She's another one I can't stand.

Haha. She doesn't even sing live. She always lypsinks! That doesn't work on Bway.

LMFAO! Oh how amusing the dreamers are...

I am not going to be bitter about it but unless she does some amazing work soon she better dash that dream. I cannot stand her music. I like all styles but her album to me was the biggest waste of 18 bucks. And I usually buy many many cd's.

Wow, BOJON, I know you are serious because you rarely have harsh words about any body. She must really work your nerves!

Beyonce annoys me too. She can't even act. She'd better sit down and allow Kelly and Michelle....the ONLY talented ones in that group to earn acclaim in their respectful genres that they are working in now. Kelly is a very good actress with potential, and I wish she would have some other projects, besides Freddy vs. Jason to show her acting chops. Not only can she sing very well, but to me, she was the prettiest of the trio. Michelle Williams, also a beauty, and a talented in her own right, is a terrific singer, whose solo projects I enjoyed immensely. Here's hoping that she does well with Aida. However, Beyonce is just awful all the way around. To me, I find her fake, her singing barely average, and her "acting" to be atrocious. People on this board complain about Mariah in Glitter, but did you see Beyonce in "Carmen: The Hip-Hop Opera" and the Austin Powers sequel? AWFUL. Here's hoping she never sets foot on a broadway stage.

Cheers,

Hire her for Bombay Dreams and let her lip synch to her heart's content.

I want a masseuse to come to my office everyday for 2 hours and work out my kinks for free. That'll happen around the same time Beyonce' wins a Tony. Which would be around the same time Debbie Gibsons'"Colored Light's" album goes platinum.

Oh, Al Dente that was quite funny. I definitely needed a good laugh, thanks.

All she knows how to do is have mommy make her dresses and look pretty.

Plus, is that even HER grammy? wasn't that the group Destiny Childs grammy? That girl gives herself way too much credit for a whole lot of nothing. I agree completely with everyone, she has no talent in neither singing nor acting so how exactly does she plan to make it on broadway?....OH RIGHT, shes Beyonce and Beyonce gets whatever she wants no matter what. Broadway is not going to be the same if she gets on there.

...I want a Tony too, and I don't even have an award!. Can we get press coverage for me? No? A shame.

As soon as the clip I knew I HAD to post it. LOL. I knew it would be a fun thread. LOL.

Did anyone else see at Bway.com that Michelle Willimas would love to do a Bway musical with all 3 DC girls.. now we know that 2 out 3 want to do one......

Whoa...some haters out there. Beyonce is the new Diana. Get used to it. And she did lip-synch on the VMA's but she did not on the BET Awards, Divas Live (Like Cher always does but people seem to love her anyway), or The Essence Festival...So she doesn't always lip-synch. She's definitly one of the hottest performers out there right now...I don't get it...praise for Britney Spears though? You have to give her credit for writing catchy-ass songs. I think she will have a Tony and whatever she sets her mind to.

If any hot pop star should be on Broadway I would much rather see Tamyra Grey..that girl can saaang and act. Beyonce is a flash in the pan and if anyone saw her last two movies then it would make you dread seeing her trying to act even more.

Hey - I posted my honest reaction, filtered with a little humor.

If getting a Tony were as simple as wanting a Tony, the American Theatre Wing would be mass-producing the demned things.

I forgot to mention thats a pretty smug thing of her to say. I feel like smacking her but she might lose her hair extensions.
