@#7

i cant stand that hassellback…she always got something negative to say about obama..i know she is a racist eventhough she tries to act like she is not!!

“If I were a boy” & “Single Ladies”? Has Beyonce learned nothing from “Bday”?

ya’ll here hasselback talking reckless about Michelle O?

___________________________________________________________________

She didn’t talk reckless about her, what she said was that..Michelle had a list of topics that weren’t allowed to be discussed when she visited “The View”, whereas Cindy McCain didn’t. C’mon, she’s campaigning for McCain. What’d you expect?

As for Hasselbeck on the View - I think she racist too, I saw the clip when she talked about Michelle. That two-faced heffa…she can catch one.

She’s always ‘claiming’ writing credits. But aside from that I can’t wait to buy the new CD. I heard some tracks on her website and I wasn’t impressed at all, hopefully they didn’t make the cut and the CD will have some hot tracks on it.

It sounds like this is a different direction than her last album. Can’t wait to hear it.

“If I were a Boy” and “Single Ladies” lol? Sounds like another black male bashfest.

i truly don’t care one way or another about beyonce, but could she PULEEEZE stop jacking other artist! everyone knows that Ciara already put it down on “If I were a boy”. If this album is suppose to be “so personal”, then why is she jacking? not original, Bey, not original…..

as far as hasselbach goes, just look at it like this; the haters only hate when you are doing something great or fabulous! if michelle o wasn’t giving these hoes a run for their money, they wouldn’t try to paint her as “angry, anti-patriotic, etc.”. she is strong, black, tall, beautiful, intelligent and on top. STAND UP!

—She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"”"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”"”" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?-☆☆☆☆———

FeFe Dobson did “If I were a Guy” in 2003 — Ciara “If I Were a Boy” 2006? now Bey “If I Were a Boy” 2008 jeeeez…lol…

Anyway, I’m looking forward to her new cd!

BEAUTY Q.T. (Hot damn hoe here we go again!)

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

Wavin’ @ DAME! Sup? ( If I Were A Boy has me thinking along the lines of Ciara Like A Boy)- that’s the first thing that came to mind for me too. I wonder if the concept is the same…

24.

*****Dame(counting down to Fashion Rocks tonight)

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

Ciara song is called Like A Boy

There are several artist that have songs with the same title.

Anyways I am looking forward to the cd

25.

Yeah Sure

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

@#11 She didn’t learn a damn thing. It’s going to be the same meaningless, shallow booty popping music that she’s capable of writing. Beyonce can’t write anything inspiring, touching or life changing. It’s all bubble gum which is why most of her fans are teeny bobbers. I know her minions are going to say Im a hater, but whatever, I’m just speaking the truth.

26.

Nichole261

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

@11…I hope she has more too offer on this CD as well…but those are only 2 title tracks out of maybe 10 to 14 tracks…so it’s too early too judge…I hope it will be a nice mixture of dance and ballads…

I hope her cd is different from B’day which I did like but I hope her new one is better

Can somebody please explain to me how everybody else tracks from their prospective albums have somehow leaked on the internet but not Queen B.
Michelle’s whole album was leaked, Solange and Kelly’s so what’s going on with that.
I guess they (matthew) is holding on to his beloved daughters music so she can actually sell some records and debut at #1. Unlike everyone else’s.People have not had the chance to download her sh@t so they will most likely go out and buy it.

beyonce’s voice is annoying, i have never and will never buy her album.

I cannot wait for the inevitable fight between stans and haters. I can remember when B’day came out, comments HAD TO be closed.

me, will be getting the album though, but the fight between those two groups is PRICELESS.

35.

*****Dame(counting down to Fashion Rocks tonight)

@ Toons I never said it wasn’t some one put the wrong title for Ciara song but yeah it is maybe the same.

Shit…i am NOT ready for another Beyonce album.

“If I Were A Boy???”….”Like A Boy???” Hmmmm…I dnt knw. She already bucked Ciara’s video idea with the alter-ego’s when she did the “Upgrade U” video. What’s this one…in black and white??? SMH.

And the writing credits??? Yea Beyonce…okay, we’ll play along with that one. Ad-libs and the famous “ooohhhh yyyeeaaa” towards the end of the songs DON’T count!

37.

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

I’m not going to call anyone a hater for not liking her music, but why come to the post to bash her since clearly this post is only about her album news. Something obviously peaked your interest or you wouldn’t be here. I know, it’s not a fan site, so I expect negative comments but when you go out of your way to be negative, thats were your questionable intent comes in to play, so it comes off as hating or being bitter.

@25 I am not a teeny bopper and I do enjoy Beyonce’s music. Does that mean I enjoy every song she puts out, of course not. I like all kind of artists that do not make “teeny bopper” music and all Beyonce’s music is not the same. I also enjoy Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, India Arie, Jill Scott, and many others so you’re assumption is completely inaccurate.

.I dont understand why there is so much hate for Beyonce, when she is one of the most talented singers of our time. You have people that say “she needs to take a break, or she needs to sit down, etc.” She hasnt even come out with anything. But low and behold, Rhianna has been everywhere are nobody says anything. I miss see great performances, so I’m personally glad that she is coming back out.

@DAME (#31), yea, people Bey hatin’. LOL. Did you like that?

43.

Hush it!

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

@33 Then don’t buy it, no one is forcing you. Matter of fact no one forced you to comment about this artist you don’t like.

I cannot stand Mary J.’s voice but my not buying her album does not make her any less successful.

