    BEYONCE EXPOSED BY THE MUSIC BIBLE BILLBOARD :

    “Op-Ed: When Beyonce’s Inspiration Turns Into Imitation”

    http : // www . billboard . com /articles/columns/the-juice/1560092/op-ed-when-beyonces-inspiration-turns-into-imitation

    I LIVE THIS FRAUD IS BEING EXPOSED YASSS.

    • Dray May 2, 2013

      I don’t see Samantha headlining this story. Let this have been Rihanna and she would have purchased a flashing billboard in NY.

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 2, 2013

      And what happens after she suppostedly gets “exposed”?

      Still has a career better than your favs, making hundereds of millions, touring the world, not aware of your whole existance.

      • HOTSTUFF May 2, 2013

        haha w****, you don’t know me ! so what makes you think i’m poor or envy Beyonce’s money. My parents got lots of it 😉 …

        “And what happens after she suppostedly gets “exposed”?”

        Well she will just be known for the booty shaker that she is. She is not original nor creative, LIKE SHE CLAIMS TO BE. Shes not art but plagiarism. Shes a thief. She is a professional @ stealing writing credits, images, clothes.
        And don’t act like being a thief is something great, i sure bet your moma thought you otherwise.

        DEAL. WITH.THE.TRUTH.

        AND YOU BETTER BOW DOWN TO BILLBOARD.

      • ERIN May 2, 2013

        Oh, and Billboard – “the music bible” – count DC sales towards Beyonce’s, and got her at “30.5 million in the states”, so . . . . . . Better not take your words later.

      • HOTSTUFF May 2, 2013

        @ H2O

        LOL I’ve already made it clear that IDGAF if she steals or not @ HotNBothered.

        If you’re the baddest, most hardworking fastest money making b**** in the industry, then you’re doing your job PERFECTLY and I won’t give a f*** about how many underground lessor flop b****** from Agjheguusrhfstan will pop out every 3 seconds claiming you “stole” their s***.

        And Beyonce is JUST that, so . . .

    • MUSIC May 2, 2013

      • DIGGER BEY THE KING May 2, 2013

        My fav may be floppin right now, but she’ll bounce back, trust!

      • . : : h 2 o : : . May 2, 2013

        ^^ The only thing “flopping” is a certain world tour which has been on sale for 6 months and still got lots of un-soldout dates.

      • HOTSTUFF May 2, 2013

        that’s the reason they’ve just added a new date in DUBAI !!!!

        I LOVE BILLBOARD FOR THEIR ACCURATE AND UNBIASED INFORMATION. LMAOOOOO #DEAL

      • . : : h 2 o : : . May 2, 2013

        We can only HOPE the tickets to her Dubai concert aren’t as discounted as they were in the states.

        I mean, $4?

        Really Rihanna? 🙄

      • Just saying May 2, 2013

        Clearly it says this is an “op-ed”…which means it’s based off of the personal opinion of the person who wrote it, and not the opinion of the actual company. You all really need to go back to school because you lack comprehension skills.

    • Lydia May 2, 2013

      @HOTSTUFF Keep trying honey, this is not going to bring Beyonce down. 😀

      • HOTSTUFF May 2, 2013

        LMAOOOO ‘KEEP TRYING’ ???? B**** TELL THAT TO BILLBOARD ( THEY GET AN AVERAGE 10M VISITS PER MONTH) !!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      • Lydia May 2, 2013

        Ok honey!

    • DIGGER BEY THE KING OF THIS S*** May 2, 2013

      🙁 They didn’t have to expose my fav that way, but it’s all good.

    • Just saying May 2, 2013

      This article isn’t written by Billboard, it’s a guest piece. This same author has also chewed Rihanna out for her lack of performance skills many times before, so before you jump on her wagon, just know that she isn’t impressed with your “fave” either.

      • HOTSTUFF May 2, 2013

        okay honey, oped or not or what ever deal with the receipts that were provided for exposing BEYFRAUD LMAOOOOOOOOOO

    • SLAY_HIVE May 2, 2013

      Rihanna. Bxtch is this you?? Kiiiiiii

      Girl miss me with all of this…Name me atleast on Mega Pop Star thats 100% original these days! There has been NOTHING original about Rihject since she hit the scene…she has copied as well ( see: you do one video, S&M video, Rude Boy video, has been accused of stealing writing credits as well) Dont give the little poor bajan girl too much credit! Kiiii #Labelpuppetwhore #thatsit #goodday 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

      • SLAY_HIVE May 2, 2013

        These hating heauxz only turn it into a federal case when it’s Beyonce! Kiiiiii #MESS

        Bxtches cant shade her talent so they dig and search and have seizures trying to find anything negative on Bey to report to TRY and boost their fave ! When the bxtch they stan for is on a lower lane! Stay in it bxtches #BOWDOWN!

