Shes Baaack! lol

She looks really pretty! I luv B!

Gotta respect her hustle

Bee looks FIERCE!

My GIRL she back but the cover looks werid the make up maybe? I am ready for her new cd

beyonce looks HOT! That’s the perfect nude lip, the brows are kinda harsh tho. Can’t wait for her performance

She looks beautiful.

Did anybody hear that Solange’s album only moved 30k units?
Dayum!!!! The way these blogs was hyping her up I was expecting at least 250k. Dayum shame…and she’s Knowles. I guess so much for “star quality”

It is not so much the make up as the dead look in her eyes/lips. She is my girl though. I am excited for the performance.

Baddest Chick in the Game!!

I always look forward to a Beyonce performance…

Her body looks weird in the pic maybe they did something with photoshop… something is a lil off about it.

I was trying to say her expression is what is off.

Beyonce is a one trick pony. CLearly she is back to selling sex… cause there is no need for that cleavage showing her saggy boobs. SHe is a married woman. She should be ashamed to be doing that, whether your husband is a camel or not!

SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL..I LOVE U B!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one who thinks she looks busted.. Her face is off, and her body looks fake…

And she is back to having nothing to say in her interviews.
“It is so exciting..”
” I am really proud…”
It was amazing.”
“I was so humbled…”

Stay in school, folks!

BEYSUS IS BACK…

Desiree do you have a job? seriously

———To much photoshop. She looks like a robot. In the secong pic she doesn’t —————even have armpits, she has wings.

@ #17
Yes, I am a Marketing Director making more money than you can count.

All I got to say is….HI HATERZ!! lol you know they about to come out the woodwork when she starts promoting the new album

She do got that dead look in her eyes though….And the lighting on the cover is all wrong, makes the side of her face look weird lol.

Her scalp is not even showing with that weave.

The Queen is back. I see the haters are already on their jobs.

And the haters are back too!!! Bee getting ready to sting!!! LMAO

She looks cute but Halle Berry and Diana Ross reaped the BENEFITS from: Ma Rainey, Hattie McDaniel, Rosalind Cash, Lynne Moody, Judy Pace, Dorothy Dandridge, Big Mama Thornton, Billie Holliday, all those folks.

She looks great on the cover (love the classic white shirt), but know your history, love.

—- > Her interview was pretty good

@SIGH

I thought so too. I’m glad somebody read it before commenting on it.

I totally agree that these r not the best pics of her. Her skin looks flushed and her body does look fake and photoshopped. At #15, I couldn’t have said it better and now that u mention it, a lot of what this chick says lacks depth and complexity. Not saying she has to go all Webster dictionary, but it is irritating when her responses are so damn basic. Btw, Is it true that she is a high school dropout?? Not a good look…

She’s back? She never left…lol

And she looks a bit off in these pics. Very plain and dry

She has the same facial expression in both pics and she looks really thrown together. Not impressed with this photoshoot. I read the interview. Sounds like every other Beyonce interview that she gave before Dreamgirls.

You are going to be so shocked in my role.
I had to lose/gain 20 pounds.
I want to be a legend.

Yawn!

That interview was “wiggty, wiggty whack!” Makes me like Solange a bit more

BEYSUS IS BACK…

That is a good one! I am officially calling her “Beysus” from NOW ON!!! I love it!

BORING…I am a fan of Beyonce’s business acumen but she is boring…She does not excite or inspire…do something wild…step up your game PLEASE…!!! Its like I already know what her interviews are going to be without even reading it..we dont need scandal, we need something interesting….maybe a haircut…lol…just being silly…but i think you get the gist…

IT BEGINS….

It seems that she has acknowledged that she is not the “It” girl anymore, so now she wants to be a legend? Sure, I bet we will all be singing Get Me Bodied and Ring The Alarm 10 years from now. Step up your content if you wanna be considered a legend or icon.

HI HATERS!!

*WAVES*

SIMPLY GORGEOUS WITHOUT EVEN TRYING. LOVING THE TAN ON HERE. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ARTICLE,I’VE ALREADY SOME EXCERPTS FROM IT,AND SHE’S BEING INSIGHTFUL AND BLUNT.
WATCH THE HATERS TRY THEIR HARDEST BEST TO NIP-PICK THE COVER. POOR KIDS.

@MARLEE

SHE DID GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, SO STOP PERPETUATING BS LIES!

I totally agree that these r not the best pics of her. Her face looks off, her skin looks flushed, and her body looks completely photo shopped. Also, #15, I couldn’t have said it better. It seems as if everything this chick has to say lacks depth and complexity. Not at all saying that she has to go all Webster Dictionary on us, but it is irritating when such an ‘accomplished’ individual talks so damn basic!

I agree that the photos look really photoshopped. Will she be performing something new on Fashion Rocks?

wtf is up with her waist in the first pic?

#27, I’m not sure if she’s a high school dropout or not, but i think DC blew up before they left high school so it’s probably true.

Does she really need that high school diploma though? i mean, really? *shrug*

oh man, i need to go hide somewhere. beyonce’s coming back? my fame is over for REAL!

Terrorised? Who wrote that?

YAWN……….BEYONCE IS SO BORING AND FABRICATED. SHE SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME OFF AND GET AN EDUCATION AND STOP DEPENDING ON HER LOOKS THESE PICTURES ARE SO RETOUCHED SHE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE ROBOTS FROM LLOYDS VIDEO…..FASHION ROCKS WILL BE A COMPLETE SNORE BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS PICK THE SAME OVER EXPOSED ARTIST SINGING THE SAME BORING SONGS REPACKAGED FOR PRIME TIME TV. RIHANNA, CHRIS BROWN, MARIAHA NOW BEYONCE….SAME ROUTINE SAME BORING ACTS. GET JENNIFER HUDSON AND OTHER NEW ARTIST WHO HAVE MUCH MORE TO SAY AND MORE EXPERIENCE TO DRAW UPON THAT GIVES THEIR MUSIC SOUL AND CHARACTER. NEXT!

yeah not feelin the pic’s, she looks like a deer in the head-lights.

SHE LOOKS GREAT! AM I READY FOR A COMEBACK? IS SHE READY FOR ONE?

work b(*tch

beyonce is so fukkin played out, nothing special. or different about her and those pics. she the same boring no personallity beyonce. she don’t need to rush to come back, cause she is not needed at all

19, And your acting this childish? Don’t you have a deadline or something to meet? Love her or Hate her, you can’t STOP her.

DESIREE……….SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!!!!

Clearly you don’t have enough work to do but waste time blogging about BEYONCE (who’s making MILLIONS). How about you try working for her… you’ll prob learn and thing or two. Annoying bitch!

They photoshopped the heck out this photos, and she still look older than her age. The makeup looks weird or too much of it. She looks younger when she smiles and show them extra short chicklet teeth.

@ 24 (P) She was talking about the people that opened the door for HER. Stop trying to be difficult.

Why do women with breasts that are sagging are starting to sag wear plunging opened front tops? Even when i see this in the club i’m extremely puzzled.

L0V3 B3Y!! We all know that I’m a fan and I’m admitting that these are DEFINITELY not her best photos. I think it’s just the color because she’s looking a little pale, but other than that she still looks beautiful and better than you haters do on your best days. I always say that if you’re not up to or beyond that level then there should be no criticizing. Her face expressions look like she has cramps. . . .Hate those.

LOL!!! I couple of seasons of ANTM and everyone can critique the emotions behind her eyes…(ie dead eyes) LOL Hilarious!!
The girl looks gorgeous and of course people will find fault. But hey that’s life.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS……LOVES IT, OMG I miss B…Come BACK

Bee needs to take a break, what was she doing? The girl took a LONG break and y’all STILL couldn’t keep her name out of your mouths! LMFAO

HI HATERS!

This chick has got body for days!! She is beautiful!! The woman is talented, can’t hate her for it!!!

For all of you who think she’s played, if she’s no longer relevant, why is your comment necessary???

HAAATTTEERRRRSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can’t do what she does better then don’t have nothin to say about it….

BEYONCE IS A FORCE, SHE’S FEROSH AND UNSTOPABLE….. DON’T YOU IDIOTS KNOW!!!!

^ Because they can’t help BUT to comment on any and everything she does, that’s why.

and the media blitz begins all over again..

“FIRST LADY” YOU ARE ANYTHING BUT! I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE ACT LIKE OTHERS CAN’T STATE HOW THEY FEEL BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BUSY BEING A STAN FOR PEOPLE THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW. BEYONCE IS NOT BEYOND CRITICISM AND IF SHE DOES NOT WANT ANY SHE NEEDS NOT TO BE AN ENTERTAINER LOOKING FOR ATTENTION IN WHATEVER FORM IT COMES.
LADY SPEND LESS TIME ACTING LIKE A CHILD AND SPEND MORE TIME WORKING ON YOU. BEYONCE CAN HANDLE HERSELF SHE DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY HELP FROM YOU.

