BEYONCE’S TEAM GIVES A BIG F U FOLLOWING EMMYS SHUT-OUT.

I can’t judge, since I haven’t seen it. All I know is, when it came out it was made very, very, very light of, hardly discussed or brought up, and forgotten. I was excited initially, but it never seemed to get promoted like Lemonade and the surprise album. Hate how they turn on celebs and move on. Hate it.

No matter what Anna Wintour says no class. But what else do you expect from a rapper.

I hope Rihanna wins an Emmy before her.

Flipping off the camera because you didn't win an award?

R2 Beyoncé isn’t a rapper 🙄🙄🙄

Beyoncé didn’t flip off a camera. Her team did. She wasn’t there. Nor would she do that.

How gracious!

It still doesn't look good on Beyoncé. Her team should know better r6.

It just looks like entitlement and sore losers.

Yes, because Beyonce's, "Team," is going to do something she doesn't authorize.

R9 they will when she’s not there. It wasn’t on her social media. Stupid.

I swear some of these individuals think their opinions really matter and their lack of respect shows in their crazy entitled behavior.

Not how it works, R10.

I can't friggin believe it didn't even get honorable mention. The Queen of all things music worked so hard on it and even let the public get rare glimpses into her private life. I bet it was because she becoming a civil rights activist and the white folks don't like it.

People are tired of kissing Beyoncé's ass.

Her documentary got 6 nominations. That’s honorable in itself.

b'Day needs a hit badly. That's why she's getting back together with Destiny's Child.

^Rihanna has the successful solo hit-list and career that Beyonce's fanbase can only ever dream of.

What a career she once had!

Beyoncé has had many hits. 🙄

OMG her film was an average behind the scenes concert film. There was nothing special about it.

Rihanna has a huge catalogue of songs people know.

Beyonce has ONE novelty song, "Single Ladies," and one lyric (she didn't write) that is famous with 35-45 demographic: "Becky with the good hair."

The Netflix special was crass and was just Beyonce appropriating and shitting over the legacy and importance of hbcu for 2 hours. Fuck her.

Why does DL always claim Beyoncé has had only one hit? That’s a lie lmao

She is OVER

No it isn’t.

R24 yes, it is a lie.

Everything Beyonce does, Rihanna does better.

Crazy In Love - #1

Baby Boy - #1

Me, Myself and I - #4

Naughty Girl - #3

Check On It - #1

Deja Vu - #4

Ring The Alarm - #11

Irreplaceable - #1

Beautiful Liar - #3

If I Were a Boy - #3

Single Ladies - #1

Halo - #5

Sweet Dreams - #10

Drunk In Love - #2

Formation - #10

Sorry - #11

To say shes only had 1 hit is bullshit....

Not to mention ...

"Dangerously In Love" was the best selling album by a female artist in 2003

"Beyonce" was the best selling album by a female artist in 2013

"Lemonade" was the best selling album by a female artist in 2016

But no hits according to some of you.

R27 And yet, none of us fucking care because she is a stuck up cunt with zero humour

RIRI FOREVER

R28 yes

Oh sure, she's had several hits R27. I agree completely. BUT she's definitely hit her peak with the combo of Self-Titled and Lemonade. Her post-Lemonade albums, Everything is Love, Homecoming, and The Gift all flopped. All three of them debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200. Even with the "hype" surrounding Everything is Love, it got blocked from that number 1 debut by 5 Seconds of Summer FFS. And according to your list, only 3 songs this decade peaked in the top 15 (4 if you include APESHIT). Again, that's 4 songs, from 6 different albums! Her last number 1 song was Single Ladies BACK IN 2008. She's over. Radio hardly touches her now. Even her streaming numbers are weak.

I like Beyonce. I really do. But with the media hyping her up to be the next coming of Christ that can do no wrong and who can literally shit gold is ludicrous. Homegirl doesn't write her songs, and she never has. All she does is pick which songs to put on her albums, and changes a few words to get that writing credit. She's not a visionary or an artist. She's a good dancer who's pretty and who surrounds herself with people more talented than she is and ever will be.

