Ne-Yo Talks Beyonce Collaboration

As the music world eagerly awaits Beyonce‘s new studio album,  Ne-Yo – who has been working on the project has shed some light on the material we can expect from the superstar.

His comments after the jump…

Excerpt from the singer-songwriter’s recent interview with AJC:

So how is this new collaboration with Beyonce coming along?

Ne-Yo: (After a good chuckle) It’s  along nicely. I can’t  too much on it, but it’s another direction for her, and she’s carving out her own niche. In a minute nobody will be in Beyonce’s lane. They really can’t get in her lane now, but they really can’t get in her lane after this album. (Note: Ne-Yo collaborated with Beyonce in 2006 for her “B’day” CD. He helped pen “Irreplaceable,” which became one of Beyonce’s biggest hits).

While Beyonce stands as one of the few artists whose projects can rouse me at such an early stage, I greet Ne-Yo’s comments with caution. After all, how many times have we seen producers and writers scream to heavens about such and such’s new album being the Second Coming, only for it do be doo-doo?

Still, it’s Beyonce, meaning doo-doo or otherwise her releases command your attention. Here’s hoping she delivers a solid body of work though. For believe it or not, I see her as a singles artist who manages to sell albums. Before the stans call for my head on a platter, that takes nothing away from her undeniable talent. Rather it highlights the fact that over the last few years, much of her material appears to have been crafted with radio and club success on the mind (see: ‘Check On It’, ‘Diva’, ‘Ego’, ‘Get Me Bodied’) This, instead of creating material which – regardless of its sound – is so good that it demands radio plays.

In any case, it’ll be interesting to see what Ms. Knowles-Carter is cooking in the studio…

Your thoughts?

    Whatever. I just want the damn album.

  2. Blasian September 3, 2010

    How is Beyonce a single Artist to where she has 3#1 albums and her albums sales, also she has won a GRAMMY for EACH album.

    I just don’t get it with this site Lady Gaga can release all the Dance singles in the WORLD and you guys a say it’s Talent but she isn’t a single artist??? . But Beyonce should release ballads to show off her Talent? That is ASS BACKWARDS

  3. thekiddz September 3, 2010

    And B’day was not an album of “singles”, it was a body of work with a cohesiveness that you don’t normally find in a mainstream album.

  4. SEAN2010 September 3, 2010

    YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  5. Delroy September 3, 2010

    It is intresting news, i would love to know what the sound is cos i have a feeling that she might be jumping on the bandwagon that is messing up the state of R&B at the moment. So if she comes back with a different sound to all the garbage that is being forced on us then i will say that she deserves to be called one of the best in the music biz.

  6. Blasian September 3, 2010

    Who in the Hell wanna be singing BALLADS ALL THE DAMN TIME ??

    EVEN Mariah Carey gave that sh*t up

    We all Know Beyonce is Talented she doesn’t need to proof herself

  7. BK September 3, 2010

    Beyonce is not a singles artist… I think we all know who that is but Im not mentioning her name bc her stans will attack. I cannot wait for her new album especially with all this s***** music on the radio.

  8. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 3, 2010

  9. jayLOVESbEY September 3, 2010

    Ok First of ALL SAMUEL THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE HOW CAN SOMEONE BE A SINGLES ARTIST AND SELL ALBUMS I MEAN MILLIONS OF ALBUMS ACROSS THE WORLD, OVER 25 MILLION TO BE EXACT, THATS NO ONE’S SINGLE ARTIST n IT NEVER WILL BE!!! n FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT TRENT WROTE THIS ARTICLE… AND WHEN OTHER PRODUCERS HAVE SAID THAT THEY WERE SPEAKING IN BEHALF OF OTHER ARTIST… THE WORD IS “OTHER” NOT AND I MEAN NOTTTTTT BEY!!! ThatisAll THIS ALBUM WILL ONLY MAKE HER BIGGER IF THAT’S EVEN POSSIBLE!!

  10. LOL September 3, 2010

    @SEAN Rihanna won’t be packing anytime soon considering her “Good Girl Gone Bad” album out-sold “I Am… Sasha Fierce”, garnered more #1 hits, sold more singles, and had a record-breaking smashes like “Umbrella” and “Disturbia” with little to no effort. Sit, matterafact, take several seats.

    In a minute nobody will be in Beyonce’s lane. They really can’t get in her lane now, but they really can’t get in her lane after this album. THAT’S RIGHT NEYO! SPEAK THE TRUTH

    THE QUEEN BISHES

  21. FlyyIAM September 3, 2010

    LMAO GGGB outsold I Am Sasha Fierce? where?
    saddown epic fail

    with that said. Beyonce has already put out solid pieces of work do not hate Beyonce because she knows how to sell albums… whats really funny is that millions of people including The Grammy committee will all agree that Beyonce delivers a solid piece of work… she wouldnt have broke her own record if her work wasnt solid.

    All this shade being thrown Beyonce’s way… do u not know Beyonce turns shade into millions of dollars??

  22. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    Unoriginal, basic, song stealing heifer.
    Ne-yo’s homophobic basic ass would say some s*** like this. Didn’t mind putting her ass on blast back in 2007 lol.

  23. royalkev September 3, 2010

    Singles artist? …are you kidding me? This woman is thoroughly doing more to prove herself and outdo herself in every era. Sam have you listened to an album titled “I am… Sasha Fierce”. How could you listen to songs like Halo, Disappear , If I were a boy and Smash into you and say she’s only making radio hits. Have you listened to “B’day” songs like Resentment and Flaws and all or listen? Have you listened to an album titled “Dangerously In love” and listen to tracks such as: Me, myself and I, Speechless, Daddy or the album title track? If you have maybe you would find the depth your craving for. As far as I’m concerned I think songs like Crazy In love, Naughty Girl, Ring the alarm, Green light, Get me bodied, Upgrade U, Sweet dreams and Single ladies are just as entertaining and it’s creates the perfect balance on Beyonce albums. What’s wrong with having radio friendly hits anyway? Isn’t every artist looking to have one? Kelly Rowland is changing her dance style back to urban pop in the U.S. in search of one. Gaga is doing the same(when she’s not single Elton John classics) and Ciara(who I personally like) is trying to win with a hit single before her album releases. Why is it such a bad thing when Beyonce does it. All her songs that have meaning you obviously over look and flock to those songs you speak of with disdain. That’s so wack! Rihanna whole career is built on that , so is the Black eye peas. Why does everybody and their grandmother get away with murder and Beyonce can”t make a commercial in peace? This is really the most bs I ever seen an artist put up with other than Janet’s superbowl nonsense! Such a double standard!

