No Allegiance
January 18th, 2008
Despite the fact that she’s both a singer and an actress, Beyoncé is bumping the Hollywood writers’ strike to shake her tail on stage at the Grammy’s on Feb. 10.
Says Daddy Knowles: “The work of The Recording Academy is vital to the music industry, and we have every intention of being with the entire music community to celebrate. Beyoncé has been asked to participate and will do so. We have an incredible performance that will be announced soon. We wish the Grammys the best.”
Yeah, he’s got a point. But how impressed would we have been to see her give up the Beyoncé Bounce for one night to stand on the picket lines in support of men and women who helped build her short but profitable movie career?

This chic wears way too much make-up…
WoW ! Did they really think bey would miss any chance she gets to soak up the spotlight and shake her a$$ .
Why should she not perform. This whole writers strike is messing up everything. It’s taking away from all good entertainment. B is an artist, an entertainer. She loves performing more than anything. If the people who were striking loved the artistry of writing they wouldn’t be striking. Don’t feel so bad for them, they ain’t struggling.
Bounce it B. It they strike is taking this long and Jay Leno and errry other show is still on TV, it obviously isn’t working.
Beyonce needs to start acting like an adult and quit letting Father Cufflinks (Matthew Knowles) call all the shots. This is not about what others are doing, it is about what she does and where her principles lie. Lets quit beating around the bush about Beyonce’s talent, she only a mediocre singer and if it wasn’t for her shaking her azz all over the place she probably wouldn’t have a fan base!!!
Nina you can only speak for yourself. I think she’s a great singer and could care less about her shaking her stuff. Beyonce is a singer first, actor second, so I do think she should perform at the Grammy’s. But I do support the writers, Hollywood should pay them what they’re worth.
Deitre, I am speaking for myself and would never speaker for anyone else nor knock someone else’s opinion. However, IN MY OPINION, Beyonce an actress?? She was terrible in Dreamgirls and I have not read nor heard of any upcoming movie offers! Dreamgirls should have been her breakout role to spiral on to the top as far as acting is concerned. It didn’t happen.She’s not a very good actress either.
Beyonce I love your music and your style you are my fav singer beside aaliyah before she left i didn’t get a chance to see her.But i hope i see you beyonce i hope when you get this you make my dreams come true please also this is my porm year my last year in school i really hope to here from you soon write me at nicolemorrison67@yahoo.com One love nicole aka coley
Deitre you said a mouthful girl! lol! Beyonce is doing the right thing by performing in my opinion..and she’s not the only one performing..The Foo Fighters are too..so Kadi please stop trying to always put Bey down whenever you can..it ain’t her fault she’s the Hottest Chick in the game…haha!
YOU ARE ACT FOOL RIGHT NOW. IF YOU WANT NEW MOVIE IN YOUR FUTURE SOON. YOU CAN’T LIKE THAT NO RESPECT AT WRITE STRIKE. THEY’RE MOVIE FOR YOU SHOULD THNKFUL IN GOD BLESS YOU. BUT NOW IT TIME CURE IN YOUR SOUL IF CAN HAPPENING WHEN I PRAY . IF YOU RUN TO THEM SAY SORRY AT WRITE STRIKE. THEY MAY FORGIVE FOR YOUR FAITH. DON’T TRY GO BACK WHAT YOU DONE TO THEM BECAUSE IM PISS OFF AT YOU IN YOUR BAD INSLUT COMMENT.
Beyonce is a good performer and singer, but I think she starting to get a little big headed. I mean we got real powerful singers out there like Alicia Keys, Keisha Coles,Jill Scott, and the chic that song on JayZ lost ones. So I mean she good but she not all that. We got singer who can REALLY SING out there and you don’t see them throwing a fit, because they know they got a real talent.
I think this is a dead wrong move and I’m a Beyonce fan. To suck up to NARAS is the wrong move here. Beyonce has plenty of money and fame while writers are fighting for basic rights of making money off their work. In this instance shwoing signs of solidarity with NARAS is the wrong move. She may have difficulty in the future trying to get roles because as we’ve seen, it’s pretty hard for Hollywood to go on as usual with the writers…who are often the least paid.
This is bad move and she and Matthew need to rethink it and set a tone for other artists.
Like someone else said beyonce started out as a singer first…and is an actress second….I applaud her for not being a scared punk like everyone else…this is the grammys 50th showcase and she is showing her respect to the academy by attending…I support you Beyonce!!!!!!!
Well I`m not surprised by Beyonce latest move. If she wouldn`t conform to laws when she was supposedly going to perform in a Muslim country last year why we she then past up this opportunity,duh? We all know Miss B loves to get her camera time on and shake it like a polaroid picture. Like I`ve stated before if you really study Beyonce it`s quite obvious that she`s very conceited. After all we`re living in her world while she`s the main attraction. To another point. One of the previous bloggers made a statement about Beyonce being the hottest chic in the game. Well that`s debatable, for my main girl Alicia Keys is taring it up. Just check the charts. Her album once again is #1 while selling nearly 3 million copies in a little over 2 months. Beyonce the hottest chic in the game, you may want to re-think that notion.
