♫ NEWS: BEYONCE TO RETIRE SOON? / MARIAH ON OPRAH / INFO ON BILL COSBY’S ALBUM

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

BEYONCE PERFORMANCE AT MADISON SQ. GARDEN LAST YEAR

According to the NY Daily News, Beyonce may be retiring following the release of her upcoming LP:

The diva is currently working on a new album, but her cousin Angelica Knowles tells our source that it will be her last. Instead, Beyonce plans to spend her days scouting talent for new hubby Jay-Z’s upcoming label, The Carter Music Group.

Beyonce’s first protege is rumored to be an R&B artist named Chelsea Thomas. Her reps couldn’t be reached for comment. [source]

Not to sure about this one. Beyonce is one hardworking lady so I know she will be releasing more than one more album.

MARIAH PERFORMS “BYE, BYE” ON OPRAH

Mariah Carey’s new album, E=MC2, is in stores now (click here to read Brian’s review) and the superstar has been doing promos left and right this week. She was recently on the Oprah Winfrey Show and performed her ballad “Bye, Bye” off of the new album. Click here to peep the full episode.

MORE INFO ON BILL’S NEW ALBUM

We told you about Bill Cosby’s upcoming hip-hop/jazz album a couple months ago and I just found out some new info on his new release.

The album entitled, “Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency” blends the comedian’s concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack will be released next month.

“I do not rap on any of these things,” Cosby told The Associated Press on Monday. “I wouldn’t know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words.”

Cosby said the hip-hop music he hears is profane and degrading. His album is “the opposite of what I think is the profanity for no particular reason, the misogyny for no particular reason,” he said. “It really looks at the frustration and the anger that a young man may have.”

The subject matter? “The value of an education. The value of respecting one’s self and … giving (listeners) a chance to raise their self-esteem and confidence,” Cosby said. [SOURCE]

The album, assembled by Cosby’s longtime musical collaborator Bill “Spaceman” Patterson, contains rhymes provided by guest rappers.

FBill Cosby needs to sit down somewhere nobody wants to hear a hip hop CD from him. Why are there so many obvious Beyonce haters on a B post. Lol @27 for trying to make it seem like Beyonce music is at fault for grown or bad kids. With all the terrible things going on in the world you would say that. And Beyonce not over exposed the blogs are. When was the last time you seen her doing something other than pictures or hearing about her from blogs or the media. Just because every blog talks about her almost everyday it’s not her fault she aint the one in your face. People so tired yet they can’t just move on and stop commenting on her every post. AAnyway your fans will miss you if this is indeed true and we hope one day you will come back. I bet even then the haters will be salivating at the mouth to comment on how tired of you they are with their misreable jealous selves.

Mariah said that “Bye Bye” was especially important to her and her friend (and co-writer) Maryann Tatum. She mentioned that it was a difficult song to sing because your throat closes up when you become emotional.

“I have all different parts of my register that requires maintenance and always has. It doesn’t bother me as I know what I can do.”

Mariah laughs off recent comments about her five octave voice not being in the same shape as it was. “I think critics should listen to the album and the last two songs in particular before they say anything about my voice. I think I broke the world record for highest notes and I don’t want to sound arrogant but my voice has always been naturally kind of lower but people always expect me to talk like that (puts on high voice) all the time.” cont.

Bey will NOT be retiring only a warning to her fans not too support Leona Lewis or else!!

Love ya Bey though but why would you say or supposedly say you will scout talent for “Carter Music Group” now that was a lame pr statement. I would have said just to take time off and settle into married life or something. That “Couple” is all about that dolla dolla.. I am still trying to figure out Jay’s whole deal. He is not longer Pres at Def Jam and then album sales alright and then all of sudden he is walking down the aisle. Not typical Jay at all not too me at least. Hmm calling my Jay to get his SWAGGER back. Marriage is not a bad thing but I just keep seeing you on the yacht in Big Pippin saying you’re going to be a playa for life—-I miss that Jay Z, sorry…

you guys blow this whole thing out of proportion. Not a hater,but if beyonce’s wants to retire than let her retire it is not the end of the world and there are plenty of talented beautiful females out there not just her. I mean people are dying out there and with illnesses and sickness all yaw care about is her retiring wow i guess the world is coming to an end. not trying to be sarcastic and i’m definanetly not a hater,but come on seriously. Oh and you people should be worshipping GOD not her because he makes the world.

