Alas, it's unfortunate that fate smiled upon the less talented, weave-whipping, oversinging sister. Solange is the true artist of the family.

Bey ain't that awful. lol I swear the org gives her less credit then she deserves. She has a lot of talent.

Care to define some of her vast talents?

''sigh'' if i had a cookie for everytime someone gave a fuck about Solange or bought one of her albums. I would have have half of one cookie

I agree. It's like she's trying too hard to be the opposite of Beyonce.

God knows I you boo... but you also like Drake, Nikki, Jermiah,Trey and alot of other bullshit... just saying...

Beyonce IS overrated and that is what people are sick of. There are much more talented artists and Im sure you know this. She has little talent compared to what masses proclaim. She is an average dancer, descent singer, and she doesnt write any of her mediocre songs. Her sister is much more creative, original and writes good songs.

ONCE AGAIN, I knew my point would be proven...

People in here defending overrated Beyonce and bashing her more talented sister just because she is less popular which is why the music industry is FUCKED up now

I don't like Nicki, Jerimih (sp?) or Trey Songz. lol And it is quite rude to call someone else's music taste "bullshit". neutral

And doesn't it just mean that I have a broader taste in music?

Really though. lol

She can sing and dance well enough. Though I wouldn't say she has "vast" talent.

Yup...like Ottie said, she has a bit of edge without overdoing it to the point of being artsy-fartsy just for the sake of it. I think her voice is kind of interesting too...maybe just not typical.

This is what I like about her. She's not commercially calculated in who she's aligned with artistically. Everything flows with that kid like osmosis, whether she's dj-ing in Japan or working through the fashion circles of Milan. She just seems naturally more Bohemian and "alternative" than her sister creatively speaking- and it shows in the artistic projects she chooses (especially outside of music). As much as I'm happy for Beyonce's world wide success, some of what she chooses to do by way or visual art or aesthetics leave me either cold or irritated because it's always so forced and contrived, she has not the adaptability to fit into some of the images she wants to project, and most importantly it feels like it's shoved down the public's throat.

When I look at the black women who have been taste or trend makers in the history of fashion I just don't see B having anything in common with any of them- and it always looks like she simply "bought her spot on the list" by simply being the best at getting pop culture accoldaes.

Solange however, is someone I look at and think, okay this kid has a natural edge, is not afraid to experiment, she has the mold to something interesting. She's not as powerful a singer as her sister, but she hound her niche I think in other ways. If she continues to do do music however, I just hope to gawd that she'll keep going a route entirely different from her big sis... it suits her to use her talents that way.

Truth!

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Come on mane....I didnt say your taste was bullshit lol I said you listen to them and other bullshit artists as in bad artists and you rank them high

And listening to the radio doesnt mean you have broad taste. It just means someone is up to date with what is current and popular. I dont listen to the radio but I am aware of what is current.

But if that is the music you choose to listen to so be it....

I wouldn't call myself a fan though I remember digging that I Decided song and respect her for being an individual and interesting instead of chasing fame and money. Sounds like NYC is treating her well.

How's her giant banana doing? lol

She's doing so well for herself. She's signed to a large multi-continental modeling agency now and this last year in Milan she was working her butt off as a traditional fashion industry model; she's booked fashion editorial, Fashion Week in Milan as a catwak model. I'm happy she's found her own little niche and identity.
