Well the fact Beyoncé left with Solange in one vehicle and JayZ on his own in another vehicle, could be that Beyoncé was siding with Solange


Well after this incident now everyone knows who Solange is, great media exposure for her

Even before this video Solange wasn't known for having the same diplomatic skills as her sister.

If the video had never seen the light of day, none of us would be considering this at all. It seems from their reactions that they are used to this ie Beyonce just standing in the corner waiting for it to blow over and walking out with a Hollywood smile like nothing never happened.

If the super bowl blind item is anything to go by, then the Carters are no strangers to sorting out their differences by shouting at each other Jeremy Kyle style, even in the presence of their child. I read somewhere that the day after the "incident", Solange and Jay Z were jewellery shopping the next day. The weekend after, they were at some game where Jay Z was being a doting uncle to Solange's kid.

I'm not saying it's right but even the most "high class" people have their problems and can behave like chavs. I find their behaviour in this instance more shocking because Beyonce always projects an image of perfection and I'm not the only one to pick up on this.

I think that Beyonce has dug a hole for herself. Her public image is based on projecting the image of perfection. She has set herself up to be the perfect singer/performer/mother/wife etc and perfection is a standard that no one can live up to full time. Sure you can have periods in your life when everything goes well but there will always be times when everything goes to sh!t and I think the Carters are experiencing one of those times now's.

It's not a problem I have to incorporate into my everyday life but I do think that if I was ever internationally famous, I wouldn't draw attention to my personal life because no matter how much I tried to control it, I know that when the sh1t hits the fan, everyone would be out to get me.

It's nobodies business what happened in the elevator and based on their behaviour afterwards, it wasn't a big deal for any of the people involved. Had the video never come to light, no one would have suspected and no one would have an opinion on it. Because of the video the internet is getting it's cyber knickers in a twist.

While on the one hand I respect the rights of a celeb to have a private life, on the other, where do you draw the line? Who sets the boundaries? The media
or the celeb? Take someone like Kate Moss. She is always in the papers but I've never seen a picture of her daughter without her face blurred and I have no clue what she looks like. Because Kate never talks about her daughter, there is no interest in her.

On the other hand you have the Carters. I know they are supposed to be private but if you lined up ten infants, I could easily pick out Blue Ivy no problem and that is not because of paparazzi shots, it's because her parents have put her in the position where she is being judged by the public (that and the fact the she looks like a replica of Jay Z :P)

Anyways I have rambled on enough and probably made less sense. Given that two weeks passed between the elevator incident and how they are expected to react to this, I think it has been blown out of proportion.
