Go GaGa free bitch baby. Lady Gaga has gotten more attention on this post that is supposed to celebrate YBF chicks NOW THATS A BAD BITCH .

I think that the beautiful

I think that the beautiful Beyonce Knowles deserves her place on the Forbes Most Powerful list for 2010 as shes talented, successful, beautiful and a real R&B music female icon. Her amazing R&B songs and Beyonces music videos have been some of the hottest R&B music videos ever. She is also now a successful business women and has earned millions of dollars in endorsements too and she is also a role model for so many women worldwide.

So being a jet setting gardener makes you powerful? Forbes is nuts to put Obama on this list. 7-10 are just as lame.

she is on the list not only

she is on the list not only cuz she's a jet setting gardner as u say, she is the former vp of external affairs of the UIC medical center, she graduated from whitney young, one of the best and smartest high schools in chicago, she graduated from harvard law, which i'm sure never happened too you, she was commisioner of planning and development for chicago working with mayor daley oh and not to mention her husband runs the country. if that ain't power, you tell me what is.

I love lady Gaga...and I

I love lady Gaga...and I don't think race is an issue here. Lady Gaga is a pure extraordinary genius and songtress. She plays the piano and composses her own music. Let's be honest...Bey isn't all that educated, musical composer or creative. She's a package contemporary chic. Lady Gaga is a bad chick she's always going to be different and talented and that's what attracts an audience. point blank.

LETS NOT FORGET SOMETHING

LETS NOT FORGET SOMETHING PEOPLE!!! BEYONCE IS NOT PURE POP. GAGA IS. BEYONCE IS POP WITH A BIT OF THAT SOULFUL EDGE THAT SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY THE RNB BACKROUND. GAGA CAME ON THE SCENE AS A POP ARTIST. GAGA IS WHITE. BEYONCE IS BLACK. (LISTEN MAN I KNOW IT HURTS BUT ITS THE TRUTH. WE DO LIVE IN AMERICA) Z100 IS TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH ANY GAGA SONG MARKING HER TO THE TOP. HOT97 OR POWER1051 WOULD PLAY A BEYONCE SONG OVER AND OVER.. ...... BUT WHICH RADIO STATION IS NUMBER ONE IN NY?? GAGA IS THE MODERN DAY MADONNA. CAME UP ON THE SCENE WITH WITH HER OWN FLOW AND HER OWN GROOVE. BEYONCE IS DESPERATELY TRYNA SHAPE INTO THAT GROOVE FOR POCKET MONEY. BEING MORE GENERIC IS WHAT IM SAYING. DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE WAS BEYONCE MOST SOULFUL ALBUM AND I DONT THINK WE WILL EVER HEAR THAT MANY RNB SONGS FROM BEYONCE IN ONE RECORD. BUT ITS COOL. I STILL LOVE BEYONCE AND I LOVE GAGA.

Well Beyonce's tour ended this year and her Grammy recognition was also this year. So this year's accomplishments were taken into account. So it is not like Beyonce was sitting her butt and they still put her on the list.

It's a sad day when black

It's a sad day when black women can't be happy for one another and have to tear Beyonce apart, to justify Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga has been out for 2 years, Beyonce for 13+. Both women are talented but when did Gaga ever become a bigger star than Beyonce. Also, when did she ever do anything for you ignorant ases, mainly black ppl in general? Beyonce on the other hand has done several things for us including all mankind in her long, successful career. In case you forgot, she donated money to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, she donated her salary from Cadillac Records to the women's shelter she shadowed in preparation for the movie, she started a trade school for said women, she conducted the hunger campaign while she did her last tour, and so on and so forth. These are the things we know of. Her and her husband do lots of things that aren't publicized. She does this all while keeping a level head, a good attitude, scandal free, not wearing meat suits to get attention (which by the way wasn't creative, it was actually unsanitary), and having an impeccable work reputation. You jealous coons that hate on Bey really need to stop. What's even funnier is that you're hyping Gaga up to outshine Bey, and she doesn't give a dam about you! Just your money. Dumb as coons need to get a clue. One of the reasons why black America is in the state it's in....SMH

I am pretty sure the majority

I am pretty sure the majority in this post think Both Beyonce and Lady Gaga or Ellen have no business on this list. Lady Gaga has a majority of gay fans and she fights for their rights regularly. So she definitely gives back to those who support her. You can stan for beyonce without insulting people.

Thought I could say what I

Thought I could say what I want, it is still a free country and I'm still entitled to my opinion right? If you're insulted, that's your issue. I was speaking generally, not specifically. The point I was trying to make was, 'some' black women are so jealous of others, they would tear a black woman apart to recognize someone else that's not black, has never spoken up for black people, and has never done anything for black people. But they're quick to say, Gaga should've been higher on the list, Gaga should've made the list over Bey, Gaga etc. I actually am aware that she supports gay rights, and gives to those who support her, but like I said, it's a sad day when black women lift up a white woman to throw shade at other black women.

I don't like Bey, but the title of the list is Most Powerful Woman. Unfornately, Beyonce has a lot of followers who will do anything she says. This makes her "powerful". Ellen is on the list bc she donates MILLIONS for different cause and has helped many individuals. Especially during the economic crisis.
