    Honestly her voice is nothing to brag about. THAT F****** ANNOYING VIBRATTO OF HERS!! Soooo freakin fucktastic. She’s no better than any Idol finalists. No hate — just the truth and yall know it.

  28. I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO PROVE TO ANYBODY July 5, 2011

    LMFAO KING B is just slaying these so called singing heffas left and rite! This woman is truly an amazing singer and shes UNSTOPABLE! I see why lacfronce and perrylicious are always hating and pissed. They are mad because S******, R**** and Katy dont have any kind of singing talent and lord knows they dont know how to dance. KING B is truly the model of how a singer should be. If i was a hater and stan for S******, R**** and Katy, ill probably jump off a cliff than saying something bad about KING B when i stan for those three. #BEYONCE IS SIMPLY A LIVING LEGEND!

  31. LACEFRONCE. THE USER FORMELY KNOWN AS BEYAKI. July 5, 2011

    4 is definitely a flop. Even RiRi debuted at 91k whereas BLEACHonce debuted at 89k in the UK. The album will flop flop flop down the charts week after week.

    BLEACHonce=washed up. 🙂

  32. JUDAS666 July 5, 2011

    I have enjoyed my 4th of July. Now LACEFRONCE has returned.

  36. Landon July 5, 2011

    Got to love Beyonce for being triumphant in the midst of all the sabotaging. That is why I love her so much. She shows people who are hateful she believes in a higher power plus herself and that beats out non-sense all day long. Congrats on this performance, as well as, all the #1 achievements she got in so many countries on first week sales of 4. I know I helped the U.S Sales by buying 4 copies of 4 to make sure she got her just do. Cannot wait for the concert to come here.

  37. Jamir21 July 5, 2011

    @ lacefronce Lacefronce needs to return back at what he`s doing sucking a d*** !

  40. Jamir21 July 5, 2011

    Maybe this Beyonce`s Rated R era because Rihanna didnt do that go with Rated R it flopped hard ! The only song that didnt flop from that album was Rude Boy ! lol
    “Russian Roulette”, “Wait Your Turn”, “Hard”, “Rockstar 101”, “Te Amo”=Flop
    Dont you rihanna fans come after me I am a fan of hers !

    @JAMRI21-STFU!!! QUEENBEY cd is NOT like Rihtards Rated R cd- Rated R debuted low as hell on da charts and was NOWHERE near da #1 spot on BB 200!!!

  43. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    @Queenbey LOOK THATS WHAT ALL OF THEM SAYING LOUD GETS 91K WHILE 4 GETS 89K ! RIHANNA HAS SOLD OVER 80 MILLION WHILE BEYONCE ONLY HAS SOLD 75 MILLION ! THATS SOME F****** B******* ! BEYONCE IS BETTER !

  44. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ jamir21

    LMAO @ Rihanna sold 80 million WW!

  45. Haiku July 5, 2011

    Rihanna is on Roc Nation.
    Jay Z is the founder OF Roc Nation.
    Jay Z is married TO Beyonce.

    Dont EVER let the hater’s take things out of perspective.

  46. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout July 5, 2011

    @JAMRI21- All of who??? Lacefront???? Ppl are so easily influenced by 1 comment…
    QUEENBEYS 3 solos albums>>>>>>>>>Rihtards 5 solo albums

  47. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout July 5, 2011

    *typo: solo*

  48. Bey’knight July 5, 2011

    Too bad they dont make em like B anymore

    U kno someone is screwed up in d head when they emphasize a 3000 unit sales lead over 100,000 units sales lead

    I guess av to look with tunnel vision to deal with Beyonce’s success, too bad we dont care

    @JUDAS

    show me ur 16 grammys then we’l talk bey’s voice then. U kno haters r desperate to throw shade when they go off topic. Losers!

  49. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    Exactly! Everytime Rihanna sells one of her mediocre albums B is “that’s another pair of Louboutins for me, thank u”! LMAO!

  50. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    But Rihanna has 10 number one hits while Bey has only five !
    p.s. I AM A BEYONCE FAN !

  51. @RATIOLUV July 5, 2011

    GREAT PERFORMANCE THIs song best thing I never had are REALLY EASY FOR B there NO CHALLENGE AT ALL NO DANCEING AND NO TECHNICAL MELOdies , also it’s not about who has the most number 1 it’s about classic SADE Dont have a million number ones but her music touch millions she a legend and that’s what B is

  52. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Jamir21

    Half of those aren’t hers so I fail to see what point ur trying to make? All of B’s #1’s are her own songs. And u should count the 4 she has with Destiny’s Child since let’s be honest was all B anyways.

