MUSIC NEWS: BEYONCE RESPONDS TO ALBUM DELAY RUMORS / T.I. TO TOP CHARTS WITH PAPER TRAIL / MORE PICS FROM CIARA’S VIDEO

Seems like there was speculation on whether or not Beyonce was going to make the deadline of November 18th for the release of her album, which we’re still waiting on a title for. Rumors swarmed that due to Beyonce to films, that the album was going to be pushed back.

At first, this didn’t seem far-fetched, for the simple fact that she pushed back the impact dates for her two singles, “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies,” because of former bandmate Michelle Williams’ Unexpected album release. So, to stop rumors, Beyonce released an official statement via Columbia Records.

“I wanted to address my fans about my upcoming album.

I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old.

I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.

Love,
Beyoncé”

I guess she told us…


In any event, I think that fans are eager to hear this “new sound” that Beyonce has created for this album. Also, with the singles expected to hit radio soon, they should be leaking any day now. But then again, a lot of blogs have been predicting that over the past couple of weeks.

T.I. TO TOP CHARTS WITH PAPER TRAIL

(Click the photo to check out T.I. on the cover of Giant Magazine)

Rap sensation T.I. is expected to do excellent numbers for this sixth album, Paper Trail, which hits stores this Tuesday. He is expected to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts, moving 550,000 units, according to HitsDailyDouble.com.

“Whatever You Like” is still #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and his new single “Live Your Life,” featuring Rihanna has already claimed the top spot on iTunes. T.I. will shoot the video for his collaboration with pop princess Rihanna this weekend in Los Angeles.

Jennifer Hudson, who also released this Tuesday is expected to debut on the chart at #2, with a very respectable 215-225,000, while Robin Thicke’s third album Something Else is looking like it will sell 150,000 copies, taking the #3 spot.

MORE PICS FROM CIARA’S VIDEO

CIARA ON THE SET OF HER NEW VIDEO (1)

More photos from Ciara’s new video for her single, “Go Girl” (featuring T-Pain) from her forthcoming album, Fantasy Ride have surface. As much as I dislike the choice in single, I am eager to see what Ciara is doing with this video because the photos are extremely intriguing… and I’ve pretty much loved everything director Melina has put out.

She is definitely looking amazing! Even though I thought we were over the bob craze, Ciara looks great. Hopefully, the video will make me like the song more and rekindle my interest in the album, because I really want to like Ciara this era.

    Beyonce shut the fuck up! You said the same type of bullshit about Bday! Your CD is not that major to be making these stupid announcements! Whore we are in a recession fuck that CD if your not giving it away for free! Go vote and shut the hell up!

  11. Chris

    To BEYONCE: YAWN!!!!!!

    Public Enemy said it BEST….”Don’t Believe the HYPE”
    I”I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life”
    What’s the title of the first Song?….”If I were a Boy” or some ish???

    PLEASE!!!!!!

    Beyonce and her Team are trying to Create DRAMA and it’s not working.
    “I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me.”
    I’m sure “the new side of” Beyonce will include hoochie shorts, a blonde wig, and backup dancers……BORING!!!!

    I”I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all.”
    And you too can find out for a mere 19.95….LMAO

    This girl is a FAKE as they come and this new CD will flop harder than Ruben Studdard’s last CD.

    I’m so tired of this Chick. She needs to BEAT it.

    Beyonce you are no ICON and I’m glad you know it.
    NEXT!!

  12. Souley

    LOVE IT!!!! Now those haters can’t say that Queen Bee can’t speak for herself;)
    I don’t see an excerpt from Papa Knowles there HATAS!!!!!!!!!

  13. OBAMA '08

    I can’t wait to hear what Beyonce is coming out with next. No matter what anyone says, I absolutely love her music. Go T.I., knew his album would do good. Wow @ Ciara doing the split on the chair! Go girl!

  14. Smile4me

  20. Truth?

    Well “first person” I will buy her album

  21. OB4PRES

    So I guess she taking longer than she did with B’Day which she claims she wrote in 3 wks I don’t believe anything out her mouth. Because earlier this year she was like I’m not coming out with a CD to this cd is going to be that techno sound. I mean do ya’ll remember that so called announcement earlier this summer.

