I feel you on that but Beyonce got this god given madd talent no other chick is coming close to right now. She need better tracks to kick up her game a few notches..... might come after a break and serving the king Jay his eggs in the AM for a minute....other than that the girl got pipes dripping with honey sauce and aint no such thang as too much of a good thang.

I'd qualify your post by saying that SOME rappers don't say anything worthwhile. Some other rappers are true poets with something important to say. Otherwise, I'll co-sign your post.

Beyonce needs to stop wearing those fake hips and ass pads! It looks like she's wearing depends.

I definitely wouldn't say that Beyonce is the most talented female artist out now by any means because there are several female vocalists that I think are just as good (if not better) than her, but that's just my opinion. However, I'm not disagreeing that Beyonce is a very talented vocalist, a great stage performer, and a very pretty girl. In fact, the only things that really annoy me to no end about her is that: 1) she's seems to be more a brand than an actual singer nowadays; 2) she's extremely over-exposed; 3) she seems like a puppet to her father; and 4) her speaking voice drives me absolutely nuts (Mariah's speaking voice evokes the same feelings for me...like fingernails being dragged across a chalkboard ). In every interview that I've seen of Beyonce, she just sounds soo...uneducated; which irritates me about anyone, especially public figures.

The fact that many artists nowadays insist on making themselves into brands is something that I detest and applaud all at the same time for some oddball reason. I applaud it because as history has soo often shown, artists don't really make that much money unless they tour alot, so I have nothing against people making their paper by using much easier methods. However, when some artists become brands, they seem to focus less on the quality of the music and begin following the hot musical trend just so they can sell albums and get that number 1 spot and platinum selling title even when the album is deemed terrible by the critics and their fans. I don't see the point in bragging about going platinum and being number 1 when your album is a steaming pile of dog poo, but to each his/her own.

Some artists seem like they will put their name on almost any product that offers the right monetary amount; and that's when I start to detest the whole 'becoming a brand' concept because there's a point where it becomes a total overload and the word 'sell-out' is all I can think about when that person's name is mentioned. Unfortunately, selling out nowadays doesn't really seem like such a big deal like it did a few years ago; my how the times have changed

I don't mind her making movies because I have to pay to see them, which I don't, so . It's the non-stop make-up and hair dye commercials that are making me want to slap the dog mess out of her. I swear I see Beyonce every 10 minutes no matter what channel I'm watching. Many people like to throw around the word, 'hater', but most of those people hesitate to realize that most of these celebrities that are 'hated on' are the ones who are always being shoved down the public's throats. No matter how much I try to avoid Beyonce, it's practically impossible unless I stop reading magazines, watching TV, and listening to the radio. I miss the old days when an artist was just an artist, not a brand that endorsed every product that was presented to them. I think that's one of the many reasons why people are tired of Beyonce. If she was just a singer, people probably wouldn't be begging for her to take a break. Just my
