I so wanted this to be a summer tour... Between her and Jennifer Hudson their camps are really sketchy about these dates.

How Do you claim you know so much about the music biz, but don't know about something like this???>?? Prince and Beyonce are NOT playing!!! You must know about the "secret society".... all those years you claim to be in the music business you ought to know.

I wonder if in a couple years she'll be cold as ice? One can hope...

and the MJ comparisons? Puh lease! Michael never whored himself out to EVERY SINGLE talk show, magazine, awards show, radio show, movie premiere, cable TV commercial, shampoo endorsement, tabloid...and best of all he didn't come out with a NEW LP every fucking 1-2 years! Yeah, when she did the 'break' between solo albums - she was whoring it out as the front woman of Destiny's Child, who were SO beyond their time. Michael took his TIME on each project, always went away for awhile, and his appearances/performances were SPECIAL, they were EVENTS...and his videos were always the bomb! Not some tore up jazzercise routine in some Houston basement.

Fuck...what's next for B'day? A tampon commercial jingle that she sells as a ringtone with free cereal coupons and a soundtrack for said commercial featuring Beyonce butchering another Tina Turner or Etta James classic while giving the exclusive story to Good Housekeeping? Lord, make this woman take a breather...

Same here, I really don't know how one album will bring anything new to the table.

Is that who's in that little ventriloquist's suitcase?

So "I Am..." has sold over 3 million copies? So who is buying up her cd? If she's so overexposed (which she is) and if people are so sick and tired of her, how come her cd is selling so well? I know that its been in the top 10 for weeks now--does she really have alot of devoted fans willing to buy her cd over and over again? Or are that many people really buying her cd? I dunno, maybe that's the case--or maybe they are counting each cd as 1 unit--since its a 2-disc set. However, I know that the rules are that each cd would have to be at least an hour long for them to be counted as a single unit, and both cds are less than an hour. But sometimes rules are bended...

Hell its because of her Prince experience she says that's where she came up with it.

Hopefully. I hope she got a dirty t-shirt eating some Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the with one sock on and Tyra Banks in the background witha blanket over her.

NaughtyKitty said:

No. That statement says that B'Day has sold 3 million copies (SoundScan puts it at 3.3 million to be exact). I Am... is at about 1.8 million.

I Am... does not qualify for the double counting rule (which only counts for certification status, anyway, not for units scanned), and they haven't bent the rules for it.

I see where you're going with this.

VoicesCarry said:

Ok that makes more sense, thanks for clearing that up!

badujunkie said:

On second thought...

Timmy84 said:

Don't worry after this tour she will be having babies with Jay-Z she just making money and and trying to become a status symbol before she drops off...

LondonStyle said:

Even with babies, they'll probably treated as a world premiere and Beyonce and Jay-Z doing their best Brangelina imitation to hide people from viewing the pregnancy and stuff, lol.
