Amazing Beyoncé!

Trent, what the hell is your problem with Beyonce seriously? What the fuck?

FOLK HAS TO REALIZE THAT TRENT IS just A BLOGGER SO HE GIVE HIS OPIGNON WHICH IS JUST a subjective OPIGNON ITS NOT LIKE ITS THE HOLY TRUTH U HAVE TO GET OVER WHAT HE SAY BS OR NOT and move on like i do everytime he bash beyonce

Does she think we think she is singing live? and that “I was here” bubble Reminds me of the Kony one (No Shade) Nice Video but whoever directed that should be left dust! I could of thought f that in a minute. Bad lypsyncing + Clips of struggling people + Audience members clapping The basic bitches…

Anyway the song is cute, the production is on point as always but the lyrics were awful as usual. Anyone who does not see how self obsessed this woman is is blind.

And Beyonce, you will be remembered. For lying about your age, daughter (Solange), faking a pregnancy, being in a cult called “The Black boule” against people of you own kind (blacks) and just being overall a terrible person. You and Jay-z are the textbook example of horrible people

Trent you’re such a hater. Like damn no matter what she does you always seem to find a way to hate!

THE SHADE IS THICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile back at the ranch Triumpant
Is Ray Charles to the Billboard hot 100.
Don’t be mad at Bey.

Great video for a great cause. She sounded great too!

Out of all the sites that posted this video why come here if you don’t want to hear what Trent says? Simple as that…

@Girl

Didn’t say that in the last Beyonce post like a few days ago? I like said you’ll make sure to watch the video, and this won’t be your last Beyonce video you’ll be watching lmao!

Jeesh Trent! What did Bey do to you? I used to laugh at your shade towards her, but recently it has become plain childish. You are the new Sandra Rose when it comes to Beyonce post.

@Jeejees I really like Trent and I appreciate his honesty no matter who/what the subject is, so I will support his blog. It is just the Beyonce post of late have just been plain hateful.

I really thought this video would be a real live performance. With her actually singing live, kinda disappointed… She looks good though lol

GREATNESS!

(And if she was lip syncing she did an amazing job!)

@ Gracie

I guessed you missed the 70 ft projection screen behind her….it was full of world issues. Watch the video again and you might see it this time.

The lyrics are lame, the video montage could have been better, and the shots of Beyonce’s fans in the crowd mixed in with shots of starving people were crass. The biggest problem with the song is that “King Bey” (gag) doesn’t have a powerful enough voice to sing it. She’s straining HARD. I’d cut her some slack if I took her concern seriously, but I don’t.

For the person who brought up Triumphant–yeah, it flopped…and so will I Was Here, just like every other song on 4.

This is blog is basic Trent behavior is no different than the other blogs he came to be better than. And whose self indulgent than Mariah. I guess we won’t get a post of Beyonce dance for you charting higher than tryandforgetaboutit. Sad lamb

AMAZING SONG. SUCH A GREAT TALENT

I read this site everyday and I follow Trent on Twitter. I LOVE him

@Inc, hey boo! *waves hand* I love Trent’s shade/humor/commentary he is so damn funny. Not everyone has to go along with or agree with everything Beyonce or any other artist does for that matter. You Stan’s of Beyonce are absolutely ridiculous for attacking everyone that comments about her. Didn’t Beyonce use this same song for 9/11 last year and now she is using it again. I guess this time she hopes to get some kind of huge response since the 9/11 tribute wasn’t enough. I’m a fan of her music but I can still have an opinion when I feel that it isn’t genuine, after all, it is my right.

Bey’s vocals were really good, and the video was ok. I feel like Trent you say some unnecessary negative comments whenever you post about Bey. I understand having an opinion but how is it an issue that a video came out early? Also, I don’t reakky

Also, how does she act full of herself? I think that anytime she tries to do something good people attack her, but what are we doing? Are we doing all that we can to help people everyday, if not who are we to judge her at least she is making a difference, even if you think she is self-absorbed. There is nothing wrong with not liking Beyonce but at least give credit where it’s due.

