Beyonce is Fiercely underrated

Beyoncé: No, No, No she’s Fiercely Underrated
by Rob Morgan

http://entertainment.uk.m...musi…entid=11098005

As Beyoncé prepares to release a new double album, half of which is credited to her alter-ego Sasha Fierce, Rob Morgan argues that the multi-talented diva doesn’t always get the credit she deserves…

They say that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. In that case, somewhere in a basement in Texas there is a picture of Beyoncé as a talentless American Idol wannabe, growing irrelevant as she lip-syncs her one hit single in shopping malls. The girl in the picture fails and falters, squandering her career performing flabbily at high profile award shows. She slides out of limos paying paparazzi’s mortgages with a flash up her skirt, in and out of rehab, striving to satisfy the media’s appetite for novelty with ever diminishing returns.

Meanwhile, the public face of Beyoncé is Sasha Fierce, an indestructible fictional character who can do no wrong.

There’s a pub game that uses ‘Chuck Norris Facts’ style nonsense to celebrate Beyoncé’s skill set: “Beyoncé can swim underwater for nine miles”, “Beyoncé’s all-female band Suga Mama actually features all females” or, my favourite, “Beyoncé is the only person who can do the Moonwalk forwards”.

It does sometimes seem that she can do anything. Yet I’d say she’s rarely given the credit for it.

I can hear the snorts now. Beyoncé underrated? Isn’t the wall to wall coverage enough for this wannabe Tina Turner clothes horse?

OK, I’m not saying she’s not exposed: she’s promoted everywhere and in every gossip magazine. The highest-earning female artist will always be. All that obscures her various talents.

In no particular order, Beyoncé is a pretty good actress. Dreamgirls was everything it should have been. If she gets her way (and Beyoncé always gets her way), she’ll be an excellent Wonder Woman. Then there’s the songwriting. She’s co-written 10 or more number one singles. Like too many successful female songwriters, there’s a question mark hanging over that claim. People assume that, really, a man must have done the difficult bit of writing the songs, or at least helped her with the heavy lifting.

As discussed here, new single If I Were A Boy was written by a San Diego singer called BC Jean. It’s credited to Jean and her producer, not to Beyoncé. Roger Friedman of Fox News has weighed in on this and claimed that Beyoncé’s famously tough manager father tried to bully her way onto the writing credits.

It’s easy to believe that happened - adding people to the writing credits of songs as a way of getting your share is as old as the music business itself. This story has spread all over the internet just from Friedman’s one paraphrased, unsubstantiated “I’m told that…” story. But Friedman has it in for Knowles. He has long disputed her songwriting accomplishments. He makes the ridiculous claim that Crazy In Love is just the horn sample, or that Baby Boy and Naughty Girl are no more than the songs they draw from (Here Comes The Hot Stepper and Love To Love You Baby).

Now there’s his statement that BC Jean’s version of her song is “certainly as good as Beyonce’s if not better”. That version is available on Jean’s website and listening to that raspy, whiny Four Non Blondes original makes me appreciate the Beyoncé soulful version all the more.

Knowles can really sing. She was responsible for Destiny’s Child’s signature staccato vocal style. If I Were A Boy is another step forward for her voice. Compare it to Madonna’s stylistically-similar torch songs with William Orbit and it’s clear that all the songwriting and production muscle in the world won’t give a thin voice the depth Beyoncé has summoned up nowadays.

The evidence that Knowles is falsely claiming to write songs to which she made no significant contribution is slim, but for some reason, people want to believe it in a way they don’t when it’s George Michael or Michael Jackson.

Which brings me to another one of Beyoncé’s qualities. Let’s face it, her looks haven’t done her career any harm. I find that if I say, “the thing she does with her leg in Crazy In Love”, few women, but all men will know exactly what I’m talking about. It often seems that a woman has to look good to have a chance of success in the sexist music business.

