Quote That Makes You Go Huh? If Michelle Obama Could Be Anyone, It Would Be Bey?

I know Beyonce and the first lady have this great move your body partnership/admiration for one another thing going on but the FLOTUS just took it to another level.

In the latest issue of PEOPLE which hits newsstands today, Michelle was asked by a reporter, “If you could be someone else, who would you be?” and she gave a rather interesting answer:

“Gosh. If I had some gift, I’d be Beyoncé … I’d be some great singer.”

I know. Half of you are ready to gag and the other half are bouncing in their chairs with excitement. It’s a pretty polarizing statement.

For a minute I thought, well that makes sense to go from being scrutinized for everything you do as the wife of the President of the United States and having a big deal made over every little move toy make to—then I thought wait a minute, she already is Beyonce. The Bey of the White House perhaps because it ain’t easy being Beezy. The pressures on these two women is just about equal despite a huge variance in importance. More than anything though it seems Michelle wishes she had the gift of singing, perhaps like her hubby so they could do a little Al Green duet.

Anyway, in an effort to curb the Beyonce hate I won’t ask what you think about the Flotus’s answer, how about this instead: if you could be someone else, who would you be?

    Wow. I don’t even want to jump in but… it’s not that serious. I think they asked FLOTUS if  she could be anyone for ONE DAY, who would she be. ONE DAY. I think the one day got lost in the media and people who hate Beyonce are taking this and running with it. Mrs. Obama and Beyonce are both accomplished sisters who admire each other. What is wrong with that? Some people are so jealous and can’t see past their envy. So sad. Envy is a sin people. Get your life together and leave FLOTUS and Mrs. Carter alone.

    Where’s the sicko under a blanket screaming, “Leave Beyonce alone!”

    WTF?!!!! Michelle I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your blood sugar was low when you made this statement.  You’re supposed to be intelligent, Ivy League educated, an attorney, married to the most powerful person in the world.  Please be more careful in future of the words that come out of your mouth.  You’re one of the few black women we have out there who isn’t embarrassing us!!!! Let’s keep it that way PLEASE!!!!!!

    LMBO @ Brande attempting to curb the hate.

    As a Mrs. Obama stan, I feel the need to say that she followed that comment up by saying that stars like Beyonce always seem to be having fun. I completely understand that. Some of the glimpses that we see of Bey’s life do look fun as heck!

    I would choose to be Mariah Carey because her life seems effortlessly enjoyable and I truly believe that she is happy from the inside out. It’s infectious, imo.

      Darn it! I meant to put hate in quotation marks because most of the comments are just personal opinions.
