well she did make number 1 in Forbes magazine for top paid under age 35…. to my memory I believe she made 87 million maybe little more or less? ……Yeah, very little of that went into making these videos, lol. She’s already made icon status, I guess she thinks she has nothing to prove or is out of ideas.

But on the other hand…I would literally starve for a good video, the video in my mind was better than what was released.

I usually hear people (Beyonce’ Worshipers) complain about certain artists doing the same ol same, but now I’m hearing 1 of her worshipers saying,
& I quote “Yes, It’s the same 2 dancers in back of her, but there’s more to that…….Switching it up would just make it look like she does’nt stick 2 what s she says.”……

UH……What???

GAGGING HONEY!!! @ the people putting the word “icon” and Ciara in the same sentence! Let alone saying that her and Riri will become icons before the Queen Bee ***DEAD!!***

Don’t you late ass queens already know that Bey is already an icon, especially in the black gay community. Yall know damn well every black drag queen has their favorite *three-piece number* Beyonce routine ready in their back pocket, just in case they wanna slay the gurlz with a fierce show.

Ur Welcome. It’s always a pleasure to hear from someone else who actually gets it. May the light of good sense and insight continue to be with you. LOL! Sadly nothing we say will ever get through the fudged brains of Lady B’s followers. They simply don’t get it; as so their leader! They’re all in Disturbia

Ok some cock headed chicken fools on here are talking utter ish! For one beyonce is completely original because noone can do it like beyonce and noone is doing it like beyonce. Ciara is a FLOP she cant sing her dancing bores me and her music is wack, she dont write her music. To say Beyonce copies rihanna make me wanna act a fool. Everything Rihanna does is in some way something bey has done when rihanna got that umbrella haircut bey had had it first. She was completely inspired by Beyonce. Plus Rihanna is absolutely talentless. She just a little puppet to her record company. She CANNOT sing, she CANNOT dance, she doesnt write her music AT ALL she doesnt even select her songs its all done for her. She tries way to hard with her fashion, beyonce has simple elegance, rihanna just changes up her image to get noticed. Beyonce is the leader of the pack and she already is an ICON everyone knows who she is. Rihanna promoted the shit out of that last album and released so many singles and and reissues so fair enough she worked hard but no input of hers went into the creative side of things. People better not get it twisted when they talk about BEYONCE because i seen that bitch live and she is SICK CRAZY!

I think the person meant CiCI & RiRi becoming an icon before Bey by INNOVATIVENESS or CREATIVENESS….. Bey is LACKING so far…. she’s really NOT taking it there! We all know Ci & Ri can’t sing for shit, but let’s not kid ourselves, IF all there was to a singing career was SIMPLY to be a SINGER with TALENT, MOST of the singers out today would NOT be here and I’m sorry, but that’s INCLUDING Beyonce, let’s face it folks…………….. if she wasn’t as beautiful as she is, you all wouldn’t even give her the time of day, so LET’S BE REAL!

WOW, I am TRULY IMPRESSED that someone had the guts to tell the TRUTH! Thanks Trucie!!!!!!!!!!!

HERE IT IS RIGHT HERE:

******************************************************************************************

uh People lets get this straight. Beyonce is not or will she ever be innovative. Her music style maybe creative but not her videos. I luv Beyonce just as much as the next fan but what the fuck ever happened to fucking concepts that match the god damn theme or lyrics of the song. Seriously what does all that dancing and girating have to do with with what I thought the song meant. This girl is just becoming silly now. And the people around her are not helping. This video would have been better suited for Diva which she also shit on. Wow, she just doesn’t get it and maybe if her fans were more honest with her and not just praising everything she does because she’s Beyonce, she would probably work harder to bring herself on a different level as well as her videos. You people need to learn how to remain objective. The video does not match the song (period)! For those of you hating on Ciara and Rihanna watch and see how they become the next icons in music history way before Beyonce. They offer something different regardless of their vocal abililties and that is what’s taking them to the top. Beyonce needs to stop, take a break (say about 4 years) and reinvent herself. Only then will we see her true potential. SHe has oversaturated the air and tv waves and she only feels the need to so to keep up with the likes of Rihanna and Ciara so what does that say about her. Don’t tell me you all haven’t seen the serious swagger jacking she did in this video and the her last couple paying homage to the two main other girls in the game that was bold enough to take on the her and pedestal that everyone has her on. I’m not a hater, trust. I own everything Beyonce; from posters, dvds, to her albums DC3 included and it’s very sad to say. But she is played out and though I think this album is great, she has failed to deliver in the video aspect.

Lmao people who say the videos have no concept!

its originating from the concept of the ALBUM!!

this is sasha!! a dancing diva!

so, its the sasha theme, in all the sasha videos. get it?