It’s deceptive, though. I’d say looks are another reason Beyoncé is underrated. Beauty gets the exposure and shifts units, but if it’s acclaim you want they count against you. If you want to win awards, it’s better to be Adele than Joss Stone. In Hollywood, if Nicole Kidman wants to be taken seriously one week, she uglifies herself with a fake nose and wins an Oscar. There is no equivalent for the female pop star. Unlike Robbie Williams or Justin Timberlake, if she starts as eye candy that’s what she remains.

Oh, and Beyoncé can dance. See the no-frills dance-only video to other current single Single Ladies. Then see the Saturday Night Live skit of the same video to prove she has a sense of humour.

The gimmick with the new double album is that half of it is not Beyoncé, it’s Sasha Fierce. “Sasha is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I’m working and when I’m on the stage.”

She’s been rattling on about Sasha for years now. The idea is that Sasha is a psychological defence mechanism, a split personality that allows her to retain who she really is off stage.

All very neat, but don’t be fooled. Yes, Sasha is a trick, but it’s not the trick she says she is. Talking about her fantastic show-stealing performance with Prince at the 2004 Grammys, Bee said “I saw that I didn’t even give him the mic. It was supposed to be in the middle, not in front of my mouth. Sasha just took over.”

Hmm. Sasha isn’t a way of protecting poor Beyoncé from the intrusions of fame, she’s a way of protecting us from the terrifyingly ambitious, feral, real Ms Beyoncé Knowles. She’s a way of disguising from the world quite how talented, successful and underrated she is - and just how much she wants this. It’s understandable, really. We need Sasha to be a fake because Beyoncé is too good to be true.

You know what, I am a die hard Beyonce fan, but the stans on this site take the conversation to an ignorant level. Sometimes people who are not fans of Beyonce come on these sites just to make comments that will set the fans off and make them go on ignorant rants. For example, I’m so sick of the same tired argument about people who criticize Beyonce, “Oh she must be a dark skinned woman.” That is not a reflection of Beyonce, that is a reflection of the sort of self-hatred that blacks have continually bestowed upon each other, and then have the nerve to preach about the evils of white people. Blacks say they’re over the whole light and dark issue, but everyday we show that we have our own racial issues. What is wrong with dark skinned women, your next first lady is a dark skinned woman?

So what if people criticize Beyonce, sometimes she does not look good in her pictures. For example, I personally do not see where the above shots are some of her personal bests. She looks bangin’ in the dress, but save the drama.

I seriously believe that it’s something with with this girl that her family knows about but can’t say………………………….

That she has a type of personality or identity disorder. She says that when she performs that she changes into Sasa but when she’s off stage she’s Beyonce. She claims that she created this to protect who she is but we ain’t stupid, This child is crazy and confused. She’s always on the go and just want sit down. She’s a crazy, controlling, jealous person that seems to kind of hide it all very well by pretending to be really a shy, boring and down to earth person. Beyonce’s very selfish, she could have waited another time to come out with another album. Solange, her sister, just put her album out this year and Beyonce didn’t even give Solange a chance to enjoy her spotlight. I think Beyonce gets crazy and jealous when things don’t go her way. She’s a spoiled ass brat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Bloomberg Review: 4/4 stars for I am...Sasha Fierce

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 /

Beyonce Serves Up Killer Pop

http://www.bloomberg.com/...J5M7SwjawA&refer=muse

Beyonce Knowles, who is barely 27 and well on her way to establishing herself as a corporation with feet in music, film and fashion, is a hard woman to resist. Beyond her good looks and talent, she has the moxie to produce records that are state of the art.

Her latest, “I am… Sasha Fierce” (Sony/BMG), appeared in stores on Nov. 18 and sprawls across two discs. It is ambitious, cutting through a myriad of styles -– from musings that wouldn’t be out of place on a Stevie Wonder or Joan Armatrading album, to flat-out, driving R&B for dancing and blasting from car stereos.

This is music the way we hear it today on the radio, the beats we dance to and the look, the groove, the vibe that will leave a mark on a decade of pop music. Beyonce has two films coming out in the next year: she will be hard to overlook in the coming months, so get used to it.

