Seoul, Korea
I'm a huge fan of Beyonce and I appreciate the fact that she came to Korea to give a concert geared more toward the Koreans but I think it would have been nice if she would have given a concert for the military members stationed here. The concert was in Seoul in the middle of the week but we have to work plus there is a curfew we have to follow. I've been in the military 13 years and its seems that most African American artists do not do shows for those overseas and I think thats sad. Hopefully that will change soon. Peace!
Beyonce
Beyonce, don't let the naysayers get to you. I am sure that there are very good reasons for the postponement. Postponing is different than canceling and I am sure that when the time is right you will put on a tremendous show for the fans there.sauce

Have Been Looking Forward to 25th Oct
Its very dissapointing that this happens.. First out of nowhere you have decided to come to Malaysia then at the VERY LAST minute, you cancelled. is it payback? teaser? why give us hope and crushes them?
like other is saying, we deserve the true explaination..think about the fans... how cruciating this is to them.. to me =(
Please come to Malaysia
Dear Beyonce,
Hi...I am your huge fan and other artist also such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and more. Actually I was preparing to attend Beyonce concert on 25 October 2009. Unfortunately, the concert was postponed. The reason I'm not sure yet. Now the most important part is most of the fans in Malaysia felt that Beyonce's concert ticket quite expensive. I said this because fewdays ago I went to refund for Rihanna ticket Live In Kuala Lumpur and I saw Beyonce ticket still remained a lot.....As a huge fan of Beyonce please support her....I hope from other country come here and attend her concert....I know maybe Beyonce feels that Malaysia is a Islamic country so she can't wear outfit out of Malaysia's rule. She was banned by Malaysia on 2007...So I hope this won't be happen again...Anyway, WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU, BEYONCE.....WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH....
very disappointed
i am a big fan of beyonces. i live in bangladesh, when i heard that beyonce was coming to malaysia i booked tickets online to fly to malaysia to see her. i even prepaid my hotel. i had to take leave from my work to come to malaysia. and now this is such a disappointment that the show has been cancelled now.
im very upset.......because i made so many arrangements!!!
still hoping you will do the concert.
you are also most welcomed to come to bangladesh and perform!!
love nadia
I Want To Know The Thruth ! :-(
Hi Beyonce ..
i hope to see u in malaysia ... thats the only reason why i travel from philippines to singapore to malaysia just to see u ...
it will be a dream come true if i was giving a chance to see or meet u in real ..
you've done a lot of things to me ... your my hero and my inspiration ...
thousands of people in malaysia including me are waiting for u to come ... im scared that maybe your not gonna have a concert again in asia ... this will be my last chance to see u perform ...
I love you Beyonce ... your such an inspiration to many people !!
GOD BLESS U ALWAYS
Awww...that sucks :(
Can You Imagine The Thousands Of Fans That Were Excited About It? I Mean....that was an awesome concert! I went twice in two different states! (Could I afford 2...of coarse not lol) How are those people suppose 2 see her in concert...ever? I say make another DVD!
But theres nothing like being in front row on the "B" stage and having her look down DIRECTLY at you and smile! She's Beautiful In So Many Ways Its Insane. What if because they're so strict and she performed there anyway her safety was in danger? I say Don't do it...Oh Well...Good Luck With That Malaysia! Lol

