Go Beyonce! I still haven’t heard the new songs yet. Loving the cover. Congrats Paris

Bee looks absolutely great on the cover. I can’t wait for my opportunity to shoot with her.

CHRISTMAS IN PARIS…Oh Joy

Congratulations Paris!

I love the way Bey answered that question on Jay: “What Jay and I have is real. It’s not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It’s real..”. She kept it sweet and simple aka mind your own business! In due time, Bey WILL be a legend.

paris and egypt. jay and bee.

I heard “If I were a Boy” this morning on the radio (z100) and it was the s**t!!!!!

She came with it vocally, relatively and the lyrics were excellent! IMO

I’m curious to hear what “Single Ladies” sounds like!

Super, stunning, sexy, siren, smart, simple. Yup, Beautiful Bee.~ Beyonce~

Angel, can you post the original song by BC Jean called if I were a Boy, the song that Beyonce is coming out with. Also, the cover looks overly photoshopped. I think since her album is coming out now Beyonce wants to talk about her wedding it was relevant when she she got married. Congrats to Paris on her baby girl.

Congrats to Paris, I like that pic of her. I love me some Ann Nesby too lol

Nice cover Beyonce. I heard her new song. Very nice

Im gonna say this once. Beyonce is all about having a good reputation and her and her family doesn’t want that image to be ruined, but I don’t think she knows that her image is in away already been ruined. The real reason that Beyonce ALWAYS seems to garner so much hate from the media and on different blog sites is not because she is light-skinned because if that were the case I would see just as much hate comments when we talk about a Rihanna or a Tyra Banks. The REASON for as to why people will always kind of not like her is because people feel that she stepped on Letoya, Letavia, Farrah, Kelly, and Michelle to become a star. Like in a Letoya interview she said that Beyonce and her father weren’t thinking as team players and used Destiny’s Child as a stepping stone to get where they wanted to go. I feel that we will see a fall from Beyonce because Michelle isn’t happy and Michelle isn’t up in Beyonce’s ass as Kelly is. I have a feeling that one day Michelle will write a tell-all book to destroy her career. Like always say KARMA IS A BISH!!!

Go Bey! I like her Jay response also…

Congrats to Paris… she seemed so sweet on AI!

……..YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MAAM Miss BEYONCE. Looking Gorgeous.

……..You guys need to see the pics inside. She looks absolutely flawless.

Love BeYOncE Always!

She looks Beauty!!! As Always!

She’s a ☆ she’s a ◆
She’s BEYonCE!

Jeeze!

Amazing what dirt celebrities will dish to sell records, books and to promote movies. Now she wants to talk about her relationship to Jay. It is old news. Who cares.

I still say Beyonce is going to kill her own career with too much over exposure. It is called over kill just like J-Lo.

—— I heard Bey’s song on the radio this morning. Love her !!

Eh.
I seem to be the only one who didn’t care for her new songs.

Maybe it’ll grow on me.

Damn! Still haven’t heard her new joint! I’m hoping that CL will post it -hint, hint.

Beyonce is all about image.
I’m sure what she is Jay Z have is real. that Jay Z wanted to date her not because he helped his image and vice versa. That Destiny Child changed things for Women all over the world. With song like Let me Cater to You”

“I Got Your Slippers, Your Dinner, Your Dessert, And So Much More
Anything You Want, I Want To Cater To You”

Or better yet the grand lryics from Solider….

“If his status ain’t hood, I ain’t checkin’ for him
Better be street if ya lookin’ at me”

I can see women all over the globe singing these wonderful lyrics Bey.

Or better yet singing about guys on Drugs that their eyes are not even open…
Eyes see so low from that chiefin’

Beyonce just stop it please!

This is what makes me say give it a BREAK.
If you want to be seen like an ICON start acting like one.

bey’s new single…if i were a boy is killer!!!!! it should be number 1 b4 it even comes out! seriously!!! who want it with bey?

congrats to paris!!!! that’s my baby!

IF JAY-Z HONESTLY CARED ABOUT BEYONCE IT WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN HIM 6 YEARS TO MARRY HER. THAT’S NOT LOVE HE WAS CONTEMPLATING. SHE THINKS ALOT HIGHLY OF HERSELF THAN WHAT SHE SHOULD. ALL THAT ARROGANT WAYS OF THINKING IS EXACTLY WHY SHE DID NOT GET THE OSCAR FOR DREAMGIRLS. PARIS??? THERE IS NOTHING EXCITING ABOUT A CHILD BEING BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK. ANOTHER STATISTIC OF A BLACK WOMAN NOT MARRIED. SHE HAD A CAREER AHEAD OF HER NOW THAT BABY IS ABOUT TO SLOW ALL OF THAT DOWN.

who is this woman that Beyawn keeps talking about? Who is the woman that writes her own songs (does she mean takes credit for songs other people has written)????

