Perfect!

Amin, thank you for this! I am getting persecuted by my own “familie” meaning sisters and brothers in Christ… for posing the same questions and concerns in my recent article on Beyoncé. However I just pray that God is glorified no matter what.

Amin

Love the challenging questions. I’ve seen both you and Jay-Z, and I beg to differ. Continue to be the example. Don’t look back! Keep looking Up! Let your life Praise God! You and the Cross Movement help raise my kids. I will forever be grateful.

GREAT QUESTIONS.

Beyonce may or may not come across this post, these questions, or you in your lifetime. I highly doubt she’d answer these questions or care to. The fact that the questions need to be asked may be some signaling of contradiction that she may or may not feel like addressing.

It may just be considered high art, but I think it comes with a great responsibility. A person of her renown has built her career on these contradictions, and they continue to propel her. I think there is hope in the questions, that she may decide to think about them. Hopefully she’ll be n a position at some point in her life to consider them. I’m glad they were asked.

Those questions are the sum of alot of believers thoughts; the believers who remain non-outspoken of the questionables of those in the limelight. I think too often, we are quick to draw attention to the wrongs of other artists or people in general which we know is not only coming off as condemning but also judgemental… For who are we???. But these questions does just the opposite. If Beyonce were to answer these questions, she, herself, would I believe with no doubt, began to see what we have all along have seen; simply by answering the questions.
Awesome and humorous (the question about J.Z) :)

Wow this is awesome I hope you get that chance trip artists need artists like you to shape their directions though I reckon if all those questions were really asked she would be happy otherwise is agood thought all those questions fit to all artists out there similar to beyonce.

călătorie – Awesome questions, and perfectly framed, frate! I almost had to stand up and leave my living room like Natalie Grant did at the show. I watched the show only because my 13 year old son wanted to, and I wanted to see what was going on the secular world of music, as I tuned it out for the most part 10 cu ani în urmă. There were 2 performances that he claimed, “Oh, that’s my jam!” – Robin Thicke and then Pharrell. I had to ask my son if he knew what those songs were even about, he said he knew but wouldn’t tell me (sex and objectifying women.) So there is a flip side to the female songs. Beyonce and some of the female artists’ songs lead to women expressing their sexuality and then objectified. It’s a terrible cycle of sin that leads to so many kids with parents that don’t care about each other, because their relationship was one based on lust… Oricum, I’ve preached enough, good work, love your music! – J

I would like to ask her why she decided to be a singer doing worldly music. I know she had a Christian background, but that doesn’t make me feel better. Ea, like many others, are in position to be great role-models but chose to just be popular instead. I hate the standard we set today as Americans, especially for the youth.

On a lighter note, love your music. You need to do another song with Jimmy Nedum…..or whatever his name is. Laugh out loud! Good questions tho.

excursie Lee! I know you probably get a ton of people hollering at ya but I just want to say your life and music have been a huge encouragement and blessing to my walk with Jesus. On your discussion, I really enjoyed all questions. #4 stuck out to me. (and these are just my opinions I understand I have a small voice) I believe there is a way to celebrate the married life. And as a follower of Jesus, my concern would be that believers would not flaunt their own sexuality. It’s hard for me to see the heart of Jesus’ in one’s music/life when the majority of time you see them flaunting their sexuality. There’s no love in that. Just an opportunity for temptation. One should consider how it honors the Lord and their fellow brothers and sisters.But then again, that type of love through consideration comes from a christian perspective.

Bine zis….eu am 1 son and 3 girls and I am soo glad that I have raised them to look at an artist by the fruits of their works. If what they create cannot line up with the word of God. Do you want that feeding your spirit? I think you are WAY COOLER THAN Jay-z.

Bine zis…I had to ask myself those questions and they apply to all us whether you are a musician or not, just living your life someone is always watching and someone is also saying I want to be like that when I grown up. So make sure if you really call yourself Christ like, you are doing things that represent Christ, thats why I believe some many young people are confused, to whom shall they follow. I hope its Jesus Christ and Him only, otherwise we will continue to direct them to the pit. We are all accountable for our actions, because actions speak louder than words. Most musicians who started in church go to the world because we do not support our fellow christian music. – Would love to hear her responses but more importantly would love for her to come back to Jesus.

Hope one day she will use her talent which God gave her in the first place….to praise and glorify only Him. She is ment to serve God and be used for His Kingdom. The devil stole her. May God be gracefull to her.

First thing what is driving her? A person is going to either yield their bodies to righteousness or unrighteousness. There is no need to sugar coat nothing. There is a way that seem right unto man but its end is death. Yes we are sinners and need a Savior, but how long do we continue to water down messages?? Isn’t that similar to the church in Corinth who Paul corrected? The truth need to be spoken.

Yo Trip! Well said/asked and I think its perfect timing cuz the issues of artistes influencing the lives of teenagers and young adults have never been more in need of questioning. Days back, I heard a comment from slim thug who said “any kid who acts on what he said in his song wasn’t raised properly” and I was like whaaa?! He claimed he’s just an entertainer and that its up to the kids what they learn and I’m like, “a teacher could as well say,its my job to teach but my students are responsible for what they learn?.” Its just crazy fam. Loved every question as I do have a soft spot for Bey and long to see her saved too. I will be addressing this on my next post so y’all can check it up on kruseaphix.wordpress.com

Yo trip, good questions. Really don mean nothin if she Answers or not the point is u made ur point. Who ever is a fan of hers should care enough to point it out to her…anit trippin buh trip, ure way too HOT to be cool Jay aint on ur league…

I love it.. and number 5 LAUGH OUT LOUD

I think the questions are valid i often wonder now that she is a mother that there would be some non negotiables. She has a daughter that is watching her as well as ours if we let them. I saw some where on the internet that she said she got to famous to attend church .i truly appreciate 1.1.Six and Reach Records because we would have anything to listen to.God Bless y’all

I definitely have similar questions. Many of my friends look up to Beyoncé which worries me a lot actually. It’s sad that being sexy is what they are striving for as a result of her influence. She’s also been put on a pedestal, so for some people it’s like she’s so talented, she can do no wrong… they don’t think critically about what she’s saying and doing and how that influences them… as soon as they hear Beyoncé it’s all good, regardless of the message, which is very sad. Deci da, I’m very happy that Trip is asking these questions – she’s human like the rest of us and should reflect on what she does and who she is influencing as much as the President of the United States… she’s in the media just as much, în cazul în care nu mai.

Interesting but cool!

I love and I’m not sure about this one? But didn’t both of you sang in the church or played a big role in the church? I think you should do it. Mă rog pentru tine.

I think she is becoming an extremely bad influence lately, anyone who goes half naked on stage needs to rethink on what their doing in that situation. I am very upset with our First Lady for not supporting more approiate musicians. Obama is the same with supporting seculier rap artist who promote violence when he should be against that!

Lots of kids in my school pick on me and I know that beyonce can change that so I want her to be a close friend of mine and come to my school to tell people that me and her are friends

Those four (question 5 has not crossed my mind at all, I think you’re cooler) questions sum up all 100 of the one I have for Beyoncè.

I love this post! These are some great questions. Artists often forget about the influence they have on young people, or people in general, and don’t realize the amount of pressure and confusion that can be can caused.
Please continue to allow God to use you and finish the work he has started in you. Luv.
P.S. Thanks for answering the question about why you married a white girl…laugh out loud!

very well put!
