Beyonce Q&A - Additional Questions from AOL Sessions


AOL: When was the last time you were completely alone?


Beyonce: The last time I was completely alone was probably yesterday. I have my moments alone — it’s important. Every morning I try to lay in bed and try to think about what I did the day before and what I have to do. I do my own therapy and analyzing, so I can be smarter, stronger and a better woman.

AOL: The ‘I Am’ portion of the album is pretty emotional. When was the last time you cried?

Beyonce: ‘I Am’ — that portion of the record is very emotional, very touching and very vulnerable. I’m an emotional person. I’m really sensitive. Whenever there’s someone in the room crying, I cry. When I watch a Hallmark commercial, I cry. I think it’s one of my gifts; I’m able to connect emotionally to people and it doesn’t take a lot.

AOL: What would your mother say is your worst habit?

Beyonce: My mother would say my worst habit is definitely being messy. They call me Hurricane Beyonce — whenever I walk in a room, you give it about 10 minutes, my purse, my shoes — everything — is all over the place. I’m extremely organized with my work. I’m very detail-oriented and a little bit crazy. So when I come home I don’t want to think about anything. I don’t want to be put together. I just completely destroy everything.

AOL: I heard you’re a pretty good Connect Four player. What’s your secret talent or party trick?

Beyonce: I’m a pretty good Connect Four player. I think I’m the champion. I don’t want to talk too much but I really can back it up. I know people are like, “Yeah, right.” Everybody thought, “OK, that’s the rumor, but let’s try.” I beat quite a few legends.

AOL: Any possibility of a Destiny’s Child reunion?

Beyonce: Destiny’s Child — actually my cousin just had a birthday and all the girls, we flew into New York. We had a party bus and we went to see this show called ‘Fuerzabruta.’ It was amazing. It was so great to see the girls and we stayed up all night, we played musical chairs.We see each other all the time. I heard some stuff that Kelly [Rowland] is doing for her record — Michelle [Williams]’s album is out. They’re my girls. Whenever they need me I’m here, and whenever I need them, they’re here for me. Maybe one day. We always have our surprise performances every year, so we’ll see what happens.

Beyonce Performs @ Rockefeller Center

"Ave Maria" Live:

Here's a few photos and an excerpt of the article from Beyonce's issue of Giant:




Beyonce: Portrait of a Lady
By GIANT Dec 4, 2008

The Renaissance woman is a marvel. But despite a life in the spotlight and the drives of obsessed fans, few people genuinely know Beyoncé Giselle Knowles. The words of those loved her best and longest, we present Sasha Fierce, Jay-Z’s bride, a dynamic musician, a skillful actress and an adored daughter. The icon.

You have to understand,” Jay-Z told me in 2003,before Beyonce was his wife, when they were still getting to know each other, while they were negotiating their relationship with the public.” I don’t even like for people to know what my girl looks like…. and now I’m in a relationship with Michael Jackson!”

At the time, it wasn’t clear if Jay had a case of the love goggles. Sure, led by Beyoncé, Destiny’s Child hit the stratosphere in 2001, picking up Grammys, breaking Billboard records and churning out fun, girl-power R&B dance hits. (They wouldn’t be named bestselling girl group of all time until 2005, after they’d reunited in 2004 to record Destiny Fulfilled). But MJ? The greatest of all time? This was at a point when you couldn’t read an article on the group without Beyoncé being described as “bootylicious.” - DREAM HAMPTON
