MORE BEYONCE IN ESSENCE + DETAILS ON HER WEDDING

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

beyonce_flip1.jpg

Check 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 wedding ceremony and explaining the matching tattoos they have on their fingers….


untitled-1.gif

Beyoncé tells the magazine that the wedding was very small and intimate, because she’s not a “traditional” woman and having it be “her day” wasn’t something she needed. Being a star and walking the red carpet has diminished the need for that over the years. “It’s been my day so many days already,” she told the magazine.

She didn’t want an engagement ring because “people put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material, and it’s just silly to me,” she said.

Instead of just getting wedding rings, the couple also got matching tattoos of the Roman numeral four on their ring fingers, so if they take off the bands for work or to go swimming, a mark of some form is still there. (The number four is special to the couple because her birthday is September 4, his birthday is December 4, and their wedding anniversary is April 4.) SOURCE

BEYONCE IN ESSENCE MAGAZINE - NOV 08 (2) BEYONCE IN ESSENCE MAGAZINE - NOV 08

On maintaining privacy on her and Jay’s relationship:

“I feel that, especially now, with the Internet and paparazzi and camera phones, it’s so difficult to maintain mystery,” she told the magazine. “And that’s so important. Even in a relationship, I feel like not being that accessible is really important. If you think about Prince or Michael Jackson, or any superstars, you couldn’t see them when they got off their planes or when they got out of the pool and didn’t comb their hair. It’s great that people see we’re not perfect. But it’s almost impossible to have superstars now, because people will never get enough. And it’s not even about my music. It’s about all the things that people imagine about me in their minds. But I can’t satisfy everyone. I know that Jay and I probably do inspire people. And I appreciate people feeling proud. But this is the only way I’ve been able to stay sane, so why would I start talking now?

“[Not speaking] controls your brand,” she continued. “It controls what you want to put out there and kind of forces people to talk about what you want them to talk about.” MTV.com

Glad the Bey is back. ANd I feel her on the privacy, you don’t want folks all in ya biz 24/7 and with those 2, I’m sure its non-stop. Hope they grow old together like bill and Camille, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, Barack and Michelle (even though they got a minute before they old)! lol

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 /

she looks awesome! I like the interview also…. With everyone wanting a piece of you in one form or another to uplift or break you down why share anything at all and she is right the internet and camera phones have taken away the mystery of celebs, sometime we see and know too much about them. We can tell that from some of the comments on here…lol.

Beyonce is bright. I like how she’s talking about her marriage (something new) right before her album comes out. I also like her strategy of keeping things private to maintain her brand. Makes a lot of sense.

19.

CreamyPeach

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 /

I agree as well. She actually said something that made me go wow she’s right!
We know so many things about celebs that seeing them on film or to hear their songs you always think of their personal lives and how is it relative to the music or movie role.

It’s scary.

She is really trying to get that album to sell huh? All of a sudden she wanna talk about her wedding,which they already knew about and her tattos,which they denied,how lame,sorry “B” fans…you learn alot about people when they have albums or movies comin’ out..!

I liked the interview. Maybe she didnt have a problem opening up a little bcuz it looked bad that her sister can blab sumthin as small as confirming that the couple is married. But she never could confirm it herself. This was about the best interview that she’s ever done. It sounded intelligently put together and thought out.

23.

ChokLitFactory

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 /

I agree with her comments, but I also agree that she is now only choosing to talk because she has an album coming out, and EVERYBODY knows that if you want to stay an enigma in this day and age, u will not sell records. U have to be personal with the people.

I am so tired of this girl. Now she decides to talk about getting married. If the lines are long enough in the nearest Walmart I’ll read it while I’m awaiting my turn. Her music has no substance at all. I’m not a fan of hers, but in my opinion she getts over by releasing anything because she knows they are going to buy it. She has no originality whatsoever. I thought my girl Alicia’s last album was called “As I Am”. Please go back in the studio.

Okay I was with B this morning but now I have a new prospective, why do celebrities talk about needing and wanting privacy but yet tell people about their private life. Album dropping and all of a sudden you chatty kathy about marrying J-Z, I respected her for not going there this year, but now what you just doing what you have to gain interest in your new album, come on B.

I know the Beyoncites are going to defend this b.s., go ahead, you are only convincing yourself, this is straight P.R. for the album. My point is don’t get mad when they now speculate in 6 months you are getting a divorce because you just feuled this b.s. or see him talking or walking with some chick and now she is his mistress, or some man is now your man on the side (see Brad and Angie for selling their story over and over and parading their adopted and other children).

People who want privacy for real never talk, the media can speculate all they want but eventually people will go on to those idiots who open their mouth in the tell all- be honest- I got a movie or album dropping- interviews.

But before you straight pulling off your earrings and rings and putting on your vaseline and typing your words of hate and support…she doesn’t even need this ish. She should have kept people speculating as long as she didnt own up to it that is all people could do.

It would have remain private, next thing you know her baby is going to be on US weekly, the next baby for sale is Jabd B, we will straight the bidding at 10K can I get 10 K, 20 K 30 K 1 mill, 3 mill, and the winner is…straight b.s.

Now I am back to having no real respect for anything but the music and from what I heard hmm, I may be just a B-day fan.

