See, that's the sad part He can have any woman he wants b/c of his $ If we're talking straight genetics, B is out of his league & he's lucky to have her. THAT'S what I'm talking about - waking up to a muthafucka, not who's paying for the shopping trips

JasonStar said:

There's a lot that can be said about Beyonce both good and bad...But one thing that can't be said is she's not a superstar...The girl is "that chick" right now....

missfee said:

Beyonce is more than just a singer. She has her own clothing company, mega-endorsement deals, acting gigs, etc.

CalhounSq said:

Girl, you know men can be ugly and still be successful and get women. I don't consider him "lucky" to have Beyonce. We forget, he's not just sitting on his ass either.

Beyonce is 10 years younger than Jay and sometimes when she opens her mouth, you can tell. I'm sure she's maturing and growing but I don't consider Beyonce some great business woman. i think Tina and matthew are

Rhondab said:

Yea but I'm not so sure J cares about how she sounds, how mature she is, what kind of business woman she is... What guys do when they're just going for arm candy?

PurpleCharm said:

I agree that she is a product. But she is certainly NOT an actress. Have you seen her try? Lawd.

VoicesCarry said:

Yes, I have and you are right. She's not an actress. She's a singer that acts, badly.

CalhounSq said:

point taken

PurpleCharm said:

ummm so???? nowadays you don't even have to sing to get all of that, just popularity, and i do agree that she most definitely has popularity that is helping her, and she is one who can actually sing, but c'mon, all in all, thats all she is...JUST A SINGER.

and you aren't using icons???? whoa okay.

missfee said:

I never questioned your use of emoticons period, I questioned your use of the eyerolling emoticon, which you used to express how you felt about my post...coupled with your snippy remark.

but whatever...it's all good if you actually think Beyonce is nothing more than a singer.

Beyonce IS a superstar. If she is not one, then I don't know what/who is. Not only can she sing, but she can dance her ass off. She is a talented actress and everytime that she has performed LIVE, she has been awesome. I am so proud of this young lady. She is doing it all,at a very young age. I like how continues to do her thing, despite the rampant negativity toward her.IMO, she is the BEST FEMALE all-around entertainer out there at the moment.

murph said:

No B is no "chick of the moment" you've gotten her all mixed up with that no singing bitch Rihanna...Need I find the Unfaithful video to show she's trying hard to look like her?

"IT'S ABOUT FUGGIN TIME"

PurpleCharm said:

the comment wasn't snippy, you just took it that way. and me using the rolling eyeball emotion is not that serious, i was expressing how i felt about your comment..more like a "so what" feel to it. Everybody has opinions, you have yours, and i have mine, so let's just continue having fun shall we???

Yall could hate all you want. This is a great move by Beyonce and I bet you a lot of female artists are wishing they thought of this first! I feel this is going to work out good for Beyonce.

CalhounSq said:

Its no worse than a woman who can have any man she wants because of her looks. Keep it real.
Back to the topic:
This is a great move on Bey's part. I hope it works out for her.

BlaqueKnight said:

Ehh, I'm not so sure I'd equate the two exactly I'd say Jay's situation is more on par w/ a chick who's ugly but has a bangin' body & can still get pretty much any man. For me that statement was more about lacking what's pleasing in the face but having other assets

CalhounSq said:

I'm not trying to defend Joe Camel but after having seen quite a few interviews with him, I will say this: he's no dummy. He's calculating businesswise so its no wonder that he has nade the money he has. (Even though he's morally bankrupt in my opinion)
According to a rap groupie groupie story I read once, he apparently has another "asset" but I'm not discussing that sh*t. I'm a het male and I ain't going there.
That could be her other reason for rollin' with the Roc, though.
My point was though, that society is largely shallow and materialistic and a rich, famous man has just as many if not more options as a pretty woman.
Put the shoe on the other foot, if Beyonce were broke, her chances at Jay-Z would be reduced considerably. Some would say "why would she want him anyway?" but IRA accounts can last a hell of a lot longer than looks and youth. $ecurity, baby.

BlaqueKnight said:

Oh yea, I know Jay is smart And if he's packin', lemme toast him

But I see your point - pretty woman, rich man... I think if B was broke nobody would question it, but if J was broke folks would be like

"Joe Camel"

CalhounSq said:

You know if that were the case, y'all would be saying "Girl, he must be packin'!"

Sheila E.-Drums
Lisa Coleman-Keys
Wendy Melvoin-Guitar
Meshell N'Degeo'cello-Bass (she RECENTLY backed up Gwen Stefani)
Patrice Rushen-Keys/Musical Director


.....THAT'S A GOOD START!!!!! Eh, P????? If not B, then WHY NOT P????

Like the GREAT/LATE Biggie said, "It was all a dream"!!!!!
Like Lisa & Jill said, "I was dreamin' when I wrote this"!!!!!

woogiebear said:

"In addition to having a "look," musicians auditioning for Beyoncé's touring ensemble must be able to play by ear (reading music is optional)."

In order to even be up for consideration, you must have a certain "look." I don't think anyone close to 50 will make the cut. That would eliminate almost everyone on your list, except Meshell, and I doubt she has the "look" that they are looking for. I think they are going to be looking for cute and young female musicians

BlaqueKnight said:

TRUE!!! When I see a dude w/ an chick who's a pain in the ass on top of being ugly I say to myself, "She must suck a mean dick!"