THIS SITE IS FULL OF BITCH ASS HATERS LOL , AND UGLY INSECURE FEMALES LMAO …ADMIRE HER WORK ETHIC ……SHE WILL BE AN ICON AND A LEGEND…….. AND IM NOT EVEN A FAN OF HERS HOW BOUT THAT

TWO PICS AND AN EXCERPT FROM A MAG AND PEOPLE TALKIN BOUT HER SISTER, SHE BORING, SHE AIN GRADUATE LOL SAY SHE AINT GOT MONEY OR CANT SING OR LOOK BETTER THAN YOU , OR IS FAT AND OUTTA SHAPE LIKE UR SLOPPY ASS LMAO…

SUCKS FOR YALL HATERS CUZ IM OFF TODAY AND IM IN CENTRAL PARK WITH MY LABBY AND I GOT WIFI EATIN A CHERRY ICEE

She still looks white to me, unless she was born with that blonde hair and anyone cares to disagree…I love her music but how quickly we forget this girl’s rise to fame…from drowning her bandmates to get to the top and portraying the white image…sad

She look ok damn people be bugging out i seen her look better then this. She look plan and yes u can tell they photoshop that hell out that picture. Im not knocking Beyonce at all but i am tired of her. It funny how when someone like ri-ri get her shine on some people get mad saying she overrated or they compare. There room for other artist out here. We need a change but it is what it is.

Oh “CHRIS”…… HHAAAATTTEEERRRRSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL…. you ppl humor me!

JSCENE. . . .

Honey, why bother commenting if everyone on Concreteloop knows that you’re Beyonce’s #1 hater and all your comments summarized say “I’m a Beyonce Hater” ? We all know you hate the shit out of her and I think we got the point out of your first 1,000,000 comments. Let it go, this bitch is better, has been better and will always be better than you and your hateful ass, save that talk where it belongs . . . . the Rihanna posts.

WOW HATERS are out in full force now…. Damn BEY .. this blog has just started and ya’ll are already JOCKIN BEYONCE.. Go ahead while ya’ll sit there and hate.. this chick is making MILLIONS & SHE’LL NEVER GO BROKE !!!!!!..not like that other fake ass FIVE-HEAD.. the cover looks FIERCE…. rain on them haters…

*******************************************************************************************************************************
What you beg of Beyonce’s style, I do the opposite for Rihanna! She’s stylish BUT ON STAGE…SHE’S BORING UNLIKE BEYONCE LOL!

the pics are nice. i don’t care if she was gone or came back or whatever. not even
that important. she’s just a performer doing her job. my question is why would her
boobs be sagging at her age. I’m 37, with no kids and mine don’t sag. that’s why
you should keep good coverage on (bras:-), regardless to the style. they make
them so you can’t even tell you have one on, if you get the good ones. I know I do.
And I’m sure she can. Or they may have photoshopped her to death and just
added that little touch - you never know in hollyweird !

I always knew beyonce liked those Loreal tracks the best. I certainly don’t but the outfit is on point. Very fashion forward yet still her own style.

Uhhh, what’s with the drooping boobies in the first pic…..the photoshop person needs to be fired……………

STAND BAAAAAAACK !

CAUSE THE QUEEN BEE IS ABOUT TO STING

everyones on about her being “back” from her break.. lets face it, she never really disappeared.. she was always being spoke about and being missed, noone compares to this woman, noone.

I cant wait for the first single “beat my drums”

WAHOOOOOOO !!

stand back, cause the queen bee is about to STING!

everyone is saying they are glad she is “back from her break” but lets face it, when was this woman ever gone? she’s continued to stay in everybodys heads, coming out of everybodys mouths.. and damnnn, ive missed her!

bring on her new single

beat my drums!!!!!!

Every artist has weaknesses and strengths

Let’s Review:

Beyonce’s Strengths - Songwriting, Singing, Dancing, Producing, and Enterprising
Weaknesses- Interviewing, Acting, and Fashion

Rihanna’s Strengths - It Factor, Sex Appeal, Modeling, Fashion, Radio Hits
Weakness - Performing Live, Selling records, Dancing, Singing

Mariah’s Strengths - Vocal Abiltiy, Singing, Songwriting, Producing, Selling Records
Weakness - Boring Stage Performances, Stiffness, Fashion

If any artist was perfect hen they would have nothing to improve on. Thats why we are all human.

Way too much bronzer! I was really hoping for a new look and maybe hairstyle but it’s really just the same Beyonce, different (B) day i don’t think Beyonce has made enough timeless songs to be called a legend, i know i won’t be listening to those albums in years to come.

The Queen Bee is Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone else back up! I LOVE IT!!!!!

.She needs to take a page from both Madonna and Janet Jackson on reinventing her look with each album that she releases. Hopefully this album is much better and offers songs of substance than B-Day did.

She needs to have a seat

ABOSLUTELY LOOOOOVE HER!!
Everything she touches turns to gold….no…platinum!…no…multi-platinum.
Can’t wait for the new album, & hopefully the rumors of her & Jay-Z forming the “Bonnie & Clyde Tour” are true!!

LOVE U ALWAYS

I see… droopy boobies and co-sign with DESIREE. I thought I was the only one who thought so.

Still **SMDH*** at the droopy boobs!

WHAT ???? Is that really the best ya’ll HATERS can come up with to say is her boobs are saggin ??? WHERE ??? Are ya’ll for real ?? PLEASE come with something better than… oh she’s so boring & uneducated SKIP THIS BLOG & KEEP IT MOVING don’t waste your time commenting… Bey is a pretty girl has a banging body why ya’ll hatin ????

Does her breath still stink? I hope not. She looks very sweaty.

too much photoshop. i hate when they try to make ppl look fake b/c it ends up looking bad to me.

and no she’s not very educated but a lot of celebs aren’t b/c they are too busy chasing money and fame, two things that americans are obsessed about. so don’t pick on beyonce only. there are others just like her. i do have to say that songs like “get me bodied” and “bootylicious” don’t exactly make someone a legend. i think she’s going to need to have more songs with substance in order to claim that. maybe she can do it, idk. she seems to be a very hard-worker and if she wants it, she could probably do it

—- > Her breasts look real. Real breasts don’t sit upright when without a bra.
—- > She looks cute, the outfits in both pics look hawt. Which is a shock, cause
—- > Bey’s fashion sense is horrible.

—> That second picture is SICK. My only complaint is the lighting. I like the “deer
—> in headlights” look in that pic. The cover picture is TRASH.

–> also…can we retire the word “hater”..it has officially demoted itself to preschool
–> level. if a 4 year can call someone a hater, it’s time for us mature folks to remove
–> it from our vocabularies everytime someone’s opinions differs from yours.

The QUEEN iZ BACK!

Coming with the same old - shaking her ass, showing her private parts. She has been the exact same since her first album and I hope this album does better than Bday which only produced one hit.

I’d take her droopy boobs over these jello balls these women are bolting on their chests. Give the woman some credit for not taking Kelly’s path just to fill a Dereon top.

Glad she’s back so that we can back off of BatGirl and her sneaker-pimp boyfriend (Rihanna and Chris for those of you that are a tad slow…)

*****You know what my boos sag and I have no children and I have never been **********preggers
*****I am only 27 but people will find any reason to tear Bee down it is sad.
*****They can’t say oh I am not a fan of hers and just move on the rip her to pieces.
*****They write essays about how they can’t stand her. SMH

*****I am not understanding why people want het to change her looks if she did
*****everyone would say she did it because of Rihanna and that she is a copycat.

……Whats up “Prince of Soho” I’m in CP too.
……These haters need to stop picking “B” apart, they must all be perfect?!
…….She is talented and beautiful. I am glad to see her do so well, keepit up B!

OOOh desiree , who’s corn flakes did you shit in this morning. anyhoo, she looks zombied out IMO. and yeah in the eyes of society she makes more, but believe I bet she swallows way more as well. To each is own, and her ass looks zombied out.

On a positive note - Solange is doing her thing.

I cant wait for her performance on fashion rocks…In my opinion she is the best performer/singer in THIS era……… She looks super hot and sexy!!!!! go bee you look fierce and she does have alot of respect in the industry and she is working her way in becoming a legend….

@ #81
Now if only her House of Doodoo clothing line could turn to gold… no platinum… no just gold. Heck, anywhere off the clearance racks.

@ #94
Yeah, Solange is doing her thing at a very professional, measly 30,000 units sold! ***SMDH*** That’s really professional, Solo!

Pretty good interview!! Good for you B, you are well on your way to being an icon…. you and hubby are doing your thing very proud of both of them and together they are awesome! Doesn’t matter what anyone says good or bad love or hate either way they keep climbing the ladder of blessings and success.

@76 for bee’s strengths, i would take out songwriting. no lyric she has ever written has ever made me so “oh that’s really hot”. ppl just like the beat and don’t think about how dumb the lyrics are. and don’t throw the whole award thing at me b/c ashanti won a songwriting award despite the fact that she still writes like she’s in junior high. the rest of the qualities you got right though

….oh now its time to sell so here she goes …… suckers

i like the pics she’s pretty…i just dont understand why beyonce brings out the worse in some people….i guess i never will but all i know is no matter what website i visit if there is a beyonce or rhianna post it’s on….