Beyoncé doesn’t release radio friendly music anymore. She’s filthy rich! She literally does whatever she wants.

Well, she CAN sing, r30.

As someone who doesn’t follow her career, I can hum two songs on that list. Single Ladies and Crazy in Love which is why I wouldn’t pay to see her live.

Beyonce is an entitled cunt, and it warms my heart whenever she doesn't get what she wants.

I loved seeing Jennifer Hudson get the Academy Award, while Beyonce had to sit on her Derriere and clap for Jennifer.

I'd love to see Rihanna win an Emmy next, just to watch the Queen of Pillow Babies cry her eyes out!

She has a desperate need to be worshipped which is is off-putting. Perhaps she should start a cult. Oh wait. She already has. The Beyhive.

I noticed you didn't actually answer any of my points R31 other than to say that she's rich and somehow her recent singles/albums flopping doesn't matter because of said wealth. If she truly didn't care about awards or making music to win awards, then why does she still keep submitting her work to award shows? She could just as easily pull a Frank Ocean and simply release music for artistic reasons instead of commercial or awards success. Or why did she bother to release the painfully retread 90's era R&B power ballad for The Lion King other than to win an Oscar? She might be filthy rich, but she definitely wants awards success. And if you think her releases from this decade like Spirit, Hold Up, XO, Love on Top, Run the World etc that failed to crack the top 15 are because they aren't radio friendly, take a look at what songs have hit number 1 this year: 7 Rings, Old Town Road, Bad Guy, Truth Hurts, Sucker, etc. A trap song where Ariana Grande flexes her wealth set to the beat of My Favorite Things, a rap-country hybrid song that makes no sense whatsoever, a song whisper sung by an angsty 17 year old teen about seducing dads, a meme song about body positivity that somehow feels like each lyric is designed to be an Instagram caption, and a FUCKING Jonas Brothers song in 2019 all hit number 1. So no, the problem isn't Beyonce releasing non radio friendly music; it's that people have moved on and she doesn't seem to realize it just yet.

R32 you're right. She can sing. So she's a good dancer and a competent singer who is pretty. And that is it.

She's so boring, her music sucks and she's getting old. She'll be 40 soon, a death sentence for pop stars.

[quote]Queen of Pillow Babies

I had actually forgotten all about that!

R36 That isn't dancing, it is the very definition of hairography

Gaga, nor her team, ever flipped-off an awards show when they lost for ASIB. She lost several awards for that movie and always conducted herself with style and grace. Beyonce could learn a thing or two from Gaga.

OMG R38, now I LOVE Bey for the sheer audacity to pull that stunt.

[Quote] Everything Beyonce does, Rihanna does better.

I guess this means no makeup or lingerie line from Bey in the future.

I liked it when she lost Album of the Year to Beck. It is fine if she keeps getting nominated for shit because it's funny when she loses.

[quote] All I know is, when it came out it was made very, very, very light of, hardly discussed or brought up, and forgotten

Oh, stop under-exaggerating. How, transparent! You hate her and can't be impartial. We know.

It was spoken about when it came out, unless you didn't bother to read the internet at all that week but it was, you are right, quickly forgotten but only because people HAD ALREADY SEEN THE CONCERT WHEN COACHELLA AIRED LIVE ONLINE!

It was mostly the same damn thing. The original concert still hasn't been forgotten.

[quote]Yes, because Beyonce's, "Team," is going to do something she doesn't authorize.

Oh, please. They likely did it and didn't bother to ask her because they knew she wouldn't give a damn.

Although many of her fans thought it was gross.

And yes, it terrible that it lost to a camera mounted on a dashboard in car with two people singing karaoke. It doesn't matter whether you like her or not, it's just doesn't make sense that anything else didn't win.

Glad to know I'm not the only person in America who's not in awe of her. She's pretty, and she can sing, but all the strutting is boring to me.

