Rolling Stone Bashes Beyonce
The Bible of Music, Rolling Stone, recently published a review of Beyonce’s B-Day re-release. According to R.S, B.D sucks major monkey balls. Check out an excerpt from the article.
Remember when Beyonce was cool? Okay, not cool, exactly, but cooler. She broke away from the occasionally charming Destiny’s Child thing and came out with this giant solo album Dangerously in Love, dominated international airspace with her runaway single “Crazy in Love” and started showing up everywhere on Jay-Z’s arm.
Since then, her boyfriend has released a mediocre comeback album and is helping sell Budweiser and diet Cherry Coke for dudes. B, meanwhile, had to watch an American Idol reject steal the Dreamgirls spotlight and has been reduced to chasing the alleged “Latin audience” with “Beautiful Liar,” a militant, guy-loathing duet with Shakira.
And now this “Upgrade U” video comes out. It features a bling-wearing alligator, shots of the pop star doing a J Lo impression while sitting awkwardly in the trunk of a white Rolls, some terrifically bad hair and a weird sequence in which Beyonce impersonates her boyfriend. (In her eyes Jay apparently wears gold hoop earrings and regularly curls his lip like a blinged out cross-dressing Elvis impersonator).
For a second there, it was possible Beyonce was going to be the R&B diva version of J.T., transforming from cheesy pop tart to genius pop star in one solo album. Instead she’s become a glossy self-parody, whose artistic influence on her formerly untouchably awesome boyfriend seems to be…the opposite of good.

I’m from New Orleans, and I just want the world to know that Ms.B got all her dances from the “Get Me Body” video from the New Orleans. Thats our bounce dances, but Ms. Thing is writing it off like she made them up. Those dances are so old. It’s cool that she’s jocking our style. you want go anywhere in the world and see those dances. She needs to remake the video and use guys from New Orleans in it to show her how to do them right. Please? but the album is alright , I’ve heard better.
