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

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

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

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.

>>>I’ll believe it about Beyonce when I see it. If it’s true, good luck with that.

>>>Evidently, Bill Cosby doesn’t listen to ALL hip-hop, because he’s making assumptions that all of it is tasteless. I need him to sit his ass down somewhere, and shut up.

That’s one big ass ugly wig beyonce has on…….why? And i could careless either way if she retires….we can chose to buy the cd’s or not, and with this last one, i chose not…..

Mimi is really promoting her cd. Oprah is a big fan of Mimi’s too; she invites her to every Legends Ball.

A jazz cd for Bill? Okay, that’s a good look i guess..

Oh mariah…

beyonce: that’s prob gonna happen, the retirement thing that is, but i doubt so soon

Bill. C should be interesting, I remember how ‘Cliff’ used to love his Jazz in the Cosby Show Days.

However, he’s always going off at the mouth about something negative that’s ‘black’ related. Maybe he should listen to some more meaningful forms of hip hop. its not all ‘Rims and Timbs’. True hip hop is still alive through a minority of artists today…

Yeah right Bee is not going anywhere and we all know that. I for one will be pissed if she retires . .. she can take a break to enjoy her marriage and having some kids but not retire . She is and will always be the hottest chick in the game.

She’s not retiring just taking a break. I feel you girl. I feel like you need a vacay. If, you are talented you can always come back in the game i.e. Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey.

Beyonce and those weaves are so past their expiration date..

Mariah is sooo firing one of her back up singers…that no-singing fool threw off mariah completely…Mariah stopped singing and looked back at her like “biatch, do y you know who i am; i’ll be damned if you ’bout to outsing me heffa”

bee: so what? retire then. her music isn’t good enough for her to stick around. i highly doubt this is the end anyway though. she’s gonna pull a jay-z (she’ll retire then come back multiple times). i do feel bad for bee stans though. who will they worship (while she’s taking a break)?

mariah needs to follow in bee’s “retirement” footsteps

it’s true that there is good hip hop but how would someone know that if they just turned on the tv or the radio b/c good hip hop doesn’t get played anymore. i hear soulja boy more than i hear common so even though i disagree with bill on hip hop, i understand that for those who know nothing about it, the persona DOES look bad and that fact that good hip hop is hardly played adds to this problem

Yes!!! Beyonce is retiring! I am soooooo…happy. Maybe now someone will have a chance to put out some quality music and not make it all about sex! Now I loved, loved the first CD she put out because it was about LOVE, but the ghetto hip hop mess she did on the last one…not feeling it. To me she is just making the world a more f*** up place! Now maybe after she settles down and has kids, she’ll understand how hurtful that booty music is to our children and put out another quality CD like her first one! Until then…the best thing she can do for us is retire…..GO..GO..GO.. Thank you is all I can say.

@ 27 With all the effed up music out in the world do you really think Beyonce’s PG-13 music is really doin that much damage. I heard a little girl on the radio today talking about ho she is proud to be called a bust-it-baby (whatever the fuck that is). Beyonce is the least of our worries in that department.

I hope she dont retire because She is the best performer we have. All these other R&B bitches are WACK, I wouldnt pay money for their concert DVD’s, let alone pay to see them LIVE. I dont give a damn who it is, whether its Keyshia, Ciara, Jennifer Hudson, Ashanti even Janet, Mary and Mariah let me down with their latest albums. Beyonce, X-Tina & Alicia are the future of this game. I hope she waits until she’s in her 30’s! And this aint no STAN shit this is just me being dead honest.

Goddess Beyonce please destroy all those who dare question your orginality. May you and God Jay-Z continue reign over the music industry with your melodious voice. Please do not leave me i can not function without you. I pray you send the Rihanna tramp to purgatory. You are our only salvation. Without you life wouldn’t matter………..through your beauty,power, and grace, and your ability to shake that big ass…… i pray …….Amen-

they aint gonna be no point of having comment sections on music blogs no more if bee retires cuz she the only one that gets comments. Haters aint gonna have no reason to go online no more cuz they aint gonna be no beyonce news. If beyonce retires then music blogs will no longer have purpose. But hey at least if she retires finnaly Amerie might come out the cave shes in and other artists might sell again. BEE THE WORLD WONT BE tHE SAME WITHOUT U. And the haters are gonna see that when your gonee!!!!….

