Grammys Open Post: Hosted by Queen Beyonce’s world domination

Ah, Beyonce. I’m disappointed! But I’m disappointed because the rumor mill was working overtime last week, with multiple sources claiming that FLOTUS Michelle Obama had scored her second Vogue cover, the March “Power Issue”. Considering Anna Wintour is so tight with the Obamas (Wintour was one of Obama’s top bundlers/fundraisers), I really was expecting to see a cover full of first lady bangs. But instead I get Beyonce! Just as well. If I had a Vogue cover full of bangs, I wouldn’t know what to say about it.

So Beyonce covers the March “Power Issue” it seems. I guess it’s not completely 100% – this wasn’t leaked by Vogue or anything, and God knows, it could be Photoshopped, although I don’t think it is. I think Bey is just continuing on her path of total world and media domination. Allegedly, Beyonce will be at tonight’s Grammys. Remember when everybody thought she would be at last year’s Grammys too? She and Jay-Z released Blue Ivy’s first photos and everybody was expecting them to show up but they never came. Probably because Bey knew she’d be losing big-time to Adele. Speaking of, Adele is going to be there too, allegedly. You know Beyonce and Adele are sort of close, right? Adele has said that they’ve met several times and she (Adele) loves Bey.

So, will Beyonce be able to achieve complete Grammy domination if people like Rihanna, Adele, Taylor Swift and The Black Keys are around? Oooh, I had forgotten about The Black Keys. They’re my favorite!!! Anyway, this is your Open Post to discuss all things Grammys. We’ll have lots of coverage tomorrow, in addition to lots of BAFTA coverage too.

    World domination is right, though I think that’s just how music changed over the years. If you don’t have a side source of income these days you’re not dominating. Same way everyone has a perfume, its just about extra income and branding. The bigger the brand the more of the music world and general culture you dominate.

    Beyonce just tries to be ahead of everyone and I think what little ground she lost while pregnant (ironic) is what is pushing her to act like she runs it all.

      Due to your post,I think I figured out why singers like Beyonce,Taylor Swift etc.. grate on my nerves….these artists have lost touch with what their craft is all about and that is music. I am so tired of the Kardashian culture where everything is about PR and branding and being connected to every product known to mankind. With these artists,it is all about the money and fame and less about the music.

        I agree, Garvels. For years it’s been a given that an artist’s image & looks are a big part of their career, but now it seems like it’s practically the ONLY thing. And most of the time when you read people’s opinions about an artist on a site like this or any entertainment site, the majority of opinions are based on what people perceive of the artist’s personal life and/or “brand”, not what they think of their music or their work (this applies to actors as well as music artists, I think). It’s sad.

    I hope that Frank Ocean wins everything that he is nominated for, especially anything that is up against Fist Clown!

    Beyonce has always seemed weak to me. Boring and weak. A vain, bleh person.

    OMG and that superbowl performance! ARGH shes always swinging her weave up and down and around like a lunatic.
    What was with that? When Jay Z told her she needed to Swing to win over the power players in Hollywood I think she got a lil confused…

      @Ronnie, who wrote: ” ARGH shes always swinging her weave up and down and around like a lunatic.”

      Tina Turner and the Ikettes did that for years and no one complained. Tina and the girls shook and swung their hair/weaves/wigs ‘and’ their butts and gyrated their way around the stage, in short dresses up to their assets, no less … no one said boo.

    I can’t get over what they did with her mouth. This is just another underwhelming Vogue cover. I can’t recall the last time vogue has had an interesting cover subject (besides Meryl) it’s always a bunch of self absorbed, milquetoast starlets with nothing outstanding or inspirational about them. I can’t wait until Wintours reign of terror (boredom) is over. She’s so overrated. Plus, there is something very unlikable about beyonce. Oh and this woman claims she is 31? Righttttt.

    I think the claim Beyonce didn’t attend the Grammys last year because “she would lose big time to Adele” is false. If I remember correctly Beyonce either had no nominations or was in only r&b categories. They wouldn’t be head to head. Is Beyonce even nominated this year? Her last album came out a couple of years ago. So no she won’t be dominating this year.

    I can understand why Beyonce gets on a lot of people’s nerves. Personally, I am disappointed in her choice to wear leather and fur. She has a lot of money and access to other non-animal materials for her clothing. She is in a position to make a strong statement against it…but I guess she thinks it’s an acceptable practice to wear the fur and skin of other animals…

    That being said, I rather enjoy her music and voice. She reminds me of Diana Ross. I think my favourite song of Bey’s is “I Was Here”…the song has a lot of meaning in it and showcases her powerful voice. I also enjoyed her in Destiny’s Child and think she is an okay actress. And of course, she is a pretty lady.

    As for the Grammy’s – well, I applaud the memo to performers and presenters about having to dress modestly. I am so tired of people dressing like trash/whores at award shows. I think it is an occasion for one to dress as nice as possible, as a show of respect for the awards.

    I just watched the opening act and monologue of LL Cool J…I think Taylor Swift is adorable, but honestly, her voice/presence is not strong enough for her to be the opening act. It made me wish that they could have revived Michael Jackson (80s era MJ) to open the show and had a photo of Taylor, instead of vise versa! MJ’s 1988 performance was beyond amazing! Here’s hoping the rest of the show is decent…

      Bey is on my last nerve, but I think she is very talented and drven. And one of my favorite songs is I Was Here of hers also. She performed all those songs off 4 exellently in promotions. I wouldn’t compare her to Diana Ross, though.

      I agree with everything you said. I think Beyonce has potential that she isn’t tapping into. She could be much more–and I don’t mean MOAR weaves! or MOAR fierce! –but more “substance.” To do that she needs to get over herself and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anytime soon.

    Miranda’s dress is not flattering on her from the waist down. The dress is too short and tight for her hips and legs. But she has such a pretty face and never heavily caked-on makeup like Carrie Underwood.

    I think Wiz Khalifa is a way better match for Amber Rose than Kanye West. She seems happy and alive and so loved, with Kanye she seemed devoid of life and personality and that’s obviously not her natural state of being. Wiz looks like a doting partner and father to be, I kind of love him.

      It’s true. Artists have no choice but to play into EDM (electronic dance music) if they want to stay relevant. I don’t listen to the radio but I turned it to the hip hop station the other day and they were playing Swedish House Mafia.

        I agree. I’m not going to be a Chris Brown stan any time in this lifetime after what he did but I was surprised to see him openly state that. I’d be surprised to see any mainstream artists say something like that but especially the terminally immature Chris Brown.

    I can’t decide how I feel about Beyonce. While I do think she is beautiful and talented, I don’t really love her music and her voice gets on my nerves. She has a lot of good things going on but yet I feel she is kind of gimmicky as well.

    The turnaround time never made sense for Flotus to cover this issue, based on when the shoot took place. Her cover had to be at least two months out, issues are planned way in advance, and there’s no way they shoot a cover last minute like that.

    Mostly boring fashion on the red carpet, Kelly Rowland’s body is insane, & Rihanna looked really good as well, understated but pretty.

      Oh, I’ll admit it too :) . I tried for a long time to not like him, like I tried to not like George Clooney. Sigh, but they both won me over. For me it was JT’s HBO concert he did years ago. The new song is horrific! I’m not surprised though, he is only making this album to fulfill a contract. Not the best way to creatively motivate.
