On today's show, Wendy Williams shared a few words of wisdom about Beyonce's upcoming documentary, saying:
"I am a Beyonce fan. I'm gonna be watching this documentary cause fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I'll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyonce can't talk. Beyonce sounds like she has a fifth grade education. She can't talk. Honestly. We really do have the closed captioning for times like that."

Wendy spoke the truth
"...Jesus."
But yeah, much as I dig Beyonce...wasn't a lie.
When I worked in a dot com company in the late 90's we had a programmer that was really great at his job, but he smelled, swore like a sailor and on life matters was dumb as a bag of rocks. No one took him seriously, they couldn't put him into most offsite situations and always had to send another programmer to do that part of his job.
Years later now a married guy he regrets how he was when he was younger. He isn't that guy anymore an makes even more money, and is highly respected in his field. It's not about degrees and awards it's how you handle yourself, and what others take away from an encounter with you.
Money is not the only sign of success. i really like what you said!
I wish everyone could think like this.
Does one come off as more valid, for lack of better words, because he or she can speak in a grammatically correct manner? Absolutely. Am I impressed with a vigorous academic background? Certainly. But are there other types of intelligence that are equally as valuable? One may not, for example, be able to factor a polynomial or choose the proper tense all the time but how does that affect his or her ability to solve a practical problem? Are the people who lived pre-standardized formal education somehow less intelligent despite being able to survive a less understood world with fewer resources at their disposal?
The equating of formal education with intelligence and implicitly some level of worth only placates the insecure educated folk and those too lazy or rigid to think of the world in a multifaceted manner. With that said, speak your twang, forget to carry the 5, but keep demonstrating a knowledge of how people work, what they want, and deliver - I think you'll be just fine.
probably should've proofread - i care not

But seriously,this is how I get in interviews sometimes when idk how to answer the ? the best way
This woman has had a spotlight on her since she was 5 years old and can barely put together a coherent sentence.
She wouldn't even be on my radar if her marriage wasn't so pleasant to watch. The love those two seem to have for each other is quite honestly better than any music she or Jay Z has put out.
That is your opinion tho.
annnd, no.
and aside from all that, she's also an extremely good role model and she's very charitable. shes just a good person. it's just a plus that she's all fierce and can slay your life. js.
