Neena, That is very shocking...lol. But i think we talked respectfully to each other, that has a lot to do with it. Most people get too caught up and forget others have opinions and that's their right! This is my way of wasting time at work anyway.

Rihanna has surprisenly become the most popular. I never thought her voice was that strong but she's doing something right. I think her music is fun sounding now that she's being herself. When she first came out she was marketed as older and sexy now she seem like a true teenager. Poor thing, Kanye West looks like he's been fixing cars in that outfit, he needs to take some time off.

Rihanna has lightened herself or haven't been out in the sun in a long long time!! She's a pretty girl but a little to pale looking, somehing about her complexion her definately changed..

Honestly, I think B-day should have been I Am Sasha Fierce, cause Single Ladies just seem to go better with that sound. Its just weird to me that she's still singing songs like this and being married.. Of course, I would have the same opinion about Usher. I couldn't get Love in this Club while he's married to that old woman..lol..Isn't amazing how we've had this conversation and haven't called each other haters, ugly, fat, jealous, etc..since we disagree on Beyonce..lol.. shocking!

Neena, Yeah she could have waited a little longer being that her sister's cd just came out not that long ago, and Michelle's cd....but i guess she feels family and friends are competition too. That's just like venus and serena, they just have to accept one can only win. Personally i think her music has grown maybe not as much as others would like but she is still young and has a whole life ahead of her. I think her being different and no one really being like each other is what makes each of these artists like Beyonce, Rihanna, Alicia keys stand out. Because they are so different though they are all beautiful and talented.

MJ.. I feel you and respect your opinion. I just think that with her sister's album release, less than a few months old, that she could have waited to release her CD. And honestly, I think she's obsessed with becoming an ICON, when she really hasn't achieved "ICON" status. If she wanted to be like Tina Turner, then she should go away like Tina or Sade or Anita Baker has,l ive her life away from the spotlight, so she can be the true "celebrity" and protect her brand and privacy. And then after a few years really give her fans an ultimate experience. My opinion, I think she knows that her 15 mins is gonna be up, when she does step off the stage, but her career has been more about gimmicks and booty shaking.

Neena, Ur absolutely correct, everyone has their own opinion of everbody, but at the same time, Beyonce is doing what she loves and it is a competition out there to sell records and to keep your fans. I really don't think it's her to duty to think or feel she has to come down being a DIVA so that other female performers can have a "CHANCE".....To me it just sounds crazy and means these other artists need to step up their talent! In MY OPINION! I liked every female performer but to me Beyonce killed it when she performed............no one topped her performance or vocals while dancing and putting on her show.

Quiet Storm.. My perspective: I think most folks are experiencing Beyonce Overload..She's a good entertainer and decent singer and attractive. But some folks make her out to be the Second Coming and believe she can turn water into wine. I can appreciate her work ethic and drive to the best. But at times, it seems as if she's doesn't want anyone to upstage her or have a decent shot in the limelight. And no, she isn't the hottest chick in the game, IN MY OPINION..just an overrated, media hyped personality.

I LOVED Neyo's performance. Also he's one of very few Black males at this time who sings uplifting songs about us black ladies. In addition the music is hella tight to!

Nick and Mariah look gorgeous together!Whats the deal about the age? I see some guys 30 yrs older than their female counter parts. And Mariah looks 24. Younger than Nick!
