Why does Beyonce try hard to get this sort of publicity?
She always likes to paint herself with a saint image. The latest was this week when she ordered 200 Pizzas for the people waiting outside in the queue for her mini concert or whatever. Don't tell me she did it for the goodwill of the people waiting, it's all about the good girl image she has always tried to send.

Maybe she's just a pleasant person? She's not the first to buy food and drink for people outside of a concert venue.

So, you ask the question about why Beyonce buys pizza for fans, and when someone suggests an answer you don't agree with, you just call them naive and insist that you are right? Aren't you nice?

Why bother at all though if it's just for public perception?

She's not trying to counter any bad publicity, if she didn't do it, there wouldn't have been "oh Beyonce is such a bitch making people queue and not feed them"

It hardly gained any attention at all, other than a thread on here I've not read anything about it. The news I read from her show was about how she liked Eastenders and was mimicking the accents because she found them so funny, nothing to do with Pizza.

Don't really get where you are coming from, I don't think it's just an image, she's been in the industry since the late 90s and there are no stories of her being a nasty diva or being anything BUT the nice girl. I don't think it's an "image" she's not wearing it over her true self, I think she is just a nice person.

I am FAR from a B fan, but she seems nice enough (or dumb enough) to do that.It would be awkward for her fans, since they went there to greet her and they ended up with a free meal, but she wanted to please them and thank them and she chose this way

Thank you! I can't believe someone is moaning about a popstar taking care of her fans. But people always have something to moan about on this forum,especially when it comes to certain acts.

Maybe she did it to show her appreciate to her fans, for queuing for hours and she obviously thought they would be hungry, if you had to stand in the queue for over fours and you can't leave your position in line to buy food, then thank god there's people like Beyonce, who are generous to do this, it was a kind gesture and nothing more.

When people are kind, it doesn't make them weak or seeking an award for their good nature.
Even though I was in the queue and didn't get any Pizza, I still think it was very nice of her.

Noone would say that.She didn't have to feed them and noone else does that.Most artists deal with these queues multiple times a
day and she didn't make them queue.People knew she would be there and followed.

Hmmm.Not really She doesn't have the reputation of the nice girl 100%. What about her bashing LeToya and LaTavia to death, her stealing songwriting credits and make the composers hush about it, her being sued for stealing designs for Dereon, her breaking a contract with a video games company and leading them to fire a huge amount of employees and last but not least her firing a member of the staff while she's performing during her IASF tour (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uZz3mplca4)

Exactly, no-one would say it so why would she do it if she didn't want to..? This thread is the first i've heard of it so if it was for publicity, the idea has tanked..!

Hmmm.Not really She doesn't have the reputation of the nice girl 100%. What about her bashing LeToya and LaTavia to death
You mean when she thanked them whilst collecting an award earlier this year..? Bashing them that is

her stealing songwriting credits and make the composers hush about it
Yeah, Beyonce is the ONLY artist in the industry to do this..?

her being sued for stealing designs for Dereon
Was it proved that she stole the design, or if she knows about "E-Leggings", a huge name in design that everybody knows..

her breaking a contract with a video games company and leading them to fire a huge amount of employees
If they were having such huge financial issues, one game would not have saved the jobs of the huge amount of employees..

and last but not least her firing a member of the staff while she's performing during her IASF tour
You believe that if she would fire someone for that..? I think it would have been an unfair dismissal lawsuit against her name if she had fired someone for that..? Would the person she fired not have come out and said something about it..?

First Paragraph, read what I said.

Second paragraph is littered with internet rumours kept alive only by haters on forums like these.

You actually believe she fired someone? You need to get your facts straight before you start bashing someone. It was a joke and it lived up to her Diva image as part of the Sasha Fierce era. If you actually have seen multiple concerts, you'd realize this wasn't the first time it happened. So yeah, maybe once she'd let them get away with it, but if a member of staff can't do their ob, they should be fired. And so what if she gave out pizzas. She was thanking her fans for some of which whom had been waiting for 5 hours. It was a free concert and not all of them were guaranteed entry. And no, where has she bashed LaTavia? Her father was probably to blame for all of that. Even if she did, does that matter? Can people not change now??? In her award speech, she personally thanked BOTH of them.

It was FAR from awkward. Everyone on twitter was going crazy about it and people posting pictures of them eating Beyoncé's pizza as it had been dubbed. All the comments seemed to be positive.

Oh and not to mention the fact that she is always singing happy birthday to fans in concerts, giving them the mic. Did you see her at glastonbury?

Calm down!I posted my comment to show that she doesn't have the nice girl reputation that you mentioned.I don't believe that she fired someone and I don't believe she stole a design, I just gave you RUMOURS that affect the reputation you think she has.A nice girl doesn't have these rumours behind her.I'm not bashing her, I'm just saying that a lot of people don't see her as a good person.I didn't even state my opinion about her

And she thanked the other 2 members ONCE.She didn't mention them in the Thank U's of Survivor, Destiny Fullfilled or her solo albums.And she gave a really spiteful interview after the lineup change where she threw them under the bus spectacularly

It comes to something when you slag off an artist for doing something for their fans. This is such a non-thread.

The OP has issues. If it's not Beyonce or Alicia Keys, it's Rihanna he's desperately dissing...all of whom have one thing in common.:yawn:

It's really not a kind gesture when you think of all the saturated fat contained in a single slice.

I very much doubt the fans would have appreciated 200 salad boxes...

It would have sent a much more positive message though. She missed a trick there.