Cassie sounds like a rat. Mariah lost her edge. Janet could never sing only dance. Beyonce is the only female out there right now the cud perform great. she cud dance and sing at the same time. and she cud sing alonee. Whoever thinks the her performace of DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE isnt amazing got some problemsss.. Seriously go to get your ears checked. If yall dont think her performaces arent memorable yall need help. whoever thinks that mariah performace above was better then any beyonce performace must be tapped. Mariah sounded like a chimp on meth.

Mariyah doesn’t sing a GREAT as she use to.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 /

Well havent yall heard that its smart to leave the game before the game leaves you? Shes a great entertainer and everything but really shes not deep enough to hang around indefinitely. Even though shes hot, her brand of music cant stick around forever, unless she does a 180 and hits us with somthing you can listen to years from now on her next album…which I doubt will happen. Also, remember the industry is forever changing, and the state of it is really up in the air….shes smart to stay busy now and shes achieved alot, but she knows her time is nearing an end. Shes been working non stop since her early teens..and she has a lot to show for it.

I just hope there is a Renaissance in music that will transform the industry in the next decade. I want music thats inspired…Im praying this will happen

actually i do agree #57. Alicia is a freat performer and she got great emotion. You cant put those other ones in the same cat. because they arent in the same level as bee, they dont atract the same audiences as alica and bee. Im talking about R&B/Pop Artists like bee, alicia, cassie, mariah. Jill and Erykah are on another level

and the video u posted. thats the best thing about bee. the ridicoulous things she does. It makes her stand out. And that video wasnt made to put bee down. just show the funny things she does. The person who made it is a beyonce fan.

as far as beyonce retiring sounds like another jay z move to me…
ill bet money that shell take a nice long break do some movies prob have some kids then come back in a good 5 or 6 years years,, she has been in the buissness for awhile and prob just needs a good break

Bill got a point, with all being said in this blog ya fools proving him right. Our children need to hear more positive music. It’s not all about booty shacking, which girl is the hottest or how big you chain is.. It’s a damn shame!!! Black love is beautiful, and if things continue it won’t be any left.
Just think of all the negative things that not only the Media puts out there but what we are accepting and relaying… our children slowly but surely take it all in….. and when they become adults and can’t truly and surly affirm that they LOVE who they are.. You have girls at the age of 13 having babies because the first guy that shows them any attention they run to. Boys who never had a black strong man to show him how to be , practices what he sees in the videos, going for the money to complete him and where does he end up? Yo ,Im not even going to finish this cuz ya probably not reading it cuz Bee name ain’t in it. DAMN SHAME!!!

[...] Beyonce retiring? - CONCRETE LOOP [...]

76.

Lady Architect

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 /

I doubt if she is retiring. I think this is a publicity stunt like her husband did so that everyone would buy his album cause they thought there would be no more of him. Next thing you know he was rapping on everyone’s track and said the game wanted him back so much, yet from the reviews I read about Kingdom Come it wasn’t as great as people expected. She’s doing the same so that everyone will buy her international pop album. I think the international pop phase won’t last very long cause it’s a stream of pop that’s been out for years. Eventually R&B is gonna make itself ahead of the game again especially with Brandy and Monica coming back. If Beyonce takes a break I honestly don’t think she can come back in an R&B stage. She’s a pop artist and R&B is much deeper meaning that requires less dancing. Beyonce can’t do that cause she more so an entertainer than an in depth vocalist.

Also I don’t see how people compare her to Ciara, Ashanti, Rihanna, etc. Though I may not be a fan of all of them, they have been in the game for a shorter time than Beyonce and they started as ground soloist. Beyonce started out in a group like Diana Ross. Both artists wouldn’t have gotten shine without their successful groups first. Then they ventured off into becoming solo artists after selling millions of albums in their groups. If Beyonce started as a solo artist from the start then I would compare her to the other ladies. It’s not fair that you down other solo artists and say they are not as good because they have been in the game much less than 10 years and started by themselves.

77.

WAKE UP!

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 /

People are so obsessed with Beyonce that they don’t even pay attention ro Bill Cosby’s work. I guess he should have had his own topic for his message to be heard. I’m looking forward to his album!

You people are idiots if you think this 26 year old chick is gonna retire. This is called PUBLICITY to create buzz around the new album. People are led to believe this is the last album so they rush in stores to buy it when it comes out. This is just a marketing ploy people, WAKE UP!

