I'm tempted 2 say anything but what she is doing. A grown woman singing about "Girls ruling the world" is just NOT cutting it. [Edited 6/2/11 11:44am] | |

I don't think you can comprehend.
IM NOT CONTRADICTING. im saying she hasn't master NEITHER talent.
IM NOT saying she has to be BOTH an amazing singer like whitney and an amazing dancer like janet. Just MASTER ONE craft. Compare her dancing to janet, and beyonce doesn't match up, compare her singing to whitney/mariah it doesn't match up. So she does them well enough, but not enough to be extraordinary. Like i said jack of all trades master at none.
Janet, Mariah and whitney are complete because they master a craft they are good at. If someone can master BOTH crafts thats great, but you have to be able to be better or just as good as the ones who master that particular craft.
If we are going to say beyonce is an amazing singer, she has to be good as mariah and whitney, if we are going to say she is an amazing dancer she has to be as good as janet. If she is NOT, which she is NOT, then she did not master the craft.
You can't be 50% at one craft and 50% at another craft, when you are competing in both areas, and with people who are 100% in their area.
What im really saying is she is NOT as talented as what some people want to believe.

So that's it huh? no such thing as individuality or unique talent. if a singer is not good like mariah or can dance like janet, then fuck it, they're not talented. Mariah is a good singer, but Mariah is Mariah with her own unique style and her own signing. i've said this before, Beyonce IS talented and there is nothing anyone can do to take that away from her, her problem is that the quality of her songs are deteriorating and she is showing no growth whatsoever.

TotalAlisa I think Mariah and Whitney are extraordinary and incomparable singers (in their prime). 'Nuff said! Therefore I think Beyonce can fit into the amazing category (not incomparable) because singers like Mariah, Whitney and even Celine are in the league which nobody else is in which is why I thought it was redundant to even mention them in the first place.
I think Beyonce has great control and just kills it everytime. She is amazing, meaning I am amazed when I see/hear her sing and perform. Her voice is wicked in my opinion. I understand that you don't think she's mastered anything which is the main thing, that's cool.
Graycap, I do see what you're saying but music isn't the same as it once was. She appeals to teens, twenty-somethings, thirty-somethings and even beyond. Especially girls. She's always going to stay relevant and relevant music isn't what a lot of people like on here, so her saying 'Who Run The World? Girls. Raise a glass for the college grads', they like it and she's shouting out to young women doing something with their lives and going to college. That's part of the appeal.
Still interested in what you and others would like to hear her sing to impress you lol | |

im using mariah and whitney as an EXAMPLE. im not saying they are the only great singers.
im just saying she should be among the best or better, if people are going to consider her this great vocalist and dancer.
you guys are just not getting the whole point. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
again everything i said went over your head.
i don't even know what you are talking about. If whitne, mariah and celine are in a league of their own, how is beyonce in that league when she is NOT as great as them. You are contradicting Yourself.
Beyonce is NOT an extraordinary or incomparable singer nor dancer. So why is she a legend/icon???
DID YOU UNDERSTAND ANYTHING i said Because im not going to repeat myself, just slowly read over what i posted before.
if people want to call beyonce a legend/icon, then put her talent up next to the icons and legends. All im saying is beyonce can't compete with JANET JACKSON, Whitney and mariah in their prime.
AGAIN no one is saying beyonce has no talent, im saying she is NOT as talented as people want to believe.

Thank you v much, that's the point I was making. She is an amazing singer, but the others are incomparable. Totally in a different league. Thank you Emancipation.
About being a legend/icon, is Madonna not a legend/icon? That's all I need to say lol | |

im not going to repeat myself, you and this other person COMPLETELY MISSED MY POINT.
just reread what i wrote SLOWLY and you will see that is NOT what im saying.
its not about singing exactly like mariah or dancing exactly like janet. Its about talent being just as good as the legends, whether its dancing or singing, it doesn't have to be both. She has talent, but its NOT as good as what people want to believe.

SO thanks for pointing that out, yes i CAN read,
So then this proves what im saying, beyonce is NOT a legend or Icon or whatever people are trying to say about her.
The word amazing is used to describe mariah or whitney, the word Decent should be used for beyonce. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
so what is your point????
my whole point was showing beyonce not to be an icon, and that her talents were as great as what people believe. And you just support what i said. Thanks
my whole arguement was beyonce is overrated and not a legend,
i think other people arguing that beyonce is talented.
I wasn't saying she wasn't talented, i was saying she wasnt that talented, nor a legend.
So i think we may have been debating over two different things. [Edited 6/2/11 14:50pm] | |

My point is that you said: if people want to call beyonce a legend/icon, then put her talent up next to the icons and legends.
If that's true, is Madonna not a legend/icon? Cause she sure doesn't match to Janet, Whitney, Mariah or Beyonce... She's still an icon. | |

I like Beyonce, and I don't see her as an icon or legend. You should know Gaga fans are calling Gaga a legend or beyond. Actually, nobody even brought up the word "legend" or "icon" in this thread but you. Miss Alisa.....CHILLLL!!!

lol exactly I agree with you there 100% but she is still counted as a legend and icon, so *if* you were totally right, and Beyonce isn't as talented as we think then maybe being an icon isn't *just* about ability and talent. The whole package? Which Beyonce has definitely got. | |

Darling, look back at my post did you see me say anything about not giving your opinion on someone's voice?...did you see me say anything about not having ears?

