Wow that's amazing! I remember watching that ceremony, Beyonce really did dominate it.
What's her Oscar nominations to win ratio btw? Surely it must be pretty high considering they invite her all the time.
Do you remember the Listen mess?

Oscars Won't 'Listen' to Beyoncé; She's Disqualified in Song Race
It looks like Beyoncé won't win an Oscar as a songwriter — for "Listen," one of the original new tunes added to the original Broadway score. Officially, she's listed as one of the song's four writers, but the Oscars' songwriting branch has decided to qualify only Henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler for writing "Listen." No explanation is given for why Beyoncé is excluded over the others. Is this just one of those cases of where the singer insisted upon having her name added to credits as part of her performance deal? In media interviews, she's often said that she was truly involved in its songwriting. Apparently, not to the extent as her three collaborators, according to the Oscars.

Beyoncé and Academy Respond to Oscar Song News
Yesterday, when we broke the news that Beyoncé Knowles is not eligible to be nominated for best song at the Oscars, we'd received confirmation from the studio. Now we've heard directly from the Oscars and Beyoncé's rep.
First, here's what Academy PR spokesman John Pavlik says: "Various branch executive committees have to make this kind of a decision almost every year, and the decision always comes down to the same thing: who had the most to do with the achievement being considered. It was no different in this case."
Beyoncé's rep Alan Nierob says, "It's wrong to say that Beyoncé was disqualified because she never qualified. It's all about percentages — how much each person contributed to the song. Beyoncé contributed greatly to 'Listen,' but her percentage is lower, so she didn't expect to be eligible for nomination. She's very happy that her co-writers may be recognized."
Gags her audience was so typical tho The entire row in front of me was on grindr at some point during the show, and a guy in front of them got at least 6 dick pic snapchats.
I actually like it A LOT. It's so underrated and contained so many jams and personal songs. Glassheart, a Beauty & a Beat rip-off, really is amazing. The lyrics are so raw and the metaphors are perfect.
Then the Darkchild, "Shake You Up" Leona deserved sooooo much more. The messy release of Lovebird ruined everything. (that song would've been massive)

Time Magazine, Forbes, People () have very low circulation outside of anglo North America. They may be referenced throughout the world in media occasionally, but they are mainly consumed by the American public and reflect American values and thought paradigms.
The only time I heard "Work Bitch" in public was at a gym. But most gyms use their own playlists, not the radio.
We know what happened with Britney Jean anyway though, and why they had to go with a horrible track like WB as a lead. An insider revealed it on another forum...Britney had amazing songs lined up (who wouldn't have wanted the new Britney lead single after Scream & Shout smashed so hard?), but in her contract it was stipulated she needed to promote the music in order to retain the tracks. For whatever reason, she decided not to promote the album at all, and all those amazing songs reverted back to their original owners and they were left scrambling with a bunch of mediocre B-sides. The lead singles of several pop stars coming out recently are ex-Britney Jean songs.

I thought the tour would be fantastic after the iTunes festival and wanted to go but not anymore.