  53. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @DC3

    haha it’s true!
    I dont mind Rihanna but some of her fans are crazy.
    If Rih was such a boss she would be managing herself – like Bey!

  54. Choker July 5, 2011

    LMAO @ the haters. Hate all you want but KING B ALWAYS GETS THE LAST LAUGH!! It’s like she says, SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO ANYONE! (Emphasizes that in RTW) She’s done that already and has TONS of awards to show for it. FACT of the matter is she is the best! She is the definition of an artist. Hating on her won’t make her any less talented & successful or your faves more.

  55. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    Belee dat!!

  56. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Jamir21

    And also the best part is that despite Rihanna having 5 more number 1’s than B, B still has more weeks at #1 than Rihanna, because if u notice all of Rihanna’s songs go to #1 for one week and then they vanish. lol

  57. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    Plus Beyonce is in the middle of two talented artists Lady Gaga and Rihanna !
    Best Thing I Never Had is number 58 ! While Born this Way is 57and Man Down is number 59 ! Yay ! Rihanna has more dancable songs than Beyonce !
    Loud has alot of good songs the whole album is a masterpiece !
    “S&M”, “Whats My Name !?”, “Fading”, “Raining Men”, “Skin”, “Man Down”, “California King Bed”, etc.,
    4 has only a few songs that I like
    “Countdown”, “BTINH”, Start Over”, “I Care”, and “End Of Time”
    Loud >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4 !

  58. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Jamir21

    U may be too young to realize how foolish ur sounding but just because something is “danceable” as u put it, does not make it better. If u want to dance to mindless music with no true meaning, then by all mean go buy LOUD. However, if u have a brain and want to be taken on a ride of emotions then get 4. 4 is CLASSIC material and LOUD is throw away trash.

  59. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    I have Loud already and I think its better than 4 !

  60. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    Im 13 !

  61. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    I have Loud and 4 and I play Loud the most often than 4 !

  62. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    Ummmm, that’s nice. But no one else really cares so…….. *leaves room to leave you all by yourself*

  63. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    Goodbye !

  64. aisha aguilera keys July 5, 2011

    Her voice isn’t amazing here, though. It sounds strained, guess from all that screaming. Screaming’s ok, but u have to be a pro at it, otherwise it gets the best of you.

  65. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    Good ur leaving. And the fact that ur 13 just confirms why u chose LOUD over 4

  66. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    I didnt leave what are you talking about !

  67. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Aisha

    U prolly got some wax build-up cuz there was no straining. Sometimes unecessary shade is just that UNECESSARY. smh…

  68. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    U said goodbye so……

  69. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    I was kidding !

  70. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    Maybe its right what Lacefronce and Prettylicious and Skin said about us beyonce fans !

  71. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout July 5, 2011

    @DC3- 100% I cosign ur last 4 comments
    🙂

    @JAMIR21- Ur ONLY 13, u probably thought Harry Potter was based on a true story :/

  72. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    Couldn’t tell u, I don’t pay attention to those trolls…

  73. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @Jamir21

    It sounds like all you want to do is DANCE and not THINK.
    That’s why Rihanna can get away with a song about S&M
    And market it to her 13 year old fans.

    You DO know what she is singing about right?

  74. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    No i didnt I knew it was a bunch of fantasy !
    Plus I like Jersey Shore better !

  75. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    I`m a big fan of Jersey Shore not Potter !

  76. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    And they wonder why the new generation is so lost. Your honor I present exhibit A *points at Jamir21* These youngin’s too busy listening to a goat yodel about s** and whips and chains to realize the brain damage it’s doing to them.

  77. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    Wow 13 and u watch Jersey Shore, no wonder u like music like Rihanna’s.

  78. nice_gurl July 5, 2011

    I’m nearly 15 and I hate Rihanna. I only listen to real music like Beyonce, Alicia, Usher. I’m able to identify real talent.
    Anyways, this performance was amazing, just like all the others she has done. I compare them all and all the Glastonbury ones were amazing.

  79. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout July 5, 2011

    @DC3- (clarafication needed) Ur comments @ 5:56, 6:07, 6:16, 6:31- 100% cosign

  80. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku Yes I do
    @DC3BKM Jersey Shore is the best !
    Rihanna is just like Beyonce a legend !

