ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS…..IM GOING BACK AND FORWARD WITH YOU BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOUR GETTING THE ATTENTION YOU DESERVE, I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO GO HOME AND SLICE THEIR WRIST BECAUSE OF BEING IGNORED.

Beyonce needs to seriously RE-INVENT herself next go around or better yet release another DC album. Honestly I liked her better as an artist when she was a member of DC. & when I say RE-Invent herself I mean from an artistry perspective. Explain = In other words is this all she has to offer so far as an artist. I want to see more risks creatively. I guess my comment would bring to mind some of the haters opinion about her not being original;

KLD,you crack me up.I feel the same way.Voicing your opinion on here about beyonce or rihana can get you stoned to death.GOD forbid you speak against either one of them,its like committing a mortal sin.i don’t understand and the last time i checked this was not a beyonce only page,i see 2 other artists on here so I’m not sure what some of her fans or stans are talking about.i think that beyonce stans should be placed in one area and have Etta james,Jennifer holiday or Aretha franklin,Chrisette michelle, etc played to them so they can snap out of this obsessive state that they are in.

THANKS FOR POSTING ALL THAT BEYONCE FAN!!

Some people need to be told. They want to listen to the fake ass lies that Beyonce isn’t selling out her European/ UK dates when she is. The majority are ALL SOLD OUT!! Beyonce is MAJOR, and her tickets here were expensive, we didn’t get no $20 tickets. The pickets here were $75+. My girl is going to sell out in the US.

@ # 34- Tickets in the UK were £49.50. That’s the equivalent of $73.24, (not including booking fee).

Beyonce Fan!

I’m also a fan of Mrs Carter but geesh…you can take it down a notch or two. And as a fan of hers, I will admit that while Bey is selling well, she did just recently GIVE AWAY 13 thousand tickets at one European venue and cancel a few of her smaller European dates where demand wasn’t as high. There is no shame in admitting that.

LOL @ THE HATERS GETTING MAD COURSE THE FACTS WERE POSTED. HER EUROPEAN TOUR IS SOLD OUT(95%) AND THEY HAD TO ADD NEW DATES. SORRY HATERS BEYONCE WILL NOT BE PULLING A JANET JACKSON (CANCELING AND BLAME IT ON RECESSION).BEYONCE DOESN’T HAVE TO LOWER THEM TICKET PRICES,COZ SHE STILL GETS PAID REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE TICKETS SELLS,BUT THEY ARE SELLING AND SHE’S BEING CONSIDERATE OF HER FANS. LIKE IT’S BEEN SAID ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS,HATING ON BEYONCE ISN’T GOING TO MAKE YOUR FAVORITE BETTER OR MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN HER. ALREADY GOT MY TICKET AND READY FOR THE SHOW!

I actually think solange sings better than her sister, solange has way more range and sings well in both upper and lower registers

One of the reasons why CL is losing its readership is because of the petty arguments on ths site over Beyonce- she really is not that important! Head over to bey’s stan sites if you love her soo much and stop ruining CL!

WHEN BEYONCE “GRACES THEIR CITY”???? HMMMM.

125.

Thanks

Saturday, April 18, 2009 /

Has anyone noticed that Beyonce is not playing Stadiums only Arenas, which are smaller? Why is Beyonce performing at the Wynn which only holds 1200, and not the MGM that holds 15,000 or Mandalay Bay which holds 12,000? The Knowles are saving face right now because they know the tickets are not moving, the economy is bad and Beyonce is annoying at this point in her career and most people are running from her rather than to her. BDay made only 50 million compared to Madonna, Van Halen, Celine Dion’s 200 million. Now for I Am 20,000 seats are only $20 and they are giving 13,000 seats away for free just to fill the arena and say she sold out. Some of you are gullible to think that she is in high demand right now, but she is not….the same 4 million people who purchased her album are the same one’s purchasing concert tickets. Check the arena capacity like someone else said and you will find the #’s are low. Beyonce is only visiting big cities because she is trying to fill the seats and get that money, this is why she is not coming to your town. Look at the Canada performances on Youtube there were many empty seats, I know many of you called it a practice but im sorry no on charges or gets paid for a practice. Everything im stating are facts, research it.