@ Desiree

U Jealous BitCh!!! Do u kno How Ridiculous and stupid u sound.so bkuz she’s married she has to cover up everything??? She IS wearing pants for cryin out loud, and she’s 27 fuckin years old, y can’t she show her cleavage, she’s a young RnB Popstar with a A PLUS body. Y wouldn’t she flaunt what she has??? She’s in a industry where visual is promotion, don’t b mad bkuz u can’t make money like she does off of you’re beauty.so once u get married do u just throw sum choir robe on??? I can tell that youre a woman that’s not comfortable with you’re body, what are we n Fuckin India or sumthin??? Fuckin Hater…, yo husband gon divorce u kuz he gon forget what yo body looks like…

We got some “Miss Cleo’s” on this board predicting ish . Don’t be mad that your favourite artist can’t dance or even shake their ass as you put it to save their lives. Always looking stif fand like Zombies on stage lmao!

She looks nice and big ups to her commment, I am also proud of America for wanting change not just change in color but change in how we want to see ourselves …article was okay …

Feed the mind feed the soul

i just dont get why the same people who come under the beyonce posts WORSHIPPING her and gettin mad about people saying negative things ARE THE SAME PEOPLE who leave such childish and immature remarks about rihanna?

anyway,since IM NOT AFRAID TO LIKE 2 ARTISTS,i will say im ready for a new beyonce album but these pictures are horrible.the bitch has a bad shape and the outfit in the second picture is too cute but her body looks fake..what did they do to her pictures???im really starting to believe they trying their best to make her look as “caucasian” as possible!

The first shot is not flattering. Something about her face in both shots, she just looks vacant.

Who/cares/if/people/are/stans/and/who/cares/if/people/are/haters/everybody/gets/talked/about/not/just/celebrities/so/comment/and/movbe/on/with/ur/lives

100 posts already! We’re on a role lol.

Oh/yeah/what’s/with/this/whole/beysus/thing/she/is/no/GOD

U HATERS & RIH-ALIEN stans (you know who you are) should be happy, overjoyed that BEYONCE is back…..EVERY single RI-HORROR blog all ya’ll kept doing is calling out BEYONCE’s name…..Comparing her fashion and her voice to that no talent ugly ass Rih-FORHEAD…A true BEYONCE FAN knows that she is an unstopable force and is a multi-talented performer this chic makes millions and does BIG THINGS of LEGENDARY status!!!…she doesn’t have to run around shopping & crying for attention from the paparazzi all the time..she takes a break & ya’ll still hatin!!!!…. DAMN !!! get a life
Now she is coming back to rain on ya’ll haters once again like she never left !!!!!!!l

Damn you people don’ t joke. I move away from my comp for an hour come back then there’s a Beyonce post with 100+ comments. That’s whassup ha

#12
STFU. U just had to find something to hate on didn’t u?? u sound stupid, bey was a star before she married Jay, and I’m sure he knows the demands of her job and does not mind this magazine cover, so shut up and quit the holier than thou shit. He know who got the Queen

Beyonce is back and looking fly as over!

Homegirl is looking fierce…she’s back!

I-if someone doesn’t like Beyonce why does that make them hater? Personallly I
-think that girl is ok but it’s not like she’s the the most talented entertainer in the
-world, she is boring she lacks substances, it’s almost like she is afraid to take
-chance and step outside the box. And seriosuly people think of another word
-besides hater, it has become redundant now.
-Pick up a dictionary or theraurus and find another word for someone who is
-opinionated. Some of people that come on here feel like it is a crime for people not
-not to like Beyonce.

Beautiful black woman! She looks amazing! Can ‘t wait for this era to begin! Sorry haters!

If you have to lower yourself to call someone the B word on a blog site because of that person opinions whether they hating or not, you need HELP! Ya’ll act like yall know the girl personally. Are your serious? better yet, Is Is That Serious?

Gorgeous and talented!

YALLl SOME OLE Psycho’s!!!

Mrs. Carter looks gorgeous! Marriage really agrees with her! Her body is on point! Can’t wait for the new performances and music!

——this is from the article - She’s been quoted in the past as saying there’s a time limit on being a pop star. ‘Being a pop star, yes,’ she responds. ‘Being a legend, an icon, absolutely not. And, at this point, that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.’”
—–any comments on this quote because its sound like she wants to do just movies
—-but she has an untitled album coming out in Nov which is two months away

B~WARE is coming soon B*TCHES!!!!!
Regardless, if you hate Beyonce or not, she got millions in her bank, and not to compare her Rhianna, but Rhi~Rhi bank account was @ 20K last week, so you be the judge who is the better singer and who is making money. Everyone is always talking about Rhianna is so fly, but she is living beyond her means. She is spending money before she can really earn it.
Now, I gotta ask a question, WHO MAD???

…Her breast are sagging… that interview was sooooo lackluster; it was dull and boring just like allllll her interviews. If you have seen one Beyonce’ interview …you have seen them all because she just keeps repeating herself.

People critize this woman more than I have ever since. She is like a black Britney Spears when it comes to how the black community has to hold on to everything she says and does all the time. Beyonce is a true talent and a force in this industry. How many times are we going to do this and hate on this lady for her success? Its sad. Shes beautiful, talented, and has loads of money…thats why all of you rag on her sooo much and want to see her fail and fall. Mainly black folk! We can never just support someone who is talented and leave it at that. Noooo! We have to comment on her breats, eyes, skin color, weaves/hair, nose and say shes this and that, etc. Get over it and stop it. Beyonce is one person who even when she is on break and not seen, people still have to mention her. That alone stamps her legendary status already. She stays in people’s minds so much that she’ll be gone for year and folks are like beyonce, beyonce, BEYONCE!!! LOL!

Her facial expression is off but her body is on point as usual. Whether someone is married or not its her body if she wants tp show it why not??? Women go to the club in less than what she has on and they have kids and husbands! Marriage doesnt mean lock down.People can hate on her but she’s on the top of her game no one can do it like her and Im not the biggest B fan.

why are her eye brows so thick? please…………………………………….. and her boob does look like it’s saggin in the first pic, she don’t even got kids yet.

This is just like the same interview she gave when promoting B-Day and Dreamgirls. If she wants to be a legend or icon, she has to step up her game lyrically and focus on making music with substance. Music that will stand the test of time and in twenty years will be considered timeless classics. Songs like Freakum Dress and Ring The Alarm are bubble bum pop lyrics that are forgettable

She sounds a little full of herself.

@ 109

Jesus isnt a god either sooo what does that have to do with anything.

WHAT’S UP WITH THE BLANK STARES?

So I see she wants to be dark on the cover since she got so much flack for being too light in the L’oreal picture. I guessed they bronzed her up extra heavy, lol.

VERY PHOTOSHOPED TOO.

Beautiful. Here she comes…

she looks amazing!

she is so predictable it’s not even funny… i wish that she will switch up her look put some pepper in the same old same old so we could all be taken back but she is sticking to her image knowing that people are stupid enough to buy whatever she does even if the new album is a remixes of b’day’s songs…. i wish her very good— never mind she does not need any luck if i trust her words she is an icon

She better hope those words don’t come back to bite her in the butt. Being a pop star and being accepted by their audience, is what has made her the superstar she is today.

Don’t forget it’s my girl’s b’day tomorrow…damn can’t believe she’s gonna be 27. Happy (early) B’day Beyonce!!

I can’t wait to see her performance on FASHION ROCKS I hear it’s gonna be grand (because that’s how she does it)…with a special guest(s).

I Like Beyonce as an artist, to me she never really left the spotlight. I guess she did fall back for a min. I wonder what she’ll shock us with this time lol. Love her top in the second pic.

Once again I’m LMAO at these comments!! Y’all are trips. “Her boobs are sagging”..Wtf? See, if you have a comment saying that her boobs are sagging, then you definitely know that Bey is running the game because that is the best thing you can come up with. You Beyonce dislikers (Haters sounds too childish) need to give it a rest. You are constantly trying to attack the girl about everything that it’s just getting hillarious now, and I love it keep going. But what you don’t seem realize is, THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT A PERSON THE BETTER & KNOWN THEY BECOME!! Beyonce could be boarding a plane and have 500 comments while Rihanna is on a post below kissing a female with 27 comments. Beyonce owns these chicks in the music industry AND on the websites so what do you dislikers have to say about that? As much as you “hate” Beyonce, she is doing her thing. If it wasn’t for the dislikers Beyonce definitely wouldn’t be where she is right now. The more people that talk about her are the better, whether it’s out of love or hate. Beyonce has been gone for like 2 years but it seems like she has never left because people are ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT BEY!! When she looses “haters” is the time to be concerned. Rihanna fans are getting scared and anxious right now, I know they’re behind they’re computer screens breaking out King Kong sweats shaking like a vibrator. Aww, poor thangs….thinking Rihanna would last forever. Kiss those Rihanna overload posts goodbye.

