it's on HBO (which is in the middle of a free weekend). It's pretty much autobiographical and an artsy fartsy release of her new album. I'm not a huge Beyoncé fan. I think she's overrated and overexposed. But the subject matter was pretty ballsy. |

I lost respect for her a few years ago. When I heard that she and JayZ were faking arguements in elevators just to sell more tickets, that's when I stopped taking any interest in her. I do see her "reign" going downhill. Finally people are seeing the light for people like her and her husband, Kanye, Kelly Ripa, etc.............. Blech!

Not to mention that ridiculous half-time show. Didn't watch, have no interest in watching but those who like her go for it. :-) |

This little hour show will shed some light on that elevator fight. Ooh wow... I have to know the details but I can't bring myself to watch it... So, it doesn't make her look too good??? I guess after so long, you can't hide your true colors. As a sidenote, I saw a little clip last night of Prince speaking about performing with her after a Grammy show (I think it was the Grammy's). He said something to the effect that he believed PERFORMING was all live, not singing over your own tracks, and the only people that would need to be doing that would be acrobats. LOL. Meanwhile, she looked so happy that he got to perform with her. Meh. RIP to Prince. From everything i've ever heard or read or seen, he's been and incredible human being. |

Thanks for the thread. I did watch it and have absolutely no idea what it was about! Are her and Jay Z split? This was me....  Someone please explain! |

Didn't watch and have no interest in it. She's overrated in my book and this level of drama for an album release isn't my style. But I hope her fans enjoyed it...

Spoiler...
He cheated, she left him, she took him back. He's cowed enough he appeared at the end kissing her feet and looking like someone snatched his balls. the best parts were her ripping him a new one. It's all told through imagery, song and some really bad poetry (not a fan of poetry, maybe it's good, mostly sounded like someone trying too hard).

I just don't get the appeal. But I'm old and crotchety that way.  |

Are these song lyrics that you assume are based on her marriage? |

It wasn't ambiguous, the message was clear. Why they want to put it all out there like that? It's not like they need the money nor the notoriety.
Rachel Roy tweeted basically an admission she's the Becky with the good hair.
These people seek too much attention. I'm not a Beyoncé fan and even I watched after I realized what a train wreck it was going to be.

Beyonce doesn't seem like the type who would share or refer to this personal matter publicly. Rachel Roy's tweet just said she respected marriages, she didn't admit to anything. Her Instagram post, I don't know, could be a veiled comment or just a random coincidence. But how exactly was the connection made to Rachel, was her name said by Beyonce, just wondering how people connected the dots? I just got her fashion book from the library so I googled who she was the other day.

Ahh, so I am starting to understand a little bit. I missed the first title but saw denial and anger. I thought it sounded like the steps of grieving. I also was get the feeling she was cheated on. But, since I am not a Beyonce fan I didn't really know. But towards the end I saw Jay Z and was all kinds of confused!
So the title.... Is it a reference to life giving her lemons so she is going to make lemonade?

I think that whatever you think of her/them/the music, she sent a very powerful message about who can be effected by infidelity... How rich, powerful, beautiful women feel it the same, go through the same stages, have the same doubts as anyone...
For her to not just issue a sound bite, but put out an album that takes a lot of time, resources, lays out a lot of personal details, is there for everyone to scrutinize, etc, sends the message that cheating isn't a 20 second sound bite or a tweet... It's something that takes over your life for a period of time and she's shown that... I think it shows a different side of infidelity that we're usually a shown, and one that a lot of people will relate to...
I also think that her husband participating is an example of a male acknowledging he made the mistake rather than the too typical response of it being her fault or she's crazy/making it up... It's a validation, and a lot of people who have been cheated on want that kind of confirmation... Sets an example/standard - women are not crazy, and it is absolutely alright to ask for/demand that the head games are not okay...
She - and he, are looked up to by so many... I'm hopeful about what message people will take away from her sharing her experiences...

Are you saying the elevator fight where her sister hit Jay-Z was staged? I thought it happened because he wandered a bit... |

I sure wish Beyonce and every other celebrity you live to talk trash and gossip about had access to the sordid details of YOUR life, but I'm sure they're probably too busy having good lives to give a shit what you think. Small minds, and all that. |

Ok I am off to crawl back under my rock laughing at myself all the way. |

What lisacharlotte is saying is true. They are all talking about it on the morning shows. Along with poor Rachel RAY, being raked over the coals by the Beyoncé fans, confusing her with Rachel ROY. gad. You would think if you are going to trash on someone you would think you'd get the right person. HA
Annabelle I think you missed one of Roy's tweets, that she apparently later deleted.
I have never liked beyonce. She's not my style. I have read mixed reviews about the whole Lemonade video.

1. I'm all for awareness of women's issues, including infidelity and abuse*. Nobody deserves to be treated that way, no matter who they are. That being said...
2. I have no use for Beyoncé. She sold her dignity for fame a long time ago. I've seen enough of her on the superbowl halftime shows, don't need to see more.
*NOT saying he abused her - I don't know if he did or not - was just speaking generally.
