@anna Her performances are fine, people need to stop expected young singers to

always coochie pop. I’m sure she will get a choreographer to help with a couple

routines on tour. But I nonly hear black folks talk about her performances. No offence

to anyone. Taylor Swift doesn’t get shit for not dancing, nor does miley cyrus. I guess

if you black you nheed to dance for some odd reason. Everyone isn’t beyawnce. She

just needs to incorporate more special effects in her show. I know I love U2 and they

never dance, so what the fuck????

@Another thing, besides beyawnce, who do the black folks say can give a

performance. Think about it CB, cause he can dance. and usher. No females get

credit by blacks except bey. Think about it. All the great black singers and only one

is said to be able to perform. Alicia doesn’t dance she gives a good performance.

She gets no credit though.

Rihanna’s getting better at her performances and will only continue!! She dont need a bunch of dancing just get her head into the songs more and reallly give her all. in the past she seemed bored on stage, but now she seems more alive and into it.

she should look at madonna. she really wasn’t a “dancer” but she did dance and she made her shows something to see.

Congrats on being #1 on 106 & Park, RihRih!!!!! And I thought BET didn’t like her? LMAO!!!

@mimi That pic is great.

@woah Cher is a huge performer, she doesn’t dance, neither does celine dion. I

know those women are dancing, but its all about the stage show. Riri has to get a

great stage manager to put on a great show. I’ve seen her concerts, she’s great now.

I feel she will get better. But the folks who are bey fans will never give her credit, no

matter how well she does. They’re just like her. They can’t stand anyone sharing

spotlight with her. Bey could change that by embracing her competitors. but she

chooses to make everything a quest for some mythic crown.

@david Beyawnce and her fans will never let anyone share the spotlight. Its such

dysfunctional thinking. There can be only one?? Why?? Its so stupid, and it

damages artists who attempt to shine in that community. Madona, gaga, christina,

pink, miley, brit brit, all can share the spotlight. But in the other community it can

only be bey. Her fans and the black blogs actively destroyed ciara’s last album. Keri

is getting shade that she’s not really 27 she’s 32. Alicia is being called a

homewrecker. On and on and on. Its pathetic and dumb!! But they not taking riri