“Sasha Fierce,” which Beyonce says draws its name from her on-stage alter ego, was overseen by more producers, musicians and engineers to create 100 records. It still feels singularly focused around her own personality and ideas.

“Sasha” is split into two discs, with the first offering the more restrained songs and the second emphasizing up-tempo dance. The material is strong enough to carry it without boredom.

I would have been satisfied with just the first disc, mostly because the kind of dance-oriented R&B that fuels disc no. 2 isn’t my cup of tea and never will be. Still, fans who already snacked on monster hits such as “Crazy in Love” or “Ring the Alarm” will find new work like “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” just as propulsive.

Saturday, Sunday

Disc two could be played on a Saturday night, while the mellower, more introspective first CD, embellished with guitars and often spare arrangements, can follow on Sunday when songs such as “Ave Maria” and “Satellites” will help to soften the mood.

Beyonce’s singing remains tremendous, mostly because she has the sense of restraint that eludes other divas such as Maria Carey or Whitney Houston. Instead of spending every bar trying to impress you with vocal gymnastics, Beyonce remains controlled, tasteful, riding the beat, placing the emphasis on control, color and teasing the melody.

Although the lyrics are sometimes vapid or just silly -– did you expect Bob Dylan here? –- there are some killer moments, especially on “If I Were a Boy,” in which she imagines herself as a better member of the opposite sex than those born into it.

This is the kind of intelligent, passionate material modern radio so desperately needs. In “Boy,” which peaked at no. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100, I haven’t heard a better mainstream single this year.

Rating: ****

I agree with the person that said 500,000 sold album is not a success not for Beyonce. With all that promoting she did, you would have thought she would sell a “milli” . Also Alicia sold more than her and didn’t even do half the promotions Beyonce did. Also that new chick Taylor Swift sold more than that. I don’t call it success when you sell just as much as your last album. Oh but it gets worse because Kanye comes out next week and Britney Spears the week after. It’s about Beyonce who. Also can I just say concreteloop stans for thsi woman. If you go to major websites they are not even talking about her. They are focused on Britney Spears.

Haters fallback u know this is her takeover time. I re-listened to the album and it’s grown so much on me now (having not liked it too much initially). I guess it’s better that way, since the other two album were so immediate. It took me a bit more time to appreciate the sound. Satellites and Halo are beautiful.

Amen! Taylor Swift is the bomb too, but Beyonce should not be selling less or the same amount as a new artist. I figure the fans on blogs have been saying they are buying multiple copies, so if each fan bought 2 copies that like 250 thousand units sold. This is garbage!
Also, people are saying the cd’s are sold out everywhere, this is a marketing tool from the label….what they do is ship less units to the seller so it looks like its flying off the shelf and the consumer see this and wants to buy it even more. You guys are being fooled, but you call people haters when in actuality we are trying to tell yall the truth about the knowles just like Brandy tried to do with Kelly and Kelly didnt want to listen and look at where she is at now.
Another thing, Rihanna outsold BDay and I think she will do it again in 09

If so you would not call her anything but dark skin and nothing is wrong with that. You don’t have to lighten up a person in order to praise them fools! Blacks can be so ignorant at times!!! Color struck much? you dumb asses take stupidity to a whole new level. and by the way Naomi Cambell is no way shape or form darker than Michelle Obama. Your first lady is a dark skinned black woman and if you are in denial about your own skin color you need to buy a mirror.

Beyonce has fallen off!1

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 /

On her third solo disc, Beyoncé returns with a concept album of sorts, a double disc with disc 1 comprising ballads reflecting Beyoncé, and disc 2 comprising more uptempo songs reflecting her fiercer alter ego, Sasha.

Opening the album is the smash hit “If I were a boy”, co-penned by Toby Gad who also co-penned such lovely acoustic ballads for Fergie (”Big girls don’t cry”) and Donna Summer (”Sand on my feet”). The song is a beautiful acoustic ballad with Beyoncé stepping into a guys’ shoes and telling how she would treat a girl better if she were a guy. It also features some of Beyoncé’s most heartfelt and best vocals. Other standouts on Disc 1 are “Broken-hearted girl”, the acoustic “Smash into you” (on the deluxe edition), and the bonus cut “Save the hero”, a Timbaland-style groove with lyrics asking who will be there for her in her time of need, as she’s always there for others.

