Natalie Cole: ‘Beyonce Is The New Madonna’

Published: Friday 5th Jul 2013 by David

Natalie Cole has showered praise on fellow icon Beyonce this week, billing her the ‘new Madonna’ in an interview with The Grio.

Want to know what she said?

Peep her accurate assessment of the ‘Standing on the Sun‘ star below… Hitting the publication to dish on her new album ‘Natalie Cole En Espanol’, the daughter of the late Nat King Colesaid the following of Bey:

“I think that it’s going to be interesting to see where Beyoncé’s career goes. Because now I would say, she is the new Madonna. Girls want to look like her; they want to dress like her… I think that she could be a great influence. She’s a nice girl, definitely not a “diva” in the sense of what we like to use as that definition.”

 While the comparison may not immediately make sense, it does when given some thought. For, while Madonna’s cause lies in her art and Beyonce’s in her voice/performance style, they share the unique position of being the blue print for the standard held by society when judging their contemporaries and creative heir apparents.

 

For example, in the same way a controversial hit making blonde couldn’t rock the Pop charts without being compared to the ‘Material Girl’, it’s impossible to watch a Pop belle rock out in a front of a wind machine without being compared to Bey.

 

In adding to this, both ladies enjoy the unique- and at times uncomfortable position- of standing the test of time and watching acts they inspired ‘grow up’ to become their closest rivals in today’s territory.

 

In Madonna’s case, watch girls grow up inspired by her, who then go on to inspire a third generation of starlets- young enough to be her daughters.

In Bey’s case, these being Rihanna and Rita Ora after her.

So, let us know…

Do you agree with Ms.Cole?

    I think their styles and approach are too different to compare.

  4. BeyWhoUWanna July 5, 2013

    No but for real, why are you here?
    I stopped reading another site because I didn’t like what they did and it was the best thing for me, so if you don’t like why waste your time coming here to say you don’t like it. Just leave.

    • BeyWhoUWanna July 5, 2013

      Oh, yall deleted the comment I replied too.

    • JER July 5, 2013

      I’m here to clock delusional heauxs. Why are you hear reading mine and other people’s comments if you are so affected by them? The DEVASTATION i see! ‘If you don’t like why waste your time coming here to say you don’t like it. Just leave.’ And on the 7th day, JER said BASIC B**** BE GONE! And it was so. And it was good.

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        You idiot. Its blog therefore you will READ the comments. How do you know if a comment affects you unless you read it?

      • JER July 5, 2013

        Well apparently that’s not what a blog is for. You see when I read and comment the true T, it’s an issue. But when BeYAWNce stans read and comment it’s the gospel according to paypal BYE.

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        Its not true tea though its your based opinion

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        Biased

  5. Mad-on-her July 5, 2013

    I love Beyonce but out of all the top female acts at the moment, I would say she is the one you would least compare to Madonna.
    It would make more sense to compare Bey to MJ, Tina Turner, Diana Ross… Mainly because she’ll be remembered primarily for killing the stage, rather than being innovative or her catalogue of songs.
    Gaga is the obvious one who could be compared to Madonna. Then maybe Britney and RiRi for having iconic looks/videos and being controversial.
    And also, no one wants to dress like Beyonce, even her fans.

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) July 5, 2013

    • MCThePlaceToBe July 5, 2013

      Beyonce is the new Madonna because they’re both thieves. Madonna stole from Bananarama and Beyonce steals from everyone, even innocent African people on youtube.

      • Beyhive July 5, 2013

        You mean the ones that personally taught her the routine AND Starred in her video? Oh. Bad example lmao.

      • earth July 5, 2013

        NO.. the ones she tried to originally steal from but her dancers couldn’t copy the moves exact so then her team suggested she calls them from AFRICA beyonce just wanted to steal and not pay them a dime.

      • K***. July 5, 2013

        Receipts @Earth..

      • Mad-on-her July 5, 2013

  6. MuiMui July 5, 2013

    That was a nice thing to say about Beyonce,shes a great entertainer and performs really good, Natalie. So good to see Beyonce being compared to Madonna, perhaps in the years to come there will be Artist that can be compared to Beyonce as well.

    It is a good thing to be compared to the greats who have come before you and it seem Beyonce has been compared to many of the greats who came before her.
    I just hope that other Younger Musician are INSPIRED enough by what Beyonce has accomplished to be compared to Her.
    Natilie as it stand right now Dear each time a artist does something great are reach a new Milestone Beyonce Fans tries with all their mite to Back BITE, Slander, ,Hate on them and tear them down Natalie do you have any sujection as to how these Younger Artist can be Inspired and not get all that BACKLASH from Beyonce Fans trying to run them in the ground and give them a hard time for INSPIRING to be like Queen Beyonce, Thanks.

      Beyonce is far from being a “legend”..

  10. ^AKA^ July 5, 2013

    Beyonce is Beyonce, Madonna is Madonna. They have nothing in common, starting from their music/videos/shock factor/controversy. I hate these titles, like Katy Perry is Female Michael Jackson, Rihanna is Black Madonna etc. All of them have their own identity.

      NATALIE COLE IS A CRACK HEAD.

      ….
      she admitted it herself and made the movie about it, so was Natalie HIGH ON CRACK when she said this????

    • ^AKA^ July 5, 2013

      Says a Nicki Minaj stan lol, I can’t.

      Patti Smith said that Rihanna is her new passion and she praised Stay.

      Kylie Minogue said that she rocked that stadium.

      Even Beyonce said that Rihanna is such a beautiful and telented lady.

      Mary J Blige praised her.

      Alicia Keys said she’s proud of Rihanna.

      Ne Yo, Lady GaGa, Jordin Sparks, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, Cheryl Cole, Ke$ha, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Drake and a lot of her contemporaries praised her too.

      What about Nicki?

      • quetta July 6, 2013

        Yet most of them you just named are NOT legends.

  14. Eek July 5, 2013

    Yikes…I don’t know about Madonna. I guess as far as them being good entertainers. I would think if Rihanna can stay on top for a long period of time, that’ll be a better Madonna comparison.

  15. LaLopez July 5, 2013

    Beyonce is the new Madge and Rihanna is the new Mariah. #Catchtheshade.

  16. Lovebird July 5, 2013

    Gurl please, there’s only one new Madonna and she’s currently making HistoRIH as the youngest act to sell out stadiums all over Europe.

    Madonna is the mother of reinvention and being edgy, only one other person does reinvention as good as Madonna and we all know who she is.

    Madonna also set standards for her generation and set and broke many records and we all know who is doing that in the digital era.

    Beyonce is at most the new Paula Abdul, she’s not the new Madonna, she’s not daring enough, she plays it too safe and has no personality. Plus Madonna was original, Beyonce is a THIEF. These are delusions of grandeur.

    • Hadley July 5, 2013

      I love how you say all that yet Madonna was one of the biggest thieves aswell.

