Last nite my girlfriends drove around aimlessly trying to find something to do...why? we weren't supposed to be plan-less coz we were supposed to be watching Beyonce in concert...we've been really huge fans since the first Destiny's Child album came out and when we heard that you were coming, we bought our tickets the second day of release...we were pretty much indenial when the announcement of the postponement came...we're still trying to understand the reason behind this but there's no update or even a statement to console your Malaysian fans...i do hope that you won't do a Rihanna and cancel the concert altogether...if Mariah Carey made it here when everyone made a fuss abt her appearance, i don't understand why you can't...please don't disappoint us B!

i once said to my sister that the only concert that i wud attend are Beyonce and Mariah Carey.. i was happy like hell when i first heard that u r coming to kl.. we (3 of us ) sisters went to buy the best seat for ur concert.. we wont mind paying few hundreds for once in a lifetime experience..watching u perform live is like a dream come true.. my sister went to singapore to see u perform and for the rest 1 month after that she kept talking on how great were u..

i waited and waited for 25th oct to come, countdown day by day until rumors started spreading so fast about you cancelled ur performance.. i checked online on news about it but i did not find any evidence.. so, i thought it is just rumours.. i dun want to believe it unless i read it myself and it was confirmed. the following morning, when i open my yahoo news, i was surprise to read that the rumour is actually true.. i was so devastated.. OMG.. i felt like crying.....the long awaited day will never come.. my dream seeing u performing live will never come true.. ive been waiting for ur live performance my whole life and it hurts when I came to know that you are not coming..
yesterday, was supposed to be the day that i can see u in person.. the most memorable day of my life. to make us happy, our radio played ur live performance.. i listened to it while crying.. i couldnt held the sadness and disapppintment in me..
pls come for the sake of ur die hard fan... and dont cancel it

love,
broken hearted girl

I am supposed to be with you at the concert right about NOW.

-OMG ice-cream truck, BRB-

:-(

I know, it kinda hurts, but guys, maybe Beyonce delays this cause of her new clothes, that didn't show cleavages, and Thierry Mugler was still making those clothes. Maybe, not confirmed. I have some responses to all you guys who post a comment

I AM SASHA B****
Its clear that you buy I Am... Sasha Fierce only for show Beyonce how much you adore her. The thing is that you said you regret for buying the album. You buy the album not because loving her musics, just for show how much you love her, and those love are EMPTY after she delays the show.

Hello Beyonce hope you're reading this.. It was sad to hear that your 1st stop in KL canceled.. but its ok. When me and my friends heard the news on Sept '09 about BEYONCE having World Tour here.. we can't stop screaming and we were so looking forward to catch you live in concert. We have your I Am.. Sasha Fierce Platinum Edition album, the concert ticket, ready to dress up and to enjoy our best night.. and then suddenly rumors started spreading everywhere that the concert gonna be postponed and now canceled? just because some of the Malaysians having problems with your outfit and for that, have to cancel the concert? if yes, we are so disappointed and ashamed.. majority of us are so excited that you're having world tour here. No matter what or how you're offended, please forgive and forget.. We STILL LOVE you in any way. You're the true talented-star.

Although it's all over now, I would like to say that I was waiting to sit front row ( yes my parents bought me front row tickets as my bday present!!) to see you, and yes I was even gonna wear my new top from House of Dereon, I had ordered online..sigh..

It saddens me that your fans are turning their backs on you.. I'm not saying that I will. Am still gonna be your fan..just a very devastated one. I do hope to see you again one day. And trust me, even if you were covered from head to toe, you would ROCK the rock the roof upside down!

Laughing out loud

This may just be another insignificant comment but I hope it helps .
I am one out of thousands of fans who are anticipating your show. Please do not cancel your show no matter the reason. I bet our goverment had smthing to do with it. With all due respect I get that we are a Islamic country but to ban artists form coming and setting up such tight rules is absolutely ridiculous. If you dont want to expose us to as you say it vulgar things you should have just banned them from our tv , radio and internet but yet we still get the influence and what is the difference ? just because we are going to see it live does not make it any difference. Open your eyes the people in our country have had enough influence and seeing you live is not making any difference. This comment might be confusing as i am confused myself whether or not this is for Beyonce or our politicians but nonetheless I am here to BEG you to come. Don't pay any attention to the people who've criticed you in their cmmnts they are just upset and couldn't find anyone else to blame and i bet they are still anticipating your arrival ! PLEASE COME BEYONCE ! COME ! and do your show .

or I'll start a petition to get you to come Laughing out loud

I guess a lot of fans in Malaysia are confused about you now.
We don't know who you really are.
Just like the album title "I am ... Sasha Fierce".