@38 I’m sure she’ll quit when the time is right for her. She’s been doing this for 10 years, but if she’s doing what she loves and she’s good at it, then why stop. I hope there are other women don’t have your same attitude of giving up because a few people don’t like what you do.

Yeah @43 i chose to comment on this post cause the last time i checked this is not a beyonce fan site. I’m free to express my opinion just as how your free to to stand up for B. I never stated that B was not successful, i just stated that i wouldn’t buy her album. That certaintly would not make her any less successful.

FeFe Dobson did “If I were a Guy” in 2003 — Ciara “If I Were a Boy” 2006? now Bey “If I Were a Boy” 2008.
————————————————————————————————————————

You’re so correct. Don’t give Cici all the credit guys. Anyways I hope this is not a rip off of that song because I’ll be highly dissappointed in Bey. “Single ladies” sound like it will be like “independent women” but who knows I’ll have to check out the samples whenever they are posted or if one of my friends gets the cd. Sorry Bey economy is low and you’re already rich so I gotta make sure I keep my savings in tact. Wish her the best of luck though.

THERE GOING TO BE ALOT OF DEAD PEOPLE FLOATING SOMEWHERE OR DEPRESS PEOPLE BECAUSE PEOPLE TAKE COMMENTS TO SERIOUS ON THIS SITE. PEOPLE BE OVERBOARD WITH HER. SHE DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT U OR WHAT ANYONE THINK. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHE GOING TO BE AROUND IF U DO NOT LIKE IT OR NOT. IM NOT A BIG FAN SO NO I WILL NOT BE BUYING NOTHING. BUT OTHER WILL SO LET THEM OVERPROTECTED FANS GO CRAZY. BUT IM WAITING FOR ALL THAT STUFF I SAID HAPPEN. PEOPLE GOING TO LOSE THEIR MINDS.

The intelligence on this site has to be the equivalence of 2 marbles rolling around in a tin can…. How yall gonna already have preconceived notions about music that you haven’t even heard yet……. So what if she has a similar title to Ciara, that means absolutely nothing. 2 this day you have never heard her jack anything from anybody so why would she get this far in her career to start. I think if anything, it was a calculated decision to stir up buzz about the album!! And all you haters fell 4 it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOSERS!!!!

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 /

@ 51 you must be a man (or just can’t get one) because that song was not crap. It was very truthfull. Or maybe your just blindsided by what your man it probably doing to you. As for B who’s to say if it will or won’t be like CC’s song. Just wait till it come out. Im not a major fan of hers, but I do listen to her music. I just hoping she aint putting out this album to overshadow her ex band mate Michelle. Not only with the album, but the singles will be out at the same time. You never know! Sometimes the ones who play that sweet role aint so sweet. (remember the Letoya Luckett issue). Not hating, but I’m just saying. STATING THE FACTS!!!!

I can’t wait for Beyonce’s C.D to be released. I know that she will come with heat like she always does.

For those who want her to sit down. What in the world has she released this year? The last time she really performed was what..at the Grammy’s in February. She hasn’t had any of her own new material released since early 2007, and an album since 2006. The reason she’s so called always around because THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT HER, whether positive or negative, the more she will be on the radio and in the CLUBS, and it’s like she never left. You don’t like her music, but her hustle is impeccable. It’s not her fault that you keep her name in your mouth, which keeps her own magazines on the radio, even when she has no new material.

yes.

Beyonce will now come and SAVE this lil ol thing called “MUSIC”. There has NOT been an epidemic since “B-Day” dropped 2years ago and it STILLS sends any club or function UP! So get with it or get lost. Beyonce is the SOUNDTRACK of our generation and thats all to it.

This woman has worked to staple herself to the TOP of the triangle… and she is there… not to be touched until she sits down (and even when she does that she’ll still be considered to be ONE of the best of all time). Its just the way it is way. She sings, dances, ENTERTAINS and TIPS on these kittens out here and everyone knows it. She is the FULL package and I am sorry Rihanna, Cassie, Alicia, Baby Jen, or any of these kittens can come for her.

Like she quoted in her Marie Claire issue “I am OVER being the “it” girl… I desire to be ICONIC”…. and ill be damned if she isnt well on her way.

Hurricane Bey is coming and all the palm trees shall “take a bow”… November 18.

Its “BEY” season bitches…. get your spray or get STUNG!

@ 25 It’s funny that you say that all of Beyonce’s fans are teeny boppers…when you know for a fact that isn’t true at all. People kill me on this blog making big generalizations because they don’t like an artist. You don’t like them? Fine. The last time I checked legends like Prince, Luther Vandross (R.I.P), Tina Turner, Patti Labelle, etc, and everyone who respects Beyonce’s work are FAR from Teenyboppers. Not to mention, if you’ve ever seen any concert footage you will see people of all ages, from the young to OLD at Beyonce’s concerts, and thoroughly enjoying her music. Any footage of fans backstage, etc, are usually people who are in their twenties and above. I’m a fan and far from a teenybopper.

When Beyonce and D.C has songs with meaning “Stand Up for Love”, for example, it doesn’t go n e where. You act like it never existed. There are plenty of songs on Beyonce’s albums that are inspiring, but since you’re a clear hater I don’t expect you to get past the club singles, the club singles which you probably dance to in the clubs. They inspired you to get you on the dance floor I bet. Ha.

It’s cool that you tell yourself anything to make you feel better about not liking Beyonce, someone who will still be successful whether u like her, or even me. What you said is not the truth. So deal with it.