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) July 5, 2013

      b**** please

    • Emeral July 5, 2013

      Madonna was original? Lol google is your friend.

    • K***. July 5, 2013

      And Beyonce is playing stadiums all over South America, and her tour is more likely to outgross Diamonds by tens of millions.. Your point?

  17. BeachHouseBritney July 5, 2013

    I like Beyonce but she’s not an icon. What’s she done that’s so iconic. Rihanna is worse because least Beyonce can sing, but there’s nothing iconic about her.

  18. RitasLipstick July 5, 2013

    Rihanna fans think because changes her hair style and is controversial, she’s like Madonna, as if that’s the only reason Madonna is where is she today.

  19. I Will Adorn You July 5, 2013

    TBH I don’t think Ms Cole was thinking too deeply with this I think she means in terms of star quality and that’s her opinion.

    I think these girls don’t need to be compared to other people all the time but I guess 10-20 years from you’ll have people saying ‘oh shes this generations Beyonce/Rihanna’ etc.

  20. QueenValance July 5, 2013

    Madonna is overrated imo. All she did is copy Cyndi and run with it.

    • FAF July 5, 2013

      Honey I LOOOOOOOVE Cyndi Lauper! “she’s so unusual” >>>> All madonna’s 80s albums

  21. JARED (WHITE DUDE) July 5, 2013

    I absolutely love Beyonce and respect Natalie Cole, but:

    There is only one Madonna.

    If I had a dollar for every time I heard a female singer being called “The New Madonna” I would be a millionaire. There is only one Madonna.

    Beyonce is building her own legacy – far away from that of Madonna’s; she’s more compatible to be compared to, AND WITH, ‘Tina Turner, Prince and Michael Jackson’, in the showmanship/live performance department, but not Madonna.

    The only artist, in this day and age who relates to Madonna, is Rihanna – and that’s only in terms of her Global, Pop culture stature – she still has a while to prove herself worthy of being an influential, iconic pop star.

    So…

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) July 5, 2013

      • jAMILAA July 5, 2013

        @truth u know i love u! but dont come for jared! he always says the truth and not biased…he sounds like an intelligent guy! never curses out anyone!

  22. MuiMui July 5, 2013

    Natalie it is not that other artist are trying to copy Beyonce they just love her and want a days pay for a days work. The artist can not help it if they was not born to look like Beyonce are dance and perform like her they just want to be able to do the best they can with what they was blessed with, Flaws And All.
    ARTIST WANT FAIRNESS!!!!!!
    People can’t help how they look and sound because Natalie you see your dad was one of the Great Legends and look at how good you have done and still yet you are a product of your dad ,you will never be your dad.
    People like you and the other greats should Offer some Pointers to those who work hard and try to do good that will help people to better understand that we all, and You all in the Arts are Blessed at different levels and that is the way God intended for that to be.

    Many artist are still trying to come into themselves, better establish themselves and come full circle and that take time to do , you can’t do it over night and while i know you realizes that. Some of my family caught your show last week some place in Oklahoma and they loved, enjoyed your show, and stated that You WAS ON FIYAH AND LOOKED and Sounded GREAT.

    Some how people need to realize that when they hit a bump in the road they need to stop step back,look at their situation and then give it all they have got,but it seem if artist hit a bump in the road they are Dragged, kicked to the curve and told Often about how BEYONCE , did it Better and is so much better than them and how Beyonce is always Right and always on point with everything she do and since that seems to always be the case HERE ON THIS BLOG that means that no one will ever compare to Her (Beyonce) Natalie that is a hard act to follow trying to be the world best like Beyonce and then to be told you have got to be Perfect and not live your own life but live a life that is free of DRAMA, AND HARD TIMES, THE LIFE OF PERFECTION IS A VERY HARD LIFE TO LIVE FOR THE ARTIST WHO ARE COMING OUT AND MAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW IN OTHER WORDS BEYONCE IS A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW THEREFO WHO IF ANYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO BE LIKE BEYONCE CARTER KNOWLES,WHO.

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) July 5, 2013

      ur novels are longer the “A Tale of Two Cities”

  23. Hadley July 5, 2013

    Neither Beyonce nor Rihanna are the ‘new Madonna’ Madonna is Madonna and they are their themselves end of story. But they are both icons for their generations for their own reasons.

  24. Lovebird July 5, 2013

    Beyonce also cannot be the new MJ. Look at MJs sales of Bad, History, Thriller, they’ve all been consistent and huge, Beyonce’s sales have been dropping like a rock in the sea especially since 2005 (I wonder why). She’s not even a huge “record” seller, especially since 2005.

    • Beyhive July 5, 2013

      So how many multiplatinum albums does rihanna have in the us again? Oh.
      Looks at:.
      TWOTW-8X Plat.
      SURVIVOR-4XPlat.
      FULFILLED-3XPlat.
      DIL-4X Plat.
      B’DAY-3XPlat.
      IASF-2XPlat.

      Rihanna-
      GGGB-2XPlat.
      Shade. Even if you don’t count DC sales.

      • Lovebird July 5, 2013

        Rihanna sells a million a year in the US, she’s consistent. Beyonce on the other hand has been on a downward spiral, just look at the figures you posted, her album sales are FALLING, especially since 2005.

      • MuiMui July 5, 2013

        @LOVEBIRD, You win the argument and also add to the debate FORGET about what Beyonce sells less talk about things that Rihanna has done that Beyonce nor Natalie will never be able to do because of their AGE.
        Rihanna has Broken new ground, Broken New Records, made the Music History Books, and if one was to compare Beyonce and Rihanna from 2005 up until today Rihanna has WRITTEN MORE MUSIC HISTORY IN THE MUSIC HISTORY BOOK THEN BEYINCE EVER DID STARTING WITH Beyonce SOLO CAREER,PERIOD END OF STORY
        THAT WAS NICE OF NATALIE WHY DON’T MADONNA SAY BEYONCE IS THE NEXT MADONNA TOMORROW IT WILL GIVE US SOMETHING TO ALWAYS TALK ABOUT, Right.

      • MuiMui July 5, 2013

        All we need now is for Tina to say that Beyonce is the next Tina and we can debate that,after all beyonce has studied every step Tina ever stepped.
        But Beyonce is never seen as copying others, she is always seem as being Inspired.
        Lord help me to keep my dam fingers off this key board ,thank you.

    • K***. July 5, 2013

      Neither is Rihanna anywhere as big as Madonna OR even Beyonce as an album seller, and yet you were calling her “The new Madonna” just a minute ago.. WTF

    • Beyhive July 5, 2013

      What’s funny is EVERYTIME Mariah released yearly albums she sold way more than one million. What’s Rihanna’s excuse?

  25. Avi July 5, 2013

    Natalie was obviously comparing Beyonce to Madonna in terms of star power, not as an artist or in terms of approach.

