OH MY DAMN / BEY LOOKS TOO FABULOUS.
ON HER CD:
I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED .. THAT ALL THESE STORES OVER HERE WERE SOLD OUT! Y’ALLS ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING! I WAS ABOUT 2 HOURS LATE TO WORK BECAUSE MY ASS WAS TROOPIN AROUND THE DAMN WORLD LOOKING FOR HER CD. BEST BUY WAS SOLD OUT, 2 OF THE FYE’S WERE SOLD OUT, WALMART SOLD OUT .. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL. I HAD TO GO TO TARGET, AND I BOUGHT THE 4 LAST ONES (THANK THE LORD). 3 OF MY FRIENDS ASKED ME TO PICK ONE UP FOR THEM.
I LIKED THE CD. MATTER OF FACT, I LOVED IT. I DEFINITELY DON’T THINK IT WAS HER BEST ALBUM BUT I REALLY DO ENJOY IT. SHE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT AND IT CAME OUT GREAT (IMO). I REALLY LOVED HOW SHE DID DIFFERENT SOUNDING MUSIC. INSTEAD OF SAME OLE SHIT. I REALLY LIKED IT.
BTW: WHY THE HELL ARE CD’S SO HARD TO OPEN? IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO TRY AND PEAL THE TAPE OFF THAT THANG.

Beyonce’s hair looks very tacky. The weave ponytail does not go with that dress. I think they have run out of ideas. she looks very old and tired these days. She’s on her way to Janetville lol this cd will be her first real flop. should help to shrink her oversized ego. lol she looks terrible without lace fronts and full head of horse hair yaki weave.

Beyonce looks fabulous from the neck up. Love her hair & makeup, and the earrings are fierce. I’m not sure about the dress, though. From some camera angles, it’s very flattering, and on others, not so much. Not feeling the magazine cover … it’s just … strange. But Bey’s always a beautiful, poised young lady.

I wasn’t bashing the ladies. I like some of their music but icons they are not. The point was not to degrade them but to point out none of them can do what Beyonce does. That’s all.

My review for I Am...Making You Pay For A Deluxe Edition That Could've Been a One Disc by Beyoncé
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 /
One Star for the album
Before I start, I’m just gonna say I’m not an amazing reviewer, but I am going to give an honest review.
I am definately not the biggest Beyonce fan by far, as I usually like to stray away from mainstream music as often as I can, being such over processed crap as most of it is. But this is Beyonce we’re talking about, she has amazing talent, and an amazing vocal range. Which is why I’m so appalled that she had the audacity to release such an album. It’s almost like she’s saying, “I’m Beyonce, I’m amazing, and people will jump on anything I create, so why even make an attempt.”
I’m one of the idiots who purchased the deluxe album, and after unwrapping it at home and actually checking out the track listing and such, all of these songs could have DEFINATELY fit onto one album. There was nothing deluxe about it.
After listening to the first disc, I almost felt I had to check my stereo to make sure I didn’t have the same song on repeat over and over. The entire first disc is nothing but power ballads, that lack just that, power. There was no emotion, they all sounded exactly the same: bland, dull, and over-polished. It made me feel like she went into the studio and just recorded each track to the same intrumental, back to back, and called it a night.
The second disc I’m assuming was supposed to be the disc with club anthems, party songs and such. It had the typical “independent” ladies song, and the typical “boast like a man” song. I forced myself through the whole thing just to say I gave it a shot. Basically the only song worth anything on this entire collection is the song “Single Ladies”, which I’m still not bananas about.
Beyonce, you’re incredible, but this album was a slap in the face to all of your fans and anyone who even mildly liked you. Giving it two stars is generous, and I wasn’t in the mood.
It definately seems like I’m bashing Beyonce in this review, but I’m not bashing her, I’m bashing her feeble effort in this album release. I’m sure she’ll notice the poor feedback from this cd and the next will be incredible. She should definately take her time and create an album with songs that have some staying power. Because if there ever was a Beyonce album to forget in the dust it’s definately this one.