Beyonce wants to be a white girl I see. That’s why she got all that make-up on. I won’t be buying anything else of hers.
LaLa, do you not remember the comment B made about wanting to be Hispanic??? She has always been ditzy and still is, she can’t sing(well)she carries a tune greatly, she is NOT the best dancer, she flys & flops around the stage but she can gyrate her azz off, dance no gyrate yes!! ACTRESS- H#$% no, she is all around OK, can not understand for the life of me why ppl hype her up so much, nice looking young woman for sure, body for days, but the ultimate woman / not even on a bad day!!! Still can uderstand the hype, but to each his own. personally I think she is a little special which is why they never let her speak on her own it’s either her Mom or Dad & when she was w/DC it was Kelly who usually was the spokesperson. so interlect is definitely not her best virtue….
Being that I work on the money side of the entertainment industry ( business management), I have a different take on the srtike alone. People are losing their homes and going furthur into debt over this strike. Everyone is losing, the crew, the actors, the producers, even the writers are getting loans from the guild. The industry as a whole is sufferring big time! I live in Los Angeles, CA and california alone loses over 20 miliion a day over this strike. This is a very costly and devestating strike and a lot of people aren’t realizing that. Since we are only having a FEW awards shows this year ( not to mention they might not do the Oscars) those few shows need to be entertaining because it makes money for the industry. So who cares if she performs, not everything has to do with the “suffering writers” because honestly they aren’t suffering that much.
Here is something you may not know, writers have a hard time getting jobs. About %40 pf writers that belong to the Guild haven’t been working; do not work. This strike is based on the non-working writers’ vote also. So think about it, if you’ve already been sitting home of course you wouldn’t oppose a strike because technically you were already on strike. So it doesn’t hurt ALL the writers and it’s starting to seem a lil selfish. That is just from my stand point and what I’m seeing my clients go through as far as money.
who cares if hollywood takes a fall, for years they portrayed blacks in a negative light. us from the hood can make our own movies
STOP HATIN ON GIRL BEE CAUSE SHE PERFORMIN, ITS HER LIFE NOY URS. AN SHE MIGHT NOT BE THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME BUT SHE IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST CHICKS IN THE GAME. AN FOR GP1910 IF U WAS SMART U WOULD NO THAT NO CELEBRITY REAL TALKS TO THE MEDIA. THEY ALL TALK THRU SPOKEPERSON OR THEIR MANAGER AND BEE’s DAD IS HER MANAGER DUMB A**, WHO EVER ITS IS.

CAUSE YALL NO SOMETIMES YALL WISH YALL WAS ANOTHA ETHINICTY TO, I NO I DO SOMETIMES TO. STOP ALWAYS PUTTIN BLACK PEOPLE DOWN WHEN THEY COME UP AN DOIN GOOD.
people love to believe the negative about beyonce.
personally i admire her work ethic and determination. some of the lazy bums critizing her need to just STFU. atleast she’s not some illiterate unwed mother like that horrible donald duck sounding fantasia
i think most of yall folks sum haters.beyonce got it going on. i really havent been keeping up with the mess going on wit the grammys but as some folks said b is an singer first and i think she did ok on dreamgirls. id rather see her in videos but ole girl is hustlin 4 dat money and can yall really blame her. i myself am a singer trying to get seen and heard and beyonce is a inspiration to me personally.i cant wait to see what shes gonna do next on stage she is a great performer 2 me and others.so 4 all yall haters stop ridin B’s d!ck.peace love and hairgrease!
leave beyonce alone! i love watching her perform, and she doesn’t care what anybody says about her not performing.And she didnt say she wanted to be hispanic, she said that she is jealous that she wasn’t born hispanic..and i believe she said that to be nice to hispanic people. if she really wanted to be hispanic it would had came out a long time ago. We should just be happy that she is one of our own doing it big and not like these other trashy white girls always in the tabloids!
JoJo I know who her manager is & I still say she’s special & what, because ur in love w/that chick doesn’t mean I have to be. I said she was an Ok all around chick. And I give her many props for not being a sleaze media chick. A young blk woman doing her thing I just don’t care for her thing, whatever that is…FYI a dumba** is somebody who loses sleep & raises their blood pressure because somebody said something they didn’t like about some chick they dont even know or probably will never meet!!! PS: WRONG..lots of celebs speak for themselves & stop screaming I hear you loud & clear, but I aint mad at ya, do you, HOLLA
I agree w/ gp1910. lmao Now, that Destiny’s Child seems to be over, she should start another all girl group….
not the “Dixie Chicks” (mind you) but, the “Ditzy Chicks” lmao
cuz she’s always seemed kinda “special” if you get my drift. And, I she was never one ot stand for principles. Like sme of you have said,…
she’s too busy getting her “shine on” for that lmao so, to think that she’d stand behind the “writers strike” is absurd.