Disc 2 boasts more sonic variety; The techno-tinged “Radio”, the club number “Sweet dreams” (which sounds like something off of former bandmate Michelle’s recent Dance CD), the piano drenched “Hello”, the retro Soul sounding “Ego” (with organ, horns and lovely harmonies), the stomping Darkchild produced “Scared of lonely” (nice keyboards and swirling synth effects) and the closing bonus cut co-penned by her sister Solange (who I feel should have co-penned the entire CD), the Motown-tinged bouncy “Why don’t you love me” (the latter 4 on the deluxe edition).

That makes it 10 good songs on the entire album (assuming you have all 18 cuts). And therein lies the problem. The disc could have been effectively whittled down to just 10 tracks and it would have been much more effective. Songs like “Single ladies”, “Diva”, and “Video phone” are more of the same skeletal atonal tuneless stuff like “Ring the alarm” or “Get me bodied”, while much of Disc 1 passes by harmlessly making no impact. Disc 1 sounds like an attempt to muscle in on Leona Lewis’ territory; “Halo” was co-written by the same chap that co-wrote “Bleeding love” for Leona and was apparently originally intended for Leona. The songs also largely lack the vocal dexterity she displayed in her first CD on songs like “Be with you”, “Yes” or “Speechless”; her singing on practically every song except “If I were a boy” is basically the same. Also, she seems unable to recapture the charm and excitement that was “Crazy in love”.

If you go for the regular edition of the album, you miss most of the best songs (”Smash into you”, “Hello”, “Ego”, “Scared of lonely”, and bonus tracks “Save the hero” and “Why don’t you love me”). It’s really pointless getting the regular edition. All 11 songs on the regular edition could have conveniently fit onto a single disc.

I won’t be surprised if months down the line, she releases a deluxe deluxe edition including the good songs that should have been on the album in the first place, much like she did with “B’day”.

get over it

lmao at the psychotic rihanna stan posting over and over under different names.

beyonce- 3 #1 albums in a row
rihanna- not one #1 album after 3 albums, and her best album to date sold 160,000 first week. LMAO

so i understand why rihanna stans are mad.

and as for the britney and alicia stans. everybody thinks britney is a total nutcase. and no matter what her album sells, her reputation is trashed and she will never be as talented as beyonce.

as for alicia, she may have sold 700k first week, but BEYONCE worst c.d bday still outsold alicia best c.d worldwide.

beyonce is the richest, most successful, and most popular black female artist of this generation period. get over it.

Beyonce has fallen off!1

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 /

I don’t have a lot of good to say for this album. “I Am…Sasha Fierce” appears to be an ambitious creative undertaking by the undeniably talented Beyonce, and in many ways it is. But it’s that very ambition that nearly destroys this project.

From the first single off the album “If I Were a Boy” you get a distinct feeling that Beyonce is trying very hard to branch out into different territory. The song is quite understated for her, although her signature shatter every piece of glass within a 3 mile radius pipes do start in during the somewhat over-dramatic chorus. Still, it’s a nice song and accessible enough.
The next track on the album is “Halo” which is one of the stronger songs on the whole album. It has a big sound and it really compliments Beyonce’s style without sounding too much like her previous work. Unfortunately after that things start to go downhill. “Disappear” sounds interesting for the first 10 seconds, but then the generic drum machines kick in and the rest of the song is a slow, bland mess. “Broken-Hearted Girl” is almost indistinguishable from the track before it, and it’s just as dull. “Ave Marie” has beautiful vocals and is a very nice song, but it’s not something most people will listen to constantly. “Satellites” almost reminds me of some type of trance music. It’s very understated, but it’s also nearly lifeless. Just try staying awake listening to that over and over again.