uzcomnsenz,
I AGREE WITH TETE IN SAYING THAT YOUR OPINION IS NOT RESPECTED BASED ON YOU DOWNING OTHER ARTISTS. SINCE THERE WERE ONLY TWO PEOPLE THAT REALLY TALKED ABOUT ICON STATUS INCLUDING MYSELF, IM GUESSING THAT YOU MAY BE ADDRESSING MY STATEMENT SO HERE’S MY RESPONSE:
FOR ONE I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT VH1 SAYING ANYTHING WHEN IT’S BEING RAN BY PEOPLE OF TODAY’S TIME AND ERA OF MUSIC. AS I SAID AND WILL SAY IT AGAIN BEYONCE TO ME IS NOT AN ICON SIMPLY IN 11YEARS OF MUSIC LIFE. YOU CAN’T BEGIN TO COMPARE HER TO THE LIKES OF MJ, PATTI, ANITA, BILLIE H., ETC. THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AND WERE IN THE GAME 20,30-40 YEARS. THOSE PEOPLE WERE SIGNED WHEN THEY WERE STILL IN SINGLE DIGITS. SO PLEASE QUIT WITH SHE IS KNOWN GLOBALLY AND ALL THAT STUFF. WHAT SHE HAS DONE IS REMARKABLE YES AND I DON’T EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HER. I DO BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE SHE HAS A CHANCE OF BEING AN ICON AND TRULY YOU CANT JUDGE THAT UNTIL YOU LIKE 50 AND I’M 23 YRS OLD.
POEPLE YOU’VE LISTED:
MARY- HAS BEEN IN THE HIP HOP SOUL INDUSTRY FOR 20YRS AND SHE’S GLOBALLY KNOWN.
RIHANNA-WHO KNOWS. MADONNA COULDN’T SING EITHER AND SHE’S STILL WORTH 500MIL.
CIARA-JANET WASN’T A STRONG SINGER BUT COULD DANCE HER BUTT OFF AND SHE’S AN ICON. BEEN IN THE GAME FOR OVER 20YRS.
ALICIA KEYS- REMINISCENT OF BILLIE HOLIDAY AND RAY CHARLES. BOTH WHO ARE ICONS AND KNOWN GLOBALLY. JUST TO REMIND YOU ALSO THAT ALICIA KEYS IS GLOBALLY KNOWN.
EACH ARTISTS HAVE THEIR OWN VISIONS AND TALENTS AND HAVE POTENTIAL OF BECOMING FUTURE ICONS. THEIR DREAMS WON’T STOP BASED ON YOU ONE OPINION. EVEN WITH GREAT TALENT, NOBODY IN TODAY’S MUSIC ERA IS AN ICON YET. THE CLOSEST YOU HAVE IS MARY AND EVEN SHE IS STILL BUILDING HER ICON STATUS. LONGEVITY IS A KEY THING TO BEING ICONIC.

.To PAT FIELDS
I do have “body shots” on my page. (You need to use those objects we call eyes a little better.)
You think that Im short, fat, ugly and dark skinned… Ok let me state the facts:
Yes, I’m 5′3, and that is a negative how? You dont determine your height, idiot.
You say that Im fat? Hmm, guys out here say I have an ass… look at my body shots dummy….
And you say Im ugly, but I turn down men on a daily basis.. and last but not least..
Why the hell did you bring up me being dark skinned as a negative. I have beautiful skin, and I love who I’am. If you dont like me because I have “dark skin,” then you can just go and gouge your freaking eyes out you self-hating fool….
So before you go off making comments about people, know your facts asshole..

