Watched yesterday. It was a cute interview.
Nice shots.
Saw the show.. it was okay but I haven’t heard any hype for an Oscar for Cadillac Records….
Oprah was so FUNNY! But, I liked Beyonce’s reply back when speaking about Jay Z and the marriage thang
1st wahoooooooooo
love u bee
she is so beautiful whatever she does
Thus far this is her best interview..
Performance was nice, like we already knew it would.. Beyonce, Alicia, and Mary J always do a very nice live performance. The emotions they put into it makes the song even more…
Thanks for posting this b/c I was watching it and didn’t record it and missed the part about Jay Z and rewinded it to that part on my DVR and then switched channels and missed all of it. TMI oh well:~)
Reports: Kanye West arrested in England
Nov. 14, 2008, 11:46 AM EST
LONDON (AP) — Rapper Kanye West was arrested after a fracas outside a nightclub but released without charge, British media reported Friday.
The Press Association news agency and others reported that the 31-year-old rapper was detained early Friday after an incident involving a photographer outside the Tup Tup Palace bar in Newcastle, northern England.
Police said only that a 31-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of assault after an incident at a nightclub. They said he was later released without charge. British police do not usually identify suspects who have not been charged.
The Tup Tup Palace said West visited the club after his gig in Newcastle Thursday but could not confirm the arrest.
A spokeswoman for West did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
West was arrested last month at Los Angeles International Airport after he was filmed struggling with a paparazzo. He was not charged.
West is playing dates around Britain as part of his Glow in the Dark tour.
SHE MUST HAVE BEEN WEARING 8 PAIRS OF SPANX AND A GIRDLE UNDER THAT ENSEMBLE BECAUSE HOME GIRL COULDN’T SIT BACK IN THAT CHAIR OR RELAX THE WHOLEEEEE TIME. SHE GET’S CREDIT FOR SMILING THROUGH THE PAIN CAUSE YOU COULD TELL SHE HAD SOMETHING CONSTRAINING TIGHTLY AROUND HER WAIST/MID SECTION THAT WAS KEEPING HER FROM SITTING PROPERLY, BUT TO GIVE HER A WAIST.
IT WAS THE BEST INTERVIEW SHE’S EVEN DONE….I STILL HATE THE CD…I THINK IT’S TRASH.
why dont her or jay z ever give straight answers?
they not togerther
!
@7
HE WAS ARRESTED, BUT HE WAS RELEASED HOURS LATER, SO HE’S OUT. HE SUPPOSEDLY SHOVED A CAMERA-MAN. AT LEAST HE DIDN’T DESTROY THE CAMERA AGAIN, I DON’T THINK.
This was funny. The part where she said she was the master of Hamburger Helper had me cracking up. And then she said I know how to season some food and make ice water, thats about it. lmao, I feel you girl. I am not much of a cooker myself.
How is Kanye 31 ?!?! I thought he was like 26 or 27, a least that’s how he acts.
Those photographers need to leave him alone, damn the man jus lost his mom! it has always been just him and her. He goign through some sh*t right now
But, at least it’s not JHud b/c then we would REALLY have some problems if they started getting in her face
This was one of her best interviews. I guess Oprah will bring that out of a person. She was more laid back.
And her album is a banger!!!! November 18th go get it yall.
Damn LOOK AT THOSE ENORMOUS HUGE EARS SHE HAS
@ 8 LOL!!! at that girdle comment!!!
she’s pretty, good interview……
beautiful, bey u better work.
……..Beyonce is very pretty, she has a really good singing voice, but there’s
…….something about her talking that annoys that hell out of me, maybe its her accent.
I saw the Oprah interview and I lived it. I feel like they caught her off guard with the song though, it sounded like she hit a few rough notes at the beginning as if she didnt have time to warm up, so she just went all out. All in all a great performance. I love that woman, but she does seem a lil unhappy lately, she prolly misses her man ( At least I hope thats what it is, and they’re not heading for splitsvill already.) They compliment each other so well. Proud of her success though. Do it Girl!
i saw it yesturday too, she looks so beautiful
I don’t watch Oprah, but she and Beyonce both did a good job. Oprah’s gift is definitely being able to draw her guests out – Beyonce definitely showed more personality in this interview than any other I’ve ever seen of her.
o man….
i am officially bey-overloaded……
I think her Texan accent is cute.
Good interview and she looked gorgeous.

Damn LOOK AT THOSE ENORMOUS HUGE EARS SHE HAS
maybe some other people *cough rihanna cough* should have bigger ears too so it could help them with their tone and pitch or better yet help them realize that they shouldn’t be singing!!! lololol…
and yes,i brought up rihanna!!! sue me!!! lmao!!!!
she lip synce the shit out that song
GREAT INTERVIEW……..Her Face is FLAWLESS…..
I Love Bey’s background singers, they sound soooo good.