there is one more thing i need to say and that is i am really worried about the beyonce stans and it’s not because she is retiring it’s because you people sound like yaw are really obssessed with her. I mean I’m sitting here reading these comments,but some of you sond like if she retires yaw are going to committ suicide or or something. I’m not even trying to be funny I am really serious how can you love someone you don’t even know and it’s not just her this goes for all celebrities. Sorry for any of yaw forreal.

LOL I bet the only reason she might retire is because J said “No bitch.. the gig is up and I’m not getting any younger. Either lie down and make me some damn babies or your lil ass is grass!” hahaha I’m so bad!

THERE GOES JAY-Z CONTROLLING HER ALREADY. NOW THAT HE HAS PAPERS ON HER HE WANTS HER OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT, HE EVEN WANTS HER TO WORK FOR HIM SO THAT SHE IS ALWAYS UNDER HIS WATCH. JAY-Z IS SO JEALOUS AND INSECURE IT IS RIDICULOUS. THEY ARE GOING TO END UP JUST LIKE WHITNEY & BOBBY, IKE & TINA.

Beyonce’s PG-13 music ?????????????ok

ooohh give it to me deeper
ooohh giving me the fever
ooohh now you got my feet up
this one is a keeper
now the second verse is playing
ooohh we try to stand up
ooohh hold me while my hands up
ooohh then the music pick up, i’m thinking to myself again

(chorus)

when your not here, (I sleep in your T-shirt)
I wish you were here (to take off your T-shirt)
after we make love (I sleep in your T-shirt,
wake up in your T-shirt, still smell the scent of your cologne)
i need your feel (I sleep in your T-shirt)
baby i need your help (to take off your T-shirt)
after we make love(I sleep in your T-shirt, wake up in your T-shirt
still smell the scent of your cologne)

(verse 2)

outside i hear the rain aganist my window pain
hold up a minute thought i heard your name
my mind playing tricks on me again
i hear knocks at the door, is that my baby home
why couldn’t it be a reality
look at the clock it said four o’ three
at nine he will be ariving on a plane
then we’ll be making love and hearing the song again

(bridge)
(chorus)

(verse 3)

oh boy i been waiting
now my body shaking
your so deep, baby please take it easy
I look your face and, got me heart racing
your so deep, baby please take it easy

Laying so closely
I feel your skin rubbing and touching me
Only sweat between us
Feeling you kissing and pleasing me
I rub your back
I kiss your neck
I know that you love when we touch like that
I can feel you need me
Feels so good to me
Feels so good to me

Going outta my head I think I’m loosing all my mind
Drive me crazy burning candles making love all night
Feels so strange it feels so crazy to be in your world
In your arms lost for words
You’ve got me

NO wonder there are 13year old teens getting stds and babies..this weaved up trick is letting them thing its ok to be a hot n the tail!!

Let B live…..it’s crazy to me that if someone makes a song and disappears they’re “One Hit Wonders”…if they make something out of the norm…it’s corny….(that’s why it’s called being UNIQUE)…if they take control of their careers and ensure that they are successful then ya’ll are tired of them…It’s always that “crabs in a barrel” syndrome….meaning if our people try to make it in life or do something positive with their lives…ya’ll are always trying to bring them down. I can’t stand that…all other races are supportive of their people if their doing something good…but not us too many catty bitches with NOTHING to prove…hating on the next beautiful, successful and kind person, because ya’ll are unhappy with yourselves…I’m out…this shit is disappointing…..Stick together because GOD knows we’re all we got!