Beyonce inspires passion - whether “STANNING” (the term comes from Eminem’s song “STAN” about an obsessed fan) or “HATING” - the responses are always passionate.
People critique every aspect of her appearance - her hair (weave or not?), her eyebrows, her outfits and accessories…and her armpits for goodness sakes. PASSION.
And of all the people who are termed “HATERS,” none of them ever says she’s not talented. In a perfect world, it would really be about can Beyonce sing, and is her life show worth the price of admission. But we know a lot of folks need reality checks - whether you’re a STAN or a HATER, you need a life, and need to stop trying to live vicariously thru Beyonce - cuz both STANS and HATERS do it alike.
Never ceases to amaze me how people who claim to be tired of Beyonce are the ones who hit up the posts about her the most. REALITY CHECK - if you didn’t care about her, or didn’t like her, you wouldn’t even bother to post your comments.
She inspires passion - whether you love her or hate her, y’all stay keeping her name in y’alls mouths - or on your fingers as the case may be.

I DISAGREE. IF THERE WAS A CD FOR PEOPLE TO FORGET ABOUT BEYONCE, IT DEFINITELY WOULD BE B’DAY. I AM A BEYONCE FANATIC BUT THAT CD WAS PURE .. .. I WONT EVEN SAY IT BECAUSE BEY IS MY GURL. BUT B’DAY WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL. I ONLY LIKED UPGRADE U BUT THAT GREW OUT OF ME.
TO YOU THOUGH:
HUNNY, I’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD ALL THESE REVIEWS AND THE CLIPS OF BEYONCE’S ALBUM BEFORE IT CAME OUT, RIGHT? I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DIDN’T. IF YOU DID, WHY WOULD YOU PURCHASE IT IF YOU WEREN’T AMAZED BY IT? I MEAN, WITH ALL THE INTERNET ACCESS WE HAVE TODAY, YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY TELL ME YOU DIDN’T HEAR ANY OF THE TRACKS.
THEY ALSO HAVE THOSE CD THINGS THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO CLIPS OF THE SONGS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE IT. SO “I DON’T GO ON THE INTERNET” IS NOT AN EXCUSE. I’M STILL NOT GETTING WHY YOU WOULD BUY A $20 CD THAT YOU HEARD NOTHING ABOUT. I NEVER DO THAT.
ANOTHER THING I DON’T UNDERSTAND FROM YOU IS WHY YOU CALL THE BEYONCE SIDE ALL BLAND YET THE SASHA SIDE IS THE COMPLETE OPPISITE YET YOU STILL COMPLAIN. I DON’T AND NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND PEOPLE LIKE YOU. I’M NOT ATTACKING YOU EITHER, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU EXPECTED FROM HER.

if i hear somebody complain about this album but praise B-DAY,i wont even feel the need to debate about it because b-day was a hot mess with the exception of a few tracks

1. in which pics does she look beautiful b/c she looks a mess in all. she looks worn out or something. maybe she’s tired but her eyes…
2. someone on here said bee was all makeup. so is riri. at least when bee takes off her makeup she’s still on the higher end of pretty. riri goes from being stunning with makeup to barely passing for pretty without makeup
3. yes bee is overrated b/c though she can sing and perform, she is not an artist. she is a singer. calling her an artist would imply that she has depth and “bootylicious” and “if you like it then you should’ve put a ring on it” don’t sound very meaningful. even “listen” isn’t meaningful. it’s a song of generic lyrics. she can sing so well though so original and creative, she is not. her music will not outlive her. it’s disposable

@PAT FIELDS are you implying that dark skin chicks hate bee b/c they’re the ones who love her? all the white girls i know can’t stand her b/c they think she’s tacky, especially in her clothing (but i’m from the city and we actually have style lol so that’s probably why they think that). the light skin girls i know don’t really care about her much unless they have to defend her when someone says something negative about light-skinned chicks. it’s mostly darker skinned women who love her. only some don’t like her, not b/c she’s light but b/c it is well-known that light-skinned blacks do get preference just like whites get preference over blacks. it’s fact so they might look at her and think about that and then get upset.