Seriously, your fans are the real people get hurt deeply.
The organizer said it was your personal issues, no other reasons.
We also doubt it, but we still don't know what's really going on.

It is weekend already. No any further information is announced.
I just saw the tour pics which my friend took in Beijing just now.
Do u know how painful I am?

Postponed indefinitely?
What does it mean?

At this time, I don't want to blame any people. It's just useless.

Please give us a true reason.
And if it is really the cancellation, please just say it. Otherwise, it will get worse.
Please wake your fans up, if it is just a dream, my dream girl.

this was extracted from a newspaper article (NST)... :

The fiasco over the postponement of diva Beyonce Knowles' anticipated maiden show on Sunday has reached a new low with industry sources claiming that it is a calculated sabotage by some parties to protect their own interests.

"Beyonce and her team have been given a misinformed picture about Ma-laysia to scare her away," a source said, adding that the scenario was stickier now because it had become a cut-throat competition to put one country on the world entertainment map.

The dress code and Pas Youth protests played a minor role in this ruthless game, the source added, "but they helped fuel the fear".

Minor role? excuse me ! people of malaysia..please react to this so called party!

At this point of time...we are just asking you to be honest to us in Malaysia, let us know the real reason you decided to 'postpone' ur 25th Oct concert in KL.
Dress code?
Protests around the concert venue?
Local Organizer at fault?
Tickets sales not satisfactory?

Let us know.

We felt deceived, cheated and fed with lies by your Management and the local Organizers of ur supposedly upcoming concert tis 25th Oct here in KL.
You've pulled tis stunt about 6 days prior to your concert. We were excited when it was announced that you've agreed for a stopover in KL for a concert. and tis was fuel up with lots of promotion over the local radios and printing ads for past weeks. the so-called PROTEST by certain group of people have actually died down and was not even in the local news. WHY the sudden change of mind??
Statement above have just confirmed to us that it was not just a postponement. It is a CANCELLATION!
Black Eyed Peas just performed in KL prior to their F1 concert in Singapore without any problems! No Protest outside the venue at all. I know cos i was there. It was the ultimate party concert of the year.
Lots of people actually flying to KL from afar for your concert. They bought their flight tickets and booked hotel rooms.
You have just confirmed their concern: not worth the money because it will be cancelled in the last minute. No one will ever buy ur concert tickets anymore even if you planned for another date cos we are all scared u gonna bail on us again.

Beyonce, I'm not really surprised you're not coming. Malaysia is supremely infamous for unnecessarily banning celebrities. I was, however, surprised you said it's because of personal issues( doubt that is true )

I was counting the days to your concert and suddenly..it's postponed. Sure I, in fact all your fans, were devastated, but you will still be my idol.

Well, better luck next time,fans !

Here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I27secKWfDo (copy and paste in your browser guys)

You're all alone, and I did this
I got no one else to blame
You didn't know I was a risk
And it's such a crying shame

How you gave me all of you
And wanted nothing else from me
But to make some time for you
But all I made you was lonely

I couldn't see but now I know
That I acted selfishly
I should've known that I let you down
Caused you so much misery
Forever to bleed,
Forever to bleed
Forever to bleed,
Forever to bleed

I should've been there,
I should've been there
I should've been there,
I should've been there

All of the times you used to cry
Because I would let you down
I'm losing time, I should've tried
A little more to be around

But I didn't know you that were hurting
I was just too blind
Only thing I know for certain
Another you I'll never find

I couldn't see but now I know
That I acted selfishly
I should've known that I let you down
Caused you so much misery
Forever to bleed,
Forever to bleed
Forever to bleed,
Forever to bleed

I should've been there,
I should've been there,
I should've been there,
I should've been there.

I'm filled with regret, I'm gonna tip
And soak myself in misery
Now in your life I'll take more time
No more yearning without me

But it hurts to think of you
All by yourself and now I see
And I apologize for all the times
I left you home waiting for me

I couldn't see but now I know
That I acted selfishly
I should've known that I let you down
Caused you so much misery
Forever to bleed,
Forever to bleed
Forever to bleed,
Forever to bleed

I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there

I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there

-OMG ice-cream truck, BRB-

Whatever it is you have in mind, Beyonce, please don't cancel it. Please. Please. Please. We Malaysians have waited for you too long. It's true what they say, we're in love with your voice and your talent, not that sexy appearance. If you show up in tights, we will still love you no matter what. It's just you that matters. I'm still not giving up on you yet, I'm still holding on to your ticket. Trust me, you won't regret performing here in Malaysia. All the fans here love you because of you, not your looks. Even Sean Kingston says so, we love him because of his music. Linkin Park and Simple Plan also says we're the best fans in the whole world. We're energetic. And do you know we also organize a flash mob dance just for this event? See how excited we are for you to come! You won't regret it. Trust me.