I’m not a “stan” or a “hater”, but both of these songs are :::really::: mediocre…especially the single ladies one…but it was probably produced in such a way so that it eventually grows on you. I like quite a few Beyonce songs…but these two missed the mark…

This bytch is so full of herself. The only reason she wants to give details about her relationship is because she wants to promote her new CD. Everything she is telling the magazine we knew already. Nobody cares anymore. She is going to kill us and her career with too much overexposure. She believes that everything she touches is going to turn to gold. Not so. Believe that.

If she really and truly wants privacy then why start talking now about the marriage? Just talk about your new music and leave it at that. Sorry I don’t feel her comments are genuine they are just to generate publicity for her CD and new movie. They and her family were so extremely tight lip that now you expect us to believe you really want to share. Please don’t insult our intelligence. All celebrities hold on to personal info they claim they want to keep for themselves but conveniently “open up” when they want us to buy a CD or go see a movie. I agree about privacy and paparazzi boundaries but celebrities need to keep it real as well, if you say you don’t want to talk about something then don’t, just focus on your current project. If your music or movie is good then people will respond. Just a thought…

She is such a contradiction….

First, she didn’t want an engagement ring cause it’s just material, YET, she’s always wearing the loudest, biggest, want to be seen items and clothing imaginable, to the pont of over accessorizing and wearing shoes and boots to garner more attention. Her music is all about her and what she can do and what she got! She’s such a liar…she is not the picture of humility; in fact, this chick can’t get enough attention; she wants to be worshipped.

Then she feels like her and jay’z business is personal, and any other day she wouldn’t talk about it or confirm anything, YET, she’s all in essence now talking and singing like a bird….Of course cause now she wants your attention, so you can buy her cd, but any other day it’s none of our business. So what’s making her give all these details and reasons for shit now?! MONEY!!!!!! She is a money grobbling cut throat fake.

I mean i could go on and on, she is such a contradiction, liar, and a fake.

She didn’t want an engagement ring because “people put too much emphasis on that. It’s just material, and it’s just silly to me,” she said.

YET Beyonce has a 5 Million Dollar Ring which she loves to flash at any given opportunity. LMAO

This girl is so OBVIOUS. Essence is like Ebony Magazine. They just allow these people to rant and talk and go unchallenged. And spew the same generic comments issue after issue. This is why Vogue has rejected her.

“I feel that, especially now, with the Internet and paparazzi and camera phones, it’s so difficult to maintain mystery”

This from the same woman who goes on “vacation” and there are tons pictures taken of her on her private boat that end up sold to photo agencies that they send out. This from the same woman who goes into the pool with full on makeup and a WIG.

“[Not speaking] controls your brand,” she continued. “It controls what you want to put out there and kind of forces people to talk about what you want them to talk about.”

Now this is the most honest comment Bey-Z has made. This “marriage” is all about the BRAND….There is nothing real about it.

This girl is really on some type of medication. She is just out of it if she thinks people do see right through her. And Bey it is not that serious. You are no ICON. Icon’s get the cover of VOGUE not Essence. Stay in your BET 106 and Park Lane no person is really that interested in your vapid life.

NEXT

PS. How dare you compare yourself to Michael Jackson or Prince are you NUTS?????
These lies are totally comical. Bey-Z.
Beyonce is nothing more than a Kimora Lee Simmions copy cat.
Bey just be yourself….but wait..you don’t even know who you are…LMAO

And i’ve been saying this forever about her….everything she does is purposeful…she deliver leak stories, deliberate wear and not wear her ring, in order to keep the attention on her and keep people talking about her…SHE LOVES THE VEIL OF MYSTERY as she basically just said in this interview, and everyone was saying i was wrong. She deliberately dont talk to keep everyone on her ass for information, and some fall for this crap hook, line, and sinker….I’ve always recognized it for just what it is…everything she does is for marketing purposes, to further her along in her quest to become worshipped and constantly admired…deliberate photo ops of supposed candid shots, everything is deliberate, deliberate, deliberate, except that fall when she bust her ass.

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 /

I don’t get what everyone is so rah rah about??? It’s called a marketing strategy folks. Everyone does it. So what if she finally decided to erase the silence. She really hasn’t had that many ‘formal’ interviews since the wedding so if this if the first time that she has decided to come forward - so be it. Besides - we already knew the deal. What if she never admitted to it? Or what if you picked up the magazine for the sake of hoping that she mentioned something about it and she didn’t. Then the comments would be worse…’we don’t understand why she insists on being so mum on the subject, we already know that she and jay are married’. Come on! Leave it alone.

Hi Haters Yes Beyonce is back love the new songs. B my girl and all but gosh 3 posts of her in one day that seems way too much. B gon smash Rihanna. Dang heavy competition Ciara,Beyonce,Kanye,And Britney all competing for the Billboard Charts. Hate to say but I do feel as if Beyonce is rushing her album but I’m definitely will get it when it drops. She needs to step her game up since Rihanna had 2 number one hits this year. But forever B is the queen point blank.

Are you people serious, this is her JOB! If talking about her marriage will make her album sell, then go ahead. The way CD’s have been selling these days, people will do anything to get their albums to sell.
If I Were A Boy will have to grow on me because Im not use to that type of music from her.
Single Ladies is really catchy. Like it or not, you will be hearing it in the clubs and everywhere else.
And yall know just like I know that even the “haters” will be buying her album.

