I think u need a column on the E entertainment or music magazines co sign

I just don't like her personality. She's not a nice person. I judge artists by their personalities

she ain't nothin but a glorified ho!!

Beyonce is no Chaka nor Mary as far as I'm concern, but at least the sistah have her own style of singing. She ain't no wannabe like the rest of the young ladies 2day which is the main reason why I like her.

She doesn't move me sometimes but I love the Arabic style in her voice. Plus, I don't feel like skipping anything when I play her stuff 4 my kids!

But I'm a fan of the sista, you could bet yo $$$ on that

I've heard a lot of people say that Beyonce isn't a nice person, but the evidence used to back up that theory is alwas nothing but a load of BULL. Someone please tell me what does Beyonce do that bothers people so much?

Yeah, Alicia is phony. (And I should have said they lapse into stereotypical ghetto language. Because, you're right people in the ghetto don't talk like Alicia. That statement was too broad.)

And Maxx, you have to consider D.C's hits. Beyonce wrote those and I think she even produced some. The lyrics, attitude, and pop appeal of tracks like Jumpin, Jumpin, Say My Name, Bills Bills Bills, Survivor, Bootylicious, and Independent Women are good enough to warrant admiration. The second album had a lot of great tracks that should have been released -- Sexy Daddy and Apple Pie a la Mode, to name two.

As far as solo singles, she does still need to prove herself. I loved Work it Out and still play it regularly to this day. The 70's throw-back sound, the gutteral sexy delivery, and the double entendre with the lyrics are great.


But yeah, she needs to knock it out with a memorable, #1 single (without Jay-Z) that will solidify itself and her as classic.

The only think I don't like about Beyonce in interviews is that she lapses into ghetto language way too much (Alicia Keys does this too). I hate that. It mars the effect of her beauty.

Arabic style? I listen to Arabic and East Indian music. I wouldn't call her style Arabic. I call that unstable. Her voice flutters

Beyonce is no different than the other phony baloney "pop princesses" out there. A couple years ago she was trying to cop Diana Ross's act. Now she's trying to be Tina Turner.

What's she going to try next? Put on a big ass fur coat with a tight evening gown and start copping Aretha's act?

Arabic & East Indian music are waaay too different things!

Anyway, I listen 2 Arabic music too and I still think that there's a slight Arabic in the way she uses her voice(Say My Name-The Story Of Beauty-Perfect Man).

Mary can't sing. Excuse me if I'm not a fan of Screaming in R&B music. If I want to hear someone yell, I'll go see Aerosmith.

Um...sorry to have to call you out, but how ignorant is that? How can you judge artists, or anyone, that you've never had the pleasure (or displeasure, as the case may be) of meeting???

What the Fuck is with all the Alicia hating??? We don't know whether she's phony or not, but she is an AMAZING talent, and there's nothing phony about her song writing.

Damn people...can't you concentrate on a REAL phony who SUCKS...like Shakira??!!

BTW, what is her first single? Is it that inspide pop number she does with Jay Z or that hot steamy R&B pounder becuase if you ask me, one really sucks and one is really hot. I just hope the record company is aware of which is which!

I'm sure by now she's either saying or "kiss her " Not only was she the highlight of VH1's Diva Duets, EVERYBODY on radio shows, other message boards are now talking about how they are reformed fans of hers. I'm really glad that she had the opportunity to perform to incrase her fanbase even more!!!
