    i agree!

    • Lana Del Shade April 18, 2013

      How weird that Rihanna starts to go downhill the moment Beyonce comes back. Kiii.

      • rking/queen April 18, 2013

        Its weird how you talk s*** about rih when lana hasn’t ever been s***.Typical weak stan joining forces with the stans that are majority of this site because yours is lame and you dont want the hive coming after your fave.

      • truth(icki released 1,726 singles and 80 videos for reFLOP and still caint go platinum! Yea b****** i said it NNN WIT!! pops tongue) April 18, 2013

        @lana ikr…when Bey here Rhi disapates. Rhi said she only knew how to b #1 so Bey made sure she decapitated her first. Rhi shouldnt have talkd s*** about ‘how doe it feel down on ur knees’. Now she tryna get pregnent to use it as an excuse as to Bey sitn her down. Thats just the TRUTH honey.

      • Fan April 24, 2013

        Rihanna didnt go downhill!, RIhanna JUST became the FIRST female in billboard history to have 10 #1 PoP songs!!. I dont see beyonce on that list AT ALL!!!!
        Rihanna
        Katy Perry
        Taylor Swift is all on that list!

    • zania April 18, 2013

      What Icon copies someone who’s been in the game less time as she has. Everythng Beyonce is doing the past year and copying Rihanna. Some fans have a photo floating around on twitter with Beyonce red dress she wore at her concert and it is the exact dress Rihanna wore in 2011 but in year. What makes Beyonce an Icon, when she copies everything from other artist and steals.

    • ZANIA April 18, 2013

      Actually the person who should be on this list, but is always overlooked is Alicia Keys.
      Alicia Keys has 14 Grammys, her album Songs in a Minor sold more than Beyonce, it sold over 11 million worldwide. Alicia second album sold more than Beyonce second album it sold 8 million ww. Alicia Keys received a Huminatain award in 2009. Alicia works faithfully with helping other in poor countries. She is passion about her Charities, yes Beyonce donate to Charities to look good and she put out song, but how many times have you seen her over in Africa on her knees and trying to help those people li
      Keys is the ambassador for Keep A Child Alive, and has travelled to countries such as Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa. While she was there she spoke to teens and young adults who’ve lost their parents to A*** and are now the heads of their own households

      Keep a Child Alive > receive their second earning consecutive highest four-star rating from Charity Navigator
      Alicia Keys is a beautiful singer, writer, composer, actress, Humanitarian.

      Alicia Keys should be on the list above fake Beyonce.

      • Special Delivery April 18, 2013

        Beyonces Weave is still here writing them pressed essays I see.

      • Special Delivery April 18, 2013

        Pressed essays falling on deaf ears!

      • sheltop April 18, 2013

        I Agree with you. And im a fan of both artist

      • MuiMui April 18, 2013

        I see no lies.

      • Mwah April 18, 2013

        What the f*** has Alicia Keys done for pop culture besides sit on a piano and sing off key? Please, she is a good artist and her album Diary of Alicia Keys is amazing but that does not make you iconic.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        She is doing way more honest work than Beyonce. She is like MJ and others who donated their time to help others and really care about giving back. What instrument does Beyonce plays, you have to have talent to be able to sing and play piano, Like Stevie Wonder. Do you consider Stevie Wonder a legend, all he does is sit at a piano and sing. Alicia keys inspire new artist, by she a beautiful woman and don’t have shake her a** in lingerie over 30 and still give amazing performance.

      • Mwah April 18, 2013

        But once again HOW does that make you an icon? Honest work. I could do that, does that make me an icon? No. And why does Beyonce have to play an instrument now all of a sudden? Zania, remain pressed sweety you’ve done nothing but be up and down this blog all day, yes Beyonce has been shady we all know that already the industry is a shady ass place, but her impact on modern pop is undeniable whether you like it or not.

      • SENATOR HENRY April 23, 2013

        YES ZANIA!!

  2. Aquarius April 18, 2013

    I can feel this post is gonna get messy lol. Anyway congrats to my girl Bey!

  3. Kendall April 18, 2013

    She is a modern day pop icon. People already see her as almost a legend and shes still young. I believe, her, Rihanna, Britney and Gaga will all go down as pop icons in the future.

I may not be a Rihanna Fan but she is in fact the Queen right now! she has over 200+ awards. And she JUST made history by being the FIRST female to have 10 #1’s!! while beyonce struggling to get a song past the top 10 of billboard 100.

  7. ERIN (BOW DOWN B******) April 18, 2013

  13. ARTPOPPINIT April 18, 2013

    Where is Rihanna? Oh I forgot, still pretending to be sick.