  24. NICKY September 3, 2010

    @ Blasian

    Boo!!!! Your Grammar and spelling are ATROCIOUS!!!!!!! lmao

    Yes no one is in Bey’s lane just like NO ONE is in Rih’s lane!!!!!!!! 2 different artists!!!!!!!!!!

  25. LOL September 3, 2010

    @Blasian What is 5 million sold in the States supposed to do? P*** me off?

    B’Day: 3X plat.
    Sasha Fierce: 2X plat

    In 4 years Beyonce sold around 5 million albums in the US, and in 5 years Rihanna has sold about the same amount, yet her albums were released closer together and she started off SOLO, not off the back off Destiny’s Child. Your turn…..

  26. BLASIAN September 3, 2010

    IM SO EXCITED FOR RIHANNA’S NEW ALBUM

    THE OTHER QUEEN B******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  27. FlyyIAM September 3, 2010

    Her next album will FLOP TOO!

    this album barely matched the sales of GGGB and just remember she will continue to cancel shows due to lack of tickets sells = “schedule conflicts”

  28. BLASIAN September 3, 2010

    @ LOL

    YOU ARE RIGHT!!!! RIHANNA IS THE BUSINESS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    RIHANNA DESERVES HER SUCCESS JUST LIKE BEYONCE. BUT I GIVE RIHANNA MORE PROPS BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T HAVE 5 OTHER CHICKS TO BUILD OFF OF!

    Can’t wait for my faves (Rihanna and Beyonce) to knock these haters down

  31. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    It should be noted that Beyonce is big in US alone.
    She obv has international success but compared to her peers she is far behind.
    She’s a glorified singles act really.
    I say this as someone who used to love her but saw through the facade the media/her team created around her.

  32. FlyyIAM September 3, 2010

    Beyonce actually sold 11 million in the U.S. not 5 mill and Rihanna selling 5 Million in the U.S. in 5 yrs with 4 albums is garbage

  33. Blasian September 3, 2010

    DEAD AT NE-YO SAYING THIS AFTER HE JUST DID SOME WORK ON RIHANN’S NEW ALBUM LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  35. BLASIAN September 3, 2010

    @ LOL

    OOopps my ass counted incorrectly

    4x platinum means 4million

    rihanna sold close to 6 million in the states! oooooops , sorry. so dil didnt sell more than all her albums

  36. FlyyIAM September 3, 2010

    Beyonce far behind as a International act?? LMAO lies
    Beyonce can go to any continent and sell out a stadium or arena

    Beyonce is the 1st female artist to win The American Music International Artist Award. She is reaching countries that some of her peers have yet to reach

    Who mad?

    Britney Spears , P!nk , Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney, Christina Aguilera [back when she was relevant] have surpassed Beyonce in terms of National & International success.

  41. thekiddz September 3, 2010

    @LOL

    Beyonce has sold over 25 million worldwide with 3 albums.
    Rihanna has sold 15 million worlwide with 4 albums. You do the math. Rihanna is simply a singles artist. You will get over it with time.

  50. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    Let me just put it in perspective.

    P!nk is the only female artist currently selling out Stadiums.

    Britney Spears’ first album has sold nearly 30million copies. [This is the total of ALL of Beyonce’s albums right ?]

    Back in 2007 Christina’s Back2Basics tour wiped the floor with Bey’s B-Day tour.

    @THEKIDDZ

    My “God” has surpassed Beyonce with #1s.

  51. OKAY September 3, 2010

    @LOL
    Good Girl Gone Bad Sold 168,000 Copies In Its First Week AND Beyonce I Am… Sasha Fierce Sold 482,000 Copies In Its First Week (ViaBillboard.com)

    #FACT RIHANNA HAVE NEVER HAD A #1 ALBUM.

  52. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    LOL @ Beyonce “outsells” those women.

    When ?
    Madonna has the 2 of the highest grossing tours in History and sold over 300million.
    Mariah has sold over 200million.
    Britney has sold over 100million in half the time it took those aforementioned ladies.
    P!nk is selling out Stadiums.

  55. thekiddz September 3, 2010

    @Rated X

    What does her completing the album in a couple of weeks have to do with quality? She’s not making wine. I picked Suga Mama, because that funk sound is her bread and butter. Her vocals were insane on that song as well as Listen and Green Light and the others I named. I wasn’t trying to f up your good mood 😀

  56. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    GGGB has sold 10million++ WW.
    Umbrella is undoubtedly one of the biggest pop songs of the decade & surpasses all of Beyonce’s material by a mile.

  57. FlyyIAM September 3, 2010

    Rihsus u are living in the past its obvious in this day and age it is rare to see a African American have mainstream success like Beyonce…

    Pink? Xtina? all that is irrelevant because as of now Beyonce is doing stadium tours.. I have box office attendance records to prove it

    with that being said can Rihanna do what Pink Britney, and Xtina has done? clearly NOT

  58. Blasian September 3, 2010

  67. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 3, 2010

    @Rihsus

    How does ONE album and ONE single surpass all of Beyonce’s material? Beyonce has outsold Rihanna in album sales and tour sales, so how in God’s name is Rihanna surpassed Beyonce in anything besides #1’s?

  68. royalkev September 3, 2010

    @ Rihsus, Irreplaceable spent 10weeks at #1. Umbrella spent 7.

  69. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    A #1 album is not necessary as long as said album sells.
    Larry Gaga’s album hasn’t been #1 yet 2 years later it’s still in the Top 20 of the charts and it’s sold nearly 10million or something.

  75. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    Umbrella was a better song than most of Bey’s material , half of which is sampled off older songs.

    And Rihanna’s sales are fine. Beyonce was long established before she went solo. She was basically a soloist since DC3.

    And why is Rihanna being brought up anyway ? Pressed much ? lol

    Okay. Albums + Singles

    Based on DC3’s albums + Singles it still doesn’t come close.
    And you really can’t treat DC3 like some golden ticket.