126.

oh

Saturday, April 18, 2009 /

why are people talin about bee like she regular chick the women been in the game 10yrs+ and has earnrd her respect bee is touring for her fans if she wonts to sell them for five bucks so what u dsay bee fan are RUINING concrete loop but the people who are tryin to trash bee what are they doin showing how we hate on eachother positivity please dont hate on bee if she wonts to sell her 2,000 for twenty bucks so what she dont need the money so obviously she thinking about how the economy effects others not her

127.

oh

Saturday, April 18, 2009 /

and thanks those arent facts 2000 not 20,000 lol and are u serious on 50mill but modanna celine and whoever werent on top of the forbes most PAID no wwhat

I’m so happy to hear my dude Maxwell is back with new music!!!!!!!!!!

As for Beyonce, I respect her as an artist, but does she think people want to see her all the time? I smell some insecurity and fear of rejection Bey. People get tired of seeing the same face over and over again, doing things that artist who rarely get recognition can do better. Beyonce, take a cue from other artist. Go home for a while and live life away from the camera. Give people a chance to miss you.

Beyonce you are all over the place. Do me a favor and disappear for a while. You are not the end all or be all so please get a clue and take a cooking class or something… Learn how to live your life like other artist do. Give the public a chance to miss you. Do you have a fear of being alone with yourself?

131.

Surely U Jest

Saturday, April 18, 2009 /

I like Bey just as much as the next *cough* stan but yea um sorry but the only reason she went down on the tickets at each show is because she isnt sellin like she usually does. And its in part of her doin the same stuff. I have friends who went to a show and they said it was almost as if it was the BDay experience all over again with songs from her I AM album just included.The bulk of her “new” outfits and performances had been seen in other atrists shows before. And as for the ppl who keeps postin that she’s old out overseas…..DUH ITS OVERSEAS! No offense to the ppl who live there but who doesnt sell out overseas? And as fr the person who said Rihanna will never do it like Bey bcuz of her lack of vocals…..The best selling tour right now is held by Britney Spears…..someone who can’t sing like Bey. So try again. And as or sales? Rihanna has Bey right now. True I AM sold over 3 mill but u gotta remember its adouble album which means she ACTUALLY is bearly over 2 mill worldwide bcuz they count doublw albums as two. Why do u think Speakerboxx/The Love Below is certified diamond yet it only sold 5 mill? Bcuz its two albums in there equalling the sales to 10 mill. Like I said I like Bey too but dont put her up so high when she isnt there yet. Let her GET to legendary staus…..when she earns it.And Maxwell? WHat took u so long? lol

it was just reading the article about Bey’s North American tour dates and i came accross 2 very intertesting finds.

MWE is the brainchild of President and CEO Mathew Knowles, the powerhouse management behind the success of Grammy Award-winners Beyonce and global phenomenon Destiny’s Child, the most successful “girl group” in the history of pop music.

Music World is one of the most successful labels and management companies in the world with over 200 million records sold to date including releases by Destiny’s Child, Beyonce, Solange Knowles, Michelle Williams, Sunshine Anderson, the “Dreamgirls” Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack, “Roll Bounce” Soundtrack and the popular Music World Master Series releases which include Chaka Khan and The O’Jays.

WOW I GUESS THERES NO MENTION OF MS KELLY AT ALL. SHADY ASS DUDE YO.

REPPIN MS KELLY FOR LIFE!

133.

Nichole

Saturday, April 18, 2009 /

Of course she “sold out” overseas. The tickets are cheap for one.

You have people like Madonna with outrageous prices, and sells out a show like their is no tomorrow.

Britney has the top selling tour of 09, thus far.

If Bey is the “hottest chick in the game”, why does she perform in places with no more than 2,000-3,000 seats?

Britney lipsynches in concert, and every last one of her shows are completely sold out. Including her 8 dates in London.
