What did we, the human race, do to deserve the excellence of Beyoncé
The Guardian ^ | 22 October 2016 | Bim Adewumni

Posted on 10/26/2016 5:08:07 AM PDT by Cronos

When you think about it, the world is full of unexplained phenomena. Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near? Why do I continue to eat ice-cream when I have a lactose intolerance? We may never know. Here’s another mystery I’ve been grappling with for a few years: what did we, the human race, do to deserve the excellence of Beyoncé?

..Here’s why: raw talent and an unstinting work ethic. It’s that simple. Nobody works harder than Bey. The muscular voice, the obvious care when it comes to choosing her collaborators, the fashion and the thighs: they’re all just frosting. The cake is a ton of sheer hard work, which I was lucky enough to witness when I (finally) saw her in concert earlier this month. When you add in the maturation of her politics (feminism! police brutality! girls’ education!) and her style, Beyoncé is in a league beyond any other popular musician. “Empower” is one of those words much bandied about by marketers eager for women’s cash, but it’s truly how Beyoncé makes me feel. When I watch and listen to her, I feel a number of things: a surge of self-love, wonder, strength and a bubbling, excited joy at being a woman – a black woman, at that. That’s magic.

She may not be the pop star we deserve, but she’s the one we need.

No idea who the chick is besides her part in Austin Powers 3 : Goldmember, and I’m happy to keep it that way?
Substitute Lemmy with her name, and I might read on.

Isn’t she married to the Big Pimpin’ Jayzee with 99 Problems, the most perfect man next to Mad Man Mohammed?

I’d like to think the author of this piece for providing evidence that journalism is absolutely dead.

LOL, Cletus.D.Yokel, I can see how you would think that, but this is a tongue in orifice article!

What's that you say? She puts frosting on her thighs?

I like the way she grabs her p*ssy. And that’s about all she does that I find entertaining.

Her music and performances are irrelevant to me, but hubby and I did watch her when she performed at the Superbowl 1/2 time show whenever that was.

At the end of her “performance”, my husband said, “That was basically a porn act on stage in front of millions.” LOL

There are no words, really, to adequately describe the depths to which the Guardian regularly sinks.

Now that I know where the control box for the piped in music is at work, I can check and see who is singing the Lightweight tripe I hear. With lyrics like “I love you like a love song, baby”, I can understand why she needs to be a sex object to sell albums.