    THANK U.
    Blasian is just your typical spastic stan who thinks Beyonce shits gold.
    It’s best to watch them scamper for the scalp glue.

    And yes.
    Beyonce’s appeal is half hype half talent. Even so she’s continuously touted as an R&B act despite the fact she hasn’t been R&B in ages & actual R&B acts get the cold shoulder. Awards are constantly flung to her for absolutely no reason. The headlines read better if it says “Beyonce & Taylor Swift clean up at the Grammy’s” rather than “Jazmine Sullivan & Janelle Monae clean up”. Why ? Because only few people know/care about the latter 2.

    Well Rihanna hasn’t been around for a Decade yet still racked up more #1s than Bey in half the time. I would respect RS’s article if it weren’t for the fact:
    In this decade
    Britney has out-sold Beyonce.
    Mariah’s Emancipation has sold 10million WW and produced the pop classic We belong together.
    Xtina’s 2007 tour smashed Bey’s B-Day.
    P!nk is the only currnet female artist selling out Stadiums…
    so I honestly don’t know how Beyonce could be called artist of the decade…from a logical point of view.
    The only reason that seems plausible would be hype which we know Papa Knowles has no problem buying..

    Billboard Female Artist of the Decade

    Billboard’s Top Female Artist of the 2000s has cultivated a catalog of hits that transcend chart achievements. “Crazy in Love,” “Irreplaceable,” and “Single Ladies” all topped the Hot 100, but they also helped Beyonce become the queen of this decade’s pop-culture pantheon. “I’ve always tried to pick songs and singles that were … a part of things that people are passionate about and want to talk about and debate,” Beyonce said in October. “‘Single Ladies’ is an uptempo song that’s fun. But it’s also something women go through every day.”

    YEAH NOT SHADY ALL
    Even tho he managed DC3 and could’ve joined the board since then buit choose to when his Daughter was blowing up ?
    YEAH NOT SHADY ALL
    LOL
    Yeah there are obv other members on the board but like I said already, Beyonce winning a a Grammy is worth more than a newb winning cuz it adds more hype to Beyonce.
    It’s so painfully obvious it’s actually sad that y’all are so blinded.

    Rihanna Is A No Talent W****…Beyonce Is A God….How Is That Possible? Even Alicia Keys Couldn’t Surpass Bey In Any Of Those Areas, And She Has More Albums Out As Well.

  206. S*** September 3, 2010

    WRONG SAM.

    Beyonce is a singles, Albums, & Tour artist!! & Unlike most acts her music has much VARIETY & she has RAW TALENT, acts like Gaga & Rihanna on the other hand Dont which is why they woundnt dare step alone on stage with just a Mic & no Gimmicks.

    & what Neyosha basically says in his infamous quote was that “if nobody wasnt on her LVL B4 then they’re defiantly not gonna be near her LVL now”. Loves it. 🙂

  207. S*** September 3, 2010

    Oh & How could I forget shes a GRAMMYS artist too. 😆

  208. Sherry September 3, 2010

    Sam…what’s with all the hate being thrown at Beyonce lately?? I know your a Kelly Rowland stan (i love her too), but Beyonce has proven herself to be more than a singles artist! Sure, she grabs you with a catchy single, but her entire album is what keeps people interested. She tries to switch it up with each album, but she makes sure that she has the hit singles to keep selling albums. At the end of the day, isn’t that the same thing everyone is trying to do? Stop hating, its really starting to be quite obnoxious

  209. ~TeAM WeeZY~ September 3, 2010

    And here comes the little immature fools bringing up CB in this post! Always claiming it would be a Rihanna ‘hater’ to bring up CB but the proof is @Jimmy_Choo’s comment. Always claiming Rihanna to be on someone’s mind yet it seems as CB is on yours. Contradictory much?

    Actually she sold over 65 Million Records as a soloist alone but altogether over her entire career shes at over 130 Million Records worldwide, 9 #1s, 16 Grammys, Female artist of the decade. Do i lie.

    LMAO DELUSIONAL. Good H** gone Bad barely sold 8 Million & it was Re-Released so we can only give her credit for about 4-5 Million Max. & LMAO @ Umbrella trumping anything Bey, Umbrella isnt even one of Rihanna’s best songs!! The hook was cool but its never been RihGoata’s best. Fire Bomb & Disturbia are infact way better & even those cant touch Beyonce’s Material, close though, i like a lot of Rih’s music its better than that Caca trash.

    Im going to make somebody mad when i say this, YO if gaga killed beyonce career, why is beyonce name stay going up on the forbes list, why she keep ranking in as the highest paid celeb, why is she keep being on top of the most powerful celebs list. i dont get it, if gaga slayed her career then why is bey becoming more famous as we speak.

    I see the XTINA fan trying to put their lil 2 cent hate on here as well. GAGA drained her career last year.

    This one lil rihanna fan just needs to stop, we all know beyonce is soo much better than rihanna, Britney stans stay mad because since 03 bey took over britney shine…so in the words of LADY gaga,”beyonce is legendary in this generation”..she made her mark and she is def not going anywhere, face it; i know it hurts but its truth.<

  218. S*** September 3, 2010

    ^^^ @ BLACk

    & also where is Gaga, Britney, Christina, or Rihanna’s Name anywhere on VH1’s new GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME List?? LMAO Bey came in the TOP 50 & tops many cretaceous lists as well but NONE of the other b****** mentioned in this post even made the list why because Beyonce is on a whole nother LVL, These other B****** might be in the same Ocean but Beyonce is in a entirely different galaxy. Shes far above them so bringing them up is PointLess.

  219. iLoveXtina September 3, 2010

    @S*** Where did you get “65 Million Records” from?

