 million or more albums. And another one which is Destiy fulfilled is 1.5 million away from having a diamond. All those singers you mentioned other than Britney have been out 15 -35 years making music so please with that mess.