Lady Architect (#76) I doubt there will be a time where R&B is bigger than Pop. I dont think it has ever been a time it has. The only times when pure R&B was selling was during the Motown days and maybe the 90’s. And even during those times pop sold more. Real talk (and this isnt even on some stan type shit) I think Beyonce would be able to sing circles around both Monica and Brandy. With all due respect to them, its just fact. So I think she would be able to survive if either one of them made a comeback. Beyonce can give you good vocal performace if she tried.

What is your definition of a in depth vocalist? Cause I could name quite a few “R&B” artist who arent major on a vocal level.

And why do people act like being a pop artist is such a bad thing?

Is R&B superior to other music genres? Because Jill Scott is R&B and Beyonce necessarily isnt, does that make Jill superior? (love Jill by the way)

I think Madonna, Janet, Britney, and a handful of other artist would choose to disagree, cause they all have reached top status and made millions from the so called “no depth” having POP GENRE.

Why people expect Beyonce’s songs to be deep I dont know. When has she ever been deep in her 12 year career. Destiny’s Child was never really deep.

If every artist was deep, music would be boring. Its unrealistic to want ever artist to be “deep.”

I save the Erykah Badu’s and the Jill Scott’s for the times I wanna have something inspirational to listen to. And the Beyonce’s and Ciara’s for when I am dancing in the clubs.
PEOPLE WANT VARIETY!!!!!!!!

Honestly I dont know why people compare her to Ashanti and Rihanna either. Rihanna is what I call a “trend” artist. She is just whats hot for the season, she wont have longevity.
Ashanti is on her last leg. Notice how once Murder Inc. lost its popularity, people stopped caring anymore?
Neither one are in the same league…

As far as Ciara goes, she is the only one who I believe last long in the industry. She is more original and has more talent then the other two.

Its one thing to be to have an honest opinion and another just to be completely biast because you dont like Beyonce.

8baller,
I truly respect ya opinion. You are right about R&B being at its greatest moments during Motown years and in the early 90s which is why it is so memorable. I think it does have a chance of coming back mainstream again and though pop was always there it is at its highest moment right now and most musicians are making the transfer at this point because of it. I doubt Beyonce can sing circles around Monica maybe Brandy because she has a lighter toned voice. I didn’t say Beyonce wouldn’t survive if only they came back. I was talking about if R&B became the limelight once again like it did in the early 90’s and motown days then it she would have a hard time because she don’t sing songs with depth and I think many people would agree that if she didn’t dance around the stage then she would be kinda boring. I’m not undermining her as an entertainer cause I enjoyed her concert because it was very entertaining. IT’s the same reason I loved Janet’s velvet rope tour.

In depth vocalist: Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Chaka, Whitney in her good days (pop and R&B artist), Tamia (very underrated), Toni Braxton, Deborah Cox, Shanice, and the list can go on.

Nobody is expecting Beyonce to be deep with her songs and nobody ever expected DC to be deep with their songs either which is why they were pop artists. Their music was made to have fun with and that’s what people did and appreciate them for. So I don’t know what you mean by that because I like variety, but I won’t put a pop artist on the same scale as a good R&B artist and measure success plainly off of the amount of money which is what a lot of people are doing. Yes she’s the hottest chick in the game of Pop, but music as a whole I disagree.

I actually like Beyonce for what she does for me which is entertainment. She makes me dance, have fun, and all and I like it so my comment is not biased at all. Point is she can’t do it all and I realize that unlike many. She is a pop star and I think she has done wonderful for that. If Alicia Keys crossed over to pop music I don’t think I would be feeling her as much as I do for her being an R&B artist. She has too much of an R&B swag to crossover to dancing pop. I’m a fan of both but they all have goods and bads. All musicians have goods and bads.

Bill Cosby says…
“I wouldn’t know how to fix my mouth to say some of the words.”

Rap and Hip-Hop music is not a different language. It the same “words” that are used everyday, and if he is talking about the profanity, he’d better plan to check the motion picture industry as well.

If his point is that some of lyrics are offensive, he needs to say that…

Beyonce announcing retirement is a publicty stunt …..by NY DAILY NEWS…..

Lol, i dont actually mind her I just hate her stans who think she’s the best thing since the invention of the wheel- and she aint. Shes very talented but she isn’t perfect! Cant Bey stans just accept that?

