Beyonce - Style and image - Stage

BeyonceBeyonce Knowles, in an article entitled "Born to Entertain", alongside classic and contemporary entertainers, was complimented for her stage performances. Amidst notable appearances, however, Beyonce often receives criticisms. Pareles says, "Beyoncé can't keep up with the complex rhythms; onstage, she kept falling behind." Knowles performance at the former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant's tomb on July 4, 2003 was cited as lasciviously choreographed; Grant's descendants in attendance had mixed reaction to it.

In 2006, Beyonce Knowles introduced her all-female tour band Suga Mama. In the months prior to the release of B'Day, Beyonce held an audition among female musicians across the United States, which concluded in June. The performing ensemble includes bassists, drummers, guitarists, horn players, keyboardists and percussionists. They debuted in public at the 2006 BET Awards and they re-appeared in the music video for "Irreplaceable" and "Green Light". The band backed up Knowles during her 2007 The Beyoncé Experience world concert tour, and, in addition, they have appeared in small shows wherever Knowles has performed.

Groundbreaking Online Campaign!


Fifty Berklee College of Music students enrolled in a marketing course have launched a grassroots campaign to help land two of their teachers, vocalist Donna McElroy and pianist Jetro da Silva, a televised performance of "America the Beautiful" at the Presidential Inauguration this January.

In support of the application filed with the Armed Services Inaugural Committee, students used YouTube.com to provide worldwide access to a video of McElroy and da Silva giving a stirring rendition of the piece at the 2004 inauguration of Berklee president Roger Brown.

The students’ strategy is to increase the probability of the link reaching the President-elect or his team by using the same tools and tactics used by Obama to win the election. Last week the students began rolling out email, social networks, blogs, and word-of-mouth efforts as means of sharing the video with the world and in hope of getting it all the way to the President-elect.

Beyoncé Knowles - Style and image - Songwriting and producing

Beyoncé KnowlesBeyoncé Knowles - Since Destiny's Child, she has been artistically involved in her career. Beyonce co-wrote most of the songs recorded by the group, as well as her solo efforts. Known for writing personally driven and female-empowerment themed compositions, she has stated that having Jay-Z in her life has changed a few of her thoughts about how men and women relate to one another. Some of Knowles' songs are autobiographical, which she has admitted are taken from personal experiences, as well as her friends'.

Beyonce has co-produced most of the records in which she has been involved, especially during her solo efforts. Although she does not formulate beats and melodies herself, Beyonce typically comes up with ideas during production, sharing them with producers.

Beyonce was recognized as a song-writer during the run of Destiny's Child in the 1990s and early to mid-2000s. Knowles won the Songwriter of the Year award at the 2001 American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Awards,becoming the first African-American female and second overall female songwriter of all time to accomplish that feat. She received three song-writing credits in a single year for co-writing "Irreplaceable", "Grillz" and "Check on It", the only woman to achieve since Carole King in 1971 and Mariah Carey in 1991. In terms of credits, Beyonce is tied with Diane Warren at third with nine number-one singles.

Despite Beyonce' songwriter credits since Destiny's Child, her involvement was a subject of media scrutiny. An issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which happened to feature Knowles on its cover, fueled issues regarding her song-writing credits. In the magazine, she says, "I had written ... seven, eight number one songs with Destiny's Child, in a row." Roger Friedman of FOX News questioned the veracity of her statement. One argument of Friedman involved the credit given to Knowles on her hit "Crazy in Love". He pointed out that the song was written by Eugene Record of the Chi-Lites and was only sampled by Rich Harrison, who produced the track. In a 2004 MTV news report, it was stated, "... Harrison stepped up and wrote the verses and the hook, leaving the bridge for Beyoncé." Friedman also cited songs from Destiny's Child and her solo recordings in his arguments. Another issue spread after Knowles' name was discredited for a nomination given to "Listen" at the 2007 Academy Awards. The Academy's ruling explained that only three major contributors should be recognized during the awards process, and Knowles was the least among the four.

When the song, "If I Were a Boy" initially premiered, Fox News ran a story stating that Toby Gad stole the song from unknown artist, BC Jean after a failed agreement. The articles continues to state that Jean was unaware that Knowles recorded the track. Neither Jean nor Gab have released statements concerning this matter.
