Beyonce' just Listen to the sound within me. My name is Aaron. I'm your #1 fan. But due to the fact I am....a boy, kids tease me everyday because you are my favorite singer. I want to meet you and do a song with you. Then maybe they will consider me gay anymore. But here is a poem I've written about your new album which is absoultley awesome!:

Dear Beyonce',
"1+1" may equal 2 but nothing can amount to you. So when they talk about you "I Care" about the lies and rumors they share. After a little while when no new song comes around, "I Miss You". Because singers like my ex-girlfriend are so bad, she "turned out to be the: Best Thing I Never Had". But then I realize you need time to "Party" because you'd "Rather Die Young" than to "Start over" and have a new life story. My friend Naje' likes to put your "Love On Top", but I like to "Countdown" how many Grammy(s) you got. Beyonce', "I will love you Till The End Of Time", I just want you to know "I Was Here". Oh, and by the way, boys "Run The World" just to be clear.

"Dangerously In Love"
Aaron

Beyoncé is known as a performer, fashion designer, Jay-Z’s missus, and arguably the most famous new mom in the world. But should she also be considered a social change agent? Kevin Allred, a doctoral student and lecturer in Rutgers’ Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, where he teaches “Politicizing Beyoncé,” thinks so – though, he says, the artist may not be “political” in the traditional sense of the word. “This isn’t a course about Beyoncé’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama’s inauguration weekend,” he says. Rather, the performer’s music and career are used as lenses to explore American race, gender, and sexual politics. Allred pairs Beyoncé’s music videos and lyrics with readings from the Black feminist canon, including the writings of bell hooks, Alice Walker, and even abolitionist Sojourner Truth. “Politicizing Beyoncé” emerged from Allred’s four semesters teaching Women’s Studies 101 at Rutgers, during which he and his students, both male and female, often discussed the thin line Beyoncé walks as a sex kitten-cum-girl power role model. “She certainly pushes boundaries,” Allred says. “While other artists are simply releasing music, she’s creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona.” Course topics include the extent of Beyoncé’s control over her own aesthetic, whether her often half-naked body is empowered or stereotypical, and her more racy performances as her alter ego, “Sasha Fierce.” In-class discussions often lead to other vocalists, including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Lady Gaga, and contemporary musicians who embrace the soul singing tradition like Adele and the late Amy Winehouse. More academics are beginning to explore race, gender, and sexual politics through popular culture and bring such discourse into their classrooms. Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson offers a similar course, “The Sociology of Hip-Hop: The Theodicy of Jay-Z,” on Beyoncé’s rapper husband. Allred welcomes conversation about the course, particularly from those who question the relevance of intellectual study of pop stars. “It’s important to shift students away from simply being consumers of media toward thinking more critically about what they’re engaging on a regular basis,” he says. “When students don’t respond to theory or dense readings, it’s often easier to see things play out in the world around them.” Kevin Allred is a doctoral student and lecturer in Rutgers' Department of Women and Gender Studies. A folk singer/songwriter and owner of an independent record label, Gutter Folk Records, Allred was initially drawn to Beyoncé’s work after listening to her second solo album, B’Day. He notes a raw quality in the technical production of the album, over which Beyoncé is said to have had total creative control. “It wasn’t as polished as her first and subsequent albums,” Allred says of B’Day. “You can even hear her breathing on the tracks, which is normally edited out. I wondered, ‘Why would you record a vocal to stand out in that way?’” Allred’s desire to merge his passion for music traditions with his interest in the politics of race, gender, and sexuality in the United States emerged during his undergraduate and graduate studies. He holds two degrees in American Studies – a bachelor’s from Utah State University and a master’s from the University of Massachusetts Boston. As a doctoral candidate at Rutgers, he is currently writing his dissertation on the ways black female performers manipulate their vocal qualities, including tone, timbre, and pitch. Growing up a white gay male in a relatively homogenous community in Utah, Allred spent a lot of time in the library. There, he discovered black feminist texts, including the works of Audre Lorde, Octavia Butler, and Toni Morrison. “Their work resonated with me in ways that other content hadn’t,” Allred says of the black feminist scholars. “I found myself identifying with their writing because racism, sexism, homophobia, and privilege are larger systems under which we all operate.” Allred only assigns his students writings by black women for “Politicizing Beyoncé” as black feminism is an academic discipline replete with identity politics. “Of course, there are people who’ll say, ‘You’re not black. You’re not a woman,’” he says of his research and teaching interest. “It’s something I’m always questioning and staying aware of so as not to overstep any bounds or make any claims for a group that I don’t belong to. It’s a fine line and I want to remain respectful of that.”

