Do you consider this woman ugly?

[Catherine Vincent]

I think she's cute, pretty, attractive or whatever. But the reason I ask this is because an attractive friend of mine said Beyonce was ugly. I said :wtf:? Now I know some people may not find her attractive but to actually call her ugly? I was puzzled. She never explained how or why she thought Beyonce was ugly.

Do any of you think this woman is ugly?

[wicket]

1. I think Beyonce is gorgeous!

n/t

[MotorCityMan]

15. So do I...

[Hubert Flottz]

2. NO!

She is very pretty, IMHO.

[Sequoia]

3. Photo not showing.

8. Right click on it, then View Image:

h ttp://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/5844/12905087_400.jpg (I put a space after the "h" so that it wouldn't drag on imdb's bandwidth.)

I would have to say...she is a bombshell.

[Sequoia]

58. The person who said she wasn't pretty must be jealous.

[LeftCoast]

4. No, but that dress is.

:)

[MotorCityMan]

21. Girfriend, stop!

That outfit... You just want to pour yourself into it and fall into a faint!

[Lerkfish]

5. she looks amazingly like a blue square with a question mark on her navel

:)

[Bucky]

49. Well, some of us happen to really go for that look

I am pleasuring myself to this image right now ==>

[wuushew]

6. how is this a political topic?

:shrug:

[Fridays Child]

13. This is GD. The topic doesn't have to be political...

...although some might say that this belongs in the Lounge.

[Catherine Vincent]

34. It's not but I figure I'd give it a shot since GD gets all the traffic.

But it's moved to the lounge now. I never understand a thread about someone's pet dog that died stays in GD but this one gets moved to the lounge. Whatever.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

55. Hey! We're voting here!

so, sorta political :rofl:

[kedrys]

7. Uh, no...

Not even close to ugly! She looks beautiful, charming, and smart.

[Monkeyman]

9. No

[Horse with no Name]

10. Ugly? Beyonce?

OMG she is gorgeous.
I'm straight and she makes my heart skip a beat.

[H2O Man]

11. She looks like

an "x" inside of a square box inside of a square box.

[Sapphire Blue]

17. That's what she looks like to me, too.

:shrug:

But I think Beyonce is beautiful!

[H2O Man]

22. She looks

a little like our old friend Malcolm to me. I like that look.

[Sapphire Blue]

24. Now, that's a very good look.

:thumbsup:

[gollygee]

12. Somebody thinks she's ugly?

how bizarre

[Sammy Pepys]

14. She's alright...

I don't think she's amazingly hot or anything, though.

[noamnety]

16. ugly by which cultural standards?

beauty seems to me to be artificially constructed. :shrug:

[Beaverhausen]

18. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

I think Beyonce is gorgeous.

I think Paris Hilton is a dog, as is Penolope Cruz. But others will differ.

[CatWoman]

19. she's not ugly, but I'm tired of looking at her

and hearing about her.

I've always considered Kelly to be the best looking one in that group.

Kelly had the best figure of the 3, too.

[Catherine Vincent]

40. Beyonce fatigue eh?

:)

[philosophie_en_rose]

Kelly had the best voice, too.

I always thought Kelly was the best looking. And she didn't need half the makeup or wigs that the others did.

[Demobrat]

20. I can't see the pic, but ...

Beyonce? Ugly? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. It's fixed now.

[Mr. Ected]

23. Beauty Is In the Eye of the Beholder

...and I be holdin' her poster in one hand right now.

[Mr. Ected]

25. Who's Your Friend? One of the Other Two Chicks from Destiny's Child?

Reminds me of the other night, when Justin Timberlake was supposed to perform with someone unknown.

Like the other members of N-SYNC.

[Contrary1]

27. No way. She is a beautiful woman!

Maybe all African American women are "ugly" in your friend's opinion???

[Catherine Vincent]

36. I hope not.

My friend that said this is Thai-American, who is pretty, imo. I was shocked when she told me that.

[AnneD]

50. Beyonce....

is the product of the Houston Independent School District and we have known her and her family very well. She is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out. She uses talent from our preforming arts high school and gives other kids a chance, she get's nervous when she tithes to the church and writes so many zero's on the check, when she is give the choice of preforming at the hometown SuperBowl or singing the National Anthem immedietly said 'It's a greater honour to sing the National Anthem' and does-forgoing major national exposure.