  22. Chris

    I I also BET you a million bucks that Matthew Knowles is the one who put out this bogus info about the CD being “late” as IF people are waiting to buy that JUNK.

    I have really never read a more wooden note. Beyonce’s record label publicist wrote that Hype Groupie Letter…..LMAO

    I love it. And I’m sure that the House or Dereon is also going to launch a new line of Hooker shorts with matching boots to be filled in your nearest Virgin Mega Store to go along with the new CD…as well as a new DVD of all the Videos because you know Beyonce works so HARD….LMAO

  23. Dezmar tyson

    I LOVE YOU BEY!!! tell them haters to slow it down!!! anybody who got something bad to say about bey is a HATER!!!!!! she can sing her tail off, shes beautiful, black, and powerful, living a life most of us can only dream of….STOP HATING YOU HATERS!!!!!

  24. buffyuna

    Thankyou angel for being honest about cici without bein a hater like other people we know…..

    Anyway I was not to happy with go girl at first, but the song has definetly grown on me. While I still would prefer High price, Go girl is becoming my song. I love the superhero synths in it, and its a nice song to pop to lol. Anyway the video will definetly make me even more of a believer in the song so I cant wait for it to drop!

  25. G

    I can’t wait for the new Bey album. Should be hot!

  26. Lola AM

    I love the black lipstick and checkered nails. I hate the song

  27. Truthfully Speaking

  28. beyonce actually said the exact opposite about her “b’day” project. she said she recorded this over the span of a year. “b’day?” definitely 2 weeks.

    Ciara, HELLS YEAH!!!!!!!!, lol. THAT’S MY GIRL, GO GURL!!!!, lol. She always bring it no lie. Artistically she’s always on another level, and she always works her talents to the best of her abilities, and I love her for that, can’t wait to pick up “Fantasy Ride” December 9th!

  34. Stephanie

    That’s the Ciara i know killing it….i can already tell that Melina/Ciara got a really good concept for this video!!!!

  35. WHOOP! WHOOP! Go BEY! Go BEY! Yes, I’m so motha effin excited for Beyonce, I’m ligit shaking. I’ve been striving for some entertainment and here the master of it all is. She’s back BITCHES!! BTW: I’m sure the same one’s who ‘claim’ to be tired of her are the ones STILL rocking they asses to Get Me Bodied in them clubs because they still play that ancient song likes it’s the flyest thing since American Airlines.

    Chris..JUST LEAVE!! We all know you are one of those haters that stan over Beyonce. Get over yourself already! She’s is back and your little ass speculating-her-every-move comments are so childish. You claim you dislike her yet you talk about her like she was apart of some novel you just read. Nobody gives a shit what you have to say because it is all BEYONCE IS THIS….BEYONCE IS THAT….BEYONCE AINT RIHANNA(and never was that whack..lol)….BEYONCE HAS NO TALENT…..blahs and blahs. I swear you fight sleeping just thinking of new ways to to speak negatively about Queen Bey. Relax, and go listent to your Princess Rihanna, but warning, DO NOT put it on full blast, your ears are a powerful tool.

  36. Chris

    Ciara…….Now that is an ARTIST.

  37. @22..

    STFU!! Beyonce is NOT and artist but Ms. Let-Me-pose-naked-so-I-can-be-considered-apart-of-this-game-again, is an artist. Take a nap my dare, your brain is shutting down.

  38. YoYo

    I remember when anything about B would generate at least 300 comments. My how times have changed………..

  39. danielle

    For the dick rider who said I was jealous………………….you may be right…….but if you are a Beyonce fan I doubt it! Baf of rockhead hoes! Step your investment game up or get washed away in this recession…you and your BDay2 CD. Hope the mofo help you stay afloat! Now go away! And don’t forget to vote for Obama..you just might not be that dumb after all!

