MEH.

Why is she white?

I honestly love B as an artist and I approach many of the ways that she diversifies her look and her base, but my GUT is disturbed by the stringy blonde hair and the much lighter images of her that I am seeing. WHAT'S THAT ABOUT INDEED?! I agree with you, Larry. This is a THING THAT MAKES YOU GO HMMMM!

Lack luster song. Nice picture though. We've never seen her real hair (color) so i don't mind the blonde.

As Michael Jackson got older and more successful, his skin got whiter. Now the same thing is happening to Beyoncé.

Is this caused by a rich diet? Too many servants? Excessive shopping?

Fame whore. Money whore. Qadafi whore.

She's no friend of gays or black people. She was never this pale. Nasty girl.

Beyonce is a great entertainer and she knows how to put on a show. But her latest track is mediocre and this picture makes her look white.

And now she's calling herself "King B"? Oh brother.....

[Honut Sinti]

Pretty soon you're going to need sun glasses to sit across from her.

White?!? I just can't with the level of ignorance. That's clearly an illuminated photo from mirror lighting.Since when has rocking blonde equate to being white?!? If going by that flawed logic, Mary J blige must be trying to be white too considering she's been rocking that hair color for a decade and half. Beyonce has always been very light skinned(evident from childhood pics) and she clearly takes after her mother. Anyhow the song is amazing and mainstream enough to get play on music formats.

i feel like she should have left babyface where he was...
