-I think it's great to have appreaciation for other cultures but this is just an idiotic thing to say IMO.


Ring the alarm! Buttastic Beyonce -- who is up for "Female Artist of the Year" at the VMAs -- tells Latina Magazine, "I'm just jealous that I wasn't born Latina. I wish I had been because the culture is so beautiful." If Beyonce is going to attempt to voice an original thought, perhaps she should write it down and read it first!

Bey may have put her high-heeled foot in her mouth with this one! Somebody let this woman know that appreciating a culture is great, but actually wishing (and perhaps morphing) yourself into it is a little annoying. The sultry singer goes on to say, "I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine." Is anyone listening out there? Hola?!

Where was Beyonce's mother, Ms. Tina, or even Jay-Z when this was going on?! From now on this girl needs a chaperone to monitor all statements! Her booty is legendary, but she shouldn't speak out of it.

I think the girl just froze and was flattered that the Latin community was showing her love and she wanted to show it back, but came out with that comment. From her interviews, she doesn't seem very good at thinking on her feet.

do you guys see why i can't stand her

jealous?

LOL, I can't stand her either. Something about her comes across as very insincere. Plus she's an idiot.

But it's funny you bring up jealous --she is jealous of all of us latinas. Jajajaja.

Me gusta los gatos, pero tengo miedo de ellos.

Te amo Spot.

no that person was trying to say i was jealous of beyonce oh please...

and please do not flatter yourself....

Ummm, that was mostly in jest, if you can read basic spanish you'd see it was a joke. Plus, I don't think Beyonce really cares to be latin --it's called audience pandering. Right now, the latin market is huge and she's just trying to get them in her pocket. What is your problem with all these beautiful young ladies?

i don't have problems with beautiful ladies... some people like you might try to make an issue out of it... but my purpose for not likeing beyonce has nothing to do with her looks... because i was a huge fan.. for many years... i thought she was the most beautiful... but now i don't really think she is that pretty... but anyways.. its about her being fake. .and dating Jay- Z

whatever she wants to appeal the latino market..yes i know she's half latina but whatever people do alot things to get money..

jealous?

YES I SAiD it, she(beyonce) said that she wish she was born latina..to which i say..i wish beyonce was born stillborn.

I am sure I am a bit dumb like some of you paint Beyoncé, but what is wrong with this remark? Why do people immediately assume she does not want to be black? Why are peeps so insecure about themselves they have to blow up other people's comments and put them in another context? She explains she likes the culture, so I immediately assume she is saying it because of that, not because she does not want to be black.
Media make elephants outa mosquitos sumtimes.

I'm not offended. I wish her ass was born latina too.

i wish she was born stillborn

jealous?

that's just going overboard.. dont you think?