By: Troubleoh7

Troubleoh7 — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:34:49 +0000

LOL! Clearly, I have nothing better to do …

I don’t NEED to sing Bey’s praises.
She sings them herself when she gets on stage in front of …Who? … Fans!!!

Saying that “Bey is not a star or that she is not Talented” is like saying “The sun doesn’t shine”!

And anyone who utters such foolishness sounds like … A Fool!!!

I am unemotional an objective. I recognize people for what they are.

I see Ciara for what she is.
She is beautiful.
She can DANCE –
When she has an opportunity to strut her stuff-
She dances HARD and sings LOW.

Ciara has to prove to the record labels that she can sell records … She hasn’t done that.

Beyonce carries the label in her back pocket.

I see Beyonce for what she is.
She is beautiful.
She can DANCE – (Not as well as Ciara)
She doesn’t wait for an opportunity to strut her stuff- She creates them.
People are banging down her door to perform.
Not only does she DECIDE what stage she will perform on * She decides who ELSE will perform on that stage (Ask Letoya!)
Beyonce dances HARD + She sings HARD

I don’t care who she is copying or how fake her hair is.
She is a beautiful young woman – She doesn’t need to cover up and hide her “SEXY”.

As I stated earlier I could go on and on.

In closing, Let artists do there thing. Art is expression. If an artist you like isn’t expressing what you want to hear or see … Move on!
Don’t waste time hating – It’s not good for you.

Double Kisses! Muah! Muah!

PS. I’m still gagging that some “Nots” dont understand the video. And what a “Keekee” that other “Lames” really believe that Beyonce’s fans are just being nice and not TELLING her the truth… a mess …

uh Ray… NO! your explaination of the video has been rejected. Do you even realize that you spelled out the flaw in the concepts of both the song and the video? The video doesn’t say the song is, at all. Try again pls!

Troubleoh7 … ooh my bad with the spelling but my argument still stands. and how old are you anyway to be using words like Booboo? Really? I guess Beyonce uses that 87 mil to keep her fans singing her praise. Seriously, how much of the check did she cut you?

By: Trucie

Trucie — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:55:38 +0000

Lashonda… how much of the 87 mil did you get? lol. get off of Beyonce’s tit and open your eyes ppl. Since you try to argue something completely irrelevant to the point I am making, I’m not going to repeat and break down into syllables. I just don’t have the time. Maybe you all, Beyonce include, can go on hooked on phonix together. You should help her write her lyrics and maybe suggest better treatments for her videos. I mean if you’re getting paid for it, don’t you think you should do the work? i’m just sayin!

Wow! Ciara isn’t on Beyonce’s level for those who just choose not to except that. Ciara is a flop. Beyonce has been nominated for 2 Golden Globes. Ciara=none. Beyonc ehas 11 Grammy Awards. Ciara=None. Beyonce is HOLLYWOOD. Ciara is not.

Nicca please!

i hate when uneducated people want to hate on something without understanding it. Please pay attention to something before saying what you feel about it. The song is about her in a relationship and its going so good that it scares her and she says is it a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare. In the video, she is sleeping peacefully, then all of a sudden it seems she is having a nightmare. Then a DOVE raises her up (a dove in a dream represents a strong need for love and and represents loyalty which is what she is singing about in the song) then we see what she sees in her dream. A White Horse runs across the desert and a White Horse in a dream represents hope and insight to a current situation. The reason why the video is all white is because that is usually what we see in our dreams. And she is seeing multiples of herself in her dream. There is also a shout out to the Vitruvian Man which symoblizes the different proportions. Not only does this video have a lot of symoblism but also it was inspired by a Fashion video. The video is very High Fashion it was inspired from Gareth Pughs Fashion Video. No one will ever to make a video like this. Yes, its not expensive. Yes, Its the same 2 dancers in back of her. But theres more to that. The theme to IASF is Simplicity, and beyonce has been using 2 dancers in her videos the whole time. Switching it up would just make her look like she doesnt stick to what she says. Nobody said nothing when Michael had the same old Jacket and White Glove in all his videos in the Thriller Era. And no one says nothing about Lady Gaga having the same hairstyle in every video. BUt when its beyonce you all say, im tireddd of the same hair styleeee. Thats how you know beyonce is an icon. Everyone is obsessed whether they hate her or not.

Ok…WTF!!! Beyonce has completely fallen off. I love her music, but these cheap vids she serving is utterly dissapointing. She can do so much better than this. As far as peopel commenting about Ciara. I love Both Ciara and Beyonce but I have to say that Bey got some of Ciara’s moves in this vid. (i.e @ 3:04) the hip rolling with the hiting of the side. Looks like a move I have seen Ciara do millions of time. So we gotta call Beyonce on it if we can call out Ciara about hers!!!

