Beyonce or No Beyonce?...


Although I can object to such comments made about Beyonce such as, "she is the most talented", or "she is the most beutiful" I must admit that she is VERY well- rounded. It seems that the disgust for Beyonce is not focusing on what her lyrics might say, but for her overall image in the media.Of course some people might idolize Beyonce more than they should, but you can't blame her for that; She is just doing her job.

And so what Beyonce is 27 still singing; And not neccessrily about the same thing she was singing about developing as a singer. I know that for a fact and you would too if you just paid attention to her albums growing up. And yea she is married,.. so what? She is not dancing in the videos to try and catch a man she already has. Again, choreography is just another part of her job, and I feel that she is very talented in that department. Too much attention is being put on her shaking her butt in a choreographed dance and being married, and not enough attention is being put on artist such as SNOOP DOG, who is too married but still chooses to have loose women dancing around him. Might I add that these women are not neccessarily dancing in a routine like manner either... which is usually what's considered acceptable in today's society.

Additionally, I don't belive that liking Beyonce as a singer makes me less of a person. I can and I DO like her, without depriving myself of self- respect. I also strongly feel that it all falls down on the audience who is watching these artists... and whether or not they can "think for themselves". And it's funny that India Arie, Alicia Keys, and Musiq were mentioned; cause I love all of them as singers as well. But that's the amazing thng about being able to take liking to different artist; they all have different characteristics that draw me to them.
BEYONCE DOES NOT MAKE ME; IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OF BEYONCE!