^^^Blah blah blah. Say what you want but at the end of the day Beyonce is still the most popular and successful black female artist. Did ya’ll not watch the AMA’s. This girl has made so much history and will definitely get a lifetime achievement award 20 years from now. Anybody who can sell over 100 mill records must be doing something right. I say keep staying on top Bey and keep making your haters mad in the process. LOL She’s definitely the hottest chick in the game. Keep killing em.
Lala and gp1910 i agree with u!
Just to let a few people know Beyonce was not acting in dreamgirls because thats what she do in her everyday life, now if she was acting like a drug addict or a single parent of 3 trying to make then thats acting. Just about every movie she has done she sings. I would like to see her do something that would be really challenging for her but at the same time bring up her acting career. She should surprise her fans and change her “acting skills”. Just a suggestion!
i am very very proud to see a black woman represent like she does even if she shakes her a$$ some times i wish black women every where would start being proud of their beauty and talents cause nobody wants to hear an alligator sing and a crocodile dance my baby should only stop doing what she,s doing when shes good and ready i will join her asap cause i want to see her all the time so the next time she gets ready to sing or maybe shake her a$$ sit down and enjoy the show trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1love gisselle

yes yes yall stop hatin on Fantasia coz that gal can blow way better than Beyonce. Beyonce is tooo over rated. Also i think she’s bleching, gal needs to slow down on her make up who is she tryin to look like Barbie? Why not keep it real like Kelly.
WELL WE ALL KNOW JAY JUST HITTIN THAT TO BE DOIN THE “HOTTTEST CHICK IN DA GAME” HE HAS HAD ALL THE P***Y 100 MEN COULD HAVE-WHAT MAKES HER COOCHIE SO SPECIAL? SUPERHEAD PROB BETTER THAN HERS-SHE NEED TO SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE-LET SOMEBODY ELSE BE IN THE LIMELIGHT-OR AT LEAST CHANGE HER STYLE-DAMN!
I wish ppl would stop saying this…
“…Beyonce [or whomever] is still the most popular and successful black female artist…” It’s working my nerves. lmao That statmenet is very subjective. It depends what female you like. They are @ LEAST dozen more black females artist that ppl love so, sorry to bust anyone bubble but,…
Beyonce AIN’T the only popular black woman in music, and saying she’s the most popular is really stretching it. Ppl with that mindset must be retarded. I mean, c’mon there are all these sistas that are doin’ the damn thang now. It just so happened that Beyonce was forcibly shoved down the throats of Americans. That’s all. lol

thank you Lita 4 saying that.Lease somebody underststand!!!
Beyonce is just mad because she didn’t win a grammy for dreamgirls and Jennifer Hudson did. Her performance wasn’t half as good as Jennifer’s. She is also a stingy individual. All the millions she make and she never give to charities or anything. All she cares about is Beyonce. Her mother thinks someone had something to do with her not getting a grammy no Mrs. Knowles your daughter didn’t give an oscar performance. Keep working on it though, you’re still young maybe one day you will get one. But she needs to give support to those movie writer’s.
Correction: I meant to say oscar.

I think she should perform. Honestly this is what she do. The writers are on strike for reasons not pertaining to her yes she is a actress, but she is first a singer. Get em B
i like u just the way u are u are not like the others ok, so u dont need now body.
baby girl a.k.a zamari
Beyonce has got her own style and Fantasia has got her own style so don’t criticize Fantasia because she ain’t the only one that has a child out of wed-lock. I don’t have any children but I know alot of sucessful unwedded people you hata called Yes Yes Yall. Big ups to B and Fantasia and don’t hate get like THEM!!!
dam she looks maaad white in that pic!
I think that people should respect anyone black women making it happen in todays world. I think B is great, it is great to have a man (your father) look after you and not some white industry trying to take away our black culture. As far as her look, she didn’t reach in her culture and design the look that all of us African Americans have. We are different shades, hair, eyes, nose,etc…Wouldn’t everyone want to have a daughter, sister with the character of Bey and her family. Actually this is why we send our children to school and train them to be respectable people. Dance on, she knows her skills, and knows what she has to compensate for. She is no Alicia Keys, but they balance off as far as entertainers go. The world is big enough for all.
hey, B i think u is doin a amazin job keep up da good work…………I LOVVE U………..#1 FAN
I think both Matthew Knowles and Beyonce show a lack of respect for writers that wrote Dreamgirls. Yeah..some of you are coming up with excuses about she is a singer first, but if she ever hopes to be respected as an actress you show respect to writers that got you there. Personally I don’t think she is an actress. Her acting lacks any emotions or charisma. And some of the stans your blind devotion to Beyonce is getting ridicolous. What does selling millions of record or being most popular female entertainer (which is absolutely not true) have to do with the topic of her crossing the picket line? That statement alone is getting old, come up with a better phrase ok. That way intelligent people can take fools like you more seriously. But then again for someone who wants to be latin, we can’t possibly hope Beyonces stans to come up with a better excuse then “she sold this and that”.
her acting was a result of her character in Dreamgirls. Elfie’s (jhud) was a strong one and she worked it. Bey character was more passive and I think she played that. The best one for me was Anoke’s role because she had to stay neutral and comedic at the same time.
