As one of Pop’s leading vocalists, there is no denying the impact Whitney Houston had on ‘4‘ belle Beyonce.
Hence, in response to Houston’s death, the singer has shared her thoughts on her passing today, hours before the icon is honored at the 54th Annual Grammys.
Her moving statement below…
“The loss of Whitney Houston is painful. I remember meeting Whitney for the first time when I was 15. She was the ultimate legend. The ultimate woman.
Not only was she confident, poised, stunningly beautiful and intelligent, but she was sincere and kind. She took the time to make everyone feel like they were very important to her.
I, like every singer, always wanted to be just like her. Her voice was perfect. Strong but soothing. Soulful and classic. Her vibrato, her cadence, her control. So many of my life’s memories are attached to a Whitney Houston song. She is our queen and she opened doors and provided a blueprint for all of us.
God bless her.”
– Beyoncé

Ahhhhhwwwwww the Queen talks about the Queen!
The Queen Is Honoring the Queen ! May she Rest in Peace !
Well said Bey
before hater come here and stars all that fuckery ………………..she just released a statment to show her respect and pain after the loss of the VOICE so hater don t be rude for one time
Beautiful words from Beyonce!!!
Well say, we have to stop hating people (Artists) like if we really know then personal, i know she was sincere because everybody feel the same about Whitney’s death.
This is a great Rememberance from Beyonce, this is
a sad time for everybody who knew Whitney. We can get
strength for each other remembering and speaking about
Whitney and her Impact on the world & many PEOPLE’S LIVES!!!!!
She waited until everyone else said their peace so she can get the spotlight comment all to herself. I would trade Lady Gaga to get Whitney Houston back
Nice statement. Looking forward to all the tributes, including hers.
who’s Beyonce?
Monkeyonce
RIP
What does BeYAWNce have to do with Whitney Houston passing away? She has no association with Whitney. They never recorded a song together, they were not friends, they never performed together. This is just another case of BEY-sides trolling another artists shine. BeYAWNce stans can’t even let Whitney have her moment when she DIED. F*** you BIONCI trolls. Always desperately trying to bring BeYAWNce’s name into everything. And shame on BeYAWNce for always trying to outdo everyone. NOBODY can grieve harder than BeYAWNce…nobody is more inspired by someone who died than BeYAWNce. It’s disgusting and she and you stans should be ashamed. The LEGENDARY Whitney Houston dies and you post BeYAWNce song lyrics? And talk about BeYAWNce.
LET
IT
GO.
BeYAWNce stans prove time and time again how CLASSLESS they are. Have absolutely no taste.
well said Bey…. this is such a sad time
RIP Whitney
RIP WHITNEY HOUSTON
YOU WILL BE MISSED

Of course this was honest. I respect Beyonce. Nothing to say about her
But a post with just her words? Why? Didn´t anybody else have words for Whitney? The Mariah post made sense cos so many things they shared but I can´t see why a Beyonce one. Only for her.
Still all the words for Whitney are great. This is the female Michael Jackson impact in the whole wide world. Just watch any channel or itunes right now for example. Deep inside everybody loves true greats
It funny beyonce didnt say one word about jhuds family. As soo as there is a tribute jhud is called first by the president at the ingaration. Now the grammy beyonce just dont have a big voice she got a loud voice there is a difference you didnt speak to jhud during her pain i dont find this sencere. At least whitney was real.
From one Queen to another!
I don’t understand how Whitney dying has anything to do with Beyonce. No other celebrities released statements to the press. Everyone tweeted about it with their phones. Why did Beyonce release an official statement? Nobody asked her. It’s tacky, but that’s Beyonce I guess. She always has to be in the spotlight
Yall know Beyaawwnce didnt write that statement. She aint that intelligent. So thank her publicist/PR person. #LAME #EPICFAIL
what is wrong with you people? beyonce just posted how she felt about whitney passing she is not trying to get attention just stop with all the stupidity! what bey said was sweet! so just leave it alone and please stop for just today with all the hate!