She has not come out with a new album in a while… but her Name and Face saturated the market HEAVILY. LOL Funny how people get soooo angry with the crazy comments.

OH WELL the baddest chick in the game is back with a new era so you can already see haters on her ass! Photoshopped or not, I mean please, this girl is fuckin’ gorgeous, from head to toes I dont know why everybody think because they have the right to comment so they should, ppl will find all the flaws they want, boobs, clothes, skin, eyes, mood, what’s next? nothing is enough good for them, who told you she made that cover for your hating & ignorant persons?
Well, the day you haters will be hated, please know this day would mean YOU ARE THE BEST.

Beyoncé I love this cover, grown and sexy, sophisticated, she is just not a hot girl, she is a legend in the making, watch her, how hard is that to undestand, SMH@ the haters, that’s pitiful, they can give you a good laugh and headache at the same time.

LMAO@ these comments. One person started their comment with ” U jealous bitch”

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!I guess she told you:-)

lol @ 76 I.ALWAYS.KNEW. Your Review is Sooooooooo True !!

I don’t know, she sounds a little full of herself to me. Everybody keeps saying she is back. But, when did she ever leave.

She has an amazing coke bottle shape and the photographer obviously wanted to accentuate that but her face looks so utterly average. Very underwhelming for a “comeback” spread since September is the month she kicks up again with performances and the like. And what do they mean by “ready to shock?” What’s going to shock us? The Desperate Housewives thing? I really hope she isn’t going to become some unbelievable “bad girl” like Rihanna or something…that would be lame.

Beyonce made two cds
first was more r&b [songs with meaning]
the second [less meaning]
WHY DOES EVERYONE ACT LIKE ALL OF HER SONGs ARE MEANING LESS.
One cd had more meaning full songs and the other did not.

She looks gorgeous and I wish we as black women would stop finding fault and learn to compliment one another. Yes you are on here hating and hate it or love it, she is the baddest chick in the game right now. Also, I guarantee you will still buy her album. So you think she gives a bad interview, when was the last time someone interviewed any of you? My point exactly, stop hating.

beyonce is okay in what she do but she is about to go down hill for 1 reason only well its more then one but this will be the main reason because of stans i read some of yall comments. i laugh at some an dont read others but this comment i have to say something about that beysus thats not cool she is not jesus an jesus is lord so dont mix because u cant compare because the bible says have no other god before me she going end up like the rest of these hollywood people which is mostly not a happy ending

@145..

The bitch BEEN gone, but thanks for proving my point. She is just so fly that people are constantly talking about her that’s why it seems like she never left. Before this, what was the last thing she did? Exactly. It’s just that in every Rihanna, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Solange, Michelle W., Kelly R., Ashanti, Alicia Keys, Every damn female in the game’s post Beyonce is ALWAYS being talked about. Just watch, when Rihanna leaves for 2 weeks she’s going to comeback and everyone is going to be like Rih-Who?

@I.ALWAYS.KNEW.

You did good but dont you think sex appeal is one of Beyonces strengths too? Come on now:-)

SMH. She hit her peak at 25 to me. Now she’s comin back and she looks old and tired as hell.

THIS ONE IS NOT HOT.

…DAMN…ARE HER BREASTS SAGGIN’ ON THE MAG COVER?????

I love how riri comes into Bs topics and B comes into riris topics ,children its time to grow up. Yes B does boring interviews (she just does get over it)but her performances are mean as hell. I would like to hear her new single asap. I also feel like she and a.keys have a little longer to go before being an icons but they are almost there.

she looks gorgeous.

Clear,
That aint right. Why can’t one celebrity accomplish what Bey’s accomplishing and still last perfectly fine. I feel that it’s very rude for people to compare Bey’s life To Brittney’s life or Whitney or whoever. Why can’t Bey just be hot and stay hot and retire when the time is right. She doesn’t have to shave her head and shove drugs down her throat just because she’s this successful. Bey is very grounded and she would never do something like that, especially with Tina being her mother. We all know she used to whoop they asses when they were little limabeans (And she’s a Creole).

Bey has been doing this for over ten years, and has shown absolutely no signs of corrupting as an artist and I feel like as long as she has the right people around her she is going to be perfectly fine. She has a well stabled family and as far as I know Jay seems to be treating her right, or he’s beating that thang right, either way she’s been with him for over 6 years so he has to be doing something correctly. I can;t stand people who try predict Bey’s life off of other artists, it ain’t right, not one bit.

Oh I just read the interview and they’re talking about her performance as Etta in that movie…she says it’s sure to shock us as if she isn’t just going to be some crazy overacting flightly druggie a la Diana Ross in the Billie Holiday story.

How can you leave out sex appeal on Beyonce strenghts !!!! that girl has a banging body and she is beautiful…very talented. I have nothing but good things to say about Bey …. I saw this girl perform live in LA.. She tore the house down .. She is a awesome performer…. Haters are getting scared now cause Queen Bey is back !!!!
Rih-Alien better run & hide her no talent ugly ass somewhere

150 : Do you thing i don’t know that you beyonce people try your hardest to argue with everyone in order to boost the comments and than come back and remind everyone how much comments the topic has made as if it means anything?
YOu are extremely ignorant when the two girls in college hill fought and they had over 600 comments did that mean that because they were talked about they were super famous? when rihanna’s disturbia video reached the 800 marks did that mean that she was the best thing since slice bread? If there is something to talk about people will talk , no matter what it is so get over yourself i hope beyonce sells a million with her new album

I love how the same people talking about how old, tired, and boring Bey is are also the ones posting 2, 3, 4 times. If she’s sooo tiring, why does her thread keep getting the most comments. Whether people love her or hate her, they obviously are interested in her and checking for her. Can’t wait for Bey to shut down the game…again.

I have Dil And Bday BUt I won’t be buying the new album, I think beyonce has grown old looking and she is out of date

“I love how the same people talking about how old, tired, and boring Bey is are also the ones posting 2, 3, 4 times. If she’s sooo tiring, why does her thread keep getting the most comments.”

same thing with rihanna that does not mean anything this is a forum and people are going to argue no matter what so lets not assume that one thing does not apply to others but beyonce …

WHY DO BLACK WOMEN HATE ON EACH OTHER? WHAT IS IT ABOUT BEYONCE THAT INFURIATES SOME WOMEN. BEYONCE IS ON HER GRIND AND IF SHE WANTS TO COME WITH A ALBUM EVERY YEAR THATS HER WISHES! PEOPLE NEED TO STOP KNOCKING BEYONCE HUSTLE FOR REAL! SHE IS AN ENTERTAINER AND I LOVE HER DRIVE………EVEN THOUGH BEYONCE IS NOT MY FAVORITE I RESPECT THE FACT THAT SHE ALWAYS TRIES TO DELIVER AND DO HER BEST….IM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT SHE BRINGS THIS TIME…WHEN IS HER ALBUM DROPPING AGAIN? I HEAR ITS NOVEMBER 11 OR THE 18TH.

@ 159.
Ummmmm……….

If I remember correctly (well my memory is very sharp) Rihanna’s Disturbia video did NOT reach no 800 marks..it was around 550 IF I am correct. But I know I’m correct at the fact that it was no 800. Beyonce has reached BEYOND that. Whatever else you said was all blah blahs for me..next–>>

Why do we have to be haters? Where is it written that we have to support someone because we share the same skin color?
Its my music and MY ears who is she or you to determine what i should listen to, who should i love and why?
I don’t want to support her but if i however wish to comment on her its on me ,Not you!
i was a fan until the “i wish i was born latina” self hatred comment and now I’m not in her camp anymore last time i checked, my criminal record is still clean so it is not against the law not to like beyonce
I’m sick and tired of people trying to dictate everyone code of behavior a lot of you bey’s people hate rihanna just because she is portrayed as bey’s competition how do you feel when the fans call you hater because you are stating your opinion ? Come the fuck on and grow the hell up No one hates on beyonce , rihanna or alicia keys people just don’t share your opinion
So stop with it

BEYONCE NEED TO REMIX JAY Z JOCKIN JAY Z THAT WOULD BE FIRE. nice pics.

Tianna, Beyonce is wearing the beattle ring Rihanna wore in her Essence or Ebony spread last month!! Of course you can’t really do a “Who Rocked it Better” with that, huh? Oh well. And you people pllleaassee stop arguing about her…the media throws you a bone and you bite. Beyonce was famous for a whole TWO YEARS before anybody started calling her a beauty queen…she just came along and sort of took it and ran with it and she IS a beauty but Cassie is just as beautiful…and Zoe Kravitz…and Thandie Newton so it’s really just about the media, honestly. I mean, how extraordinary can someone be who not only admits that a woman looks identical to her (Shakira) but did an entire video playing on that fact. She doesn’t believe she’s the “baddest” and she’s showing you that… I’d love to see Vanity and Halle Berry do one of those videos! That would be cool but they are rather old now…hmmm

oh, nevermind - Halle doesn’t sing. It still would be cool, though lol

I like Beyonce but she’s no role model for black women. Why would I look up to a black woman with a blonde lace front wig?
I used to like her but she’s just annoying me now esp with the L’oreal thing - all she is doing is reinforcing the media’s pressure and influence on black women to conform to a western ideal of beauty to be accepted.

