Yes she worked hard, practiced and rehearsed. But so did every other popstar. You don't think J.Lo, Kelly C, or Britney rehearsed? They are all on that same level.

Beyonce had it much easier. First, she had family support, which goes a LONG way. She had someone to PAY for her singling lessons, dancing lessons. She didn't work multiple jobs like J.Lo and gain her skills over period of YEARS like she had to. She had a HOUSE and CONSISTENT INCOME, which allowed her to focus on her craft, unlike Katy Perry or Madonna. She got her deal relatively easy, as opposed to someone like Gaga who was dropped from multiple labels. She did not write he own material at the start. She had people who she trusted to negotiate her deals for her. She had the emotional support of group members.

Yes she worked hard an an INDIVIDUAL level, but her surroundings were delivered to her on a silver platter.

Actually, she did most of her writing of her career at the start. She wrote and did vocal arrangements for DC, thats why she won the ASCAP and was nominated for the songwriting category at the Grammys, which she lost to Bono

What kinda child pays for singing lessons and what parent is stupid enough to randomly let their child onto an unknown contract.
What kinda BS.

That's why being young and having a supportive family is an advantage. You know how many artists are broke today b/c they had no support system?

Beyoncé was signed @ age 7?

And just because her father had education and business sense which didn't make him resort to selling coconuts out the truck of his hoopty and didn't require his daughter to go ***** herself out on the streets and didn't resort to her dry heaving cocaine up her anus to gain "artistic expression and freedom" doesn't mean she didn't have to work hard to get where she is today.

But I guess you haters can go on with the conclusion that she just woke up this way. ***Flawless.

For the first album? I think not.

All of this. Sounds like Matthew is a really stand up guy. I'm sure he'll be a great father to Beyonce's half sister.

Your points are completely invalid. Beyonce didn't even see major success until DC's second album. Einstein, it takes more than a healthy household and great support system to achieve the quality of success Bey has attained. Once these girls get signed they're all on the SAME playing field. They all have access to vocal coaches, stylists, writers, producers. So what makes Beyonce's work any less significant?

What broken home did Katy and Gaga come from? They didn't have a support system or family to fall back on? Go on and tell me the lie that they didn't. What hard work did Rihanna (besides giving great ****ing head because we've all seen her early vocal work) have to go through to get her record deal? Britney and Christina had a way earlier start than Bey, being endorse by ****ing Disney?

The delusion you have been spouting has been on the next level of whateverthef***.

Can't refute the facts?

Beyonce out of all the current pop girls have worked the hardest on her craft yes.

But she didn't sacrifice, invest or risk anything but her time and energy. Few established artists can say that they had the benefit of venturing so little to gain so much. Beyoncé kinda reminds me of Willow Smith in that respect.

I've always respected Yonce's hustle.

I was looking at the Soul Train Awards "Bills, Bills, Bills" performance a couple days ago and its impressive how much she's evolved both vocally and performance wise. Sure her dad had a huge hand in making her who she is today, but none of it could have happened without ha own drive and work ethic.

He was a great enough father to instill the RIGHT moral values in his daughter early enough on in her life that made her understand the important of hard work and respect. If only some of these other girls had the same type of parenting they wouldn't be posed up with their dry, herpes infested cooch up in the air tainting the ozone...

No. Matthew, like many welloff people, has a personal lawyer. It's far from rocket science, hun.

They sold their mansion and moved to a condo in the projects with no gas, water, electricity for the sake of her career.
