I'm a fan because I'm living vicariously through the success of such a talented and special woman named Beyonce...
I had the pleasure of seeing Beyonce up close last year--during a live morning show. It was so cold, so many of us waited so long for the show to start, standing outside in the street and finally, she was there with us all. Waring a beautiful little dress that looked awesome on her and made me feel like I was freezing even more. But, the girl was steadfast and true to her trade-mark of being a most professional fan-pleasing artist. She sat for that interview, stood up with her newly devised all-girl band and let us all have a wonderful time singing along with her songs and watching her do her thing on that stage. Her Mom was near by and being the very special woman she is was very pleased to share her daughter with all of us.
When the show ended Beyonce spoke to us for a while and sang still another song. As she strated to leave, I manged to slip around to the place I guessed she'd be using to exit the stage area. I got to be just a few feet away, sending her kisses and hugs as if she was my own daughter. I then realized that I saw myself in her... I was her--just for a moment--and as she focused on my purple jacket (probably wondering what an older woman was doing standing there with all those young people) she smilled, waved to all and was gone along with her Mom.
I've been following her rising career, via songs, videos, and movies. She becomes more and more of a star, yet still truly a lady. Her involvement with charities and other community oriented help is so very much her spirit and the person I feel she reallly is. She is so very special and inspires me to dream of what I might have been if I'd worked hard at it a long time ago. My favorite new song of hers is Halo, it really takes the prize; it's my heart and soul, & makes me feel so very young, again!
Sending more of those kisses, hugs, and best wishes to Beyonce!