I understand that Beyonce’s role was being passive. But really, was it challenging to play a female singer? Almost all the roles she acts in is about singers. Beyonce is a singer. I don’t find anything special nor interesting about playing the same role that she naturally portray in real life. Jennifer rocked it there is no question she deserved that oscar. But Anika I will say this. Anika was overlooked as an actress because of popularity and competition going on between both Jennifer and Beyonce. I was quite suprised at the oscars when she sang, she has range. I really think Anika has multifaceted talent that some really took for granted. I hope with that black princess animation they show just how versatile Anika can be. And it does not hurt that she is a beautiful dark complexion actress. It is not all about Gabrielle Union.
Though Beyoncé is an actress, but not beautiful at all. However, i do not mean black girls are ugly, since I have met a lot beautiful black girl on bigblackconnect.com which is an American black community. Maybe there are many American black beauties.
Beyonce is damned if she do damned if she do’nt…..yall would probably be in the crack of her a** if she said she wasnt going to the grammys also!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce is the fakest thing i’ve seen. What’s the big hype as far as she’s concern. please people there are many talented people in the music business.And Matthew needs to sit his crocked ass down
“Deitre, I am speaking for myself and would never speaker for anyone else nor knock someone else’s opinion. However, IN MY OPINION, Beyonce an actress?? She was terrible in Dreamgirls and I have not read nor heard of any upcoming movie offers! Dreamgirls should have been her breakout role to spiral on to the top as far as acting is concerned. It didn’t happen.She’s not a very good actress either.”
I don’t know about her not getting any other movie offers,but I agree that she isn’t a very good actress. I don’t think she thinks of herself as an actres either,otherwise she’d respect the strike.
” SO WHAT IF SHE WEARS ALOT OF MAKEUP AN SO WHAT IF SHE WANTS TO BE HISPANIC OR WHATEVA SHE SAID. CAUSE YALL NO SOMETIMES YALL WISH YALL WAS ANOTHA ETHINICTY TO, I NO I DO SOMETIMES TO. STOP ALWAYS PUTTIN BLACK PEOPLE DOWN WHEN THEY COME UP AN DOIN GOOD.”
Speak for yourself!! Why don’t you go sit down in a corner with Beweavable somewhere? Funny thing is I agree with both of you. I also wish you and Beyonce weren’t black either!! We have enough imbeciles to worry about.
“atleast she’s not some illiterate unwed mother like that horrible donald duck sounding fantasia”
Fantasia may be an unwed mother and she may be illiterate, but unlike Beyonce she can string an original sentence together without sounding like a rehearsed “pageant reject”.
“And she didnt say she wanted to be hispanic, she said that she is jealous that she wasn’t born hispanic..”
Um…did you read that back to yourself? It means the same thing.
“Wouldn’t everyone want to have a daughter, sister with the character of Bey and her family.”
Uh-NO!!!
“Actually this is why we send our children to school and train them to be respectable people.”
Beyonce didn’t even finish high school, so this comment is null and void. I’d rather my children be educated thank you very much.
where is my comment? I am so angry! Though Beyonce is an actress, but not beautiful at all.
Not to say, she is very successful as many black girls on Uniformedcupid.com . Admire them!
for all you hater Beyonce is the one and only so quit hating and do something better with your life because she going to get her and can care less how yall fell about her. LOVE YOU BEYONCE DO YOUR THING GIRL…….
Beyonce, I didn’t think u wore that much makeup………..but I don’t care, u r still the queen…
let her perform soon as she cross those picket lines thay well put the black list out on her she’ll never get a good role in hollywood for along time ya’ll know them white folk good luck beyonce
Where is all this HATE coming from! Beyonce is beautiful, successful and humble. When I hear her speak, she seems honest and tender hearted. Some in the media can try to make her out to be some conceited individual, but I don’t believe that’s true at all. It’s her decision to cross that line and perform, but she has to deal with any consequences, NOT US! Her astounding CD, Movie and Concert sales speak for themselves and we should be proud of her accomplishments, not bashing her and pitting her against other successful artists. We celebrate them all! Love ya B and keep doing shining!
well put honeyB black people in the united states have been hating on each other sense stepping of those slave boats century s ago i think people hate beyonce because of people she hurt in her past mainly letoya luckett latavia robertson
now im not hatten on b but she lokkes a little fat but she needs to no that i love her any 1 wanna reply to that i wanna talk to some 1 and i dont wanna get on my space right now soooooo pleas?