KNOCK EM DEAD BEY, THAT’S WHY THEY ALL MAD AT YOU……HATERZ CALL IT HOW I READ IT STRAIGHT HATERZ ON THIS BLOG !!!!
THIS CHICK BEEN ON BREAK FOR A YEAR NOW AND YA’LL STILL CAN’T KEEP HER NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH ..SHE’S THE BADDEST CHICK ….GAME OVER

Beyonce’ is a great talent and people need to stop hating on her because she has what it takes to be in this industry as far as longevity is concerned. You go Beyonce’ Carter. LOL!!

gotta love beyoncee ; she already has 100 plus comments , and this was justed posted today . ha :))

She seem full of her self saying she don’t want to be a hot girl then don’t take off your cloths i mean why would you say you want to be an legend just let it happen hat’s not cute.

I feel she was trying to play some of the female artist saying that, your not an rapper to make qoutes like that beyonce become an artist then i’ll say ok but until then stop it.

Whitney houston Janet Jackson are some of the few who opens doors not being lwhat the media want black barbie, I mean she could have really made a difference in the era as britney and christina jessica blond hair but instead she just kept it that why she never look different

I’m proud of beyonce but at the same time she haven’t done anything that make people want to know about her more you know she very boring. Good but boring she been with Jay i wanna be down z since she was like 19-20. I feel bad because she haven’t really live jay-z been aroung the block.

the difference between diana ross and beyonce is diana live and beyonce seem to have this little predictable life.

A qoute about whitney “She seem to have become the elizbeth Taylor, dorothy dandridge of our time because we want to see what she’ll do next. Whitney off her faults was an glamor girl. Diana ross the same

Tell me this Stans when they do a movie about beyonce what would it be about? Other then the drama of DC. My point

My Careere is over..better get a new hair due or stylist

So what about her Loreal ad ??? Beyonce is light skin naturally she’s not trying to make herself look white…. Half these women in the entertainment industry wears weave INCLUDING white women so what ??? when you are as talented and beautiful as Beyonce people must find negative things to say !!!!!.. BEyonce stay killing them HATERZ !!!… GO MRS. Carter

I have no idea what people are talking about. She looks GORGEOUS here and real and im not even that big of a fan. I dont even own any of her albums. I wonder why people say she has white features cause cleary she has black features! I just think its cause she’s light skin with the light hair cause if she had the exact same features but was even a shade browner, no one would say she had white features. Her nose and lips CLEARLY show “blackness”. I think she is one of the most stunning women in the world. I REALLY think its time for us to unite and support eachother especially with Obama coming into office soon. Let’s stop tearing eachother down and support the positive people in our race. She never comes off stuck up or anything, really just shy and humble. Not really sure why she is so disliked. I mean I know she’s gorgeous and I know women especially the really young ones are SUPER insecure but its not like she’s gonna quit whatever she’s doing and try and take your man so who cares if she’s beautiful?

I don’t know what people r talking about how they say the interview was boring
I thought it more entertaining than any of her previous interviews
anywho I like the second pic

@#7 SOLANGE SOLD 46,000 UNITS AND IS #9 ON THE BILLBOARD 200 AND #1 ON THE BILLBOARD R&B CHARTS…CHECK IT OUT…WWW.BILLBOARD.COM
HITSDAILYDOUBLE WAS SAY OFF….THEY EVEN SAID THE GAME HAD THE #1 ALBUM WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY THE ROCK GROUP SLIPKNOT

I will not buy the album
beyonce is not a fresh of breath air for me anymore
i don’t think she will outsell alicia keys
i don’t think she will ever be a legend
I think her time is up
and i think she needs to get an education because her comments always come out wrong
she is not a hot girl to me neither an icon

bye

Where did I say you had to love everything Bey does? Nowhere. I’m just saying, are the long paragraphs on what a bad person Bey is really necessary? If you don’t like the pics, just say so and move on. But people are starting to insult her character and what not. It’s to a point that every little thing Bey does, everyone jumps on her back whereas if another female artist did the same thing, she’d get away with it. But I understand, she is one of the biggest superstars out there (definitely the biggest female R&B/pop superstar), so being analyzed and talked about is normal. However, do we need to have all-out wars over the poor woman. Whatever, we all have different opinions on the matter. Continue battling each other.

Shawn rihanna post gather 600 post in 2 days but she is still a talentless broad so shut up with it

SHE’S BACK….HATERS GO 2 HELL…SHE’S IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME…CANT WAIT TILL FASHION ROCKS!!!!

EVERYBODY that is somebody GET to be called every name in the book especially on the internet why would the rule change for beyonce ? I love beyonce and i’m a real fan i don’t go around calling anyone names over her i let her accomplishments speak for her and i let people make a fool out of themselves all of you fighting here over beyonce need to get a life cuz she is who she is and will stay until its her time to go so you me or anyone is not qualified to predict her longevity or when she will stop
get a life people

I’m over beyonce ITs my choice
i think beyonce’s fan need to stop posting under different names and create controversy its not cute, and it does not change anyone’s opinion about her

Yo now that i’ve seen what bey look like without the entire glam squad? I aint exited about her anymore… so its a nono for me she is uneducated and not hot at all Sorry bey you was my wifey once upon the time but the thrill is gone

@ Mandy

Well Beyonce’s sex appeal should be implied rather than a highlighted strength. Rihanna doesn’t have many strengths so I had to throw her a bone. I Stan for Rihanna but I know bettter than to give her more credit than what she deserves. She’s a hitmaker but I would not pay my hard earned cashed to see her half-ass Umbrella and her other hit records.

I will never take away from Beyonce for her skills. I just think she’s not interesting at all. She never says anything insightful or memorable.

But I have figured out the reason why…and her name is Sasha.

Since Beyonce has indeed created this alter ego, she puts all of her personality into Sasha and neglects herself. Now if we could interview Sasha that would be an interview to remember. She needs to ditch the Beyonce persona all together and become Sasha full time. I think I would personally like that chick way more than Down Home Southern Belle Beyonce.

@164,has it really gotten that deep that you’re arguing about who got the most comments….wooow

I really think bey is talented but she is so boring… Bey has no personality who is beyonce ??? She wants u to buy her music but hides who she really is. The Girl can Sang we all know that. But i think she has alot of growing to do. When she stop hiding from the camera, and really answer questions in interviews. I can appreciate Bey more.

oh so fly…loves it

@15..i agree. her answer “We all feel part of our country now’ makes no sense. I don’t know where this broad has been, but as an African-American woman i have always felt that I was a part of the country. Even under the Bush Administration–the fact that Obama is running has nothing to do with my social security number/citizenship. ” A bit of progress”.huuuuuuuuuh? We have made tremendous progress with Obama’s pioneering moves..what the heck is she talking about??

young ladies..please stay in school and pursue some type of post-secondary education, even if you want a career in entertainment.

She sounds REALLY full of herself in these interviews. What happened to my humble girl? Oh yes, Jay-z. WHo sits and says, “I am highly respected…” Beych, shut your uneducated ass up.

Yes, her titties are sagging and oh hell no, I won’t be buying your album. When you want to sell your crap, you will give interviews but when we just want to know what is up to you, you don’t know us anymore. Beych, please.

I LOVE THIS CHIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! @! “She’s about to sting” She needs to sting the make-up artist and editor of this photo shoot. She looks washed out. You can’t do dramatic eyes with a nude lip and have some bland lighting like that. She looks haggardly. (New word for the kiddies)

I see the stans are on the prowl as usual. For all you fake ass hype artists, try to use spell check before submitting that garbage. Stop being so pressed.

* what is up with you

@#192 - What does “we all feel part of our country” mean?

@ #192
I am agreeing with you, by the way!

I love B…she’s my fav
BUT, This cover has GOT 2go….whomever did this needs 2b ashamed of their work bcuz it truly sucks. Looks SUPER airbrushed/ fake…and B just looks OFF. Her mouth/teeth or sumthin….and 2 tell u the truth she kinda resembles Erykah Badu…not tryna throw off on Erykah or nothin–but u know her look is just “different”

She seem full of her self saying she don’t want to be a hot girl then don’t take off your cloths i mean why would you say you want to be an legend just let it happen hat’s not cute.

I feel she was trying to play some of the female artist saying that, your not an rapper to make qoutes like that beyonce become an artist then i’ll say ok but until then stop it.

I see the interviewers were warned from asking questions about her marriage, the L’Oreal scandal and anything else. This would have been a good opportunity fo rher to clear the air but her IQ is too low to address anything controversial. And her Republican a** suddenly now feels part of her country? Jump on the Obama bandwagon, why don’t you? I bet she waited for Jay-z to give her an opinion politically and she took it.

