I can't say I'm disagreeing either. Even I like Beyonce and knew this was all bullshit the minute I heard of the award and like something was up, and disgusted with those around me who couldn't see it. Even if she's worked hard and was to get an award, it shouldn't have been in such a vain manner.

nod Makes me wonder what award she'll have bought for her next.

If you can't get higher than artist of the millennium (or infinity?), could this be the last one? lol

I think that jumpsuit makes her ass look fat.

I take it you haven't been around many sistas or Latin women. lol That's not a bad thing. Beyonce's kinda flat, not "bootylicious" at all. Iris Chacon is more like it. wink

Well, her behind is getting flatter but from the new video, the hips are spreading 'cause of all the legal sex she can have.

I feel the same way you do. That song is a grower.

She can be a pretty stellar performer and I give her a lot of props for the unique stuff she does with her singing and music.

It's just that she's pushed this "ICON!" thing so hard - it makes me wonder if she does it for the love of the music, or love of the fame and fortune. Plus, she's real in your face all the time. Major turnoff.

Nothing she has done is unique. Most of it is copied from other entertainers.

I know pretty little of what she's done, but lots of things from Destiny's Child to the solo stuff has really impressed me. Lots of weird vocal lead ins, harmonies, just crazy stuft that you wouldn't hear otherwise. I gotta give her a lot of credit for that.

She even seemed kinda nice when she was mentoring the Idol kids a week or 2 ago. Too bad she can't be as charming in her music. I kinda hate that bitch. disbelief

Pretty awesome performance. But I didn't like the ending with all the dancers - she's done that too many times.

Nice, humble speech.

But the song still is major pants.

Beyonce Criticized for 'Run the World (Girls)' Performance

16 Comments
By The Editors of AOL Music Posted May 24th 2011 07:50PM
Beyonce is catching flack for her performance at the Billboard Music Awards last Sunday.

Before accepting the honorary Millennium Award, Sasha Fierce lively-uped the stage with her first television performance of 'Run the World (Girls).' As she danced, images projected on a giant white screen behind her. However, some say the production looked too similar to one put on by Italian pop star Lorella Cuccarini last year.

Media artist and film director Kenzo Digital designed the graphics for the performance and admitted Beyonce and co. were inspired by Cuccarini, but charges the concept has been around since the '80s. "[The Cuccarini artists] are awesome and do incredible work as well, but there are a lot of different inspirations for where our piece came from," Kenzo explained to The Amp.

"...It's just a bare white screen. It's a technique in video art since the '80s in terms of frontal projection and interactive things. That's really nothing new. It's not even a new technology. It's just an incredibly simple, awesome storytelling device, and with a performer like Beyonce it becomes incredibly powerful."


Kenzo also commended Beyonce on her work ethic. "There was no visual guide," he points out. "Her eye line was straight into the crowd, engaging the crowd. That's just her amazing abilities as a performer."

'Run the World (Girls)' is the lead single from Beyonce's forthcoming album, '4,' slated for release this summer. Another track from the album, titled 'Till the End of Time,' surfaced online yesterday.

She gets away with songs that sound like they were written in 10 minutes. How is she not embarassed to release songs like "Diva" and "Why Don't You Love Me?" She always has plenty of quality tracks on her albums, it would be nice if she tried to make an album with all good songs. Run The World is a big flop on itunes, people love Beyonce but cannot justify purchasing that track. This has been a good year for female hits with Gaga, Britney, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and even J.Lo coming out with strong songs, she needs to focus on quality more.
