17. Why would he even care about this petition.

Yeah she sold millions of records and has fans on every corner of the Earth but didn't have a damn thing to say when confronted by Peta. You say your a grown woman Beyonce, so START speaking up for yourself and STOP relying so much on your folks.

Being your own woman is a great message to send to your young female fans.

18. Beyonce is beautiful and has much talent. She is loved by many inclusive of her parents, friends and fans. People who are out there with hate in there hearts know that it only destroys. We all should be about admiring those who do have strong parents supporting them. Much love to you Beyonce and to your parents.

19. Pst..pst... starting my own rumor... 'Beyonce is on the verge of a Paria...I mean Mariah-esqe meltdown over all the rumors circulating.' Can't wait until she starts stripping on TRL!

20. I think that her videos are fine.....although I think she is selling out. Here is a woman who talked about having curves and being a real woman not starving herself, and she just lost 25 lbs for a movie. I would be more worried about that than the way she dances in her videos

21. Was there somethig particularly wrong with the video?-No.
But was it creative according to what we have seen from Beyonce in the past?-absolutely not!.
She looked great in that video but honestly it looked like it cost about $10 to produce.
She is doing the same thing in this video as she was in the crazy in love and thebaby boy videos-doing those African dances and what not. Where is the originality.
When you listen to the song and hear the word you expect a video that coincides not beyonce just dancing around again with no plot or depth to the actual video. I was dissapointed when I saw her video.
Also, Beyonce's father is doing what he is suppose to do-defend his daughter- let's face it she is talented, she is pretty and people do go to far with the rumors. His letter wasnt as bad as its being portrayed.

23. regarding Pearl part (#13): Angelina Jolie is 1/4 Native American, for those who care. Not part African-American, but I don't think I would consider it her putting on "Blackface".

24. BEYONCE IS NOT GOD'S GIFT THE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY...she is NOT the best singer, she sure ain't no dancer. I am a choreographer/dancer and the shit she does gives dancers a bad name! Stripper pole-HOE dancing does not qualify you as a dancer!

WHO EVER THINK SHE IS MAY NEED TO BE COMMITTED TO A MENTAL INSTITUTION!

25. Who said anything about BLACKFACE??
IT WAS AN INTRESTING ARTICLE AND I POSTED IT BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE!!!!!!!!
i JUST THINK IT'S MESSED UP THEY DID NOT OFFER THE PART TO A BLACK ACTRESS.
I'M NOT HATING ON HER I THINK SHE'S A COOL PERSON.

Beyonce is the best R & B artist out there (along with Usher) and to remain the best she gotta push the envelope (like Outkast). Reinventing herself should not be interpreted as being subpar. Real fans should be supportive of her efforts and should be looking forward to buying the B'day cd as a b'day present rather than hating. Go gal.

27. What in the world the video is cool I like it. There is always someone in the bunch that messes things up for B". Just leave the damn thing along.

28. It all comes down to this. When an artist (wheather it be music, painting, movies, whatever) has nothing to give from a talent stand point they always turn to controversy, sex or the just plain strange. (By strange I just mean not the norm, not literally strange.) So by african dancing and lap dancing and all the other shiat she's doing we just have to conclude she's just as generic as every other performer and trying to make herself stand out in whatever way she can. True she has a good voice but unfortunately in today's world, that doesn't matter to most fans. How many heavy girls do you see as pop idols? Even though some of them probably have the best voices out there.

30. I will say something I like about Beyonce and what I do not like about Beyonce.

NICE- She has drive and confidence

Not so- NICE- She was given way too much credit before she actually did something worth raving about.

NICE- She is so pretty

NOt SO- NICE: She needs to let go of the wigs and the mask. Just be who you are.

I think she basically took a chapter out of Jennifer Lopez's book. Except Beyonce can't dance and Jennifer Lpez can't sing.

I would respect Beyonce alot more if she was more innovative and relied less on her big ass and shaking it. I would like to see her take off the costumes and be real. I mean, this girl doesn't know anything about life. She has come from privilage. She knows nothing about real life. Don't you see how she only sings about men and looking good. Thats all she knows. I grew up istening to MAdonna and Michael jackson. They had something to say. Like :popa don't preach" and "Man in the mirror". What the hell does she sing about in her songs...NOTHING! She's all lights camera action and NO SUBSTANCE! But, with that said, people change and I hhope she sops selling her ass and starts selling her brains.