I am so over her…let’s talk about real talent…

Aww beyonce looks really pretty on the cover. I am going to get the mag so i read the entire interview. She is so perfect. Lmao..

#10 just kill yourself.

You typed a whole paragraph that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic. One word for you: PATHETIC.

BTW Rihanna and Tyra Banks get hate on blogs too. All celebs do. And if people really hated Beyonce, then she would not be a megastar and Letoya would have blew up. So apparently MILLIONS of people love Beyonce.

So go on somewhere with your psycho Miss Cleo fortune teller bullcrap.

LISTEN TO THE NEW SINGLE “IF I WERE A BOY” HERE:

http://kisscleveland.elvi...n.com/pages/news/beyonce/

———————-

The song is nice. I read the interview snippets and I don’t agree with her statement
“I completely believe that you don’t have to go to church at all if you are disciplined enough to sit down and dedicate time to pray and get to know God and read the Bible.”

No, Jesus said “upon this Rock I build my Church.” And that doesn’t mean you have to go the building every Sunday, but you do need to be apart of a community of believers who can speak truth to you and encourage you and hold you accountable.

But she does go on to say that for her, it’s necessary to be around other believers because it’s more effective.

@10 Please..you have got to be kiddin! Honey that is the music business, every man for him or herself. Think about the Jacksons they were a family and only two were sucessful. Would you say that Micheal should be ashamed of himself !?! At the end of the day i’m sure they (Michelle and Kelly) realize that it is business and not personal. They had great success with Destiny Child so they will be alright! Beyonce seems to be more determined, she has a goal in mind and she’s not gonna stop until she reaches it…. that’s not a bad thing!

#18 #20 and #21 go sit down somewhere.

DC is the best selling girl group of all time and Beyonce has several songs that have made history. Not everybody likes ballads. Crazy in love, Irreplacable, Independent Women, etc were all worldwide hits so #18 just stfu.

And #20 since when is there a time limit to marry somebody. I know people who dated for 20 years and then got married. You just sound stupid as hell.

And #21 sorry to burst your bubble but Beyonce is already an icon and is on her way to becoming a legend. Jhud may have won an Oscar but she is still not as popular, rich, and successful as Beyonce. People act like that Dreamgilrs thing destroyed her career or something. It didn’t affect her at all. Beyonce is the one in Forbes not Jhud.

And if Beyonce’s wedding is irrelevant then why are people still talking about it? They are still talking about her ring and asking her about it so obviously the topic is relevant.

Haters make no sense. They really are delusional.

beyonce made that statement about a cappella and writing her own to diss rhianna! that was to sho rhi rhi that no matter what… she aint got nothing on her. and it also goes for cassie and ciara, too.

damn bey is sexy as hell. hottest chick in the game fo sho. jay a lucky nigga

SHE IS NOT EVEN REALLY TALKING ABOUT HER WEDDING SHE SAID ONE THING AND THAT WAS IT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!! RELAX

number 27 you doing some serious reaching. lmao

I heard the Beyonce song this morning and I didn’t really like it, sounds just like one of her previous songs.

**** Hey Mrs. Carter photoshopped cover but she is cute

*****her singles are ok not major If I Were A Boy is for pop radio Irreplaceable beat

*************Singles Ladies sounds like Get Me Bodied part 2

******I am still buying that cd tho

beyonce… yawn.. she should have discussed this when the story was still hot, congrats paris

that new beyonce song is fire! dj’s are eating up. they telling other singers to bow down.

* Chris

You forgot about bootlicious, pay my bills (song about a man getting over on a woman), Irreplaceable (song about a man getting over a woman), ring the alarm…
she is just brillant i tell you…brillant

the beyonce wedding is still hot if people are still asking her about it.

damn do you some of you even think before you type? people are still talking about that wedding. get over it. if it wasnt a hot topic, you wouldn’t be commenting on it.

oh and bey is FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE on that cover.

all cover pics are photoshopped so dont even start that crap.

that is a beautiful woman.

#35 aka chris you are so sad. how many times are you going to type under different names saying the same ish over and over?

millions love beyonce so get over it. all those songs you named were hits. and its funny how you can name all her songs yet you claim not to like her. go jump off a bridge.