R44 Oh, stop over-exaggerating. How, transparent! You love her and can't be impartial. We know.

[quote]Oh, please. They likely did it and didn't bother to ask her because they knew she wouldn't give a damn.

And you're unaware you basically just reiterated the point.

[quote]I can't friggin believe it didn't even get honorable mention

What do you think being nominated means?

The photo at R43 make her nosejob real obvious.

I want to see FakeOnce accepting an award like this...

Bwahahahahaha. Stupid bitch!

Beyonce's is just boring. She can sing okay. I liked her a bit in the early 00's. Give me Gaga, RiRi, or Pink these days. They all aged better.

R12 thinks the team emergency texted Beyonce to clear the flip-off before doing it.

Lord knows it could never have been a heat of the moment kind of thing.

I thought Homecoming was just a concert movie? I didn't watch the whole thing but I didn't see any documentary part of it.

R53 Exactly!

She wasn't even the most interesting member of Destiny's Child.

Keepin' it trashy.

R52 is too dense to u dersrand that wasnt what was said at all.

But she tried it!

At least they didn't pull out guns and start shooting the place up.

I'm on this, kids.

I honestly don't know what she sings but she is overexposed and why does she have a "team"? As far as I can see, she appears to be miminally talented and I don't understand this odd pedastal she's been put on as if she's some deity.

[quote]She wasn’t there.

How dare people assume that she would be associating with the lowly "help".

Beyoncé is over.

I’m looking forward to the Slate/Salon/Guardian/DailyBeast/etc. articles written by twentysomething Ivy League grads decrying problematicism.

I'm not familiar with any of her work post, "Baby Boy..."

Does she still sing with marbles in her mouth?

Be-yawn-ce is lucky she's married to Jay-z. She'd be performing the State Fair circuit otherwise.

Well at least Kanye wasn't involved.

R60 are you an eldergay? I am not a Beyonce mega fan by any stretch of the imagination but I like her music and I've seen her in concert live and she is definitely incredibly talented. Plus unlike a lot of stars these days, she WORKS.

I think she’s jealous of Lady Gaga’s recent Oscar exposure and is annoyed that she didn’t even get lesser award. Oh, and Lady Gaga gets to fondle Bradley, while B has to settle for that guy with the ugly face.

[quote] Everything Beyonce does, Rihanna does better.

That is true. Rihanna fucks a whole lot better too

[Quote] I think she’s jealous of Lady Gaga’s recent Oscar exposure and is annoyed that she didn’t even get lesser award.

I can't really blame her. She was originally supposed to be in A Star Is Born with Clint Eastwood directing though it would've been terrible.

Rihanna is sexier, cooler and a better actress.

Beyonce is a Queen because she's so original!!!

[quote]why does she have a "team"?

Stop playing dumb. Every celebrity has a team.

Yes, every celebrity has a team, and every celebrity with a team, especially one of Beyonce's caliber, has a team that isn't going to behave in any manner that their celebrity wouldn't approve of.

It's well known that she isn't very educated and writes and texts like a 5 year old.

Without the make-up, proper camera angles, and filters, she's not even pretty. She's a ghetto hood rat and sounds like one too.

R37 Beyoncé is well past 40 now. She fudged her age a while back and her aging has already been catching up with her. She’s a robotic snooze to me.

Classy! s/

Fuck that cunt and the cunts that "stan" her. You don't resort to vulgarities because you didn't win a meaningless trophy. This is the classless kind of bullshit that has rendered her second-tier. How many other A-listers, or their teams, do you see acting like baseless pieces of shit because they, or their cash cow, didn't win an award?

The Emmy's were proven correct in shutting her out as proven by her team's response.

[quote]It's well known that she isn't very educated and writes and texts like a 5 year old.

She talks like one too.

She’s not a hood rat. She did not grow up in the hood.

[quote] —The fish stinks from the head down.

Plus, I heard that her breath stinks, too!