She wants to be a legend and she is doing that the right way by continuing to sell sex. That doesnt make her a hot girl, that makes her a legend. I think the hot girl comment was a jab at Rihanna. Now Beyonce sees her a** is no longer the “It’ girl, she wants to sh*t on those who are. Like it was a conscious decision to not be the “It’ girl anymore. We “decided” that you weren’t the hot girl anymore, not YOU, BEYONCE!

This is Crazy!
I would like to add that white people talk about Beyonce bad if not worse! I have read comments on TMZ, X17, Perez, etc where they are vicious talking about her wigs, she wants to be white, and she’s fat…..everyone talks about Beyonce.
Icon is a big word to use, this is something you have to work hard for lyrically, visually, politically, and socially. I have her songs on my Ipod but its something to put on when I want to dance or clean up, but when I want to be inspired or feel good I’ll throw on Stephanie Mills (Home), Michael Jackson (Man in the Mirror), Janet Jackson (Rhythm Nation) Aretha F. (Aint no Way), Chaka Khan (Through the Fire)…..To me they are Icons and Legends.

i wonder what she’ll be performing….i’m so freaking excited

UGH AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH U PLANTATION BITCHES!

Enough already. If u dont like Beyonce, why the fuck do you keep talking about her?? It’s yall dumb tricks that r the reason why so many folks think average black women are bitter and jealous of Beyonce. It’s obvious that u HATERS are, otherwise you wouldn’t have this chip on your shoulder.

Fucking slave mentality crap, knock it off. Willie Lynch’s work continues till this very day. Sad. I thought Barack would UNITE us once and for all, but look at this, we’re still squabbling over petty shit.

Get a damn education and a life. Maybe if u were more secure and liberal minded, perhaps yall wouldn’t be spewing this garbage.

Her chest isn’t sagging, look at them in proportion to her waist and hips.

@JOJO
I forgot she is Republican, but now I remember she was suppose to perform at Bush’s RNC for I think his second term. It figures her family is from Texas, Daddy Knowles was the President @ Xerox, they had maids, and a really big home. B and J profited off of Bush’s tax cuts to the rich.

beyonce changes her skin color as much as she changes her wigs,,
one day shes white next day tan make up your mind,
once the touring starts the long curly weave will be back to appeal to her international audience.

If this post, as well as 99% of all Beyonce and Rihanna posts on here arent indicative of black women’s hatred and complexes towards anyone more successful than they are, the I don’t know what is.

Why dont yall read a book or something??? How about posting more on J. Dakar’s Black History Spotlights or the politics threads?? We’re in the middle of a recession, the elections are coming up, Hurricaine Gustav hit Louisiana—these are just some of the current issues we could be discussing rather than what a celebrity says.

@201, SO WHAT if white blogs talk negative about her?? Why should that gives black people a justification to talk down about one of OUR OWN KIND?????!!!!!!!!

I really CANNOT STAND how black bloggers try to defend their anger by saying “Oh other races do the same”. I got a couple of things to say:

1. So what? Why should we do the same? Let them be petty, we need to rise above that all.

2. Even so, whites, Hispanics, etc arent NEARLY as bad as African Americans in hatred against celebrities. We’re so fucking ass backwards that we live vicariously in the lives of celebrities, instead of getting an education or a job or learning more about this amazing world.

@203

Why take it that far? It seems that you are apart of the group stuck with the Willie Lynch mentality. Plantation bitches? Dumb tricks? You should finish school yourself before advising others to get an education.

@ Greatest Love of All
You dont have to fly off the handle, breathe…..I made the statement because I was sick of other comments blaming black women for talking about her, so my point was to say everyone talks about her on white and black blogs. Dang! You should really Calm Down its not life threatening.

People dont fight this hard for Michelle Obama, and she’s worth fighting for!

@ 211

So true. LOL!

Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce!

Nice & Classy! A Classic Vintage Beauty!
I »-(¯`v´¯)-» Her!
`v´

Jeeze!

The fact is black people should stick together and not down each other, but with that people should be patient with others and try to educate instead of humiliate. I dont like reading comments that state only black women hate on Beyonce, I think people in general hate on Beyonce for whatever their reason is.

I HEAR YOU MRS CARTER

215 comment, good lord!!

I see that she is still trying damn hard to snag that ACADEMY AWARD!! She is actually going to be playing ETTA JAMES?? She better not mess up that role. That woman is a LEGEND. Sure she put on the extra 20 pounds for the role, but lets wait & see how well she handles this role, seeing as how ETTA JAMES was a Heroin addict. I am eager to see both these upcoming roles, she is talking about in that interview.

As for these photos, I LOVE the outfit in both pictures, the tops are hot!

Beautiful tha baddest chick in the game

Bey looks gorgeous and she’s talented, but I’m anxious to see new talent like Jasmine Sullivan, Brandy come-back, etc. Too much of anything, is NOT good. When you dont give people time to miss you, you can start to annoy them and eventually people move on.

Love Beyonce, she’s unstoppable. Love her comment about “we all feel part of our country now” because that is what Michelle Obama really meant about being proud for the first time of this country. This country is finally including black people to the level that a black man has been nominated to perhaps become President of the United States. Really believe that we would have had a black presidential nominee like Barack, long time ago if it wasn’t for the disapportionate number of abortions that we have. The abortion rate and premature infant deaths for blacks( not even including murder rate and incarceration) is partly to blame for our losing ground to hispanics in becoming the majority minority. We kill off as many as being made. Aren’t we glad Barack’s mother chose to have him instead of aborting him. Have your children sistas!!!

She looks stiff and maybe a tad bit constipated? What’s with her lips, looks like Jay punched her or something…??

“we all feel part of our country now” is a dumb statement and does not make any kind of sens all of the sudden her ass feel part of the country i felt part of the country since ever because i know the fight dr luther king and all of our heroes put up

And please leave the political commentary to the college educated, beyonce lol
You are not a role model unless you want our young girls to do the booty shake while being home schooled..yes?

Beyonce is a bimbo peeps. Just face it. She has nothing but dreams of lacefronts in that empty ass head of hers SMDH. Now she feels a part of this country? Is she channeling Michelle Obama or sumthin? lmao

actually the industry does need beyonce cause trufully without her there’s no one to stand out… ashanti is boring can’t perform live rhianna hot but she can’t perform theres reall no 1 that does it like she does… that’s why shes so successful…. why must ppl hate on a women who reall does work hard and did work hard to get where she is … and so what she started n a group a lot of stars have started n a group… its jus that not everyone is gonna make it michael jackson and icon (group) its jus that.. she has what it takes.. cause obviously she wouldn’t sale as much if she didn’t with all the dwn loads lime wire and shit

GET EM BEYONCE!!!! I LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH… KEEP DOING WHAT.UR.DOING ….

Wow…is all I have to say about some of these comments…however, I do agree the word “hater” is very juvenile…but it’s really hard to use another word to describe the way some of you feel about this woman. Please know the difference between giving an opinion and just pure hate. The true Beyonce fans aren’t mad at those who state opinions…its when the name calling and over-analyzing of every facet of Beyonce that gets the fans riled up. None the less it’s a blog where anyone can say anything and at the end of the day nothing is accomplished…it’s just an outlet to say whatever you like only to fall on deaf ears or the 200 or so people that have commented and your opinion is your opinion and you can’t change anyone elses’…so why argue.

As for the pictures…I like the look of the first pic…although her face is a little off and the second pic is really cute…outfit and all.

UMMMMM I DON’T LIKE THESE PICTURES SHE IS PRETTY AND THE PHOTO’S LOOK FUNNY

after bees sting they die?

nothin is off in the photo!!
I LOVE BEYONCE!
# 1 chick in the game.

LEAVE BEYONCE ALONE UGH….

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO NUMBER 41 OMG! I can’t believe u did that….whoa! that was great! ANY WHO

So I agree I love me some BEY AT TIMES,but to be honest she NEVER REALLY TOOK A BREAK, cuz you still heard her on remix tapes, you just mean you/we haven’t seen her on TV, but in all honesty she does work hard like when she came out with her last CD, that woman made one to many videos that NEVER PLAYED ON BET or rarely any other music stations. bUT i GIVE HER A VIA high five CUZ SHE WORKED IT. But she needs to take a “BREAK BREAK” like go make babies. CHILL allow us to REALLY want her back cuz right now I’m kind of enjoying SOME OF THE NEW COMERS and I think it’s their turn and maybe she should start guiding some in the industry( COUGH COUGH; BEY if u read this PLEASE don’t steal my IDEA w/o 10% cut lol) but I think she would make an excellent producer and knows a GREAT VOICE when she hears one, THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN come back!

p.s. if she decids or is already doing the “producer” thing promise not to RUN ACROSS the videos dancing unlike ONE THAT SHOULD REMAIN NAMELESS, but I believe ya’ll follow lol

Why is her boob peaking out? Seriously? If it were some new artist a lot of you Beyonce praisers would say that was too much showing. Beyonce has always sold sex throughout her career in a “glamorous” way and that’s the number 1 reason why I can’t stand her. She looks so weird in these photos. Her features are so wide and big. She looks very stiff and there is way too much photoshop! No I aint no hater, I’m just saying what I feel like some one would who loves this shoot. Point blank, Beyonce is boring and cliche now. She’ll be in the same washed up position like how Janet is very soon.

