Beyonce’…
Just the name evokes various emotion from many people across racial lines, genders, cities, small towns, states, countries. There’s power in her name. Beyonce’ has successfully made herself a BRAND, a SUPERSTAR, a total PERFORMER. She has a great team around her and she does it very well.
Every fan, every stan, every disgruntled person can’t seem to express enough of how they feel about Bey, many affectionally call her that and some are snarky. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but with many it goes beyond opinions. Many act as if they KNOW this young lady on a personal level. If you don’t like her music, if you don’t like how she carries herself, if you don’t like anything about her, here’s a sobering question.
Why do you indulge on anything Beyonce’?
The Grammy Award Winner is always under some type of scrutiny.
You would think with all the scrutiny, all the comments on blogs, all the negatives, the innuendos, she would break. While it is disheartening how people just GO IN on celebrities, at the end of their day, everyone should make sure their doorsteps are good to go, and empower themselves to go to as many levels as they can.
Beyonce’ was groomed for this business, a VETERAN in the business with a SOLID fanbase. She has the IT FACTOR and it is destined, this way of life has been destined for her. She took her talents, and she made good on them. Her family believed in her, sacraficed, many know the story of her life. For many who can’t stand someone they don’t know on a personal level, as sad as it is to say, it is a hard reality to accept her successes.
Here’s a reality check, she doesn’t care if you accept it or not.
It is what it is…
If Beyonce’ came with a cocky attitude, if Beyonce’ started saying she was the baddest bitch, the baddest chick in the game, if Beyonce’ dressed barely there offstage like 24/7, if Beyonce’ had to check into a drug rehab, if Beyonce’ was sleeping with someone’s husband, if Beyonce’ was a baby mama, a golddigger, if Beyonce’ couldn’t sing, if Beyonce’ wasn’t getting endorsed all the time, if she bragged about how some women won’t ever get a husband like she did, if she bragged on her shape, if she flaunted the fact men find her so appealing across the world, if she bragged how your man no matter how he denies it to you would risk your relationship to get one night only with her, if she claimed not being a black woman, if she, if she, if she, if she…. oh some of you would love it.
Love to hate even more.
Beyonce’ doesn’t fuel these accusations and claims, other’s do it for her. Some blog owners take delight in giving just enough headline to piss off the already Beyonce’ Bans. You all fall for it each and everytime. All some bloggers care about is fueling the ignorant state of mind to keep them eating, living good, driving stylish, funding their businesses. Take it from me, I have blog friends who talk about their readers in a way the readers would shudder. They act all down for you but really it’s about you keeping their lifestyle in check.
Check yourself. Why are you really mad at a celeb or can’t stand them but you tune in all the time to them?
As an Industry Professional I couldn’t tell you anything about those I am not checking for. When I don’t check for anyone or like the direction they are going, I don’t indulge. Oh before you say, ‘Hey you are a blogger, you might use the same tactics.” Check the credentials, this blog is not like the average Celeb gossip blog, and blogging isn’t my ONLY entity. This blog is a very small part of my entity. Check some of my other credits.
Just trying to show some who will listen to look at yourself and go within. Figure out why you really don’t like Beyonce’. Personal to Personal association, I could get it. It’s like you personally know her, other than that, it makes no sense.
Those who have such great affinity towards this young lady it all comes from not beng able to identify with her. If you don’t understand that statement, it’s pretty safe to say you are one who is not checking in any sort of way for Beyonce’. When I say identify I mean, she has some great qualities, she has conducted herself in a way, where many of her peers, many before her and many after her will not obtain, refuse to obtain.
I don’t know Beyonce’ personally but as a person in the industry, all of us at some point help to entertain those who want to indulge in the industry life. Beyonce’ has never made claims to be perfect. She is a performer. She is entertaining those who want to be entertained with what she has to offer, nothing more and nothing less. When you have a solid fan base, like she does, like others, you are golden. The TRUE BLUES aren’t gonna fade from the scene unless something really drastic happens and then many will stay firm, like a tree standing by the water, ‘I Shall Not Be Moved”. If someone is inspired about how she conducts herself professionally and what little they know personally, then that is on the individual. Many in the industry aren’t asking to be role models, they are going after their dreams and goals but if they inspire that’s a cool feeling.
Yeah had to put that famous classic gospel lyric in this post.
QUESTION…
Does anyone see Beyonce’ on twitter? Does anyone see Beyonce’ addressing the blogs when the harshest of critics go in on her?
