    Why are people calling Beyonce The Qeenn I don’t see people bowing down to her feet nor do I see a castle anywhere. Anyways A. Keys did her thing a true Diva and Icon.

    I liked Rhianna’s performance. I love her understated style of singing. I’m so not feeling the over top singing that many of these pop/r&b artists like Christina A.

    JAY-Z AND RIHANNA AFFAIR: A PURE D LIE

    SMH. I am not sure where I recently heard this, but all that fiasco about Jay-Z and Rihanna has turned out to be a big, fat lie. But, guess where the lie originated? Her own publicist has taken credit for creating the rumors. Peep this from Associated Content:

    “Along with one of my partners, I then began to fabricate stories of Rihanna and Jay-Z, leaking false rumors to tabloids, working internet message boards, etc. We started to get an insane amount of media coverage very fast. There are so many things we did that people don’t even know about, not even Rihanna herself.”

    “Like when the rumor surfaced that Jay-Z had a new love life and was cheating on Beyonce…that was just to get attention. Rihanna had nothing to do with ANY of that, nor did she know what we were doing.”

    “Rihanna is one of the biggest stars in the world now, and look at how she stormed into the business!” Hay continues. “Not to take anything from her – she is a great artist – but every artist needs a launching pad and there is nothing better than a good scandal to get the public’s attention.”

    Obviously, dude isn’t her PR agent now, but how crazy is it that they just make up lies to get people to buy in? SMH. I hope the ends and the means match up.

    *****************************************************

    YEAH, RIGHT RIHANNA DIDN’T KNOW. You get media training and have to deal with your publicist for bad publicity – she was down. THEY KNEW WHAT WE KNEW – SHE HAS NO TALENT AND NEEDED TO GET ON ANYWAY SHE COULD – LMAO!!! She’ll never last 12+ years like the hottest and baddest chick in the game – rotflmao!!!

  9. THE REVELATION

    Yall who are hating on B are plum foolish! She had that entire audience on their feet! They were enjoying and PARTICIPATING in the performance…PAR…TIC…A..PATING! Rihanna is an okay chick. Yall need to stop the comparisons though! Rihanna IS NOT an ENTERTAINER! She will NEVER obtain the accomplishments B has obtained! Even with the hype about Rihanna in 2007 she still hadn’t obtained 1/3 of B’s accomplishments when B was her age! Yall youngbucks need to get ya facts straight and get ya lives together. Appreciate your Black history, founding fathers, and ground breakers in the industry. Half of yall don’t even know what REAL music is…talkin bout some foolish Rihanna. LOL…JOKE! You poppy rainbow brite in this week out next week Rihanna stanning clowns. This lets me know how foolish you Rihanna stans really are, yall love some one who has set the world record for appearances on both WHEN SHE ROCKED IT BETTER and WHO ROCKED IT BETTER! AND YOU CLAIM SHE’S ORIGINAL! 90% of the TIME SHE WORE IT AFTER…YES! AFTER ANOTHER “D” CLASS ARTIST! B is that CHICK, LIVE IT, EAT IT, and BREATHE IT! You can’t stop her or her success! ALL AMERICAN BABY! SHE creates the pace for the industry to push themselves…why does she need push herself when she’s pushing yall to prove yourselves! Beyonce is not just an artists…SHe’s a philosophy for you cheap industry chicks! GET SOME SUBSTANCE!
