Beyonce Ruffles Feathers in Trinidad (what is her problem?)
Once again, Beyonce’s greed and insensitivity to local customs takes precedence over common good:
Residents of the island nation Trinidad and Tobago are up in arms over the scheduling of an upcoming Beyoncé concert. It is slated to take place just two days after Carnival, one of the country’s biggest cultural events.
Residents say the pop diva’s show will do nothing but take attention and funds away from the event, which brings considerable tourist money to the country. Beyoncé’s visit will cost an estimated £1 million, and many residents believe that money should go directly into Carnival.
“We have nothing against Beyoncé,” Trinidad local Gregory Fernandes told the Trinidad and Tobago Express. “We are just saying that it is insensitive to bring her at this time. It will affect all Carnival stakeholders because, you know, it’s not just a case of people forgoing fetes and shows to buy tickets.” Read More…

They can enjoy carnival and the concert…wats the problem
Is it me, or does she have on white granny panties or white boy shorts on with that outfit????
mirs you know how fast synthetic hair will singe! LOL
@ mirsmommy >> the ladies down here have taken lace fronts to whole other level…u cant go nowhere w/o seeing at least 3 to 4 bad lacefronts
They should take that up with the person that booked those dates.
Or maybe she’s just trying ot give the people a little something to wind down to?
Personally, I didn’t think she was doing any shows, anymore – I thought she said she was taking a break?
the chick sittin next to me at church had on one and i reached behind me and it got stuck in my wedding ring
This doesn’t even make sense. Her she is AFTER the carnival. So did they want her to do a show durning carnival.
GET IT BEY!

Don’t turn in J-lo. She dropped it and now she is a has been. (Sorry to the j lo stans but she aint got it no more & I was a fan).
Much success to Beyonce. Aint no chick in the game doing it like you. & I aint mad at cha.

OOOOO @Ms. Kay…I DO, I DO!!
She looks great, her hair will always be a mess though. I wonder why her and Jay won’t have children…
PS Hi everyone!
They need to get over it. I’m sure she didn’t schedule herself for that date, someone put it together.

You ain’t right Brown.
Mskayla i didn’t do anything
That’s the way life goes. People simply get fed up! Too much of something is bad. A clever person would retire while still the darling of the people. If I were B I would just stop trying to hog the spotlight, mentor some up and coming talent and chill. Start a family or something.
People are tired.
The bubble has burst.
Get the stepping.
Better to retire before people retire your azz.
Quitta I am dead serious
Beyonce is the cause of everything…..
She shouldn’t perform, make music, make a video, etc just nothing that will make everyone happy.
Her concert sold out over there in like a day so somebody wanted her there. You have to look were the money is going to find the root of the problem. The locals showed that wanted her there…
And she won’t get pregnant for Jay yet because she is not mentally ready to see hairy, hooved baby monsters in her uterus…I think

I’m sure the concert was empty so I don’t think she need or wants to retire for that matter. Despite the amount of awards or amount of money she has, i think she loves to perform.
Why she gotta go have babies bc WE want her too. Maybe she can’t have them. Never know

LOL where do i start? I’m 25 with no children and a super-complicated relationship with a man that seems to be everyone else’s (sorry if TMI). ummm I sell computer software for now since I got bored of advertising but looking to get into journalism or some other media-related field.

Age/Sex?Location. It’s primordial chat room lingo, that would instantly get you clowend on Black Voices.
Dayum i was joking but it’s nice of you to share and now you have just set yourself up
the last thing you should have dome on here was admit that you were with someone who cheats
Beyonce hasn’t had babies because the Illuminati hasn’t told her to yet…DUH! Do I have to teach ya’ll everything?
Found that out today so I’m a little heated but ur right silly of me to mention it.
Welcome @ Redbottoms. Sorry to hear about your cheating azz man.