Beyonce has done most of the writing of her songs, and collaborated with other writers in the industry, not necessarily affiliated with the striking writing community. However, and whatever Beyonce does, her activities, her contributions, her talent are usually admonished by individuals who have never attended one of her performances. Black people should learn to be more supportive of their own talent who support black performers (writers, producers and directors). Black people did not call this strike, the white writers did, and to show solidarity, black writers had to participate even though they will be hurt the most with the outcomes. It is the white writers who seek the dollars even due to black writers. That is who you need to be making a comment on.
gosh so much commens y dont peole just not worry about them!? oh well
oh and by the way tooo much make up beyonce!
I somewhat feel where the writers are coming from, but what they need to realize is that their strike is leaving alot of people out of work. Think about it all not just the big shots make movies happen you got caterers, camera men, the people with the hot dog trucks outside etc, who are out of work because of this. And it’s rediculous. They choose to strike for their own reasons, and entertainers choose to go on with their lives for their reasons don’t judge them. What they need to do is meet somewhere in the middle and end this because it’s really out of hand!
“Speak for yourself!! Why don’t you go sit down in a corner with Beweavable somewhere? Funny thing is I agree with both of you. I also wish you and Beyonce weren’t black either!! We have enough imbeciles to worry about.”
UNKNOWN U CAN KISS MY BLACK (AN YES I SAID BLACK) A**. I AM PROUD 2 B BLACK, I AM 100% BLACK. I AM A PROUD AFRICAN AMERICAN AN IF U DNT THINK SO I WILL KICK YO A** LIKE A 100% BLACK PERSON AN THEN U WILL BE UNKOWN, UKNOWN.
I dont no the girl to be hateing haters
All you haters out there WOW! B is a very talented entertainer.I see y we will never come together as a culture we hate each other.
The Grammy’s need Beyonce, the black eye peas and Alisha Keys cause the show is wack. Music is a personal choose. Remember that.
Hopefully B. thoroughly understands the reason for the strike and thought about how her appearance at the Grammy’s may effect her in the future. Chances are, her performance won’t have any negative impact at all. Secondly, she is not the only person performing,so why is she being singled out? Is it because some people love to hate this woman? B. has taken brutal criticism since the beginning of her career. Many people will not let her live down the situations/problems that took place in Destiny’s Child. It is a miracle that this woman is still sane and not a substance abuser. Look at Whitney and Brittney. Fame ate them alive.
i want people to stop being haters! please jus give it up…Beyonce is gonna do her thang regardless of what any of you haters think…so what get over urself…
Beyonce is not on strike and I for one want to see her perform.Overexposure or over rating occurs when you can no longer sell or draw an audience.Anyone who earns a living and would turn down money has lost the purpose of working for a living.Tommorow is not promised,make as much as you can.I love B’s music on the sterio,She sounds fine to me when I don’t see her Ass shaking.When you don’t like someone,just don’t watch or listen to them case solved.Who does not want to make more money,entertainer or layman or pastors.Some folks sound ridiculous to me,like they turn down money.Please!
I think Bey should perform, she is a performer. Also, Everybody needs to stop gettin’ at Khadi. Did you ever think that she seems to “hate” Bey, because she knows how to start a good conversation? She knows that the subject of Beyonce brings much controversy, and without controversy there wouldn’t be a good conversation…I smell a good journalist.
Excuses that stans continously use as logic:
#1 She is a singer first, actress second
Make that money B! ~%*#% the writers that help
create the character Dana in Dreamgirls.
#2 She sold millions, she is so popular.
Are the stans actually admitting she is not an
actress but just an entertainer?
#3 The haters hate her because she is beautiful.
They hate her because the original DC members
were kicked out.
(I speak for myself) If I trully hated Beyonce
I would not buy the DVD Dreamgirls because
she would be in it. I would not critique her
on her acting skills did I not take the
time to see some of her work. No human being
is worth that time to waste such strong
feelings as hate which at some point has to
do with love turn sour. Dear Stans I am not as
delusional into thinking that she is god and
should not have an opinion against her.
Bringing up the past of DC members leads me
to believe that you acknowledge her and her
fathers past as guilty. Using the past as a
scapegoat for our opinions is quite pathetic.
(Again I speak for myself) If I really
resented Beyonce for her past with the
original members I would’ve resorted to
ignorant words like that person calling
Fantasia illiterate and call Beyonce an
oppurtunist who would sh!t on her own friends
just to be famous.
@jojo
Thank you for proving my point-AGAIN. Please excuse yourself from the black race. You are no longer useful.
