[b]THE HATERS REALLY KILL ME WITH THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. NOW THAT BEY IS SINGING FOR THEM, THEIR FINDING BULLSHIT ASS EXCUSES FOR WHY SHE IS. FIRST OF ALL BEYONCE DOESNT HAVE TO BEG FOR SHIT. BEYONCE IS BEYONCE!!! SHE'S AT THE POINT WHERE SHE REALLY NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY KNOW. SHE'S THAT BITCH!!! CLEARLY HER ANSWER TO A INTERVIEWER'S QUESTION WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND BLOGS AND MEDIA WERE CREATING A STORY TRYING TO MAKE IT SOMETHING IT REALLY WASNT. SHE DIDNT EVEN INITIATE THE COMMENT. IM STILL TRYNA FIGURE OUT HOW SHE BEGGED TO SING? OBAMA AND MICHELLE HAVE BEEN QUOTED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LIKE BEYONCE. ITS NO SECRET SO EVEN IF SHE NEVER MADE A COMMENT ABOUT SINGING AT THE INAUGURATION, SHE WOULD HAVE MORE THAN LIKELY BEEN ASKED TO DO SOMETHING ANYWAY. AS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SAY THEIR SICK OF THE BEY OVERKILL...... BEY IS ON HER GRIND DOIN HER THING. SHE HAD A DREAM, SHE DID WHAT SHE NEEDED TO DO TO ACCOMPLISH IT, AND NOW SHE'S LIVING IT. WHAT'S SO WRONG ABOUT THAT? ITS NOT EXACTLY HER FAULT IF EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT EVERYTHING SHE DOES. IF YOU DONT WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT TURN THE CHANNEL, DONT ENTER A POST ABOUT HER, SIMPLY SCROLL RIGHT PAST IT...I SEE THINGS ABOUT RIHANNA ON HERE ALL THE TIME BUT I DONT GO IN THE POST HATING ON HER OR READING ABOUT IT CUZ I SIMPLY DONT GIVE A FUCK. I DONT ENTERTAIN OR GIVE PEOPLE THAT I HATE THE TIME OF DAY. TO ME IF YOU DO...YOU ARE GIVIN THEM MORE FAME, MORE SHINE TO THEIR NAME AND THAT'S SO POINTLESS. IF PEOPLE WOULD DO SOMETHING MORE PRODUCTIVE WITH THEIR TIME LIKE FOCUSING ON THEIR OWN GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BRING SOMEONE DOWN...THEY WOULD SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR SORRY PATHETIC LIVES. ENVY AND BITTERNESS GETS YOU NO WHERE IN LIFE. DRIVE, FOCUS, HARDWORK AND DEDICATION ARE KEYS TO SUCCESS. THAT'S WHAT BEYONCE EMBODIES AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S SO WIDELY PRAISED FOR HER WORK ETHIC. YOU MAY NOT LIKE EVERY SONG, EVERY VIDEO, EVERY ALBUM OR WHATEVER SHE DOES, BUT YOU CANT DENY HER TALENT AND HER DRIVE. THOSE ARE THINGS YOU CANT BUY OR STEAL. THOSE ARE GIFTS AND BLESSINGS FROM GOD. IF WE AS BLACK PEOPLE WOULD START APPRECIATING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH AND START RECOGNIZING OUR PURPOSE FOR BEING ON THIS EARTH INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY WE AS A RACE CAN START MAKING THOSE STEPS TOWARDS WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

[quote comment="387025"][quote comment="386935"]u women are so dumb....i'm sorry, some of u are. because, beyonce does nothing bad or says nothing bad about u women, she makes her music and does what she does to give u women and young ladies empowerment and it's sad to see that they are bashing her like this and as a fellow black man, it disgusts me and it's very unattractive...i'm not a "stan" or whatever they call them...i beleieve that she definitely is one of the most talented women out there and she's rarely given the credit she deserve and it seems like it never phases her because she loves to make women feel strong no matter what they think of her and that is very rare to find in a true artist. u women talk highly of women like rihanna etc, but they are just in this for the money and fame...trust me on that, i've met her and i know, she's not genuine and she's the fake one. she's very incosiderate and is not as talented as the rest of women in the game. i respect her but i don't respect her attitude towards others. so please, grow up, and please appreciate good people while you can. cuz this is 2009 and honestly, life's too short ladies[/quote] Um so you call someone dumb for stating their opinion. Okay you met Rihanna what if I told you I met Beyonce and she gave me the same vibe Rihanna gave you? What if all this empowerment is a way to sell records and Beyonce is the opposite of what she portrays in her music? Would you believe me? Doubt if but I've met her 3 times and constantly got the same vibe. Not to mention she give the vibes of insecurity meaning the empowerment songs is what she truly lacks in real life but once again I doubt you will believe because it can be true since it's beyonce right?[/quote] rihanna is arrogant.plain and simple.certainly becoz she became famous without talent.but both are celebrities,i can expect a hug from them if i meet them. i dont know bee personnaly but she is a nice celebrity.rihanna isn't!!

[quote comment="387422"]The head of the Presidential Inaugural Committee said they were trying to keep it a secret. Well, Beyonce must have ate the memo on accident or something, because she let the secret out. She issued a statement about it to Entertainment Tonight: "I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the First Lady. To sing 'At Last' while they have their first dance is a dream come true. I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history." >>> See...she is already making it about herself.[/quote] Yes, I saw this on mail dot com. The song was supposed to be kept as a secret according to the committee, and she revealed the song. Attention whore, much?

From young you just KNOW what your path will be in life & she threw it thru the window.
