Comment: There is something so very much pretentious and disingenuous about this lady. I wonder why she's not well-received in Africa-America. It appears that she transmits this vibe of the "Jack 'n Jill" Black debutante who'd do just about anything to win the crown. People in Ethiopia have great jokes about her concert there in Addis Ababa last year. African women pridefully frown on blonde wigs, blue-eyed contact lenses, white, dusty make-up and phoney eyelashes etc. because it sends the wrong message to their young people. Ethiopian women are proud of their "Natural Beauty" and have no respect for a "Drug Store Beauty Queen". Go to the Ethiopian Herald Newspaper and read the articles by columnist Tadesse Kibreab.

Comment: Huey: I saw her parents on Oprah and they seem to be a combination of stage door parents and pimps. Usually, I adore all of our positive image stars in Africa-Ameria because I'm SSOOOOO concerned about our kids having positive role models so they can get a good education and make a difference and prosper. When I see "Drug Store Beauty Queen Floozies" with so much influence on our young and blurring the realities of their priorities (I wanna be shakin' my butt like Beyonce rather than studying to be a scientist or business leader!)it makes me shake my head and wonder if we'll EVER wake up. Marcus Garvey had it right nearly a century ago......"Up, You Mighty Race!!!"

Comment: i am so tired of evr little thing that Beyonce say these day has to be publicized. She's the one putting it out there and if porple want to know about her. Damn her and her wedding photos. When is sh egoing to get in that head of weave that the majority of us anre feed up and full of her. She need to at least let us miss her. Why don't she go somewhere and try to make a little Jay-Z or something then she might get some "Spotlight" time but other than that she is a has been in my book. Her album is due out next week and she is saying and doing anything to get people to buy it and I am not interested in it at all. Everything soumds the same that she makes. She has not grown at all in her music. she is a grown azz woman and is still making teeny bopper music, Enough is Enough! I agree with what fanteeking said about her doing anything to get the crown. And before anybody says anything about hating on her I ain't studying her azz I am just sick of her no acting overated stank breath self.

Comment: Oh bytch shut the fuvk up with your lies, ain't nobody offer your azz nuffin, you and Jay with all your money ain't selling covers like Anegeline and Brad and had they offered your azz a 6 piece from KFC you'd jumped all over it...

Name: TRTR
Comment: Unfortunately, Beyonce just wants to sell a lot of albums and have a movie come in at #1 its opening weekend. She's selling as many products as she can that doesn't promote anything that's natural to Black women. She's all about the dollars -- as is her husband. He once said something in the area of he can write anything and people will run out and buy it. Will they ever do anything really substantial and powerful for the Black community (and that doesn't mean giving out turkeys and gifts around the holidays to the families in Brooklyn's Marcy projects)? We'll see...

Comment: Why does she come off like a 12 year old when she speaks? She does not sound like she can put together a coherent sentence. She doesn't have to sound like a rhode scholar but at least, sound like she's got some common sense. The article comes off as if she's not too bright.

Name: ss69054
Comment: She is too overexposed. I hope she is not the chosen one on Jan. 20th to sing for the president.

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: It's funny that they don't want the public in their private lives or anywhere near them until they have a product to peddle. No thank you. I'd rather keep my money private and to myself.

Name: WordUp
Comment: Beyonce, why don't you think about the fact that you were so selfish not to share pictures of your wedding to millions of your fans that it cost millions of dollars for charities you could have supported with the money. I'm beginning to think Beyonce stank. Bytch think she got so much money, she don't need none now.

Name: whynotme
Comment: -->DCGG...i'm with you on that one...beyonce knows damn well she didn't get any offers for those wedding pics.

Name: Stephanie
Comment: As much as Etta James is in the musical industry, this movie about her life will tank because people can't stand Beyonce. They should have used that Frenchie chick from American Idol. Beyonce is not a natural at anything. She is pretty but God forbid what the hell she looks like when she takes off that mask. She is so over rated, big time!

Name: Deb70
Comment: Ok, enough. First with offering herself up for the Obama's inaguration; then putting herself out about wanting to play Wonder Woman; now she throws out she wants to do Glastonbury (sp). Enough. I am so tired of her. Each time I click on an article about her, I go to just see if she is, yet again, begging for something or bragging on herself. Yes. Each time. I so wish Aaliyah was still here, or that Jill Scott, Corrine Bailey Rae, Janelle Monet...anyone else, would get press time. Beyonce has been on the scene freakin' non-stop. She is trying to make as much money as she possibly can, to gather as many accolades as she can. It's not about the artistry of acting or singing; it's all about getting paid and showing her body, her gear, and her big azz diamond. That woman is dimwitted, shallow, and I am sick of constantly seeing her face.

Comment: I took the pictures, and National Geographic made the offer, 'cause only in India would a woman marry a camel. I destroyed them because it's a crime against nature.

Name: ss69054
Comment: LMAO...damn he does look like a camel!!!

Name: WordUp
Comment: I think she got the offers for her wedding pics, but Bey-Dumb-cey don't realize she's alienating people by playing her hand with ridiculous privacy cards. I've grown resentful of her because I can't stand that privacy shyt. If she wants to be private, she shouldn't be in the entertainment business.

