Check out Judicary Report this website always speak the truth.
Beyonce Knowles' new album entitled "4" has flopped, as did the first two copyright infringing singles from the project, "Girls" and "1+1." It was initially reported the disc would be pushed back, but it wasn't and now it has failed. 
Sony is going to lose a significant amount of money on the project, as they have spent millions on recording, video production, marketing, promotion, payola and bribing certain mainstream sites and blogs for favorable coverage, expecting a sure hit. 
The heavily promoted album is projected to sell 270,000 copies in its debut week. Her previous album "Sasha Fierce" sold double that amount in 2008, registering a reported 463,000 copies sold in the first week of sales. The second week fall off in sales for the album "4" shall be quite high, as said mainstream album opened with such a low tally, especially in comparison to its predecessor. 
This marks the first flop of Knowles' career and it is richly deserved, for her well-documented, chronic acts of criminal copyright infringement, in willfully, deliberately and feloniously stealing the intellectual property of others, for undue millions, awards and accolades, she is not entitled to under the law.

Montevideo, Uruguay

In the end of my freshman year/early sophomore year of college I made the easy decision to study abroad. There was never a doubt in my mind that I would not pursue this for a semester during my college years. Isn't that what hundreds of thousands of college students do each year? I have not done any research on this topic of college students studying abroad, by all means, but I'd imagine that it is quite popular throughout college campuses - in the United States. I had already had the opportunity to study abroad for a year as an exchange student in Cochabamba, Bolivia upon my graduation from high school. I loved it. I was hooked. I couldn't wait to do it again. My undergraduate university, SUNY Binghamton, has an Office for of International Programs and I knew that I could find a program for me. But I couldn't find the exact program that I was looking for - a semester in a Latin American country where I could study in Spanish. Now I can't remember exactly how I went about finding a university to help me get to my destination: somewhere in Latin America, but I did. I do know that I actually studied abroad through the Latin American Studies Southern Cone Program at SUNY Plattsburgh. Since both of these universities are in the same SUNY (State University of New York) system, it was easy for me to go through their program. I knew I wanted to study abroad, I knew I wanted to go to Latin America, and I knew that I wanted to go through SUNY (it was easier to transfer credits, deal with financial aid, etc.). So that's exactly what I did.  


I almost went to Chile. In fact that is where I had planned to go once I decided on the above stated program in the Southern Cone. So how did I end up in Montevideo? It turned out to be an easy choice. I knew something about Chile; Uruguay was unknown territory to me, much like Bolivia had been. My other option in this particular study abroad program would have been Argentina, but that is probably the most well known country in the Southern Cone of South America and being the adventurer that I am, that could not be an option for me. I wanted to go to a country that I knew nothing about. Again, that's exactly what I did. In the spring semester of my sophomore year, I went to study Anthropology and Spanish in the Spanish language in Montevideo for 6 months. I wasn't looking to learn Spanish because I already knew it; I was looking to improve and challenge myself.


One of the images that I distinctly remember that attracted me to Uruguay was the Casa Puebla in Punta Ballena (Punta del Este). Rest assured that I visited here. It truly is a breathtaking sight, especially at sunset. I'd say that this landmark attracted me to Uruguay much like the Teatro Amazonas later attracted me to Manaus.

I attended La Universidad Catolica del Uruguay in Montevideo where I studied a Portuguese language class (yeah! :), the History of Uruguay, Uruguayan Literature (very interesting and absolutely beautiful poetry, short stories, and novels), and an Anthropology class. Spanish and Anthropology were my majors in college. I did not want to miss out on my credits for my majors, as well as my minor in International Studies, so I made sure to keep myself on track in this aspect. Each of these classes was given in Spanish with the exception of the Portuguese class, taught by two Brazilian instructors, of which one still remains in contact with me today. My Spanish, which was already quite good, improved immensely and I even acquired the distinct Uruguayan accent. I had friendly, openhearted, and fun housemates. I made friends at school and with other international students, I dated a Uruguayan, and really got to travel like I never had before. It was an unforgettable, exciting time in my life.


I took a ceramics art class that I found through the university, I volunteered at a local English language institute (even participating in a workshop), I traveled to Buenos Aires a couple of times and around Uruguay with friends and housemates, and went shopping often. The exchange rate at the time was definitely in my favor, and as I had earned a scholarship prior to my departure, I think that my plane ticket only cost me $100. During my stay in Uruguay I visited Brazil twice - Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro - and this is where my love for that country grew. I learned how to make mate like a Uruguayan and my appetite for meat and Italian food also increased. 


I will always hold a special place for Uruguay and its citizens in my heart. I believe that I became even more independent during my semester study abroad in the Southern Cone and on a personal note I know for a fact that I grew as an individual. 


Uruguay, siempre te voy a querer mucho.