We all have seen the celebs who have the thinnest skin known to man, just get fired up. They have the impossible need to prove themselves. Those who get their satisfaction from seeing how the celeb gave into their taunts continue to stroke their inflated egos.
Rather than respond, Beyonce’ can show you better than she can tell you. Twitter is great for social networking but some celebs have become too common, too accesible on twitter and their celeb stock has plummeted. Team Beyonce’ has done the best move ever by not having Beyonce’ casually on twitter.
Beyonce’ can show you better than she can tell you.
More endorsements, inking multi-million dollar deals, vacations anywhere she wants, access to exclusive events, living her dreams and more. Taking her pick on what company she wants to align herself with. The team that surrounds Beyonce’ has done an incredible job. When you look at it from a business perspective, you have to respect the whole vibe of it all.
Many want her to sit down, have some babies, and the latest just because she publicly at the Grammy’s acknowledged her husband the hatenatics went to the blogs saying she sent the subliminal message to Rihanna THIS IS MY MAN. Oh and here’s the good part, because Jay-Z didn’t make the declaration many wanted him to, they now say he dissed his wife. Oh how people missed much. Jay-Z is cool like that, it’s always been his swagger, he gave her a thank you, so many obviously missed.
Actually I don’t know any man I’ve been involved with who just gave a big declaration when we were out together. When you have to prove things to others, that is when you should really question the relationship. No one even talked much about how Jay-Z gave his WIFE a standing ovation after the recent Grammy performance. Selective memory is what I say.
Selective memory.
Of all the women in the world, Jay-Z made Beyonce’ is wife. Not a wifey, not a jumpoff, not a babymother, not a mistress but HIS WIFE. So many people, more females than males can’t even begin to understand what that means. Yeah many are gonna dislike me for this one but truth speaks. It’s hard to get some females who have no concept of truly valuing themselves to ever, ever understand if they present themselves correctly they too could be that wife. If you wanna be the wife.
When you really look at some of the comments from blogs, it’s clear to see a glimpse of the demographics, the mindset of many persons. They are the ones saying most of the nonsense.
DOES THIS APPLY TO YOU?
They want Beyonce’ to have a baby, when most times either they got one, some and can’t take care of what they have. The father of the child didn’t even want to PUT A RING ON IT. If we are fair, every father who didn’t put a ring on it didn’t mean they were at fault. There are alot of skanky women out here, with skanky attitudes, and they aren’t a helpmate, trifling like some men who would not be wife material. I am all for the greater good of empowering women but to keep it real, many are trifling with a capital T. They have yet to address some inner issues to even be in a healthy, happy relationship. All they know is have a baby to stay forever in a guys life. It’s a new decade and still some are on that ignorant way of thinking. They are the LET ME SET THIS UP QUEENS. IS THIS YOU? AM I TALKING TO YOU? Glorified babymama, glorified wifey, no moving on to the next level but their MANTRA goes, “I got his baby, I’m number one”.
In basic form, THAT DON’T MEAN JS… figure that out.
Beyonce’ is one of the greastest performers of our time. One of the greatest, not THE greatest. She’s empowered a generation with songs, she’s presented herself and has represented many Women of Color in a great way. While no one in the public eye feels comfortable being that representation, for the most part it is a role given by society not self. No one is without their faults but what she brings to the public is entertainment. Beyonce’ is a hard working woman like many others.
I could talk about so many other women but this post is about Beyonce’. In this industry, it is non-stop when you are on your A-Game, moving towards your best A-Game or perfecting your A-Game. Though it is quite a reach and a non realistic wish, if everyone who ever tossed out their doses of criticism for what those in the industry does had a full month to trade places, they would see things differently. I feel a full month of back to back interviews, deadlines, hair and makeup, editing, confirming, rejections, being under the microscope, having your family and friends under scrutiny, having yourself under the daily scrutiny, lies upon lies spread about you, going bi-coastal in one day, dealing with backbiters, getting awards for what you worked hard to do on the daily, receive some standing ovations, adored, etc they would definitely view things differently.
Beyonce’ is at a peak, yes another peak in her career.
The history of Entertainment goes like this, there will always be someone else who has that IT FACTOR to explode upon the scene. History has shown this. The time is now to really go for your full potential if you haven’t done so. It’s not rocket science, it’s The Entertainment Industry Life. If you aren’t in the life, you are indulging from an audiencesque view in the life, so enjoy.
No one is forcing you to tune into those you have great affinity for.
I feel a Black Sheep Moment coming on… ‘The Choice Is Yours’.
LOVE TO MR. AN MRS. CARTER