@99

Just like lil waynes music…the beats are hot..but the lyrics r off the damn wall…

@33, where exactly is he r boob peakung out? If you want to see something, go check out Ciara’s new Vibe cover where she is COMPLETELY naked ok.

Why/are/people/always/worshipping/and/defending/these/celebrities/I/can/see/if/anybody/on/here/said/something/about/yaw/family/or/GOD/then/yaw/should/get/mad/but/over/people/yaw/don’t/know/that’s/ridiculous

Like I said earlier there are no brains behind the beauty. Yes, she works hard to dance around the stage and yes she sings well. But the girl couldn’t give an intelligent interview to save her life.

Nevermind!

BEYONCE LOOKS FIERCE AS ALWAYS…. LET THE HATING BEGIN

200+ comments in one day….dang!

Whether you like it or not, she is well on her way to becoming an icon.

Oh and Happy Birthday Beyonce!

#233 So you saying you don’t like no female artist because they have all sold sex in one form or another. That’s why I don’t understand why these jealous females criticize this women so much when we’ve seen every singer wear tons of makeup show lots of sexuality wear hella weaves and little clothing from time to time yet they would have you think only Bey did it. Yeah she has made non relevant songs like get me bodied, freakum dress and kitty kat but does she get credit for the songs like Dangerously in Love, Listen, Me Myself and I and all the countless other ones on her CDs you haters hate to mention. And she can say she wants to be an icon because she will one day hold that title like it or not. I’m not saying you have to love this girl but it’s very sad when people try to talk about her breast ,hair ,skin color , and education of all things just to find a reason to hate. Bey do you girl you look great have tons of money(unlike some singers) and you stay on top and that’s why they mad now. Talking about education like yall got so much. If you did you wouldn’t be on blogs hating so damn much. I wonder how cute they gon find Ciara when they see her naked on the cover of vibe this month.

she gets alot of posts in 1 day…wow

HAPPY B-DAY B!!! SHE’S JUST BEAUTIFUL. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CD TO DROP.

@200 LMAOOOOOOOO!
I feel you! This bish is like ” I don’t want to be a hot girl I wanna be a legend. I’m over being a pop star”. Yeah bish your expiration date has passed. The public is sick of your over played over exposed one trick pony look and sound.

Legends=Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, The Beatles….YOUR ASS IS NOT A LEGEND singing FREAKUM DRESS just isn’t going to cut it! Get over yourself BeYAWNce. Jay Z is a rap legend. You are just his bish. That doesn’t make you legendary because trust me has more bishes in his lineup than you can count lol

^^ I think she knows that lol
I don’t think she thinks she can change JAY-Z. If you decide to marry a BK playa, you must lay in the bed you made. I seriously doubt that she thinks he will ever change. She settled basically. He does whatever he wants. period.

As for the look, the new pics look forced. She looks mad uncomfortable.
I wish she’d just smile and try to look pretty. Unfortunately she comes across extremely dense in interviews. Sometimes less is more where she’s concerned. I prefer just to see her perform, she can be very embarrassing with the things that come out of her mouth. I cringed at the pop star comments. Legends let their work speak for itself. No announcements need to be made about it. lol

blah…omg i’m bored…i feel like i’ve seen the same cover 3257325 times before… =/

233 that is so very true about her selling sex in a glamorous way
jay z and her are so washed up right now

*****I love the second pic. She looks absolutely beautiful but the cover… They *****couldn’t put a bra on her?? Superstar status or not, that doesn’t look nice.

What yall mean Bey is back she aint never leave I love BEYONCE!!

Umm who did she open doors for none of DC women can get play cuz her and her daddy blocking and she’s claims she’s opening doors???She said she wishes she was Latina and now she’s proud Obama is in the spotlight…Beyonce is a lost little girl with her mama’s shape who needs a man’s guidance ….jay z tell her to shut up!!!

She looks wonderful ! Very pretty ! Love the eyes !

*****Happy B-Day BEE

Dang, yall still hating. Like someone said, with over 200 comments in under a day, she’s already an icon. And I see some people are disturbed by her comment on working on being a legend. I guess that AMA award flew over your head. Hate her or love her, the girl gets mad respect from the industry and her album/tour sales prove that. Seems liks you all may be the delusional ones.

At any rate, happy b-day to Bey. I’m sure she is very happy with her life at this point. I can’t wait to see what she has in store this time because the haters are already on their jobs even before it’s started.

She’s back? she never went any damn place.

She looks great.

I think this whole beyonce comparing is too funny. There room for everyone to shine. Yes she is beautiful, talent and can perform her ass off. But come on she not the only one that can do the damn thing. Everyone have there year they shine. Alot of people r tired and u have the one that is not. We going to have debates on alot of issue this is one of them. That what make the world goes around. So you going to support her or not. I need her to bring something to the table because she is doing the same thing. So let me see something out the norm from her.

Love Beyonce, she’s unstoppable. Love her comment about “we all feel part of our country now” because that is what Michelle Obama really meant about being proud for the first time of this country. This country is finally including black people to the level that a black man has been nominated to perhaps become President of the United States. Really believe that we would have had a black presidential nominee like Barack, long time ago if it wasn’t for the disapportionate number of abortions that we have. The abortion rate and premature infant deaths for blacks( not even including murder rate and incarceration) is partly to blame for our losing ground to hispanics in becoming the majority minority. We kill off as many as being made. Aren’t we glad Barack’s mother chose to have him instead of aborting him. Have your children sistas!!!

I commend your statement. I too feel what Beyonce was saying. Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Beyonce. I was skimming the Jermaine Dupri thread and took notice of his words. When Barack spoke it felt as if you were in church recieving the word of christ almost. You were moved, you felt as if you were really a part of the big picture.

I think they airburshed these pics wayyy too much. I love Beyonce, but I dont really like these pics. I hate when magazines do that.

Happy B’day BEY!!! She’s FAB!

@ 233

Are you serious with your comment about her selling sex? What rock do you live under because the whole music industry is based on selling sex…From how the R&B females dress, to the male singers taking off their shirts to the rap videos where girls are running around basically naked…IT AINT JUST BEYONCE, ITS THE BUSINESS PERIOD!!

All these comments of pure ENVY this is a shame…Just let it go I don’t like Beyonce like that but damn ppl are going so hard as to say her skin/face looks messed up in the picture….How about you people purchase a program called Photoshop its obvious someone “tweeked” and this was what they felt was best for the shoot….ENVY @ ITS BEST *Tissssk tissssk*

Go Bey 261 comments and counting !!!!!!

There is no emotion on Beyonce’s face, really.

I like here though.

Respected my azz.She is too old to be a pop star. Hanna Montana, got that covered. Some one must explain the difference between respect and lust. She is not respected but lusted after. She is not the hardest working women in the business, Madonna is. She needs a few more world tours under her belt. Michael Jackson is an Icon, The music business does not give you that much longevity any more. She will never reach the level of a Halle Berry as far as acting goes and Diana Ross only had clut classics, Lady Sings the Blues and Mahogany, wait a minute Diana did that tired rendition of the Wiz also. Music was always Diana’s money maker. Bey better sit down and educate herslef on some new business ventures, so she can have a fall back.

go Bey 261+ comments …. you the baddest

HAPPY B-DAY BEYONCE!:)

What barriers has she broken down to pave the way for african american
little girls? Oh Oh wait, I have the answer a big fat NONE!

She really SHOULD have worn a bra cause that saggy booby is NOT a good look. Fuck what Jay-z told you.

That mouth open part with the short teeth is not the bizness either!

Happy Birthday to us.

SHe should leave the cockiness for Jay-z. Stay humble, Bey. That is about the only endearing fake quality about you.

And why are people happy about 270 comments? Did it not take 2 whole days for her to get this many comments. With all of her legendary status shouldn’t she have like 1000 comments by now LMAO. I think Rihanna had over 500. Come on Bey stans you can surely do better than 270 sumthin comments lol

Simply Beautiful…

highly respected?
haha that is really hilarious
she is a joke…she thinks shes icon status?
jay z must be gassing her up thier so arrogant,,

I lack a sense of personality from her… but we all love her regardless right? lol

Personally, I dont know how she can come up with new material if she hasn’t time to go away and really get in her own head. I would love to see her take the role of Mrs Carter… cook Jigga some eggs n bacon, and do a bit of house work. LOL… jk jk… but i would love for her to give us a chance to MISS her… as much as i love her, im gettin a little tired of her face.

Beyonce stays making the haters mad. Shake ‘em off, girl and happy 27th bday.