Honestly, as much as people seem to hate Beyonce she is really not that bad of a performer, actress, designer, and a singer…I just think people cannot stand her because she is so successful(success always brings envy…and her success is huge..a lot of people thought that she would not make it this far..I think God has truly blessed her and she has remained humble and thankful and that is the reason He continues to bless her)(despite the rumors much to my dismay..because people cannot think for themselves she has proven herself as an artist)….I really honestly think that Beyonce is sick of being an artist (all the drama and hate can make anyone irritable)…I mean think about it….every time she comes out she dominates…She said in an interview that she cannot understand her success sometimes and she said at the rate she is going she will be able to retire early…Beyonce does not even have to try anymore….She rushed and recorded B’Day in two weeks and it sounded decent..It was no dangerously in love but it was still a good CD..Beyonce has so much creativity and talent that she does not even have to try compared to these other artist (she honestly has not consistent competition to keep her motivated…it is like BEYONCE and that is it…)…I also believe that Beyonce works very hard… She is not afraid to be open minded and take risks and be who she is….man talk about the AMERICAN DREAM….Beyonce is the epitome of hard work, determination, perseverance, consistency, and dedication…People are happy for now that she is leaving but I bet in a few years people are going to begin to appreciate her and understand her long list of contributions to music…This young woman has truly changed music…Not only by being a female that is dominating for once but she has overcome and disproved a lot of DOUBLE STANDARDS in society…Women in America should praise a woman like her instead of hating and being jealous of her….If you do not like her music that is fine but at least appreciate her talent…(you actually have to get pass the hype about her beauty and her booty and truly see that she not only has talent but has taken criticism and used it to grow as a person….She said in her interview on Celebrity Expose that she welcomed criticism and took that as motivation to make her music more innovative and used it as a way to grow and evolve….Take your break Beyonce it is well deserved….And for the record I think she is under-exposed compared to a lot of other celebrities….. (Britney Spears…Jennifer Aniston..Angelina Jolie….More Exposure to minority entertainers please…..)

Hey I am looking forward to that Bill Cosby album, maybe he will raise the standard for some of these other rappers. I am huge fan of rap music but I am becoming very disappointed with some of the messages that are being promoted, especially because I am of the younger generation and the messages are aimed towards us….Rappers need to truthfully raise the bar on their music…this degrading faze is played out…I think an album such as Bill’s will raise self esteem and promote a better agenda for the younger generation. I am looking forward to it. People seem to attack Bill for his vision because it goes against the opinions of many but honestly we have to be willing to change this overly sexualized, materialized, separatist, and violent culture that we live in. he youth has been corrupted not only by the society that we live in but the youth is being exploited by the older generation…This hatred did not just appear out of thin air..it adapted and evolved with each passing generation…The youth is in serious need of guidance…. People are so quick to blame the rappers but it is also the parents responsibility to be a more effective and positive force in their children’s life….People are so quick to make excuses towards the media and music but in general we live in a very pessimistic society….We as people need to have a more positive outlook on change and social reform. Bill Cosby not only complained and talked about the reoccurring issues at hand but he now willing to take the next step and be active and take action to make his dream a reality. Lets not focus so much on how he is going about this but rather congratulate him for being one of the first to take action. Like the saying goes..If you do not have anything nice to say then simply do not say anything at all….Keep up the good work Bill. (The next time you decide to complain about Mariah, or Beyonce, or Bill…Just think about how imperfect you are and remember that they are human too…) (At least they try to be constructive instead of being a complainer all the time….)

If you are going to post a Beyonce song then you need to post the entire song…You are being a little biased “nineasiansarebaldformylacefrontwig”…The first song is called t-shirt which was an album filler on destiny fufilled….which was never released…..The other song is called speechless which is off the album dangerously in love….Speechless is a song about love as I see you were trying to get your point across but you did not post the whole song which is more about being in love and has a more passionate feel..post the first verse…..to be fair….The song will send a totally different message then….Her first album was very mature and more about love….And some artist have a huge fan base you cannot expect all of Mariah’s or Beyonce’s or Justin’s music to be teenagers…some music is aimed for the older generation (fan base) that they have….
