Oh please!!!

My favorite divas are Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Cher and Elton John...respectively! Beyonce isn't fit to carry any one of their bags, let alone their torches!

Alot of it is just overexposure.Beyonce is literally everywhere.I heard that she even wants to play 'Wonder Woman'

Actually, that ain't a lie. My brother and my mother was born with blond, curly hair. They were VERY light-skinned though, much like Etta James, Beyonce AND Florence Ballard, all three of them had blond hair. Why do you think Flo's nickname was "Blondie"?

Didn't you say your mother was biracial?

If Hollywood decided to make a new Marilyn Monroe biopic,I bet Beyonce would be trying to get that role,too Girl doesn't know when to stop.

Not technically. My grandpa and grandpa were black but we have a multi-ethnic background (my great-grandma was Cherokee, Irish and African and was light as I don't know what but she was darker than the rest of her family). I'm not like Beyonce though, who makes it a big deal about her being "Creole". My momma always said she's black. My dad always told her she's the only one he knows in his life that wants to be black while everyone else wanna be something else. In my family, we always have this saying: "no matter what lineage you have or what you prefer to call yourself, you're still a n****r to them." Weird thing is I have three aunts and an uncle. My uncle and my three aunts were darker than my momma and she looks more like my great-grandma than the rest of them. People always say I look like my uncle.

I remember you distinctly posting a pic of her sporting a small ponytail, from what I saw then, she doesn't really have a thick hair

Harlepolis said:

Her hair is actually very reddish but for some reason she likes lighter hair and yeah her hair ain't really that thick. Remember the picture that was going around that showed Beyonce with her real hair and one guy looking at her like

You have to blame her management after 2003-2004 she lost something i don't known what it is but she became boring...she just did not open up as an artist ...but the hype around her grew too big...she's a nice girl just needs to shake up the management around her..

Yes, she is at the point where she can't do anything right. She is very full of herself, and very diva-like in her mentality. She is not as talented as she believes that she is, and it is hard to like someone so arrogant.She tends to oversing, and I hope she goes away. SOON.

I'm curious about something....

Are there any Orgers who are fans of Beyonce? Are you excited about her upcoming tour??

Please identify yourselves

Just thought I'd add... there are naturally blond black people that I have met although they tend to be pretty light.

Beyonce's natural hair colour is black. In the BTM special, I remember them showing pictures of her as a child and her hair was black.

I think people just can't stand her because of overexposure and because she appears to be a complete idiot in interviews.

But remember when J-Lo was the "it" girl at the time? She sang "Jenny From The Block". At least that song was more modest than "Diva". I see most of her style in Beyonce and it is known that she wants to be Latina.

Timmy84 said:

Isn't that Toure from BET? He know he wrong for getting busted like that.

Like I said "no feet"

Why do people hate/cant stand Beyonce? Basically it all boils down to this: people are sick of her. She is overexposed, overhyped and has been on overkill for the past few years and people are suffering from serious Beyonce fatigue--folks have just about OD'd on her. She is everywhere, constantly promoting herself, pushing herself into the limelight...yes daddy Knowles is a big part of constantly putting her out there but at this point, she is a grown, almost 30year old married woman, she can make decisions for herself and she's not doing anything that she doesnt want to do, regardless of whether daddy made the deal for her or not. She herself is very ambitious, driven and determined to make herself be the "icon" she so desperately wants to be.

Its her constantly being out there, making herself a part of every high-profile event, over-promotion of her cds, movies, or whatever she has out at the time, taking credit for writing songs when she really didnt write them, constantly being in the spotlight...this is why people are fed up with her and want her to go away. People dont like overexposed people period. It doesnt matter if you have talent like Beyonce, or no talent like Paris Hilton--if we constantly see and hear a certain person dominate the media all the time, we get sick of them, and thats when the "hate" starts pouring in.

And its not like Beyonce is the only case of being the overexposed and much hated entertainer---I've seen this happen to several others before as well:

Madonna
Mariah Carey
Janet Jackson
Britney Spears
J-Lo

Beyonce is just the latest entertainer to be added to this list but I remember when each of those other ladies was the one during the height of their fame and careers who were overrated, over-exposed and had a lot of hype AND hate coming at them. And those who get all upset over the hate against Beyonce need to realize a couple things: 1. The hate for isnt because people are jealous of her, its just that they're tired of her being shoved down their throats all the time. and 2. She isnt the first entertainer to be overexposed and bashed because of it--and she certainly wont be the last one either.

At least those artist brought it with every album except of course B.Spears and J.lo. I was sooooo happy when she said that she was releasing an album that was more her and deep. And then

IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU SHOULD PUT A COCK ON IT came out!

It as if she saying whatever i put out my Stans will buy it cause i'm queen Buttface kind of what madonna is doing. But she old and not part of this era, so i don't care.

I can tell that Camel-z is in the studio with her cause those songs she got sounds like him shoot Diva & Ego Scearms Kanye West & Jigga.

She has so much money, She can hire some underground writers and give up her writing credit cause we already know she is part of the late 90's Man-Hating No scrubs era.

I find Rhianna to be more annoying the only good song she has done is "don't stop the music" - everything else is pure crap.


I think "if i were a boy", "dangerously in love", "crazy in love", "irreplacable" and "me myself and I" are good songs - it's just that Beyonce is everywhere which is overkill - like how J-LO was in the late 90s.

kenlacam said:

No she isn't. Not from what I see anyway. I think she is naturally the exact opposite. If she is speaking offstage like a "diva," she seems to be poorly emulating a false character that someone has advised her to pretend to be (and no, I'm not referring to "Sasha."). Sure she shows extreme confidence onstage (mainly because she is very good live and experienced), but when she is not performing, Beyonce has a believable humble and almost sad/not fully secure spirit, which is becoming more and more obvious in her eyes now.

In terms of her competitors, the ones who I think have the arrogant mentalities regarding their music and/or status are Rihanna, and even Beyonce's sister Solange.

Does Diva ring a Bell, Upgrade you, Hottest Chick in the game
She did say the album is her did she not

tamewar said:

The first two are song titles. And most musical artists claim "they are what they write or produce," but I don't always believe them, especially if they're commercial artists whose attitudes offstage greatly contradict their song lyrics. For example, a homosexual male singer can perform songs he's written about romantic love for women to appeal to a female audience (and tell people those songs are "him"), but in real life he only loves men. I think it's like that with Beyonce, who is the "hottest chick" in her music, but is a seemingly an "insecure woman" at home.

This is just my analysis.
