Beyonce hate . No, I don't like her, don't listen to her music, don't like her kids names, and her photos are ridiculously over the top. No, I don't hate her, but I don't care for her, and I am welcome to express my opinion. I don't care for Oprah, either. Kudos her for making her life what it is, but that doesn't mean I have to like her.

Congratulations to the new parents; their twins are adorable!
IMHO both announcement photos are too busy & distract from their subjects. They look like garish backgrounds from discount department stores' portrait studios of decades past. Plus, Beyonce's wardrobe choices (eg colored veils) add to the dated & gaudy look.

Rumi makes me think of old people's eyes and I rather hope Sir ends up dating Suri Cruise. Or they could all form a band called Rumi Sir Suri. Blue Ivy can be the lead. Blue Ivy and the Rumi Sir Suri band playing your favorite Motown oldies... coming soon to a nursing home near you...

Kudos her for making her life what it is, but that doesn't mean I have to like her. If you were to really examine the reasons why you "don't care" for Oprah where would the dislike stem from though? I would love for everyone who hates Oprah to write one simple emotionless reason why. Try it. Beyonce doesn't have any behaviors that would set her apart from any other celebrities. Yet you'd think she was the only one by reading here. No vain celebrity before her. Start a thread about professional tennis and you'd get the same thing. When Tiger Woods won the Masters they tried to bring him down to size with the collard green and watermelon jokes. Why? White people don't like to see black people dominate things. Simone Biles just got called "trash" and told she wasn't a good role model for excessive vacationing. Why? White people think we should work like dogs and aren't comfortable with black joy.

The Beyoncé hate cracks me up. All the Oprah "haters" have now had offspring! i don't hate beyonce but i don't get the fascination either i also don't get the photo bashing or the comments about her outfit or flowers we don't talk about one another like that - what makes it open season on her? i want to see the babies faces - all newborns are adorable - even the ones that aren't i like the name Rumi - it sounds Indian to me Sir is one of the least weird celeb names i can think of gina

The pictures are awesome, in that worst way possible. I didn't know I should have had a pregnancy theme (Nevermind, I think I did have a pregnancy theme for my photos. I call it "bloated acne.") I think Rumi is cute but Sir Carter kind of confuses me. Isn't their last name Carter? Or is his first name just "Sir"? My pregnancy theme was exhaustion. Come to think of it, it's still my theme Heck, I've never even had kids or been pregnant and that's my theme! Big props to all the moms out there- I never could do it.

Beyonce is a beautiful woman. I wish I could have seen more of the babies and less of the backdrop and the "virgin mary" head gear.

Rumi is lovely, if you like the Persian poet which is what I am thinking of.
Sir is not lovely.

Why do I not like Beyoncé?
She is fake, an attention whore and thinks she is the only woman to eber get pregnant or give birth. She names her kids stupid names just for attention. Sir Carter Carter? The poor kid...
Trademarking a name? Equally arrogant and stupid. The name Rumi has been around long before the queen wanted it. Sir is not a name, it's a way to address someone. You cannot trademark Sir.
Nothing to do with her race, colour, size, or age. She is just annoying as hell.
Why is EVERYTHING about race with you?
Oh, and before you get all high and mighty offended...
I also think the names of many white celebs babies are stupid too. Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Ingo Radamacher, Penn Jillette. Just to name a few.

I do like Oprah, and I was sad when she retired her show.

I don't think I've ever seen someone hold twins that way before with both cradled in her right arm. The one on top of the other had to be placed there by a stylist. I'm nervous just looking at them.

I am a white person and I think the Williams sisters are awesome and have done great things for tennis, despite not being treated very well at times by the tennis community. Other than one Serena meltdown for which she was appropriately sanctioned, I think they have comported themselves with grace and dignity. It troubles me that you often accuse us of making generalizations, yet you do the same. I like Oprah, I hate Beyoncé's music, but I also hate country music. I hate Beyoncé's photo because I'm a photographer, and I want to see the babies against a backdrop that doesn't compete with their fresh beauty. Yes, the world is full of racist assholes, but it really sucks to be lumped in with them because of my skin color.

Rumi sounds like a type of liquor.
Look I get why celebs do this, they expect their kid to be famous and thus they need to have a one of a kind name like "beyonce" so everyone knows who you're talking about by one name. Beyonce by the way is an alternate spelling of her mother's maiden name.

Are you serious!!! There are many celebrities that I don't care for. Some of them are white and some are black. Why must you play the race card any time someone expresses their feelings about a celebrity who happens to be black. I don't care for Beyonce's music or her clothing choices. It has nothing to do with her skin color.

I, too love Venus Williams. She is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Up there with Steffi Graff.
She is on the verge of winning Wimbledon at age 36!! Amazing athlete.
Yep..but when I tried to point it out, she got nasty about it. Then called me a racist. The irony and hypocrisy is large.

The flowers behind them compete with flowers on the dress, but I get that they were going for an extension of the pregnancy photo by using the same background. to me, the way she's posed in the photo (both of the photos, actually) brings to mind visions of Our Lady of Guadalupe... just a bit over-the-top, in my opinion. (well, actually a LOT over the top, actually.) BTW, the article called it a 'purple floral sheet' instead of a dress, lol!!

"Stop turning everything into race" says the people who champion making everything about race. Also I think it's important to keep in mind it doesn't matter if I think you're racist or not. Hell its America it doesn't even matter if you actually are racist. I was apart of the some not all crew but now I am okay with making sweeping generalizations because Nov 2016 and the moment I am wrong well that's going to be a pretty awesome day.