  2. JARED (WHITE DUDE) May 2, 2013

    Errr…

    No thanks. I already have my “Mrs. Carter Show” tickets.

    1/6/2013.

    😉

    • JARED (WHITE DUDE) May 2, 2013

      Oops. Email typo.

  3. Dray May 2, 2013

    Whether the Hive wants to admit it or not, even in this clip, they like to talk about how Rih lazy and just walks around. . . ..so what Bey did is epic dancing OR was that just walking around, as well. the thing is, she doesn’t even master that walk like Rih. Just saying. . . .Befakery has become lazy or fat. .I can’t figure out which one is contributing to the other.

    • Dray May 2, 2013

      Take away the wind machine and wants left.. kiiiiiiii

      • Dray May 2, 2013

        *what’s

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 2, 2013

      Your fav who has so far canceled almost 10 dates in the US pretending to be all kinds of “sick” and “tired” only to get caught bullying Ciara on IG / partying IS NAWT lazy . .

      But Beyonce the workaholic woman who can give 10/10 live performances DESPITE sickness and still take care of her child in the same time without canceling any dates is “lazy”?

      Ch . . . and to call Beyonce “fat” even after watching the H&M commercial . . dude you must be the biggest f***** on the planet Earth.

      SMH: Seek Mental Hospitality, care about your own life and stop hating on half billionaires H**.

      • Dray May 2, 2013

        When you look at how her thunder thighs are knocking together in that clip and the fat above her knee is almost overlapping AND act like you don’t see that–I don’t know what to say. You know you can see that she is a burger shy from obese? Don’t believe your lying eyes then.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . May 2, 2013

        No I don’t see any “thunder thighs”, she just has a strong build but nothing about her is “thunder”.

        But you’re just a Rihanna stan… you don’t understand!!!

  4. . : : h 2 o : : . May 2, 2013

    Good for them all!

  5. Lydia May 2, 2013

    I love that picture of Beyobce 😀

    • Lydia May 2, 2013

      Beyonce*

  6. DIGGER BEY THE KING May 2, 2013

    I can’t……bwahahahhahahahahahahhahahaha. These sad pathetic broke bitter c8nts like @ Dray and Hot S***….think that will hurt KING B? BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA NOT! U b****** thought her career was going down after The Inaugration. But lmao It only got stronger. That’s when she became an fixture on CNN. The same station that ran more coverage on KING B singing @ The Inaugration. Than Slutianna gettin her asssssssssssssssssssss beat and dragggggggggged bwahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahah. #YEAH I SAID AND WHAT?

  7. GOODIES May 2, 2013

    “Body Party” is #35 it’ll out-peak “Run the Flop” on Hot100

    • King B Agent May 2, 2013

      Run the world was #16

  8. Lydia May 2, 2013

    BTW I saw Beyonce on Tuesday and she was blatantly ILL. Her voice was hoarse when she spoke, she kept coughing and drinking water in between songs and as fan, I could see in her eyes she wasn’t all there. If you weren’t a stan or it was your first time you may not have noticed. But that didn’t stop her putting on an AMAZING show to ROYALTY (literally) in London. I am proud of her because you know damn well SHE is a trooper and wont cancel at every excuse and then party days later. She has something called a good work ethic and dedication.

    • Lydia May 2, 2013

      And Side note she has a baby which would give her even more of an excuse to ‘postpone’ like a certain other lazy b****. So when that slapdash b****** stans come for her its comical really because their fave is one of the most immature, undedicated, s***** performers around right now so I guess I pity them taking their frustrations out on on one of the most talented hard working performers around right now. Because lets face it, without all the #1s what would she be? They’ve got a f****** nerve.

  9. ERIN May 2, 2013

    GOOD CAUSE LOVE MY BEYONCE!

  10. ERIN May 2, 2013

    @ HOTSTUFF

    YOU AND YOUR FAVE SHOULD REALLY THANK THE HEAVENS FOR THE DIGITAL DOWNLOADING AGE WE LIVE IN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL RIHALIEN WOULD SURVIVE IN THIS INDUSTRY 12, 13 YEARS AGO WITH HER NON EXISTENT VOCALS AND NON EXISTENT PERFORMANCE SKILLS LMAO

    • Likica May 2, 2013

      You are a fortune teller and you can see the future/past? Non existent vocals? How come that her vocal range is actually better than Beyonce’s LOL?

