I don't blame her for keeping her band members! Those women held it down, especially that guitar playing, afro wearing, fierce ass woman!

Beyonce does need to disappear BUT she's not really doing anything differently than Prince or other artist who would release an album every year.

We just have more media.....internet, video, ipods, etc.

I kinda think its the other way around because I always hear him on somebody elses remix or somebody's always quoting his lyrics and Beyonce on other hand isn't like tat in my opinion...Maybe because I don't watch TV a lot but you get the point.

MC DIVINTIY aka DIVINITY aka DIVI-BABY


Pre-Beyonce, she was playing 2nd and/or 3rd bass in Victor Wooten's Wooten Family Band and had her own solo spots. Here's some vids of her skills.

This is a good move for Beyonce.
I'm glad to see that she's using real players and not eye-candy fakers for the sake of the "All Female Band" concept.

To keep a band like this together (unless they're on retainer), she's gotta keep them working.

I saw Nikki when I went to see Martin Luther. She was awesome then. I think he was a little sad Beyonce took her away lol.

I was initially standing right next to a drum kit she was working out on.
She plays with so much power I had to move a few feet away.

How are you doing, this morning?

Pretty good, although it's nighttime here for me. you?

purplesweat said:

Yeah, I didn't know that. But, I'm good. Just looking around here, I guess. It's still dark, but it's four in the morning, nearly five. The sun doesn't shine until 7:00 because of daylight savings time's beginning, here. I've said too much, haven't I?

Damn, you're up early!

purplesweat said:

That's because I went to sleep at like four in the afternoon, yesterday. I came home from work, tired. I woke up at one in the morning, today.

Leave Beyonce alone. She's got talent and good looks and a lot of people are just jealous.

I'm sure her record label wouldn't like that. Performing with a band in concert is one thing, however, recording with a band in the studio means the music will be heard by millions of people, not just the ones attending concerts. If it was to be successful and catch on, the general public would be wanting more music from bands (which would cost more money) and all the shit hoppers would be working at McDonald's.