Then comes disc 2, “Sasha Fierce”. I expected this disc to really pick things up after a first disc full of disappointing slow songs that could barely even be deemed ballads. After all, Sasha Fierce is supposed to be the high-energy side of Beyonce that we’re all familiar with from her “B’Day” album. Well, it turns out that this time around “Sasha Fierce” barely even has a pulse. Things kick off with “Single Ladies” which sounds like a “B’Day” leftover, (that’s actually a good thing), and it really is what we expect from Ms. Fierce. But that turns out to be the only track that has anywhere near that much ferocity. Next is “Radio” which is a busy number, but still falls short somehow. I suppose it could go over well in a club with a bunch of flashing lights, but it can be quite noisy to listen to by oneself.
Next is “Diva” which just sounds like a female knockoff of Lil’Wayne’s “A Milli”. It’s very street and pompous and will probably annoy anyone who isn’t a fan of that generic hip-hop sound.
“Sweet Dreams” is a respectable track if for no other reason than that it’s obviously different, but for some reason it’s yet another song I can’t bring myself to listen more than a few times. Honestly, it doesn’t sound like it really fits in with the rest of the songs anyway.
The next track “Video Phone” is just too street for me. The production is uninspired and it’s lacking energy just like the rest of “Sasha Fierce”. And it’s about making video phone porn. Great.
If you want the REAL Sasha Fierce you’ll have to go listen to “B’Day” because this is honestly the ghettofied version of Beyonce in many respects. And it doesn’t suit her well. Perhaps we have her new husband to thank for that.

I’d say if you have to buy this album then get the Deluxe version. The extra tracks “Ego”, “Scared of Lonely”, “Hello”, “Smash Into You”, and “That’s Why You’re Beautiful” are almost all superior to anything on the standard edition. I believe Beyonce knows this which is why she’s releasing “Ego” as her next single.

I have to say that overall I feel the first disc from “I Am…” will bore many listeners, and the second disc will leave them wondering if Sasha Fierce is the woman they’ve seen strutting on stage to tracks like “Crazy In Love” and “Ring the Alarm” or a diva looking for street cred like on tracks “Diva” and “Video Phone”. I’ll give Beyonce props for trying something different with the first disc, but it’s really not enough. Both discs are a mish-mash of sounds that don’t gel together well and make it strikingly obvious that Beyonce was experimenting in the studio. Problem is, most of those experiments went awry, and those that didn’t seem too safe and boring.

I say download:
Ego
Scared of Lonely
Halo
If I Were a Boy
Single Ladies
Hello
Ave Marie

None of those tracks are outstanding, but at least they’re a cut above the rest of the mess.

A final note: I have NO clue why Beyonce decided to split this work into two disc. It was totally pointless, especially for the standard edition which only gives you 6 songs on one disc and 5 on the other. But even with the two standard discs conjoined, the extra tracks from the deluxe edition added, and the bonus tracks from Japan added as well, every song would fit on ONE disc with room to spare. The two disc thing proves to be little more than an annoyance and I hope Beyonce won’t do it again. I do feel that the whole thing is about record sales more than anything else.

Tasha Baby, I am not here to dispute you whether or not Michelle is dark. My problem is why is color even an issue, especially with Beyonce stans? Why is it that every time someone criticizes Beyonce, they have to be a dark woman. To me, this shows that color is an issue within our race. Melissa, you are right. Here it is, 2008, a black president leading a diverse cabinet, and yet here we are, discussing whether or not someone is jealous of Beyonce based on color. Where does it end?

In addition, we are very superficial about what makes someone a success as a person. Half the entertainers out there who were ever considered “the hottest chic” in the game,” have almost suffered some sort of mental breakdown, or they have confessed to somehow being unhappy. I also find it sad that none of the lists on this website that makes the claim that Beyonce is “The Hottest Chic in the Game” includes a personal pursuit of education.

and why has she sold over 100 million records and is the richest most successful and most popular black female artist right now if no one is checking for her.