I knew it! LORD forgive me……..@Jer…Ur such a Dumb Ignorant Retarted Delusional B**** and isnt even funny. Didnt Beyonce say she met her when she was 15 and Whitney was a fan of Beyonce. She sanged Survivor to DC at her Tribute BET did for her n 2002. Stupid ass h**, know the facts before u open ur hating ass mouth f*****. Plus im sure the other stars that said something about Whitney, didnt know her either, but wanted to pay homage to her. Ur such a miserable lonely b****, u just have to say something about Beyonce all the time. GET A LIFE! If Beyonce didnt put out a statement, then ur raddegy ass wouldve been like why she didnt put out a statement. *To everybody else, im very sorry to ruin this sad time for trash like @Jer. #I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U WHITNEY HOUSTON
If this isn’t a pure Narcissism, then I don’t know what is. B could take several several seats.
@JER And so what if she didnt get to really know Whitney but she knew who she was and how much of a legend she was ?! She cant say RIP w/o you saying she copies people ! Damn, your a f****** HATER !
this is very touching beyonce i love her tribute she did for whitney on her fb page
so beautiful………… they loved each other very much
Well said Beyonce’ ….the haters are mad she mad an officail statement, she is Beyonce SMDH
REST IN PEACE WHITNEY THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
beyonce performed with whitney houston, mary j blige, and jewel at he VH1 DIVAS A FEW YEARS BACK SO U ALL NEED NOT SPOIL SUCH A MOMENT
@AM DUMB ASS I DO U EVEN KNOW WHAT pure Narcissism IS BEYONCE DO HAVE A SEAT AND ITS AT THE TOP DUMB ASS
Who cares what Beyonce says!! She always sez stuff when people die how they INSPIRE HER SO SO MUCH. #leggo No one else said nothing except on Twitter. WHy Beyonce gotta send a statment ot Billboard magazine? shes so gross!!
Whitney Houston is a Legend who was loved by many including Beyonce I’m sure so she has every reason to pay tribute of her own accord. And I’m far from a Beyonce fan but I thought her words were sincere and beautifully put…, unfortunately each post about Whitney has had many a trolling idiot posting negativity instead of compassion. Beyonce is an accomplished star in her own right but we ALL lost a Legend last night and it is not too much to ask for and expect a little Respect from EVERYONE who comes here.

Pleasssssse less have peace at least until tomorrow, then
we can kill each other okay.
Bobby christina has been RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL, AND
HER DAD IS ON HIS WAY BACK TO LA, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce isn’t the only artist to send out an official statement to Whitney.SMFH Y’all Are So Dayum Stupid Until Its Sad.Now when its a Beyonce post everyones running to spew Hate.Now where are The Hating Ignorant B******? We have a few here but where are the Big Mouth Hating Basis Beyotches. Y’all Ignorance Is At Its Highest. Whitney was a good person that’s why people loved her unconditionally.The way some of you conduct yourselves nowonder your PC is your best friend.Noone wants entertain y’all negative stupidass.Whitney can’t even rest in peace without dumb assholes celebrating her death and comparing her to other artist.Without Whitney there wouldn’t be any of the ones who are around now trying to make it to her status.Sam why block them Dayum It.
thx bey you said it all we your fans love whitney just the same way you love her r i p whitney god bless our bey
to be honest, i couldnt give two f**** if beyonce wrote a statement or not….
whitney died, an icon..this woman made alot of impacts on pop and r&b music….
to make this about beyonce vs her haters b*******…is f****** pathetic….
whitney will be missed…I pray for her family, her daughter….everybody makes mistakes, I hope she didnt suffer when she died…
wow..i’m still in shocked
@RATEDX( LEGENDS ARE BORN NOT BOUGHT)
You didnt have to say it like that….
For god sake….Whitney Houston pass away……her voice will never be match or Top
Can we Stop the hate and respect The Queen of all time
How about when Whitney Houston was in that Low point in her life….beyonce was there……she called whitey Houston to make sure she was okay and ETC… Whitney Houston said it ..beyonce called her
Ya have no respect for Whitney Houston
funny some folks claim they dnt give a damme bout beyonce instead of leaving a comment on whitney huston post the icon they love so much they leaving a comment on beyonce post i mean please qho i tryna fool
Some people are so damn bitter!!!!
Well said Bey. From one Queen to another Queen.