….NOW I Know I’m late, but I just heard “Hello”…That woman vocals are SICKK!! This is her best album by far.
@ 24…Beyonce was singing live. You’re an idiot.
I saw tha interview yesterday and am not a fan of Beyonce at all ( jus watchn it w/ my moms) she gave an honest interview- that I have ever seen in her career being that I dont follow her Idk.
hre accent is annoying which is so funny- cuz Erykah Badu is from Texas too, and so is all those other girls from DC. Nyways w/e
Its friday go have drink or two…………… PPEACE!
@ J-scene….that was the nicest thing you’ve ever said on a Beyonce Blog…….and I actually laughed at your comment.
BTW….I loved Beyonce dress….And I love that she kept the All Girl Band and the background singers. Damn, them background singers can sing. And agian…I just heard “Hello”….I am soooo in love with that song.
“PUT A CLAP ON IT” she finally seemed real and not so robotic, we understand private, we all want our private lives, but this is the first time her tongue was not in a knot.
I love her band. And she did not lip-sync.
Maybe she should have kids after she is done with the promotion and 2009 tour, because Jay-Z is soooo ready for kids!
big headed bee with the “natural” look how precious…she just loves taking pictures of herself. what a ego maniac
awwww loved it…
@28
OH, NO PROB…..I’VE SAID NICE THINGS ABOUT HER BEFORE, BUT YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T NOTICE IT CAUSE IT FELL IN WITH ALL THE OTHER KISS ASS COMMENTS, SO ALL WAS GOOD IN YOUR WORLD….IT’S ONLY WHEN I MAKE A SO CALLED “NEGATIVE” COMMENT THAT IT’S RECOGNIZED, AND PEOPLE, SUCH AS YOURSELF, ATTACK ME AND OTHERS FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH IT’S JUST AN HONEST APPRAISAL….
I CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT…THAT’S ALWAYS BEEN MY POSITION ON THIS BLOG…I DON’T SAY THINGS JUST CAUSE EVERYONE IS SAYING IT, OR PEOPLE EXPECT YOU TO KISS CERTAIN CELEBRITIES BOOTY, I GIVE PROPS WHEN IT’S DUE…..
BUT HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET WHEN I MAKE THE NEXT COMMENT, NO ONE WILL REMEMBER THIS ONE….
@26
you are an idiot its my fucking Opinion dumb @ss to me she was lippin in that all to it….. in your eyes she wasn’t in mines she was to different opinions you get it,now get over it
@21. i agree.
good happy jolly interview.
AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE BEYONCE!!
Her cheeks lit up when Oprah asked about the marraige….aww. She was clearly embarrassed.
This was a very great interview. She seemed so happy
Bey is fierce and she looked gorgeous yesterday on O. I love that she has the all girl band for “If I Were A Boy”.
BEYONCE YOU THE SH*T GIRL.
LET THE FANS LOVE YOU AND THE HATAZ KEEP YOU SHINING. LOL
Thanks CL for posting this, I missed it
unfortunately…..thats why I looove this site…MINUS THE SH*TTY HATERS…THIS SITE IS A-1.
Anyways, Beyonce is one of the few CELEBRATED black female that truly inspire me to make it big through all obstacles…..stay strong and positive B and God will see you through it all….you dont owe this world sh*t….you are human, you deserve SOME PRIVACY…if ppl cant understand that F’EM. Nosy azz ppl just want sh*t to gossip about anywayz……
GO B!!!!
Meh… she talked about that same stuff she always talks about. And this is the third time I have heard the ice water and Hamburger Helper joke. It is tired, Bey.
Oprah should have let her answer her own questions instead of answering the tough ones for her.
eventhou she did good i kinda think she lipped to sumthing just wasn’t rite i don’t kno what it was but i love her anyway in everybody lipping these days so it don’t really matter
#39
Shut up. Beyonce is not an example of what a black woman can accomplish if she tries but instead what an attractive woman can accomplish… I don’t know why people don’t get this…
And, she’s going to be on SNL…though I thought they might have a bit of fun and do a mock Inauguration as a skit with her singing sexy songs I really hope they don’t…I’m thinking they might, though. I don’t want her to mess up the skits and my favorite show…she’s so inarticulate..it’s uncomfortable to watch…
She looked flawless on Oprah yesterday! She is so down-home and warm too!
This was a cute interview. I like how she explained the “morphing” into Sasha Fierce process lol. Oprah seemed enthusiastic.
Oh…and Kanye was dead ass wrong for that. You need to learn how to get by the media and papparzzi in the industry, no matter how much they buggin.
Celebs kill me with this privacy sh*t. Without the media, you wouldn’t be sh*t. Nobody would know your name or care. Without the media, you wouldn’t be able to sell your sh*t. So shut the hell up! You can’t come out and ask for media attention when you want our money but then scream privacy when you want. You can’t turn it off and on when you please.