  81. aisha aguilera keys July 5, 2011

    @ DC3
    Why should I argue w/ u? For God’s sake, u’re argueing w/ a 13 yr old, how dumb could u be? How am I throwing shade? Again, her voice sounds strained from all that screaming, nothing u can say will change my opinion. How do u know that u’re not the one w/ wax build up? Whatever.

  82. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Aisha

    I didn’t ask u to argue with me, ur doing that all ur own cuz clearly u have nothing better to do.

  83. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    DEAD @ RIhanna being a legend. Maybe legend to the goats…

  84. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @ DC3
    LOOOL
    Damn right!

  85. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    @DC3BKM I bet you was born in 1990 !
    Rihanna is a legend like Beyonce
    If Rihanna was back in 2003 she would have slayed Beyonce !

  86. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ QUeenbey

    Thanks boo!

  87. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @Aisha

    It did sound like you were throwing some (facetious) shade.

  88. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    See thats Jay-Z`s fault he should have released rihanna back in 2003 when she was discovered !

  89. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    LMAO!!!! Jamir, little boy take ur ass to bed or go watch ur Jersey Shore. U clearly lack the intellgence to carry on this conversation. LMAO! RIhanna is garbage

  90. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    That’s what Aisha does, she throws thinly veiled insults around and then acts surprised when she gets caught. lol

  91. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @ Jamir21

    So you know that S&M is :
    the activity of getting sexual pleasure from sadism (= hurting other people) and from masochism (= being hurt) right?

    Do you think it’s appropriate to listen to that song at 13?
    Just asking

  92. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    Rihanna is going to Jay-Z `s new wife !

  93. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    And also RIhanna would never have made it back then. The further back u go the more u will find real music that was prominent. SOmething RIhanna will never be able to make.

  94. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    That little kid just exposed himself, I knew he was an under cover B hater masquerading.

  95. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    U just used a bunch of word that someone who watches the Jersey SHore will never understand. lol!

  96. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    @DC3BKM I do know what that means ! Rihanna would have made it back then in 2003 plus 2005 had real music !

  97. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @ DC3

    Nothing wrong with throwing shade, just be honest about it.
    It is what it is.

  98. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    U r sooooo beyond help! lol

  99. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku

    Pretty much. OWN ur shade! lol

  100. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    I love Rihanna !

  101. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @ DC3

    HAHA

    Dont drag the kid too much lol

  102. ChrisJ July 5, 2011

    why even reply to jamir21..he obviously stuck on stupid and needs to attend summer school…he bashes beyonce but praise rihanna lmao thats comedy right there..he tongues kiss rihanna stank ass a little to much to making claims shes a legend..OH GOD THIS VIRGIN TO THE LIGHT

  103. aisha aguilera keys July 5, 2011

    @DC3
    Well, u attacked me for stating my opinion. Whatever. I’m not the one who came at u accusing u of having ear wax. So who threw the insult? B’s voice is strained. B herself admitted that she tries hard to be a good performer and not all her performances are great, so whatever. I’m not acting suprised because I didn’t curse anyone, didn’t call B a flop or BEYAWNCE, just said her voice was strained, why so sensitive?

    @ Haiku
    Same goes for u- B’s voice is strained. Not even my “faves” escape my criticism, so why should B? This isn’t a good performance in my opinion, nothing u can say wil change that.

  104. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    Chris J

    DEAD @ Virgin to the light!

  105. jamir21 July 5, 2011

    @ Beyonce is not better than MJ !
    She has 16
    He has 18 !

  106. ChrisJ July 5, 2011

    typo steer

  107. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Aisha

    I didn’t insult u just stating facts. And B ain’t never said no such thing. Receipts! Take ur veiled shade and go somewhere else cuz it aint working here.

  108. Haiku July 5, 2011

    @ AISHA

    I dont have ANY Intention of changing your opinion. Keep it. That’s fine.
    I was simply saying that the accusation of you throwing shade was in fact warranted.

  109. aisha aguilera keys July 5, 2011

    @ DC3
    You take ur veiled shade and go away! If u state facts, then my opinion is a fact, too. Why so sensitive? Ok, I’m going to have to tell u something, DC3, I know this is going to b rough but here goes- U are NOT B. And B did say that.