  220. iLoveXtina September 3, 2010

  222. Anne September 3, 2010

    I’m assuming that SAM is just trying to rouse Beyonce fans into making several comments. Although he only named FOUR songs by an artist who has recorded more than FORTY songs I would still assume that as a supposed music connoisseur/journalist he has taken the time to listen to a WHOLE Beyonce album and not just the few songs from each album designed for radio and/or club spins. If I am assuming correctly then SAM knows that Beyonce is more than a singles artists and that her albums have a lot more to offer than what you may hear in a club or on the radio. For example, the “I Am” portion of her last release includes vulnerable and emotional ballads with some sounding contemporary while others were traditional and all with strong vocal and lyrical content. The “Sasha Fierce” portion mainly includes the strong, confident, and sassy themed, ready for radio and clubs songs. The combination clearly worked. B’day is filled with female empowerment type themed songs like “Irreplaceable,” “Upgrade You,” “Green Light,” “Kitty Kat,” and “Beautiful Liar” (the ladies conclude that the two-timer is not worth fighting over), etc.. She also has strong soundtrack songs like her Dreamgirls duet with Jamie Foxx-“When I First Saw You” & the Grammy nomiated “Once In A Lifetime” from Cadillac Records. And what about songs like “Daddy,” her Grammy award winning cover with Luther Vandross of “The Closer I Get To You,” “Me, Myself & I,” “Be With You, and the album title track “Dangerously In Love”; all of these songs made DIL a STRONG first solo ALBUM. Like I said, SAM is trying to garner comments OR he is much more of an AMATEUR than I thought.

  223. Robier September 3, 2010

    Well this def got ’em talking lol

  224. Gilberto September 3, 2010

    US numbers
    Beyoncé:
    DIL – Almost 5 million (4.8 million)
    B’Day – 3.2 million
    IASF – 2.8 million

    Rihanna:
    MOTS – 500 thousands
    GLM – 1 million
    GGGB – around 2.5 million
    Rated R – less than 1 million

    GGGB didn’t sell over 8 million. It has sold around 6.5 million with re-releaseS, huge world wide promo and smash singles. Its shipment is over 7 million.
    IASF sold more than 6.3 million without a proper re-release. If she had a re-release with new singles and promo, like Gaga and Taylor did, IASF could have sold more than 8 million.

    Jimmy_Choo Chris Brown stays on your mind don’t he

    But deuces is #1 on the Hip Hop and R&B Charts and #24 on the hot 100 where is flopstar 101. Let me know when Rihanna can write herself a hit song without the help of many producers. I bet Rihanna is mad that she can’t be with Chris or Drake anymore since they both wrote songs for her. Stop worrying about what Chris is doing and worry about your so called queen Rihflop.

  228. CIARADABESS September 3, 2010

    SHE IS THAT BISH!

    “ONLY GIR;” WILL BECOME ATLEAST HER 16TH TOP TEN ON HOT 100, IF NOT HER 8TH # 1

  230. S*** September 3, 2010

    @ JIMMY_CHOO

    http://i53.tinypic.com/2dt16jr.jpg

    You forget that rihanna released more singles than Bey did with B’day she only did four official singles. Rih’s album was also more commercial while b’day was Trendy & more Genre-Bending. Thats how she managed to sell 1mill more than B’day did, Rih had like 7 singles but without a Re-Release rihs not touching Bey’s latest album which sold 6.8 maybe 7 million WITHOUT one & with only 4 singles Worldwide(IIWAB, SL, Halo, & Sweet dreams).

    B’day was better than GGGB anyway which had some fillers & some lesser Bublegum Tracks on it. both albums were good though. Rihanna can have all the #1s she wants, It will never put her on Bey’s LVL anyway Bey has 9 so far & is musically superior.

  231. Chris September 3, 2010

    I do would have to agree that Bey is not a singles artist. That’s more like Rihanna. How ever she defiantly has to come strong and something way differ like what Janet did in her Velvet Rope era after coming from the hardcore/sexual “Janet” era. Ne-Yo better not disappoint.

  232. rated x September 3, 2010

    @thekiddz
    trust me, theres a big difference between taking two weeks to do an album, then taking several months..
    bday felt like it was rushed out…hell it was rushed out,
    yes a couple of songs was epic….but i still stand by my first opinion..
    b-day was not beyonces best album

  233. dboy September 3, 2010

    funny enough three of those singles you mentioned didn’t even do that well on the charts. the only hit there was check on it and yeah that wasn’t on any of her 3 albums per say, it was released garner momentum for the movie (pink panther and DC #1s) so yeah justifiably that was a single with intent of radio success, i think bee deserves props for releasing if i were a boy as a lead single and remember her label didn’t even believe crazy in love would do so well, they wanted her to release naughty girl as first single. CIL has funky sound of 70s to it so it ws not a guaranteed hit but i agree that beyonce is one of the few who cann demand radio play just cus it s her esp if she makes it her first single(in UK all her 1st singles reach no 1 lol)

  234. dboy September 3, 2010

    but damn bee is still the ish, 250 comments and its not even noon yet.

  235. rated x September 3, 2010

    I hate to agree with the rihanna stans..
    but so far gggb sold between 8-10 million..with all the re released and all the damn remix albums.

    umm didnt beyonce released more than four singles off bday?
    because i would think making a music video of a song, implies that its a single..
    she realeased them near every song on bday..
    damn near every song had a music video..

    and iam sacha fierce was re released in sept 2009, as a remix album

  236. dboy September 3, 2010

    iIT’S AN INSULT TO COMPARE RIHANNA TO BEYONCE, (BEE HAS MADE HER MARK AND EARNED RES[ECT INT HE INDUSTRY WHILE RIHANNA IS STILL RISING, RIH LISTED BOTH dc AND BEYONCE AS INFLUENCES ), just as it is to compare beyonce to whitney/madonna or mariah, madonna has been out for 4 decades, whitney 3, mariah 2 and ur comparing their sales to bee’s? brit had a meteoric rise with her first 2 albums while DC rose steadily, if u wanna compare, start from 2003 cus britney has double the amount of albums beyonce has and if u hate bee so musch why bother come down here, wait for rih’s post, am sure there’s one coming up

  237. Yellow Gorilah September 3, 2010

    I don’t know why people always compare beyonce and rihanna

    Beyonce aint even in the same generation as rihanna beyonce is in that
    Britney+ Christina+ pink generation
    Rihanna is in the Gaga+ Ciara + Keri generation

    Beyonce has been here for a decade god dame it she has had her name out there for like 11-12 years since Dc began so she has a bigger fan base she has been growing her fan base since the 90s so duuuh she is going to have more pulling power, But at the end of the day
    she is not all that in number sells when you have britney and christina outselling her. yall say she shits on britney “Im not a britney fan but if britney and beyonce dropped an album on the same day who do you really think is going to get the number one spot! britney SLAYYYS her fans are great.