    Natalie is a bad b**** though. This Will Be > all your faves hits.

She influences a long list of younger artists. You cannot just give credit? Do you seriously think Beyoncé will not go down as anything?

      • etone July 5, 2013

        beyonce doesn’t give others credit. her legacy is being a thief and copycat

  30. THE IMMORTAL DIGGER BEY “JUST LIKE MY FAV” July 5, 2013

    I can see where Natalie is coming from but Madonna and THE QUEEN are nothing alike. Gaga is the new Madonna. THE QUEEN is just THE QUEEN OF POP CULTURE AND EVERYTHING AROUND IT, INCLUDING MUSIC! And Natalie is really talking about n terms of popularity. No female has captured this much attention since the likes of The Great Whitney and Madonna. THE QUEEN has fans n high places. Half of Hollywood came out for her concert n LA! It was like an award show lmao. Do it QUEEN! The woman is on powerful list and on break away from music. Some females can’t do that, with music out and touring. Love her or hate her, SHE’S THAT B****! So keep on Fawkin BOWING TO THE GREAT BGKC!!!!!! #UR FAVS FAV

  31. PEACH July 5, 2013

    Beyonce is talented so no.

  32. DOSSOME July 5, 2013

    But wait,Did Natalie lie though??If y’all looked at the context in which she based her analogy without putting all focus on Sam’s attempts at analyzing (putting words into Ms.Cole’s mouth),you won’t be busy arguing over nothing….Everytime someone gives Beyonce a compliment people on this site just lose sanity…

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      And everything other artistdo grear, good it is pickedto death and you know this NATALIE can give Beyonce all the praiseshe want to give her nd that is cool whatsome are saying that Natalie might be right in her thinking and i’d say that she is But it still do not erase the Fact that others will achieve is achieving as well as Beyonce and they never get
      praise and Rihanna is clapped at from day one so yes Natalie is right about Beyonce and what will your ass have to say when Rihanna is compared to Beyonce , Not a dam thing but how NOBODY CAN TOUCH BEYONCE, SHUT UP WITH THE SUDLE B/S WE HAVE HEAR IT ALL BEFORE.
      BEYONCE CAN BE SHOWERED WITH ALL THE LOVE THERE IS AND IT STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN HER ASS A DIAMOND ALBUM AND IFSHES A qUEEN, MICHAEL, MADONNA WHERE IS HER SALES TO REFLEX THAT.

  33. Lindo July 5, 2013

    Lol@these brain dead Rihanna fans who like to pretend that she is the “new” or “black” Madonna. Never! Rihanna can’t be Madonna because Madonna was never a puppet like her. Rihanna gets told what to do and when to do it. If Def Jam decided that it would be in their best interests to have that idiot record a country or k-pop album, she would do as she was told. Nobody ever puppet mastered Madonna or controlled her. Just like nobody tells Beyonce what to do or how to do it, so yeah Bey is closer to being like Madonna than Rihanna ever will. Rihanna is a black Samantha Fox.

    • Navy Sailor July 5, 2013

      Lol! Rihanna does as she pleases and Def Jam has no choice but to go along with it since she is their BIGGEST artist.

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      LINDO the world know that Rihanna is more like Mag then Beyonce i respect Natalie and love her and Beyonce but honey there is no way in this world that Beyonce is more like Madonna than Rihanna is
      Rihanna is a free spirit who live her life i the spot light OWNS IT, and is one of the most CONTROVERSIAL ARTIST WHO EVER COME DOWN THE PIPE SINCE MADONNA, END OF STORY, AND RIHANNA HAS THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT.

      BEYONCE ON THE OTHER HAND IS TRYING SO HARD TO BE A LADY WHEN SOMEBODY TOUCHED BEYONCE SHE WAS ALL SOFT AND WARM AND WHEN SOMEBODY TOUCHED AND HELD ON TO RIHANNA WILD ASS RIHANNA TRIED TO KNOCK THEIR BLOCK OFF WITH HER MIC.
      BEYONCE IS WORKING TO HARD TO BE PERFECT TO BE LIKE MADONNA , NATALIE.

  34. ohh seriously July 5, 2013

    madonna is as cheap as anybody else. but hey tgj, stop putting beyonce on that high plastic pedestal.

    she’s good. but…

    and f*** ya iconic stlyes. where are we here? dummies, zombies and people following some sorta fake queens everywhere. don’t make me laugh.

    and natalie cole? lol how much you can climb up somebody’s ass with such a statement? that ridiculous. underling.

  35. Emeral July 5, 2013

    She wasn’t talking about ARTISTRY AND STYLE stop over analysing people. Did she say she has the same shock factor? Same performances style? Same attitude? NO. Natalie is not stupid when her dad is THE Nat King Cole I think she knows a thing or two about music and the industry.

    • DOSSOME July 5, 2013

      Exactly!!!!!People overcomplicate the simplest of issues…What can’t people understand in Natalie Cole’s statement?It’s pretty easy to understand if you ask me

      Natalie is only human like all of us But we all know that a Legend like Natalie saying that Beyonce is the next Madonna is Huge in the small minds of a blog who hates on Rihanna who the Media has written her name beside Madonna and looked at her style,action and her Controversial issues and compared her to Mag many times for all to see and what Rihanna is doing isn’t made up its her Life ,its the way she started out and the way she persent Herself, where as if Beyonce goes to far off into left field she will end up looking LIKE A DAM FOOL.
      It don’t matter a dam who people see you as any way its who you want to be, and if you dig deep Natalie is putting Beyonce down some notches , i mean after all they do say that Beyonce is a Great singer and Madonna has never been hailed as a great singer, Mad is a Great Entertainer, Performer. Madonna just always was in the know on what she wanted to do and nobody was going to make her live the way they wanted her to live her life, BEYONCE one the other hand has been groomed to be perfect and a lady and those things do not Figure into the Equation with Mag,at all she has always did it her own way not like her DADDY
      AND COMPANY TOLD HER TO DO LIKE BEYONCE HAS DONE HER ENTIRE CAREER.
      BEYONCE IS 31 YEARS OLD AND SINGING ABOUT BEING A GROWN WOMAN Rihanna been singing grown woman lyrics since day one as a matter of fact Rihanna is the one who gave Beyonce and Kelly the BLUE PRINT and the okay to sing grown up music.

      REMEMBER RIHANNA HAD A SONG ABOUT A RUDE BOY BEFORE BEYONCE CAME OUT WITH ANY OF HER MUSIC ON HER LAST ALBUM AND RIHANNA SURE DID HAVE RUDE BOY OUT BEFORE KELLY had motivation and kisses down low, FEEL ME,NOW CARRY ON UNTIL I THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE..
      REMEMBER RIHANNA PERFORMING RUDE BOY AT THE KIDS CHOICE AWards with the two robots now yall know beyonce would never ever do anything like that sing about a rude boy at the kids choice awards show, come on Natalie.