You people constantly contradict yourselves. You claim not to be a Beyonce fan but you know all her songs. That makes no sense. Give props when due. No other black female artist has accomplished as much as Beyonce in such a short time. She has done music movies endorsements sold out areans around the world and so on. She is going to continue to do her thang no matter what anyone says or thinks.

******** Congrats Paris!

The Essence interview is REAL that Beyonce did. I love her answers - they’re mature and real and not looking to sell or promote anything. She spoke from her heart.

IF I WERE A BOY AND SINGLE LADIES ARE FFFFFIIIIIYYYYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

They’ve been playing both and IIWAB lyrics are hot and her vocals are KRAZAY!!!

SL is of da muddafocking chain!!!! I can’t WAIT for that to get poppin’ in the clubs!!!

ANYONE who doesn’t like these two singles are either PURE HATERS or are DEAF TO REAL MUSIC.

FINALLY!!!! REAL MUSIC FOR THE LADIES!!!!

Go BEYONCE!!!! She looks so freaking HOT on the cover and both her songs are hot. Queen Bey is back!!!!!!!

Beyonce’s new songs are posted over at Dlisted for anyone who wants to hear them. RUSH ON OVER to dlisted.com

After hearing B’s version vs. BC Jean’s the original is much better. Beyonce’s version sounds a bit sad while BC’s sounds more edgier.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSTA8C5A084 —If I were a boy “Beyonce’ “

They had to recycle this interview or Bey is giving the same answers to questions she was 2, 3 years ago. Vrey pretty magazine cover. I will not be buying it. Essence always has the same cover models over and over again.

Congrats Paris!

I dont know what to say about Parris, so I won’t comment. As for Beyonce, nice, I jope the Essence article is more detailed then these snippets here, sometimes their articles are just fluff pieces, like the one on Monique, I thought it was a serious topic but before it could go into challenges and triumphs, it was over. I was very disappointed I wish they would take a key from Oprah’s magazine, although I think the articles are more general *(for all women), Essence should try and hire better writers.

IDIOTS AND HATERS - For those thinking Beyonce is talking about Jay NOW….

SHE ALWAYS SAID IF SHE GAVE ANY INSIGHT TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP SHE’D DO IT AFTER THEY WERE MARRIED.

HER C.D. IS GOING TO SELL IF SHE ADVERTISED IT THE DAY BEFORE IT CAME OUT OR DIDN’T ADVERTISE IT AT ALL.

STOP HATING AND CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU POST.

****Just listened to both songs, they are weak as hell. I’ll be passing on this album.

I feel beyonce on her comment about her and Jay-z…There is plenty of couples who are together just for a photo op/publicity(we won’t name no names, C. breezy)

CONGRATS to Paris, another healthy baby born into the world…Can’t ask for anything better!

I dont know why EVERY magazine claims they have the interview where Beyonce “fiinally” talks about jay. She never really talks directly about him. She gives the same answers she always gives (its private, weve lasted this long because we dont talk about it, were real we dont need to share,) and thats all fine, cuz bottom line its her business. But the magazines always claim they have THE interview where she dishes about it. PEOPLE need to realize what you already know about them is what you will always know. It will shock the hell out of me if she ever gives specific details about her relationship. Look at Jessica Simpson (ms tell all her business) all her relationships seem to crumble cuz she GIVES EVERY single detail about her personal relationships. Anyhoo like the song if i were a boy

@OB4PRES

Zip them lips hater!! Ugh, why are most of these haters so stupid and dumb?!? when song writers do songs for an artist, they usually do a rough demo recording for the artist. Then it is up to the artist to either accept it or switch it up. As usually the haters wanna have selective memory with different set of rules when it comes to Beyonce. Unfortunately haters, positive reviews are pouring in form mainstream media. Once again you FAILED haters!

….those are beys word …what does jay say lolo …..i hate photoshop…. paris enjoy your bundle of joy

********I am digging Single Ladies more it is jamming

I like her song better. You can remove your tongue from beyonce’s clit. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion just because mine does not favor image driven Beyonce doesn’t mean I’m a hater. You stans are psycho.

Bey cant be touched………that is all.

Oh and congrats to Paris, I always liked her.

…..As far as ppl saying that Beyonce ruined Letoya and Latavia careers. Lets
…..remember that BEYONCE has always had the most talent. They didn’t have to
…..form a group for Beyonce to be the SUPER-STAR that she is. And as far as I’m
…..concerned, I never understood the whole Destiny’s Child drama. But I do kno
…. that Mattehw quit a 6 firgure job to manage a girl group that wasn’t signed. It’s
…..clear the Knowles family made sacrifices. And thats why Beyonce is who she is.

….She want fall.

Where can I hear “SINGLE LADIES” ??????