Beyonce is a bad bytch!! See this is why this chick made 82 mill in one year and y’all do right girl is broke…

The songs are great with IIWAB being better the other is typical expected of Beyonce cause that’s what her fans, stans want to hear. She puts music out that is going to sell weather you like it or not.

She’s not putting out what she had on or who married her she is stating the facts concerning her. It was their day and they did it their way. But because she choose this time to tell it it’s a problem if she pleased everyone then there would be a problem so continue to be and do you Beyonce!!!. I saw previews of her videos and they look hot, they come out tomorrow. And I will be waiting to see her perform them live cause it will be hot!!!

I could less about her private life, but her music is good but Certainly not great..or lasting…like Bob Marley or Aretha Franklin

I mean 2 women have written books about Jay-Z, his size, how he washes hisself .how he is in the sack..so I don’t need to know anymore about Jay-Z private habits..

Her music is good but not great
Anyone can sell records look at Britney Spears

Ahhhh, yes. A day in the negrosphere would not be complete without a 300+ comment post about Beyonce.

I like Beyonce because I think she is talented and a hard-worker. Her songs are kitchy and silly, but good for when you’re doing mindless stuff like working out or cleaning your house.

HOWEVER, this woman is also a master manipulator. She has created an image as a solo artist of being all about FEMALE EMPOWERMENT AND MATERIALISM when really she has convinced an entire generation of black women that being selfish, spoiled, arrogrant and dating thugs is the way to go! So while all of you trip over yourselves trying to emulate her, she snatches up a good man and becomes a wife! But all of her minions are single and can’t figure out why - LOL

She is BRILLIANT!

I MEAN SHE HAS SOLD 10X THE AMOUNT OF ALBUMS RIHANNA HAS SOLD, AND IS IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MUSICAL GENRE YET PEOPLE STILL COMPARE THE QUEEN TO THIS CHICK?? PLEASE RIHANNA STANS GET OVER IT!! I’M VERY PROUD OF HER FOR FINALLY TAKING A STEP TO OPEN UP TO HER FANS ABOUT HER LIFE. MAYBE THE REASON SHE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT THE WEDDING BEFORE WAS BECAUSE AT THE TIME SHE WAS NOT IN THE MEDIA OR BEING INTERVIEWED THAT MUCH. PEOPLE ALWAYS OVER- ANALYZING SHIT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MISERABLE WITH HOW THEIR LIVES ARE GOING SO THEY WANT OTHERS TO BE MISERABLE TOO. BEY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL ANY OF US A DAMN THING, BUT SHE OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO BE MORE PERSONABLE WITH HER FANS THIS TIME AROUND WHICH IS WHY SHE IS FINALLY OPENING UP. SHIT, U CAN’T PLEASE EVERYBODY, AND I’M GLAS SHE KNOWS THAT

Beyonce songs has no substance at all and Ciara it’s just over for her, she better hit
the big screen for income. Anyway Beyonce has fans all over the world so she will
always make that dollar even if her stuff sounds like crap, but poor Ci Ci what else can
she do, oh well I guess take it all off in Playboy.

Cosign a 100% this statement post #58 Bored

She’s not putting out what she had on or who married her she is stating the facts concerning her. It was their day and they did it their way. But because she choose this time to tell it it’s a problem if she pleased everyone then there would be a problem so continue to be and do you Beyonce!!!.

——————————————————————————

People kill me, Beyonce sold records b4 not revealing the status of relationship, and she still do it again. So mentioninh her wedding to JZ is not a marketing ploy she always said she will tell her fans when she got married, and this is one of the first real outlets she had to do it in. Jay Z said it best it is not like you don’t know already, geez they just don’t make it a point to mention it in every interview Jay Z in interviews b4 mention Beyonce and vice versa. Yall haters kill me and if u not a hater it shouldn’t upset u for me to use this word, but some of yall are haters and have a real problem u dont like her, she is boring, overrated and etc. yet u still make it point to come in every post abt her to say the same things. And u wondering why u sitting up here typing abt Beyonce, and she doesn’t know u exist, I will never waste my energy of even typing on blog abt somebody who I dont like it and hate. You falling into the trap whether u talk bad or good abt her she still occupying your mind.

She doesn’t ever have to tell me her wedding details. She just needs to make sure that her marriage is okay between the following parties: herself, Jay-Z, and last, but definitely not least, God. I just don’t like the hair. She’s pretty, but I just don’t like this look. I’m glad to see her back.

Its funny that people continue to hate!! Let her do her thing. And people are probably right about the PR thing, but if you are constantly being asked about something which I’m sure she is, you answer. She didn’t go into DETAIL about the wedding or their sex life or anything! Damn let this girl live. Side note from the singles post. I am sick of people comparing her to Rihanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyonce has sold over 100 million records, Rihanna has been in the game 3 mofo years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no competition on vocal ability/dancing/performing, etc. Rihanna stans please fall back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m a beyonce fan, not a stan, but damn people are ridiculous on these sites. She is the only person that I know that gets hated on so much, but yet is sucessful and doesn’t let it effect her swagger. Even with that DC mess back in 00′ she overcame that and kept it moving!!

She is unstoppable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So please fall back. Being a fan, I’ll admit that the singles are not her best, but that was intentional! Those songs are doing what they are suppossed to do. To generate buzz (go look at all the blogs) people can’t stop talking about it good or bad!!

Side note, people said the same thing about Deja Vu and that video!…and b’day sold i think 6 million worldwide!

