People perceive things differently. Some see Bey as a scantily clad star shaking her stuff for hits. Cool. I’m finishing grad school and while I don’t see her as a role model for academic achievement, I find her fantastic in other areas. She’s talented, gorgeous and unapologetic in the way she uses her femininity. To me there’s nothing wrong with taking over the world in high heels and a freakum dress. You don’t need to be frumpy or dress conservative to prove you’re smart. 

She has incredible work ethic, discipline. She never had a messy personal life, bed hopping, falling out of clubs on drugs or in and out of rehab. She behaves with dignity and class when the circumstance calls for it (some call her robotic, I call it being raised to act like a lady); and she unleashes her inner goddess when it’s time to entertain. She worked tirelessly on becoming a one woman empire, got married, then had a baby while always looking like a million bucks. She’s a role model IMO but so are my mother, and other women who have nothing to do with showbiz.

Parents should raise their kids and not expect celebrities to do so. I grew up listening to Britney Spears. When Britney changed and started to dress provocatively, I was only 10. But even at that age, I knew what was wrong and what was right because my parents taught me that. Michelle herself said that the POTUS and her always talk to their daughters. So she’s raising her kids and doesn’t expect Beyoncé to do it. I’m not a Bey stan but I like how she’s focused on her work and that she knows exactly what she wants. People always say she’s fake but she’s just shy. Plus, people aren’t perfect. Beyoncé’s a high school dropout. But how many successful businessmen are also college dropouts? Bill Gate’s a college dropout. People need to stop hating on Bey. I admit sometimes she is all over the place and I’m even sick of it. But I don’t deny the fact that she’s a hard working woman and completely dedicated to her passion. I hate the hypocrisy of this. People are acting all like she has to be perfect when she’s human just like us. 

My comment got in moderation Oh well. I was just trying to say all the Beyonce hate has to do with some women having very low self esteem. Strong women who value themselves know they are the biggest influence in their child’s life. Not a pop star. I think more black women need to have some more Beyonce in them because there are too many sisters degrading themselves by having unprotected sex outside of marriage and as a result having babies out of wedlock and exposing themselves to STDS. Mmmmm.

1. Beyonce and Jz visit the White house2. Beyonce and Michelle dancing to who run the world at the White House3. Beyonce writes an open letter to Michelle that everyone got to see4. People magazine named beyonce most beautiful5. Michelle grants People magazine an interview in which she says Beyonce is Her role model6. Barak openly supports gay marriage now JZ is no longer an Homopobe
Election is coming soon. It called networking. The obamas need popular votes which are all the blacks and gay voters thats why they choose be close to Beyonce and JZ.
4years ago she would have said Oprah was her role model while sitting on her couch when they need her get more votes.
Beyonce is very talented but not a role model and look at the obama girls they know their real role models. Michelle would never let her kids be like Beyonce she will tell them to get their behinds to college. So ppl stop believing in this ppl n turn to God they dont care about U.They for popularity which brings more money.

This is so prudish. She’s a great role model. She’s an established business woman and artist that is always singing songs about the empowerment of women. Not only is she a boss, but she’s a devoted wife and mother. Thus telling young girls that you can indeed have it all and not settle for less. She’s never been arrested, she didn’t have child out wedlock (no shade to any one who has), she doesn’t bad mouth other people, she doesn’t embarrass the whole race on reality tv shows, she a hard worker and she does charitable work. She’s a dancer and she wears those outfits as costumes. And it’s not like she walks down the street doing the “Dance for me” video in the her bra and panties and garter belt. If you raise your daughter yourself and explain it to her she’ll be smart enough to know that Beyonce is a performer.

And with people anaylzing Ms. Obama’s answer it is not that deep. It’s a hypothetical question. Calm down please.

I digress from the topic at hand for a second in order to say…What the heck is up with everyone using the word SWEXY?…I mean, is this a joke or something?…what, it’s cool to have a speech impediment now?…what are we Elmer Fudd now?!…I’m just saying, when did it become cool to talk like a two year old?…sorry, I just had to say it cause I can’t stand seeing this word anymore…PLEASE  stop it!!…lol

The first time I heard
Michelle O. say Beyonce was a role model for her daughters was in winter of
2009. I totally cringed but I let it slide because I really liked Mrs. Obama. I
also had a bit of a problem with President Obama hanging out with people like
Jayz a guy who at 12 years old attempted to murder his drug addicted
brother because he stole a gold ring, then in his adulthood stabs a record
music producer for leaking his record. Imagine if Hillary would have been
hanging out with Madonna and saying she’s a “role model” for young
girls or Bill Clinton would have been hanging out with someone like Charlie
Sheen. Madonna as well as Beyonce are creative and talented, Madonna is a well
known philanthropist and has given a great amount of time and money to various
charities, but I believe her overtly sexual image would have not made her the
best role model for young girls in the 90′s, that doesn’t take away her talent.
Sasha, Malia, nor Michelle look nothing like Beyonce and I would hate to think
the girls would use Ms. Carter as the definition of black beauty, since neither
girl has blonde hair or yellow skin. I’m really starting to believe the Obamas
will say and do anything for political contributions. 

yea im def not the one that people will tell you like beyonce..and im certainly not a stan…but lets be honest…when last u seen a chick in the industry….wait to get married to have her mans child….how is she not a role model? sure she does what she does…but even when half dressed she is way more classy with it then other celebrities whom little girls uphold….