Keep Setting The Bar To Impossible To Follow Beyonce!!
BEYONCE PLEASE COME TO THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bey please come to my country... I dying to see the best performer live. Please you'll make my dreams come true... Love You
IT"S NOT FAIR!! Please don't postpone!
Dear Beyonce,
I know that the P.A.S people has been insulting you. But it's not fair for your fans in Malaysia! We have been waiting for you to come here for a very, very LONG TIME. I was so damn excited when my mum said that Beyonce was coming to Malaysia! We even bought the expensive tickets jst to see you perform. Please, don't postpone the show.. It was bad enough when you cancelled your first show. Now the second time, you're postponing the show??! While all the other countries got to see you perform, we get to see NOTHING.
I even made you a poster. I even shouted and screamed when I heard that you were coming. But then, you postponed the show and didn't even give us any apology. My cousins from Singapore bought tickets to see you perform, but you postponed the show.
Please, Malaysian fans are begging you on their knees, PLEASE DON"T POSTPONE THE SHOW! Please... I cried when the newspaper said that you were postponing the show. Could you please follow the dress code? People love you for your talent. Not for your dressing. Mariah Carey, Fergie, Gwen Stefanie and all the others had the same issues as you. But they got through it and the Malaysian's LOVED their concert!
All I'm trying to say is, don't postpone the show because of a bunch of fools that are getting on your nerves. Do the show for your fans, do the show for yourself, do the show for us..
So please, don't postpone the show..
~Iman~Malaysia~ hoping that you will be coming here:)
hope
Well, I only hope for the best.
Come To Washington DC Please!
I really wish you would come to DC so I can ask my mom to buy tickets. You don't know how big of a fan I am and I'm only 13 WOW I know!
Pls dont cancel..just ignore the minority...
Pls read here.. http://www.klubbkidd.com/2009/10/wtf-moment.html
pls do not disappoint them..they really work very hard for the concert in Malaysia...
This is a quote from the blog..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The bad news is... the show has been postponed."
When I said that, everyone just went dead quiet. No one was angry, upset or even anything even remotely close to those emotions I may have expected.
In fact from the hundreds of faces before me, it was nothing but sheer disappointment and sadness."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we still put our hope that u will come
Pls DON'T CANCEL!
Dear Beyonce,
Please don't cancel your trip to Malaysia. I have tons of friends who already bought tickets to your show!it is just not fair to us. i know you maybe be concerned about the "controversy" but rest assured that those people only represent the minority! The majority of us think its lame of this party to criticize you or your show. You put on a good show and your fans in Malaysia deserves to see it!Please don't be let down by few fools who are just a bunch of retards who can't think right! In Malaysia we are people of different race and religion-the people get along just fine even though we are of different faiths. So don't be fooled just by this one group of people. They do not represent the voice for the most of Malaysia!We your fans were let down when you canceled your gig few years back and for it to be canceled again it is just not fair to us.We love you and we love your show-so please do not let us down once again.Fyi many artist have come here and did just fine.Gwen Stefani came-yeah she face the same issues you did-but in the end everything went well.She put on a good show and the people loved it. I am sure the people here especially all the fans who have bought the tickets for your show is positive that you could put on a good show and put this issue behind us. Yes I know there is a dress-code you have to adhere to-but i hope you could still come-for the sake of your fans.We are rooting for you so please don't let us down.Don't let those bunch of fools scare you away!Your fans are here waiting for you.So please come.=)

Postpone?
I'm not sure the main reason why the concert has been postponed. i have waited for this like forever and was so excited about Beyonce coming here!!! Furthermore, i have few friends came over from Thailand and Australia just to watch the concert and they was so dissapointed when it has been postponed! OMG! I can't imagine how sad it was for them..coming here for nothing.... plus all the expenses...
Most of the fans are pretty upset u know...it's very hard to get the tickets and now...?
Please don't do this to us! Hope we will hear good news soon!

The Truth
We the fans in Malaysia deserve the truth. I really congratulate you Beyonce for deferring or cancelling on Malaysia. Stick to your guns but please
do not be too rigid. I've bought your tickets plus air tickets to get to your show. There's plenty of your fans who really lose out on air tickets and lodging costs
I would like to believe that you cancelled not because you didn't want to comply with the dress code regulations, but because those stupid protesters have insulted you by implying that you are immoral and your behaviour on stage would lead to unclean activities. Forgive them Beyonce, for they are damn bloody ignorant and hypocritical. They claimed to be upstanding pious people, but only a dirty mind would be affected sexually by your dressing & dancing!
Please bear in mind that those stupid so-called moral authorities do not represent the masses, and nor do we agree with their ideologies. Well, Malaysia do not need Beyonce to teach them immoral activities! So to PAS of Malaysia, stop pretending to be morally upstanding which you definitely are not because of your dirty minds!!!!!
Beyonce is triple-platinum in Brazil and Brazil It calls for a Diva Show!
Beyoncé comes to Brazil! The Brazil loves you!
As you do this with our hearts!
Brazil is crazy about you!
Your the Album "I Am .. Sasha Fierce!
It is triple-platinum in Brazil!
Do not let this love in vain!
The Brazil loves you very much!
Live @ the BrazilWantsBeyoncé

I Love !

PLEASE BEYONCE!!!1
COME TO MEXICO
WE LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