      Vocal Range: 3 octaves 2 notes(B2- D6) – Rihanna
      Vocal Range: 3.1 octaves. B2- C6 (approx) – Beyonce

      Yes, Beyonce is a better singer but Rihanna CAN sing too, she proved it many times. You haters will deal with it 😉

      • Lydia May 2, 2013

        But Beyonce uses her vocals and has stronger vocals to Rihanna. Just because they have the same vocal ranges doesn’t mean s*** really. Rihanns couldn’t do the things Beyoncé does with her voice. And NO I am not saying shes the best singer ever but theres not really any comparison to their vocal abilities just because they have the same vocal ranges. If People like Adele have LESS range but that doesn’t make them any worse of a singer soo…

      • Likica May 2, 2013

        You are right, Beyonce uses her voice better than Rihanna. But to say that Rihanna can’t sing live at all is a big lie because she CAN. She is too lazy to work on her vocals, but she can sing.

      • Lydia May 2, 2013

        If Rihanna was going a great singer she would’ve achieved it by now. But her vocals are not strong enough. Range does not equal strength. She can sing, but vocals are not strong hence why she struggles.

      • Lydia May 2, 2013

        Its not just a matter of being lazy (which she is) because shes has plenty of vocal coaches. If you can sing well, she should be able to do it regardless of being lazy.

      • Likica May 2, 2013

        Gurl, I know that. My point was not to say that Rihanna is a better singer than Beyonce, she is not, but people need to stop with that s*** that rIHANNA CAN’T SING LIVE BECAUSE SHE CAN. 4:03 – 4:13!!!

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-kVuxegVSk

      • Lydia May 2, 2013

        Majority of the time she cant though. She struggles. I don’t know why youre fighting her battles so ruthlessly when you yourself said shes a lazy. You Rihanna fans baffle me, because Beyonce always puts so much effort into her shows everytime so when people want to defend her its understandable but your girl doesn’t even put effort in a lot of the time. Youre fighting a pointless battle, because Rihanna brings that kind of criticism on herself, Beyonce doesn’t.

  11. DIGGER BEY THE KING May 2, 2013

    R**** an good vocalist??? THE DEVIL IS AN MUTHA F*CKIN SAD LIAR Bwahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahaahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahha

  12. J.LOvebird May 2, 2013

    Wait, are you seriously saying even the Single Ladies choreography is NOT original?? really?? Lol wow Beyonce is truly shameless.

  13. Lou May 2, 2013

    Hive, why are you even bothering to argue with Rihanna fans about vocals lol. P.S Cant wait to see Bey! Everyone loves her, from royalty to politicians, Hollywood stars and opera singers have all been to the Mrs Carter Show so far!

  14. Credit May 2, 2013

    Of course none of these Neanderthals commented on the actual content of the article. It’s always good to see celebrities do something positive with their fame. I live for advocacy so much respect to all those involved.

  15. NΛVI May 2, 2013

    “pop queen” *spits tea* DEATH Samantha stay reaching.

    • Mwah May 2, 2013

      Many sources call her that. Shes been called in two recent reviews for concert in London and other countries. Its not that out of depth

      • NΛVI May 2, 2013

        lol gurl sit down, beyonce don’t even sing pop music to begin with. madonna, janet jackson, britney, rihanna, katy perry and miley cyrus are pop artist. queen of r&b is more appropriate.

      • Mwah May 2, 2013

        Beyone doesn’t sing pop? Girl please. I agree she is very RnB aswell but she sings mainstream pop music. People like Keyshia Cole and Mary J Blige are full out RnB. Beyonce would be classed as pop.

      • Mwah May 2, 2013

        But yeah she is more RnB than the likes of Rihanna.

      • NΛVI May 2, 2013

        lol stahhhhp, you’re too funny.

      • Mwah May 2, 2013

        Are you really saying Beyonce isn’t pop? LOLOLOL! YOU Rihanna fans are hilarious one minute youre using the fact shes ‘pop’ against her, then when its convenient its oh no shes RnB. Shes a bit of both that’s all I am saying hon, she wouldn’t be so mainstream if she wasn’t pop aswell 😀

      • Micks May 2, 2013

        @Mwah DW he gets what you mean deep down its not rocket science. Beyonce falls under the category of both pop and RnB that’s what I love about her, shes able to go mainstream but still keep her RnB roots. Lets not forget what ‘pop’ means.

  16. Mwah May 2, 2013

    Good for them

  17. fatusankoh May 2, 2013

    that is a shame for hatters to keep saying bey copy bey dont copy no one you go bey keep doing good as always hatters want to bring youdown by the grace of god they are the one to come down with shame

  18. Blue May 2, 2013

    Hasnt rihanna done stuff like this before

  19. Micks May 2, 2013

    I love Beyoncé <3

  20. KD May 2, 2013

    I love that pic of her…FIERCE

  21. Teacher May 2, 2013

    If all the tickets were sold out…how come they have that many left to give away for free?…hmmmm….

    • Vee May 2, 2013

      You dumb. Lol concert organisers NEVER put the full amount on sale no matter who it is, hence why you can WIN tickets and so on and so forth.

  22. rihking May 2, 2013
