Beyonce Drops "Bow Down" Trash Song

Beyonce apparently feels like Justin Timberlake shouldn't be getting all the glory this spring, as far as pop comebacks go. There's just one big difference: Justin Timberlake's new material might seem like a bit of a challenge to some listeners, but Bey's "Bow Down," which she premiered today, is pretty subpar.



Is she even trying to make music people want to listen to anymore? I don't really know what this is, and I'm not really feeling motivated to figure it out.

On to the next one.

Beyonce & Destiny's Child's Super Bowl Performance Falls Short Of Madonna's In Viewership

The thing I was most excited to see during Beyonce's Super Bowl performance at the New Orleans Superdome was the reunion of Destiny's Child on stage. But even though they trio tore through "Booytlicious," "Independent Women, Pt. 1" and "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," the whole thing seemed a little underwhelming.

And so, my favorite thing about the entire 13-plus-minute extravaganza is the above screen grab.

All in all, Beyonce's halftime gig was watched by 100 million US viewers, which is about 14 million less than Madonna's record-breaking performance at last year's Super Bowl.

This Beyonce Post On Her BeyHive Stans Is Some Funny Shit

Everyone's favorite wig-snatcher Pop Trash Mike did this in-depth look at Beyonce's stans — called Inside The BeyHive — on Idolator for me, and it's the funniest thing I've read online so far this year.

A few highlights:

Not only do the Beys have their own unique lexicon (more about that later), their sting is legendary. A run in with the BeyHive reportedly made one Little Monster delete his Twitter and beg Lady Gaga for a ride in the Born Brave Bus to recover.

Matthew (@BeyoncesHubby), 20, from Fort Washington, New York, takes a slightly different approach: “When extremely irritating people come for Beyonce, I politely ask them to kill themselves.


*******

“When Wendy Williams’ oak-tree-lookin’ ass said Beyonce was illiterate, I dragged her until the bark fell off,” brags Jabari.

Do yourself a favor and go read. Now.

New Destiny's Child Song "Nuclear" To Appear On 'Love Songs' Compilation

As a nice cash-in just ahead of Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime performance in February, Sony's Legacy Recordings will release Destiny's Child - Love Songs on January 29, a “career-spanning collection of the most sensual and romantic recordings” from Destiny's Child that is “comprised mainly of romantic gems recorded between 1997 and 2004.”

But, tacked on as the last track is brand new song "Nuclear" — the first new Destiny's Child song recorded in nine years. Pharrell Williams (eyeroll) produced and co-wrote with DC member Michelle Williams (!), James Fauntleroy and Lonny Bereal.

Looking forward to hearing this new jam, but if it's half as ratchet as the cover art of this compilation, well, that will pretty much be destiny unfulfilled.