  14. Micks April 18, 2013

    Beyoncé has been around for so long, people fail to realise, she has so much relevancy still like she came out 4 years ago, that’s hard to keep up. And she has had huge impact on pop in 00s especially with songs like crazy in love and choreography like single ladies. I actually think people underestimate her.

  15. Blue April 18, 2013

    Predictable they have michelle obama and kate in there tooo, please list their iconic moments…

    and they jay on the cover.

    #enufsaid

  22. Kate Middleton April 18, 2013

    Yes Kate Middleton is a style icon…she always has the best coats and dresses with those gorgeous legs…

    • I Will Adorn You April 18, 2013

      Ew Kate Middleton always looks like a frump and dresses too old and only accentuates her box figure by what she wears.

  23. Jewell April 18, 2013

    You had to actually vote for people you wanted to see on that list so…. Stay mad.

  24. Jewell April 18, 2013

  26. That rihanna reign April 18, 2013

    They got jealous of rihanna was voted as the most influential… these two are always jealous of rihanna especially this old woman.

    • Jewell April 18, 2013

      Rihanna was voted most influential off 4 music (a UK music channel lol) Of which Beyonce has already been voted the Greatest Popstar by them in the past. Look it up.

      • Yall. Wildin April 18, 2013

        Tell em!!!

  27. Kate Middleton April 18, 2013

    What exactly is she an icon off????

    • I Will Adorn You April 18, 2013

      Pop music fool

  28. Sass April 18, 2013

    She back! *Pops locks and drops*

  29. RITANATION April 18, 2013

    *NO SHADE* but beyonce is only still relevant because of jay-z, yeah beyonce was popping before she met jay-z but she didnt blow up u til the women she is now until jay-z came along. Why you think she is on this list??? Huh??? Cause of jay-z it was not cause of a few votes from beyhives or some random ass nerd that knows Obama, beyonce would be nothing if it was not for jay-z. Her 15mins would have been up she would have been living off the little money she had left over from her DC days. She would have been living off food stamps to feed her self with. It’s the truth nothing but the truth!

    #ItsRitaOraTime

    • MiaBleu April 18, 2013

      “nothing but the truth”? This post is a lie. Beyonce would be relevant no matter who she was with. Her talent & accomplishments precede her relationship with Jay-Z.
      Unlike that flop Rita Ora, who’s peak in relevancy was dating a Kardashian.

      • MuiMui April 18, 2013

        This is great for beyonce and it give the others something to look forward to, i mean after all i love how hard beyonce work and it’s not her fault others don’t strive as hard as beyonce do to achieve the top in almost everything. Still they need to follow beyonce’s lead and no they do not need to bow down just do it their way and they to will get to big things in there quest for greatness.

  30. RITANATION April 18, 2013

    TGJ you really trying to protect beyonce? You delete my comment cause you know it’s the truth.

  31. RITANATION April 18, 2013

    • Sass April 18, 2013

      B**** please, the delusion. You could say that for ANYONE with a good manager. And you are a Rita fan, who is in charge of her career again?

    • Check This April 18, 2013

      Rihanna did not blow up until after Umbrella. Who was featured in that video again? Oh that’s right.

      You shaded your own queen.

      • RITANATION April 18, 2013

        I’m not a Rihanna Stan asshole!!!!!!!!! Read my user name ugh…

    • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) April 18, 2013

      Same with Rihanna..Umbrella featuring who? Exactly.

  32. Tasha32 April 18, 2013

    YEEEESSS! In Bey’s words “ANY QUESTIONS” AND her tour is SLAYING! 🙂

      nerva?

  33. zania April 18, 2013

    Please navy don’t entertain this, we all know she bought that title with that magazine and what really matters is what the massive thinks. No one even her fans thinks she is a an icon, she hasn’t did anything creative and reinvented anything new to be call an icon. I bet if they did a mainstream poll from the people and ask if they consider her an icon, I bet it would be below 30%. Madonna is an icon, so do you really think Beyonce is on her level.

    • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

      we all know the truth.

    • rking/queen April 18, 2013

      alright b****………

  34. POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

    PAYOLA.

    and to confirm it , her camel is on the cover !!

    B**** is desperate for publc demand and she’s flooding all the media outlets with her face to get ppl’s interest.

    I don’t think she’s an icon , what’s iconic about her ? her entire career is copy/paste from other folks , she’s not icon to anyone but her stans.

