Exactly. I hate that. She'd rather be Tina Turner/Janet than Patti LaBelle/Aretha it seems.

Timmy84 said:

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.

Blasphemer!!!

Musically? Politically?

Timmy84 said:

I think she wants to be BOTH...sang like Re (or maybe Etta) and have the stage persona of Tina. She'd do better being herself.

brooksie said:

That's highly doubtful. B has said in interviews that she wasn't that familiar with Etta until she did the movie.

Musically

Wowugotit said:

They were pretty good. For me, it was overkill with radio building them up then murdering their careers.

SCNDLS said:

She ain't ever gonna find her identity anyways.

daPrettyman said:

Then she all like how Etta paved the way for her and shit.

Timmy84 said:

Yeah, cuz she could NEVAH step into Tina's stilettos. 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.

SCNDLS said:

Ya know? 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.

Timmy84 said:

That's my point exactly. 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.

SCNDLS said:

She's working on getting that Oscar and Golden Globe.

Will that be a first? Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy?

Oh wait, Jennifer Hudson beat her to it.

daPrettyman said:

And somebody else beat her before that, I can't remember who tho, maybe Liza Minelli.

Oh and until she loses that Missouri City accent and learn how to act like a character other than Sasha Fierce she ain't gon' win nary award.

daPrettyman said:

Yeah, lol.

She was also supposed to be the first black female to win a Tony, Oscar and Grammy but Whoopi Goldberg won those before her.

Hell Diana got a damn Tony!

SCNDLS said:

Exactly! I think Liza got Emmys too.

Timmy84 said:

And a Tony.

She'd neva heard of (gulp) Etta? You coulda fooled me when she "sang" (read murdered and not in a good way) "At Last". She was sho she had Etta down (eyeroll).

brooksie said:

Etta: "She gonna get her ass whupped!"

SCNDLS said:

Yeah, I think she got the Oscar, Tony and Emmy around the same year (1972). She got a Grammy later on, lol.

SCNDLS said:

There WAS a fella by the name of Isaac Hayes. If I were her, that's who I'd chase.

brooksie said:

The first black musician to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Timmy84 said:

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.