    Natalie also praised Queen Kelly bwahahahahahhahaahahahaha. Yessss Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeth CFlopfawkin Squad. And that is what b****** don’t get. U bum b****** like @LoveStank sit here all day hating. For what??? THE QUEEN has fawkin Presidents and Certified Legends praising her! The talent is so damn weak n this generation of music, u really don’t hear to many legends saying nothing. But when they do, KING B usually comes up. H*** mad that their favs only get praises from pornstars bwahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha

  38. Lovebird July 5, 2013

    Exactly, Rihanna is not the new or black Madonna, she is like Madonna in the sense that in this digital era, no one is touching her. Rihanna is everywhere and she’s too young to be called a legend or icon, maybe after 5 more years of owning your fav.

    • Red July 5, 2013

      So why has Taylor Swift over taken her as the most downloaded digital artist?

      • Lovebird July 5, 2013

        Most downloaded digital artist in the USA, worldwide is a different story.

      • Red July 5, 2013

        So shes not untouchable if she cant even keep US under her belt.

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      LOVEBIRD You said it and Beyonce is far to modest to be Madonna,Mag Bucked the system and did it her way.
      Natalie loves Beyonce and feels a need to help Build Beyonce up no doubt others will come out and help build a fire under Beyonce to help try and keep her build up on high
      so as to make the other artist feel like they are on the bottom forever .Less see how long Beyonce ride this puff of smoke.
      Rihanna is compared to Madonna and two of the best ways ever and that is with her Music doing the Talking not anything else. Rihanna # 1’s compared to Mag, and Rihanna following in Madonna with # 1’s in the uk and selling the most ever right behind madonna where is Beyonce ranked at?
      First Beyonce is MJ , now Madonna Beyonce you are straight raising hell girl.

    • K***. July 5, 2013

      If Rihanna is an icon/legend with only 29 million albums sold worldwide, WTF is Beyonce with more than that sold in her hometown alone?

      A god?

      And Rihanna isn’t “owning” a jack s*** but flops Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and others on their lane.

      That’s the only way she’ll look impressive with her career – when compared to flops and young children with no careers.

      Certainly f****** NOT Beyonce.

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      lovebird Rihanna is the new Rihanna in mind body and soul and it make so many bitter that she has a mind of her own. And Rihanna will become a legend in due time.
      Rihanna is not always trying to add a Queen or King Title to her name she just goes with the flow and these simpletons on this blog will realize sooner than later that Rihanna is here to stay and she do not give a dam who they call her as long as her checks get signed and shes in the mouths of many any time Beyonce name comes up.
      And Rihanna fans know that she has accomplished a lot at her tender age and that shes still a work in progress like many are.

  39. Red July 5, 2013

    Taylor Swift is the queen of digital sales not Rihanna. Catch up.

    • Lovebird July 5, 2013

      in the US yes, worldwide Rihanna’s reign won’t let up.

      • Red July 5, 2013

        Its not technically the whole world then if she cant even include the biggest music market in the word.

    • JER July 5, 2013

      Taylor Swift isn’t even the queen of the fairytale world she lives in.

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      RED Taylor over taking Rihanna is like ADELE OVER TAKING THEM ALL.
      Taylor might be the new digital queen but that do not erase the Fact that Rihanna was the First IN DIGITAL DOWN LOAD HISTORY, IT MADE HIS-TO-RIH.

      See no matter how hard you try to make it about Taylor and Beyonce Wins there is always somebody better.
      And while you are comparing why not name the Biggest Earners for the last four years FORBES , look it up and you will see Rihanna Name listed among the names and that is what count at the end of the day and each year. DO ME A FAVOR AND NAME THE TOP TEN BEST IN DIGITAL SALES FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS LOOK IT UP BECAUSE RIHANNA HAS HELD THE TITLE FOR SOME TIME..AND JUST SO YOU KNOW RIHANNA LOVES TAYLOR SHE SENT HER ROSES AFTER WEST CLOWNED TAYLOR AT THAT AWARD SHOW, REMEBER. SO WHAT IS YOUR BEEF ABOUT.

  40. CzarM July 5, 2013

    Like Madonna, Beyonce makes her own decisions and controls her own brand. The only thing Rihanna controls is her Instagram account. Beyond that she is just a conveyer belt pop star; interchangeable with the next one. Totally manufactured and assembled like a toy from a box. She’s more like black Britney with a bad attitude and a much lower budget.

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      BEYONCE DAD made all the decision up until he got canned now Jayz make them for her.

  41. Rosie July 5, 2013

    If Rihanna is like a conveyer belt, interchangeable with the next pop star, why haven’t they replaced her yet?

    Beyonces better than Madonna tho

    • ROL July 5, 2013

      Exactly. Madonna is overrated.

      • Truth Hurts September 18, 2013

        It’s actually the contrary. Beyonce is overrated! She steals songwriring credits cause she can’t write songs, If I Were a Boy, Bootylicious, Irreplaceable are all examples of fake credits. At least Madonna is a f****** good and real lyricist/producer. They say Beyonce can dance but can “shaking your ass and weave like a stripper” be considered dancing? NO!!! Ciara is a real dancer!
        Not to mention that there are thousands of great voices out there, better then Beyonce, but those people do not have a father named Matthew Knowles who bought grammys to her daughter (he was part of the committee) or a husband named Jay Z. On the other hand Madonna is a self-made artist
        Madonna >>>>>>>> Beyonce FACT!

  45. Rosie July 5, 2013

Why has Katy Perry, Justin Beiber and Taylor Swift last albums sold more WW and they are making more money lmaoooooooooooo. The Hoeianna stans luv to make them selves look stupid and slow as fawk lmao. That H** will always b touched. What has she done but break singles sales??????? S***. Save it h***, the b****** career is just about over. Her album sales are declining quicker than she can spread her funky c******.

    Is Flop Now top 100 on iTunes yet? Even Summertime Sadness is on it’s way to surpass it within the next couple of days.

    • ^AKA^ July 5, 2013

      Wtf does this have to do with Rihanna and Right Now? Anyway, it peaked at #68 on Billboard without a video/performance/promo while Video Games with good promo/video was just #91. Not to mention that all her other singles failed to make Hot 100.

      • Rosie July 5, 2013

        Lies, Young & Beautiful reached #22 just a few weeks ago and she has only released 3 singles for Born To Die in the US, Summertime Sadness was just sent to radio 3 days ago.

    Madonnas so overrated she can’t sing can bearly dance shes not someone they should compare Beyonce to thats an insult tbh.

    • K***. July 5, 2013

      Madonna is an ARTIST before being a singer or dancer..