I will admit that I was wrong I see the song was written and produced by Toby Gad who wrote Fergie’s Big Girls Don’t Cry. I will also state that the people at Z100 said that this is the best song of her career. So I will eat my own words. But I still like the other version. I can admit that I am wrong and I am no hater.

Beyonce is so damn sexy.

You jealous chicks kill me with that photoshop shit.

Every celeb gets photoshopped on covers but Bey is a naturally beautiful woman.

Stop the hate.

Get over it people! BEYONCE MARRIED A DRUG DEALER! How brilliant is that. The ONLY difference between them and others is that they are RICH HOODLUMS!

I heard her song “If i were a Boy”, I like the original version better. Not feeling this one. She is a talented singer though.

Beyonce is the shit!
Congrats Paris….I still think you should’ve won American Idol!

…. @4….BEAUTY Q.T.

….I guess I’ll believe “it’s real” when I hear Jay Z step up to the microphone! For so
….long, he kept her hanging by a thread. She was looking down and hiding her face.
….Now, all of a sudden, “it’s real.” Real love is something that can only be proven by
….the test of time. Not, from a “secret wedding” and “business as usual”. There’s
….nothing wrong with interviews and photo ops. Maybe the “low key” is a fear of
….failure.

@ MEAT, on “Upgrade U”, she said that she would keep his name out of the streets and I see she’s doing just that. True, they are no Will and Jada, or Bobby and Whitney, but their relationship it is what it is. Hey, she never said that she was happy…

I can not believe you called that man a drug dealer. Wow after all he has accomplished that’s how you address him. Wow but I bet the minute a Jay song come on you bopping your heads and know the words. Wow the way black people do one another is so crazy to me! We have the most racism amongst ourselves! What in the world did Jay or Beyonce do to any of you? if you dont like them keep moving turn the station ignore them, that’s what i do but to say the ignorant things that you people are saying are horrible! grow up! and check your own front lawn before all the hate.

Personally for me, I dont think there is song that I would sing 10-20 years from now that came out of DC.

Beyonce has come such a long way who would have thought Jay-z would have been the man to sweep her off her feet.I’m hating

I don’t really feel like she will be remembered as part of a “group of women” as she put it. Through most of the group’s years, it was hard to pick any voices but Beyonce’s creating those talked about harmonies and parts. Maybe “The Writing’s on the Wall” and “Destiny Fulfilled” tried to highlight the sounds of the other girls, but for the most part, it was the Beyonce show. This is more than likely while my 9 year old niece referred to the group as “Beyonce and them” during their popularity.

if jay n bey’s relationship is so real then why was it such a big secret when they got married? i think their relationship is more business…but i wont be buying another one of her albums in the future.

I think Bey is already a legend. Just with all that she has done and accomplished. I really like MOST of her songs. Even when she was with DC. Paris….hmmm. Named her baby Egypt. What’s next, Australia? Norway? I don’t know why we choose these ghetto names….I guess when you are a star, you can do whatever. Hell, Gwenyth Paltrow named her daughter Apple….

I don’t like that cover, I don’t think she will be a legend…because her music is fun, but it’s not more than romantic and dance songs,, it’s not groundbreaking or intelligent music

Good answer about her private..Iam not interested in what her Jay-Z do at home

Iam SO sick of the word hater being used in the wrong context…. if someone doesn’t say how awesome or great your favorite celeb is.their a “hater”

A hater.. is someone like Hitler

if you want to know what hate really is…Read about the middle passage, the Holocause or the Genocide Rawanda

….

She should have smiled with her eyes on that cover. She always looks like a deer in headlights on magazine covers.

Beyonce is never going to be a legend. Regradless how many commercials she appears in or who she’s married to. If you think about black, female singers that are actual legends, I think about women like Patti Labelle. Patti has been singing since before I was born and she continues to get paid today. She has had staying power all these years because she can actually sing - she is not a studio singer. I even think about Mary J. Blige, who has been in the game a long time and will continue to be around for years to come. Beyonce has always made cutesy songs with catchy lyrics. IMO, she is doing herself a disservice by still singing the stupid songs she has been singing since she came on the scene. It’s time to start singing grown-up songs for grown ass women. She’s too old to sing the bubble gum songs, and when i say she’s too old, I’m referring to her real age, not that make believe age to appeal to a younger audience.

loooooooooooooooooove beyonce. love the song.

Beyonce….give it up!

First off makeup your mind….

I would have more respect for you if you did not talk about your relationship with
GAY Z.

This is not a relationship made out of “LOVE” it’s all about IMAGE.