Huh..you obviously haven’t seen Beyonce fans in real life. When I went to her concert and when I saw her at Macys they had ambulances outside because people were ligit going crazy. Some girl had to be picked up and put in a wheel chair because she couldn’t walk, she just fell over. You would be surprised how people react to Beyonce’s appearance.

Anyways, she’s so cute. How Precious.

yeah, she sold records befrore the marriage thing was out.. but she’s drawing attention to it again BECAUSE her album is coming out.

But those singles are a mess.. It’s ironic that her first single last time was “Deja Vu” and that’s what we’re getting with “Irreplaceable” and “Get me bodied” PART II. “If I were a boy is soooo boring. I guess she think when she screams on the chorus that it show’s emotion?

Yeah, maybe DESPERATION. If you want true emotion see Brandy - Right Here (Departed) or something else..

So let me get this straight when she didn’t say anything ya’ll were complaining saying she was stuck up and acting immature becasue people get married everyday not she says something(nothing too detailed…she didn’t even say how he proposed or who designed her dress…not at all like star jones who is now divorced) and ya’ll still complain oh she only doing this because her album is coming out. Shut the F—- up I mean damn I think she just wanted to enjoy being a newlywed before she had to answer an endless string of endless questions about the topic while promoting her album which she was gonna face sooner or later when she released an album it just so happens it’s on nov 18th…..so stop with the hating.

To all those claiming that big ring is her engagement ring….How can you be so sure? Because your favorite blog saw the pic and ASSUMED (ass) it was her ring…I mean What if it’s not her engagemnet ring? She wears and has worn rings on that hand for years and I am a single ladies waiting for the right man to put a ring on it but I buy my damn self rings all the time and I wear it on that finger… I didn’t know there was a rule that said you can only wear a ring on that finger if you are married! If there is such a rule I’ve broken it since the days of wearing the fake bubblegum machine rings.

Oh my and she is one dumb ass heffa…she talkin’ bout she didn’t want her wedding day to be HER day lol No beyonce, tell it like it is and stop frontig. Jay Z wasn’t going to marry your ass unless you did it HIS WAY> no camera and no proof that it ever went down. He wasn’t having a public spectacle because his ass wanted to lock you down in his house and make you marry privately whether you wanted that or not. Beyonce can pretend like she chose that, but everyone knows CAMEL was running that shit…that’s why no one looked happy going to that penthouse mama tina and matthew looked so sad in those pics because no one would get to see beyonce in her wedding dress. Jay Z controls everything about beyonce. po’ thang! she is one empty ass airhead!

She’s so dumb and doesn’t even realize that while she’s trying to be smart she looks a damn fool.

Snap Judgment: Beyoncé’s ‘If I Were a Boy’ and ‘Single Ladies’
01:36 PM PT, Oct 8 2008

Beyoncé may be a married lady now, but she’s still all caught up in the drama of love’s first glances and final door slams. It’s refreshing that she’s staying in character: When artists such as Mary J. Blige start making music about how happy they are with their chubby hubbies, it may be sincere, but it also serves the function of feeding the tabloids. Beyoncé and her Hova have always kept business and pleasure separate, which imparts dignity to their relationship — and lets her be an artist first, a personality second.

Beyoncé’s emotional reserve also allows for hits that still appeal to her core fan base of independent women. “Irreplaceable” was a masterpiece of that ilk, the finger-wagging summation of mercenary, “Sex and the City”-style post-feminism. That song made Beyoncé pop’s Chairwoman of the Board, as worldly wise and merciless about love as Sinatra was in the wee small hours of the morning.

Her new club banger, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” elaborates on “Irreplaceable’s” theme of love as sport, if not war; sounding a lot like a Destiny’s Child song, it has Beyoncé doing call-and-response with her backup singers over a rump-shaking beat provided by The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. More than most female singers, Beyoncé understands the funky art of singing rhythmically, and this is a prime example.

The song’s message is a tricky one: girlfriend’s just split from her no-good man and is out celebrating with her crew. She’s snaring a new man, but her old one is watching, and the song is directed to him.

“If you like it then you should have put a ring on it,” goes the singsong hook, and eventually, the lyrics reveal that this is what the singer really wants: for her guy to make like a prince and grab her, delivering her to “a destiny, to infinity and beyond.”

That’s corny, and Beyoncé’s not one for cheap sentiment. No matter what the bridge says, it’s that chorus that wins the day, and it is a slap in the face of a man who’s already blown it. Prince Charming is left standing there like the second lead in a romantic comedy, while Beyoncé lets her new guy — and the beat, and those jumping background singers — sweep her off her feet.

“If I Were a Boy” mines a very different mood, and in doing so, elevates Beyoncé’s game even higher. This is her Streisand moment — a tender, fairly simple ballad that Beyoncé uses to prove she’s a great vocal actress.

Co-written by Toby Gad, a longtime ingenue supporter who gave Fergie her Song of the Year with “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” this tearjerker is circular in structure, its unending cadences suggesting that the problem B’s addressing is eternal. This isn’t just another breakup song; it’s an elegy for female empowerment, Beyoncé’s admission that no amount of money, fame or skill can solve the basic inequity between her man’s heart and her own.

