I think everyone should really be pleased with the way Bey worked the 4 era. She gave us 7 videos (including I Was Here). She kicked off everything with stellar performances (Glastonbury, Billboard, Oprah) and ended on a high not at the MTV awards, where she revealed her pregnancy. How can anyone have unreasonable expectations of a tour afterwards.

You've mention Janet and Mariah and both women finished their last era's prematurely after only 2-4 single releases(with videos). You seem careful with the way you worded everything to emphasize how they would have stuck by albums they've written music on, but I see no reason why every release shouldn't be seen as important. It's work that represents them.

Having Missy, Miguel and Frank Ocean pen songs for you is not the same as using popular artists for duets or album features. Those people write songs for a lot of artists. Beyonce was always the main attraction used to sell her own work, it was never about whose on her album cuts. That's not even her kind of hype.

I actually think it's great to see Beyonce team up with other strong women. It's great for someone of her caliber to promote unity and make it less about competition. It's too much of that anyway! As far as complaining about her dropping albums every 2 years - I just don't get it. She's obviously not rushing. I can't believe people still think she's releasing too often at this rate.

As for Bey having to come up with a Man In the Mirror in 2012 ... 0_O Bey has plenty of meaningful songs in her catalog (I Am ... , 4), she's doesn't have to do these kind of songs all the time. I just want her to be an artist continuing to give us her best!