Why are you not on Forbes list, if your going to clown someone make sure your not in the same boat. I swear you Beyonce worshippers are the dumbest people ever. Her album is #1 because stupid people like you purchased 2 or more copies, its not hard to go # 1, when Kanye releases he will be #1, when Britney releases she will be #1, even when Rihanna releases in 09 she will be #1 because her fan base grew. Beyonce’s fan base has not grown, she is still selling the same amount of units as BDay did. Beyonce is Beyonce she should be pulling in over 600k like Alicia, Kanye or Wayne, but she is not because she is wack, her fans are the ones giving her money that is nothing to brag about because while you are starving Beyonce is eating and im eating because she is not getting one dime of my hard earned money….I dont care how much she has in the bank, there are people with more money than her, and she is not using it to feed the poor, or change the world….she is more concered with fooling people into believing she is an icon. You should be mad she released a white album and and black album, but no you stupid people dont see that she is practicing segregation. Also, if she sold only 500k units and her stalkers bought more than one copy that means only about 250k people bought her album, not millions. This chick is all about smoke and mirrors, I wouldnt doubt if her people bought a few thousand (its not impossible).

Okay so people think Britney Spears is a nutcase, I love her and so do alot of people. That is why her album is not out for another 2 weeks but people are paying more attention to her than Beyonce. Also you said Beyonce is the best “black” artist, that limits her. I am black and I want to be the best period not just the best “black” whatever. So good job #180, for making yourself sound uneducated.

Also yes B’day has sold a couple more thousand albums than Alicia “I am” but you seem to forget B’day was released a whole year before Alicia keyes album. So you didn’t make a good point there. Also how do you explain Beyonce selling 20 million records worldwide, while Alicia Keyes has sold 40 million records. Also her world tours do better than Beyonce. If anything Alicia is on her way to being an ICON.

Beyonce is more popular just because she is overly sexual that is why she will NEVER be an icon.

Just face it Rih Rih stans. Rihanna had her time. Don’t be all upset because you know Beyonce is running the game ONCE AGAIN, actually she never did stop because of they way y’all talk about her, but just relax. Do you seriously think Rihanna will go down in history? Honestly. She’s just one of those just for the moment girls. She will not be remembered a few years from now, trust me. Beyonce of course will. Everyone knows Beyonce and she will be talked about years to come. Until Rihanna does something outstanding, I might believe she will be talked about next year but no, she was just the commercial until Bey came back on the spotlight.

Since you seem so sure on this “icon” crap, list 3 people today that you believe will be Iconic.

Alicia Keys is great, I love her, but she’s one of those people that if she sat back for a least 2 years, she would be forgotten. Not like Alicia who, but not cared for. To me, Beyonce has that star quality that years down the line another huge superstar would say they were inspired by Beyonce. She inspires many people, especically with her performaces. She is definitely one of the greatest performers today.

@191 and 14 year olds are the record buyers these days. Beyonce fan base has grown up and only you 15 and 16 year olds buy her music now. the fans she had with DC has moved on and you highschool and early 20’s are the only ones checking for her. you are all in the same boat. dumb young people who don’t know squat about real singers liks Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin. Fantasia, JHUD, Patti Labelle.
the music industry has sunk to an all time low if beyonce is the best there is. I’ll take alicia keys over beyonce any day of the week. at least her music has some depth.
rihanna may not be the best singer, but she is definitely more interesting and fahsionable more like a madonna type. beyonce is just boring and fake and the music business is not all that it used to be. Icon???? NOT.

I think everyone everyone can agree #186 is delusional. She is not #1 on the Forbes list and that list is based on popularity, she also didn’t have much competition when she brought out B’day. I mean common how can you trust a list that says Beyonce has more wealth than somone like Angeline Jolie, whose movies last year brought in a billion. Also Beyonce has not sold 100 million albums so get your facts straight, go check soundscan, she is not even close to half of that. Please go to sleep.