I don’t get why people come on a BEYONCÉ post when they don’t like her…

Idk if you stans realize this but you’re putting money in trents pockets by coming on here and expressing your frustration with the way he words things. At the end of the day whether you liked what he wrote or didn’t like it, he’s still getting paid…So if you don’t like the constant shade you think he throws at beyonce why give his site any hits?

I dont understand how someone would stan for a narcissistic person like Beyonce. This is not for her, this is for her own self gain. All of you fans are just stringing along with her like she gives a damn about you, all of you are her cash cows brainwashed illuminati puppets and make her richer by the album.

flop.

Beyonce will donate the proceeds from her latest single and video “I Was Here” to the United Nations’ global campaign to run humanitarian aid organizations, it has been announced. The pop diva and songwriter Diane Warren have joined up with the U.N.-run initiative, which aims to encourage regular people (well, if you think Beyonce is “regular people”) to get involved in charity work. The video for “I Was Here” will be shot at the U.N. General Assembly Hall in front of a live audience that may not consist entirely of world dignitaries. The single and video will be released worldwide on Aug. 19, which so happens to be World Humanitarian Day”

This isnt a news blog, its merely a struglling gossip blog masked as a ‘music blog’. The writer, and I use that word loosley, does no form of research before posting anything. What this struggling blog writer is doing is blogging 101, pit the readers against each other so that they argue and the number of commenst increases, thus he get more hits which = more $$ in his pocket. Please dont fall for it.

I think many are too hard on Beyonce SOMETIMES. There was nothing wrong with this video, really. Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” was a similar affair; although were clips of humanitarian crises around the world he had endless shots of screaming fans fainting all over the place.

What strangles Beyonce’s attempts at being seen as “sincere” is the fact that she never raises awareness about anything. Her 4 solo albums contain NO socially conscious songs and revolve around her being in love, a diva, having and ego and upgrading people.

Superstars before such as Janet, Michael, Bruce Springsteen, Annie Lennox, Stevie Wonder, James Brown and so many countless others have gone out of their way risking controversy and public backlash (on their sales potentially) to stand against the tide, confront their governments and donate their OWN money. Beyonce, on the other hand, being a mega millionaire appears on Anderson Cooper with an official from the UN to talk about “Giving out hugs”! Honestly, if I had been there I would have loved to ask her why she doesn’t give out her cash at the end of those “hugging” arms?

It’s this kind of delusionment that disqualifies her from being an icon. They should NEVER enlist someone who has to resort to using evidence of giving $100,000 4 LONG years ago to her own country as evidence of being a true humanitarian when she’s continued working and making more money.

As for Jay-Z, I don’t even know if there’s any point in going there. He and his wife have endeavoured to build their own world religion, I’ll never believe these two can be so selfless when their output and image typify self-glorification.

Where’s Princess Diana, who raised her children to see and know the homeless and raised awareness for so many causes including Angolan landmines!? A country which had nothing to do with Britain or the Commonwealth.

As I said before, I just can’t with these celebrities who “raise money” through their charitable appearances but never donate their own cash (or a significant amount, i.e. Michael Jackson Dangerous Tour). God have mercy on you, because if you neglect the poor with your wealth you will surely answer to Him.

let me jus say this, a lot of you (including Trent) need to do your research. Beyonce is always doing something that’s humanitarian. Her work isn’t publicized though. She’s said in numerous interviews that she doesnt like to go around boasting about what she’s done because then it makes it seem like it’s not genuine. I dont see how you all say she’s selfish when she’s far from it. I would know first hand that this woman has one of the purest hearts, genuine, etc. It’s funny how the haters seem to think they know her when in actuality u really truly don’t.

@ Matthew Charley-Smith

I don’t know if you are aware of this or not, but MJ’s ORIGINAL video for “Man in the Mirror” does not contain any images of Michael himself or his screaming fans. The opening performance of MITM in his “Moonwalker” film does. Also, Michael has given millions of his OWN money to countless charities, organizations, and families who could not afford to bury their loved ones. He’s even in the Guiness Book of World Records for most charities supported by a pop star. Next time do your research before you try to compare one artist’s efforts to another.

