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

Thursday, October 2, 2008

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.

*******Looking forward to the new sound of Beyonce’s and the album. Whether you *******like or not, can’t deny her impact on music scene.

*******That “Live You Life” has been in constant rotation since I got it off line earlier *******prior the album release. T.I. and Rihanna sound good together. I’m copping
*******that album today.

*******That “Go Girl” was kind of a disppointing choice for lead single to me at first as *******well, but it has definitley grown on me. I’m really feeling it now. The video is *******definitely gonna take it to anotha level. Ciara be killing these chicks when it *******comes to performing, the split in the chair is sick!!

Beyonce is not the problem. It is her immature idol worshipping over zealous fans that are the problem. What is the age group on this board?

…get the &^%%*() in!

YES, YES, YES…. There is no one or nothing out there that can do what this woman does every time she comes out. From sold out tours to records sold - she has solidified herself as THE “act and soundtrack of OUR generation”. Hands down.

This woman performs with every element intact. Singing, dancing, and overall essence in full effect and NO ONE has given us that since Tina Turner (who apparently thinks that Beyonce is the 2nd coming of herself). As far as re-inventing her look and such… if you haven’t noticed (for those of you who have eyes) she’s very much so taken on a more elegant and classy role since the promo and release of “B’DAY”… during that era she very much so gave “glam socialite IT girl” rocking laced gloves and messy bouffants, with form fitting Herve Leger dresses and stacked Louboutins with every accessory in the book! Not so much this time around. Chanel and Roland Meret (two highly esteemed fashion houses) has become her choice of rags these days. Paired with neat and elegant buns or wind swept tresses… ugh. Jackie-O appeal all day - ICONIC.

This girl knows. And she is very much so on the road to conquer.

This next album is sure to solidify her as the ICON that she is….

And all the blab about her being this and being that will but covered in the shade that it is.

Keep knocking Bey… I am here every step.

BTW - Ciara looks amazing.

-iCONic!

I am sick and tired of Beyonce. She is so boring and predictable. I can’t believe people are still using that hater word! That’s so old. Whether you people like it or not, not everyone is going to like an artist. Why call someone out for their comment? Just say you don’t agree. I believe this will be Beyonce’s last successful album and it aint even going to sell no where near her B’Day album, which is sad because B’day sold 4 million less than Dangerously In Love.

Ciara, I have to admit that she finally stepped up her image, but I see Janet Jackson written all over her. This whole futuristic Japanese inspiried look is so Janet. The only reason why her face looks fierce is because she has all of that damn dark makeup on and the wig. It’s weird how this video looks extremely expensive, but the song is so low. Aint nobody feelin those kind of songs anymore. I believe she will end up like how Chris Brown did on Wall to Wall. Expensive video filled with graphics but wack ass song that is too “urban.”

….@ 155
. Are you serious????? I mean I like Cici as much as the next man. She can
dance like a girl from da hood, but can’t hold a note to save her life. Now I’m
a Beyonce fan, and I think she is so so so so talented, but she’s been in the
game for over 10 years. And how dare you think she is more talented than
janet. Now neither one of em can sing, but Janet will dance circles around Cici.

You had tried that.

I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create JANET JACKSON sound. Something that says I am JANET JACKSON at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into BECOMING JANET JACKSON.. It is MY JANET JACKSON BABY!

I have recorded over 70 songs (I stole FROM DC songs) and have created a sound that reveals all of KELLY Williams Voice, ThANKS’s to the singles from Nelly revealing The Truth). I am in a different place right now (Janet Jackson interview for “All For You). The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side (The Velvet Rope). I have taken risks here (Janet Jaakson RiskS. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all (I WANT TO BE JANET JACKSON). There is no label or tag on my sound (JANET JACKSON FREE FROM SO SO DEF). It’s me and I am so excited (JANET JACKSON 20 Y.0) to share it with the world on (A DAY TO BECOME JANET JACKSON).

Love,
Beyoncé” PLEASE , I WANT TO BE JANET JACKSON!

BEYONCE IN NO WAY NEED TO WANT TO BE JANET. JANET CANT EVEN SING SHE WHISPERS…..BEY IS A TRIPLE THREAT. JANET IS FROM A FAMOUS FAMILY AND IS SO INSECURE ABOUT HER PRSON SHE NEEDS TO HAVE SURGERY EVERY FIVE MINUTES.

Bey is a boss in the entertainment game. You can hate it or love it, but what she is to the industry is undeniable. I am not a fanatic, but I do like her and have seen her live. She is a hell of an entertainer. Her statement got my attention and I am looking forward to hearing her “sound”. I am rooting for CiCi and congrats to Jennifer, TI, and Robin on their new albums.

I too think the song is another side of Ciara were not used too and for some reason it almost delivers, although I think it could have been more in put into it to become a mega smash hit. By the look of the stills im SO EXCITIED to see the video, Ciara always delivers on the videos and by pics looks like this one willbe another great one! Im never this excited for videos expect for Ciara’s and a few other artists.

Furthermore i use to be a big fan of Beyonce untill she made the statement about wishing she was Hispanic. She will NEVER see a dime of my money. I will leave it to the hispanics to buy it. And trust if Chris or Rihanna as much as i love the as artist and a couple i will do the same if something as stupid come out of either of their mouth. Sorry to let you in but beyonce needs money that why she’s making music for us to buy and get her rich. and i don’t mind..but always respect where you come from and your fans. AGAIN….IMO..
