Fanlistings

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject (in this case for Beyoncé) that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join.

There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.

Beyond Fierce

Why did I call this fanlisting Beyond Fierce? Well, the first reason is an admittedly-lame pun: beyond, Beyoncé, get it? Furthermore, one of the first words to come to mind when I think of Beyoncé is fierce, because that's what she is. Seeing as Beyoncé is so fierce that fierce doesn't even cut it, one could say that she is beyond fierce. Sasha Fierce is the name of her more outgoing on-stage alter ego, but since Beyoncé has later said she has progressed past needing Sasha, she is now also beyond Fierce.

Beyoncé has lived an interesting life and had an extremely successful career, so much so that her Wikipedia article is quite well-written and detailed. As such, if you're looking for a constantly-updated biography of her as a performer and a person, you should go there instead. ♥