Keep it classy . . . always.
wow, I’m still in shocked…she had an amazing voice,
and even though she was battling alot of demons..I was very happy that she got better..
and her poor daughter..I feel for her..damn losing a mom so young..
and anybody thats using whitneys death as a mean to get publicity makes me sick..i hope all those well wishes that everybody is sending out, is coming from the heart..
when i said i didnt give a damn a bout beyonce writting a letter, meaning, if she did it for publicity thats on her, if it came from the heart thats on her..
hence me not giving a damn to why she did it……
noticed alot of comments on here were saying beyonce did it for publicity….i could have easily jumped on that wagon..but i said i dont give a damn to why she did it..
i swear u stans love to pick and pick on every little thing people say when it comes to beyonce…
some ppl really do hate beyonce so anyone else can remember whitneys death but wen beyonce does it its for publicity i mean really beyonce aint gna tweet cause she doesnt use twitter so what she released statement some of yall hate for beyonce makes u look like real nutters she paid her respects just like everyone else did and some say her stand r crazy
so because she wrote a letter, I’m suppose to be like wow…..thats so amazing..
get the f*** out of here..
shes not the only singer/entertainer who wrote a letter toward whitneys death..so why should i praise her for it..
i didnt even bash the chick, all i said was i didnt give a damn to why she wrote the letter, since alot of people were accusing her of doing it for publicity..
every damn thing has to turn into beyonce vs her haters..i swear some people needs a hug..for real..
ive could have easily went in on the letter…but i said i didnt give a damn..now the stans want to still b**** and moan because i didnt praise the KING….
haters man-let people RIP & spread love-
OMG
i see this is going to turn into, everybody hate on beyonce post….
who gives a damn to what people say on here..its their opinion..
if they think beyonce did it for publicity, why the f*** are u stans getting mad and taking it personally..?
and how the hell do you know her real intent behind that letter? you guys sounds like a bunch of nutcases,…acting like u know the chick personally….
because people are saying she might have did it for attention..that automatically turns into hate….
Funny how Whitney showed love to all of the artist and gave all of them Love
and that is the way it should be. We are all going to pass some day and what we did good is what is going to make history after we are all gone. People need to learn how to love instead of so much fricking Hate.

I don’t understand how Whitney dying has anything to do with Beyonce. No other celebrities released statements to the press. Everyone tweeted about it with their phones. Why did Beyonce release an official statement? Nobody asked her. It’s tacky, but that’s Beyonce I guess. She always has to be in the spotlight
she dint release a statement to the press she released it to her website and she couldn’t have tweeted like other celebs because she doesnt tweet at all
Bey always has to be in the spotlight. Great statement though, but its not about bey it’s about Whitney Houston. May her soul rest in perfect peace. Gone too soon.
Gawd it cant be easy being Beyonce, if she breathes people have a problem with it. every celeb around has spoken of Whitney, Beyonce does it, suddenly its for publicity, you guys should put the fear of God in your heart before you type these things. u cant even show Whitney that much respect. if u really cant stand Bey then u shouldnt have commented at all. wait til she gets her own post then u can troll but this is about the passign away of a legend but u cant see past your hatred for Beyonce.
smh im sure God has some greatness in store for B cuz this level of hate is just unnatural. yall might as well admit u want her dead cus she cant seem to do anything right in your eyes
again if u dont care why are u posting multiple comments? there are afterall other posts on Whitney’s death, u could’ve checked those out and ignored whatever Beyonce had to say. saying the stans are mad yet u cant seem to step away from your keboard/pad for more than a minute or even manage a sentence without profanity.u may call a sect mad but the tone of your comment shows who has really lost the plot
lol i just checked the post on Whiteny’s family statement and Bobbi Kristina’s hospitalization isnt it ironic that the person who “adores” Whitney but doesnt care about Beyonce has no comment on either of them but here with about 6 comments once Beyonce is mentioned lmao @RATEDX whatever ur complex with Beyonce is, u need to move on with ur life already, u’ve no idea how obsessed u are with her
People who hate Beyonce are usually the first to click on the post.
We just lost a legend …an icon, and somehow because beyonce released a statement on her official website, she’s seeking attention?? SMH
And to the dummy saying she didn’t reach out to Jhud….she very well did. And she released an official statement on her website. SMH….
RIP Whitney, you are TRULY in a better place. This world we live in….LAWD
Why is it that the so called people that don’t give a f$ck about Beyonce on this post..
If its about Whitney there are other post where you can give your condolences.
Its the same worthless Haters that claim the hate Beyonce so much(#IHATEDUMDPEOPLE), but always on her post before her fans SMDH
And Beyonce attend the memorial services of Jhud’s family….. but I have to go into FAN MODE because ppl dont know that there’s a time and a place for everything… and now is not the time to being spewing beyonce hate….