Don't Believe the Hype about Beyonce: More Bad Reviews album "4"

''My persuasion can build a nation,'' Beyoncé sings on ''Run The World (Girls),'' the first single from her new album, 4. She's speaking in broad terms, about the often subtle and unrecognized power women have in human society. ''Endless power, with our love we can devour.''




BeyoncéOn an individual level, however, Beyoncé hasn't quite proven she can build a nation. The New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones recently called Beyoncé ''America's Sweetheart,'' and noted she's practically milquetoast compared to the more transgressive Lady Gaga. That may be true, but Beyoncé is nonetheless decidedly difficult to take.


Some people find Beyoncé hard to relate to, given that at least in outward appearance she's known nothing but success in all facets of life since she was a teenager. (And she's only 29.) Her dogged pursuit to keep her private life private, while commendable in idea and execution in our reveal-all age, doesn't help her connect any better.


A more serious hurdle is Beyoncé's voice, which is too brittle and shrill for some -- at her most agitated she can sound something like a cat crying for its food. She often sings super-charged songs in a super-charged style. Regardless of whether it's a multi-instrumented syrupy ballad or a cacophonous amped-up jam, she generally shifts her voice to fourth or even fifth gear at least once.


And yet, for all the accelerated antics, she doesn't always win you over. Many times, there's an element of authenticity missing, as if it's all just a show.


Beyoncé attempts to sidestep that issue with 4. She's scaled back and toned down her sound -- and taken an intentional one-way detour back toward 20- and 30-year-old soul and R&B. It's a calculated move away from what we've come to expect from the former Destiny's Child leader, whose merger of hip-hop, dance, pop and a little old-school R&B helped pave the way to what we hear atop today's pop chart. (Maybe it was too calculated: ''Run The World'' peaked at No. 29 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, while follow-up single ''Best Thing I Never Had'' has already spent three weeks languishing at chart bottom.) Few songs on 4 come close to the pioneering pop of tried-and-true Beyoncé. Most are pleasant tunes, but they don't stick in your craw. They certainly don't break new ground; Prince, Earth, Wind & Fire and others got there first.


Beyoncé's slight shift to a more adult contemporary sound shouldn't be misconstrued as a sign toward maturity. ''And I'm gonna always be the best thing you never had,'' she taunts an ex on her new single as if she were a tween. ''I bet it sucks to be you right now.''


Kenneth Edmonds co-wrote ''Best Thing I Never Had,'' which sounds like a lesser version of the kind of tender R&B hits he had 20 years ago, recorded under his nickname Babyface.


Why did Beyoncé bother? What was her guiding philosophy beyond 4? It's not clear she had one. The album may start with Beyoncé pleading -- as sweetly, restrainedly as she can -- with her man to make love to her on the gentle ''1+1.'' But it ends with her leading a troop of women in one of the most aggressive, audacious anthems pop music has heard in a long time, ''Run The World,'' decidedly not a plea for a man's love. In between Beyoncé offers a couple other tender ballads, and a couple other wild, messy club-bangers, though nothing as exquisite or as exhilarating -- and certainly nothing that finds anything like a middle ground.


Perhaps if Beyoncé had actually worked with the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, the proceedings would have been more stirring. While recording 4 she reportedly spent a few days with the lively Brooklyn-based world music ensemble, which powered the percussive-heavy music behind the hit Broadway musical Fela! -- co-produced by Mr. Beyoncé, aka Jay-Z. Instead, the fiery drum corps-styled ''Run The World'' -- built around an M.I.A.-inspired dancehall sample -- and the samba-esque ''End of Time'' are about the only propulsive pleasures to be had. Both were co-produced with DJ/producers Diplo and Switch.

AND A HALFApparently, Beyoncé inundated her label with six times the number of tracks needed to make a full album. That fact has been touted by her handlers as a sign of how prodigious and inspired she was, but given the mostly ho-hum 12 tracks that make up 4, I can't help but think she wasn't inspired enough.


Take ''I Care,'' for instance. The song features nothing but Beyoncé and a sauntering bass beat in its verse, and a chorus that's almost as stunningly stark. But all charm is lost once we reach a bridge that leads to a cheesy '70s rock guitar solo, which Beyoncé then joins to create a peeling duet. The effect leaves Beyoncé singing directly to the listener and not just to her intended disinterested lover: ''I know you don't care too much, but I still care, la la la la la.''


Too bad she didn't care a little more.

Comment from another blog:

So her record label thinks if they hype this release to death, they can boost sales/convince the world it wasn't a failure? Sad. SMDH.

The first week projections are for 270K+ (actual sales could be lower, even if the record label ships this number to stores), and with an absence of hits, its only going to fall. The sales she got are from stans only (and not even all of them, since I heard she has 1 million + twitter followers, but not 1 million + projected sales). People who hated the singles are not going to suddenly like them just because she tries to be everywhere (which she already does). And really, the only people who will be checking for the promotion are the same stans who ran out and bought official copies the first day.