    • *Katy perry* teenage dream April 18, 2013

      Beyonce always desperate for some media ATTENION. She want people to be interested in her, cause she dont want her album to flop again. The only reason somebody will be her that tittle is because of who she married to. Not because of her music, movies, commercial, cause they all pretty much *tasteless* *garbage* *lackluster at best*

    • rking/queen April 18, 2013

      YASS PASTOR!!

  35. Special Delivery April 18, 2013

    Anyone notice that whenever Beyonce comes back, Rihanna starts to fade into obscurity lol. Anyway, congrats to everyone on that list, especially Beyonce. and Justin Timberlake ;).

    • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

      JAY-Z run these B****** , your next question ?

    • Navy Sailor!!! April 18, 2013

      Ummm they both released albums in 2006 and 2011 though. And let’s not forget how Rihanna reigned from 07-2010…. #tryagainboo

      • Lolz April 18, 2013

        She reigns when Beyonce is on a break.

    • mywaterbroke April 18, 2013

      @lolz nope she’s owning it all the time 247 get use to…..

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        What like now? LOL.

  36. zania April 18, 2013

    How about Sam put up about Obama Dissing Jay z and Beyonce, about their trip to Cuba, he said I have better things to do than to worry about where they are vacationing at.

    • Special Delivery April 18, 2013

      That wasn’t a diss. Its the truth. It was a diss to the republicans worrying about them.

    • Navy Sailor!!! April 18, 2013

      People really think Obama cares about Bey and Jay. If Rihanna donated millions and millions and millions to their campaign, she’d be in the Obamas circle too 😆

      • Fan April 24, 2013

        Thank YOU! lmao Beyhive KNOW beyonce is struggling to make a comeback!. The woman hasnt had a hit since 2008!. and its 2013!!!

    • rihking/queen April 18, 2013

      because Samantha is trying to look as if everyone like beyuckce when really its just her delusional and deluded stans.

  37. Special Delivery April 18, 2013

    The best people have is she paid for it lol? Stay mad and pressed until you have real proof. I remember when you actually had to submit votes for this, I did.

    • zania April 18, 2013

      I don’t care what the industry people say, we all know that Jay z is one of the biggest music influencials in the industry and everyone kiss up to them. What matter is what the people think, the massive. They are the one’s who are buying your music and product. You would never hear people debate and question is Tina Turner, Whitney, Madonna, Michael Jackson if they are Icons. What makes her stand out like those guys I just mention. What has she created that is her own style and signature. Please don’t say because she can perform real good. Lady Gaga and J lo is great Female performers.

      • Special Delivery April 18, 2013

        You don’t care yet you are responding with essays? Hmmm.

      • MuiMui April 18, 2013

        This sound right but you know what it kind of seem like
        beyonce and jay are all about staying in the media at any cost, they do not care about whos doing what and it’s still unclear to many how beyonce has all the grammys and others have all the sales i am sure this will be news for some time to come though. Beyonce fans seem determined to try and keep her on top at any cost and the world watches and see how things will unfold with beyonce and her many awards going forward i am sure. And for the sake of me why do they trash rihanna so when rihanna and them are on the same team.

    • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

      I ain’t mad , Real Recognize Real , and this b**** is FAKE as hell.
      if this b**** is an Icon , then what’s “Adele” ? a LEGEND.

      b**** better save her money to pay for the Oscar , but i don’t even see it for her.

      • Special Delivery April 18, 2013

        Just like everyone recognises Rihanna is a fake, weak, produce besides you guys.

      • MuiMui April 18, 2013

        But special delivery . it don’t really matter when rihanna
        is still on the same team as beyonce is and don’t that count for something? and often time the head of the company you are with always make the big moments before you do, yet
        it seem rihanna is still on the lips of so many, why , Rihanna have got time to be great and go a different route then beyonce has gone and i am sure that beyonce and jay is helping rihanna to keep her from being a fake as you say. And even at that rihanna can be a fake all she want to because beyonce does enough good to support her and rihanna cause. beyonce seems to get it right a lot and that is what rihanna need to try and do and following beyonce’s lead will help rihanna to make it through to becoming a legend in time.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . April 18, 2013

        Adele won an Oscar for a song, while Beyonce has an entire movie career, and her Box Office gross is nearing 1B, (3X the total budget BTW, not like Battleship), and she was named the the highest-paid Black actress in 2006.

        That’s COMMERCIAL success.

        And as you and me know,

        COMMERCIAL SUCCESS >>> Awards.

  38. rking/queen April 18, 2013

    Icon my ass!That thieving t***** hasn’t made in impact in music.The only impact she made was in the f** and t***** community.DAS SET!

    • Oh April 18, 2013

      Lies.