As far as the “I Was Here” video goes, I thought it was alright. Nothing spectacular. But I didn’t find it to be self-indulgent. I just hope Beyonce’s heart was in the right place in doing this video, seeing as though I don’t know what’s truly in her heart.

@Matthew

A lot of the stuff Beyoncé & Jay does is out of the public eye. They don’t look for the press on anything they do. If your going to do something do it because it’s right not for exposure.

Beyoncé doesn’t broadcast stuff out in the public but she is definitely helping. I know for a fact she does a lot of work with GEM, a program that helps prevents sexual exploitation of young girls. Is that not a social issue?

She has done a LOT for others but is not pushing it in the media’s face all the time…! She donated her movie paycheck of 4 million to a charity for female drug addicts when she played the addicted Etta James in Cadillac Records,and also began a training program in Cosmetology for that same center to give those recovering addicts REAL SKILLS for a job and she continues to endow that center in support yearly. She also has a foundation for Katrina Survivors in Houston and has done dozens of food drives at her concerts as well as outright million dollar donations to many charities. She has also helped the First Lady with her campaign againist childhood obesity. She has also been involved with a charity to help teenage prostitutes leave the streets. Beyonce has done more than these things,gives miillions and donates her time a lot.

Is Beyoncé out there speaking on the prison industrial complex and immigration reform? No, but is she whom you want to hear about on those topics anyway? Our pop cultural mediums could definitely stand to be less vapid, but to what extent and how far should entertainers go remains a legitimate debate.

Beyonce does things for others, but she also does things for her personal benefit. The video was aight. It’s a little too look at, me but it was aight.

@JustAnotherPerson whenever Beyonce see’s someone receiving a ton of attention, she then wants to become part of the movement. She’s been writing all of these letters, and getting inspired by everything. She always has to turn something into her. It makes her look good when she attaches herself to things that already serve good purpose.

Is it really our fault that she’s SOO transparent and that only her mentally challenged fans don’t get it?

brilliant marketing and self promotion while also appearing to be simply about humanitarianism…gotta give it up to her promotional team. They are brilliant

This…. It’s not that anyone is hating, but she does make things about her. That whole video screamed look at me. Whenever, she does something it’s like i’ll do this but only if i get something out of it.

Don’t be mad at Bey.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I literally rolled off my couch laughing at that! Good one. And the “Tryandforgetaboutit” comment? Genius. lol Good video Beyonce.

@ Ben. M, Dead at you spelling “Triumphant” wrong lmao, you tried and failed. Also, “Triumphant” is not meant for the BB 100 Hot, its too urban. Besides, “Triumphant” hasn’t even been out a month, yet, and you’re calling it a “flop?” Try again, sir, in about two months, then we’ll see if its a “flop.”

Well she’s known to try to release music to take the spotlight off of others.

I know MJ’s orig video for Man in the Mirror is different, but that’s not the popular one is it?

Anyway, I know what point I was making, I love MJ but we can’t mention one without the other that makes us just act as blind stans. MJ was king at promoting worldwide chaos over himself, HIStory album promotion video anyone?

Google Beyonce and Illuminati. There you will find Rianna, Lady Gaga and on and on about Free Masons and new World Order with symbols all over the music industry. She is a sellout, taking people in with physical beauty/ sex. I have loved her and her music until seeing her alterego, which she admits to “becoming bad” to perform in evil terms. Check it out for herself–a self-proclaimed Satanist since her marriage to one. Also, the song proclaims, ” I Am Here,” which into intonates trough the entire song that WE are to get credit HERE for all the good WE do here—Lucifer did the same. she takes public credit for everything she does–so does Satan–check out all the link on her Illuminati connections yourself. Beyonce sees herself as a Godess and one of your Saviors..watch her again showing her ASS first while filming at the UN.
