It was only a matter of time, but Beyoncé’s performance at this year’s Grammy Awards was bound to incite reaction among shocked viewers. Media sources report that the British newspaper UK Metro printed a story featuring the following headline: “‘Wh~re’ Beyoncé angers parents with raunchy act.” The story, which ran earlier this week, quoted Grammy viewers who were taken aback by Beyonce’s s~xually-charged performance of “Drunk In Love” alongside her husband, Jay Z.
In addition to throwing the word “wh~re” around, the Metro quoted parents who labeled the songstress “trashy” and “classless.” The feedback is among a string of critical jabs thrown Beyoncé’s way for her performance, which featured her by spreading her legs on a chair. Among those voicing their outrage was Mandy Flores, who reportedly wrote on Facebook:
~“Aren’t u a mother now!!? Thought u had class, how trashy and I couldn’t even let my 8 year old watch. U have never done anything like that! So disappointed.”
~Another viewer named JJ Boogie echoed his disappointment via Twitter: “Opening Grammy song performance inappropriate for young children. Thank you Beyoncé. #ChannelChange.”
~As for the “wh~re” comment, that belonged to a woman who’s observation was short and sweet regarding Beyoncé, who she said looked like a “wh*re on stage” at the Staples Center in LA.
