Beyoncé At The Grammys: Everything Okay With Jay-Z There, B?

Um, how are things in the Beyoncé-Jay-Z household? Because I was getting some anger tonight. Winner for “Single Ladies” when she’s already got the ring, Beyoncé was also nominated for “Halo,” a song about just how much a woman loves her awesome wonderful heavenly godly fabulous man. And by all accounts, Jay-Z is pretty cool. But B got up there and not only sang “If I Were A Boy” — harshly, with an edge, adding a “YEAH RIGHT!” — but then launched into the ne plus ultra of hell-hath-no-fury songs, “You Oughta Know” by Alanis. “Another version of me, Mr. Duplicity?” she spat out, and though Jay-Z was applauding like mad at the end, actually looking a little geeky and pencil-necked in his tux, one couldn’t help why, exactly, Sasha was feeling so fierce. Either way, it made for some smokin’ entertainment. Clip from the performance below.

p.s. I swear I have nothing against Beyoncé, despite my online hounding of her earlier this month.

So much hair theatrics.

Does anyone else share my view that Beyoncé is not the great talent so many would have us believe. Beyoncé has some talent, to be sure. But, she seems to have a limited range and style. She reminds me somewhat of Tammy Wynette. We always know what is going to come next.

exactly.. I wonder why she got these attentions… she’s always doing the same thing again and again.. I have respect for people who try to sing different songs like Christina Aguilera.. she deserves more than recognition of any popstar of today.. she has the vocals and she can sing different music genre