These posts about Beyonce make me wonder if some of these people are getting paid to be on her defense team. Everyone is entitiled to their own opinion. Her album is garbage. It’s just an opinion. No artist, singer, actor, actress is liked by everybody. I think her music is recycled and the lyrics are very childish. I wonder what is she going to sing about in the next 5 years when she’s 32.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 /
I bought her album yesterday. “Halo” and “Ave Maria” are glorious (I can’t say enough about those 2 songs!), but the rest of the album is a snore. I applaud her for taking risks on the new album , something I feel she was never able to do before. I really respect her for taking her music in a new direction and producing some true art, but some of those tracks are barely listenable.
Her dress is really cute in those pics, but I’m among those that thinks she is prettier with more makeup. She looks kind of dry without it.

Real Talk
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 /
You know why the fans (they’re not stans) go hard for Beyonce? Because it’s always some schmuck trying to discredit her when they don’t have to post their negative opinion at all. Yes, everyone has an opinion but if it’s negative on a post that should be positive for her fans - don’t hate or try and regulate - deal with it or bounce.

But for the record, I love BRANDY, and I like Rihanna. Also I hate the comparison of Beyonce to every woman (and I say every woman because on 1 blog someone was comparing her to Michelle Obama and Oprah). What I will do is defend Beyonce as an artist, because I LOVE Beyonce (artistically). But I dont compare.

lmao at some of these post…why and the hell are some yall trying to JUSTIFY WHY YOU DONT LIKE BEYONCE??

MAYBE YOU HAVE A TWIN SO MY FAULT FOR THE CONFUSION. I JUST KNOW THAT NAME IS IN EVERY SINGLE BLOG BASHING THOSE ARTISTS IN THE NAME OF BEYONCE AND I DON’T THINK COMPARISONS NOR BASHINGS OF OTHER ARTISTS ARE FAIR. I UNDERSTAND YOU DEFENDING THE ARTIST YOU LOVE, BECAUSE I DO THE SAME FOR ALICIA KEYS (ARTISTICALLY). SO DON’T TAKE WHAT I’VE SAID TO HEART BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT WAS MEANT FOR A PERSON WHO USES THE SAME NAME AS YOU.

BEYONCE SET FOR FIERCE DEBUT
Her New Double-CD Will Bow at #1 with Between 500-550k, Cook, Nickelback, Swift Battle for #2
November 19, 2008
A double dose of Beyonce and her alter ego will grab the top spot on the HITS Album Sales chart next week, as her two-CD Music World/Columbia set, I Am… Sasha Fierce, will debut at #1 with 500-550k in sales, according to those hardy retailers who still have their doors open.
With a stunning appearance on Saturday Night Live last weekend, two hit singles in “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” and a starring role as Etta James in the upcoming Chess Records movie, Cadillac Records (and its accompanying soundtrack), Beyonce might as well be Sasha Claus.
The real tussle will be right below that for #2, as a debuting RCA/RMG’s David Cook and Roadrunner’s Nickelback go head-to-head with this week’s chart-topper, Big Machine’s Taylor Swift, in her second week. All look to be in the 300k range, mas o menos.
Syco/Columbia’s Il Divo, Simon Cowell’s tenor heartthrobs, are in the 100-125k range.
Other Top 50 newcomers will include Epic’s masked metal marauders Mudvayne, with 40-50k, and Asylum rapper Slim at 30-40k.
Sunday will mark the release of Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy, while IDJ beats the Tuesday rush with three biggies in Kanye West, The Killers and Ludacris in stores on the Monday before Black Friday.
The market was up 27% vs. last week, down 24% vs. the same week last year and still down 13% year to date.
Now, excuse us while we get in line for our $125 Sony Bravia HDTV.

That’s great but I guess I was really expecting 650+….she did those numbers with B’Day…either way congrats for the No. 1 Spot.

CAN WE SAY THIRD #1 ALBUM IN A ROW, WHEN RIHANNA GON DO IT ????

Lawd have mercy! It is beyond me why Beyonce stans always say somebody is “HATIN’”. I definitely don’t want to live in the world ya’ll live in where you think everything someone does is perfect. How delusional.
I like the world of objectivity and varying opinions. I don’t like Beyonce period. I’m allowed not to like something or someone. Nobody is in denial of her success. Why am I a hater just because I’m not a fan of hers?
To all you stans, I’m quite sure that there are other artists you don’t like. WTF?