I’m really starting to believe that. Everything adds up and they won’t address the matter. I mean if someone called me a devil-worshipper I would defend it if I’m not…
Thanks Ms. K, It’s been a strange few weeks but you knw what they say: whaterver’s in the dark must always come to light!
@RedBottom
It’s ok, just lay right here on my um couch and just let it all go! Feel free to vent! I just wanna help
I hope you boot his cheatin azz and do it like I did mine, if he has a key get the locks changed and don’t say anything and let him call you from outside askin what’s wrong with his key
I’m confused…she is taking money from them how?!!!
Damn…is this how they get publicity for the Carnival?!!! They need to hush
!!!
@ BROWNSUGAPOET Thanks
then block his numbers so he can’t call you with a sob story and try to get back in so that way you won’t even have to hear it
Oh yea @Nee…I forgot! As soon as she gets the ok she’ll pop out a litter of new creatures bent on conquering the world!!

LOL that is some ish! He’s packing as we speak! Thank goodness he is at least civil about it. Of course he’s giving me the “I’m sorry, I love u” but I know better.
Don’t fall for it Red!!! I’m off to class so yall have a good one
@RedBottom- I’m not sure if I would address it or not. Those are some harsh allegations but acknowledging them would open the floodgates for more and more questions regarding the issue, and people are still gonna believe whatever that want anyway and they can always put stuff together how they see fit. It seems like it would be an exhausting battle. but idk, maybe they do, maybe they don’t. I pray that they don’t though. Some people also say that Jay-Z is the antichrist but how many times have we heard that before…
You’re right, addressing it would definitelty open doors for more questions but I don’t think silence is golden in this case…
They already stated they are not mad at Beyonce, its the people who decided to bring her.
They count on people being sheeps, why address something that your die hard fans will not believe anyway. It keeps them mysterious because every move they make we are watching, protecting the brand.
@RedBottoms- idk, seems like a tough spot to be in….happy its not meeee!
@ RedBottoms
I wish you the best in your situation, BUT, did you whoop his a** first???? I mean, did you at least bust him upside the head with something? A golf club perhaps?
Just jokin, and tryin to make light out of a effed up situation.. 
Feel better. Sometimes the best therapy is to vent, regardless of the negativity that may come your way due to you venting. Have an e
for your troubles.
Okay, maybe I’m missing something BUT Bey is having a concert AFTER carnival and dey b*tching?! Some people stay in a permanent state of whining!!! Carnival is EVERY damn year Beyonce performing in Trinidad/Tobago is a special occurance. I say they adjust those sticks in their behinds and revel in her divaness and THE LOOT she’s going to generate for the island. ((( NEXT!!!!!! )))

Wow. That’s like our Mayor encouraging all the deaf ppl to move by our airport.
THE PATRONS PAID FOR THE TICKETS TO SEE HER, SO WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PROBLEM? SUPPLY AND DEMAND, SOMEONE DEMANDED HER, AND THE PROMOTERS SUPPLIED THEIR NEEDS.

Hello Ms.Redbottoms We are glad to have you. Welcome to WE HATE JUMP-OFFs Un-anonymous.
Everyone say hi to Red. Everyone: Hiiiiiii Red!
aaawww thanks mirsmommy ‘preciate it!
They’re bad because the country is not in a good place fiscally, and were already counting on people spending outside of their means for carnival (like so many crazy people here do for Christmas). Scheduling the concert so close to Carnival (read: within the same pay period) means that someone else is profitting off of their citizens impulse purhcases, lol
*mad
Please understand the facts before you JUMP DOWN THE THROATS of the promoter. The tickets for the concert cost $1600.00, the company TSTT who is subsidzing the concert at the tune of $500 0000.00 has decided to NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE CARNIVAL COMPETIONS( they are the sponsors of the prizes for the various carnival competitions)in order to foot the bill for Beyone’s visit. TSTT is half owned by the government and the people of Trinidad feel that they did not have a say in this decision. It is not that they do not want BEYONCE there it just many carnival events can be cancelled because of her visit…..PLEASE GET THE FACTS BEFORE POSTING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