    • ^AKA^ July 5, 2013

      Madonna writes all of her songs, she can play the guitar and she CAN sing. Just because her voice is not powerful like Whitney’s it doesn’t mean that she can’t sing. She won Grammy for Pop Vocal Album – Ray Of The Light so she has acclaim for her singing too. She is an ARTIST, like @K*** said.

        Stay pressed. Janet Jackson, your fav, will never surpass Madonna, that’s why you are mad 😉 Madonna is a better singer, songwriter and she can play an instrument. Janet is just a better dancer (her tiny vocals and whispering are not singing for me). I can understand why you hate Madonna 😛

      • ROL July 5, 2013

        Sorry but she can’t sing.

      • JATM July 5, 2013

      • steph July 5, 2013

        Madonna didn’t write any of her songs on her first two albums

      • ^AKA^ July 5, 2013

        She didn’t write all of them, but she wrote most of them. Check writing credits. Janet is the one who didn’t write ***** on her first 2 albums. Madonna is more of an artist than Janet, deal.

      • MJSCAROUSEL July 5, 2013

        Everybody knows that Madonna steals writing credits.

  50. My Forehead Tho July 5, 2013

    In terms of impact, longevity, and influence of course she’s the Modern Madonna. She’ll most likely be bigger than Madonna when she’s her age too.

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      Perhaps since Beyonce working harder now then she did 16 years ago that is very possible.

  51. Navy Sailor July 5, 2013

  53. JER July 5, 2013

    Nope. If you have to constantly tell, remind, encourage, and insist to people that you are something great, you are clearly not. BeYAWNce is not an icon, a legend, or a songwriter. She’s just lucky. Ask Ashanti, J.Lo, Amerie, etc. Everything BIONCI has ever tried to do has already been done by bigger and better artists. Her entire career is a page from someone else’s legacy. You kids don’t remember that your 4lop fave came out with braids and dark skin in late ’97 and had a little success. Suddenly around 1999 she got the Mariah Carey Butterfly make-over that J.Lo got in 1998. All the late 90’s/early 2000’s R&B crossover girls looks are modeled after Mariah Carey’s Butterfly era. Yal ho’s are too young to remember when coloured girls started rocking that look because in your teenage minds it’s always been. You gorls really show yer age and I’ll read you these bedtime stories every time til you get it POW

    • K***. July 5, 2013

      If Beyonce with all her achievements is a “flop”, WTF is Rihanna?

      • JER July 5, 2013

        I’m sorry, yer right. BeYAWNce is the queen. I mean you get what you pay for, right?

        Anyway, what does Rihanna have to do with this? You are giving me Family Feud bad answer T’s honey. Do you just walk around all day blurting out RIHANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooo grrrrrrl. Together. Get it.

      • K***. July 5, 2013

        Rihanna has nothing to do with it but you come on Beyonce’s threads and call her a “flop” and expect the others not to do the same about your fav?

      • JER July 5, 2013

        My fave? I didn’t realize Rihanna was my fave. It must be all those albums of hers I and nobody else bought.

    • Lolz July 5, 2013

      Lol delusional hate at its finest. If beyonce was just ‘lucky’ she would not have lasted this long or have the huge fanbase she has. I cant believe your putting all her success down to luck. Sit down with that theory of yours.

      • JER July 5, 2013

        Timing is everything honey. As Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson’s career were winding down in the late 90’s that’s when J.Lo popped up to fill the void and then Ashanti and Ciara and BeYAWNce, and Amerie, and a slew of other ho’s. BIONCI was fortunate enough to have her dad and boyfriend pour enough money into her machine to keep it going. She was also smart to stagger her releases once some new b**** named Rihanna blew up. Again, very lucky. Because BeYAWNce isn’t as good a dancer as C-error or even J.Lo, and isn’t a great R&B songwriter like Ashanti. So how does the mediocre, less talented girl end up slightly outlasting the others? How did she manage that? Luck and money. I commend BIONCI tho I really do, she had her time. She was the hottest product on the market for about 5 years.

      • MuiMui July 5, 2013

        @JER Preach the Gospel according to King James it make them so Angry to see that Rihanna is still standing Tall aganist the hate, lies and slander and she could care less about being a twin to Beyonce.
        Rihanna is carefully building her own Throne, Castle LANE and Net Worth just like Beyonce was doing when she was Rihanna age.
        Beyonce wishes that there was a way she could let the air out of Rihanna tires which got aired up by her husband from the start and that is why Rihanna owned 2007 and Beyonce has never owned a single year back when she was going stronger there qas THERE WAS always Taylor and Alicia and since then when Riahnna came on board Beyonce has had to Share and Share alike the Lime light with Rihanna and these SIMPLETONS know the rest is His-To-Rih.
        GLOBAL RECORDS HAS ACHIEVENMENT RECORDED FOR RIHANNA AND BEYONCE NOT SO MUCH.
        BILLBOARD AWARDED RIHANNA BIG FOR HER MUCH CHARD SUCCESS, WITH THAT BILLBOARD FOR BIGGEST POP ARTIST FOR THE LAST TWO DECADES, OR LAST TWENTY YEARS AND WE KNOW THAT PISSES MANY OFF. BEYONCE WON THAT HUGE MILLINIUM AWARD AND NOBODY ELSE HAS WON THAT AWARD SINCE AND I KNOW THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE WORTHY.
        RIHANNA HAS WON THE ARTIST of the Century Award
        She won Artist of the Decade Award back in 2009 and since has won the Artist of the last two Decades award and that is already in the History Books and the Beyonce fans can lump it because Rihanna is and ALWAYS BE A THRONE IN BEYONCE SIDE AND THEIRS.

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        @ Jer B******* so then you can apply that every new star that comes with a generation. Theres a reason people LIKE Beyoncé over other artists are you that dumb to recognize that? Beyoncé less talented? um she has just as much if not more charisma and stage presence and can SING better than Ciara and J Lo who are like glorified dancers. Once again its YOUR opinion because you don’t like her not the truth. And dead at you talking about talent when you love off Rihanna. So whats her career based on then?

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

    I don’t think cole is comparing their music she’s comparing their impact on society, the dedication of their fans, what they stand for and their commercial success and appeal, everyone wants a price of beyonce she is everywhere. No other popster has that at the moment. The same way madonna was always seen as ” bigger” for no real reason, beyonce is seen in the same way.