If hits is right that means she is not selling more than her last CD. Taylor Swift sold more than Beyonce. Alicia stay selling more than Beyonce in first week sales. Norah Jones sales more than Beyonce. Miley probably sales more than Beyonce. Did ya’ll see the picture of Beyonce stealing the style of Rihanna on PH. Check it out. I don’t think Rihanna and Beyonce are not competition. I wanna see if Beyonce can do what Alicia did with her last album and be number one multiple times off the same CD.

@192..

Ignorance definition = you.

People like are infact the delusional ones. This why you are unable to see beyond your hateful thoughts. Admiring somebody is a totally different concept from praising an individual. I adore Beyonce, but I am no where near praising her. I know that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the only way to go. Just because I buy her albums and confont people on their negative comments toward her does not mean that I praise her. Of course I know Bey is not the most perfect human to grace this Earth but she has had a lot of great accomplishments. And I give my plaudits to her when and where it is due. I also don’t approve of everything she does either.

And also, why do you feel like your opinion is so right? Just because you think Beyonce’s cd is wack does not mean other people do. There is no specific way that one should feel while listening to this album. I enjoyed it, you didn’t. If you don’t like her, why would you even bother checking her songs and listening to the whole cd? It makes no sense.

Stop making excuses for her cd being number 1. You people just CANNOT and WILL NOT admit when Beyonce does something phenomenal. Why? Is there a reason why you envy her so much? I’m sure she hasn’t done anything to lower your self esteem or hurt you. Beyonce’s cd is number one because she has many fans and others that love her and bought the cd. Do you really want to know how many stores were sold out? Everyone is saying how many stores were sold out in the matter of hours. So I’m guessing, when Beyonce’s cd is number 1 her Daddy has to buy them AS IF she has no fans but when Lil’Wayne’s cd is number 1 it is because he is that hot. GTFOHWTM!

Go clean out your mouth because you are talking pure shit.

Alicia is a world renowned accomplished musician who writes REAL songs, she doesnt STEAL people’s songs! Alicia could go away for 5 years and come back and shut the game down. NO ONE is a world -wide international smash hit. in 10 -20 years people will be singing Fallen, If I ain’t got you, NO ONE, etc. name one damn song that people will sing in 10-20 years of beyonce’s??? freakum dress? kitty kat? single ladies??? bwaahahhaaaaaaaaaa! puleasse. and beyonce can’t afford to go away 2-3 years and do absolutely nothing because she is the kind of chick who knows she must stay out there to stay relevant. alicia is not a media whore and did go on hiatus came back and still shut the game down. don’t even play. ms. keys is straight up talent and does not need to dance in a leotard. Alicia is the icon. beyonce is just a sex selling bimbo with no real songwriting talent with a thin voice that is so damn overrated. she’s not an artist. Alicia is an ARTIST. silly azz kids, LOL children sit down!

@198, Kanye comes out next week so she won’t be number 1 next week. Her stans would think 30,000 album sold is great. They idolize everything she does. That is why she brings out crappy material, because she knows her stans will buy garbage. Sad!

Beyonce has those suburban white girls along with those twirling gum ghetto tricks calling her name. And you really want to talk about fan base? She’s already #1 in Japan. Do Japanese even know who Rihanna is? Honestly, let’s get it together.

To all those people who are arguing with me. Why are you arguing with me? Do you not notice that when you argue with me over a celebrity neither of us know, and you are trying to make me ‘dislike’ Beyonce, I guess, you are just showing how much star power she has. If she was so ‘wack’ and ‘fake’ she wouldn’t be in this position right now. We wouldn’t be discussing her either. But like I said, you all are helping me prove my point.

I don’t knw what world you idiots live in but Michelle Obama is considered a dark skinned woman. Most people associate brown skin with being dark skin. Why do blacks go to such extremes and create shades to eliminate the possibility of being called dark skinned> what is so wrong with it? For example if you are light skinned no one has a problem being called that. For some reason darker women want to be called everything except dark skinned> I don’t get it. I am brown myself and I know people consider me dark skinned and I have no problem with it. Not trying to brag but I’m attractive and love my skin color! I am sure Michelle Obama has no problem being called dark skinned! Melissa you are dead right girl!! blacks have some head issues when it comes to color of skin and it must be left over from slavery days!!!!
beyonce fans are the absolute worst about this. I like beyonce and find it offensive that someone would think I don’t becuase of her skin color??? that’s absurd.

