Summer concert tour tickets topping seventy bucks have former Beyonce fans, like music critic Kevin C. Johnson, demanding R&B’s reigning diva take a break from the biz.
According to Kev:
Best of Beyoncé • Her exquisite performance of “Dangerously in Love” at the 2004 Grammy Awards culminated in a white dove landing perfectly in her open palm.
• The irresistible “Irreplaceable” was a deserved female anthem, even though it was written by a man.
• The “Mahogany”-inspired photo shoot sequence from “Dreamgirls” presented Beyoncé at her most dazzlingly glammed-out — if you don’t count the covers of her “Dangerously in Love” and “B’Day” CDs.
• The pipin’ hot “Crazy in Love” single and its energetic video served as the perfect entry point for her “Dangerously in Love” CD.
• Watching her dance in videos such as “Baby Boy,” “Get Me Bodied” and “Déjà vu” can be mesmerizing, even if the latter prompted some fans — who failed to “get” her Josephine Baker-inspired dance moves — to start a petition for a reshoot.
Worst of Beyoncé• She thought that whatever she was doing in “Dreamgirls” would land her an Oscar nomination and allowed an unknown “American Idol” reject to steal her thunder.
• She bypassed proper channels in rerecording Des’ree’s “Kissing You” as “Still in Love (Kissing You),” resulting in a lawsuit and the pulling of the deluxe edition of the “B’Day” CD and accompanying DVD off the shelves.
• “Ring the Alarm,” the second single from “B’Day,” was a screeching mess.
• The whole Destiny’s Child fiasco, in which various members were swapped in and out of the group — and during its heyday, of all times.
• Beyoncé’s interviews mostly consist of little more than words like “amazing,” and she’s painfully unequipped when the questions aren’t the usual softballs.
That was a kickass article. What do I do now?

I’m not exactly tired of Bey however she could humble herself just a bit. Everytime she discusses what she’s working on relative 2 her CD or video shoots it “appears” she tries 2 present herself as someone who is “changing the game”. All of the “hard work” she puts N2 her music & N a short amt of time she claims is “unheard of”. Correction Bey, it’s very heard of. Go call Janet, Prince, Michael, Madonna,…hell anybody that’s been out here longer than U. She lays “claim” 2 things she hasn’t done & that’s where I have 2 back up. She’s turning out 2 B a bit overrated.

umm im more tired of the beyonce bashing, honestly. I mean if you are tired of beyonce keep it to yourself. Why is this news? Are we so obsessed with celebrity culture (or just obsessed with beyonce) that we have nothing talk about but “im tired of beyonce”? How about talking about how overrated J.Hud is? I mean, BET best new artist? Over Lupe? RU SERIOUS? Did she even put out any music?
