You know how ‘stans’ love their favourite celebrity without fail. Their icon can do no wrong, and even suggesting that they have is blasphemy. Your head will get bitten off and chewed until there’s nothing left…unless you apologise, of course, but do it quickly.

Anyway, by now you know that Beyonce is one of my favourite singers- alongside Britney and Lady Gaga- but as a fan, I know she can do wrong.

What do I hate about Beyonce? Her songwriting.

One day I hope to be a successful author, but getting into the publishing industry is HARD. Even when do you get in, 95% of writers will never earn anywhere near the likes of Stephen King, Danielle Steele or J. K. Rowling. Writing is tough, and earning a living from it is even harder. This is why it hurts to see Beyonce add two words to a song and claim songwriting royalites. I can’t imagine sharing my book’s profits when I wrote 89,000 words and someone else contributed 1,000. Every year or so Beyonce is getting sued because of this, and it is VERY disappointing because this will tarnish her legacy. Singing? Excellent. Dancing? Great. Acting? She tries. Songwriting? Stop.

What do you hate about your favourite celebrity?

Recently there was a rumour about Beyonce’s father cheating on her mother, and getting the other woman pregnant. At first this sounded ridiculous- he Knowles exude the ‘perfect family’ image. Then the public became suspicious…Matthew usually shoots down rumours ASAP e.g. when a talk show claimed that Beyonce could not really sing, and provided a distorted tape as proof. This time…Silence.

The rumour faded away, until now. Tina Knowles are filed for divorce.

Now the rumours appear to be true. Did they separate years ago as insiders had claimed? Is that why Tina was seen without her wedding rings? Did Matthew get another woman pregnant?

It makes you wonder about rumours you hear. When they sound unbelievable people tend to laugh them off, especially when they are about your favourite stars. Now we will remember that where there is smoke, there is fire.

PS. Remember that three children are involved in this, no matter whether one is still a foetus, a second is a mother, and the third a wife. It will hurt.
