American pop icon Beyonce Knowles knows success beyond measure as a pop star, singer, song writer, and actress. The "Golden Child" of former pop singing group "Destiny's Child," Beyonce continues to capture the public eye. Her romantic songs, sultry voice, and sexy moves keep her in the spotlight.

Would it surprise you to know that her insight isn't nearly as keen as her place in the spotlight? This isn't to say she is not a good person. Obviously, she is quite talented. She is young, and her public comments reflect the current popular culture. Most of them aren't memorable, but maybe they will give readers a little more insight on Beyonce Knowles.

Based on what she has said, I doubt Beyonce would mind our examination of her comments. Beyonce once said, "I really don't like people that aren't real people around me at all. I don't like people that are 'yes' people. I don't like people that tell me what they think I want to hear."

A lot of what Beyonce has to say is about life and love.

!. "There's definitely a dangerous feeling when you are in love--- it's giving your heart to someone else and knowing that they have control over your feelings. I know for me, who always tries to be so tough, that's the dangerous thing." I disagree with with the way this is stated. If I understand her sentiment, I don't disagree. It is just a matter of semantics. However, the truth is there is no fear in love. Perfect love casts away fear. This comment doesn't set a good example for young ladies. Beyonce said someone else has control over your feelings when you are in love. No, that is not true. No one can make you feel anything. I think the point of Beyonce's comment is found in the word "control." True love does mean giving up control, and it doesn't sound like she trusts anyone enough, yet, to do that. That is the source of the sense of danger, or fear. It isn't dangerous to feel in love. It is dangerous, to risk sharing your life and heart with someone because you may be hurt.

Takeaways
  • Beyonce has become an accomplished singer, song writer, and actress.
  • She likes the universality of songs about love.
  • Beyonde wants to be around people who are real.

Enjoyed reading the quotes and your input about them. Falling in love can cause that "out-of-control" feeling. There are men (and women?) that use women who love them. That may be what she meant that the love object controls. It has been my experience that men still objectify women. They will chase an uninterested woman until she gets interested and then dump her to move onto the next conquest. I don't think it is anti-feminist to need a special someone in ones life. Going it alone is a tough road, even for a man.

Wow, this is very interesting to read about Beyonce. She really is in love with a much older man which is not uncommon, but somehow don't work out. I hope the best for her, but I hope she isn't blind enough to know true love and true lust.. Beyonce is young she may know what she wants now but things can change in the future.