The lyric starts out with Beyoncé musing about all she’d do if she could be anatomically and hormonally altered: eschew grooming, embrace booze, dog after every lady in sight. Cute, and at this point a smile underlies her delivery. But then she hits her upper register, and the sorry sneaks in: She’s dreaming that if she were a boy, if a man could have a woman’s sense of empathy, things would be different.

By the second verse, she sounds resigned, ticking off more cruelties that male empowerment allows. “I’d put myself first,” she mutters. But she can’t — she returns to the chorus, and her imploring vision of life as (with?) a “better man.”

Then the script flips. No more dreaming. Addressing her straying lover directly, she says it’s just too late. Her tone is gentle, open: Instead of the snap of “Single Ladies” and “Irreplaceable,” there’s real sadness as she shuts this door.

The last verse is just slightly stagy, with a sneer sneaking in as she sings, “But you’re just a boy.” In the end, Beyoncé can’t resist arching her eyebrow; she’s a survivor, and she won’t let her pain completely unmake her.

But that’s the final, poignant point of this excellent song. In Beyoncé’s world view, an independent woman must sacrifice the princess fantasy she was sold as a child, and keep that steely edge, even when her world is melting around her. The compassion Beyoncé’s vocal conveys as “If I Were a Boy” concludes is as much for the man who can’t fulfill romance’s impossible dream as it is for herself.

Post-feminist independence is usually staged as a comedy — chick lit, “Sex and the City,” “Irreplaceable.” Here, Beyoncé turns it into an adult drama, and lets it bleed. It’s a powerful and complex view of sexual politics from a singer and songwriter who’s truly come into her own.

I hope it hasn’t been posted….if so disregard, the attitudes are not needed

Beyonce’s ‘If I Were a Boy’: What do you think?

Q: Is Beyoncé Knowles ever going to make a musical misstep?

A: Based on “If I Were a Boy,” her new track that debuted on Elvis Duran’s Z100 show this morning (check out the high-quality version below, or an embedded YouTube version after the jump), I’d say it doesn’t look likely. Indeed, the initial release from B’s upcoming third solo disc is an exciting departure from her previous lead singles, the Southern-fried funk of “Déjà Vu” (from 2006’s B’day) and the (greatest single of all time) jubilant horn-infused “Crazy in Love” (from 2003’s Dangerously in Love).

In the past, I’ve often translated the term “Beyoncé ballad” to mean “album filler,” yet “If I Were a Boy” is anything but. The contemplative lyrics find Beyoncé envisioning herself in the role of her do-wrong guy — I’d put myself first/ And make the rules as I go/ ‘Cause I know that she’d be faithful/ Waitin’ for me to come home — and her searing vocal is absolutely up to the challenge. “If I Were a Boy” sounds totally fresh, not like anything else on the radio right now, and should put Ms. Knowles right back in her throne as Queen of Top 40 Radio. (Rihanna, Pink, and Katy Perry, I hope you ladies had fun in B’s absence.)

I feel like Beyonce is definitely about image and I also feel like her former bandmates of Destiny Child did not get a fair deal, because of Beyonce;s over bearing father-Matthew! I also feel like Farrah was a threat to Beyonce’s career because she too is light-skinned and equally if not more attractive than Beyone.

I think Beyonce is a talented, gorgeous woman however I think she’s very overrated.

Beyonce can never win with you people. I mean, if she were to help gain independence for a nation like Mahatma Gandhi or something, the haters would STILL have something to cry about. You are disgracing yourselves and us as a community with all this pent up anger and bitterness. Please, we are no longer in the days of slavery, but you all certainly make it look like that, the way you can down a FELLOW BLACK WOMAN like this. I hope your parents don’t read these comments, I’m sure they would be deeply ashamed.

It is 2008—it still feels like 1960, when reading these disgusting comments about a good natured, hard working, law abiding citizen. Is it any surprise that we’re still the most divided and self-hating community in this country?? I am tired of this “angry black woman” nonsense. Grow up and get a life. Beyonce owes NOTHING to you egotistical pricks. If Beyonce farted, you haters would have something to discuss. Tell me—are your lives THAT lame you have to find any little excuse just to discuss her? Stop reading into what she says, it’s not that serious. We could probably learn a lot from her about MARRIAGE and the prospect of having children IN WEDLOCK and not out of it, like so many families in our community.

The haters are the TRUE STANS of this world. Were it not for Beyonce, their wasted existences on this planet would have no meaning, whatsoever. They obsess over every little movement of her life, like she’s a laboratory experiment. You’re the ones giving her all this drive. Maybe if you IGNORED her, she might not be so much of a threat to you people. Then again, ignoring Beyonce is virtually impossible for you dimwitted retards.

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

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.

JUST POSTED THIS TO SAY ALL OF THE WORLD ISN’T AS CLUELESS AS SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO FREQUENT URBAN BLOGS….IT IS WHAT IT IS, AND BEYONCE IS A LIAR AND A FAKE AND USES THINGS TO HER ADVANTAGE…IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE A WORD THAT COMES FROM HER MOUTH. IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY TO HER..CATCH A CLUE, SHE CARES NOTHING ABOUT HER FANS, IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY. EVERYTHING IS PLANNED.

I never could stand Beyonce. Her new album will sell ONLY because she’s Beyonce. The two new songs are straight up horrible. I have liked no more than two songs, and I believe both were off of her debut solo album. Her music has always been wack to me. Beyonce made better music when she was apart of DC. Her solo career is a joke, and since she’s so blatantly unoriginal, I’m still not sure if I would consider her a real artist. She doesn’t have an original bone in her body. I’m not saying that the artists I listen to are brilliantly original, but it’s like every SINGLE thing Beyonce does in unoriginal. It’s rather disgusting.