    • JER July 5, 2013

      Impact on society? BYE

    • MuiMui July 5, 2013

      IMPACT ON SOCIETY WOULD BE RIHANNA
      BEING THE SOCIAL NET WORKING QUEEN .
      IF BEYONCE IMPACT WAS SO BIG THEN HOW IS IT THAT RIHANNA HAS MORE SOCIAL NETWORKING SKILLS/IMPACT THEN HER, AND DON’T TRY TO TELL ME SOCIAL NETWORKING DO NOT COUNT BECAUSE FORBES WITH THEIR LYING ASSES STATED THAT TO BE INFLUENTIAL THEY STATED THAT YOUR SOCIAL NET WORKING SKILLS COUNTS AND IF THAT BE THE CASE THEN FORBES LIED AS FAR AS RIHANNA IS CONCERNED BECAUSE SHE IS AHEAD OF BEYONCE IN SOCIAL NETWORKING SEE HOW THEY PLAY GAMES AND LIE TO THE PUBLIC , HER IMPACT ON WHO AND WHAT SINCE BEYONCE KEEPS IT ALL TO HERSELF and her fans knock all the others hustle .
      IMPACT IS SOME ONE COMING FROM STRACH AND BUILDING A EMPIRE FROM NOTHING, SIR.

      AND ANOTHER THING HOW CAN BEYONCE IMPACT ANYBODY WHEN SHE WALKS THROUGH A DOOR AND CLOSES IT SHUT BEHIND HER, YOU WOULD THINK SHE WOULD HELP KELLY HER PLAY SISTER BUT NAW BEYONCE IS STILL AS GREEDY AS ALL GET OUT AND SHE NEVER SAYS ANYTHING NICE TO AND ABOUT RIHANNA IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO SNEAKY SLY CRAP ABOUT HOW SHES NOT SEEING BABY BLUE IF SHE KEEP SEEING CHRIS , JAYZ NEED TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM RIHANNA BECAUSE SHE WILL NEVER GROW UP AND HOW RIHANNA NEED TO GET HER LIFE RIGHT BEYONCE THAT SLY ONE WHO BIGGEST GOALS AT THIS POINT IS TO APPEAR PERFECT AND THE BEST , BEFORE THE WORLD AND POINT OUT OTHERS FAULTS ,THE WORLD IS ON TO BEYONCE AND THE SILENT CLOSED LIPPED GAMES BEING PLAYED ON THE VIEWING PUBLIC.

  56. CzarM July 5, 2013

    Why would Def Jam and Roc Nation fire or replace Rihanna if she’s currently working for them? That makes no sense. Lets just see how much their loyalties extend when she hits that inevitable wall and fails to meet their target goal. That happens to every pop star at some point and trust that it will happen to her too. I’d be willing to bet that they won’t be loyal to her and will quickly start eying someone else for the position she currently fills. Hell, Roc Nation already has Rita on reserve and are basically waiting for Rihanna to go rogue so that they can give Rita her stage.

    Rihanna isn’t the modern madonna she lacks impact and Madonna actually can perform and has iconic performances while I can’t say the same about rihanna. Madonna is madonna there’s no other madonna.
    Rihanna is a beautiful girl and has achieved lot of things but you just can’t compare her to madonna.
    Atleast Beyonce has memorable Iconic Performances and some of her songs actually a legacy.

    But overall there will only be one madonna that’s Madonna!!

    In Bey’s case, these being Rihanna and Rita Ora after her.
    So, let us know…

    White girls, here and in europe do not want to be beyonce in anyway shape or form. I do not see white girls trying to dress like Bey. White pop girls do not want to be like bey, neither. Selena gomez said she wants to make ‘ rih type music. Gomez even copied the loud video. Perez hilton just dubbed Miley cyrus the white rihanna. Miley even went to Rih’s producer, mike will and took a rejected rih track. Now rih is walking around in gold jewels, alexander wang, short edgy hair, red lips and tattoos – THESE ARE ALL RIH’S FASHION SWAG from rated r days. She is even doing the rihanna mouth swag pose. White girls have never try to imitate beyonce. Jessie J wrote do it like a dude in the style of rih….you can hear it when she says ” man dem man dem ” that is west indian slanng. Where does rih come from?

    What about Rita whora? Even copying rih’s tattoos in the same place. Even copying her tweets and instagram . Ie: Rih tweeted about jay’s new album, that whora done the same thing 2 days later. Her GQ is a rip off of what rih done. This is a real madonna effect when white girls copy / study your every move. Beyonce has never had that affect.

    Madonna shut the competition down in 80’s and 90s. Tiffany, janet, paula abdul, kylie ( clone ) minogue, cyndi lauper. Bey has been shut down by rihanna, how can you be madonna, when another b**** is bigger than you? Madonna played the most important stadium in Europe like stade de france and twickeham etc……….Bey has and never will. Rih has , this mean she is the new madonna. It is funny now, all of a sudden beyonce is desperate to compare herself to madonna!

    Madonna was video icon; rih is youtube icon her videos are bigger and better than beyonce. The youtube views proves this. Madonna slayed with every genre, including dance and dubstep. Same as rihanna, bey is flop and can only do black american RNB. Bey could never do dubstep. Madonna was chameleon, same as rih, bey has had that same blonde wig. Rih is unpredictable, like madonna, they never make the same album twice or repeat themselves. Bey is STILL trying to live her DIL IASF days. IAMSF was cheap copy of GGGB.

    Madonna was a fashion muse. Rih is a muse to Balmain, Stelle mccartney, Tom Ford, Givency, Armani etc. Bey is no muse to no one in fashion, with fat body. Rih is edgy s** symbol. bey was only seen as ‘ s*** ‘ when she copied JLO’s booty swag. Bey copied JLO’s image. Madonna never copies from her peers. Madonna was compared to the great blonde from past like marylin monroe. The sunday times compared Rih to Princess diana, another great blonde. Enough said.

    Madonna is a true POP star ( the black female popstar ) who makes Global smash pop music, like madonna. Bey was just rnb singer who crossover and had a good run from 2003 to 2009. End of. Madonna never ran scared. She has teh guts to drop an album no matter what. Bey is scared a fat f*** who is now hiding jayz. Enough jay.

    In oder to be a new madonna, you need a rags to riches tale. Madonna was working class girl from Detroit. Rih was working class from Barbados. They had to hustle. Bey had her evil greedy rich dad f****** people over to make her pop. He was even on the grammy board of voters. F*** outta trying to compare that hack to the queen of pop. Also, sean penn beat up madonna. HA HA HA Rih is in great company. Madonna will work with rih before beyonce.

    Admit, bey is not s*** and rih is the black madonna. DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Lolz July 5, 2013

      I am from London and her concerts are made up of white people so sit.

      • rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

        She has never played a stadium in ANY EUROPEAN COUNTRY

        FACT! MADONNA HAS AND SO HAS RIH. FACT!

        SIT , H**!

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        And? Doesn’t mean white people don’t like her? I am half white and have people in my inner circle who would quickly disagree with you. Rihanna is practically irrelevant in Latin/South America shes not even touring there let alone doing stadiums like Beyonce. Beyoncé has toured EVERYWHERE in all continents stadiums or not. And she hasn’t finished announcing her legs yet.

      • rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

        Bey is still not the new madonna, Rih is more of the new madonna than bey ever was. They have even played the exact same stadium – only was younger when she old out .

