I'm reading these comments, and it seems some of you are just ignorant as hell. Nobody is hating on that BITCH Beyonce, the girl does have talent, her performances are amazing, but face it her voice isnothing to phone home about. She is number one not because she is talented but because she is a PR genius and knows how to marketherself and stay in the public eye. THAT"S ALL !!! Her fans are soo quick to say she made it better and honey that is a matter of opinion. And as for the writing, we all kno she is not the most talented writer and we know she has jacked the styles of numerous lesser known artists and writers, but that isn't the problem, because we all emulate something by someone else at some time or the other, THE PROBLEM IS SHE DOESN"T GIVE CREDIT TO THE PEOPLE WHO SHE COPIES, SHE CLAIMS TO BE AN ORIGINAL, AN INNOVATOR, SHE JUST NEEDS TO JUST GIVE PROPS TO THE PEOPLE WITH THE IDEAS.
