I never understood why for some reason when it comes to Beyonce people can never have an unpopular opinion about her, like she is so above criticism. Its okay to constructively criticize Michael. Its okay to trash Janet. Its okay to criticize Madonna. Its okay to criticize Prince and any other singer but its never okay to critcize Beyonce. I don't think stans or opposing posters have a right to dictate what others say on message boards. Since when do you have to be a fan to comment in a thread about a singer? Whether someone says the same opinion 50 times or says different opinions in 40 different ways people can say whatever the hell they want. Its a public forum, people can comment on any thread they want. You can like her and stan for her.... but if other's don't they are entitled to express their opinion also. I am tired of this unfair double standard when it comes to her. There is no right or wrong or even a facts presented in this thread. These are all opinions which everyone is entitled to whether you like them or not.
I remember how people used to run mega celebs through the mud but now, as you said, she's ABOVE criticism which to me is highly indicative of how her (evil) PR machine operates. If you can't say anything bad about someone for fear of her "fans" which I think are also comprised of people on their payroll that know which sites are the most popular, then something is very, VERY wrong with that picture. People used to comment all the time about her bad hygiene, lying about her age, fake hair/real hair and the fake baby/pregnancy situation but now all of a sudden that chatter has up and vanished and now what? She's Jesus to some people and I think that's really unhealthy and a big indicator of just how much of a phony she is. If you can't say anything bad or critical about someone that tells me exactly what they are about from the door. All hail, oh nevermind before I attract death threats or whatever...
ITA. Remember when she did the Super Bowl and those unflattering pics of her crazy facial expressions were posted online?
Her publicist was demanding for all unflattering photos of her to be removed from the internet!
Sorry, Beyonce. You have become extremely overrated.
First of all, let me get this straight: I am not a Beyonce hater. I think that she is, perhaps, the best pop star of the past ten years. But she is not the best and biggest pop star since Michael Jackson, as Ryan Seacrest and others on KIIS FM keep telling us.
Beyonce is not God. She hasn’t surpassed Janet Jackson. She hasn’t surpassed Mariah Carey. In no way has she passed Madonna. I would say that she hasn’t even surpassed Britney Spears. But don’t tell the entertainment media that. Forget Lady Gaga; Beyonce has become the poster girl for media payola.
According to most media sites, Beyonce’s performance at the MTV VMAs was historic. It changed the course of history. Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Michael Jackson are no longer relevant after Beyonce’s performance. But comments from people on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram were mostly mixed. Why is there such a difference between media reviews and what the general public thinks? One symbol will give you the answer: $
This weekend, I learned that Beyonce’s PR team paid a Huffington Post lead entertainment writer and editor to write nothing but positive headlines about her in early 2013. He was given a salary of $10,000 and given exclusives to new information about Beyonce. To the Huffington Post’s credit, that writer/editor was fired. But their over-the-top positive headlines about Beyonce still continue.
I also learned that Beyonce’s PR team has tried to bully some writers who happened to not like Beyonce with litigation. That silences a lot of writers, but it won’t silent me. Beyonce has become so overrated that it’s become difficult to appreciate her as an artist. Anybody who calls themselves a feminist before declaring “Bow down, Bitches!” is spreading a dangerous message.
According to many inside sources, the Grammys will be rigged this year to make Beyonce the big winner. Let’s hope that happens. Multiple Grammy wins lead to the career downfall curse. Hello, Alanis Morisette!
