Tell Me How It's Looking Babe
Wow butthurt much? Target competitor Walmart is certainly selling the album though! The ever classy Beyonce addressed Target by simply making a trip to Walmart in Boston and doing some shopping the day her album hit stores. She even got in the intercom to announce to the shoppers that she would giving out free $50 gift cards to everyone in the store. She posted endless pictures on both her Tumblr and Instagram. Damn Bey, you just had to rub it in their faces didn't you? lol!
Moving on, I made a trip to Walmart last night to get the album and I got really discouraged when all of the slots where her album was supposed to be were empty. I had to do a little searching before I was able to grab one of the last three CDs in a different aisle. We opened it in the car and I was already a bit taken back by the CD cover.
So we started listening to it in the car and he first three songs were not of any interest to me at all. Honestly, I was bored. So far, my favorite songs are XO, Partition (which contains includes 'Yonce' in the beginning), Flawless (which includes Bow Down in the beginning) and my all time favorite, Drunk in Love. The CD is okay at most. I, and I'm sure a lot of other people as well, are used to not only listening to Beyonce's faster music but prefer it as well. When I listen to Beyonce, I want to get up and dance. They aren't any of those tracks on this album. Yonce and Bow Down are the only songs that are upbeat but you can't really dance to them. They are more like attitude songs like songs that you listen to when you feel really confident and want to flip your weave at a hater. lol hey don't judge me, people actually feel that way!
I haven't gotten around to watching the music videos, which are included on a DVD in the case, but I can't wait to!

BEYONCE!
Okay okay, let me back up. As a surprise to everyone, Beyonce has not only been recording an album but also shooting music videos in secret all while being on tour! And then to top it all off, she released her album and videos on iTunes in the middle of the night on Thursday without telling anyone at all! This album, affectionately titled Beyonce, features 14 songs and came with 17 music videos. Beyonce's fifth album features people like Frank Ocean, Jay-Z and my husband Drake! She even has a song titled "Blue" featuring her daughter Blue Ivy.
Beyonce calls her new piece of work a visual album. Beyonce released this statement regarding her album, "I see music. It's more than just what I hear. When I’m connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion, a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies. And they're all connected to the music. I miss that experience. Now people only listen to a few seconds of song on the iPods and they don't really invest in the whole experience. It's all about the single, and the hype. It's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn’t want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it’s ready and from me to my fans." Okay Beyonce you did it. You shocked the world and nearly sent me to the hospital after suffering from that heart attack!
Any who, the album is currently being sold only on iTunes until the 20th. The hard copy CDs will hit stores on the 21st and I will most definitely be there so get one!

Things Beyonce Would Rather Do Than Release An Album
She's been slaying your favs since 1996, and that's a fact. I'm convinced that she's enjoying torturing us by releasing singles and yet still manages to keep completely silent on any details of the new album. She's even been performing those singles on her current Mrs. Carter World Tour. Thanks a lot Beyoncé. -_- That only makes us want it more! And the worst part is that Beyonce is clearly having WAY too much fun on tour doing things that do not in slightest bit coincide with recording or releasing a new album!
Things such as:
- Wearing shades indoors
- Looking like she's going to beat some random guy's ass
- Trying on Batman masks
- Taking Beyonce shots
- Cutting her hair to distract us from the lack of a new album
- Taking pictures with ice cream trucks
- Being blessed
- Teaching Blue Ivy to twerk
- Bending space and time
- Taking mock Instagram photos while her back up dancer wears a tiara
- Lying on the stairs thinking about how much longer she'll make us wait
- Lying in the grass contemplating how thirsty we are for the new album
- Taking a nice leisurely stroll on the wings of a plane
In the meantime... *dances around to "Grown Woman"*

Snatching Bey
So about a month ago, Beyonce was onstage in Sao Paulo, Brazil when a crazed fan, shirtless might I add, attempted and nearly proceeded to pulled Beyonce offstage. The fan rushed up to the stage and threw his arms around Beyonce, practically pulling her downwards almost headfirst into the crowd! However, her security personnel was on point with the rescue. They leaped on stage and was able to release Bey from the evil clutches of her kidnapper! I have no idea why I just worded it like that lol I need a life!
Ever the professional, the Beyonce is able to break free and keep on singing, without missing a lyric. Strangely, Bey came to the crazed fan's defense and allowed him to stay in the arena. Check out the pics below! A video link is also included because Blogger is being stupid and won't let me insert the video directly! -__-