    Britney is LEGEND! you cant come for her, Britney done it on her own no group no dad to buy her grammy’s so sip on that.

    Beyonce is an amazing performer, nobody can deny that but her music is sooo BLAHHH she always be coming out with these booty shaking music but she will always sale big numbers because she is “Beyonce” she will steal songs it wont matter because she is “Beyonce” SHE GETS AWAY WITH ALOT OF THINGS but oh well I think she is on her own lane and so is rihanna.. Rihanna be pushing out them albums like WATER but I think she is trying to catch up with everyone =P I think in 2 years she will catch up with most dont forget GAGA is also in the scene so she will snatch wigs tooo but rihanna rules the charts so she will block all these BASIC B******!

  238. Chulo September 3, 2010

    I am super excited, I ready for a break to be over, yes I am a stan and the Queen can really do no wrong, The Virgo is rising again and I cant wait. I’m ready, you ready?

  239. Bluekid September 3, 2010

    You can’t even compare Rihanna to Lady GaGa! Any Whooo, they are releasing Rihanna single earlier September 7, 2010, why?

    To make way for Beyonce who is coming after that ass, they are getting Rihanna out of the way for a much bigger brighter star Beyonce. 2011 is going to be interesting a Diva “Beyonce” and a so call Diva “Rihanna” fighting for the title.

    Actually there want be a fight, because Rihanna hasn’t a chance she is out gunned, but real talent. Beyonce is the queen! Beyonce run that bish over!

  240. Insatiable September 3, 2010

    I don’t see where Sam “Specifically” called her a “singles artist”. He just listed a few singles to make a point. I think his point was there is a difference between making songs to purposely target the clubs/radio vs putting out music that the radio/clubs would demand to have/play.

    Anyone can put out a radio/club banger, look at Soulja Boi! But to put out something where the crowd and fans and people are demanding radio play it cause its new/diff/whatever – thats different.

    Not knocking Beyonce. Every star has their stans. You can’t deny the girl and her talent nor her album sales, awards, and tours. But you can’t force people to like her either. If they don’t- no matter how much you quote her sales and accomplishments – they just don’t. I for one, think she’s a lil overrated. Usually I like her music 2yrs after it comes out. cause I get so sick of hearing it over and over and over again on the radio.

    In this age of R&B where its lacking true soul, lyrics and melodies – I hope she does bring something new and fresh….

    “But at the end of the day
    she is not all that in number sells when you have britney and christina outselling her. yall say she shits on britney “Im not a britney fan but if britney and beyonce dropped an album on the same day who do you really think is going to get the number one spot! britney SLAYYYS her fans are great.”

    Well if that’s the case, why hasn’t Britney’s album Circus outsold I Am…Sasha Fierce yet Britney sold more her first week? Britney may get the #1 spot and the numbers the first week, but I guarantee Beyonce would outsell her in the long run just like she did this time. Fact: Beyonce has outsold Britney since her debut in 2003. You can’t really compare the two before then because Britney came out at a time when albums were still massively selling.

  243. Tha Phoenix September 3, 2010

    I can’t wait for the Queen’s return. This has me really excited, because usually Ne-yo isn’t one of those writers who boasts about his work.

    I’m hoping for an album that will top B’Day because that was her best work to date.

    And, in the meantime, I have the return of one of the other Trinity members – Princess Brit – to be happy about.

    I agree with Rihsus, Beyonce is just another glorified singles artist. I honestly don’t get all the hype around her. It isn’t like she is saving the world with her music or singing about something that is relateable today.

  246. PLAIN AND SIMPLE September 3, 2010

    I see Beyonce is coming out at the right time. I could just see it now #1’s her sold out concerts, award shows performances. Glad she is back

  248. ~Team Weezy~ September 3, 2010

    @Jimmy_Choo

    Yes, I call you those names, because it’s very evident in what you post sometimes! What’s the purpose of mentioning CB? I don’t get it. The only thing these two people have in common is their DV relationship that has been over for well over a year now. He’s not the only artist that is not doing well currently. And you say CB fans can’t talk about anybody? Well, I’m a Janelle Monae fan and she’s not doing ‘commercially well’ or better than Rihanna so does that mean her fans can’t talk about anybody either?

    It is very fitting to compare Rihanna to her OWN contemporaries like Beyonce, Gaga, Ciara, etc. But to compare her to a MALE artist who’s somewhat in a different genre currently is just stupid!

    Like I’ve said before, I NEVER see people comparing Beyonce to CB or Gaga to CB and vice versa yet because Rihanna stans obviously lack maturity, they consistently put Rih against CB. It makes NO sense. It seems like you would rather see CB fail than to see Rihanna succeed.

    And if, in fact, Rihanna was doing so well and CB was ‘flopping’ so hard then, why mention him? He’s not any competition for Rih’s ‘immense success’ right? So there’s no need to mention his ‘flop’ or ‘lack of hit’ if he’s doing so terrible. If you think he’s already ‘faded’ then there’ s no need to reiterate that, right? What point are trying to make in saying it if it is true?

    In addition, you are also being hypocritical in that you asked others this: “Why Is Rihanna Name Brought Up With Bey So Much?” The same question can be asked about CB being brought up with Rih, no? You brought him up because ‘it’s your business’ but why isn’t it other people’s business if they bring up Rihanna/Bey? Sooo, um, yeah, try again.

    Shipment is different from real sales. That “8 million” is completly inflated. GGGB sold 6.5 to 7 million WW and its shipment is over 8 million.
    GGGB only shows she’s a single artist. If you count her others three albums, their numbers wouldn’t be so good as GGGB.
    I remember very well that before the re-release, GGGB’s numbers were around 4.5 million.

    Yes, it sold more than B’Day, it sold around 5 million WW. B’Day only had 2 hit singles and GGGB had 7! Rihanna needs hits after hits to sell her albums, Beyoncé only needs her name.

