I was surfing the "infamous" SandraRose.com and came across this blog entry from July 4th. Take a look at it and tell me what you think.

Raise your hands if you're tired of Beyonce

I don't hate Beyonce: She's a strong woman who worked hard to get to the top - but can she go sit down somewhere? Beyonce is the worst thing that has ever happened to the music industry. Because of her, REAL singers like Crisette Michelle can't shine. Could you imagine a world without Anita Baker or Stephanie Mills in it? They wouldn't exist musically if Beyonce was born 20 years earlier. I'm happy to see others taking up the call and urging Beyonce to give us a break!

Over the years, there have been various product endorsements, a low-profile romance with high-profile hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and a clothing line. Her current tour, coming Sunday to Scottrade Center with R&B crooner Robin Thicke of "Lost Without U" fame, keeps her front and center through September. After that, what this hard-working hustler needs is rest and relaxation. She should sit down for a few minutes, out of reach of cameras and microphones. Such a break would suit us as much as it would her. Giving us the opportunity to miss her can only make us appreciate her more once she returns. What did you think of this blog? Leave a Comment.
