The following email from loyal reader Jasmine D makes some very valid points about Beyonce being honored with the “Billboard Millenium Award” — an award that no one has ever heard of.
Is it any surprise that Billboard comes up with this dubious honor for Beyonce at a crucial time when both Kelly Rowland and Rihanna are eating her lunch?
Dear Sandra,
Let me start off by saying that I am a HUGE fan of your site. I visit it everyday and I absolutely adore you and your (hilarious) commenters =D.
But anyway, I don’t know if you heard or not, but apparently Beyawnce is going to be honored with the Billboard Millenium Award (whatever that is) at the 2011 Billboard Awards. I say, “whatever that is,” because (obviously, that is supposed to be a high honor to receive), however, prior to Beyonce’s nomination, you will find no other receiptients or even links to this award (Google it). It’s as if it never even existed. And, even if it did exist, out of all the living (and dead) legends we’ve witnessed in America (M.J., Prince, Tina Turner, Teena Marie, ect.), Billboard chooses an amatuer (compared to the decade long careers of the REAL legends) whose solo career hasn’t even spanned over a decade and who has created no classics or made any significant contributions to the music industry, as the recepient.
I put the link that I got the story from in the e-mail so you could read it for yourself, but after visiting numerous other websites and reading the comments, it seems like most of us (besides Bey’s delusional stans) are on the same page. It’s CLEAR that camel and his phony wife bought this award. RiRi is nominated for 18 Billboard awards this year, and being that Beyonce is the vindictive and jealous, talentless being that she is, it should come as no surprise why she would pay a pretty penny to get the attention back on her.
She hasn’t put out an album in two years, her recent single FLOPPED, plus she just isn’t iconic to begin with, so why now? Let me know what you think about it, but her motive is clear to me Sandra. Beyonce may have her stans and the other simple minded humans of the world fooled, but I’m not.
I’m not fooled either, Jasmine!
