To this day, I have no idea what the song is about. All I can think about is how hard she is trying to be sexy in the video.

Her singing is ok, her acting sux.

Other than that..... artist of the decade???? Hell nawwww!!!

we'll see if people are playing Single Ladies or Irreplaceable 20 years from now. I suspect they will, just like all those Madonna songs in the 80s that people dismissed.

*sad face*

You're comparing Beyonce to Madonna?

NoVideo said:

Is that why you said that about that song?

maybe they should have named her the salesperson of the decade. im just wondering what is this person basing his/her opinion on. she hasnt sold the most records, she didnt have the biggest tours, the didnt have the top album in any of the years this decade did she? what exactly has she done to have this great honor bestowed upon her.

Paris9748430 said:

I'm just at the thought of people seeing her as an artist when she has been accused of stealing songs numerous times and crediting herself for songs she didn't write. As horrible as she is, I think Britney Spears would've been a far better choice.

that it's a cultural phenomenon? it was... it was everywhere. people were doing their own versions and parodying it left and right, even Obama did the hand thing. It was a mammoth hit that was unavoidable. It's one of the songs that will define pop music this decade.

NoVideo said:

Thank you. I just wanted to know what you meant.

midiscover said:

Right, it had no cultral impact at all.

I mean, it's not like there's thousands and thousands of copycat and parody videos of that song on Youtube or anything like that.

NO cultural impact at all!!!

midiscover said:

i adore madonna and think she's incredible. but i remember the 80's all too well. people were dismissive of her and her talent, and said her success was all about image and sex and not the songs. and yet, the songs are classics now. beyonce has proven staying power. she's been at this for quite a while - she's not a fly-by night pop tart.

The video?

is someone who staunchly defends Janet *really* spending all this time dissing Beyonce?

I hate to break it to you... I love Janet, but Beyonce could sing her under the table every day of the week and 3 times on Sunday.

NoVideo said:

but madonna had some good songs, thats the difference.beyonce got off track after her 1st solo album, somebody told her to focus on songs she can pop her coochie to.

Disco on steroids.

NoVideo said:

I disagree but it's groovy.

Paris9748430 said:

if thats the case i guess soulja boy tell'em made a huge cultural impact as well

NoVideo said:

Yes, because she yells, correct? I prefer Janet's meek voice to Beyonce's overbearing vocals

and plus Janet pushed boundaries when she was on the come up and so did Madonna and I find it sad that you would compare Beyonce to Madonna.

lowkey said:

i disagree, i think there are some killer pop songs on Beyonce's last 2 albums. If I Were a Boy is terrific. Halo, Single Ladies, Ego, Get Me Bodied, Irreplaceable, etc..

midiscover said:

For fuck's sake, they call EVERYBODY in the music business "artists"

By your standards, if not writing your own songs means you're not an artists, then that means the following people aren't.










And the lady in your avatar shouldn't be considered an "Artist", either.

Hell, I could make a case for Beyonce being much more of an "Artist" than her, because at least B sings live!!!

midiscover said:

we'll see 20 years from now how apt the comparison is.

NoVideo said:

so the rule is you cant comment on any artists if you are a major fan of an artist? i didnt see anybody mention beyonce's singing versus janet

lowkey said:

it's just ironic, because so many people accuse Janet of being talentless and the product of producers and her family name. How one can defend one and diss the other seems very odd to me, but whatevs

Paris9748430 said:

Girl, SIT DOWNE!! I don't know why you'll dragging Janet into this mess!!! and Janet sings live at times.

I just don't find anything creative or innovative about Beyonce's music. Her performance antics are exactly Tina Turner's but ungraceful.

lowkey said:

At the end of the day, it's all opinion. It is not fact that Beyonce is better than Madonna is better than Janet.
