2008 Grammy Awards to be Cancelled; Replaced with An Evening With the Knowles Family


LOS ANGELES - It was announced today the the 2008 Grammy Awards will be canceled because no big-names other than Beyonce have agreed to perform due to the writers' strike. A source close to the show says: "It is impossible to have an awards show honoring the best and brightest in music when the best and brightest don't show up, so the Grammy Awards have been canceled this year." Despite the cancellation, CBS will replace the Grammy telecast with "An Evening With the Knowles Family starring Worldwide Pop Icon Megastar Beyonce" The 3-hour special will feature performances by members of the America's most talented family.

Matthew Knowles, manager/father of Beyonce says: "Beyonce is without a doubt the greatest star in the history of life, she's a great singer, dancer, and actress, and when she was touring third world countries sick children were healed after they touched her wig. This show is great opportunity for the world to get to know Beyonce and her family on a personal level and I feel like everyone around the world should have the chance to know her, embrace her, smell her, honor her and treat her like the goddess that she is. Beyonce supports the Grammy organization 100% and doesn't expect to get a Grammy just for showing up. However, if the Grammy people see fit to give her the Grammys she was nominated for (and some that she isn't nominated for) she will gladly accept them and act surprised."

Beyonce and her family are currently in rehearsal for the special which promises to be memorable night of music and entertainment.

The program will go as followed:


8:00PM-8:05PM - Beyonce opens the show with Crazy In Love.

8:05PM -8:10PM - (costume and hair change) Beyonce performs Get Me Bodied with all 167 dances including the "Pat Your Weave", "Do the Uh-Oh", "Do An Old-School Dance", "Put your Tampon In", etc.

8:10PM-8:40PM - Instead of using this time to promote her album Kelly Rowland spends 30 minutes talking about how great Beyonce's asscrack smells.

8:50-9:00PM - Mama Tina gives glory to the Lord by doing a praise dance to the music of Soulja Boy (let the church say Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!)

9:00PM-9:10PM - Matthew does a tribute to the many facial expressions of Beyonce including "The confused Dreamgirls look", "The confused interview look", and "The confused awards show acceptance speech look, and the "Destiny's Child/Kelly/Farrah 'Did I say that you could talk?' evil look."

9:10PM - 9:15PM- Beyonce pays tribute to her younger sister Solange by singing "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better".

9:15PM - 9:25PM - Get ready to throw your panties at the television screen as Baby Daniel slows it down for all the ladies in the house with his medley of sexy songs. He'll open his set with R. Kelly's "Your Body's Calling" and you'll want to put your Tivos on record when he tears down the house with Bobby Brown's "Tender Roni"

9:25PM - 10:55PM - Beyonce performs Dangerously In Love.

10:55PM-11:00PM - The entire Knowles family returns and sings "Family" from the Dreamgirls soundtrack.

"An Evening With the Knowles Family starring Worldwide Pop Icon Megastar Beyonce" is sponsored by Dereon, House of Dereon, Dereon Infant, Dereon Girls, Dereon Chunky, Samsung, Sprint, American Express, L'Oreal, and Armani Diamonds.

You forgot.....
 
A 20 minute docudrama on what led to her changing her hair color and how it was such a grueling process not to mention the effect it will have on all the women of the world who wore their hair like her.

I hate you.

I was getting ready to solidify my dislike for Beyonce. She still needs to sit her butt padded self down somewhere.

Oh god, me too. I actually put my coffee cup down in amazement when I read that her father supposedly said the children were healed after touching her wig... I finally got that it was a joke by the time I finished that paragraph. LOL.

hey...I am just waiting for Beyonce to play out so we can have the airwaves back again....

Kinda curious tho....if they were to put her on AI, how would she fare?

BabyPiNK_FL 01-24-2008 12:40 PM

I love the part about her facial expressions! She always looks confused! ALWAYS!

I don't know whether to love you or hate you for this.

I would pay money, good money, to see Simon tell her to shut her mouth and quit sticking her arms in the air. I've had enough of the Beyonce pits for a lifetime already. Give me a Beyonce-less Kelly Rowland any day.

Don't hate me, I thought it was real until I got to the schedule, lol

Ms. Intellect 01-24-2008 05:51 PM

Beyonce is a stone singer. She is beautiful, and she dances her butt off. All of the adulation, awards, and honors bestowed upon her are certainly not a fluke. The girl is B-to-the-A-to-the-D!

4 separate posts, though?:confused:

Your post just read like you are Supreme Basileus of Beyonce Fan Club, Inc. and like those who disagree would be placed on the BFCI's Most Wanted List.

LOL. I just hope Ms. Intellect doesn't turn into Beyonce's Chris Crocker.

Daaaaaayum.

Ms. Intellect 01-24-2008 06:15 PM

Supreme Basileus of the Beyonce Fan Club, Inc., naw. More like the National President.

I post how I feel, 'tis all.

I must admit, I felt where Chris Croker was coming from though.

Bey...that's my girl.

unspokenone25 01-24-2008 06:19 PM

I guess we'll see your YouTube sobbing session about individuals picking on Bey-ONCE (aka Bey-OTCH) soon enough.

thats true....hopefully the "slowness" is an act...she has some major endorsements and a MAJOR tour so she should be set...she keeps her personal business to herself, not much negative press....I dunno...ya'll may be sleeping on her and her brightness...I can appreciate the fact that she is not an excellent singer but I have to give her props for positioning herself as a worldwide superstar....its been proven time and time again that superstar status is not merited on talent alone....some of the best singers careers never go anywhere...Beyonce is marketable...and in this world money talks...so once ta gin...I respect her gangsta....if I could make millions on a subpar voice I would be one hummin, singing off key chick....

that's the thing...she is an entertainer who really can't sing and she is using everything else to cash in on it while she is young and popular...most women (especially those who CAN sing) don't have that luxury.

me personally, Im not that much of a fan because her songs don't "stick" to me like others have....you can bounce her stuff off of a wall for a few mins and keep going...


BTW...that reminds me....

did anyone know that Janet had a CD set to drop next month?

IlovemyAKA 01-25-2008 12:39 AM

Naw, you won't see me on YouTube sobbing about anything. Fortunately, Beyonce is more grounded than Brit. She's an icon. I think she'll be a'ight. Folk should stop hatin' on her, though.