KeepItReal what is your point? If you have the right to dislike Beyonce for whatever reason, then why don’t her “stans” have the right to like her for their reasons? Music is a choice of personal taste, there is no right or wrong.
First this is a writers strike. Not a casting directors strike. I don’t think this will do any harm to her film career. I’m sure there will be several others performing as well, but ya’ll always go for the big fish. For those of you Beyonce haters, hate if you want, but mediocre singer? horrible in dreamgirls? Either your self esteem is so low you hate to see an overly sucessful black woman, or you just don’t follow beyonce. I’ve seen beyonce sing flawlessly in french, english, and sing the nigerian anthem. All while wearing gorgeous gowns. So for those who attribute it to shaking her behind, thats only in your mind. Did you see Beyonce on the Celebrations of Gospel. She was flawless there. If Alicia Keys or Jill Scott (who i love) was at Beyonce status, ya’ll would try to pull her down too. This is just like the anology about black people being compared to the turkey and the eagle.
well people who ever said ever body just hating on beyonce on this site is crazy add the rest of the country to that list every wga member from hollywood to tokyo japan is pissed off at statements beyonce dad made about going to grammys it don’t look good for beyonce right now her career at stake
i love ur songs and ur very pertty and i hope that were on the same page but they did not have to do that close up and that was to much make up but keep doing ur thing b and get that gramme award 08———-
First of all, I thought that pic was her mother and not her LOL. It seem that B loves media attention and any way of plastering herself visually she’ll do. Don’t get me wrong she’s a good entertainer and can carry a note and I didn’t say sing, but an actress she’s not. Also, she’s a little bit over exposed and some of her fans are agreeing as well.
She needs to take some time off and come back hot and fresh. What new material that she has that’s been worth her to have billing for when there are other sisters out there with hot music on the charts? She performing “Irreplacable” and honestly I don’t want to see her sing that. I’m more for Ne-Yo winning for writing the song more than her singing it. That song is up against several hot songs including “Umbrella” and “Rehab”. I really NOT interested in seeing her perform and she really needs to sit down somewhere and rest cause if she did, we wouldn’t have an issue about her crossing picket lines.

Starting a conversation that you know that is going to result in someone being ripped to shreds for no good reason, is a good thing? To make matters worst,the target is too easy. Did it really take a lot of thought or creativity to belittle Beyonce. Would the author like it if people in her every day life created drama just for the hell of it. Life has a funny way of flipping the script on folks. She needs to remember that.
the same writers yall are saying she should support are the same writers who don’t write decent roles for Black actors. $#%#? them.
Looks like she needs to “check up on it” the lacefront is havin issues look upper right, you can see the glue, Beyonce has more than enough money and should respect the writers and shake her ass at home, and Iam a fan but principle is principle, those “writers” will remember her next time she trys to make a movie
Well, my take on the whole writers strike is that it is sad that the writers aren’t getting pais because they are what makes HOLLYWOOD. As far as Beyonce, she is definitely talented, but I think her success is definitely only huge because she outshined and did not give the rest of the girls in Destiny’s child a chance. She is definitely a selfish artists in my eyes when it comes to her success and how she got there, but you have to also blame her father. I think the Grammys are a very important night in entertainment and the show must go on. Bust Beyonce needs a reality check. She is only what people made her, with her money and glamour, that came from the people!
Wow, Beyonce is the hottest chick in the game and with that said, nothing but haters will arise. Beyonce keep doing you and making great music and making your paper. If the rumors are true about Tina Turner and Beyonce perfoming together, I cant wait to watch history in the making, because both women are remarkable at what they do. And If I may add Beyonce is not just a pretty face, No One and I mean NO One is touching her vocally right now!!

Well Nicole I hope you have a successful life after you graduate but your girl B don`t care for no one but her self, it would be great for the writers to have that type of support from her over-rated azz but no it is B and BIG LIP jay-z, which won`t last too much longer, watch and see what I say…..She is self-centered…

She has on a lace front
leave beyonce alone. why do the pretty girls get hated on so much? its not her fault that many of yall are fat baby mamas.
Umm - From a profeesional stand point, I think “B” is messing up if she performs at the Grammys. She is choosing to cross union lines in which these are the same unionized people that play a vital part of her production, when it comes down to recording, musicians, stage production, touring, and all aspects of the performing arts. Crossing the line would like a slap in the face to those who actually asssit her on being the entertainer that she is. The only thing the writers want is the same that the writers within the music business have, and that is getting the paid what’s due to them. Royalties!!! When a recording artis music is used / played, and etc. they must pay into BMI, and that money is sent to the respective Writer of that song. Screenwriters and others in the Visual Arts (TV series, MOvies, and etc.), are requesting the same. At this point the networks are getting all the money. So I think “B” may want to slow her roll…..Her Career can always take a big turnaround for the down hill, especially if she loses support from the people from within the business.