2 sides of Beyonce on ‘Sasha Fierce,’ but only one of them works
Beyonce Knowles is one of the most commercially potent entertainers in the world, but you wouldn’t necessarily know it listening to her albums.
She may be one of the biggest-selling artists of the last decade with Destiny’s Child and as a solo star. She may be 24-7 tabloid fodder thanks to her marriage to hip-hop mogul Jay-Z. But the Houston native doesn’t go on any power trips when she makes music.
Instead, she presents life not as a celebrity circus, but as a private hell of romantic travail. On her third solo album, the double-disc “I Am … Sasha Fierce” (Sony), out Tuesday, she splits her artistic persona in half to address her favorite subject: Men, and the mess they make of women’s lives.
The first disc focuses on ballads that hint at introspection. The second adopts an alter ego — “Sasha Fierce” – to dish out dancefloor dirt. The production sticks to form, clearing out things for Beyonce’s thin, pretty voice to deliver thin, pretty hooks galore. But the gimmicky concept falls flat.
In the album’s first half, Beyonce adopts a familiar (if dispiriting) guise: Doormat. “If I Were a Boy” offers a promising premise, the kind of illuminating gender-bender Prince might’ve written, but instead portrays the narrator as a needy victim. It’s more of the same role that Beyonce also played on her previous album, the 2006 release “B-Day.” Her softer songs inevitably portray men as unfaithful curs, but she still can’t live without them.
Emotional fragility suits her airy voice. Songs such as “Disappear” and “Ave Marie” (which, besides referencing the hymn, offers a rare moment of comfort) come off as delicate as her emotions.
She flips the always-second-best script on the second disc. She’s on a post-breakup bender, but still feels the need to explain herself: “Cried my tears for three good years/Ya can’t be mad at me.”
The disc contains more attitude than we’re used to hearing from Beyonce, who usually errs on the side of heart-break and generic declarations of female solidarity. She’d rather make love to the sounds pouring from her “Radio” or perform for a “Video Phone” than commit to another long-term relationship. Her prescription for getting over what’s-his-name is to behave just as irresponsibly: “A diva is a female version of a hustler.”
The latter song’s menacing rhythm and chanted vocals mark the album’s biggest departure. But Beyonce doesn’t make a very convincing vixen. “Sasha Fierce” sounds more like a pose than a credible alter-ego.

BEYONCE SET FOR FIERCE DEBUT
Her New Double-CD Will Bow at #1 with Between 500-550k, Cook, Nickelback, Swift Battle for #2
November 19, 2008
A double dose of Beyonce and her alter ego will grab the top spot on the HITS Album Sales chart next week, as her two-CD Music World/Columbia set, I Am… Sasha Fierce, will debut at #1 with 500-550k in sales, according to those hardy retailers who still have their doors open.
With a stunning appearance on Saturday Night Live last weekend, two hit singles in “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” and a starring role as Etta James in the upcoming Chess Records movie, Cadillac Records (and its accompanying soundtrack), Beyonce might as well be Sasha Claus.
The real tussle will be right below that for #2, as a debuting RCA/RMG’s David Cook and Roadrunner’s Nickelback go head-to-head with this week’s chart-topper, Big Machine’s Taylor Swift, in her second week. All look to be in the 300k range, mas o menos.
Syco/Columbia’s Il Divo, Simon Cowell’s tenor heartthrobs, are in the 100-125k range.
Other Top 50 newcomers will include Epic’s masked metal marauders Mudvayne, with 40-50k, and Asylum rapper Slim at 30-40k.
Sunday will mark the release of Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy, while IDJ beats the Tuesday rush with three biggies in Kanye West, The Killers and Ludacris in stores on the Monday before Black Friday.
The market was up 27% vs. last week, down 24% vs. the same week last year and still down 13% year to date.

KEEP IN MIND - THIS IS AFTER 1 DAY OF SALES.

