Need A Date? How About 30 In One Night?
Marian Wright Edelman: Still Hungry in America
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
With the promotion of her re-packaged 'B-Day' opus underway, Beyonce Knowles continues to go where no one else does.
On April 2, the booytlicious diva will do the unprecedented: appear and perform on two live morning television shows back to back. The multiple Grammy Award winning 'Dreamgirls' star will grace NBC's 'Today Show' and CBS's 'The Early Show,' confirmed her publicist Yvette Noel-Schure.
Meanwhile, Beyonce's superstar duet with Shakira 'Beautiful Liar,' has set the all-time record for biggest jump in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 bulleting upwards an unprecedented 91 slots (#94 to #3) in a single week.
The instantaneous hit -- which has also been recorded in Spanish and Spanglish versions -- is the first track 'B'DAY Deluxe Edition,' an expanded two-CD edition of the pop icon's best-selling Grammy-winning solo album, which will released April 3.

Keep that advice for yourself Gwen. Skip buying the re-packing of that album and others; save your dollars and walk slowly to the bank.

Man! Its sooo funny how people used to looove Beyonce and now they hate her guts. And what's funnier is she's done no worse than anybody else in Hollywood. Sure...she's embellished a couple of stories, but who hasn't? It just goes to show you that when you are at the top, people can be so hateful. Now suddenly, she's not pretty, she can't sing, she's a liar, she's crazy, her man's a cheater, she's a slut, ect. Did people really love her or is everybody just jealous of Beyonce. I think its nice for some people to see someone that seems so close to perfect make mistakes. It gives them some disfunctional validation of their own imperfect life. The attitude then becomes:don't look at me and my problems, look at Beyonce and her problems...she's got more problems than I do! Its kind of scary and CRAZY if you think about it.
I still think she's got a clever team behind her (some idiots too) and is very talented. I wouldn't buy this album, but she usually puts good stuff out there for today's young girl. B-day was obviously meant for the round-away girl in all of us. I liked it but it wasn't a classic CD. I hope her future albums consists of more classic songs that demonstrate her talent. She is one of the most classy and talented artists out there. She should just chalk this one up to a loss and move on to her next album.

I don't think everyone's hating on her, I just think she's oversaturated right now. Instead of her just waiting to come out with the album at a time that she could promote it (NOW!!), she's re-releasing it. She knew DreamGirls was coming out on the heels of her album the first time why release it in the first place!!!

beyonce is the best thing since sliced bread or the internet. stop hating. i agree with cat woman: everybody was on her brastrap a couple of years ago. now they all turned on her. shame on us black people. we need to be lifting her up instead of tearing her down.

I think that people like to see variety, She's just
doing her thing, I don't think that people are actually jealous, and maybe they are. But pretty much everyone knows their is more good talent out there. And the public just get tired of the same ole same ole. It gets old for every entainer that's on top.

I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I think that Beyonce is fantastic! I love her B-Day CD! I bought the first day it came out and I've listened to it just about everyday ever since.
I think that Beyonce is getting older, wiser, and more mature. I think her music is reflecting that. SO no you're not going to like or understand her music if you're 15 and never had a broken heart; no, you're not going to understand this album if you're 20 and never had the love of your life lie to you about being with someone else. On the contrary, if you have gone through some of the things she talks about in her album then yes, you will love it because you can relate to it.
So far as her personal life goes, who cares if her boyfriend cheated on her; who cares if she's a liar or a horrible diva behind closed doors. The point of the matter is the girl is talented - not only in her singing and producing career, but in her acting career as well. I say -- GO GIRL! DO YOUR THING! You are an inspiration to so many young African-American girls. In addition to your talent, you always appear in public at your best. You maintain that you are a lady and a force to be reckoned with. Congratulations on your success and I wish you much more in the future.
