    • Ajanni August 11, 2012

      What is “BUG REPLANT?” How about picking up a book and step away from the computer, enter a classroom, and learn how to spell. The word I think you are seeking is spelled repellent (as a substance that keeps away insects).

      It’s always the uneducated, and those with no self worth that are constantly online to try to tear down others instead of trying to uplift.

      • my ways August 11, 2012

  20. Beyonce’s Weave (& Her “HIVE” of Head-Lice) August 11, 2012

    This b**** is so fake, I cannot believe she would use World Humanitarian Day to promote her song. The worst part is the whole song is talking about this conceited cow. She is fake, selfish, greedy and a THIEF. I do not understand why some people are fans of this FRAUD in spite of the well documented thefts. .

      Just like @PooP, you don’t know the difference between a single and a video!!!!!!!!

    • Bey Fan August 11, 2012

      Its not promoting the song dumb ass…. she using the song, a video, and her star power to draw attention to WHD.

      Clearly you see that the video is a live performance, for a song that hasn’t been released as a single.

  21. latextravaganza August 11, 2012

    over her i Am..go away she should

  22. my ways August 11, 2012

    Am I the only one thinking, what the phuck was her speech about in the United Nations? Did she talk about she need a soldier that carry big thangs if you know what she means or did she stress how she’s “INDEPENDENT”? You figure as a black female that represents the 1% of a nation in exile she’ll probably be speaking about something meaningful. I doubt it…….. The b**** was probably talking about Gwenyth Paltrow and how much she wants to be Latina.

    SMH

    • Lax August 11, 2012

      Beyonce can baRELY STRING TWO SENTENCES TOGETHER, SHE SOUNDS SLOW.

    As if anyone was here for this single anyway.

    she looks Good tho !

    but seriously , what have she done with this project so far ? and what her fans did beside putting twibbon of ‘ Beyonce was here” without them realizing they are Freely-promoting her without knowing !!!!! gotta love this b**** and her ways to get money !!!! her stand are so Cute and naive !! she make money from them like damn.

    and I CAN’t with her doing it while her camel paying only 6000$ to his own foundation !! TOTALLY a bad choice !!

      STOP REACHING CAUSE THE PEOPLE ASK HER

    • WATCH YO’ MOUFF August 11, 2012

      “I Was Here” is NOT gonna be a SINGLE.

      It’ll just receive the Video-only treatment, like “Dance for You” and “1+1”, and the song will not be sent to any form of radios. Not even Urban-only radios like “Love on Top” and “Party”.

      and Don’t worry about her, she’s giving all what could be given by an international artist. She’s not SUPERMAN, finally.

    1.she’s copying KIM Kardashian style-white dress from Bet awards

    2.plus beyonce add some width to her arms to make her pear shape into hourglass like kim kardashian

    3.hair-kim very often wear pony tail,and recenty had new style hair at bet awards

    • KingBey August 11, 2012

      1.Kim is the only b**** to wear a white dress?
      2.Beyonces always had a pear shaped body.
      3.Kim’s the only one to wear along tail? And that hair style she debuted at the bet awards was worn on beyonces album cover for I am.. and was worn at the tyrant show in 2008.
      you tried.

  33. Kylla August 11, 2012

    I think she coulda wrote a whole new song for this purpose. Since u guys thinks she so great, instead uses a song about herself. S/n around her hairline looks as that could indeed be a lacefront.

    • Bey Fan August 11, 2012

      She didn’t write the song, Diane Warren, one of the most noted song writers alive, wrote the song. So how is the song about her?? Have you heard the lyrics? That song could be about anyone who wants to be remember for making a difference in the world.

      You ppl pull s*** out yall asses…and think that yall are making intelligent comments

  34. mc the place to be!! August 11, 2012

    Nice dress but I always thought this song is kinda selfish and its all about Beyonce this is probably the only song she has that she can actually sing to these kind of events smh Beyonce is a good entertainer but looking at her as a ballad vocalist is weird as hell and boring!!

    • KingBey August 11, 2012

      The songs not about her in general..its about the victims of 911.and how we all can make an impact in the world.

      • MC the place to be!! August 11, 2012

        if its for the 9/11 attacks then why is she using this song as a f*****’ biography theme in her shows?? thats why i said the song is a bit selfish

      • KingBey August 11, 2012

        Like I said its about making a difference in this world.and shes done it therefore she may use it as she pleases.

  35. Kylla August 11, 2012

    I think she coulda wrote a whole new song for this purpose. Since u guys thinks she so great, instead uses a song about herself. S/n around her hairline looks as that could indeed be a lacefront. Can I see my comment this time?

  36. Slick Rick August 11, 2012

    I think its funny how every Beyonce stan is defending her for the performance but I’m sure Diane Warren pushed the song since she solely wrote the song… I wonder where Beyonce will start lying about the meaning of the song and her choice to record it … This shows the low depth Beyonce is as a artist… She could have pushed for a different edit or lyrical change but yet it some how remained the same… Mariah did 100 Percent for Precious but then a slight edit for the Winter Olympics… Beyonce is a product so its only expected that she will sell anything she has done for further endorsements… I just wonder how many Grammys she will “earn” from this involvement

    • Bey Fan August 11, 2012

      Why would the song need to be edited??? Have you even listen to the lyrics? And have you read anything that Diane has said about the song…

      The problem is yall (the Bey haters) will make it about Beyonce.

  37. B_STANNING August 11, 2012

    You haters need to realize that it isnt about Beyonce. Beyonce is the voice that they chose to use because she has that powerful affect to draw peoples attention. I see even the haters are inspired by Bey.

    Soooo, Ms. Gorgeous when are you going to stop slaying the haters?? Hopefully never. They won’t have nothing to talk about. Then again, even when u just take a picture they get mad. So, just keep slaying away. And wow, why would you wish death upon someone? That’s just sad. She must have ignored you at a concert or something and ever since then you’ve been hurt. You rihanna stans really need a life.
