I love Beyonce. But, I think it might be a little too soon for her to be putting out an album. The only reason that he career seems to be fading is because she's getting older and won't be able to do all of the raunchy, sexual themed songs that artists like Rihanna does. Rihanna appeals to a younger crowd, Beyonce appeals to a more mature crowd. NEITHER one of them are terrible. It just all depends on what and who you like. Beyonce will never fade, EVER. People are still going to love her. She's played everywhere you go! She's a role model to so many people to never quit and to do what you want, despite what others say. Personally, if she comes out with another album, I'll still buy it. And to be quite correct, EVERY artists album sales are gradually declining. There are barely any artists out there anymore that reaches REALLY high numbers. But, every artist is good in his or her own way. So, no need for the pointless b.s.
