Beyonce Opens Up About Diaper Changes, Nursery Rhymes & Showing Daughter Blue Her 'Working Mom' Side On "Anderson Live"

Sep 10 | by Natasha

Beyonce Knowles appeared on the second season premiere of "Anderson Live" today. Check out what she had to say about who loves diaper changes more (her or hubby Jay-Z), the nursery rhymes she sings to baby Blue, and why it's so important for her daughter to see her on stage.

Highlights and video inside...

Taped at the same time as her World Humanitarian Day interview with Anderson Cooper, Beyonce's newest interview segment aired today during "Anderson Live."

The new mom gave us a peek into her new mommyhood days. She also reveals the new self esteem she's gained thanks to her 8-month-old daughter Blue Ivy.

On her newfound self-esteem

Well, [having a child] just gives you purpose and all of the things that my self esteem was associated with, it's all completely different. I realized why I was born and more than anything all of the things I want to pass onto my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her but showing her by example which is one of the reasons I'm here. I don't want to preach, I want her to learn by what I do.... My daughter is seven months and I brought her to the [Revel concerts] rehearsal because it's important that she sees her mother doing things like this.

On who loves to change diapers more--Beyonce or Jay-Z

Jay's very good. I love changing diapers. I love every moment. It's so beautiful. I love it all.

On Jay speaking out in favor of marriage equality

I absolutely agree.

On singing nursery rhymes to Blue

I sing nursery rhymes and I'm mommy and when she sees me, today was the first time she saw me perform in rehearsal, she was very confused. I sing all of them. I make up actually a lot of crazy, corny songs.....Please, I'm not going to sing them now. Unless you sing "Single Ladies."

Bey ended the interview by randomly telling Anderson he has the best laugh in the world--and he said it's because he laughs like a 12-year-old girl. Ha! Check out a few clips below:

I wish she would give

I wish she would give interviews that are more genuine and authentic instead of these PR rehearsed interviews. Her interviews are always boring because before watching, you already know what she's going to say. Everything is always wonderful, amazing, and perfect, even changing shitty diapers.

I totally agree. I love

I totally agree. I love Beyonce. Her classiness, how she stays true to herself, her woman empowerment, her drive and inspirations. However, her interviews always sound so rehearsed and like she has to give the best possible answer rather than a real, genuine, at the moment answer. Real people connect to real people flaws, hardships, happiness, frustrations, and good times. Everything in your life is not roses and flowers. Just be real. I guess she'll never be on Oprah's Next Chapter cause there will be nothing to talk about.

Beyoncé is my girl but

Beyoncé is my girl but sometimes when I watch her interviews, I have to STOP, and scratch my head like..."Did she REALLY just say that??" I LOVE the girl but ain't SH*T "beautiful" about changing diapers! I'm happy she is EMBRACING motherhood nonetheless, and Anderson Cooper does have a SWEET laugh!!

First of all, she NEVER said

First of all, she NEVER said "having a child" Natasha...you implied that. Bey didn't say it b/c a SURROGATE had it. Bey lost her self-esteem b/c she wasn't able to give birth and be a REAL MOTHER. She took Blu to a concert "to see mommy perform like this" ....you MEAN...like a CROTCH exposing Vegas Show Girl!!!!!! She's lying about "loving changing diapers".... b/c 6 nannies do it and Solange (Bey can't even carry her own umbrella or the baby's toys). And Cray Bey is still using the word "CRAZY" a lot i see....hmmmmm...i wonder why ??????????????????? and I have a little Nursery Rhyme for YOU Crayonce'...."Rock a bye Cray Bey from the tree top............." and wipe that phony shit-eating-grin off your face .................

This chick says the craziest

This chick says the craziest crap. "I brought her to the rehearsals because it's important that she sees her mommy doing things like this". Things like shaking your ass in a leotard? This baby is only 7 months old and not only does she not know what you're doing, she doesn't give a f--k. SMH...

Why do people put so much epahsis on her vocabulary ot speech,(A) WE dont pay to here Beyonce speak. (B) She is not a English teacher (C) She is not running for public office. She PERFORMS and WHEN SHE DOES SHE LEAVE IT ALL ON THE STAGE and that is why we love her, so take that nonsensical bullshit somewhere down the dial BROKE BITCH!

Right!! damn i can see if she was the first lady or some shit, but even still the woman is HUMAN, they(HATERS) dont seem to get that THEY are the one's making her seem as if she is just a GOD bcuz they critize her as if she is not entitled to make mistakes, NO she did not come out of a virgin vagina nor concieved in a virgin womb, so y in the hell would she not be at faults sometimes, pestimistic MOFOS on here, i totally agree with you!!
