Beyonce Covers Essence & Dishes About Her Wedding To Jay-Z…Finally!
Click image for full size
ESSENCE’s November issue features Beyoncé who talks about life in the spotlight–and being Mrs. Shawn Carter–in the article entitled, “I Am Legend.” And it’s about damn time. Also, after a failed marriage that swirled with innuendo and a short-circuited television comeback, Star Jones talks about her controversial bypass surgery and why she’s ready to find love again in “Starting Over.” Then in “Child Brides,” ESSENCE explores why all over the world girls as young as ten are given away in marriage to men several times their age. This month’s issue also features tips on surviving the financial crisis, hot looks for fall, our 2008 Election Guide and more.
And be sure to check out Beyonce’s Essence cover story for your favorite gossipist’s take on the B Season publicity drama. Oh yes, YBF indeed was tapped to give insight and quotes for Beyonce’s cover story…and hopefully they weren’t edited out for suspect reasons. *half smile* The November issue of ESSENCE hits newsstands on October 12th.

I cant wait…
Keyisha is suppose to drop in December…she may want to rethink that…he’ll anybody dropping in the next 2 months needs to rethink this…
I remember reading this blog a while back and people on here were saying that they wished she would retire and never come back….We all have to be honest with ourselves…the game NEEDS Beyonce…There’s no excitement on the radio….

Actually, it was a link on link on the magazine’s website…I believe its still up too. I didnt want to get banned so I didn’t post it. You can go to essence’s website and put the backslash and the word anniversary after the web address. You can get 3 years for $15 and 2 years for $10. They even take paypal! I just checked it to be sure. Please Tasha don’t ban me…I’m trying to pass good info along.

What??? The game NEEDS her???? I’m not a hater or a fan, I just tell it like it is…She is an entertainer, nothing else….Her singing is below medicore, if it weren’t for the studio, she wouldn’t be able to hold a true note..Sorry, I’m just being honest..I do have to give it to her though, yes she is making money, and it seems that on this board, that’s all that matters to most…*I hate when I read, but she making money* To me, real talent is Nancy Wilson, Sade, Patti, Chaka, Cassandra Wilson, Jill Scott…the list goes on…..When all you need is a live band and a mic, not 500 dancers, sky rockets, a light and lazer show, just to do your thing….

I’m sure the only ones not feeling threatned are Alicia Keys adn MJB……They have real talent and pretty solid fan base who supports them
If Keyshia could perform live she’d be alright cause her music does sell, but once she does a live show it takes it all away…AND
Little Miss Sunshine NEEDS to take notes during B Season. She needs to be at every concert and live show taking notes on how to PROPERLY entertain people outside of a magazine!!!

With that said, that is an extremely ugly cover of Essence, and Beyonce looks remarkably like Solange.

I loveeeeee Sade! That was gunna be my name but my mom opted for something German instead lol but Beyonces the new type of enterainer and lets face it, nowadays, chicks coming out can’t hold a note and as you wrote, need 500 dancers and whatnot. I love Beyonce, and I think she is the best out of the new crop (Keyshia Cole, Rihanna, Ashanti and Ciara), and a lot of new girls comin in the game WISH they could have her success but lets be serious, Beyonce is a beast. NOW. I’m defenitely not gunna compare her to the likes of Tina, Aretha or Patti but she is a beast! No denying.

Have you ever seen Beyonce perform live? She is amazing….she dont need nothing but a Microphone and the stage…everything else she does is extra….
When I saw her back in 2004, she only had like 5 backup dancers and the stage….That was the best time I ever had at a concert!!!
Who else singing today holds it down like Beyonce….

LOL. Mannn, nobody even thinking about Rihanna. Pretty girl but she can’t perform to save her life. Beyonce takes over the stage. I get chills everytime she performs. Keyshia is whack live, but I loved both of her albums specially the first one. Alicia is cool and I love me some Mary J Blige, she is in a league of her own.

Girl, I’m from Houston…So I have been force feed Bey for far too long…Now what really does piss me off, was how she went out on stage for the JayZ concert in New York, but yet, she wouldn’t even show her face for his concert here in Houston…and yes, she was there….Like I said once before, I guess she forgot about the fans back in the day that was cheering her ass when the rest of America was boo’ing the DC act…..But hey, like I said, I like true singers, not entertainers, there is a difference…