That should shut this thread down. I hate when people say, well she's not as great as Whitney, Mariah, and whoever else they want to name so she's a "decent" singer who is overrated. But I know people would say it of Whitney and Mariah. Bey has the vocal performance Grammys to back it up. So if others aren't impressed by what Bey does, that's on them. | |

I don't have to re-read shit. It's obvious you already made up your mind about Beyonce. In your opinion and your own world if they are not as good as this or that then they are not good. I just feel differently. i recognize talent as an individual thing. To me she can sing and she can dance, she and Janet have different dancing styles, Mariah and Beyonce have different vocal styles, everyone is unique. Beyonce can sing AND dance, she has mastered performing, but her songs are what's messing her up. [Edited 6/2/11 17:44pm] | |

Why are you mad, though? and DEAD at "hate Beyonce" clan. I don't have the time or energy to hate on someone I don't know. I just find her fans (such as yourself) amusing.
and you don't know whether I can sing or not. So have a seat with your failed ASSumptions. | |

Trust me baby, I ain't the one that's mad. I love how people like you go in on threads about certain artists slam on them and then try to cover it up with that "oh, I didn't say I don't like Beyonce I'm just sharing my feelings on her music." bullshit and then try to get all buddy buddy with the other folks who thinks just like you so they can try and back up your irrelevent tom foolery. surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water

That's how I feel!! I've been astounded by the level of Beyonce bashing I've witnessed on the Org since I started visiting this site 3 months ago. I've mainly tried to keep quiet about it.... But, I simply don't get it. As far as young, international Pop stars go I think she's the most talented one out there and has raised the bar real high----Sure, there could be an unsigned vocal/dancing Goddess tearing it up in their hometown that no one knows about except the locals... but, I'm talking about prominent, major artists. She is VERY skilled, talented and works really hard. How can anyone seriously deny that? Who else is out there on Beyonce's level right now? I like Adele too, but she has a totally different thing going on--singer/songwriter, blue-eyed soul singer that normally performs standing in one spot. That's a whole nuther scene. Not sure why she was even bought up aside from people just throwing their personal favorite (but totally unrelated) artists into the mix.
Someone made comments about Beyonce having vocal training, as if that's some sort of bad thing. I don't know if she had training or not, but if she has spent time with Seth Riggs or Brett Manning (as Stevie, MJ and Luther have) then she will just continue to get even more amazing and still have her voice 20 years from now (unlike some others).
I'm no crazed Beyonce fan... I only own one CD, heard some radio singles and I'm friends with 2 members of her touring band. All this is just my opinion... but, I'm confident enough in my ability to recognize talent when I see and hear it. | |

I know this wasn't directed to me, I totally agree with you she is a great talent and is the better artist among those of her generation that can really put on a show. I like a lot of her songs and own 2 albms, as well as a few destiny's child albums, but I really do not agree with her buying her fame and getting egotistical awards made up for her at this stage in her career. I would have been so happy for her getting artist of the deacde at the Billboards, cause I supported her albums and tours, but this is like a big slap in the face to people who had to break barriers to deserve a title like that, I don't understand what barriers she broke. I know she's a role model and hard worker and that's why I like her, but I don't agree with all the hype either. | |

No, you're just proving that you don't use the internet for leisure time. It's your life and you live vicariously through Beyonce. How dreadful.
I will continue to tap your quote button and you will remain hot and bothered by it. I clocked the tea on you trying to question someone else's opinion and like a simple minded bitch you got mad about it. And guess what? You wll STAY mad. [Edited 6/3/11 12:19pm] | |

First of all, that "why you mad, though" shit is dead so you can dig a hole with your paws and bury that with your wit.
You can convince yourself into believeing that I live through Beyonce and have no life but again YOU'RE the one who decided to answer a question that wasn't directed towards you {and that's not an opinion boo} and then keep coming back for your daily dose of bickering entertainment, so you can't tell what you do all day little miss I don't have the time or the energy. I'm gonna do you a favor, I'm gonna give you back the change I kept from ringing you up earlier, you go catch the first bus smoking back to Dumb Hoville and crawl back under the rock you came from because YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEVER!!! surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
