'Flawless' Remix or Insight on the Showdown?
Yeah it's great that Beyonce put out a remix of her hit song
Flawless but if you listen closely she mentions about the elevator showdown between her sister, Solange and husband, Jay Z.
We escalate, up in this b**** like elevators
Of course sometimes s*** go down
When it's a billion dollars on an elevator
Of course sometimes s*** go down
When it's a billion dollars on an elevator
Many want to know what actually happened on the elevator that caused Solange to attack Jay Z on May 12. Beyonce never once got involved in the showdown so it's surprising to see she mentioned it in her
Flawless remix. In my opinion, maybe things aren't all a fairytale in the Carter household seeing how easily Beyonce stepped out the elevator with a smile for the camera's like nothing ever happened, but at the same time no one ever said marriage was easy.
Disney's Replay
Do you ever miss the shows
That's So Raven,
Kim Possible,
Even Steven's,
and
The Proud Family? Well if you have missed them here's good news, Disney Channel has started their own version on Throwback Thursday playing shows from the last ten years. Disney is getting a lot of good feedback from doing so. "If I live to be 114, I don't think I'll forget the words to the "That's So Raven" theme song. Even after all these years I still catch myself humming it sometimes," commented Justin on the Disney Channel's webpage. In my opinion, I'm excited about Disney's Throwback Thursday, August 13th I stayed up until 3 a.m. watching the first airing of their Replay.
Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour
"The Drake Vs. Lil Wayne tour undoubtedly established a new standard that far exceeded anything hip-hop, or live music in general has seen in a very long time," stated critics. During the battle, there were competitions within the competition, as Drake and Wayne gave their DJs the spotlight in an effort to see who could hype the amphitheater more. Then Drake and Lil Wayne went head-to-head in a battle of hooks that each has worked to make pop culture staples. In my opinion, the tour sounds like it was a don't miss type tour and I missed it. I will definitely be at the next one.
On the Run Tour
Beyonce and Jay Z Carter had a joint tour called
On the Run the tour was a success, making over $100 million in the first 19 North American shows alone, as well as attendance topping 850,000. During the tour, there was a rumor about Beyonce and Jay Z divorcing causing a lot of controversy, after many came and made sure they saw the duo together before the divorce, it's funny how the rumor just disappeared. $1 from each ticket sold and a portion of certain VIP ticket proceeds would go to the Shawn Carter Foundation. The foundation helps and support existing students of the foundation that represent diverse backgrounds, and face significant barriers to success such as teen pregnancy, homelessness, poverty, former incarceration, sexual and domestic abuse, and gang membership.
In my opinion, Beyonce and Jay Z will forever be the #PowerCouple.
The Mtv Awards
The performance by Beyonce brought tears to everyone's eyes as she dedicated her performance to her daughter, Blu Ivy Carter. At the end of her performance she shut down all rumors about her husband, and their marriage by exchanging a kiss with her husband Jay Z. Arianna Grande and Big Sean reveal to the world about their new relationship status by holding hands backstage of the Mtv Awards. Miley Cyrus brings a homeless guy as her date to the awards in hopes to raise awarness to La Shelter Hopes. In my opinion, I really enjoyed the Mtv Awards and it was a surprise to see a serious side to Miley Cyrus.