Very nice interview – she was definitely more candid, which is refreshing. She certainly is beautiful though.
“I studied Etta James, but I did not want to mimic her. I wanted to do my own interpretation,” she says.
Liar. She’s admitted to being inspired by Diana Ross’s performance in “Lady Sings the Blues”…which earned her an Oscar nomination… Clearly, she couldn’t have wanted to do much of her own interpretation if the performance is influenced by ANOTHER ACTRESS’S PERFORMANCE OF A CHARACTER WITH AN ALMOST IDENTICAL STORYLINE! Did she forget she admitted that in another interview?
Does she steal everything? Seriously… This is why I say again: Beyonce is merely an example of an attractive woman milking her tendency to attract for all it’s worth.
Yeah i seen her. She looked really cute. Her interview was funny only because of Oprah. Oprah is good at what she does. All in all it wasnt bad.
I thought she was private and didn’t discuss her relationship. Why is she discussing it now?
Yeah chad you really are an idiot, i’m sorry to say, but even the biggest beyonce hater can tell she was singing that song. you just sound delusional
I think the interview was kinda like the one she did when she was doing Dreamgirls. She basically has been giving the same interview since 04. Her performance was nice but that acting at the end of “Boy” was horrid. If anybody is talking Oscar, it’s Papa Knowles.
Those pictures are cute and plain – look like a nice GAP commercial!
@42, that’s not her fault though. Pushy parents like Matthew and Tina took her out of school early, so she missed out on that aspect of life. I feel bad for her. Maybe she wanted to finish school, or get schooled on the road but with a father like hers, where was the time for all that?
I feel that once she truly settles down with Jay and finally cuts the strings from Matthew, she will learn a lot more. Yeah he did a lot for her career and it shows (she works her ass off), but he obviously neglected her education.
@ 35CHAD
…WTF…..saying that BEYONCE was lip singing is a FALSE statement…not an opinion. Do you not know how to distinguish a fact from an opinion. Here we go…saying Beyonce sings well is an OPINION…saying Beyonce was lip singing when she wasn’t is just NOT TRUE.
@Jscene….well the reason your negative comments stand out is because your post are about 30 paragraphs long and full of negative comments. So when I see your name (On a Beyonce post), I assume that it will be filled with nothing but negativity. This time, I was shocked.
im so tired of her beyonce overload. She just talking about her relationship with jay so she can sell them records. She better give that man a baby before he do a brad pitt on her and be with someone else. He about to hit 40.
@ 45…..your private life is just that…PRIVATE. Celebs do interviews, tv appearances, magazine articles….but when it comes to certain things, they want their privacy. Being a celeb doesn’t make you less human. We all want privacy sometimes.
@BEYONCE FOREVER
BUT MY COMMENTS ARE PARAGRAPHS LONG ON OTHER POSTS TOO, AND YOU NEVER SAY ANYTHING……I DON’T THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LENGTH OF MY COMMENTS, I THINK IT’S JUST THAT I’M SAYING SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE OR YOU DON’T AGREE WITH…..AND BECAUSE YOU LIKE BEYONCE SO MUCH, IT PROBABLY ACTUALLY HURTS YOUR FEELINGS…..
I actually really enjoyed this interview with Beyonce. I aint gone lie, for the past few weeks it sort of feels like she was being shoved down our throats with her upcoming project, even though I am a fan of hers ; but I feel like with this interview she seemed really cool. She seemed very down to earth and was funny. I really enjoy this side of Beyonce.
I think that some people think that you are less than articulate or lack education because you have a southern accent. I am from the South myself and have been stereotyped because of my “southern drawl”. However, I am no dummy. Let a northerner or someone say the same things a southerner says and it’s received a whole lot differently. I’m not sure why this is so though. hmmmmm. any thoughts?
You know @ 47 your right! I almost forgot Diana’s role in “The Lady Sings the Blues”
and if I recall when I saw Dream Girls from Netflix Beyonce ‘s part Deena talked about cursing and looking more as an actor to cross over into the acting role. I guess life and art can imitate each other. Kinda scary
But, honestly when I saw DreamGirls no offence to Beyonce but she cannot act!! I actually stop some parts and fast forward b/c her acting was bad It was like JLO in GiGi bad! Like WTF were you thinking still, cannot believe that the Golden Globe gave her a nod for supporting actress… but hey you fake it until you make it
@53 its false in your mind,beyonce lip synce just like everybody else watch her last dvd of her on tour in u will see what i’m talking about
i feel sorry for yall beyonce fan yall are all f@ggs that want to be her cause she kinda come off like drag queen
don’t know striaght man listen to her not one its only gays in girl that why yall have so much hate 4 other artish cause yall hate your damn self
its sad that you can’t take other ppls opinion
Bee lip synce now get over it
