It's a shame too cuz although I clown that attention loving hussy every chance I get she can actually sing and it's a shame that she doesn't showcase her actual vocal skills more than her bootyshaking. Exactly. I hate that. She'd rather be Tina Turner/Janet than Patti LaBelle/Aretha it seems. | |

Timmy84 said: SCNDLS said: Beyonce drastically changed her singing style after the second album IMO. It was a whole lot more hollering. I was listening to No, No, No and some other DC songs the other day, and although she was always the main vocalist, she had a MUCH softer less abrasive sound back then. Now, it seems like her dial is stuck on Scream and Holla. Right. That's what gnaws me sometimes. When you were in the group, you weren't screaming to prove a point, now it's like you have to scream just so people will KNOW you're not lip-syncing, I mean is it really that necessary? That "Ring the Alarm" mess was the WORST! Yeah, I don't really fuck with Beyonce on the album-level it's just TOO much, but some of her singles have some good remixes, as does the later DC tracks. I really like the Soldier remixes. One of the things that saved that track for me is that each person had a verse so a lil less B Overkill. But I'll be damned if Michelle don't sound like Minnie Mouse. | |

She'd do better being herself. | |

Like I said, I think she has the goods she's just more concerned about being a diva and celebrity than REALLY changing the game and adding something new. | |

The divas she aspires to be CHANGED THE GAME of music, I don't see how she CAN'T do that. Hell if she could, she could do a SOUL album WITHOUT rappers, I mean she's at that point she can do that but for some reason she HASN'T. I don't get that at all. | |

She hasn't brought anything new or challenged herself to really work on her "craft" when she really has talent. Everything she does she straight up jacked from somebody else. | |

Yup and he didn't get it by being wack and not taking risks. Beyonce seems scared to go against the status quo, but great music ain't got made that way. She ain't half bad in terms of raw talent, but even tho she's much paid, she thinks chump change. [Edited 6/9/09 12:29pm] [Edited 6/9/09 12:30pm] | |
