Beyonce would be nothing without her looks, blonde weave and coochie popping skills. Her image is what sells because her music sucks.

To know that she's not 29 but really 36. She steals other people credit for their songs, clothing designs, gets by on her looks and the fact she has no shame in showing what should be kept private, etc. Can't stand liars and thieves.