… haterz still trying …get a life losers… baddest chick in the game reconize REAL TALENT & Beauty … HAPPY B-Day Beyonce
RAIN ON THESE HATERZ

Beyonce, you’re a black Marilyn Monroe. You know…the woman who killed herself because her peers were in fact highly respected and skilled actors/artists and she was merely a sex symbol with every bit of the mortality that that implies. You know, you get old and/or wrinkled/fat and it’s over? See Brigitte Bardot

No, even beyonce knows she is no longer the hottest chick in the game. She now would like to be a legend which means you are too damn old and washed up to compete anymore. Yeah, she knows, she can’t be a chameleon with her look, her fashion game or her music. She has run out of fresh ideas…but at least she can admit that her time is basically up as a “pop star”.

She knows, here comes this new wack ass cd and mtv isn’t going to play her videos so she is preparing you bey stans and lace front worshippers. Just get ready, she is on Janet Jackson’s trail. The backlash is a comin’ and yall not ready. Beyonce has come out before the cd actually crashes and burns to let you all know she is now a legend=so it doesn’t matter that all these younger chicks is hogging the media now. Ms. delusional and narcissistic Knowles is preparing yall for her downfall…question is ARE YOU READY? lol What will the Stans do now? lol

Also, the saggy itty bitties is just plain ridiculous! I know they were attempting to make them look bigger, but instead they look like the breast of a person who has given birth to a couple of children, saggy mess. She needs a push up bra right quick!!!

Reading these comments it’s amazing the amount negativity being said ! ????
If Beyonce is soo washed up and is really preparing us for her downfall why even bother commenting on her ??? Janet Jackson practically 15-20 yrs older than
Beyonce how do they compare ? Bey career is far from over ..but if it was who’s next iin line RIh-Alien or whoever else’s no talent ass can never compare to Beyonce performing or singing skills. I think ya’ll HATERS are just plain scared cause the baddest chick in the game is returning, she has well earned her title and will shut it DOWN. So stand back & we’ll see ….MOST of these 200+ comments is of people hating on her…so she must doing something right !!!
GO MRS. CARTER … STOP JOCKIN BEYONCE

DAMNNNNNNNN I didnt think she would get this many comments…Anyway She is already a legend of our times. Althought Bday was CD with alot of up tempo beats and club bangers…she released Deja Vu and Irreplacable…She has Me, myself and I, Dangerously In love, Independent Women, Survior, And Crazy In Love to name a few. And she is one of the GREATEST singers of our time. She will be remember for a long time…she is LEGEND.

I don’t like the cover, but hell, she’s supporting Obama.

OK before anyone calls me a hater, she is pretty and has made some nice songs like “Beautiful Liar” and “Flaws and All” but why does this girl get so much hype? I just don’t see how she’s legendary. What’s so iconic here? She doesn’t so anything that any other typical singer hasn’t done. She definitely wasn’t in the first girl group. 2 solo albums doesn’t make you an icon, and to an extent, if DC never broke up the first time, she never would’ve gotten the attention. She’s won a some Grammys, but apparently anyone can nowadays, as Souljah Boy had a Grammy nod last yr. The thing is, a icon should be someone who has set a precedent and I just don’t see that here. If I’m wrong, please let me know. Inform me about what makes her so worthy of all this praise. I personally think her looks has been one of the main reasons people hype her up. Never seen Jill Scott or Angie Stone get that kind of hype.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is the best!

Ok do you know who an icon is Janet, Tupac, Madonna, Michael Jackson Prince Mariah. These are people who have music that is time less. People who have MUSIC that is FOREVER Beyonce is following in line of other artist the clothing lines the perfumes..the movie roles.She has not set herself apart from anybody out there. If beyonce is pretty than that’s model material but her music is not forever. She has not grown lyrically. Lucky for her…her daddy works his A$$ off to put her out there.

HI HATERS!!
as ya’ll sittin on the computer hatin.
bey is laughin all the way to the bank.
fa real.. i jus dont understand ya’ll
some of ya’ll claim to hate but i bet you got both her solo albums.
and if you dont like her so much….
then why u still commenting her?

Lemme sum it up….Why are there so many hater’s that are determined to hate on her, that’s why this country is so divided because ya’ll SAME ass people come to ALL of the blogging sites on the ENTIRE internet and make negative comments, why not skip over it and let people who are fans look at the content?? Nobody wants to hear you constantly saying how tired you are of seeing her or of her music. Let’s just say someone told you that they were tired of seeing you and that they wanted you to disappear off the face of the earth, how would you feel? That’s right terrible, because America is a confused bunch of people, because when she was just chillin ya’ll were talking about “Where’s B? I miss her!” and “I hope she comes out with something new soon”. Make up your freaking mind! She has NO obligation to do or say what you want her to, and ya’ll are so consumed with celebrities that ya’ll want to know and control every aspect of their lives, NEWS FLASH: CELEBRITIES ARE HUMAN TOO!!! And there are always a handful of people trying to compare her to Rihanna and that is DEFINITELY NO COMPARISON. And it’s foolish to even think so. Now after YEARS of comparing Solange to Bey, now ya’ll don flipped the damn script and now ya’ll are comparing her to Solange! Wow….Ya’ll never cease to AMAZE and ASTOUND me! Continue being haters’, they’re not loosing sleep, and at the end of the day they are still richer that you’ll ever be as long as your hating.

And to Desiree…Just SHUT UP!….if your “JOB” is so important and you are making so much money, how do you have the time??? Answer that for me!

And BTW, her breasts aren’t saggy, that’s how real breasts look, U know the one’s that aren’t surgically implanted, Oh goodness that would be a whole new issue if she got implants! Let it go people!

hahahaha! you stans are straight up DELUSIONAL. Beyonce is not a legend because 2 solo cd’s does not make a legend. Try Michael Jackson, like 60 million cd’s sold for thriller, probably more than that by now…come on Ms. Knowles is too damn old to ever make it to legendary status. Michael started when he was like 6 and has too many cd’s and solo albums to count. Ms. Knowles has 2!! lmao

Someone has to bring you dummies back down to earth, that’s what balances out the stans, yall need a reality check and we are here to give it to you! Call me a hater all you want, but the truth hurts obviously…and if our opinions doesn’t matter since you think we are haters, why keep trying to convince us that lacefront wearing ditzy ass beyonce who has no kind of business speaking on politics, is a legend? I don’t think so.

The person above me is one delusional HATER.

Beyonce is lead singer of the BEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP OF ALL TIME.

Beyonce has sold over 130 million records.

She has won over 150 awards.

She has been on over 183 magazine covers.

Her 2 solo albums have both made history with chart-topping singles (CIL,Irreplacable,etc.).

She is the FIRST singer to be on the cover of SI.

She is the FIRST black woman to win ASCAP songwriter of the year.

She is the FIRST woman in history to receive the INTERNATIONAL ARTIST OF EXCELLENCE award which only LEGENDS like Michael have received.

She has performed with Tina, Prince, Patti, etc and is respected by all her idols.

She sold 50 million dollars in tickets.

She is the ONLY black singer in FORBES.

Anyone who thinks Beyonce isn’t on her way to LEGEND status is in complete denial.

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN!! legends are legends BASED ON THEIR MUSIC!!!! ONLY ON THEIR MUSIC and mostly as SOLO ARTISTS!!!! That is what stans don’t understand!!! Legends transend RACE and GENDER!!! MEN AND WOMEN LOVE prince madonna janet mariah James Brown. All of them have been able to create a different sound..and have even caused controversy for taking stands for what they believe in not caring what people say. they are the first to do what they do… and most of all have REINVENTED THEMSELVES lol beyonce isn’t strong enough to hold the title of LEGEND simple.. she should have just said fashion icon…nope she knows better than that!!! People don’t say there will never be another beyonce people say oh she looks and/or sounds just like beyonce. SORRY STANS YOU LOSE

Yo, she looks like an effin cartoon caracter!!! People really need to relax with the photo-shoppin’ on this thick… She can hold he own fine like that! And oh yeah, she looks really white in that second picture! What a damn SURPRISE, huh!!!

CAPTION IT ” i’M BaaaaaaaaaCk!!!

her monkey-asss retard she calls a dad.must pay these editorS!!!~`

this FLING makes me siCK!!!

Beyonce is a beautiful and talented woman. And like all women before her who exhibited beauty, talent and that something special, she will forever have her naysayers and detractors. Diana, Madonna, Janet all had theirs–it’s all apart of being a star, being different than the pack. And while (according to some of you) she may not give the best interviews, display the best fashion sense or make every song the most relevant and meaningful, for today, right now, she reigns. Love her or hate her, she is a phenom and long after her star has faded, she will be remembered.

Beyonce looks beautiful in those photos…man I wish people would just shut the hell up and stop hating all the time on this girl damn!!!!! Even when she isn’t doing anything “wrong” per say, people still got to complain. Anyone with eyes can see that Bey is nice looking in those photos.

Bey is about to sting when her album drops in Nov so stand the fuck back!!!
