I don't know about that yet, lol. The terms "genius" and "legend" aren't really applicable in my opinion until the artist does something(s) extraordinary and has been excelling in the business for at least 20 years or more. Unless....wait a minute, you're being facetious, aren't you?

MendesCity said:

Yes!

Fuck, you think Beyonce is so overrated and you want her to disappear GO TELL HER, we ain't Beyonce, we don't want to hear this shit.

Oh my ckufing WORD! Out of all the wack ass "I had a sandwich today" threads in this forum, no one wants to hear that Beyonce is played too much. That's really what you're going with? I didn't say I was burning Sasha Fierce memorabilia, and I'm certainly not forming a god damn lynch mob to take her down. You people are mighty defensive, you would think I insulted you. At the most, I insulted your taste.
Maybe the thread should have been called "Everybody I Wanna Kiss Beyonce's Ass For An Entire thread" and watched it not get a single reply because that's a bullshit waste of time and not even a topic worth discussing. Mind you, I'm not even taking it where some people are with the "skank" references and what have you. But you loyalists would rather I magically catch Beyonce on a down day, strolling through Greenbelt; tap her on the shoulder and say, "Could you go away for a minute?" WTF type of BS is that?
I will not apologize for thinking the girl gets 5 days of press for an hour's work. Her "image" is so necessary to protect but she's not a damn dignitary. And I don't want to start any rumors, but I heard HER SHIT STINKS TOO! I'm not attacking her character, I'm not saying she worships Satan, I'm saying what is commonly expressed and misdiagnosed as "hatred" by the folks partial to blinders. Thank God this thread wasn't about Michael Jackson, or someone would have taken it upon themselves to seek vengeance. As ridiculous as some of these arguments have been, I did see valid points on both sides. Maybe the next thread from me will be about how "smooth jazz ain't got shit on ragtime". And let's see if you same people run out with torches lit... WHICH YOU WON'T. This was fun-esque, lol.

Peace, Hip Hop & Purple Rain

GangstaCru, you have a right to express your opinion as we all do still, you shouldn't get your nose out of joint because others offer an opposing view.


'Beyonce is Overrated'

I've never really heard anyone give Ms. Knowles accolades for her singing, acting nor songwriter skills, though she's been very successful. Maybe we are confusing a successful music/entertainment career with being gifted or talented artist/singer, I think you can have the former without the latter. So, if you are saying she doesn't deserve her success because she's a marginal talent at best, OK. Ms. Knowles isn't the first decent/ok singer who's eclipsed more talented artist. She's a "glamor girl", very attractive, photogenic, to some possess sex appeal, and can sing in key with a decent/rang/voice. Call me Ms. Ross, Cher, Janet Jackson and Madonna come to mind when I think of "glamor girls"... possessing varying degrees of talent respectively. These women have found a way to "work it" and I ain't mad at them.

UGH!!!! Seriously all the poster is doign is giving her MORE promotion

This topic is overrated. Beyonce just boring.

I really don't think anyone can say she can't sing, no matter how much she is all over the place

i m drop dead serious. a FANTASTIC performer, went to see her live!

alphastreet said:

that i give her but Susan Boyle can sing...half the people on the reality tv competitions can sing. heck, one of the milli vanilli dudes could sing.

The thing about Beyonce is, she's a great performer and singer, but I would never call her a legend. She hasn't did anything that's going to be talked about for years and years to come.

sosgemini said:

No.

KidaDynamite said:

you get my point.

ViintageJunkiie said:

Yeah I agree. Earlier in the decade, I used to say she would become a legend, and has the chops to do so, but when I heard her shit hop route, I was disappointed she was wasting her talent on throwaway songs instead of producing classics. I liked crazy in love and naughty girl from her first album, but I was very disappointed with it, cause I thought she would go with a sound like Work It Out.

Her second and third album have some really decent tracks, especially the ballads and some of the dance tunes. And the videos were well done. But I find that though I liked B'Day a lot in 2007, it doesn't have the classic feel except for a few songs. On her current album, I love the ballads, but only some of the fast songs. I think video phone and diva are garbage.

dawntreader said:

Wow, alrighty then! Just had to make sure you weren't joking, lol. But I agree, Beyonce really is a fantastic performer. Maybe she will become labeled as a "genius" one day. She has to do something never seen before. Might happen.

then don't listen to her

InsatiableCream said:

You can't help but to. She's constantly shoved down our throats.

Layzie said:

Not mine's.

Layzie said:

Last time i checked, it's not that hard to turn the radio station or turn the tv channel.

InsatiableCream said:

Exactly. I never keep the channel on something annoying or something I don't like.

So I can't even say I don't like Beyonce because I never had that problem with her.

Timmy84 said:

people just like to complain.

InsatiableCream said:

Yeah and I think if you really don't like somebody, the last thing you want to do is mention them.

InsatiableCream said:

I had to turn the station 18 times in 30 minutes today.

Layzie said:

Indeed You can't even watch a music awards show these days without seeing Beyonce there.She even appeared on the latin music awards show a few years ago! Pretty soon,she will do a country song and try to conquer that market too She'll get Brad Paisley to duet with her.

over exposed maybe but Beyonce is pretty and she CAN sing. which is a combo that most sings don't have (looks and vocals)


Aaliyah who I also found very pretty (naturally prettier than Beyonce imo)only had a so-so average voice


not a Beyonce fan but Hey if you got it use it while you can it's not going to last forever.By the time I have grandkids and they turn around 15-16 they will probably have no idea who Beyonce was.

InsatiableCream said:

It's not hard but as someone previously said, when watching something simple as an awards show and she's there or visiting your favorite blog and there's a story on her is annoying as hell. I'm saying that it's not as easy as turing off the radio or tv.

Layzie said:

Why are people still watching awards shows or even going to blogs that feature her anyway?

SoulAlive said:

Don't give Daddy Knowles any ideas. I'm suprised we haven't heard of a upcoming duet with Taylor Swift.

Layzie said:

Oh please no. Now she's becoming overrated.

WaterInYourBath said:

Oooh. Say that over and over in my ear.