R79 reminds me of when Beyonce tried desperately to remove unflattering photos of her from the internet right after that concert where she made those scary faces as shown in your photo. Her lawyers were going after people. Pathetic.

Did she take one for the team? Haw haw haw haw haw.

R83 There's a lot of things about her and her drug dealer husband that have been scrubbed from the internet and most people's memories.

R38 I love how her stomach collapses on itself in that gif.

How far along was she? I've never seen a pregnant woman sit down like that.

That collapsing stomach gif is courtesy of when she appeared on an Australian show, right? She probably figured it wouldn't go worldwide like a lot of idiot celebrities who think they can do or say something on an foreign show and not have it get back to their own country.

[quote]Fuck that cunt and the cunts that "stan" her. You don't resort to vulgarities because you didn't win a meaningless trophy.

Jesus, I hope this is meant to be parody.

Datalounge regulars who routinely see (and use) racist and homophobic slurs have somehow become so upset by the thought of a middle finger that they are hyperventilating and passing out en masse.

You weren't paying attention!

[quote]they are hyperventilating and passing out en masse.

Let me get you some smelling salts.

ROFL at the picture at R79!!!!

Her true face is showing!!!! Bwahahahahaha

Some of you are so pressed

And some are pressed much more than others!

Was this "baby" number one, two, or three?

[quote]Some of you are so pressed

Like a button or like a pair of pants?

What kind of deranged freak fakes a pregnancy?

And WHY???

There is this other clip that I remember of her being interviewed by someone, I can't remember who it was. The interviewer reaches out to touch Beyonce's pregnancy pillow and Beyonce quickly moves her hand away.

She was photographed in a bikini while pregnant so she obviously was.

The rumors about Katie Holmes's fake pregnancy bump were that someone (Tom, probably) wanted to throw the press off as to when the baby had been born. Maybe the same thing happened here. I sure don't remember hysterical screaming about Katie being evil incarnate because of it.

[quote]She was photographed in a bikini while pregnant so she obviously was.

You mean this photo of her burrito baby where her "bump" was significantly smaller than it was the week prior at the VMAs?

I had forgotten that she stunted her baby announcement.

That doc was lame af. It was so overhyped and it was meh at best.

[quote]She’s not a hood rat. She did not grow up in the hood.

The person you're talking to is off on a racebait thread saying all blacks are criminals. He's filth, just ignore him.

Her stans should be shot. They think that everyone should be licking the dried fecal matter from her ass crack like they do.

R102 Keep making shit up, toots.

I recall that when Jennifer Hudson was nominated for an Oscar and Beyoncé wasn’t, her team cried racism.

[quote]And you're unaware you basically just reiterated the point.

And R47 you're unaware there's a difference between them "asking her" if it was okay and them assuming she wouldn't have a problem?

"Well, she CAN sing"

She does melisma, runs and scales. It's fine for what she does (Vegas-type extravaganzas) but her voice has an unpleasant tone to it. No one's going to curl-up and listen to her sing a ballad or torch song.

She's better blending with other voices.

Racist and homophobic slurs, R88? Where?

Go back to your fainting sofa, Martha.

R34 I feel the same way about JLO

R106, no one said they, "asked," hon. Do try to keep up.

Beyonce's team works for Beyonce... they do what she wants and how she wants. They aren't going to do anything she wouldn't want them to do and that's all you need to know about Beyonce.

[Quote] I recall that when Jennifer Hudson was nominated for an Oscar and Beyoncé wasn’t, her team cried racism.

Are you serious??

Without a doubt, "Bootylicous" was the high point of her career - classic.

Beyonce actually has a shrill and annoying singing voice.

I agree, R114.

Her voice is very shrill, and if I ever hear a song of hers, I instantly shut it off because it is that offensive to me.

R113 Such a feminist

R110 / R9 Do you actually know the meaning of the word "authorized," sweetie?

Did she give them, "official permission for or approval to" do it?

Or did they assume that they could do it?