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        I didn’t say she was. Im talking about white people.

      • Lolz July 5, 2013

        Rihanna is not either

    • rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

      Madonna still holds the records. Rih has outsold bey . She has sold more albums that her ( even jlo and alicia keys have sld LP’s than bey ) She has murked beyonce in UK and germany on all fronts and she has more USA number1’s that bey. How can u be the new madonna, when another girl is outselling you?

      B****** dont come close to madonna. Britney , Xtina, alicia keys, rih taylor swift, adele , gaga all f*** beyonce over. Even kylie is bigger in UK than beyo0nce ever ever was.

      Bey should stay in her wack lane with diano ross and tina turner. Who the f*** is Natalie cole? Rih is bigger than that wack ass fool.

    “Girls want to look like her; they want to dress like her… I think that she could be a great influence”

    hmm this sounds like something that would be said about Rihanna (wether you’re a hater or not, you know it’s true). Cough *Miley* Cough * cyrus* Cough *Rita Ora* Cough *Willow smith* Cough…

    Gurl bye @ Jer. Everytime ur h** ass comment on KING B’S posts, its always hate. Why is that?? B**** u are just a miserable s***, with no life. U annd @ Rated H** must b bum sisters. Cause that’s all u h*** do, is hate.

  71. Tash July 5, 2013

    Peope having breakdowns in this bish. Like seriously though shes not talking about their similarities as artists I get where shes coming from people need to calm down. And anyone who denies Beyoncé of impact is delusional because they don’t like her. When the young kids are grown they will not be focusing their sources on the 80s and 90s divas to compare, it will be the people they grew up with (as in the stars NOW). You seriously think Beyoncé will not be part of that pack needs a reality check when shes already hugely respected and quoted as an influence. The fact she is even being mentioned in the same sentence as Madonna, whether you agree with it or not, shows she has had impact. The fact we are even debating about it shows she has. Her longevity and relevance speaks for itself. People doubted Madonna at the time too. There will always be people who will not give credit because they just do not like her. But times change and you will see.

  72. Savannah July 5, 2013

    I disagree. Beyonce is the new Diana Ross in my opinion. She went from lead singer of a. Successful group to a solo superstar, Beauty, class, grace and commercial appeal. I think Rihanna is closer to that classification based off of controversy, ever changing image and #1 hits. But at the end of the day, Madge is Madge.

  73. rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

    The f*** outta here with this BS from this no name crack h**. Rih is bigger than this old h**. Bey is struggling, ducking and diving, in hiding,. She knows she will never get a hit. She will flop worse than kanye. Madonna was never ‘ struggled ‘ Madonna has always been on top. Bey is not on top and has not been on top since rih came on the scene. TBH, I do not think Bey will ever drop an album again, just flop ass snippets. Madonna next LP will have a rih collabo.

    To be the new madonna ( not even black madonna ) no b**** can come close. No b**** can come close to madonna even to this day.

    You mean to say no b**** comes close to Beyonce?

    Adele has a diamond US LP AND LP that sold 21 mill. Bey does not.

    Taylor has opened with over 1 mill first week. Bey never has I am sure Taylor is bigger in the USA than bey.

    JLO AND ALicia keys sold more albums that bey, Get on the floor by JLO is bigger than ANY beyonce hit.

    Rih has sold more albums and has more number 1’s than bey. Rih is bigger than bey in UK and germany. How can u be the new madonna when countries like UK and germany do not even check for you as much as your younger rival. As I said no b**** came close to madonna. Many b****** murk beyonce.

    Britney owns beyonce whole life. Beyonce coudld never compete with Brit.

    Gaga debut sold over 15 and has some of the biggest hits. Gaga gave bey her biggest WW hit. Gaga has some of the biggest tours in history – she came out after fat beyonce.

    Xtina has sold more albums than bey too.

    Kylie , WW is bigger than beyonce and she has been around 25 years – even beat cancer. Beyonce is done!

    So, what the f*** is the crack h** talking about? F*** outta here! Outside teh african american community, no one really give a s*** about beyonce. She is flop in Germany – she never was big . Her UK tour was not even sold out. Billboard had the proof.

    • rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

      Janet has sold more than bey. Do not even put that wack ass fat b**** on the same level as the Queen.

  74. Bey Fan July 5, 2013

    Not sure what she based her opinion on. But it’s her opinion. I dont agree. I can think of MANY iconic artist that Beyonce could be compared to, for a number of reason… but not Madonna.

    But I love Natalie….

  75. Jake July 5, 2013

    Beyoncé ain’t no new Madonna , she’s more Michael Jackson or Tina Turner than Madonna -_-” , Rihanna or GaGa are .

  76. rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

    “I think that it’s going to be interesting to see where Beyoncé’s career goes. Because now I would say, she is the new Madonna. Girls want to look like her; they want to dress like her… I think that she could be a great influence. She’s a nice girl, definitely not a “diva” in the sense of what we like to use as that definition.”

    Name a singer who has tried to look like beyonce? – the same b**** that ripped off JLO’s ghetto fat booty. Dont say rih, she was forced into that and she cut her hair off to go agains that. Dress like her? In which country do girls dress like beyonce? Rih has b****** WW wearing her clothing line. People rock trapstar and Koko tai Zai because RIH PUT THEM ON. Rih has girls wearing snapbacks, before only dudes uses to do that. ” Got my raybans on and I’m feeling hella cool tonite ” Rih has b****** rocking raybans. Tom Ford said, ” If rihanna wears it, my clientele will wear it ”

    Great influence? On who? Did beyonce make EDM pop WW? Did beyonce make everyone run to mike will for rathet trap music? What song on the radio in influenced by beyonce sound? Her crazy in love sound was stolen from amerie.

    This crack h** is not even making a valid argument as to why bey is the new madonna. Beyonce is the one is influenced by rihanna. Trying to dress edgy liker her; copying her blueprint etc. If you look at beyonce on instagram u will see her. Baddie bey ? All the pictures on her in edgy fashion designers – teh same ones RIH WORE YEARS BEFORE? HA HA HA Even trying work with Sia, cos of rih?

    F O H

    • rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

      IASF was influenced by GGGB. Run the world was influenced by what dub step that rih done with chase and status. Even the dream said Rih’s voice makes his work pop the most. He did not say beyonce cos she is basic. She can sing, but so f****** what, every woman at church can sing.