  250. D-MONEY September 3, 2010

    SO KELLY ROWLAND ALBUM IS GONNA DROP THIS YEAR……AND MOST LIKELY IT WILL STRETCH THRU 2011 AND BEYONCE AND MICHELLE STATED THAT THEY ARE DROPPING ALBUMS IN 2011…..AND LETOYA IS WORKING ON HER 3RD ALBUM…….I LOVE THEM ALL….AND I SUPPORT THEM ALL INDIVIDUALLY AND TOGETHER….BUT MY POINT IS,,,,THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A BIG DESTINY’S CHILD SOLO BATTLE (IF THE MEDIS TAKES IT THERE)……AND WHO KNOWS MAYBE THEY CAN PERFORM TOGETHER AT THE 2011 BET AWARDS….LIKE THEY DID IN 2007

    I’M SURPRISED YOU MADE A POINT WITHOUT INSULTING ME….

    THATS WHY I USUALLY DON’T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

    YOUR PROSE IS CONTRIVED, IMO

    IF CHRIS BROWN FANS/STANS WERE COMING FROM A TALENT ANGLE, I COULD

    EMPATHIZE, BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO TRY, AND COMPARE HIS

    SUCCESS, OR LACK THERE OF, TO RIHANNA…WHICH IS A LOSING BATTLE THEY

    COULD NEVER WIN. THEY HAVE NO AMMO. THEY KNOW THIS, AND THEY KNOW WE

    KNOW THIS AS WELL. THEY ONLY HAVE URBAN BLOGS, BET, AND TWITTER NOW.

    I ASKED WHY RIHANNA NAME BROUGHT UP SO MANY TIMES WITH BEYONCE

    BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW A “GOD” COULD BE COMPARED TO

    A NO TALENT W****, WHO SUCKS D*** FOR TRACKS….ALL THE TIME….BASICALLY I

    WAS TRYING TO BE FUNNY. PLEASE STOP DISSECTING EVERYTHING I WRITE, AND

    REPLYING WITH CONTEMPTUOUS LANGUAGE. YOU ARE VERY RUDE, AND ABRASIVE

  254. keepinitreal September 3, 2010

    Rihanna can’t even be compared 2 Beyonce… im not even a Beyonce fan but lets be real… Rihanna gets a little success and her fans/stans suddenly thinks shes the queen of music… yeah shes successful but damn she isnt that legendary… Beyonce can sing/dance has stage presence and shes an all round performer and entertainer… no hate on Rihanna but just keepin it real

  255. SASHA September 3, 2010

    let me know when you Rihanna fans are ready to stop licking her ASS lol cuz thats all yall seem 2 do when Rihanna cud careles about her fan/stans all she cares about is No.1s and this whole Rihanna vs Beyonce thing needs 2 STOP right now!!! THEY CAN NOT BE COMPARED Beyonce has been in the game 2 long being solo and with Destinys Child so yall Rihanna fans need 2 calm the hell down and stop being so damn hungry stop adding numbers onto her success when we all know Rihanna ain;t all of that shes just a pretty face with ok songs and ok vocals hardly any stage presence at the end of the day we ALL know whos better and thats Beyonce YOU RIHANNA FANS ARE JUST IN DENIAL

  256. JIMMY_CHOO September 3, 2010

    THEY WILL ALWAYS BE COMPARED….BEY FAN/STANS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.

  257. G4L September 3, 2010

    BEST WISHES AND LUCK TO BEYONCE. I MYSELF CAN’T WAIT FOR PRINCESS RIHANNA’S NEW ALBUM! SHE’S SO EDGY AND CREATIVE-AND THAT’S NATURAL FOR HER. SHE’S YOUNG AND STILL GROWING AS AN ARTIST AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HER. BEYONCE’S BEEN OUT FOR A LONG TIME AND SOMETIMES THAT BECOMES BORING. HOPEFULLY SHE DOESN’T MAKE PEOPLE TIRE OF HER AND HOPE SHE STAYS TRUE TO HERSELF AND NOT TRY AND IMITATE SOMETHING THAT SHE’S NOT OR THAT DOESN’T FIT HER. BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH LADIES!

  261. Chick Boom September 3, 2010

    In 20 years, when Rihanna is playing bingo casinos and judging American Idol, her big selling point will be “She was one of the biggest stars of the 2000’s and had 7 #1 singles. If there were a relevant Rihanna fansite the motto would be “7 #1 Singles. You mad?”

    So for an artist whose reputation has been derived from numbers and chart positioning “Rated R” could be seen as a big misstep, mainly because I was hard pressed to find 2 #1 singles off of the album, let alone 5. Def Jam played most of the album’s strongest cards and it stilled flopped.

    And I bet Rihanna’s 5th album doesn’t even do 100k in the first week. MARK MY WORDS.

  262. boo hoo hoo September 3, 2010

    That’s not true def jam did not play the albums strongest cards, because the strongest cards on that album was not released. Their mistake to me was trying to cater to the urban crowd, when they should have sticked to servicing the same demographic that was responsible for GGGB being a hit. songs like firebomb, coldcase love, and photographs would have been surfire hits.

  263. Chick Boom September 3, 2010

    RIHANNA GOT 7 #1 SINGLES YOU B****** MAD!!

  264. Chick Boom September 3, 2010

    7#1 SINGLES YOU MAD…

    SHE AIN’T SOLD THAT MANY ALBUMS BUT SHE GOT 7#1 SINGLES U MAD

  265. boo hoo hoo September 3, 2010

    Yes, it sold more than B’Day, it sold around 5 million WW. B’Day only had 2 hit singles and GGGB had 7! Rihanna needs hits after hits to sell her albums, Beyoncé only needs her name.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Of course beyonce’s name will benefit her, because we was hearing that name since 96. It was natural that her fans from destiny’s child would follow her solo career. Rihanna had to build her name and fan base from scratch, while beyonce had the benefit of being the headliner of that group so she was well known by the time her solo career kicked off. Rihanna on the other hand had to build her name and fanbase from scratch and for her to be even mentioned in the same sentence as bey a 12 year veteran, and even receiving some of the same accolades is testament to how far she’s come in her 5 short years in the biz. Go ri ri.

  266. JIMMY_CHOO September 3, 2010

    @BOO HOO HOO….

    Exactly!