  110. DC3BKM AKA XEMA, DILLA, BEYODEL & FEMMEFATALEBARBX’S OWNER July 5, 2011

    @ Aisha

    My shade isn’t veiled I dont hide unlike u. And why ur going off on a tangeant and saying im not B is beyond me?Makes no sense….And again if she said it shiow me the receipts! Because everyone and they mama know B never said that. I think the site ur looking for is Mediatakeout

  111. aisha aguilera keys July 5, 2011

    @ Haiku
    I didn’t throw shade. B’s voice is strained. If that keeps u from sleeping at night, too bad.

  112. aisha aguilera keys July 5, 2011

    @ DC3
    No, it was that MTV thing, if I remember well.Since u got time to waste and u love B so much go check it out, I got other things to do. Don’t know that site u’re talking about. Trying to hide from what? Ordered my copy of 4 days ago, impatiently waiting for it to arrive. I have IASF, don’t care about the previous two albums. Only like B’s songs, don’t care about the person but I do have respect for her, she was able to have a career when she left DC, not many artists are able to do that once they leave their group.
    If u’re so shocked because I told u u’re not B, then u know how I feel. One simple statement and u’re labeled a hater. I didn’t come in here calling B a flop or saying her career was over, I just said this wasn’t a performance and there u go off at me for me. By the way, her voice is strained in this performance.

    “I didn’t throw shade”

    Ok Let’s see:

    “Her voice isn’t amazing here, though. It sounds strained”

    Ok fair enough, this sounds like any simple statement BUT then….

    “…guess from all that screaming”

    SHADE ALERT!

    The definition of scream is: “to emit a shrill, piercing sound” plus the synonyms are “Shriek” and “Screech” – and people usually scream in fear or PAIN!

    To say that Beyonce’s SINGING sounds like SCREAMING is throwing shade.

    THEN you continued.

    “Screaming’s ok, but u have to be a pro at it, otherwise it gets the best of you”

    You are saying that Beyonce cant even scream like a “pro” and that she has been overpowered by her inability to take ownership of her OWN voice.

    YOU WERE THROWING SHADE!
    DC3 caught you!
    Stop lying!

    How am I lying? From what? If I wanted to attack her, I would, given that y’all jumped on me for some small thing I said anyway! You guys are always saying JHud is hollering. Isn’t that what B’s doing? Smh, u say something about other artists but don’t want others to say that about B. Yet she is singing the same way JHud is, hollering her head off or screaming, whatever word u wanna use. Except JHud is pretty good at it. B’s voice is strained. Sorry Man, that just won’t change my mind.

    The issue is NOT with WHAT you said. It’s the fact that you lied and said there was no shade involved. Be real, the shade is there and it’s blatant.
    I’m all for listening to other peoples opinions but when their honesty is called into question….

    I dont know what that Jhud talk was about. I’ve heard two of her songs and have NEVER commented on her “hollering”. So if other people have, cool, but dont bring THAT to respond to me – it’s irrelevant.

    You keep trying to worm out of this though:

    “Screaming’s ok, BUT u HAVE to be a PRO at it, OTHERWISE it gets the best of you”

    Paraphrase: ” If youre going to attempt to scream like [insert name of “pro”] then youre gonna need to do it properly because if you dont then you’ll look a fool for trying to do something that youre incapable of doing; getting yourself owned in the process”

    Am i right?
    If so, then it’s SHADE!.

    ” I said that the “strained” part was acceptable, because it sounded like a shade-free opinion.
    It’s the additions that you tailed the argument with that BROUGHT the shade:

    aisha im sorry but you sound super dumb………. where exactly in the performances does her voice show signs of strain? she hit all the notes with clarity ease, had proper breath support, and great resonance. o and your lil comment about her saying herself that not all her performances are great, its because of her strong work ethic. if you took her worst performance these days, it’d still look amazing in comparison to what 99% of other artists can do.

  191. CurtwillCMD July 5, 2011

    Bey was straining? Huh? I must have some different ears because the girl was singing EFFORTLESS with both songs and sounded beautiful per usual. I am all for differing opinions, but Bey was far from screaming, straining and etc. Growling? Yeah. But that’s vocal styling and interpreting and Bey is actually great at that. But she was far from straining. But then again, some people don’t like Bey’s tone when she does them but her tone, resonance and clarity was all there. Nothing to see, except for great vocals as usual.

    No offense, but Beyonce is starting to look old. Turning 30 is not old in my book. 30 is still pretty young. But, she looks older than that to me.