Jay needed POP appeal and Bey needed edge and a good writer.
Jay wrote UPGRADE U don’t get it twisted.

Beyonce you are so FAKE. Trying to justify your relationship all the time.

Like Alicia Keys said….If you wanted to eat you know where there are no photographers….But BEY-Z is always photographed doing everything because they want MEDIA ATTENTION.

They NEED media attention. I’m sure that is part of the CONTRACT.

Bey also looks like the LION from the WIZ on the Cover.

NOT impressed.

Beyonce you can’t buy CLASS.

Beyonce also ICON’s don’t marry drug dealers.

And ICONS don’t write trashy songs like Bootylicious…..LMAO

The best thing about Beyonce is that she knows she is NOT an ICON but the public also knows that.

#20, I agree w/you. There is nothing exciting about babies being born and people not being married. I was raised that it’s nothing to be proud of. I’m still tripping over somewhere I read that Paris’s mom said that she and the family were proud of her! What!!!

No, J-Lo’s career went to a standstill because she married a man that was of her ethnicity. Remember, J-Lo was pushing that I’m a minority, but white enough to pass crap. Beyonce has never done that. She has always been herself, but I must say, I’m not liking the new look. I like it on this cover, but if you look at another post it looks kind of, I don’t know. But, I’m glad to see her back, and I expect great things.

Beyonce rocks my boat!

There is nothing cute about being a single teen aged parent. I am not being judgemental by any means. 73% of African AMerican households are single parent households. This is 2008. Condoms. Birth control. Use it.

But the beeyotch don’t write her own songs!! LOL.. the Oscars shut her down.. Neyo, Des’ree put her on blast for trying to steal credit for just adding harmonies!!

Unless she’s talking about the timeless classics like Bootylicious.. for which she cringes when she hears the word that she helped create by shaking her ass!! SMH

#81, thank you! There is too much birth control out here for people to be getting caught up!

COPIED THIS FROM A POPULAR NON-URBAN BLOG, SOCIALLITELIFE.COM:

MTV is reporting on an interview that Beyonce gave Essence in which the hamhocked beauty finally admits that she is indeed Mrs. Jay-Z.

It turns out that Beyonce is ultra-private because she’s overly impressed with her pop-culture status. Seriously, she feels that she’s up there with private people like Prince and Michael Jackson (?!?). She says that Mr. and Mrs. Hova plot every detail together on what to tell the press.

Beyaki says her day was small and intimate because she’s so damn unselfish. She says that she’s had enough red carpets and premieres that “it’s been my day so many days already.” She didn’t even want an engagement ring.

“People put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material, and it’s just silly to me,” she said.

Well, there ya have it. She’s a married woman. And she’s finally talking about it. Right around the time that her new single is coming out. She should really be heading up our efforts in Iraq.

THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT EVERYONE ISN’T CLUELESS…IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND ALL THIS CANDOR AND TALKING BEYONCE IS DOING IS TO GET YOUR MONEY….SHE COULD CARELESS ABOUT HER FANS, IT’S ALL ABOUT MORE MONEY AND MORE FAME….ANY OTHER DAY, NONE OF THIS INFORMATION WOULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE’S BUSINESS….BUT NOW OF COURSE, SHE NEEDS YOU TO BUY THIS CD, SO OF COURSE, SHE’S WILLING TO FEED YOU MORE LIES…..FAKEST BROAD IN THE INDUSTRY.

BLACK WOMEN:

Quit having illegitimate babies all over the place.

Seriously.

This chick is delusional! Bey’s songs do not change history! That is what Alicia Keys is for sweetheart! You will always be known for having big hips and dropping and rolling on the floor! and stop lying about writing and producing, cause everyone knows that you take credit for other people’s work … I am so sick of this girl lying. her talent is there, but damn change the culture of women Bey? By doing what? This chick is trying so hard to be considered a legend and icon, but real legends do not have to announce that they want to be legends, they become legends by being deserving of it! Get it together sis!

WOW!

#10…hater!

OMG here we go with all this Beyonce vs every chick in the game why do her stans always say idiotic things like Ri Ri better back off she ain’t better then Beyonce or none of these females can touch Beyonce no bodies even trying to compete with her all of these beautiful natural singers are just trying to follow their dreams just like her so chill! To much competition in this world that;s how I know GOD’s coming for sure.

Beyonce looks great her new singles are hot…Paris and the baby good…I guess I’m not to hot on the teen pregnancy thing!!!

[...] out these new flicks of Beyonce in the November issue of Essence magazine, which she covers. The singer opened up about her relationship & marriage to Jay-Z - with details on the private [...]