    Rih Rih Name Is Mentioned Next Beyonce More Than Any Other Female Artist….Go On Youtube, Google, Etc, Etc, And Compare. It Always Pulls In The Most Hits.

    You Would Think It Would Be Alicia Keys…

  267. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    @S***

    Yeah because Beyonce didn’t re-release about 4 versions of Sasha Fierce ? LOL
    Not to mention she re-released about 2 versions of B-Day.
    You can go back to your seat on the left now.
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    And LOL @ Dane talking about Grammys that her Father/Label bought & using DC3's sales to boost Beywance's numbers.
    Britney's First album has outsold Beyonce's career & her last Tour [The Circus Tour] out grossed the Sasha Tour.
    Back when Xtina was relevant her Back2Basics tour also destroyed Bey’s B-Day tour.
    Your seat awaits.

    Thank U @Rebbeca and all the other’s that aren’t blind sheep and see through that Facade the media has created around Beyonce to mask the fact that she’s a basic boring unoriginal -albeit talented, yet ovrrated- twat.

    @Blasian
    @royalkev

    are u sure both of yall are stans?
    single ladies won for best r&b song perfomance
    I am sasha fierce for best R&B album
    and single ladies won best R&B SONG
    halo was for best pop vocal perfomance..
    At last best R&B traditional performance

    like i said bey bey is still on R&B status..

  270. Rated x September 3, 2010

    the funny thing is the beyonce stans on here bashing the rihanna stans, by saying that GGGB did 8-10million because it was re released..
    umm didnt I am sasha fierce re re lease more than once?
    Iam sacha fierced made 12 million, counting the digital sales.. without the digital sales it would be 8-10 million just like GGGB..

    so counting the difference between beyonces last three albums to britneys last four albums..doesnt even makes sence..
    None of britneys last four albums got a re released..
    since most of bey bey albums got re released more than once…. so all the numbers u stans are counting also comes from the re released..

  271. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    @RATED X.

    In fairness none of those songs are R&B.
    She hasn’t been R&B since DIY / DC3 days.
    It’s just the media being their usual selves and Pigeonholing.
    I lol everytime Justin Timberlake is referred to as an R&B act just cuz he worked with Timbaland. LOL

  272. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    LMAO @ Rated x

    Preach gurl, preach!
    That h** even went an released a Latin-pop album LMFAO. I mean it flopped -at least people saw through that gimmick- but still hi-lar-ious.

  273. Rated x September 3, 2010

    and i think its only fair if u guys gonna sit here and say most of rihannas big numbers comes from shipment not sales, then most of bay bays numbers comes from shipments not sales….

    again the grammys to me dont mean s***, since single ladies won for best r&b song perfomance…and best r&b song
    we all know mathew knowles had something to do with bey beys 16 grammys….lets keep it real stans..

  274. Rihsus September 3, 2010

  276. ERROR ERROR C-ERROR September 3, 2010

    The year was 2005.

    Beyonce was by far the hottest in the game. She had achieved her lifelong dream of being a massive global superstar. She was snatching Grammys and hairpieces. Shutting down award stages around the world. She was having her “moment”. She had the kind of career that your favorites can only dream about and, most importantly, she was getting dicked up on a regular basis.

    Life was good.

    Meanwhile, Beyonce’s boyfriend, elderly rap legend Jay-Z, was not quite as happy. He had also achieved massive success in the music industry, but he was anxious to settle down, put a ring on it, and have about 3-4 babies with big-ass lips and oddly-shaped heads. But Beyonce was not interested. She was just starting to build an iconic career and a business empire and every time Jay would schedule a time to get Beyonce pregnant she would push it back like a Christina Milian album.

    It went something like this:

    Jay: Hey, Beyonce it’s 9PM, I thought we were going to try to have a baby tonight at 8?

    Beyonce: Well, I was on my way to your house but I decided to stop in the studio to make an album. I promise as soon as I’m done making the album, shooting 30 videos, and going on tour, you can get me pregnant.

    (5 months later.)

    Jay: Hey, Beyonce am I still getting you pregnant tonight?

    Beyonce: Well I was driving through the Checker’s Drive Thru and I saw Kelly and Michelle working the window, and we started talking and one thing lead to another, and now we’re in the studio making another Destiny’s Child album. I promise, you can get me pregnant after the album, the re-release, the greatest hits, and 12-month world tour.

    (12 months later)

    Jay: Beyonce! Where are you?

    Beyonce: Oh, I can’t get pregnant right now, I’m shooting a movie.

    Jay: How the f*** are you shooting a movie? I sent you to the store for some milk.

    Beyonce: Well, I was on my way to the store but I saw some people shooting a movie, and I said, “I wanna be in it”, so I asked them and they just wrote me into the movie in 3 minutes. I promise you can get me pregnant after the movie.

    This continued for awhile and both Jay and his s**** started to get frustrated. Jay was getting desperate, and one day, after heavy thought and consideration, he decided it was time to put his wifey out of business.

    The goal was to find some vocally challenged, rhythmless, pretty young chicken nugget , dress her up, and surround her with a lot of loud music and bright colors to distract people from her lack of talent. He knew that some people would stan for anything with catchy songs and high heels, and all he needed was a bunch of geighs to latch on to her and it would a wrap. So while his little chicken nugget was killing the game, Beyonce would be flopping, and would have no other choice but to let him inseminate her.

    He searched all throughout the United States for just the right girl for his plan, but came up short. LaFace had already snatched up Ciara and even he felt that signing one of the Destiny’s Child’s castoffs would be grimey.

    Then one day TyTy told him about a girl in Barbados who was willing to do something strange for a little piece of change. So he hopped on a flight down to the island and when he was there he saw a young girl with the face of a model and the forehead of a Tweety Bird.

    Jay-Z: Hello.

    Rihanna: Ello.

    Jay-Z: I heard you could sing. I’ve come down to hear you.

    Rihanna: Well, I’m not really a serious singer, it’s just something I do for fun. I have no formal vocal nor dance training, I’ve only sang in public once and it sucked musty balls. So I don’t know if I have what it takes to be a superstar.

    Jay-Z: Don’t worry about that, I’ll help you.

    Rihanna: I don’t know Mr. Jay-Z. I don’t feel right about signing a record contract and taking up money and resources from artists on your label with actual talent. I don’t know if I could be easy…

    with that….

