STRICTLY BEYONCE ...

It's been a very busy week for Beyonce. And as she's in the UK now I wonder what she eats for breakfast. Boiled eggs? Toast? Cereal? Pancakes and syrup? crumpets? You name it. I've got more Scoop on Beyonce's Essence feature. So I'm just going to point out two things that fascinated me. In the article, Beyonce claims that if she wasn't doing music, she'd have wanted to be a psychologist. Huh? Oh, and she says black women in particular are shocked that she's, well, nice. Never mind wanting to be a psychologist Beyonce but I actually think YOU need to see one yourself as to why you act a fool concerning Jay-Z. I actually studied psychology as part of one of my Sociology modules at University. Interesting subject. Also, pschology requires a lot of reading. And you know reading is something Beyonce isn't in favour of.

When she appeared on Oprah, the queen of chat would ask her what was the last book she read. Beyonce would pause and stutter as if someone punched her in the stomach. Oprah didn't want to prolong this question any further because she knew Beyonce was academically lacking and therefore struggling to answer the question. So she asks what her favourite cereal is instead and Beyonce's eyes bright up as if she was a mice who caught sight of a piece of cheese. I thought that was quite condescending of Oprah because that's the type of question you'd ask a 6-year-old. Now as for the black women statement, in a society so discriminative, black women are stereotyped as having attitude problems not that it's true. Well, the only time I cop an attitude is if someone pisses me off or comes at me the wrong way. However, being nice is part of her job, you put on a pretence smile, say hello, sign a couple of autographs when asked and go along your business.

Besides, there are quite a few rough-neck black women out there and you wouldn't think twice about looking at them the wrong way. Well, here are some more promo pictures for Beyonce's new album. The one where she's in the bathing suit is flawlessly beautiful.

I was meaning to ask if anyone listened to Choice fm, and if so did they play any new tracks? These pictures below are of Beyonce arriving for the playback of her new album.

This took place at Regent St. nightclub in London. The person who attended gave a quick recap of what's to be expected of some of the album tracks. Irreplacable was described as a "clever ballad that may be the most memorable track on the album". This track was written and produced by Stargate, an anonymous Norwegian pop hit production team akin to Max Martin's boy band factory of a few years ago. The next track reviewed was Green Light which was described as a "bluesier soul number". This song was written and produced by melody makers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, aka The Neptunes. Suga Mama is suppose to be a track with "funk instrumental" and if it serves me correctly, Rich Harrisin produced this. There is also going to be a hidden track called Listen. The reviewer also slated Ring The Alarm and Deja Vu. He described Ring The Alarm as "annoying" (I agree wholeheartedly with this person). The reviwer also stated that a London radio DJ told last night that "Deja Vu" and Justin Timberlake's new "Sexyback" recently tied for least-liked records in his station's polling. Ouch! Below is the latest R&B mixtape which is hosted by Beyonce:

Toya yer site is amazing but if you knew a little more about writing you'd know that people don't like to read HUGE blocks of text. try to seperate your paragraphs better and it would be easier to read. THANKS

Umm...the bathing suti pic is hot, but it seems like I saw it (or a variation of it) before....I did. In the "Bossy" video. Seems like B. is copying Kelis again. See: http://thehowardinsider.com/2006/08/you-cant-be-serious-part-iii.html

CLearly you can see that the bathing suit in Kelis's video and what Beyonce is wearing is two completely different styles. Everyone is wearing them, Kelis was a one piece with the sides open while Beyonces is a tube two piece placed together. About the entire Oprah situation, it seems somewhat played out, you never know maybe after the oprah show she started reading more and found a passion in psychology. It shouldn't take away from the woman she is or what she is capable for. It seems like alot of people are judging her without realizing we all are looking from the outside in.

Beyonce is half cajun. Her father is black but her mother is cajun (black caucasian french mix from the Louisiana area). It's pretty common here in the States.

Those bathing suits may be from a well known designer. Both of them are different, so i wouldn't say b or kelis were copying.

I'm-a say what I always say when I see new Beyonce's pics up on here. Everyone of the pics in this post look better than the cover for "B'Rubbish".

The bathing suit pic, she looks HAWT! That DEFO shoulda been the album cover.

I had no idea that Beyonce worked with StarGate on her album till I read it earlier today. It wouldn't surprise me if Ne-Yo co-wrote this track, because it's rumoured he worked with her. And seeing as Ne-Yo worked with StarGate for his record and wrote Rihanna's "Unfaithful" with StarGate at well - it's highly likely.

My bad. I didn't even look at the minutes of the song or break thingy.

Beyonce's dad hustles for her to get writing credits. *lol* The way she co-wrote every track on "Survivor" except for "Emotion" was terrible. Michelle and Kelly didn't get to wrtie a damn thing except the whack outro, which is just them reciting what they wrote in the damn inlay!

The icing on the cake was with the "8 days of Christmas" album though. Silent Night - Written by B. Knowles. *HA!!!* Yeah roight!! 'Cos we all know Beyonce wrote that.