I also agree with the others. Bey was stuck on keeping her relationship with Jay-Z, even before they were married a secret. Now that she has an album coming out, all of a sudden she wants to talk about her marriage??? Wtf???? This is the same person who wouldn’t say a word about her relationship with Mr. Carter.

I’ve always said that Bey is one of the biggest phonies out there. I’ve just never really said it out loud.

Well, her wack ass mateiral will sell regardless. Bey better enjoy the limelight while she can, because the “Circus” is coming to town on December 2nd. Lets see if she can hold her own against Britney.

i mean everyone else did. Get out her ass dang…ya’ll so pissed off that she didn’t say anything around the time it happened, and she chooses now to say it. man were ya’ll THAT hung up over it? Ya’ll were seriously THAT pissed off that she didn’t CONFIRM (NOT LIE, BUT CONFIRM) that she was married. dang she can’t keep that to herself, between her and her husband for a few months?

man that shows how far up her ass ya’lls heads are.

I ain’t even a stan either
I think she a great performer, and great singer…but her new singles are tugging on me. I don’t think she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread…but apparently she is to ya’ll, since ya’ll get soooo pissed off cuz of some info she chose to keep to herself/not confirm for a few months. You must care about some a whole lot to be that angry lol.

So yeah they are doing Bey a huge favor lol, and funny thing is..she spelled that out in the interview…controlling what people talk about..yes she is on her business woman grind right now.

So to all ya’ll that wrote a paragraph about her, saying how dumb and stupid she is….lol…you a damn fool..an idiot if you will. But hey it’s your opinion lol, and I ain’t knockin that.

But my thing is…if you don’t like a person…and if you don’t care about them….WHY please tell me…WHYYYYYYYY do you spend so much of your God given time to TALK about them and give them YOUR personal attention??? lol…sounds like a dumbass move to me.

COME ON…BE HONEST, THIS IS STUFF SHE COULD HAVE SAID WHEN THEY FIRST GOT MARRIED AND EVERY NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINE JUST WANTED CONFIRMATION! IT WAS SO TOP SECRET AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN (NEW ALBUM) SHE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT….WHATEVER BEYONCE! PLUS SHE’S SO FULL OF HERSELF….IT’S BEEN “HER DAY” SO MANY TIMES WHEN SHE WALKS THE RED CARPET…WTF! IF THESE SONGS DON’T TAKE OFF THEIR EXPECTING THEM TO, THEN NEXT WE’LL GET VIDEO FOOTAGE AND PICTURES FROM THIS “INTIMATE” WEDDING! LOL

but even if she pleaded the fifth ya’ll would still be up her weave. give her the pass for at least confirming the nuptials. it ain’t like she spilled any details on the cake-eatin, champagne-poppin biz. now if she were release any photos from the wedding, that would mosdef be a dif story. but in this case, angry b!tches go to hell!!

and haters paleeeeeeeeeeeeeeazzze lay off that rihanna bs. if anythin rihanna jacked fefe and kelis’ steez. the Queen stays fly courtesy of sean carter’s money from pimpin miss fivehead. Bey ain’t messin with little girls, trust! competition was none the reason these birds stayed on the radar.

Wow @ the comments in this post. You people are CRAZY. You were the first ones to compalin when Beyonce didn’t reveal anything about the wedding and now that she does you are mad?? What do you want from this woman? You talk bad about her yet you know all of her music when it was released and if she even talked about her marriage or not. It’s crazy how you always talk about her stans but yall are the main ones commenting and blowing up the posts. At least the fans have a reason to be in here. Whether you choose to realize this or not..you have a CHOICE to be in this post..you have a CHOICE to listen to Beyonce’s music..you have a CHOICE to read excerpts from a magazine where she talks about her marriage. If you can’t stand her WHY ARE YOU READING THIS STUFF…It’s because you don’t hate her, you really are a big fan and fuel her fire. A fan is a person who follows an artists work..amongst other things. Yall definitely fit this.

Also #112….Nichole you are absolutely ridiculous. You go on to dog Beyonce and say she’s not original..then you talk about non singing Britney Spears at the end of your post. ahahahaha. On Womanizer Britney was not singing a lick plus she had something messing with her vocals, yet you discredit a REAL singer..who can DANCE and sing on a level much higher than Britney. You acutally talked about Beyonce not being original and named Britney someone who is a fucked up mother…has been on drugs, with a mental issue, jacked up stage performances as of late, someone who did a spread as Marilyn Monroe (not original), and whose recent songs use all the same recycled producers everyone does…yet her voice is much worse?? Are you serious. This is a pure example of people going insane and having selective memory when it comes to Beyonce. GTFOH with that mess.