I have always loved Beyonce since her DESTINY'S CHILD days she is my role model to become a actress a singer and a mother/wife she is so good at what she does.... but thats not why i wrote this i wrote this to say i loved you but but you never loved me everytime i told you "I Love You" yo would say "O Me Too" i felt so unwanted so i tried to kill myself but it never worked but now i understand why God put me here for a reason and im going to make sure i live up to that reason just because you always put me down saying "I will never amount to anything" so im going to prove you wrong and so far im doing just that.... how far will you i make it i dont know but i do know im going to fight for what is mine and nobody can stop me from doing that so i just want you two to know im doing fine on my own out here and im 16 ON MY OWN so its tough but i have gotten through what has came my way for the past 2 years and i know ii can get through more so MOM and DAD thanks for making go through all this it has made me alot stronger but always made me not trust anybody my life has been a whole bunch of STRUGGLES but so far im getting through and we are missing out on some good times together but i will do better for my child then you did for me... you got me putting a strain on another family by making me stay with them so i have some where to lay my head im so thankful for them my bestfriend's family they are doing more than you have ever done for me and that is sad i just want yu to know I HATED YOU ALL THIS TIME but i forgive yo because if i dont this will lead into my adulthood and i don need that :'( i shed so many tears because of you while writinng this but hopefully you can understand my pain some day if not then you reading this wont makke a difffrence.... oh yea ii almost forgot to say THNKS FOR ALL THE LOVE....

"This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime. Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed."

Every since I was two years old I was listening to beyonce. She has been my inspiration for ever. I always wanted to be like the group Destiny's Child. My friends and I started our own girl group. Girls With Attitude (GWA).I exactly started writing songs because of Beyonce. If it wasn't for her i don't know what i'd be doing right now. So I say thanx to Beyonce and every member Destiny's Child. ( I like the reason why the group's name is Destiny's Child)

Bey says 4 is all about inspiration, to me her life is all about inspiration. If i had every single CD of Beyonce's I would never be sitting down listening to it, I would be singing along. I don't think she should ever retire. I would love to

B ! Hope u r enjoying your baby ! Muahz!!! Love you!

The Internet is rife with rumours that Beyonce has given birth to a baby girl. According to reports, which neither the singer herself nor husband Jay-Z have confirmed, the 30-year-old singer has named her daughter Tiana May Carter. The Single Ladies star is said to have delivered her first child at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital, a private facility in New York.

Her representation, both in the US and the UK has not been available for comment.

A story published by MediaTakeOut.com on Thursday claimed that nurses at the hospital were Buzzing at the news that they might be expecting Beyonce and Jay Z.

Life is too short for constant negativity. Over 60 years ago we didn't have the freedoms that we possess today, so why use these freedoms to hurt or judge?

Hello all Beyonce fans and hopefully B herself ,
I am new to B's website and I am loving it <3. I want to tell you a situation that changed my life. As you see my username is November_12_11. AND your probably wondering who in the world would put their username as that? Well for me November 12, 2011 was just an ordinary day until about 10:30p.m. My husband and I wanted to go to a movie "Jack and Jill" and we dropped off my 3 year old princess with my mom. So off we went and when my husband walked up to the window it was sold out. We usually watch another movie but this day we decided to go grab some things we needed for the house. We went to pick up my daughter bought her a couple things that would make her smile and were on our way home. When we got about five minutes away from our home. A drunk driver swerved into our lane and hit us head on. I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK... so much I could not remember too much from what happened. I just remember screaming from the top of my lungs JULYSSA!!! JULYSSA!!! My baby. I wanted to hear her and know she was ok. My husband was right next to me he was the driver. I didn't exactly know what was gonna happen or what just happened but all my family was ok. We were all to beat up to see the people in the other car. Unortunately the man who hit us was drunk. He had a total of 4 people in his car including himself and the passengar past away. It was all a big shock!!! I would of never in a million years thought that this would ever happen!! And that was the problem. We live everyday, at times not being thankful for the people we have in our lives, or just the everyday blessings. This day taught me the biggest lesson of my 22 years of life soon to be 23 on January 4th..Yes I have the same birthday as B's mommy...lol But it taught me that life is too short to wait for your dreams to come true!! It is too short to wait till tomorrow so I am more motivated than ever too make my happen. On January 31st I am going to audition for Nuestra Belleza Latina and I hope to make it!!! I hope that everyone out there can support me including one of my hugest inspirations B.

Love you all for taking the time to read this!!

Check out Beyoncé's performance of "I Was Here" that aired on ABC's New Years Rockin' Eve! Beyoncé filmed this beautiful performance in London earlier last year and was happy for this meaningful song to be part of Dick Clark's 40th anniversary celebration to bring in 2012!

To wrap up the year we look back at how 2+0+1+1=4 really got started. “The Year of 4” documents the year-long personal and artistic journey that inspired the album 4, while giving a glimpse into what was to come…
