I have not written a blog post in a long time because I've been a little busy but lately a lot has been happening and I can't contain myself any longer. *WARNING* this post will be about celebrities I try to get my celebrity post to a minimum, so just bare with me.
1. A lot of media stories have been written in the past few days about First Lady Obama's admiration for Beyonce, lets state some history first. When President Obama ran for President in 2008 a lot stars campaigned for him, Beyonce and Jay-Z were no different they traveled around the U.S. with Mary J, Diddy, and etc to campaign for him. On the night of the inauguration Beyonce was invited by the Obama's to perform for them on national television.
When the First Lady decided to make childhood obesity one of her many causes, Beyonce reworked her song 'Get me Bodied' and called it 'Move Your Body' and made a video featuring young children and that was a huge success.
Last year when the Billboard Awards honored Beyonce with the Millennium Award, Mrs. Obama was featured in the tribute calling Beyonce a "role model" and then this year the love was returned with an open letter thanking Mrs. Obama for being an inspiration and for being role model to her. Their feelings are each other is clearly mutual.
So, I was clearly bothered by the fact that people are upset that Mrs. Obama took her daughters to see Mrs. Carter in concert at her Revel shows. Mrs. Obama recently did an interview with "People' magazine where they asked her, if she could be anybody who would she want to be? and Mrs. Obama replied "Beyonce" oh that started a whole different issue. Now I've been seeing comments calling Mrs. Obama a "groupie" and that they "lack' respect for her because she likes Beyonce, This is a prime example of what goes on in everyday life.Two successful black women can't like each other and it makes me sad.
Before becoming the First Lady, Michell Obama was/ is a lawyer, who tutored President Obama so it insults me that people chose to downgrade her intelligence just because she wants to be Beyonce. Hell I have my days where I want to wake up and not worry about money and travel. Mrs. Carter leads a charmed life for sure BUT she works her ass off for every dime she has. Beyonce is considered by many and even myself as a role model, sure she has a rich husband but she's her own woman and people cannot take it, so they say she is always naked or she's dumb. Making up excuses I assume to make themselves feel better about the life they lead. *drops mic*