  39. *Katy perry* teenage dream April 18, 2013

    I don’t think she should be on this list nope not at all. She started off s***, talented, beautiful, fit, when she was with destiny’s child. Now she is just being a big shot thinking that every other girl needs to bow down cause her husband is jay-z or some s***. HO PLEASE! HAVE A SEAT! She got fat since she had that ugly baby by jay, she just dont look the same anymore it’s like she suffering from something. I’m just saying.. She don’t need to be on this list she is to disrespectful to her peers

  40. Kyle April 18, 2013

    Of course she deserves. 16 years in the game still going strong. One of, if not THE best performer of her generation and its not only her fans that say that. Has had impact with her songs AND videos. What more can you want? Only haters (fans of other b******) refuse to acknowledge her achievements over the past decade. Well done to her.

    • MuiMui April 18, 2013

      Beyonce has done good and the others can do the same if they work long and hare enough without getting torn down for their efforts all the time.

  41. ROB April 18, 2013

    Christina Aguilera!

  42. Yolo April 18, 2013

    Beyonce is one of them people who will just keep bouncing back no matter how much people try to tear her down. Shes dealt with hate and accusations from Day 1, she is used to it. Like she said she loves her haters. People thinking they know what goes on, when really they dont know S***. Navy go worry about your fav and her flop tour please. She is not on this list. But I betcha if she was it would be a different story. You will deal.

    • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

      HATE ?

      Rihanna ? Flop ?!

      yes , stay pressed.

      i will give you something that you will LIVE to LEARN how to DEAL with :

      Whether you like it or not , RIHANNA is the biggest Pop Star NOW.
      your b**** is soon to be expired, but good she’s catchin’ up.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        Biggest popstar yet she can just about outsell Bey albums wise with 7 and cant even outsell her 7 albums to 4 in the single biggest market in the world? I beg to differ.

      • MuiMui April 18, 2013

        Rihanna has done well in her time in the industry and i look forward to her doing even bigger things in the days and years to come. Rihanna love being in the game and doing her thing and it is clear there is a lot of back and forward with rihanna and it has to be because she just has to be doing something right and it is keeping many afraid of where rihanna will go as far as the titles are concerned. Rihanna has got a long ways to go before she have the years many of the others has ahead of her but she seem willing to hang in there and work None of us know how far any of the otheres will go before its all over.So happy that jay gave rihanna the chance to become great.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . April 18, 2013

        Nothing about her career shows no signs of “expiration” at all, it’s just you praying for her.

        But keep praying, theaux. #neaux1curr

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        Good for you. But don’t discredit Beyonce in the process.

  43. Yep! April 18, 2013

    F*** a Uk most influential list.
    The times is a more credible source anyway
    All those hits and riri is nowhere to be found.
    I mean even Christina made the list!!
    No one thinks of Rihanna as an Icon or artist besides her delusional navy.A big lol @ Kate Middleton being on this list though…Had she not married who she did..we wouldn’t know she existed.
    Beyonce wouldn’t be famous without jay-z, says a hating Stan? Then was she more famous than him in 2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,…it’s 2013 and she’s still more famous.
    If Beyonce paid to be on this list…then so did the lessors..Miguel,Franchine Ocean,Big Mctina, etv

    • Jewell April 18, 2013

      Beyonce topped that UK list (worlds greatest popstar) years ago anyway.

    I’m very shocked rihanna isn’t on the list considering the MASSIVE impact on music she has made.people hate to admit ever since 05 rihanna has been bringing something new to the table EACH AND EVERY year something different.Cant say the same for beyonce.She’s been doing the same s*** year after year now.smh…I didn’t know to get on the list you had to be a boring cow with a copy and paste career.

    • rking/queen April 18, 2013

      Oh and lets not forget to mention the fact she’s been the ruler of the charts since 07.How many years has beywhalece been in the industry and how many number ones does she have to rihanna?……..didn’t think so

    Bey is an icon already and young legend in her generation after 16yrs she still has her heels on some new h*** neck. I respect her and A keys talent from 90s and early 2000s stll slaying b******

  46. MDNA April 18, 2013

    Beyonce whole tour songs from 2003-2004 all these old ass songs she LOVES to perform. I can’t believe idiots like beyhives pay money to see her on tour, perform the same old songs from 2004. When you can just go pick up one of her old DVD from 2004 and watch it at home, cause its pretty much still the same tour anyway. Same dance moves, same stupid look on her face, busted up ass weave, and ya wanna call her a icon with recycled has music on tour for her brain washed beyhives SMFH

  48. Kent April 18, 2013

    Rihanna fans pls i like her but u dont have to start shading bey cos riri is not on the list the impact bey has with four solo studio album is greater than rih and all she got is chart position. Those on that list have talent in common esp the artist.