Comment: ss6094: I just read that Obama has offered the spot to Jennifer Hudson to sing at his inauguration..if she's up to it. Now you know that piiisssed Beyonce off, especially since she was tacky and put it out there in the public that she wanted to do it. Talk about face breaking.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: lol@these posters. Seriously, any objective person can come onto this thread and easily ascertain that some of these people are completely unhinged. I'm a fan..but u guys are fans of not being fans..lol BTW, Beyonce as Wonder Woman? Hunh? Must've missed that story.

Comment: Stephanie: I think we may be ..."saved"! sml! The movie she was gonna play Etta in, is a movie about Cadillac Records!,NOT JUST about Etta! So...there is Mos Def playing Chuck Berry,Jeffrey Wright's in it too (I can't remember who he plays!) & OTHERS as well in it! So..the movie is based on/ & share by more than "B's" presence ! It was prolly HER people who ran to the press, mentioning ONLY HER, like SHE was the ONLY star in it! But SHE AIN'T!! So again?....Wheeeeew! LOL!! (at least I HOPE there ain't ANOTHER movie she WILL be the only star in playing Etta!) Sheeeeesh! Holla!

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: fanteeking: I think, the reason AA's don't like chick?, goes back to how she AND her father treated her original group members, Latoya & Ta Tavia! People "saw through" the shyt "B" & daddy saaaaaaid was the reason "they" were booted"! & realized just WTF they went through! You can't "like" someone that has THAT kind of ...."fukk you for all your hard work, making ME a damn star"!!) Feel me!?? (& I think that you can!!) sml!

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: fanteeking: After "that" and how they ALSO treated the FOLLOWING members in that group?, it became "crystal clear" WTF she & pops were all about! One!

Name: Taurusingr
Comment: P.S....Aaaaaand, she's NOT a "humble" either!! People allready don't like the "pretty girl" (haters are ALWAYS gonna flow THAT way!) but when you couple it with HER ways???? Like the old people say..."Umh, umh, umh"!!(& YES!!,I'm STILL a fan!, of her "talent"!) One!

Name: ss69054
Comment: >butterflygirl this is my first time hearing that J. HUD was offered to sing in Jan. Well maybe Bounce can do a number at one of those balls! LOL

Comment: Musb> It was reported that Beyonce said that she was ready to play a super hero, preferably the black Wonder Woman---what the heck, Halle was Cat Woman. Anyway people seem not to realize that she isn't wrestling down media sources forcing them to write about her, evidently they think it's a market for Beyonce info, so they seek her out and quote it, take her picture---what is she supposed to do, say no thanks people think I'm over exposed and phony. I don't worry about her as a role model, why would she be---any more than any other entertainer, which is sad in itself, no one at home to admire? Heck Little Wayne who seems to live at Blender magazine would be worse if your kids seriously took what someone they did not know was saying (sounds like the problem is with your kid, not Beyonce or any other entertainer) in fact if we are so concerned about entertainers as role model (GOLLY isn't this arguement as old as records and movies been around??????!!!!!) ban them all!

Comment: SD...oh damn..I didn't hear about that one. *imagining Beyonce as an Amazon on Paradise Island* Well I guess it "could" work. I'm not really sure who is cut out for that. I doubt that they would make an all-white cast so who knows..lol Huey..Huey..Huey, since you didn't get the hint from the previous 3 e-mails you sent to my yahoo account..take heed son...I'm not that kinda guy. NO HOMO! Besides you mustbeconfused, I believe that purse was being worn on your swollen shoulder...at least in the pic you sent to my e-mail. That's wut I get for putting it online. Oh well..BTW, drop a few dozen pounds fat man. Thanks but no thanks.

Comment: Fanteeking, glad you feel that AFrican women allegedly frown on the made up look, I guess they don't like Iman either, and oh I guess they don't bleach themselves in certain areas (the articles must have lied.) Yeah throw a rock and the dog that barks got hit, and I don't like the implication that make up equals phony or white and African women shun all that, the AFricans I know must not have gotten the memo. I don't mind wearing make up, in enhances my looks as it does many other women who wear make up, have fun with wigs (do the Africans you know dislike brown or black hair or red hair or just blonde because they have so much pride in not wearing make up, do they dislike kinky hair wigs) in different styles, wear contact to change their looks not be white. Beyonce is an entertainer and like ALL entertainers wears make up, lashes and whatever else makes them look good on stage and video, even the 'natural' sisters like Jill Scott and Angie Stone wear make up. I know you are super militant and proud of your strong, strong, black, black roots but the 60s are over, it's okay to wear straightened hair and still be down for the cause.

Comment: Al...dude has a cyber crush on me fah real. Can't even disagree w/some sort of sexual invitation. Some'n in that water ain't clean I tell ya! SD..I was gonna respond to Fanteek's post but it was so full of silliness that I chose not too. You knocked it out tho'. I can guarantee that if I go down to Au Bon Pain...i will see at least 3/4 of the african women in their w/EXTRMELY bad weaves/wigs and ain't na'an color black..but that dirty brown. Ur right..the 60's are out in the Obama generation is in...lol

Comment: Please read Tadesse Kibreab's editorials since he lives in Ethiopia and knows a little bit more than yaw do about African Ethiopian women.

Comment: I saw somewhere that Meagan Fox may be Wonder Woman. That's that dark haired blue eyed gal from Transformers.
