Vanity, ego, stupidity
23 February 2013 | by (Florida) – See all my reviews

Beyonce the Great had her name and hands on every bit of this production.

Do not waste your time on this.

I only watched because a friend wanted to see what a train wreck it would be, and it was.

I love how she set up the false interview situation, how she begged sympathy and empathy, how the intrigue with her father was a big nothing, and on and on.

Vacuous, egotistical, brainless. That's Miss B.

Unfortunately, that is now the role model for so many youth.