      • Rihanna killed beyho’s career July 5, 2013

        BeUglyonce is an unoriginal flop ho copying Rihanna. Run the World video was a copy of Rihanna’s Hard video. Every dance move was unoriginal.SMH

  77. steph July 5, 2013

    I love Beyoncé. She is the best performer of this generation. She is like a updated Tina Turner. I cant wait to see Beyoncé do stadium spectacular shows like Tina! Madonna is sooooo different from Beyoncé. Beyoncé is a raw talented performer. Madonna is a visiual artist that needs lots of lights, camera action to put on a great show. Beyoncé just needs a stage and a microphone & she will slay. Madonna is a POP star. Beyoncé is not a POP star. Madonna is more commercial successful due to her having more hits and Controversy moments in her career. ALSO LOTS OF SHOCK VALUE!!! Madonna is a great performer in a way of thought & a whole bunch of creative ideas. Beyoncé is just a RAW TALENTED performer nothing more

    • rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

      And yet who is bigger? Who has laster longer?

      • Yaz July 5, 2013

        How can you even compare? Beyonce was in diapers when Madonna first started out.

    • Truth Hurts September 18, 2013

      At Vma’s 89 or Blond Ambition Tour 1990 Madonna didn’t need all those lights and cameras, she’s simply a great performer whether you like it or not. But most of all she’s a real songwriter and artist.
      Madonna is a way better artist then Beyonce and Beyonce is a way better singer but is it enough to sing better? No! Beyonce is there cause of her father and husband! OVERRATED B****!

  78. rita WHORA even copied ALL RIH’S TATTOOS July 5, 2013

    For example, in the same way a controversial hit making blonde couldn’t rock the Pop charts without being compared to the ‘Material Girl’, it’s impossible to watch a Pop belle rock out in a front of a wind machine without being compared to Bey.

    So whay are white girls like Miley and Rita whora being compared to rihanna? Why are they being called white rihanna’s or poor mans rihanna? Whom is comparing rihanna to beyonce? Rih is the bigger star. Rih is bigger in germany and the UK than bey, so how can she be compared to her lessor?

    In adding to this, both ladies enjoy the unique- and at times uncomfortable position- of standing the test of time and watching acts they inspired ‘grow up’ to become their closest rivals in today’s territory.

    Only rihanna is getting bigger and beyonce is now in hiding.

  79. Dane July 5, 2013

    It’s very interesting how people who NO credentials discredit this LEGEND for her opinion. She’s been in thei industry over 40 plus years, so she’s seen everything. She didn’t make the comparison based on TALENT but instead based her comparison on influence. Huge DIFFERENCE!!!! Legends from Diana, MJ, Prince, Anita Baker, Tina Turner, Mariah, Madonna etc…know Beyonce is/will be something special 20 30 years from now. Beyonce is an ICON and Legend in the making (even though her resume speak legendary attributes). Beyonce resume stems longer than the majority of our current legends and she;s only been in the game pushing 18 years.

  80. Yaz July 5, 2013

    Natalie Cole has been in the business even longer than Madonna she has seen her come and go, shes seen times change. Do not disrespect her opinion when she knows the industry more than all of us just because you don not agree.

  81. KingBeyBitch July 5, 2013

    Are you people really saying Rihanna is the new Madonna because she has more hits lol , f*** a hits dont only make people legends look at Mariah she has more hits than Madonna but yet madonna is labeled QUEEN OF POP. I say no more

KING B is more on the MJ/Tina Turner level! Fawkin Amazing Stage Slayers, with Raw Talent! Madonna is great but she’s neither. Natalie has been around for decades. And I know she knows an star, when she sees one. She’s from the era, where 98% of the people who had an record deal, had amazing talent! That’s praise Hoeianna and others could only dream about.

    Natalie Cole is a legend in her own right. So I understand what she’s saying in a sense, even though all of the nay sayers don’t seem to understand smdh. Although Beyonce’s legacy is similar to Madonna’s when it comes to their very successful brands, amazing performances, and generational impact. I wouldn’t consider her the new Madonna. If I were to compare her to any other legends of the past it would be Tina Turner, Diana Ross, or MJ before I would Madonna. If I were to consider any artist from this generation the “New Madonna” it would be definitely be Gaga…but thats just me.

    is it a fact ? No.

    But it is his opinion.

    I see Bey as Beyonce and Madonna is madonna.

  90. S****** Blonde July 5, 2013

    Look at all the people fighting over who’s the NEW MADONNA, get over it, that’s not gonna happen, no Kylie, Britney, Gaga, Rihanna ect, ect…even Debbie Harry said that she could have been Madonna, Cher said that too but none of them could make it as long as Madonna Louise Ciccone have air in her lungs, all female Pop stars will live in her shadows, is like that and will always be like that, as for Beyonce, i understand Natalie’s point, i say all female Pop stars, meaning (all female pop stars wants to emulate Madonna’s career, so far all of them has failed to do so), Beyonce is not a Pop star, she incorporates elements of Pop in her music, like Madonna she seems to be in control of her crap, whatever she is not as revered as Madonna is, i think she is one if not the most interesting female singer of our times, she will definitely has her place in the legends club,
    however Madonna will always be the most remembered female musician, the woman did it all, her influence is not only found it in Pop girl singers but also in films, fashion, ect, ect…her impact in Popular Culture is just unparalleled.

  91. Anne July 5, 2013

    I see her point. If anyone deserves to step into those shoes it’s Beyoncé. I think she is the best performer alive and she does leave the sort of impact and impression and sets standards of comparison at the level Madonna did at her peak.

    She is speaking in GENERAL not comparing them as artists. As artists no may I see Beyonce more as Tina or Diana. Natalie Cole is knowledgable so sit down. Of course nobody will touch Madonna but people who deny Beyonce of her impact after all this time are a joke and seriously delusional. Beyonce is already an icon for her generation and will be seen as a legend in the future whether you like it or not. She is already garnering that name for herself.

    And DEAD at the people who in a same breath say Beyonce is such a thief so she will never touch Madonna when Madonna is the biggest f****** thief in the industry. The uneducated struggle. If that’s something they do have common though.

  96. Rihanna killed beyho’s career July 5, 2013

    BeUglyonce’s music is horrid her style is stale. I am still looking for a Bey track that moves me. Nothing that she does comes from the heart. Everything is fake and forced. The only reason her stans call her the best is because they hate on other artist.

    • Drew July 5, 2013

      Boo hoo. And Rihannas music is trash to me. Its no only her stans that call her the best and the queen. Only people that don’t give her credit are pressed people like you.

    Madonna would be the last person I would compare Beyonce to shes a young Tina/Diana. But I guess she means in terms of star power which I respect her opinion. Beyonce is a huge star and people very often get compared to her already. And she can sneez in the wrong place and it be in the press or a twitter trend. Not to much her biggest hits have had impact too.

    “while Madonna’s cause lies in her art and Beyonce’s in her voice/performance style”

    Good point!

    “in the same way a controversial hit making blonde couldn’t rock the Pop charts without being compared to the ‘Material Girl’, it’s impossible to watch a Pop belle rock out in a front of a wind machine without being compared to Bey.”

    That’s excellent analysis. I didn’t think of it like that. This is one of the better posts I’ve read here for sure. Keep up with these kind of posts which actually bring something different to the conversation.
