@Tiffany, Gaga is coming I thought gaga was still there. Where did she go to? Halloween drag queen cannot meet B no where performance wise. She will have to get rid of all the gimmicks and showcase her raw talent first. Please don’t forget in 2008, 2009, gaga and a lot of others was around together with beyonce and nothing changed beyonce’s success. beyonce was on break baby she lost nothing. Now she is back baby don’t be scared baby. You must not know bout BEY!

At the Billboard Awards, Bey was lookin’ like her real self again (notice the melanin kicked in). However, here the “whiteness” is back.
Are you tryna tell me that Oprah can’t afford lighting as good as the stuff Billboard’s got on their stage?

Signs that shows Beyonce is slowly declining among her fanbase:
1. She reproduce materials from other musicians who have already touched and made known for. Once example, her billboard awards performance was copied from Lorella Cuccarini.
2. After Mathew Knowles left her daughter as a manager, Beyonce didn’t seem to make wise choices in her work. Run The World (Girls) was not a smart choice to be her official first single for her new album.
3. Lastly, Beyonce’s vocal showed that it’s in a heavly declined because none of the leaked materials proved that she was displaying vocal ability. Given example, Run The World (Girls) and Until End Of The Time only revealed she is singing 2 and 3 keys back and forth. Nothing is challenging except the new sound that she’s trying to show us.

@I critique, I don’t hate, how can you define Beyonce’s career by one single. I must say she gained fans from that single jackass. It just proves that she is the best performer in the world at present.A beyonce fan knows that she is perfection and declining is not part of her vocabulary. You are unhappy, hope you feel better after reading this. This is more greatness to come don’t miss it.

Glad you beLIEve the hype. Glad you are focused on living through this copycat wig wearing biotch. Glad you call this singing. Glad you don’t know any better, Glad she said she wants to be Latina so I don’t know what the ell you’ll talking about representing the sistahs! she married J so that Rihanna wouldn’t –she has grown up sheltered while your asses are out there ready to be hung, I feel sorry for young women who all they have to look up to is this nasty biotch with her phony _i am so humble- bs..am so shy, am so gentle..am so blah blah what she is, is a liar of the first kind. ol nappy head like the rest of you on here. yeah she represents you alright.. she looks like an albino baboon. now you go sit in a corner. ignorant, non English speaking, uneducated, fat blacks and the stupid dudes on here..