The fact that beyonce consistently under-performs compared to entertainers with less promotion and fanfare only prove she's flopping hard. The fact that she can't match her own previous chart performance prove she's flopping hard.

I don't think a video anthology and all the promotion in the world are going to rescue this project. Her stans will never admit it...they'll insist the coming promotion somehow proves shes a success. But, these are the same people who believe that two flop singles and low sales = hit album!

Turns out there are 8

And so it is....7 suitcases is not enough. It has to be 8. We've already had to make adjustments  as far as what, and how much, we can take with us. But now we have to do it again - in the sense that we had to buy another suitcase. We realistically cannot take all that we had planned in just 7 bags. Although we don't want to pay more for excess baggage (which in the end will fall on my employer), it's better to pay now than to later go in search of the perfect coffee maker (that we already own), among other personal belongings and household items.


I'd prefer to spend $100 now rather than have to go shopping in Brazil where everyone says that many kitchen appliances, for instance, are over priced and at the same time made of low quality material. And this way, moving with 7 suitcases, we should end up with a bit of extra space for more towels, bedding, shirts for me!, and other miscellaneous items that I didn't want to leave behind (i.e. Sebastian's comfortable bed. He'll need something from home, too). I just wonder how we're going to get this all to the airport. Thanks to our friend who will help us get there. We'll have 8 suitcases, 2 carry ons, 2 personal items, and a (crying?) cat. Wish us luck!


Back to our suitcases....each one cannot exceed 70 lbs or we'll be charged extra (which defeats the purpose of us having to add one more bag into the mix). So how do you know if your bag is the appropriate weight? Well, we know that our bathroom scale won't work because it's too small. Only the smallest suitcases will fit. So we've been taking our suitcases to our local grocery store (Publix) since they have a large scale for the public to use. With our first 3 weighed bags we were in luck. They were between 63 - 69 lbs (of course we added weight to the lightest one); however, the 4th weighted 91 lbs! I had to take out heavy items from that one and that's when we knew we need another bag. We'll have to reweigh that bag to make sure that it's no more than 70 lbs. 


So we've completed most our shopping and packing at this point (living in Orlando means outlet malls and shopping malls everywhere). We also have about a week and a half before we're out. I think we've sold our TV, we have a pending cancellation on our TV/Internet, we only have one car and one phone to take care of, I've cancelled credit cards, changed our address with the post office, and we've bought a new carry on bag for me. I learned the hard way that the bag I had planned to take as a carry on to Brazil will not work. It only has straps; I need a rolling piece of luggage, so that's what we bought. If I'm carrying a purse with a laptop and Sebastian, I cannot lug around a bag like I did to New York.  



I'll feel more relaxed once we have at least 6 of our bags packed, weighed, and waiting in the corner ready to be moved (we're about half way there now). This way I can focus on the smaller things as well as spending time with our friends, like the Girl's Night Out coming up this weekend. We're almost there folks! :)

The Real Beyonce album 4 Review one word FLOP!!!

THINK Beyoncé, and "mellow" isn't the first word that comes to mind. But on "4," the singer stifles Sasha Fierce -- her hip-hop alter ego -- for a collection of mild-child R&B tunes.
This slow-rider attack doesn't lend these tunes more depth, but does allow Beyoncé to showcase singing skills that range from soprano highs to her knack for shifting from growl to purr. As flexible as her voice is, it's wasted on songs that wouldn't stick in your head even if they were smeared with "Crazy in Love" glue.
"4" opens with the love ballad "1+1," a sleepy R&B piece that floats on subtle neo-soul strings and horns. If vocal elegance is the goal here, Beyoncé ruins the mood by jumping to high notes at the end of each verse, as if somebody had goosed her.

Kate Turning

Beyoncé's latest album will put you to sleep -- even the Kanye track! -- but a new electro-pop single by Selena Gomez (inset) will wake you up.

The CD snores on with "I Care," "I Miss You" and "The Best Thing I Never Had." By the time you get to "Party," featuring Kanye West and Andre 3000, you're ready for fireworks. But it's another dud, as Beyoncé breezily sings, "We like to party" without conviction. When you think "4" couldn't get worse, Beyoncé lays down "I Was Here," which can only be described as cheesy listening.
The lady finally puts a ring on "4" in the hip-pop jam "Countdown," and later with the Prince-esque "End of Time." Unfortunately it's too little, too late.

Wordless Wednesday: International Schools

As I'm moving to Brazil to teach at an international school in the country's capital, I thought I'd show a few  pictures of international schools found worldwide. I love the idea of an international (especially bilingual) education and I celebrate diversity, multiculturalism, knowledge, multilingualism, and peace.