Her family still shops around here and we see her mom every few weeks at the fabric shop and she is a great person too. Her Dad is trying to build a studio to promote local talent. They keep her grounded. We have a lot of respect here for her and her family.

And Cat girl-I think your friend is confusing Tiger Woods ancestory with Beyonce. I know of no Thai ancestory (at least from the parents).

[ceile]

54. Did she go to HSPVA?

I didn't know that.
I think the poster was refering to his friend as Thai-not Beyonce.

[AnneD]

57. She did go there for a while....

but I think she graduated from Alief. My daughter goes to PVA and once you go there-your PVA always-even if that is not what your Diploma says. It is a tight knit school.


Edited to add-She's Creole.

[Catherine Vincent]

56. No, it's my friend that is Thai-American.

And I thought Beyonce attended schools in Missouri City, TX?

[AnneD]

62. I don't know about Missouri City....

I know she went to HSPVA and later Alief-which is close to Missouri City. One of the other girls in Destiny's Child went to HISD too (my friend taught her).

[H2O Man]

28. Now I can see

her photo. I have no idea who she is, but she is certainly not "ugly."

[Catherine Vincent]

38. Her name is Beyonce Knowles.

She was previously the lead singer of the group "Destiny's Child". She's from my town....H-town. :hi:

[H2O Man]

42. "Destiny's Child"

Okay. I'm thinking one of my younger children will know of this group.

[Kerrytravelers]

29. Hardly.

Everyone's idea of what is beautiful is different. However, I question the calling of someone ugly. What exactly is ugly?

[TheCowsCameHome]

30. Not hardly.

[RedStateShame]

31. Is it, perhaps, because your friend is, in fact, not ready for that jelly?

[Catherine Vincent]

39. Okay, now what does that mean?

:)

[RedStateShame]

41. Hey, I didn't write "Bootylicious." I'm not quite sure.

It probably means there aren't enough words that rhyme with ready.

I don't think you're ready, you're too heady...

I don't think you're ready for this, Geddy,...

I don't think you're ready, Estelle Getty...


I got nothin'. :shrug:

[wicket]

44. She used it in a song referring to her ample figure

She's certainly not fat - bones are for dogs! :D

[wicket]

43. LOL

:D

[RedStateShame]

46. You're encouraged to sing the Estelle Getty line the next time you hear this song...

...as are all DUers. Go ahead and confuse your dance partner.

[smalll]

32. She's not ugly, but she is overrated, looks-wise.

The media constantly tells us that she's "all that and a bag of chips" and I think people buy into that hype.

She's an attractive woman, certainly. I have to admit, though, I've often thought her face has something Muppet-like about it.


Scooter (not Libby)

[LostInAnomie]

53. I agree

I wouldn't kick her out of the bed, but she is no way near a hot as she is hyped up to be.

Once again though, I most definitely would not kick her out of bed.

[crim son]

33. Ugly? No way.

I think ugliness is very rare.

[devilgrrl]

35. I wish I was as "ugly" as Beyonce...

:eyes:

[Omphaloskepsis]

37. She is Hawt!!! N/T

[jilln]

45. She's hideous

Selling skins torn from electrocuted, gassed and beaten animals for money. Nothing uglier than profiting from animal abuse.

[Bucky]

47. She reminds me of that comment about Catherine Deneuve: so pretty she's boring

Cute, but too much make up on. There's really nothing there that makes her face memorable. She's pretty in a classic way, but not stunning. Her face is too perfect, too balanced.

[RedStateShame]

51. Her face?

Judging Beyonce by her face is like judging the Rat Pack by Joey Bishop.

[Bucky]

59. !

Only a photo of her face was posted. I'm too much of a gentleman to judge a woman by her body.

I judge them by how they eat ice cream cones.

[Madspirit]

48. She's lovely...

...as far as traditional classic looks go. I don't know her personality, so don't know if SHE is pretty and I tend to be attracted to more offbeat looking women but your friend is nuts.
Lee

[ceile]

52. Beyonce is SMOKIN'!

Your friend is just jealous.

[fladonkey]

61. She is absolutely....

beautiful and has a stunning figure. Look at her Mom.

[Redstone]

60. Even if she did not have the dark skin and eyes (which are a weakness of mine), she'd HARDLY

be ugly.

Redstone

[Crabby Appleton]

63. Nope, not ugly, about as far from ugly as you can get. nt

[SeattleGirl]

64. Hmmmm....if Beyonce is your friend's definition of ugly, I wonder

who would represent their idea of pretty.

