^Airbrush. Do you have that CD? I looked at other pictures in the jacket and she looks dark in the others.

It was a TMZ article It's actually quite tame, I was reading others written by black writers and they really ripped Beyonce a new one for that comment.

But Beyonce is definitely going for a race-less image, IMO. She's trying to appeal to white, black and Hispanic audiences, but she just ends up looking really strange. Half the time I mistake her for Mariah Carey, who is African-American and Euro-American, and Shakira, who is Spanish, Italian and Lebanese. But back in the day she actually looked black, because she was targeting African-American listeners. Now I feel like she's lost a lot of that realness.
