Agreed.She should be happy that she even has a career.These days,many new artists are "over" after only a few years.So far,she's managed to hold the public's attention.Just make your dollars and shut the fuck up lol

She should be thankful it's that way. If it wasn't for her smoking looks, I, and probably millions others, wouldn't have a clue how she 'sounded'. What would be the point in watching her videos? For the music? The mind-blowing musicianship? Errr, don't think so. At least with the help of her pretty little face, her shitty little 'tunes' get lodged into people's heads on a daily basis.

Then again, who actually watches her videos with the sound up anyway? I'm still not sure what type of music she dabbles in. It's blugrass mixed with some folk, isn't it? eek

Beyonce definitely has a shape, Mike 1, I have to disagree with you. If you saw her movie Carmen, even though that was like 5 or 6 years ago, the girl was the reason for hip-riding jeans...

and I may get alot of mess from the orgers, but to me, she can sing.
Just my opinion, please do not crap on me.

i dunno...she is very attractive and she does have a great voice. why should she pretend that she doesn't know that. i don't think the statement came off sounding egotistical as much as it came off sounding candid.

that said, maybe if she put some clothes on in her videos people would pay more attention to her talents as opposed to her assets.

Let me try and relate by putting myself in her shoes. Would I feel bad if people complimented me on my shoes rather than how fast I can type? No, not really. Now, stop cryin' and get back to gyrating.

Beautiful people are so delusional.

When Beyonce first came out she had neither beauty nor talent. Just the hint of both.

She grew into both of them. I remember her live performances during the Say My Name era and while the song was hot, her stage presence and delivery were sh*tty.


Slowly, she became a dynamo on stage and apparently got her voice trained. She has not always sounded so good. And yes, I do think she's a powerhouse vocalist. And a great trend-setting performer.

If she had debuted as strong as she is now, everyone would be focused on her talent, but she didn't.

And what little beauty she had when she debuted is probably what got her enough attention to go solo.

So don't blame it now. She rode that beauty/sexy train that her father pimped her on all the way to the bank.

She can save herself now by penning some artistic songs. Her talent is recognized, but it's not used to do anything spectacular. When it is, people will talk.

As a solo artist, while I have liked many of her songs, she has not done anything classic or eclectic.

Beyonce can sing. Big fuckin' whoop because there are way more talented singers out there.

When I look at her, most of the time my mind goes to the gutter and the last thing I'm thinking about is her singing to me. lol

If she wants props and respect, she has to act like it. Being a glorified video ho with a boyfriend who pimps out the black community ain't how you do it.

Very well said, fair...and balanced!

Oddly enough, I do admit that I like the version of Swing Low Sweet Chariot she did with the acapella choir for her Fighting Temptaions cd. The kid's got pipes and they really are suited for vocally challenging material...sadly the way the music business is set up though, we're probably have to endure her singing more crap like Baby Boy and Lose My Breath instead... confused

but the funny part about these statements, is that they are so inconsistent with any interview I've ever seen her give before, I really feel like something is suspect here on the part of Fox News in oreder to create an intersting headline or soundbite. The way I've been watching the media skew interviews lately, picking and publishing certain sentences out of context when I have seen the real interviews in their entirety...I don't know, it's really edging me towards the "don't believe everything you read" side of the fence cool

Beyonce did attempt to bring something different when she released "Work It Out." Unfortunately, the song wasn't well received, so she ended up going safe with songs like "Crazy In Love" "Baby Boy" and "Naughty Girl" for her album.
She even sported a more Afrocentric look during that time.

She has a point. Is she to blame for the most part? Of course. But don't knock Beyonce's talent. Like she said, she's a solid songwriter, a solid producer, and a solid songstress. Her acting is average. Is she prolific or a genius? No. But you can't knock her talent unless you just don't like the chick. I also see nothing wrong in being highly confident at how good you look, if you got it, flaunt it. She has talent, I just think people either like her or hate her and/or she's overexposed to the public.


You said the magic word SC. Beyonce is overexposed.

And critics & music fans alike are turn off by ANY artist that show their face and/or their booty too often.


And it's time to root for a new underdog.