No way is Beyonce ugly.

[Burma Jones]

65. Don't know, haven't ever talked to her

[Wapsie B]

66. Good lord she's beautiful.

She's what I imagine an angel to be.

[ikojo]

67. I think Beyonce is very pretty.

I don't know what kind of personality she has but on the outside she is hardly ugly.

[hippiechick]

68. She's not ugly but she certainly isn't worth all the hype ...

... the clock is ticking on her 15 minutes, too ...

[Rob H.]

69. Does your friend also bump into and trip over things a lot?

She obviously needs glasses, because no way is Beyonce ugly.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

70. She'd be beautiful...

If she didn't like herself so much.
Duckie

[SammyWinstonJack]

71. No.

[Norwood]

72. Shes a babe!

Whats your friend smokin?!

[philosophie_en_rose]

73. I wouldn't say she's ugly, but I don't think she's attractive. She looks unnatural.

Her eyes are very dead-looking and she looks like she has a moustache shadow.

But I think she just looks really fake and manufactured. Just like her voice.

I don't think she's ugly, but I think her fashion choices (and fake hair) make her look bad.

[Shell Beau]

74. Ugly? Of course not. Maybe not some people's type, but

I would never call her ugly. In fact, she is quite pretty.

[Drum]

75. Impossible to tell with the stars...

I personally reserve my verdict util I've seen a woman soaking wet and without any makeup....

[Taverner]

76. Nah she's a hottie

[SPKrazy]

77. No, She's Gorgeous..

:loveya:

I'm not a big fan, but she is not an ugly or unattractive woman by any stretch of the imagination :wtf:

your friend is :crazy:

[ronnykmarshall]

78. I love B!

I think she's the bomb!

[edbermac]

79. HOT HOT HOT!!! The best thing in Austin Powers Goldmember.

Very shagadelic, baby!

[Scarlett17]

87. Gotta love Foxy Cleopatra

[elfrangel]

80. No Way!!!

i love the fact that she is a CURVY woman and not some bone thin anorexic. Add to that her voice and OMG! She's fabulous!

[S n o w b a l l]

81. She's beautiful...

there's not many people I would consider ugly unless it's referring to their character.

[Cabcere]

82. I think she's pretty.

:shrug: Like someone else said, I'd love to be as "ugly" as Beyonce, lol. :P But yeah, I think she is pretty.

[sakabatou]

83. Ugly? Hell no!

[Karenca]

84. She's beautiful.

And she's got a fabulous body.

[Scarlett17]

85. Beyonce is hot. . .

and I don't use that word for other women on a regular basis. She's gorgeous! Your friend is batshit crazy. Or just really jealous.

[QMPMom]

86. She's freaking gorgeous!

[liontamer]

88. Looks are subjective

Just because someone fits a current media standard, doesn't mean everyone is obligated to find him/her attractive.

[aein]

89. ugly is in the eye of the beholder

[Broken_Hero]

90. No, she looks very beautiful to me, :) nt

[REP]

91. That's Not Even A Great Photo of Her

I usually don't see what's so great about the flavor du jour (see Angelina Jolie and her revolting lips) but even I think Beyonce is quite pretty.

[uppityperson]

92. Too much makeup, not enough person.

Other than that, ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I don't know this person so can't say beyond too much makeup in this picture.

[Fran Kubelik]

93. She is beautiful.

[Jamastiene]

94. Your attractive friend may need to take a second look

or break down and try some glasses. There is no shame for a person to admit they are having trouble seeing. I know that has been the case with me lately. Your friend may need to either take a good second look, have their eyes checked or have some splaining to do, because Beyonce is gorgeous.

[SKKY]

95. She's pretty hot. I'd hit it.

[leeroysphitz]

96. Beyonce Knowles is clearly very bootylicious.

All right thinking people say so.

[ganeshji]

97. Million dollar body with a ten dollar brain.

The few interviews I've seen her do did not necessarily emphasize her intellect, but she is pretty all the same.

[gravity]

98. I bet your friend was just jealous

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

99. You got lucky

and found a nice picture of her. Ugly: naw. Okay: yeah. She's really not all that. IMO

[pitohui]

100. she has a pretty face but...

i've heard people say the way she treated other member of her group was ugly, maybe that's what your friend meant
