I have a very eclectic iPod. So I’ve got my cardio people – so it’s anything from Beyonce to some Jay-Z to Janelle Monae, her song ‘Tightrope,’ that’s a good cardio song. And then I’ve got Sting. I’ve got Mary J. Blige. I’ve got The Beatles. I’ve got Michael Jackson. I try to pick the songs that I personally love.
I’ve always been interested in Mariah Carey, Beyonce, and Leona Lewis.
I never had any technical training. I never considered that, one day, I’m going to be Beyonce like a lot of girls aspire to be. It just kind of happened.
‘Lemonade’ resonated with me, and I love the direction Beyonce is going with her music and her career.
The great majority of men are attracted to feminine women who do not possess the body type of Michael Phelps. Beyonce is desired not because of her ‘diabolical femininity,’ but simply because of her femininity.
I would think Beyonce will be the greatest female artist of all time.
There are lots of ways to be a feminist. Beyonce, for example, is a beautiful example of feminine sensuality and is still really powerful. My character and my inner essence is more like an awkward 15-year-old boy, like a teenager backstage, like, ‘Yeah, what’s up?’ That’s what I’m trying to channel.
My absolute dream goal is to dance with Beyonce on stage.
I love sensual women like Beyonce who are very empowering and sexy at the same time, but if it’s not what you want to do then you have to say no.
I’ve always been attracted to music, and women like Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Tina Turner showed the path, in a way. They’re all tough women but not afraid to be vulnerable. They made me feel someone like me could do that.
Bey’s mantra isn’t about putting on airs or makeup. For that matter, what makes Beyonce Beyonce is that thing we can all wake up with: confidence.
Beyonce is not above critique. As a feminist herself, I hope Beyonce would welcome it.
When I dance, I look almost identical to Beyonce. And I mean identical. In many ways, when she becomes Sasha Fierce, she’s actually just becoming me.
There are lots of reasons people come to Beyonce shows. There’s the music, her dancing; all in all a bedazzling show. She’s a great performer and singer.
I do pop, so pop is very broad. It could be anything from the Weeknd to Taylor Swift to Beyonce to whatever is on the radio, basically.
Let me put it this way: I don’t feel as settled as I look. I think that’s true of everyone, probably. Except for Beyonce and Jay-Z. I don’t think they wake up and think, ‘Ugh, when’s it going to work out for us? Why can’t we catch a break?’ Aside from them, I’m pretty sure everyone’s life feels a lot less intentional.
I love Beyonce. She’s so fierce. I also love Lily Allen, and she was an influence on my music.
A lot of people want to collaborate with people because of their level and status, but really I want to create with Beyonce just because of her skill and because of the history we have together.
What I like to see is people like Beyonce. Here is a woman who is bling-a-ding. Not only does she look like that and act like that – I’ve seen her perform, and I was blown away – but she is at the top of her profession.
It is so scary to break in new shoes on stage. It makes me wonder, how does Beyonce do it, dance in high heels on stage? I am like ‘Whoa!’
Beyonce, Otis Redding, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, and Adele are a few of my favorites.
You look at someone like Beyonce singing ‘Single Ladies,’ when we all know she’s married. Some of it is just for entertainment.
