  3. Taj

    Can not wait for the sultry excellent music of Maxwell!!!! It is going to be a great birthday present for myself to get his new cd.

  4. Mrsjones

    OOOH! i can’t wait for the tour to come to the states! i hope she comes to oklahoma city, or at least dallas or somewhere close so i can finally get to see her perform! Team Bey!

  5. lali

    Beyonce’s cheaper tickets reflect our economic troubles and it’s a bit of bad psychology as well. In short, she wants some money. You would go for her more if you thought you were getting the deal you desperately need.

  6. Mrsjones

    ok dallas july 5 i will be there!

  7. I am really excited to hear about maxwell!!!!!!! yey

  8. Jeremy

  12. syn'ceRe

    ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME MAXWELL!!!!!! I LOVE DA SNIPPET OF PRETTY WINGS LOL….

  13. Tashie B

    Glad Maxwell finally has a album release date. It has been too long!!

    I guess Bey’s too big for my town, even though her hubby came through. Artists don’t understand that the “smaller” markets are great cause we are STARVED for entertainment we don’t have to travel for. We even have a nice new arena for our WHACK college basketball team.

  14. I’ll get to see B @ the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.

  15. KIDDO

    Solange did her thing, I really enjoyed the song, too cute!

  16. Nothing But Love

    I thought bey already put out the US dates….

  17. PEEPLPAYATTENSHUN

    I GUESS I SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT MAXWELL’S RELEASE IS PROGRESSING BUT I’M NOT. STILL TO VAGUE ON THE DETAILS

  18. Bout time Bey!!! I was waiting on my Dallas date.

    4th of July weekend is going to be major fun now!

  19. vj

    Maxwell its about time! He still look good!
    Beyonce $20 seats girl please it is not that serious!
    Solange next!

  20. Damn it she aint coming to O-H-I-O!!

    Oh wells…guess I gotta travel somewhere to see her..I just hope I can get off of work…ya’ll know its a recession & I cant be messing up my money tho! Bey may have to wait ;)

  21. Topman

    I would go to a Solange concert over a Beyonce one. Her music is much more unique.

  22. yd18

    my favorite maxwell song is whenever wherever whatever…Omg I jam to that everyday…lol and especially his cover of kate bush womans work…classic…glad to see him back…

    I will be going to beyonce tour…..hopefully she comes back to philly!!!!……
    solange killed it…shes grew on me soo much……luv her…

  23. PYT

    Not checking for B sorry just not a fan though she’s got a great voice and anyone who can fall down stairs on stage and can get up swinging props are due but I AM? No sorry. Love, Love Solo!
    ….now that I’ve got that out the way I just wanna say DAMN,DAMN, DAMN!!! My prayers have finally been answered. I can not wait…I think no yep Ima little wet now…jeeze

  24. PYT

    and by swinging I meant that ponytail lol!

  25. Beyonce Stop Trying to be Rhi

    Thank Goodness Beyonce , will not come to my city , she’s so Yesterday ….. JOKES

    JOKES , is she trying to look like Rhi with them colored EYE’S , that whole 80′s look seem’s like Rhi style , Beyonce have some PRIDE .

  26. Shanice

    I’m so excited for this tour! Beyonce is always the beast on stage! She gives you every penny you spent back in her performance! She was definitely born to own the stage! Love that she is also giving back by overing the $20 tickets at each date! What a phenomenal woman!

  27. her concerts not even sold out

    Beyonce had problems to sell tickets in Canada. there is a video on youtube and the whole left side was empty. Also her Europe dates arent sold out either.

    She’s copying so many great artist on Award shows, so i do not want to see her in concert. That Britney and Kyle Minogue copie at The Mtv Awards and Bet Awards was just mean.

  28. "Julius Caesar is the worst book I've ever read."

    *GASPS*

    Beyonce isn’t coming to the WONDERFUL MASSACHUSETTS!! Is she crazy!!

    I was really looking forward to her coming to Boston but I’ll just go to New York. :(

  29. MsEsquire

    #24

    Do you really think she’s providing 20.00 seats because she’s “giving back.” I don’t really see it that way. She’s trying to let tickets go because she’s having difficulty selling out otherwise…Doesn’t look good, ya know…

    Oh wells, whatever saves face…

  30. H-Town

    I have some fam who saw her in Seattle. Show was decent, a lot like the last tour. Only one or two awkard moments. We love her bcuz she’s a home town girl but I’m on Beyonce overload. Waaay too much Bey. (Stans don’t yell at me) :-(

    I might see the conert, I won’t see the movie. Screenings were bad

  31. London

    what’s so phenomenol about offering seats for 20 dollars? It’s only to ensure that the seats are FILLED because apparently there were alot of seats empty during her opening concert, or one of the early ones, not sure. As for me i got my ticket ready for London May 26th!!Beyonce baby!!

  32. London

    @ H-Town

    I’m a bit confused. How did she perform in Seattle when the tour dates for the U.S have just come out?

