You're welcome

ETA: You'll see why it's a video deserving of all awards. The "Single Ladies/I miss having 2 women back my up like when I was in Destiny's Child" formula works wonders.

ETAA: When did Beyonce get the little accent above the "e" in her name? I don't know if she deserves it...
I just want to say I so love my wonderhick hometown still local and not voice tracked radio station for pronouncing her name "BEE yontz." It's nice to know that there's someone out there who has no clue who she is.

I think she always had the accent, just no one used it until we all realized that (according to Kanye) she was the HBIC.
Golden girls = the shit. For real.

I never noticed the accent. I guess she's working on her worldwide appeal.

I chuckle when I see that, though, because I remember reading something a while ago that said Matthew Knowles made Kelly and Michelle change their names because they were "too ghetto." The name "Beyonce" somehow managed to slipped through the cracks.

Tina Knowles's maiden name is Beyince, with the accent and everything. I guess they felt it was an homage to her family and therefore not ghetto? She mentioned that when Chris Rock made fun of the name during one of his routines.

ETA: WHY DO I KNOW ABOUT THESE PEOPLE?!

But apparently, Kelly (Kelendria) and Michelle's (Tenitra) names aren't homages to their families? lol GTF outta here with that, Mrs. Knowles!