    Part.

    Jay-Z: Don’t worry. You need to be more confident. I have a feeling that everything will work out.

    Rihanna: I still don’t know Mr. Jay-Z. Isn’t Beyonce your girlfriend? If I do become a superstar wouldn’t I be your girlfriend’s competition? I never saw Rene Elizando running around with Paula Abdul. And I damn sure never saw Bobby Brown running around with Anita Baker. Don’t you think people will wonder why you are putting so much support and time into your girl’s competition? Beyonce is my idol and I don’t want her to be mad at me, calling me and hanging up, and keying up my car and stuff…I just could not… be easy…with that…

    (4 hours later)

    …part.

    Jay-Z: It’s nothing like that. It’s just business. What do you say? Can I make you a superstar?

    Rihanna: I’m just not sure. I’m not really good on stage… What if I mess up? What if people laugh at me?

    Then Jay gave Rihanna a gift which eased her worries. It was the gift that inspired her to sign a recording contract. A gift that Rihanna kept near her wherever she went. The gift that made her realize that no matter how bad she sucked, somewhere in the world some group of tone-deaf tweens and queens would ALWAYS support her.

    That gift was the Britney Spears – Live from Las Vegas DVD.

    From there Rihanna was put through the Def Jam machine.They put gloss on her lips, designer dresses on her hips, swooped a bang over her Superdome, and gave her the best songs that money could buy and Beyonce didn’t want. Although Rihanna had a few hits, she was not putting Beyonce out of business in quite the way Jay-Z had planned. Beyonce was still running around the world, touring, shooting movies, recording, and not getting pregnant. Rihanna was starting to blend into the rest of the Beyonceitis victims, and if her 3rd album was not a blockbuster she was in real danger of getting dropped from Def Jam and Roll Bouncing at Sonic’s with Tierra Marie.

    But one song changed that.

    That song was “Umbrella”. The song was a catchy mid-tempo number. The message of the song was no matter how bad things get in you life, you can f*** Rihanna silly whenever you want to and things will be better.

    From that one song Rihanna became a worldwide sensation. From the strength of “Umbrella” and the accompanying video MTV proclaimed Rihanna “the new Queen of R&B.”

    People ignored the fact that Rihanna was not (nor was she trying to be) R&B. We didn’t ask a lot of questions. We were just tired of Beyonce and we needed a female artist who was:

    1. Black (or at least Black-ish)
    2. Attractive
    3. Talented,
    4. NOT Beyonce.

    Rihanna was 3 out of the 4 and that was good enough for us. Like Jiggaman we just wanted somebody to make Beyonce go away for awhile. And as a bonus, Beyonce stans hated Rihanna with a passion and for some people, getting Beyonce stans angry was reason enough to stan for Rihanna.

    From a live performance aspect her performances were always elaborately staged and choreographed, but she looked and sounded bored. As if there were about 76 other things she’d rather be doing aside from performing. She didn’t have much of a range, nor volume or pitch control. And on ballads she was determined NOT to hit any of the notes correctly.

    But it didn’t matter. Rihanna was SLAYING the game…if only theoretically. She was a global superstar and a FIERCE fashion icon. It looked like Jay’s dream was going to come true. Rihanna was dominating, and Beyonce would be put out of business long enough to hatch his offspring.

    But on February 8, 2009 (dramatic pause) things went horribly wrong.

    Exactly that’s why I said, he’d buy them 😉
    He’s been grooming Beyonce since day one the other b****** were just faces.
    And Solange was basic from the get go.
    So of course Beyonce was primed & ready to be sent into the pop world.

  283. Rihsus September 3, 2010

    @D-MONEY

    Yes Kelly & Michelle have fine voices [esp Michelle & her last album was really good imo] but Papa Knowles was only concerned with pushing Beyonce up the ladder of success.
    Mind you, I used to Love Beyonce but her Father has redefined the term “shady activity” and idk if she’s locked under his thumb [seems like it] but it’s tainted her image for me.

  284. D-MONEY September 4, 2010

    @ Rihsus

    yea i agree with you on that one….smh…..`beyonce need to go away after this 4th album cuz she doin to much……and now that kelly & michelle fired matthew knowles….if their new albums flopp i will shut up 4ever……lol…

    Unfortunately they’ll flop.
    They’ve already fallen too far off the Radar and no one is really checking for them.
    Michelle could still go back to Gospel-Pop-R&B but Kelly only has R&B as an option. Or maybe move to the UK cuz they still loving Commander over there lol.

    he three main dominating chicks in Pop right now is Beyonce, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. It will certainly be interesting to see which of them will be able to maintain their positions in the next five years…

    As of August 2010 Rihanna has sold 60 million singles and 16 million albums worldwide… Beyonce 25 million singles sold and 37 million worldwide.. …..Both are the top chicks in their lane..so end this stupid beef…..we fans arent staying that Beyonce is not number 1… we are saying give rihanna her props as the ONLY chick in the game to give Beyonce a run for her money…….you have to be one bad b**** out sell/do beyonce in anything… Rihanna has done that many of times……

    That’s what sets Beyonce stans off. NOBODY (Especially Rihanna) is giving Beyonce a run for her money. Rihanna is a SINGLES ARTIST, everybody expects her to sell singles. But when it comes to Grammy’s, selling albums, winning awards period, and overall talent, Rihanna is no where near giving Beyonce a run for her money.

    @rudeboy1022: I am not trying to slay anything, I was asking a legitimate question about her 60 million, how is that trying to slay. You people are something else.

    Today is Beyonce’s 29th birthday, happy birthday!

    But the whole fighting over Rihanna vs. Beyonce thing is silly. And someone saying Beyonce had it handed easy for her solo career cause her name was known…yeah well how the f*ck do you think she got there? Destiny’s Child had to work their butts off to get known so don’t play the card that she magically was known. Some people are really stupid. Rihanna, Gaga, Britney, etc. had to work hard to get known as a solo artist. Beyonce had to work hard to get known with Destiny’s Child AND make the transition from being known JUST from Destiny’s Child to now only Beyonce and not associated with DC. So don’t say it was “easier”, they all had different situations.

    That’s all i have to say.