I HAVE NEVER PURCHASED A BEYONCE ALBUM AND NEVER WILL. BEYONCE IS OKAY. HER JOB IS TO “ENTERTAIN” AND MAKE A DOLLAR. I ENJOY ARTIST SUCH AS ARETHA, JILL AND INDIA. ARTIST LIKE THESE LADIES WILL NEVER BE HEAVY HITTERS IN THE GAME ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS RAN. WE WILL NEVER EVER HAVE TRUE TALENT. PEOPLE WHO PURCHASE BEYONCE ALBUMS ARE YOUNG, WHO GREW UP WATCHING A LOT OF VIDEOS AND HAVE ADD BECAUSE OF IT. IMAGE OVER TALENT IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN SOLD AND UNFORTUNATELY THE POOR SOULS DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. BEYONCE’S MUSIC IS NOT ART, AND I AM FORSURE IF BEYONCE READ MY COMMENT SHE WOULD DISAGREE (EGO). BUT I COULD SHUT HER UP QUICKLY BY MENTIONING THE LIKES OF….JOHN COLTRANE, ARETHA FRANKLIN, JACK COSTANZO, MARVIN GAYE, SARAH VAUGHN, THELONIOUS MONK, DONNY HATHAWAY AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON OF TALENTED GIFTED ARTIST. SHE HAS A NICE BODY, GREAT WEAVE, WEARS EXPENSIVE CLOTHES AND JEWELRY, CAN BE AIRBRUSHED NICELY, BUT HONESTLY……THAT’S IT. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC OF SOME OF THE ARTIST MENTIONED ABOVE AND DON’T CATAGORIZE THE MUSIC (JAZZ, R&B, SALSA) JUST FOCUS ON TALENT. YOU WILL HAVE A SERIOUS DEER IN THE HEADLIGHT LOOK ON YOUR FACE AFTER YOU FINALLY REALIZE THAT SHE IS NOT GENERATING ART, JUST GARBAGE.

Her face looks flawless in these photos.

Not really feeling her hair and I hope she doesn’t go over to this whole dark theme also. I’m growing very tired of the dark edge looks and it’s been done so many times. Stay bright in colors B.

I’m dissappointed in those singles, but I’m still waiting to see what the rest of the album is about. I hope those songs really don’t represent it because they are much more weak than crazy in love and deja vu which were great for her other albums.

I applaud her for keeping their marriage private and speaking few words. I think that’s what keeps them together, not having everyone in their business.

Calling all STANS, you have to ask yourself, why is she leaking her “private” life now? She got married some time ago….who cares now, really who cares?

She’s promoting and marketing her butt off again for her new movies and CD. The stans and fantactics will come on here faithfully to defend her making statements like, “If you dont like her, dont comment” or you’re a hater, jealous, etc., etc. She could care less about you and your babble- she’s checking for YOUR MONEY.

Here’s the facts, she overexposed and she does not care about entertaining people for the love of music. It’s totally all about the money and praise. So expect SCANDAL, like she’s cheating or JayZ is cheating (like that’s something new for him), more vacation photos, and her singing like a bird about her “very personal and private life”.

She knows she’s losing a grip in the industry so she’s gonna do a lot of different stunts to grab people’s attention. Just watch and see. It’s a shame people are tricked into her money game each time. The economy is bad folks, spend your money on people who really matter- you and your families.

That’s funny, cuz it’s the HATERS making her more famous. I bet all these hypocrites who bash her will be the first ones to go out and purchase her new album. It doesn’t take rocket scientist to figure that out. How did they know so much about how B’Day sounded? Why did they bother listening to her new songs yesterday? I mean I aint a Rihanna fan, and I didn’t even download her last album, much less purchase the CD.

Haters have no purpose in life…Beyonce is their only real conversation. The fact u spiteful, angry and jealous women make all these comments only reveals what emty, dull lives you live. I feel sorry for you pitiful creatures, craving so much attention so u take it upon yourselves to criticize another black person. Self-hatred at its finest. No other race of women do this shit like us. The Latino women don’t hate on J.Lo like this, white women don’t even hate on Britney or Madonna this much. They might talk some mess, but at least they don’t let their celebrities dictate their lives. No wonder African Americans are in a complete rut, never wanna get out of the ghetto, and live vicariously through some boneheaded rappers.

Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

Thursday, October 9, 2008 /

…I guess (@ her reasons for being so exclusive). It just gets kind of annoying, and I absolutely agree with whoever said that they are elitist. It just makes me not like either of them as much. A celebrity to me is more than just music or acting or whatever their craft is. I think it’s unreasonable for her to expect people just think about her “talent.” Personally I don’t care for it. I appreciate artists like Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys who make real music and allow you to feel them. Beyonce’s music is clearly not real when she’s married and still making songs about “single ladies” or whatever. I just feel like she markets herself as a product, not a person. And if that’s what pays her bills, more power to her. But don’t expect me to be at a Beyonce concert or function. To me, she’s just not real.

On another note, she looks impeccable in those pictures; as always.

@158 - I can’t relate to what you are saying because; a. I very much so have a life and b. I’m not African American

Like I’ve said before, I come on here for the sheer fun of it all. I throw jabs and punches sometimes to see what response I get. I see I caught your attention. What I’ve done is no different than a celeb- catch people’s attention. Thanks for being my stan for a moment in time (using my quotes and stuff- got me blushing over here).

P.S. I have nothing against Bey but I really wont be buying her CD. I’m into grown, meaningful music like Ledisi, Mary J, etc. It’s just that her PR tactics are hilarious, but they work- people fall for it everytime. So she continues to laugh her way to the Bank…..I’m not mad at her.

………Again…can someone define for me what a ‘REAL ” artist is.

………are about love?? Cuz she use to where her hair in braids????

