LMAO... reallyThe funny ? is, for all the people who are ? about her music selection, there are millions praising it. It comes down to making music the appease the smaller elitist traditional fans or making music for mass consumption. Personally i would say f u to the elitist fans because their taste is too picky for me plus smart artist never want to pigeonhole themselves, that's how you fall off or get boxed in.
You can say that about Soulja Boy too... he's first single was among the most suuccesful singles in history... millions praised and danced to it too -
Yeah, really. It was her least cohesive album and kinda fell apart towards the end.LMAO... really
And I don't see how you can say she isn't ecletic. Everytime she comes out she brings something new. She's even said she wantd to work with indie artists this go 'round. Like I said before, she isn't stucking doing the same ol' boring traditional R&B . She goes outside of the box each time. Whoever doesn't like it can stay inside the box with Alicia Keys and Keyshia Cole n them and suffocate in there. -

Really, I'm not bothered about her popularity and sales... good for her
Sasha Fierce had only one decent single IMO out of all the ? she released as singles and that was 'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)'... notice how that was her longest and biggest outta the rest
Like I said earlier... she's become a brand... and fanatic consumers can't tell good from wack -

Not even a close comparison, that mf is close to being braindead. Beyonces uptempo or comercial track serve a time and place, aint nobody tryna listen to no traditional r and b all day. I think she should continue to make the music she wants to make because we all know what's gonna happen if she would make a traditional r and b album, it wouldn't sell as much and the same mfs telling her to make traditional r and b would say she fell off. -

So that's it then?...
Look. If this chick decides to drop a gospel album tomorrow its gonna sell like mad, why? 'Cos she's made her name...
She doesn't take risks to me like say a Kanye West... and even when she does it seems outta place (that song with GaGa was rubbish)
If she puts out a traditional R'n'B record she'll still sell... -
Beyonce is the equivalent to Janet Jackson in the 80s and early 90s she has that it factor right now.

Get the ? outta here.. lol
She is more on level with J Lo... -

She for damn sure ain't on no 80's/90s Janet level but you gotta give her a lot more cred than J. Lo. I don't know even know why she got signed. -

You know damn well nothing is guaranteed in this game dude, look at Christina Aquiellera last album that flopped so bad, ? aint even ? 200,000 total. Nothing is guaranteed nowadays, why does she need to take risk, if she isn't your cup of tea then go find someone who makes the music you want. There are more than enough artist out ther who make traditional r and b if thats what you want. Everyone has their niche, i don't see people asking A Keys to switch her ? up or Mary J Blige. -
how can u say that when she just came out with "why dont you love me"........ beyonce.....im sorry her evolution is not the truthYall need to give the chick room to grow too, yall act like Whitney wasn't making "I wanna dance with somebody" and Diana Ross wasn't making "Im coming out". It's pretty obvious her music is starting to head into the more mature side with tracks like FLAWS AND ALL, HALO,etc. Overall i just don't think she will be one of those cliche sounding (baby why did u cheat, men aint ? , etc) type singers, she is bigger than being just a r and b artist, that's for mfs like Keysha Cole, etc.

beyonce built a fanbase where people actualy looked up to her respect her and adore her...now ppl just "look" at her i mean i geuss if u wanna call it "evolving" or "stepping" out of the box..the gurl is nowhere near able to drop a gossple album and have the fanbase that she would have if it was before all this rukus started...oh no not with that image and those videos listen to a track like "sweet dreams" or that telephone song she did wit lady gaga...religiouse ppl do not like things that are too confusing to understand..? is not one of confusion.... beyonces name is no longer beyonces name,,,she took that sasha fierce and raaaaan wit it to the point that that is what she is now...then she trys to go back??.... after doin all that...it seems to me like a bunch of crazyness goin on inside the head

She gets her props from me..
She connects with younger and the older crowd, not to many folks can do that male or female -

J Lo was every where during her peak, albums, movies and her clothing/perfume line.The only thing about J lo was she wasn't a chick that toured a lot. -
Na, I didn't notice. "Halo" is actually her longest charting single ever (almost 8 months).'Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)'... notice how that was her longest and biggest outta the rest -

I bet you wont hear that ? on radio in a couple years... -
I'm convince Beyonce is the measuring to some of you folks. Why not use India Arie,Jasmine Sullivan,Angie Stone,Janelle Monae,etc, oh yeah, nobody cares about them.

Yeah she is... and what she puts out most of the time is perishable -

Well, you've just stated what we all wanna hear... she's only making her music for the cash and not for classic ?Shizlansky87 wrote: »along with 100% of all music thats being put..

Nope, she puts out music that people want to hear, all artist make music for cash, that's why they sign to labels, put out videos and tour. I know you don't think they do it for free, Beyonce just happen to put out a product that people like. If she was grossly overrated, then people like Rihanna, Ciara, Keri Hilson,etc would all take her spot, but they can't, they can't do what she do.
