BEYONCE: 'PEOPLE FOCUS ON MY GREAT LOOKS, NOT MY TALENT'

Superstar BEYONCE KNOWLES blames her beautiful looks for preventing people from seeing what a talented artist she really is. The former DESTINY'S CHILD singer has enjoyed a flourishing solo career and has had movie success starring in films including THE PINK PANTHER - but she still yearns to be respected as an artist. The 24-year-old says, "It's frustrating, because sometimes, when you are attractive, people don't acknowledge that you are talented as well. "I mean, I'm a songwriter, I'm a producer, I have a strong voice, I'm a dynamic performer. Sometimes people forget that."
