MUSIC NEWS: BEYONCE NAMED BILLBOARD’S ‘WOMAN OF THE YEAR’

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Billboard announced Wednesday that multi award-winning artist and emerging icon Beyoncé will accept its coveted Woman Of The Year Award at the 2009 Billboard Women In Music Event, taking place on October 2nd in New York City.

The award is given to a trailblazing female recording artist that has inspired the music business with her success, leadership and new ideas. The honor also acknowledges the achievements of the artist over the past 12 months.

“Beyoncé is multi-platinum artist and a multi-talented woman who clearly embodies the qualities of excellence and achievement that the Billboard Woman Of The Year Award was created to honor. She has not only influenced pop culture with her hit songs and signature dance moves, but has inspired women everywhere with her unique style, business savvy and dedication to charitable causes,” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s Editorial Director.

“It is an honor to be named Woman of The Year by Billboard,” said Beyoncé. “I am humbled by this award.”

Beyonce or “Sasha Fierce”

i can no longer tell the difference

is a remarkably talented women a gift from god which was stolen from satan.

Its sad to see what she had to become and what she had to sell in order to get where she is.

Ugh!

As much as I can’t stand her fakeness and all her lying I must admit her songs are very good. That’s the only thing I like about her - her music. Hate her performances 99% of the time!

WOW, congrats Beyonce, I like her alot! But it’s interesting how sites like THIS and others throw shade at another popular singer, you may have heard of her, her name is CIARA. She won this very coveted award last year as well, and I don’t recall her getting a special post on this website, and it is interesting how the writers of this site left that important tidbit out. You guys are making it sound like beyonce is the only one to get it. CICI GOT IT TOO! MUAH!

Beyonce is that chick no matter what anyone else says. she’s obviously doing something right hence her numerous success and ahievements. this lady is going nowhere!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 /

”i am humbled by this award” lmao. love her but she says that a lot. i guess when you’ve won as many awards as she has, you’ll have to start repeating yourself eventually. She deserves this award regardless of what anyone says, her hardwork and dedication to what she does has every right to be recognised. She isn’t called the Queen for nothing. 12 years on and she’s still slaying these mediocre artists. No one should have something to hate on ths time around but knowing people on this site, in a matter of seconds, they’re gonna find something negative to say.
retire? go have babies? HELL NAW lol
it’s QUEEN BEE b!tches

@19

Strange how they wrote all that out for Beyonce, but sites didn’t do that for Ciara. What signature dances moves has Bey done. It sounds more like Ciara descrption. I know she was rewarded for her success as singer, style, dances, many charities, etc.

35.

*diva*

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 /

thanks for the link CL, people were already trynna find reasons to get mad. now you’ve seen the link, let’s get back to celebrating with Beyonce lol. this is her year! Ciara’s has come and gone (happy for her though)

illumanti going hard for Bey as far as i’m cocerned they giving her everything. What happened to earning shit insted of signing deals to have everthing given to her. She can go sit down with the mark of the beast on her finger. All the money she has she will never be able to buy her soul back. SMH

40.

ILLUMANTI GOES HARD FOR BEY

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 /

Damn shame this chick ain’t that special. Thats why I don’t find it hard to beleive all the demonic crap they say about her. Bey is not the only person in the industry. The industry should be ashamed of themselves, give me a f n break. Just give her the damn oscar so she can go sit down already. Fuc it just give it too her no movie or nothing. Too many coochie lickers this sh#$ getting out of hand now. All America has to offer is people like Bey, Oprah, Brad Pitt &co WTF

41.

No wonder Beyonce keeps winning at everything the music industry is OFFICIALLY DEAD not even her sister Solange can get a look in I dont blame other artist for not really bothering to step up their game when you got beast like the Knowles ripping people off right left an centre Beyonce is winning as she is the only one left it’s got to a stage where I don’t listen to the radio or watch tv anymore sick of these coons, buffoons half dressed strippers/singers in the Media yeah she deserves it. way to go thanks for killing the industry you an your partner

42.

Intrigue216

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 /

I’m with #37 & 39. So who did Matthew pay off? There are other female artists from a variety of genres this could have gone to. Whatever though, hopefully this will encourage her to take a break for a few years….Well congrats anyway I guess.

43.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 /

The music industry sucks and its up to consumers to put their foot down and stop supporting wack ass ness. Im upset because Beyonce’s album was not good with the exception of two songs I do like, so im wondering how she inspired others and started new ideas. Everything I have seen from SF is influenced by other artist today. I am not sure whats going on but people should start being real honest and not scared of being called a “hater”. The media is dictating who our black Icons should be and not us, we’re too busy calling each other hater instead of listening to ones opinion. Jill Scott, India, Erika, and other artist are the real icons for black music, we are so into shaking ass and hair swinging that we dont give real artist chances.

—–@3 & 31, What more do you want? When someone says they are humbled,
—–they have made the their best attempt at keeping the thing from going to their
—–head. More people should say “I’m Humbled”. Rather than talking about how
—–hard they worked and how dedicated they are. Beyonce knows well that she
—–is only where she’s is at by the grace of God. Diva, you said “no one should have
—–something to hate on” right after you dissed her for repeating herself all the time
—–saying she’s humbled. Humility is one of Beyonce greatest examples for angry
—–women with creature attitudes. Her message and role model is clear and
—–much needed in the black sisterhood. Beyonce has made great achievements
—–while teaching a hoodrat how to be a husband and a gentleman. Too bad, he and
—–Julius lost their sight for a breif moment in Groatia last week. Other than that, Jay
—–has shown that he appreciate what she brings to the table. Much more than his
—–ghetto azz deserves. I wish them well. So, the next time someone says, “Thank
—–you or I’m humbled” take it as the ultimate response for the awards, praise and
—–honor. She really need not say anything more. Beyonce is a STRONG woman.

