I like Beyonce, but one thing that annoys me about her is her need to always be perfect....the photoshopping, lip-syncing, etc, I wish she would just be more real and honest.

And lipsycning, photoshopping, etc. are only exclusive to Beyoncé? No one else does it?

Using Instagram effects + posing with good angle + lights is not that different.

A lil photoshop never killed nobody.

Are you kidding ? These little actions are these things why fans try to desperately catch the pseud-perfection of their faves.

Maybe she doesn't care. She can do whatever she wants like she told y'all.

So?

That's just further proof that you shouldn't use the song against her. Or are you agreeing with me? I can't tell.

TBH, attacking women for photoshopping themselves makes me feel weird. I mean, we're the ones who expect these popstars to look perfect and drag them when they don't. It's hypocritical to criticize when we're the reason they photoshop themselves.

Welp I have no problems with photoshop but she's been consistently editing her thighs which exposes her insecurity. I am not criticizing her and I actually feel sorry for her. This woman has been such a perfectionist 24/7 that it must be a huge psychological struggle and burden for her.

Now let me give the good sis some streaming points!

Anyone using the lyrics to Pretty Hurts against her doesn't understand the meaning of the song.

It's not "I don't care about beauty standards" it is "Beauty standards are really tough to deal with". The song is empowering but it is also a bit sad because she is not cured by the end. She wants to be happy and she knows conforming hurts but she's not immune from being human.

You stripped away the masquerade (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
The illusion has been shed (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)

Beyonce: Answer: Yes

FOH with the back peddling. Telling everyone how shes comfortable in her own skin and then goes onto photoshopping her instagram candids. Admit it. She's a hypocrite. It is what it is.

Why would Beyonce feel the need to photoshop her thighs? We just saw her on TV three weeks ago, thighs out, nothing wrong with them. Y'all try to find anything to put her down but she remains unbothered.


and rich.

Well Bey said in an interview years ago that she wears multiple pairs of stockings under her costumes to keep her legs in shape.
- She likes to look good, nothing wrong with that

We're not talking about anyone else here, we are talking about Beyonce. Those things annoy me when anyone do them.

Beyonce is so talented and beautiful, I just wish she would be more "real" and not feel the need to lip-sync or photoshop her own pictures just to make sure she's 100% perfect. Nobody is 100% perfect and shouldn't try to be. If she doesn't have a thigh gap, who cares? If her voice isn't sounding her best one day, its not a big deal.

when a photoshopped thigh gap is making headlines all over you know there's way too much power in her name

this is big news

No, but she's the only one who's trying hard to be perfect.

Everyone photoshops themselves these days, not gonna throw anything at her because of it. She and her team need to be more intelligent about the whole situation. When you upload a photo to a social site that has 17 million followers you don't do this, it's obvious that someone is gonna realize that. She should use other angles if she's so insecure or not take bikini pics at all. She's hot but something about her legs is really bothering her and a lot.

When has that ever stopped her from finding her way into the credits?

And also this too, is getting tiring her ''perfect image'' she is just fueling everything for everyone to drag her the second she makes a mistake. At some point if she's going with the Im perfect route is gonna slap her in the face the second something major happens.

I think she should do what makes her happy and if she wants to look her best in photos and a little photoshopping helps then she should do it. When did she stop being human like the rest of us? That's the point I was making in that Rihanna post, Beyonce gets hated and scrutinized to the point where people makes special rules for what she can and cannot do. It's crazy.

[qurl]

'she's exposing her insecurity' lmao none of yall know a thing about her... Y'all don't even know if she's the one actually editing the pictures yet here y'all sit writing dissertations on her personality defects.. pathetic tbh

would love for any of y'all to be one of the most microscopically examined celebrities in existence and see how y'all would fair, most of y'all acting like your own thighs don't cause friction fire from rubbing together so much

[QueenBLadyG]

How is using the photoshop app or any other editing tools for your photos worth criticizing anyone for? Non-celebrities do it all the time.

Beyoncé has said many times that even she has things about her she doesn't like. You can be both comfortable in your skin and yet insecure about some parts of it. We are human. Insecurity is part of our makeup. We have egos.

Those lyrics don't really prove anything either. She's as much chanting those lyrics to empower others as it is consoling herself as well. Maybe I have a different interpretation. Even in Irreplaceable I thought it was being ironic not sassy, that she was trying to stay confident by saying these things but really felt heartbroken and I liked it a lot better then.