Come on now…. Cici a icon before BEY!!!!! R u serious???? Bey is already and icon in many peoples eyes. Cici on the other hand is not. in most of our eyes she is a FLOP! So to compare a floppy artist to a damn near ICON… u have got to be CRAZZY! “C Error” cant even sing she dosent even have a good enough voice to carry her. And her dancining i really dont see whats the HYPE about it cuz she seems to be a lil stifff from my point of veiw. but thats me…. LOL GET THE FUKK OUT OF HERE! BEY THE QUEEN!!!

another duh-dunt duh-dunt.

If you want to call beyonce an idiot and give me advice on what degree I got or how much tuition I payed, you might want to start by spelling words like “pretends” correctly.

It puts a splinter in your entire argument, Booboo!

You can SCREAM as loudly as you want from your keyboard about Beyonce’s many faults. All the while, all of the $87,000,000 she made THIS year will sit QUIETLY in the bank.

everyone is waiting for Beyonce to reach that full potential which she clearly hasn’t. But she tries hard though and this is where, once, strong supporting fans become puzzled, then upset, then haters (like ppl insist on calling those who will not take eat everything Beyonce shits out). Which is why on some level, these other girls ie Ciara and Rihanna are able to outshine her and “make you say hmm” at times. It’s all disappointing because every single person on her; pro-Beyonce, anti-Beyonce or in between is craving something more than what she has given so far. She took us on a high on the first album and pple are waiting for that second which she hasn’t managed to deliver with Bday or Sasha. Think about all these ppl they compare to Diana Ross, Tina Turner, and Michael Jackson. What do they all have in common? Originality! And Beyonce imitates them all, none of her success is based on her own but what she has taken from the greats. For that reason alone Beyonce will never be an icon and that’s what I feel everyone is trying to get at even though they don’t realize it. She just needs to come harder.

Troubleoh7 lol …(sigh) lol. pls don’t try to school me on this. Next you’ll say that Beyonce really isn’t the idiot she pretense to be. i know exactly what I’m saying. Surreal LOL come on. What school of idiocy are you getting your degree from. I strongly urge you to withdraw, and beg for your money back. Sue if you have to. And when you do get that money back, take a course and Logic 101. There’s nothing dreamy or sweet about watching Beyonce pop her cooch to a song with those kind of lyrics. LOL.

Did someone write Ciara would be an icon before Beyonce? I care none to much who is more successful, i like what i like. Period. But to say that Ciara WILL achieve something that Beyonce already HAS is…oh, i don’t know…somewhat duh dunt duh dunt-ish?

Fact is, i think Ciara plays into a stereotype alot of people would call ” the way it should be”, whereas Bey-Bey always manages to switch it up just a little. She has so many songs that i don’t like, but i acknowledge what she is doing, thinking outside the box a little. And with Jonte on the choreo, chiiiiile, did you see his vids? HOTNESS on two legs.

and to round it all up nice and sweetly:

shoot, i missed the video before it was removed…

TheMan — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:17:03 +0000

LMAO, Ciara an Icon before Bey? she is already struggling with only her 3rd cd, she is almost done.
Bey copying Rihanna, COME ON, Rihanna is no where near Bey as far as music, stage presence, voice, dance, the only thing they both have is style.

trina b

you are one of many duh-dunt duh-dunts

If you are confused 30 seconds into the video than your opinion on the video doesn’t really matter.

In the beginning she’s asleep – when she floats up thats the beginning of the dream.

The – Video – Is – The – Dream

“Sweet Dreams”

Its surreal: look it up.

And as far as Ciara goes –

How many albums does it take for someone to become a household name?

Ciara is talented
but she is not A-List by any means.
Either she doesn’t have as many fans as Beyonce or Her fans are not willing to buy her records. $$$$$

Fans spend money
$Rihanna$ and $Beyonce$ have fans!
Ciara has admirers and onlookers …

Ru- said it best:

Ri and Bey aint got no time for no lookie-lou Boo!

Uh yeah. Right video but wrong song. I was so hoping that she would have done right by Sweet dreams. The intro has nothing to do with rest of the video. OMG and Beyonce has managed to recreate DC3 as it should have been from the very beginning. She doesn’t have to share the credits even though she’s still in a group by that I mean the two dancers that are in all of her videos. At one point she look like she was catching a seizure. But once again another dissapointment. I was heavily mislead by her first two videos. Ciara’s going to become an icon way before she ever does sadly to say. Work was ten gazillion time hotter than this crap! And mind you this is coming from a die hard Beyonce fan.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love how she stays consistent with her videos. She don’t give a fuck if you don’t like her two back up dancers, that’s Sasha’s theme and that’s how it’s staying. The choreo is divine, she looked beautiful. The video is distorted to represent the “Sweet Dream/Beautiful Nightmare”. For all the haters out there, why the hell does Beyonce need to sit down for your artist to shine. When Aretha was killing the game did the other R&B female artist whine and complain. NO they stepped up their fucking game, so I suggest you chicken heads to the same.
