76. Amen #15!!! Not that I agree with PETA at all, but she talks about empowering women and getting an all girl band to empower women etc etc, but she can't even speak for herself. Honestly, though, in light of her comments about Lauyrn Hill, she might want to keep her mouth shut. She sounded kinda bad on LH.

77. #52.... You are dead on it!! I have thought the same thing. I am 34 and I love music and I used to really like Beyonce, but I don't see the growth in her music. She does not inspire anyone to see their world differently. She sounds like a chickenhead with lots of money. Just listen to the lyrics of Ring the Alarm. Now, I can identify with the lyrics to a point, but really, when you are worth what she is worth financially, why put yourself behind that message? i know women that had way more and way less and said, " The hell with this! SHe can have the house, the car, the stones.. .. the man....I'm out." If she wants to empower people, make a song about, even though you cheated, I'm staying, because I'm committed even when you aren't. That's real empowerment. I don't like the messages she is sending to her young female fans that she is "supposed" to be empowering. I just don't see the growth.....

79. First to get this out the way the video has grown on me. The best part for me was the African dancing. As for ring the alarm, like the song , not crazy about the video although i like the fact she or whoever direct the video took the idea from Basic Instinct. As for Beyonce herself i cannot presume to know who she is as a person although i would hope she is a good person being that God has blessed her with this platform of stardom. What bothers me is as an black woman, through beyonce, i am told that the only way i will succeed in the music industry is if i have a straight nose, wash and wear hair, and buttermilk skin. Beyonce cannot help what skin color she was born with or hair texture, but it is pretty evident that with all her talent it didn't hurt her that she is light skinned, marketable and complacent. The only two true R&B singers that came along and could never be replaced were Lauryn and Aaliyah. Lauryn wasn't afraid to talk about social issues while making u dance but she lost her mind. And Aaliyah wasnt afraid to sing about love and heartache and dance at the same time. Two different singers who were personable and not about glitz and glamour. But what do i know, Beyonce has the music, the movies, the clothing line, the family and the guy. She must be doing something right

80. aren't the pro-beyonce comments on this site indicative of her target audience? Ignorant, immature, individuals?

Mission accomplished, "B"
