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

by Rachel Sklar | 9:07 pm, January 31st, 2010

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.

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

MSNBC Jumps The Gun On Rep. Stupak’s Health Vote

by Drew Grant | 3:36 pm, Sunday

video

At 1 pm today, MSNBC was reporting that Democratic House member Bart Stupak was voting "yes" on the health care bill, via a chyron on the bottom of their screen, even as the hosts were saying he was "close to" a deal. C-Span repeated the same story. At 1:20 pm Stupak told reporters that he's still planning on voting no, but "getting there." So how did a major news org end up reporting otherwise?