Mimi needs to fire her backup singer, that cow did the same thing a few years back on some other show- acting like Effie in Dreamgirls and trying to over sing the main artist. You just don’t do that live, its unprofessional.

I actually like B Cosby, at least he has a positive message. Its true Hip-hop is a waste of time nowadys its sooo commercial its lost its roots and 99.9% of rappers dont stand for nothing anymore.

And I love mariah I think she did a good job on Oprah…But Wow I never knew she had so many hatas. I love her new cd …every track is good from number 1 to the last unlike some of these other artist out here. You go out and buy thier cd and there are maybe three good songs on the entire cd .Which is the reason why I now only purchase artist cd’s that I know can deliver like Mariah Carey. Keep doing your thing Mariah hataration is motivation.

However, I don’t see why Beyonce’ would not do this, but I KNOW she would have a hard time staying away because this woman can not sit down. She will probably pull a Jay move.

Also, if Beyonce’ has kids…as hard as this woman works she would not have time for them, so as long as kids are in the works I don’t think this is far fetched at all.

Tell It Like It Is

Wednesday, April 16, 2008 /

On Beyonce’s Supposed Retirement:

Her passion for music will not allow her to retire this soon, if we’re treating the definition of “retirement” as not creating another album or returning to the music industry period. She might “take a break”, if that’s even possible, and come back - but it probably won’t be for another ten years that she’ll seriously consider stepping back.

On Mariah’s Performance:

If anyone needs to retire, it’s her. She can’t perform live. That hand thing is getting old, and irritating, and the lyrics are too fast for her to sing live … AND she’s singing over voiceovers … (?) Obviously, she is talented and has an incredible voice, when perfecting it in the studio, but if you can no longer hold up your weight in front of an audience … throw in the towel.

On Bill Cosby:

I admire his courage and desire to help the black community. But sometimes he can come off as arrogant, and overlook all the good that has been occurring in society. I also don’t really know how or who this is going to help, because the people he’s targeting are probably not going to buy the album. Most likely, the people who agree with him, and who don’t need “change” are going to support it - as the others will be put-off by the some-what forced revolution.

Notice all the people who is hating on mariah are obsessed fans of beyonce. hmmm i wonder why? because they know that beyonce doesn’t have a chance against mariah so they feel the need to hate on her. yeah it’s true mariah doesn’t sound as good as she did in the 90’s, but guess what she still beat out beyonce. Now to be fair Beyonce does out perform Mariah any day of the week, even though all she do is shake her FAKE BIG ASS!!!( AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICE THAT SHE DIDN’T HAVE A BIG BOOTY WHEN SHE WAS WITH DESTINY CHILDS, WHOEVER THE SURGEN WAS IS A MASTER WITH THE KNIFE)i like beyonce too.

I can not believe how shallow people are! First the supposedly hush-hush wedding, and now this “retiring” mystery. People stop being DUPED! These are marketing schemes to keep Bey and Jay relevant because they are both aging. No one stays young forever. As you age, you will loose popularity. That’s life.

If you’ve noticed her pics look different lately, because she recently had her eyes lifted and had her nose worked on a bit. She’s afraid of aging in this business. That’s why I can appreciate artists like Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight because they have embraced who they are, no matter their age, and are cool with that.

Some people don’t know how to enjoy the spotlight, then move out of the way for the next set of artists. Bey and Jay have made music their life- and do not know what it means to get out of the SPOTLIGHT. They lack humility and are two media HOGS. The day will come when no one will care about what either one of them are doing privately nor publicly.

Maybe da bit_h is tired of oversinging and screaming in our ears, maybe she wants you tired asses to listen to the lyrics since she actually writes them.

Before you nasty cornor hoes write off another person of color think about urself, your not perfect, mariah is human. She’s been belting for 16 years, allow her to go thru a “non-perfect” moment.

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.

That girl is not about to retire. Just like he never really did. I can see them in 2028, singin “Crazy in Love” at Bar Mitzahs and Las Vegas retirement community functions.

Good for Bill. :-)

I don’t know about Beyounce retiring maybe she should take a break.

Mariah’s singing sounds terrible.

Bill Cosby needs to sit down.

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…

Beyonce looks HAM in that picture. I dunno if its the makeup or what, but
homegirl looks fucked up. As far as her retiring, I am so sorry because it is
true; what will u GROUPIES do without her? Mariah, I am sooo over her and
Bill, I absolutely love him.

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….