…..Lets see…Mary J. Becuz she admits to using drugs in the past? Cuz alll of songs
……….were about pain, and being hurt?

…….When I go to a Beyonce concert, THATS WHAT I CALL REAL. Someone who
…….REALLLY puts her all into her craft. Someone who performs every night
…….as if it’s her last.

……..I get so passionate about Beyonce becuz she is young, black, and the hardest
…….workin person in the bizz. She works sooo hard, and Im so glad she gets all the
……..recognition, awards, and praise that a REAL artist deserves.

I just read your quote. Excellent. In a few words you said it- you can feel Mary J and Alicia ’s music (Jill Scott and N’dami too). In my opinion, Bey is the total package, but her image and music is so contrived that the final product comes off fake- lacking real substance.

Yet you’re still interested enough to type a comment about her? Interesting.

Again, why do many people who claim not to be a Bey fan have a wealth of knowledge about her previous albums?? :? Yeah, you really convince us that you do not care about her…and u nevertheless do yourself the dissatisfcation of taking the time out to listen to her music.

Ignore her if you’re not a fan. You don’t HAVE to like her, nobody is saying that, but why do you attack her for what she looks like, or what she says?? I like Beyonce, but I am FULLY AWARE that she isn’t well-spoken, and comes off as a clutz in her interviews. I don’t, therefore, read too much into what she says. Last year, when the black community broke out into World War 3 (LOL!) after the “Latina revelations” by Bey, I just laughed to myself, knowing how simple minded folks would overreact about that (I worked it out, without even thinking-Bey is not well spoken, hence she just messed up her lines again and intended to merely compliment Latino culture, DUH!).

I dunno about Beyonce..i pretty much agree with what everyone is saying about how she NOW chooses to speak on her relationship because of her upcoming album..but i also applaud her for being such a private person. Thats how you keep yourself out of the tabloids. I like her as an artist but she seems dull to me. Not saying that she has to be all out in the world, but she doesnt appear to be an exciting or personable person (in my opinion). The pictures are OKAY..nothing to gawk at (Ive seen much better photos of her) and I actually like IF I WERE A BOY..i heard it on my way to classes and I fell in love with her for 3 minutes..no homo..

You can tell she takes lessons from UGH-Z. ““[Not speaking] controls your brand,” she continued. “It controls what you want to put out there and kind of forces people to talk about what you want them to talk about.” That comment came directly from the Camel.

What do you want her to do? Everyone knows that she is married, she knew ppl will ask questions about it, why hide it now? Its not like she is selling her wedding pix or something, she is growin if you still didnt notice, if she really wanted publicity, she would sell her wedding pix and video, dont you think? at this point of her career, seriously, no more need to hide she is a grown woman now, you act like she is describing the honeymoon damn, she is still private as hell for a celebrity.

I heard both of Beyonce’s song,and she’s going to have to do better. They are horrible. You all will support anything Beyonce put out. Her songs are targeting 21 years old and younger. It’s no way a grown woman could get into anyone of those songs. Now, her first cd was on point. That was and will always be her best project. I could relate to me myself and i and many more. Beyonce has fallen off a whole lot. It seems to me that every artists could put out bad songs except for Beyonce when we know they aren’t good. If she puts out a bad song and people comment on them, people are hating on Beyonce. Come on. This time Beyonce has put out two bad songs and her die hard fans knows neither songs have nothing different or creative to them. BORING!!!!!!!

So let me get this straight because she got on black now she wants to or is trying to be Rihanna. I could pull up 1000 pictures and videos from her past where she wore black and Rihanna wasn’t even thought about then. I have nothing against Rihanna but please we all know everything she is doing or will do has been done so many times before. Bey is promoting her album so she is entitled to do whatever she needs to just like any other artist who is promoting an album. Also these are some of her first interviews since being married so when else would she have talked about her marriage. And i’m so tired of folks saying they tired of her yet they keep flocking to her every post. Go to your favorite artist post who you not tired of and blog on them how about that. #173 you a simple @ss person and the true definition of a HATER and concreteloop need to ban you and others on here like you who come on every post with stupidity.

Sure. That sounds so original coming from our Black material girl. Can we see the contradiction here? You think the idea of a diamond ring is material and silly yet:

-You sing about material things in many of your songs. Upgrade you video with Rolls Royce, furs and diamonds in your mouth.
- You said rings are silly, but you sing that if you love her you would have put a ring on it. OK, whatever.

…………….. Like her, you should commit to her, I mean seriously. Come the fukk on.

……………..And Upgrade U….in the video she was going for a theme. But still

Well I have a subscription to Essence which I won’t renew. It will be interesting to see how much insight she gives us into her artistry.

I think she is correct about the too much empahsis on ENGAGEMENT rings etc…However, I think the TATTOO finger thing is “tacky” regardless what it means to them. (didn’t Pamela Anderson do the same thing and a few other Celebs)…tacky, but good for her, she has plenty of money…& if it comes to her ever wanting it removed for any reason at all she can always have that done right LOL!!

she looks great in the photos.

She is the pure definition of a woman that exudes confidence HUMBLY. She could really talk a lot of sh*t (and I wish she would tell the haters to kiss her arse!) and she doesn’t. She has the talent to back up whatever sh*t she’d like to talk - just like the article says - she doesn’t have to let us in her personal life because she’s talented enough that it’s ’nuff said.

Get ‘em Bey!!!