It amazes me that ppl go out their way to spew hate and ignorance on another human being. Whether its Beyonce, Rihanna, Alicia Keys anybody, if u don’t like an artist why bother with them, u keep talking abt them is only making them more popular. The detest that some of you all show for these celebrities is sickening, does it make you feel better to down another human being. Cause some of you all have went past being critical of a person, it is all about saying things that are very hateful. Its like what are u trying to prove this person can’t sing, this person is overrated, this person is stupid, dumb, bimbo, stuck up, etc. But none of you all know the ppl that u spew so much hate for. I rather say positive and uplifting things about a person any day than to be mean spirited and hateful. Why a person who you don’t care for or don’t considered talented even consuming your time??? Are u going to win award by saying your favorite artist is better than them??? This post is about Beyonce mag cover and radio interview, and you have the haters running as usual to down the girl who doesn’t affect your livelihood.

You make these post go up in numbers. Why dont you just ask CL for a job already??

all these comments and no one mentions that fine bodyguard..#215 the comments are funny. including the ones where the people are writing paragraphs about people hating on Beyonce. Saying that others are evil.. Its a trip but its funny.. beyonce gets the most comments i think because people like to go back and forth. She gets more than Barack. I only see it on the loop though. I like most blogs but people on here like to argue alot so the other post get left behind. on other blogs most topics garner at least 100+. She’s like Walmart everyone picks on walmart because its a big company whether they like it or hate it. I’m on the fence she was my girl when she came out with DIL but then she started to get a big EGO…

Coming in different shades has nothing to do with black people being afraid of being called dark skinned. So raise your hand if you’re dark skinned!? Light skinned people are alwats considering it a compliment to be called light skinned…who’s repping for the dark skinned women?!?

I blame the media, because people who worship celebs only see beyonce, rihanna, alicia keys, Cassie, etc. and they are sold to us as being the standard of beauty, our own people will put down Kelly Rowland, and say she can never be as beautiful as beyonce, but if she were 10 shades lighter? you numb skulls would be worshipping her too.

It is slave mentality when blacks who ARE dark skinned don’t want to be called such..

She has a huge fanbase? “If I were boy” still hasn’t made it to #1 on billboard. ” Single Ladies” can hardly be found on the charts, not even on the RnB charts. And you know Matthew and his people have been downloading like crazy, to make people think everyone wants it. I will say this if she sells a “milli” I will give her props.

Look. Its plenty of females who are reppin “dark skin” women.. I just think its ignorant that people think that African Americans come in only “light or dark”. Im my opinion thats like a little racist.. IDk. Say what you wanna say…Why would you want to be called something your not. Thats just like calling beyonce “white” and calling nia long “black as shit”. Thats a false statement. I know im right.

This is one of those times where the motto “speak it into being” will not work. No matter what Beyonce or her stans say, the chick is not a living legend. She’s not a legend or an icon. Try again in about 10 years.

No way!

221 you won’t be giving her props because there is no way in hell she will sell a million in one week unless all the stans used all their rent, food, and tuition money to buy as many cd’s as they can carry out of walmart lol

Why all the fakery beyonce? fake tits and azz does not make a girl look good!
Real tits and azz is what a man wants!! no butt pads and tissue stuffed bra like in the above pictures. plus spanks and girdles to hold her waist in to make it look like she has a narrow waist!!! hour glass figure my azz, beyonce is fat!

Peep game folks! The strategy is to only ship a certain amount to stores on the release date to see how sales go (so they won’t have to buy back so many) and to create demand, because based on feedback from the blogs and youtube posts, people really weren’t feeling the album. So basically they create a shortage in order to increase demand, and then talk about how well the album is doing is because it’s selling out everywhere.