  33. Phillyfashionista

    @ # 32, how much were your tickets for the London show?

  34. CAP'N CRUNCH PEANUT BUTTER

    I am so excited about this tour. B was my first concert in ’07 at the Beyonce Experience and it was AMAZING! I can’t wait to see her again. I’m in Las Vegas so that is great that she’s going to be here for FOUR nights.

    Ooooh Maxwell, you don’t know how long I have been waiting on some new music from you! I was just listening to “Til’ The Cops Come Knockin” earlier. His voice and his……everything is sexy! i’m excited.

    I like how Solange started T.O.N.Y. off. I love to see her growth and she’s getting better and better. Keep up the good work Solo!

  35. Jo

    I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT MAXWELL!!!! He ‘s makes the sexiest music!!!

  36. Marquies

    the devil is a liar how can anyone believe the ridiculousness that is MTO, there a bunch of liars, if one or two shows arent sold-out, OMG!!! she cant sell out an arena she has only did 5 dates of this tour, 4 in canada one in Seattle how can anyone say her tour is selling bad

    peep game ladies and gentlemen

    95% of her entire european leg is sold out
    ALL of her uk dates are sold-out except an acouple additional dates that just got added you kno the one MTO posted and got played b/c they said the concerts tommorow noing good and well the concert aint till the end of may

  37. JuS'sKe FResH

    Can’t wait for my boy Maxwell to drop his new LP… the soul legend has truly been missed,

    Solange killed that Jimmy Fallon performance still one of the best albums of 2008 in my opinion and I would rather see her in concert than her sister especially since she can’t sell tickets, I’ll wait to it hit DVD!

  38. London

    @ 34. cost £45.

  39. Toni

    Can’t wait til she comes to ATL, she is amazing in concert!

  40. London

    @ 38
    Don’t you think Solange would have a much harder time selling tickets than Beyonce?

  41. pat

    “In order to make her concerts affordable to all her fans,” SINCE WHEN HAS THE KNOWLES KLAN DONE ANYTHING TO MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE TO ANYBODY ELSE….LOL

    nice way to blame it on the recession and her dwindling fan base…..lol…ill be in attendance but come on now….lol

  42. Beyonce Fan!!

    Beyonce is only selling ticket so low so her stans can scream she sold out….Many of you really fall into Matthews trappings. European dollar is greater then US so when she comes here I wouldnt doubt if she is not sold out. This is why she has added more dates in overseas because she wants their rich money.

  48. Beyonce Fan!!

    Get ready for the chance to win tickets to an EXCLUSIVE Beyonce concert…

    That’s right, the diva herself is teaming up with Trident chewing gum to host an additional night of her sell-out I AM…world tour at the O2 on November 15th!

    The yummy gum company Trident are taking over the O2 and giving away every single seat for FREE!

    Beyonce will be flown in especially for all the lucky winners to perform one final date of her sell-out tour. All you have to do to be in with a chance to win is buy a pack of Trident chewing gum.

    From April 20 every pack of Trident gum that you buy could count as a potential ticket to the amazing event. There’s no limit on the amount you can buy either and it includes every flavour from any shop – the more you buy the more chance you have of winning so stock up!

    How does it work then? It’s really easy, click here to register with Trident. Once you’ve bought the gum, log on to the website and enter the last four digits of the bar code and that’s it. You’re in for the draw! Woop!

    It seems 2009 is Beyonce’s year, and she’s grabbed it with both hands. She started the year performing at the inauguration of US President Barack Obama (an achievement in itself), sold out her world tour in hours, and will release two films before the end of the year, Cadillac Records and Obsessed, which she produced too!

  49. kld

    BEYONCE’S TOUR IS SOLD OUT BECAUSE OF THE 4 MILLION PEOPLE THAT PURCHASED COPIES OF I AM……LETS SEE WHAT THE STATES HOLD AFTER APRIL 20TH

  50. Amethyst

    I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, I LOVE…LOVE…LOVE SOLANGE!!!

    OH YEAH…AND I’M TOO EXCITED ABOUT MAXWELL’S COMEBACK.

  51. kld

    YOU CAN TELL THE POSTERS WHO WORK FOR MUSIC WORLD ENTERTAINMENT, THEY START CALLING OTHERS HATERS AND POSTING SPAM ABOUT HER CONCERTS AND ADVERTISEMENTS.
    THIS CHICK SHOULD NOT AFFECT YOUR LIFE TO THE POINT YOU WORSHIP HER. BEYONCE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR YOU BUT ASKING FOR MONEY AND YOUR GIVING IT TO HER LIKE IDOTS. IN DIVA SHE BRAGGED TO YOU ABOUT HAVING SO MUCH MONEY SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT, THEN YOU IDOTS BRAG TO OTHERS ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY SHE MADE, NOT THINKING YOU GAVE HER THE MONEY.

  52. Beyonce Fan!!