It was more than likely the later and not the former. That's the point that you're so clearly ignoring.

R114 I agree. I think her voice is shrill. She has a reasonable amount of talent and has the some of the best production people to make her better than she is. The rest is hype. The reaction by here team is juvenile and entitled. Fuck them.

Has Jada commented yet? You know the C-list actress with the very heterosexual husband and son.

Has Susan Dey commented yet?

When will this fucking bitch just GO AWAY??

She is so high-maintenance, and the way that everyone just kisses her ass, is sickening.

I hated her from the moment that I learned she INSISTED on always being in the middle of Destiny's Child.

Her parents must have spoiled the fuck out of her, and I wonder what her sister Solange has to say about it. She must have been majorly shafted by her parents, in favor of the QUEEN.

Someone needs to knock this twat (and her minions) off of their high fucking horse.

R121 The Beyhive are very very very very very annoying.

I’m team Basement Baby.

[Quote] Her parents must have spoiled the fuck out of her, and I wonder what her sister Solange has to say about it.

I'd rather hear about what happened on the elevator.

R117 is still trying it...

And still doesn't get it.

They don't do anything they're not told they can't do, Jabs.

Someone should probably look up the definition of, "authorized," again.

Her team may work for her but they are people with free will to make bad choices. They did here.

She will always be trash. Sorry folks. To have part of Lenox Hill hospital renovated for her to have her baby in was one of the most low class things I’d ever heard of. The skank should do something worthwhile with her money.... and quietly so no one knows about it.

So the alternative is that she's just an incredibly stupid person who hires people who don't behave professionally and not in her best interest.

That works!

I forgot that she did that, R128. Jesus, these people really do have some weird self-importance.

Her interviews are beyond embarrassing. She struggles to find the simplest words to express her thoughts. All she is good at is following directions from Jay Z and her mother.

She’s a star.

R132 star NOT!

I never understood why Beyoncé is such a big deal. Of all the girl's in Destiny's Child, Michelle Williams was the best looking AND had the best voice, so why didn't she get the big career?

R134 Because Michelle was only ever there as a body to put the third outfit on.

delighted the voters saw her as a narcissistic creep....!!!!!!!

trust me, people that know her well, are flabbergasted (look the word up, bey) that she is so durn dumb.....

R128 and caused a security lockdown so other people couldn’t visit their newborn family members.

Fuck that bitch.

R134 for me that would be Kelly. Poor girl got screwed over by Bey's dad.

Kelly is not prettier nor more talented. Listen to her live.

Michelle is awful. She barely had solos because she can’t sing.

R140 agree to disagree.

Lizzo is sooo much better than Beyoncé!

R142 Let's not go overboard. I am by no means a fan of Beyonce or her god complex but she IS a superior talent than lizzo.

Beyonce is mega-dumb. The woman has difficulty coming up with coherent expressions.

She's a Weiner.

Kelly is slimmer and more chic than Beyonce.

Thirsty queens are just jelly. Oh, and she committed a grievous DL sin when she said “I could care less” in Single Ladies. Every reaching queen on DL writhed in horror, knowing it’s supposed to be “couldn’t.”

Her music special was brilliant, showcasing how she brought HBCU culture to Coachella as well as intermixing commentary from civil rights and feminist movements. I've always said that Queen bey's music has the large black big band sound that the southern universities love.

Lately I feel like Queen Bey is anomaly to white people. They can't quite get her. She's been branding this pro black message but she isn't drapped in head wraps, or dreads like Lauryn Hill. They've never seen a popstar of her magnitude partake in social activism that isn't about a world event but rather more particular to American blackness, and she isn't bohemian like say an Erykah badu or India Arie. She's rocking a long blonde weave while telling black women to get information with their black fellas. She's repping black culture, with its materialism and all, while also shining light on racial injustice and police brutality. She's a puzzle they can't figure out.

Beyoncé can’t figure herself out.

R149 isn't that Jay-Zs job??