Someone’s mother has passed….someones daughter has passed….a friend, a legend, and icon has passed.
And y’all concerned with Beyonce sayina few good words about someone who paved the way for her??? SMH…..makes no sense
@BEY FAN….Don’t waste your time on TRASH
@grammy dammy sammy
whatever ur complex with me is, u need to move on with ur life already, u’ve no idea how obsessed u are with me….
PLEASE STOP ALL THIS DAMN FOOLISHNESS!! WHITNEY MAD AN IMPACT IN BEYS LIFE LIKE SHE DID YOURS…SO WHAT IF SOMEONE MADE A POST OF IT…THAT SHOWS HER IMPACT IN THE MUSIC WORLD…. U CLICKED THE LINK TO READ IT JUS LIKE THEY WANTED…LETS NOT PUT A SHADOW ON THE REASON THIS POST EXIST..GOOD DAY AND GOD BLESS
reading is very fundamental people..you stans are so quick to call out people, that you guys cant even take the time to READ and COMPREHEND words…
i didnt say i didnt give a f*** about beyonce, i said i didnt give a f*** about her statement toward whitney houstons..if her intent was for attention or it came from the heart, i couldnt give two f****..
of course because i didnt praise her statement, that makes me a hater…..
because i said i didnt give two f**** about her statement, people wants to b**** and moan and try to turn this into a f****** debate…everybody hates beyonce debate..everybody thats not kissing her ass, hates beyonce debates..
This statement has WAY too many big words. I know FLOPonce didn’t say this! Maybe someone else cause the H** can BARELY speak English 🙂
u already know i’m a beyonce hater, i live and breath to hate on beyonce…
why the f*** do u read my comments?
what is coming at me going to achieve, since in yall mind im a b****, c***, m*****, fat, ugly, who wish i was beyonce..who wish my fav would b*******
maybe because the majority of yall who stay calling people HATERS are the biggest fuccking hypocrites when it comes to other people….
so, coming at me makes, yall bitter bishes feel better about yall self….or yall just so damn stupid to ignore a person who u know hates ur fav..
im still trying to figure out whats the purpose of coming at me all mad and bitching and crying….
my opinions are not going to change….
but i do enjoy watching yall acting a fool over words type on a computer….
if my words, my hate affects u personally.. than booboo……lol….u have issues…

From one queen to the other cmon now people really?

@Rick
like i said earlier, if this letter came from her heart or for attention, i dont give a damn..
that was directed at the people who claim she did it for publicity…
but u stans of course took my words and ran with it.. and claimed i said i hate beyonce and dont care for beyonce…..
i didnt even say anything negative about the chick on the post…i tried to be nice and this is the thanks i get…
rolls eyes….
OMG…this girl is pressed for daysssss. The woman gave her condolences. She took to her site to pay homage. You pressed ass girl, did you say the same about other celebrities that did the same? That they were doing it for attention. Learn what the hell you are saying “couldn’t give two f****” actually means you care. And the hate started because you brought you ass in here hating. There is a post strictly for Whitney but you brought your trolling ass on a post that clearly says “Beyonce remembers Whitney,” stop with this foolishness. Please go somewhere and let us(bey and the hive) mourn and pay tribute to the Queen.
i didnt even come at the beyonce stans when they were saying from a queen to another queen..
you know putting beyonce on the same level as whitney…
or when they claimed they loved each other..
didnt make a comments toward that…
all i said was i didnt give a damn about beyonces statement, whether she did t for attention or it came from the heart…and the stans came at me and call me hater…
and than claiming this is about whitney..man please…ive seen more comments on here directed at the haters, than comment on whitney..lets keep it real…
and than, my number 1 stan beynight, took the d*** out of his ass, and try to come at me…please…

ive said that s*** 3 times, and ur slow ass only saw me saying i couldnt give two f****,,,,
i mean for real…get off my nuts…its getting pathetic…..how hard u stan for me…
but damn,,,get a f****** hobby instead of being on my nuts 24/7
Whatever haters. Beyonce issued a warm and sincere public condolence to Whitney’s passing, and even during this time of pop culture sadness, you miserable, overweight, no life having, no d*** having, unpretty Internet trolls still can’t get past your bitter insecurity where Beyonce (who is most likely more talented and gorgeous than you can ever hope to be) is concerned to let this opportunity to talk s*** pass. Honestly, do your mothers know what kind of bored, sad and pathetic losers she raised? Wherever Beyonce is at this moment, she is completely oblivious to your existence on earth, and couldn’t care less.