  40. HOTMOMMA001

    I’m just gonna cut right to it! Bey is HOT and all this talk is just publicity to boost sells. NO matter who the artist is, sales for noone is just that awesome as the days of old. So, she’ll sell regardless because she has cross over appeal.

    Ciara on the other hand…..not so much. However, I still say, Ciara can hold her own in the live performance realm. She can’t sing live but the girl can ENTERTAIN! I tell ya, that split on the chair is SICK! I applaud CI-CI! Not many can pull some of those things off she does! (Although my 9 year old can also do that split on the chair….heeheehee….just saying! LOL)

    GO TI! You are DA MAN! Likin the positive image potna! Kiss Kiss

  41. Chris..JUST LEAVE!! We all know you are one of those haters that stan over Beyonce. Get over yourself already! She’s is back and your little ass speculating-her-every-move comments are so childish. You claim you dislike her yet you talk about her like she was apart of some novel you just read.

Thank god cause I cant take no more half ass performers that put no effort in their work.

    ……Oh and Im LOVING that Ri-ri/T.I. song. Its destined to go to #1

  53. dee dee

    I’ll bet that Beyonce’s “new sound” will sound just like her old one. But I’m looking forward to hearing it. Michelle and Kelly again – NEED NEW MANAGEMENT.

  54. buffyuna

    oh and I almost forgot my girl beyonce! I know her album is gonna be fire cause with all those songs to choose from, how can she do wrong. Anyway I just want to ask that all Beyonce and Ciara stans play nice. Some of us are fans of both and it gets on our nerves when u guys try to pit them against eachother. Now I know this aint a fansite, but I just thought I’d ask.

  55. Keith

    Congrats to T.I. I’m really happy for him. I love what he’s been putting out.

    I do wonder what Beyonce’s album will sound like. I like her, but she’s not my favorite singer.

  56. Smile4me

    I agree Buffyuna^^^^
    I love both women, they also perform and give their all, they never disappoint. So i will continue to support them. Its so crazy to go back and forth about artist anyways.. Just support who you love, no need to bash others. Their is room for them all. I think its great, young successful black females… Can’t wait ladies.

  57. kaykay

    ha ha, THANK YOU Bri for correcting fools on B’day being wrapped in 2 weeks. I cannot WAIT till her next CD comes out-BEYONCE is that b*tch!! Haven’t loved any CiCi tunes in a minute but I know her video will be the bomb cuz they all are-I don’t love Melenia at all-the B’day vids were so rushed though so i guess I shouldn’t blame her for them all looking like they were done in 2 days on 2 sets. Yay for T.I.!!! I haven’t liked any of his singles yet so I haven’t bought it but I’m glad for my boo…is Jeezy’s still selling? I love The Recession :)

  58. Rihanna fans sweatin' bullets now that Bey is off of lunch break.

    Why are people acting like they’re afraid to say they like Beyonce? Like Keith “I like her, but she’s not my favorite singer”….WTF? Okay, nobody said shit about favorites, you just don’t want them Rihanna fans prancing you down like Native-Americans around a fire. Please, I love, adore, admire, Beyonce and I am not afraid to say it. I still think she has the game on lock even though she hasn’t been doing shit for how many months, that’s why she always has the most comments on a Croncreteloop page at some point. I guess she runs CL too. Beyonce doesn’t give a shit if you hate her or love her as long as you talk, comment about her she’s perfectly fine. So you go gurl! Ain’t no need to worry now, when you start losing haters thats the time to be concerned.

  59. Rihanna fans sweatin' bullets now that Bey is off of lunch break.

    And we ALL know that in some point in our lives, we got on that dance floor and danced to Get Me Bodied. Don’t try to act like you didn’t, we all have. Or shook are asses to Crazy In Love. We ALL have. I know y’all Beyonce haters start humming Deja Vu in ya heads at home, in the car, even at work. I mean, let’s be real, something about Beyonce is addicting point BLANK! I never liked her but then I just paused and really looked at myself and notice that I EFFIN LOVE BEYONCE!! It was a huge turning point in my life..lol..I can’t believe I didn’t notice. Once you’ve become a real Beyonce fan there is no turning back, ever.
