I watched the Beyonce interview with Oprah as well as the HBO special yesterday
Initially i was torn between feeling disappointed that it still felt scripted and guarded as typical B....but i also respect that there is a line between her personal and professional life
In one breath i feel entertainers/celebs give too much of themselves but i wont deny that i read People and US Weekly magazine
Is it the fascination with how the other half lives.... is it wanting people who seem to live the unimaginable unattainable lives to be normal..to feel and hurt and experience some things like us "regular" folks???
Beyonce said she hurts and feels just like everyone else and having all the money in the world doesn't change that
Do we want her to be the girl next door in love with a mogul...is that what we want?
I can't say i was a full time B hater as i do have all her albums and funny because i am more a B fan then i was Destinys Child.....
There were some takeaways that i got from both special
She still controls what we know and see about her and her life...which is how she stays stable and normal vs.... well others....she wants the focus to be on her voice her work her albums and not what her kid is wearing
Beyonce Knowles Carter LOVES her man...i must say i was very much awed at her love of her man..it runs so deep...they have a good 11 years under the belt their foundation is strong and it shows and it makes sense..to be in the arenas they are in.....but she is quick to credit being the woman she is because she goes home to him each day....that is just heavy
Men can be haters and say Jay Z isnt attractive or Beyonce is artificial but WHY... why do we have to dissect everyone... what if that was done to us....what if someone questioned or hypothesised as to why we are with our mates....how cruel....they are not together for show...their love runs deep...i took that away...it was so rare to get such an intimate look into their marriage and their love...its so real...so pure.....thats the kind of love that we read about and we all want....they are friends they are lovers....they are each others support.....
Whether B gets lighter or we feel she is selling out or changing the one thing that will make me support B now and going forth is she is all about the girl power....she may grind a lot when she dances but who doesnt....b is all about girl power and her songs are empowering so next time she comes on the radio i will turn it up because she is working this industry she is iconic... she is humble..she is human...she is woman.......