She is wearing the wrong color make-up. That was a very bad pic of her.
Beyonce u need to fix that make-up gurl now!!!!!!!!!!
why did they have to show that picture of her makeup it looks terrible,her makeup is always flawless.was beyonce on crack when she came out like that. i still love her though but damn!!!!!!
Beyonce and Jay-z. You don’t know me from adam. Please get married and if you all are already married, Let us no. You know black people are noisy and we like details. One thing I want to say love her like you will never see her again, and vice versa. Beyonce keep doing what you are doing. Jay-Z, please don’t be like your friend Sean John. Babies all over the world. Don’t get me wrong. I like Sean John work. But his private life suck. Jay-Z have all your babies by one women. Thats what our father told us. He is 76 years old. Peace

Hoodrats are always good for a laugh!!
You know guys-Beyonce this, Beyonce that., it’s about time somebody dethrone Beyonce. Sisters get busy with your art and talents and for all., it’s the hype that keep Beyonce on top! She almost went Playboy. I’m frankly tired of her! Look at her on the picture, she really look like Teshia Campell from Martin Lawrence show to me! I personally don’t like that babyass singing either.
Watch your language (unknown)..NOBODY WANTS to jump on anybody’s d**#! We’re talking about Beyonce fool!
Jay-Z don’t want Beyonce., and she should not want him! He looks like he sucks..(?) and she never had a real brother before -He marked her *#@@^ with those big lips, and pimping her out- a new version of Ike & Tina Turner wannbees. ENOUGH!!
I love you B. You are so pretty jhanea
poor gloria jealous of beyonce.
its not her fault you’re a mud duck.
Gloria, Nina, and thousands of other women are jealous of Beyonce’ and it’s ridiculous! She’s prettier; she sings AND acts better than Diana Ross, Alicia Keyes, and definitely Teisha Campbell! (from Martin…now that is someone who CAN’T act-she OVER does it, and she THINKS she can sing, NOT!) But back to my girl… Beyonce’ is beautiful, talented, and built like a brick house. Don’t HATE because she’s a good girl and a smart woman who listens to her dad. He’s not gonna tell her anything to hurt her, that’s for sure. Keep doin’ YOU Bey, let the haters hate because those of us who love you, got your back!
(And for the record, I’m NOT a man or a lesbian.)
Keep it real is really keeping it real and I agree with what you say.
While I truly admire Beyonce, she is gorgeous and talented, the world does not revolve around her.
Everyone on this forum has an opinion, like her or hate her, at the end of the day she is still Beyonce and she is a human being.
Is she helping the homeless, the hungry, the down trotten, maybe to an extent with her monetary gain, but she is not the worlds saviour.
With that said, let her do her thing as long as she ain’t hurting nobody. Give other performers a chance to entertain the world.
As for the writers strike, again, she can’t save the world and I can’t see how one entertainer is going to make a difference if he or she does or doesn’t perform. It really is a no win situation.
Keep doing you. Make sure you bring your man to the Grammy. You all look so good together. Peace
Get OVER it, haters (like Terence above). Beyonce is the hottest all-around performer since Michael Jackson. She can absolutely captivate an audience. Yeah, her acting is average (Dreamgirls) and her singing is just above average. However, she can dance, is working with wonderful choreographers, and she’s good to watch. I recently bought B-Day and watched it absolutely captivated. I knew she had talent, but I didn’t realize just how much. What’s even better is that, while realizing that she is a star, she is humble about it. I liked her careful and polite responses when every writer was trying to get her hating Jennifer Hudson. The girl has class and poise. She’s a wonderful role model for the African American community. I just hope she won’t get pregnant by Jay-Z and become ANOTHER African American female babymama. If she were to actually get married FIRST and then have a baby, we’ll have to nominate her for ANOTHER NAACP image award. As for the writer’s strike, it looks like she won’t have to cross a picket line because that’s about over?
Why Bey make-up look a fool she looks like a drag queen or the camera man camera was really f****d up
What Beyonce is doing most of us who are critizing her for, will have to do it for thirty years and thats work. Give the girl a break. There are lot of entertainers I don’t care for but I don’t hate on them.I don’t hear anyone talking about Rihanna performing on the Grammys and they’re over publizing her. Mary J Blige and Aretha Franklin are performing. Why is Beyonce the only bandit. I’m a 57 year old grandmother and my husband and myself went to her Beyonce Experience show, she’s not just singer she’s an entertainer and there’s a difference. She puts on a great show.
Not your best photo “B”…looking a litte pale! “B” is that deal let the girl do what she do because there is no one out doing it bigger or better than her.
Stop hating on my fellow Houstoian,she’s doing her thing like she should.My only issue is her dating ugly ass Jay Z.I know alot of you are gonna say it’s about what’s on the inside,……yeah on the inside of his wallet.