I live for the FLOPPLAUSE!
In a not-so-subtle attempt to boost video views and increase sales, Lady Gaga offered her fans rewards for multiple views or iTunes downloads of Applause.
Gaga even tried to scam the charts by tweeting a link to a playlist with about 9 hours of her Applause on repeat:
Billboard now accepts YouTube and Vevo views for their charts. Gaga tried as hard as she could to climb up the charts by using YouTube views. She basically just offered her fans the opportunity to view her video 150 times with that one link. She tweeted the link to her Little Monsters and asked them to pass it on which basically enables them to play the playlist on a tab, put it on silent, leave the computer, and do whatever they choose while still inflating the number of views of her Vevo page, which will help her chart higher on Billboard’s Hot 100 next week.
Billboard's editorial director, Bill Werde found out about the scam and had some words for her. Of course he didn't have the actual balls to say it @ Gaga but he still tweeted it.

The Conjuring
So me and a friend of mine watched The Conjuring the other night and it really wasn't all that scary. I'd seen the previews before it was released and I thought it looked pretty boring. I like scary movies but I really wasn't feeling it so I decided to pass.
I will say though that because we watched it late at night with the lights off, I was a little freaked out. I didn't want to make the walk back to my room so we both cuddled up on my friend's twin sized bed and went to sleep.
Overall rating: 5 out of 10

Amanda Bynes' Fall From Grace
I don't know about you but I used to LOVE Amanda Bynes! Like she was so young and pretty and natural looking and she was funny. I loved her on All That, The Amanda Show, She's The Man and What I Like About You. Her and Lindsay Lohan were my favorite child stars and now they've fallen into the typical child star syndrome. Some people are speculating that she's on drugs and honestly it wouldn't surprise me in the least. I mean look at her!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
She doesn't even look like the same person anymore! She tweeted that she apparently wanted to look like Blac Chyna, the former stripper-turned-rap-star-baby momma.
I mean she's pretty and all but why would anyone aspire to look like, act like or be like a stripper?!
She seems to be suffering from some sort of mental breakdown though she swears she's perfectly fine and drug free. A few months ago, Bynes set her dog on fire on a stranger's driveway. She eventually found her way to a liquor store to wash the dog off. Her pants leg was also inflamed.
Now, apart from the animal cruelty, I thought this was hilarious! What the hell is she doing with a small dog and a gasoline container in some random person's driveway?! Whatever she was doing clearly went wrong but what exactly was she trying to do?
Bynes is currently in a psych ward in Los Angeles but it's rumored that she is negotiating a record deal. Amanda Bynes in a recording studio? I don't really see it but ummm I guess there's something for everyone.
I could go on forever about how crazy Amanda Bynes is but then again, I don't have the time nor the patience. *sighs* Oh well, I guess we're all witnessing yet another child star transition into a psycho.

Robin Thicke Hates These Blurred Lines
"If you can't hear what I'm trying to say / If you can't read from the same page / Maybe I'm going deaf / Maybe I'm going blind / Maybe I'm out of my mind"
I hate these blurred lines / I know you want it / I know you want it / I know you want it
Robin hates when girls act like they don’t want him even when he knows for sure that they do. Which is pretty cocky and chauvinistic if you ask me.
His reference to “blurred lines” takes in many different meanings. It can refer to girls being interested in rough, dirty sex but having to maintain the good girl image. Hence, the lines between the good girl and the bad girl.
“Blurred lines” can also refer to the moral ambiguity of flirting with a girl Thicke knows isn’t single. Even if she’s in a committed relationship she’s a “wild animal” with independent thoughts, and thus her boyfriend doesn’t own her.
Many critics have complained that the song is degrading to women and I agree. It's not what he says directly, it's what he implies. Just because a woman acts like she wants you doesn't mean you have the right to take her. Say it with me Robin, CONSENSUAL SEX IS THE BEST SEX!

Face.Palm!
I hate when people say that! Like wtf is "real music"? The way I see it, there's only two types of music, music you like and music you don't. There is no such thing as real music or fake music! You don't have to like it, you don't even have to listen to it but you do have to respect the fact that nobody gives a damn about your shitty ass opinion!
