when she talsk aboy DIL being clssic i think refering more to the traditions of albums being a cohesive, body of work but if she is simply talking about the quality of the music shes wrong. Dangerously in love is a good album but its easily her worst album.... yes its more coherent than B'day and I AM SF but outside of crazy in love the songs on the album are very complacent. Its a collection of pleasant RnB songs, nothing thats hadn't been seen throughout the 90s. To be honest all her albums have fallen short of being classic. B'day is more musicslly ambitious but lacked any substance. sasha fierce lacked coherance and is more a single colections with a few greats (SL, SWeet Dreams), whilst I am is deemed a classic only by people who've never heard a soft rock/pop/aletrnative album b4 but again has 1 or 2 classic songs in it. 4 is good like all her other albums it is definitely not a classic. If she were too take her live intrumentals and put them on her album she'd be a step closer to the greatness she desires so much.

Also she shouldn't be boasting about bringing those live vocals to the album because although some songs benefit from the added rawness and gusto (1+1), in other songs it just translates into shouting (start over). True vocal maturiy is achieved when you dont feel the need to belt on every song and put more focus on accents, tone and prononciation