I am a big fan do yo thing girl
Hey Bey Bey…do your thing girl!!!
I LIKE B I THINK SHE IS VERY TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ONLY HATE ON HER BECAUSE SHE IS TOP NOTCH. AINT NO OTHER FEMALE ARTIST BLACK,WHITE OR ASIAN DOIN IT LIKE HER SO TO ME SHE IS THE BIGGEST STAR OF THIS GENERATION
In my opinion I’m sick of Beyonce! She’s everywhere i wish she would just run away with ugly Jay-z. I don’t want to see her anyway and her father need to shut up and stop talking for his daughter she’s 25 years old{supposedly} and she can speak for herself!
you knw what B. i love you,your music,the way you dance everything about you and you and J. are the match made in heaven im your biggest fan,keep up the good work and i’ll keep on buying your music,u rock gal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE NEED TO STOP USING JAY-Z TO MAKE HER ASTAR IF IT WAS NOT FROM HIM SHE WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTON THIS FAR SHE THANK THAT HER LOOK,SMILE,SHAPE GOT HER WERE SHE IS KNOW BUT NO MY HOMEBOY DID “HOVA”
TEXAS BABY! YEAH! THE EXPERIENCE (LIVE PERFORMANCE) WAS SIMPLY MIND BLOWING NO ONE CAN SING AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME IN FULL VOICE. ALICIA SCREAMING TAIL CAN’T DO IT, IF YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEYONCE LIVE YOU’VE TRULY MISSED OUT. THAT BABY GIVES A HELL OF A SHOW! TINA AND BEE DID THEIR THANG!”PAPA LET ME UPGRADE U”
hi,all i ust want to greet u bye
As a Beyonce fan the comment made about her not finishing school is untrue, she did indeed and took the SAT’s, and scored quite well. If you knew what the hell you were talking about you can see pictures and footage of the original Destiny Child members taking the test when her parents were seperated at the time watch the Road Home on MTV.com Also watch the 2005 Oscars when she sangs all of the songs and two in a different language. She wouldn’t have made it this far if she was an idiot, ask Jessica Simpson being dumb is not cute! I have a degree and she makes more money than I do, the one thing that I tell people about obtaining a degree is not to let it define you. People get those things and never do what the paper says because they have a passion for something else.
Well Beyonce do ya thing
Stop Haten on Beyonce. She is good at what she does and you can tell she works hard. Sometime it seems she is working too hard. Yes it obvious. I always said she is the 20th century of Ms. Tina Turner. If you got it U got it.
you look like you die
beyonce looks a hot mess in this pic stop with the makeup please u look horrible
I JUZ LOVE BEYONCE’…SHE IS UNSTPPABLE AND CANT NOBODY KNOCK HER HUSTLE…I LOVE EVRYTHING ABOUT HER AND I DONT THINK THEIRS NOTHING WRONG.SO WAT IF SHE’S A DADDY’S GIRL,DAMN LET HER DO HER.ALL OF HER PERFORMANCES ARE INCREDIBLE
born to be a drama queen
BEYONCE IS A TALENTED FEMALE.I AGREE, SHE NEEDS TO LET HER FATHER BE A FATHER NOT A MANAGER.SHE IS OLD ENOUGH NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR OR READ ABOUT SOME COMMUNITY WORK SHE HAS DONE.BEYONCE KEEP UP THE BOOTY DANCE,THAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE MARK.
BEYONCE IS A TALENTED FEMALE.I AGREE, SHE NEEDS TO LET HER FATHER BE A FATHER NOT A MANAGER.SHE IS OLD ENOUGH NOW. .BEYONCE KEEP UP THE BOOTY DANCE,THAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE MARK.
OOOOOOOOO!How im so sick of this girl yeah she’s pretty but she is sooo danm annoyin somebody jus put dis spotlight hogger on pause.
i agree with some of the comments she is not the best dancer or actress but at the end of the day she is stil beyonce knowles who grew up with loving parents who tought her how to get that doe and she got it even if she gets on stage and does anything to please the crowd it is so many performers that put together a bunch of crap and get paid for it so what if she wants to be white i wish we could switch parents but we cant i didnt have a father to teach me any thing and my mother choose her boyfriends over me so i ran away at 15 so had a very hard life learning almost everthing i know from streets then im know 28 just getting in the legal way of maken money so beyonce yo go girl because every one does not recieve the blessing of one loving parent and you have two that are concerned and will give thier all to make sure that she and her family are well off in life.
Welll…. I for one love Beyonce’s performANCES AND HER GREAAAT FASHION SENSE; HOWEVER… I WAS UPSET WHEN HER CONCERT LAST YEAR THE RIDICULOUS TICKET PRICES SHE WAS ASKING. i CAN UNDERSTAND STARS MAKING BIG BUCKS BUT YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THE FANS THAT GOT YOU WHERE YOU ARE!