HERE’S ANOTHER FOR YOU #136
USA TODAY - 3 out of 4 stars
At a time when celebrities invite TV cameras into their bathrooms without batting an eyelash, Beyoncé Knowles — or Mrs. Jay-Z, though she’s not likely to sign any autographs that way — is that rare public person who demands privacy, and who understands its old-school allure. On I Am … Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, like David Bowie and Mariah Carey before her, unleashes an alter ego, and uses it to both open her heart and maintain her dignity.
On I Am … Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, like David Bowie and Mariah Carey before her, unleashes an alter ego, and uses it to both open her heart and maintain her dignity.
Available in standard and deluxe editions, the album is divided into two discs.The first is gentler and more patently vulnerable, while Ms. Fierce is a vehicle for the confidence and sass that the singer summons onstage. But as that title, with its sly ellipsis, suggests, Beyoncé and Sasha are bound by more than a creative concept. There are strength and defiance in I Am’s tender ballads, and unfulfilled yearning in Sasha Fierce’s funkier, more flamboyant fare.
The overall portrait is one of a young woman grateful for her blessings in art and life, and eager to protect them as her journey continues.

to the person who said not even alicia keys can do what beyonce does, you don’t know what alicia can do but the fact remains that alicia can go on a hiatus for two or three years, come back, and still sell 764,987 in the first week like she did last time. That’s because she doesn’t feel the need to be in the limelight all the time getting photo ops 24/7 she is seen when she needs to be seen she knows how to make the public actually miss her.

Okay, today class, we are going to learn about ICONs.
Is Beyonce an “icon”? No. What makes an icon, you ask? Well, lets just cut to the chase…
An icon is a world renowned entertainer that has longetivity. A person that changed an era with his/her presence, style and talent. A person whose music transcends every ‘fad’ the music business rides. A person whose style is emulated in today’s music.
Examples, you ask??
Madonna- yeah, many say she can’t sing but the lady has been in the game successfully for a long time and she single-handedly started many fashion crazes in the 80’s. Whose jockin’ Madonna’s style? Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc.
Prince- need I say more.
Michael Jackson- fits the bill of an icon. Whose jockin’ MJ’s style? Usher, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, etc.
Beyonce- ????
So, as you can see class, Beyonce is popular by today’s standards and she is definitely working to become an icon. Is she there yet? No. Will she get there? I’m sure she will.

Alicia kills beyonce sales wise. There is no way beyonce’s cd will do as much as Keys last cd did in opening week. Most of Bey’s cd’s have been bought by her dad and Jay lol just like Gotti did for Ashanti back in the day. It’s all marketing to get you dummies hyped up to go buy it. Nobody wants to buy a flop cd so they trying to make it seem like she is in demand by purchasing most of the copies by the truckload before distribution. She shipped 500,000 copies so that she can claim those as sold, truthfully those are not sold to the public, they are bought by distributors at retail because her name usually guarantees sales. Now, watch what happens the second week, that cd is falling all the way down the charts and that will be that.
Sorry but beyonce is boring. I didn’t buy the cd and don’t plan to. I was her biggest fan back in the day when she was in DC and I love CIL era but this new cd is straight up garbage. She is looking very haggard too. Why is one of her eyes bigger than the other in that pic where she is facing the camera smiling. ummmshe need rest LOL

Its funny that her stans wait hours and purchase multiple disc just to make this chick go # 1. The album is garbage, and most of you know but dont want to say anything. Britney is about to smash Beyonce’s low #’s, watch. December 2, 2008, will knock Beyonce out, Britney’s album is HOT! Mannequin, Trouble, Blur, Leather & Lace, Kill the Lights, Womanizer, and Circus are great songs from Circus to check out…..Beyonce only has Halo and Disappear that are really good songs, but other than that Sasha is Ghetto (for her tranny and ghetto fans) and Beyonce is country and pop for white people. Go ahead and buy your Beyonce albums, it will do nothing to help when Britney comes because whites, hispanics, and blacks are waiting for Britney…Only blacks are waiting for Beyonce. White people think she tries to act white, and Hispanics think that she is trying to be hispanic and they are over her.
