I agree with that, I got into a fight with a beyonce fan over this

I agree, but I'm not sure if I can forgive her Wyclef Jean as a guest rapper on "Hips don't lie" and this damn awful "Beautiful Liar" crap.

Bullshit.Prince has always been an amazing live performer.He didn't need Beyonce to prove that.If he had gotten up there onstage without her,the performance would have been just as electrifying and everyone STILL would have been raving about it the next day.You give Beyonce waaaayyyyy too much credit

SoulAlive said:

if he got up there by himself 13-30 year olds would have turned the chanel.....real talk

mirrorbestfriend said:

He didn't have no guest stars onstage with him at the Super Bowl,did he? I don't think too many people turned the channel,in fact it was one of the highest rated Super Bowl performances ever.But I suppose you're gonna give Beyonce the credit for that,too?

SoulAlive said:

it was because it was the super bowl...what else is on at that time?

Beyonce helped him get that gig....no grammys...no superbowl

Yeah,Prince owes all of his recent success to Beyonce Without her,he would have gone bankrupt,right?

I certainly hope they would turn the channel because I don't want them getting into Prince because, if they do, Prince might weaken his music to appeal to their weak taste. If a young person that likes funk gets into Prince, I'm fine with that. However, these shit hop fans aren't even worthy of being in the same room with Prince.

That performance with Beyonce was a damn embarassment to Prince and fans of his music.

I think I remember seeing a commercial where MTV was having some sort of shit hop half time show.

This is how I feel. I don't care if he has a mass appeal and I don't care if kids are missing out. But I actually know quite a few people under 30 who love Prince and tuned into the Grammys to see him and only him and were horrified to see Beyonce.

I never knew any cool young people existed with good taste existed until I joined the org and saw there are several on here. Maybe there is hope for music afterall.

There's no double standard. Reasons why I dislike Beyonce?

1.She's EVERYWHERE. I can't turn on the tv, pick up a magazine, or go to a record store without having to encounter her or her "music." There's a difference between promotion and being shoved down everyone's throat, and B is certainly the latter. Yeah she's hot, but like a chick you see way too much of when you don't want to, that hotness fades.

2.Wack music. "Crazy In Love" was a good track, but it was ripped off from Amerie's "One Thing." Since then she has released shit like "Irreplaceable" and "Check up On It" easily some of the worst shit I've heard in a long time (especially "Check Up On It, fuck, that sounds like shit I was singing in music class in 3rd grade!) Yes, she can sing, and once in awhile has a decent track, but overall, her music sucks.

3.She and Daddy Knowles have done some underhanded things to other singers. Case in point, when they heard "One Thing" by Amerie, they decided they just HAD to get whoever produced that track to do a similar track with them, but not only that, they had Sony DELAY THE RELEASE of Amerie's album so that Beyonce could drop hers first.

Beyonce has saved the music industry and prince!

the music industry has been saved? is this your perception of the state of the music industry today? boy does that say alot.

wonder505 said:

just think how bad it would be if she wasnt here

mirrorbestfriend said:

i'm not following you? can you explain further? the music industry is shit. but you feel she has saved it? how?

wonder505 said:

she is the only thing hot over the last 2 years.....she is keeping the industry afloat

The thing that annoys me the most about Beyonce' is the fact so many people think she is a great singer. I know it's all about opinion but Aretha, Patti, Gladys, Roberta, Whitney, and Jennifer Holiday are/were great singers. Can Beyonce' hold a tune, yes, but IMO, she is no more of a vocalist than Tamar. In fact I think Tamar has a stronger voice technically. Straight up seriously, I don't think Beyonce' could survive American Idol, yet she is placed on this high pedestal. IMO, she oversings to cover up. Let's face it,Beyonce got to be where she is because of the way she looks, which is another area I think she is terribly overrated ( but then again, I think Halle Berry is overrated as well. I just think she pretty. I don't get the whole most beautiful woman in the world thing with her). People thinking Beyonce is a great talent just confounds me, and it annoys me she will be in the history books.

VelvetJ said:

You're another one, huh? I thought I was alone in this one. I am young, "Black", and I think I know what I want in a woman. Well, then again! The thing about that though is that everyone does overrate "Halle Berry" and "Beyonce". I think that "Halle" has the better personality of the two, but overall, I have still seen better women elsewhere. The color doesn't matter to me, either.

there isnt a woman on earth or any other planet prettier than halle berry

BLASPHEMY!

VelvetJ said:

Interesting viewpoint. Personally, I don't know what league I'd place Beyonce in as far as technical vocal talent goes, but that melisma sure drives me nuts: "I can have ANOTHA' YOU IN A MINUTE!!.. matter fact, HE'LL BE HERE IN A MINUTE!!!..."

mirrorbestfriend said:

If that's how you feel. Like I said, she's very attractive. One of the few ladies up to this point in her life that could still go out in public without make-up and still look attractive, but otherwise, she doesn't really peak my interests.

squiddyren said:

I so agree with you there.... I cannot relate to her music especially her lyics. Please somebody tell her what Deja Vu means please ....It was out of context in her corny song .,,,,,

mirrorbestfriend said:

yeah she's hot. and I'm a fan of hers but i have to admit that if Beyonce is what is keeping the music industry "afloat" then that's pretty sad. Beyonce's sophomore effort with B-Day tanked and she's banking on sex appeal. Have the mainstream industry have nothing else to offer? perhaps i'm just too ole skool and out of wack with the times and today's music.

VelvetJ said:

I have to wholeheartedly disagree with you. Beyonce can sing. I don't see how you can say she cannot sing. The Aretha's Glady's and Jennifer Holidays are phenomenal singers and its hard to compare anyone to them. But all in all, Beyonce has a great voice. I personally just think her voice is wasted on songs like Check On It and most of the songs on her B-Day album.

Janet, Rihanna, Ciara, Britney, those are the ones who can't sing.

I saw Beyonce live last week 03/06 at wembley. She suprised me how good she is .What a proformer her voice is second to none at the moment.
She deserves respect.Her albums do not do her justice i think everybody will hear that one day.
She can wear what she wants she is stunning.If people question this they are only jealous.

Orgers hate every other artist that is not PRINCE!!!! Sometimes I wonder how a sensible discussion can ever be had on this board
