Keyshia Cole Slams Beyonce Over "Bow Down"

She is just trying to sell her BS album.

I'll admit it, the Bey song does suck donkey balls, but this is uncalled for.

I disagree

Keisha may be alot of things but one thing you cant say she is, is phooney unlike alot of other celebrities when asked about Beyonce will kiss her ass.

Whether its uncalled for or not.... Keisha does have a point.

How are you gonna to be talking about unity and then make a song called bow down bitches?

WTF

Cause its all forced, she needs something right now to break out, lets be honest, she is considered OLD NEWS at this point, she isnt setting the charts on fire with her songs like Katy Perry and Rih are, not that im fans of their stuff, but Beyonce is not relevant single wise at this point, she can tour, do shows, events, HYPE the shit out of a NON EVENT like no other, but as far as setting charts a blaze like an Adele, please, her selling days are well past her

I agree with all that.

I just dont understand how its accepted for people to kiss Beyonces ass even when she doesnt deserve it but as soon as someone calls her out on her bullshit people are hating.

Did yall expect for Keyshia Cole to say that this song represents female empowerment and little girls should listen to it?

I mean c'monnnn .... the ass kissing needs to stop

Its a dumb elementary song and Keyshia only said what we already know.

Nobody is saying Bey's song is all that and a bag of chips, (frankly, I think this song is the worse...) That being said, last time I check, it was Beyonce who was out selling Keyshia in record sales and concert venues and not the other way around. The last line of your post, says it all;

"Its a dumb elementary song and Keyshia only said what we already know." If it is already known, there is no need for it, to said. Unless you yourself, have an alterior motive....

Exactly!!

We all know that Bey's new song is just publicity and crap. It was done only to bring attention to herself and the upcoming tour. Keyshia seems to be doing the same thing....just by using Beyonce and the other DC members to bring attention to her music/tour.

If Keyshia really wants to promote her new project, go to the radio stations that play your music, make yourself visible. Try to get another reality show or get on a hit show (Idol, DWTS, etc.) and try to promote your music.

Beyonce New Music Bow Down/I Been On

Thread started 03/17/13 3:46pm

I'm not mad at cray cray Keyshia I applaud her for speaking her mind, even if I'm sure a part of her is jealous that Beyonce is more successful. It annoys me when huge music stars can get away with crappy songs that somehow become hits

All I am saying is Im happy someone chose to tell the truth on Beyonces music instead of kissing her ass

The fact that Beyonce is more successful is irrelevant.

Just because she is more successful doesnt mean people cant criticize her.

Beyonces albums does not sell alot, she was not even one of the biggest sellers last decade. Yea, she might sell out venues (because she is more well known) but that doesnt make her a better artist because she sucks and Id take Keisha over her anyday and I dont even like Keyshia.

There are alot of celebrities that know Beyonces music sucks BUT THEY KISS HER ASS TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT so your last sentence is not cutting it.

You make it seem like celebrities are always telling the truth about her and that is not true

BRAVO to Keyshia for keepin it real.

Daprettyman I love you to bits but I disagree with this

I do agree that Keyshia was disrespectful for talking about Michelle but on this note, I dont think she is wrong here. She is just giving her opinion.

So are you saying everytime an artist criticizes Beyonce their hating or jealous?

That doesnt make sense to me because MOST celebrities are always kissing her ass even when she doesnt deserve it.

Keyshia is not jealous of her, Ive heard her speak highly of Beyonce in the past... She JUST TOLD THE TRUTH!

I agree.. she spoke highly of Bey during the Super Bowl performance...I agree with Key on this one.. Bow Down Bitches is wack to me (lyrical content)... and i like Bey but not feeling the lyrical content of this track..

all these artists are just spinning their wheels at this point, its a shame but its true what music they are making has NO (ok maybe a bit) of relevance in the world, these are mainstream artists that have no sense anymore, its sad, this generation that wanted everything cheap and fast, well you got it, now as they say, suck on it (not aimed at anyone posting making a point) to me i dont care that their music doesnt sell, that the business of selling music is non existent, because people got what they wanted they paid for this business and now they are unhappy what comes from these so called artists. The writing is on the wall, and its IRRELEVANCE of new stuff, and i dont want to hear someone say " good stuff isnt on the labels" BS just as much crap on the indie side as on a label, sick of that fable being spewed. When i want good new music i tune into those who know how to make it, I just icked up the new Depeche Mode, now this may not sell, may not have a hit single, may not even get spins on video and radio stations. BUT they are more relevant than those who SHOULD be relevant now, that my friends SPEAKS VOLUMES. Depeche mode can sell out a show without triying, Beyonce with Alicia Keys a few years back couldnt sell out MSG!! so a kesyhia cole vs beyonce battle is like Kim Kardashian and Snooki having a fight about who is a better actress.

I AGREE with every word!

I dont think the song is far from what she does she has been making generic music with profanity and conceited lyrics since her debut. (Diva, Freakum Dress, Run the world all songs use to play on the radio years back and they all sound like that song, nothing new )

People act like Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Miguel, Frank Ocean, etc are the only music artists that exists.

I just feel sorry for this generation because they just dont think for themselves and rely to much on the media to tell them what they should or should not listen to.

And as soon as you make a comment that is not the popular music opinion, your called... a hater Thats why people like what everyone else likes because its consequences for being yourself

^THIS to both posts!

I was just thinking about Depeche Mode.

Record might not do much (then again who knows) but they'll tour and rake in millions.

But their audience has already been built.

We have yet to see an artist post internet-boom who can build an audience like that.

Sade, Dave Mathews, Depeche Mode, Prince?

All are pre-internet.