—-I didn’t say SHE was needed in the black sisterhood. I said her example of humility
—-(role model) is needed. It’s not secret who the women are with attitudes are in the
—-work place. And, which women tell you off the best and cuss you out the best.
—-We know who wins this title. Now, don’t twist my words. Embrace them! Beyonce
—is good for the world. She’s $exy, but she still a lady! She’s humble, but she keeps
—it real, unlike the a bunch of Niffies and Frankies who think they know it all. lol!

Im actually happy for her she does work hard…im think im more shocked that Ciara won the award BEFORE Beyonce did…..so to all the people that swear that they copy each other…is this beyonce copying Ciara???? Honestly Beyonce and Ciara are the “it” girls in the industry right now i wouldnt say their the most talented but they do receive more attn than other artists and i truly believe its because they actually work! side note….CL did post Ciara getting the award but they did make is sound better under the beyonce post vs the ciara post…..that just shows that if its not beyonce people dont really recognize it which is sad…shes not the only person in the industry doing big things I still love her tho….just believe we give her a lil too much sometimes

54.

wtf?

Why as a black community we have to always bring eachother down? Why can’t we just be happy theat they gave it to an african american woman….who represents us?

@Meat

Neffe and Frankie are something else, but at the same time you know thats them… they dont put on a facade of fakeness (even though it may help). In all honesty Beyonce is not good for the world she is just another pop artist. If her music hasd substance or a message then I could concur but it doesnt, its all bubble gum just like Britney and other pop tarts. I would agree that she keeps her legs closed on the streets but her overall image is Sex on stage. I dont know about Beyonce keeping anything real (lol)

56.

DD

Wednesday, August 26, 2009 /

If you think Beyonce represents you then you have no other role models in your life, Beyonce does not represent me. Just because someone is black does not mean you have to approve or praise them, black people do dirt too. Its funny because the same ones talking about others being negative are the same ones negative towards other black female artist. Thats the problem blacks cant have an opinion or someone would say “you dont support your own” there is always a label for something. Im sure Beyonce is not worried, its only her fans who are.

People all ways talking about support one another. Did we forget Beyonce and her pimp daddy tear down every female in the industry. Look how they treated the former members, look at how they treat kelly. Look how a fake twit was sent out going at rihanna,we know that was Beyonce. hating

It’s time for this chick to go sit down for real. I don’t have a problem with Bey but this is just too much. I wonder how all of the other female singers fill. That ain’t right. Be for real Beyonce CD was garbage. i am Beyonce I just threw it out the window. Sasha Fierce 5 songs including put a ring on it and diva. What is really going on.

Beyonce hair is fake, her butt is fake, her eyes are fake (look at the destiny child audition tape eyes are dark brown almost black, not hazel, or almond light) Her breast are fake you can see the implant hump like you can see it on Amorosa and new york, her song writing is fake. So how do we put so much into something that is over 89% not. It’s too many artist out her working their as es off, writing their own music, putting out good music but all we know is fake butt Bey. If it looks like a fake,talk like a fake, it’s fake it’s too much fake shit to even consider her real. We are fooled by the photoshops no room for phoney imposture all the trickery.

—-57. Telia, you just spreading gossip and rumors. Kelly and Rihanna have no one
—-to blame…! And, some of you are giving Pop Knowles way too much power.

—–And DD, if you can’t hear the message in Beyonce’s music, then you must be
—–hard of hearing. She told Jay his $#!t was in the closet “To the Left” and six
—–months later, he gave her a 12 carrot ring and half of all his worldly possessions.
—–And, at a time when brothers were flocking to white women, she reminded us that
—–the sisters stuff is “Bootylicious”. If you don’t hear the message, I don’t know
—–what to tell you.

I will admit I’m not a big Beyonce fan. But i will admit she is the hardest working woman in the entertainment industry. She stays on her grind and she has accomplished a lot this year. Hit records more than one.Number one movie, Successful tour. Endorsements, Inaugural performance. She is non-stoppable. I give credit when its due………..She gives her all in everything she does and is still young(if U don’t believe the rumors of her real age)……

@Meat are you bragging on a song Bey lied and said she wrote that Neyo wrote. So bey didn’t tell you nothing. As far as the ring we know she forced Hov into marriage because of Rihanna (ring the alarm) For the record who gives a fuc about reminding a dumb as , I can’t even read brother our stuff is good. If it takes reminding a brother that just might me he ignorant as hell. Just like the other day I heard a two year old girl singing “it’s too big, it’s too wide, it won’t fit” I was smh like wtf

@Meat

are you kidding me? You’re speaking of the song Neyo wrote? What is her message? Is she telling people to love others, respect others, feed the hungry, stop the violence in black communities, or how to love yourself? I dont think so, her songs are bubble gum just like Britney…. Its good Jay married her after 8 years of being together, and giving someone the world doesnt make them happy. Dont look at money, diamonds, and gifts as a sign of happiness.
