Pleasant? Or unpleasant?

I'm not sure if this is one good news or not. It is extremely exciting to be notified that Beyonce will be coming to Kuala Lumpur on the 1st of November to throw a little show for her beloved local fans. However, if the controversy revolving Gwen's gig is showing sighs of more rules and regulations and tighter speculations and consideration, I'm pretty sure that similar oppositions will repeat. All these while I've been waiting for this to happen, and I hope that the best will occur, instead of the worst. Not long ago, Christina Aguilera, had toured in Thailand and Singapore, but missed Malaysia. Did she not get the approval from our national authority? Possibly, yes, since she's well known for the sex appeal. Will Beyonce suffer from the same predicament? The rule of covering from the top of the chest till the knees and the shoulders is rather ridiculous. Beyonce's famous for her booty-shaking and aggressive dances. Without the appropriate apparels, her show will flunk. But of course, her undeniable powerful voice swill somehow save it all int he end. Well, all in all, I'll just wait for further details to be released...

[Source] PETALING JAYA: Beyonce, one of the world’s biggest rhythm and blues stars, will perform in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 1.

Malaysia will be one of the stops, besides Thailand, for the award-winning singer’s debut appearance in South-east Asia.

Pineapple Concerts chairman Razlan Ahmad Razali said Beyonce’s management had agreed to stage a concert in Malaysia.

“We are now working out details, such as the terms and conditions and the venue,” he told The Star in an interview.

Pineapple Concerts is well known for bringing big bands into the country, including Earth, Wind and Fire and Grammy winner Kanye West earlier this year.

Beyonce Knowles, 26, rose to stardom as the lead singer of all-girl trio Destiny’s Child in the late 1990s.

She released her debut solo album in 2003 and grabbed five Grammy Awards the following year.

Beyonce’s latest album, B’Day, won her another Grammy this year – making it her 10th in all – in the Best Contemporary R&B Album category.

She has also won awards for hits such as Deja Vu (which she also recorded in Spanish), Beautiful Liar (a duet with Shakira) and Irreplaceable, and led the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards with seven nominations.

Beyonce has acted in several movies, among them Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Pink Panther and Dreamgirls.

Dreamgirls garnered her nominations for Best Actress in Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and Best Original Song (Listen).

She is also a songwriter, model, record producer, dancer and fashion designer.