After all this time, haven’t you realized yet that there is not a damn thing you can do to hurt her? Beyonce has a following and a platform to make announcements like this that will be heard and received all around the world by a large audience. Aside from the comments section on ThatGrapJuice.net, what do you have?
@to be honest, i couldnt give two f**** if beyonce wrote a statement or not….
whitney died, an icon..this woman made alot of impacts on pop and r&b music….
to make this about beyonce vs her haters b*******…is f****** pathetic….
whitney will be missed…I pray for her family, her daughter….everybody makes mistakes, I hope she didnt suffer when she died…
wow..i’m still in shocked
where is the hate at..what part of this comment was hate toward beyonce?
because i said i couldnt give two f**** about her statement thats hate?… wow,,,,,ok….rolls eyes..get a f****** hobby for real
i swear some of these comments makes my day……lol
yes, everybody that doesnt like beyonce is fat, ugly, overweight, and wish they could afford the money to get b****** implants, nose jobs, lacefront wigs, so on to look like beyonce
yes…..
im trying to be nice, but damn..yall making it to damn easy for me..lol
I believe Beyonce statement was sincere. Even when Whitney was going through her public problems I recall Beyonce being on some show & the host asked her, who were the biggest musical influences in her life & she said Whitney was one. Even when everyone was laughing at Whitney & putting her down, Beyonce praised her. Thanks Beyonce.
Beyonce clearly stated her feelings towards the late great Whitney and The Bey haters have to come and say somethin negative about her for saying something positive.. You really must be pressed about something in your life.. May god bless your soul.. R.I.P. Whitney Houston you will be forever be missed..
Wow some people hate a certain artist so much they are obsessed .
Anywho , very heart felt . I remember Kelly talking about how she joined the then called ” gyrls time” group , she sang the ending part to ” I’m your baby tonight” and beyonce fell in love. R.I.P Queen Whitney
Pop Queens can not have a heart-to-heart without haters coming to f*ck it up. SMH.
yes a queen honoring another queen,beautiful Beyonce. Rest easy Nippy,we will always love you!
😆 At a certain point all you can do is just laugh at the haters and how zealously fixated they are. It takes too much energy to be so pressed over a celebrity you claim to not like, yet can’t stop talking about. If you were able to hate Beyoncé away she’d be gone by now, but she’s still here, so you’ve failed.
The only person who should be “realising statements” is The Houston family. Beyonce needed to take her ass to twitter like everyone else.
@DEV,,,, lmaoooooooo
take a back seat with that one
loved your tribute beyonce
very moving
Right…and I’m sure that the Houston family is really offended by Beyonce’s releasing a “statement” of condolence. Shut the f*** up, you simple hater you. How far has pop culture devolved that idiots like DEV would champion a throwaway message on Twitter over a thorough dedication printed where those closest to her is more likely to see it. Not everyone is rinky-dink.
Beyonce is a real vocalist and she knows very well how Whitney has influenced all of us singers. She will always be an inspiration.
@NAQU
Come back when someone can pronounce your name! Coming on here and calling people names. This shish just got personal.
X rated, don’t entertain trolls, it was pretty clear what you meant.
@ commender, much respect to your comment. I will stop bashing rihanna. The power of the stans lol.
Well written statement and beyonce has performed with whitney during tribute of mj as part of destiny child.
Shut up all of you , you immature little freaks. This is a woman paying respect to another woman.
Beyonce is so annoying.
And so are you.
Some of you are so damn sad. Age range must be 10-14 years of age. Yall sound so DUMB. Beyonce aint pressed about this s*** yall write. LMAO
WHITNEY HOUSTON ……..
A legend oh yes she was to think I was named after her and how cool her being whitney houston and me being whitney hughes 🙁 I dont even know what to say
she will be missed dearly, and so many women look up to her 🙁
People just love to hate beyonce….my god, she’s honoring and remember Whitney Houston like everyother celebrities! Whitney houston will be forever missed !
R.I.P Whitney Elizabeth Houston