-OMG ice-cream truck, BRB-

I propose that Malaysian Radio and TV should stop playing any Beyonce's songs or movies indefinitely. It might not cause a dent in her career but it's more of our way of saying we are not be taken for granted again.

My heartiest congratulations to you, dearly beloved Beyonce, for fooling us, Malaysian fans TWICE. You know what they say.."Fool us once, shame on you.Fool us twice, shame on us". Yeah..we're a bunch of fools for getting our hopes so high just to let it fall hard to the ground. You know, I was very disappointed when you cancelled your 2007's Beyonce Experience show in KL. Back then I thought "It's the government's fault for imposing stupid dress code on such a beautiful figure like Beyonce". Fine.

Then, came the news of you performing here in Malaysia in October 2009 several weeks ago. I was elated, excited, over the moon..etc when I first heard the news on radio. A few days later, when the organizer announced that the pre-sale was open, I quickly placed my reservations to get the best seats. I was happy..yeah HAPPY like everybody else. I even bragged to my friends that I am going to your concert, watching you performing 'live' from the best seats in the house.

The bad news arrived. Your concert has been postponed INDEFINITELY and the decision came from you, not the Malaysian government. Do you know what I felt at that time? Nothing. I wasn't upset nor outraged. A bit mad, maybe but not at you. Mad at myself for being such an idiot. In fact, I was thinking that all your Malaysian fans who bought the tickets are bunch of idiots.

Why? Because we didn't learn from the past! We failed to learn from what had had happened to us in 2007. We were being careless. We were being hasty. We rushed to buy tickets and forgot the possibility of cancellation of your concert in the eleventh hour. We love you unconditionally, so much love it blinded our eyes to see that the love we thought we shared with you was actually one-sided.

We Malaysians know who we are. Malaysia is just a tiny, unknown multiracial country in Asia and Malaysian fans contribute only a small fraction from your millions of fans worldwide. The recent platinum sale of your album in Malaysia is nothing compared to the platinum sale in the US. Concerts held in Malaysia would not generate much money. It would be a waste for you to perform here when you can perform in other countries with bigger population in which you can sell more tickets. Oh and Malaysia has this stupid dressing rule for performers. Changing your wardrobe would be the last thing in your mind, I bet. In a nutshell, we are insignificant to your eyes

If that's what you think of us, I've nothing more to say.

I wish you well. God bless.

Beyonce dear, if you're reading this, please take into consideration of your fans in Malaysia.
This is the SECOND time you have bailed out on us and frankly speaking, I am getting so freaking tired and fed up with your disappearing act. I was elated when news of you coming arose and again, I made my ticket reservations to see a bright star in action.
yet, the so-called beyonce's ''1st time in Malaysia'' concert is again a no-show and though many people are pointing fingers at each other, I feel that Beyonce should the very least release an official statement to us fans. I think you owe us that much. We are kept in the dark of why is the event cancelled again and rumours are swirling about with no (or maybe there was) truth in it.
In a nutshell, I can't be bothered again with why or when are you coming. I have to go get my refund, thanks to you and if you can't make it this time, I really hope you'd think long and hard before you even think of having another concert in Malaysia.
Fans maybe awestruck but they are most certainly not dumb.

Yet again Beyonce has decided to get her Malaysian Fans all excited, after years of supporting her from her Destinys Child days, only to have let them down. First time canceling on the fact she didnt want to follow the dress code rules. And now for the second time citing the reason of no profit and dress code rulling...
Seeing as how Beyonce always thanks her fans for her success, i find it hard to believe she means it. Is it too much to ask for you to wear something that covers your navel n knees? I mean if Gwen Fergie and Avril could do it, why cant you?
OR is it because your afraid people wont see you as the great artist you've mould yourself to be without having on skimpy clothes? We are in love with your voice and dance moves. If all we wanted was skimpy clothes we'd just watch you on tv.
If your not gonna keep your words by saying you'll perform in our country dont give us false hopes... And the least you could do is send out an apology.. Even that has not been done. You trully a a piece of work.
I WAS a big fan of your music and of you as an artist, As for now, just let me say thanks for the great writing skills.
