Beyonce Cheapens her Brand

I ran across this commercial on YouTube the other day. It's Beyonce dancing around for Crystal Geyser water.

What the heck is Crystal Geyser? U were thinking it, but I said it...and if you look in the back of the bottom shelf of your grocery store, right next to the generic store brand water, you'll probably see it there. *Note the Japanese captions in the commercial*

Make that money, by all means, Beyonce. But after advertising for DirecTV, American Express and Emporio Armani, I'm 100% sure Crystal Geyser water does not fit the luxury brand pattern.

I didn't even know Crystal Geyser sold enough bottles to afford Beyonce - that's all I'm saying.



(And if I'm Crystal Geyser, why would I want my product associated with a "beautiful nightmare", as the lyrics say?)

They were just talking about Beyonce today on the radio. Apparently she isn't selling enough tickets for her tours. They say it got so bad that Jay-Z had to go into his personal bank account to help the situation. Since she's gotten married she's been switching things up a little bit... I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But either way I'm sure she's be alright no matter what she does. She has VERY loyal fans!

I absolutely agree that this woman will be alright! (and im not sure if i believe she needed a bailout - from anybody, lol)
I didnt know she wasnt selling tickets, but I hope when they were doing prices they kept in mind that there are a lot of ppl out here with no jobs!
I hope they dont think fan loyalty will trump the recession...
Thanks for taking the time to comment; I appreciate it.
