Superbowl on the big screen at work - in that particular room it's for display only, no sound - people were saying how they wish they could hear it - I said, oh yeah? my hand / wrist was small enough to reach between the TV and wall indent and reach the volume - I jacked it up big time

I've seen her twice now and both times were amazing, but this time about 70k fans sang every word with her. The energy was awesome!

And she was so sweet to the audience. Now, granted it was her hometown, but her gratitude was heartwarming.

i suspect its partly gender, partly race, and partly that she is popular. and age.

some people have to ONLY like things that are obscure.

I love art and performing, so even if I don't like a particular genre, I can still appreciate the process.

And then, of course, there are those who feel threatened by the concept a powerful woman.

making statements about artists

i for instance very rarely like male singers, but i acknowledge this is my limitation of taste, not a objective barometer of a male singers ability.

called Lemonade. It's an artistic piece that tells the story of her husband's infidelity and the gamut of emotion she experienced between suspicion and reconciliation. It's quite an amazing project that was a surprise release immediately preceding her tour, so getting tickets was unexpected and exciting!

Because we all know that the CIA controls Viacom and funds Beyonce to put out anti police propaganda in an effort to jail as many citizens as possible and for the government to take over local police! /Infowars

Sorry, not a fan. Think she's ok, but just like the rest of the pop divas.



Hope you had fun.

Parking was $30 at the stadium, which I was not expecting since the last time I went there, parking was $20 (it's been a while.)