  49. KingBeyBitches April 18, 2013

    So because she is on the list that means she paid for it? Well I guess Rihanna paid for hers to Navy please stop it yall look so bitter and pressed…

  50. Yeah I Said It April 18, 2013

    Yes Bey. Don’t nobody call Rihanna a Queen besides her delusional Navy. They can stay mad. The industry knows whats real.

    • rking/queen April 18, 2013

      and no one calls beywhalece queen but her dumb f** hivs.

      • Yeah I Said It April 18, 2013

        Yes they do you don’t WANT me to list the host of celebs from Piers Morgan to Oprah to Anderson Cooper who have called her that.

      • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

        yes , please , tell me about mrs ” Beyonce is where God meets art” !!!

        B**** forgot the “F” before “Art” and the missing “O” in “God”.

      • Yeah I Said It April 18, 2013

        You mean ‘beloved mistress of the Universe’ lol (I don’t know what that is) -Oprah. But it still proves my point Beyonce has big name industry STANS so her fans cannot be that delusional.

  51. rking/queen April 18, 2013

    The hivs are so dumb its annoying beyfraudce paid for it END.

      • rking/queen April 18, 2013

        yet there STILL talked about on a beyonce post…..

  54. Little Monster April 18, 2013

    Congrats to Bey. People already see her as young legend. Gaga will be on this list in few years. Rihanna? Only impact shes had is her red hair. Hits does not equal icon/impact.

  55. zania April 18, 2013

    I have never respected Beyonce and never will, because she bought everything concerning her career. She used her husband influence for all deals she has. Her father paid for everything when he was her manager. There is nothing about Beyonce that is real, not even her fake hair and body. Everything she does is always fake, from her music to how she wants to be perceived from others, such as her magazine covers all fake. I remember her husband used her connection to get her to work with the United Nation, by putting out that song, like she really helps the needy. I respect Alicia Keys and Angelina Jolie, they have worked for years helping others. When have you seen Beyonce in Africa for world peace and other countries other than vacationing. Just like she probably hoping that she will be nominated for an Oscar, like Adele for her song on The great Gabsy. She is doing the most with her influence and money to buy Icon status, not to earn it and work for it.

    • Jewell April 18, 2013

      She has actually gone to Africa to help b**** look it up.

      • zania April 18, 2013

        Beyonce jumps on the current cause. If there is a disaster she jumps on it with other celebrities to endorse. When have she went to africa on her own without it benefit her in the news. When have she ever talked about helping others and being passion about world peace, without some current tragic and she endorse it for her own benefits. She went to Cuba for educational, so does she have some kind of foundation she is going to start to help people from those country. Probably not she was seen taking pictures like a tourist and she did it for PR.

      • Jewell April 18, 2013

        You could say that about anyone then. Shes done a lot of stuff people do not know about because she does not expect press attention.

    • MDNA April 18, 2013

      Co-sign! Beyonce is a fraud 100% fraud! She makes sure jay-z is standing right by her when a big deal is about to go down. She wants jay there for “status” reasons. Beyonce is a little sneaky b****, w****, s***, tramp, ho, s****, she has no right to have 16 Grammys, she is just a gold digging fame w****! Who married jay-z for “status* *big deals” f****** fraud ass ghetto b****

  56. Little Monster April 18, 2013

    The Navy are real pressed and distressed on this post. Lol I understand, since their fav is getting dragged through hedges and back right now haha. While Rihanna goes downhill, Beyonce rises. Once Beyonce and Gaga get back on the scene properly with music, all Rihanna will be good for is sucking Fist Browns d***.

  57. Little Monster April 18, 2013

    So if Beyonce paid for this then I guess we could say DefScam and Roc Nation (Rihanna)
    Paid for her hits
    Paid for her Youtube Views
    Paid for her latest #1 album they were so desperate
    Paid for Magazine Covers aswell.

    • Little Monster April 18, 2013

      Aint no one voted Beyonce an Icon from the mainstream fans. If there was a poll they fixed the numbers. If you look at so much hate she gets. She gets more hate than CB now.

    Beyonce is always doing well for herself. I don’t know why people are surprised. They spew around rumors and negativity because they cant think of anything else. You know what they say about people with the most haters being on top. I guess it is true in her case. Everyone gets accused of overexposure at the height of their career. Its no different for her. She can sell out tours with no new music which tells me there are millions of people that still love her. So like I have read many times STAY MAD.

  69. Mark111 April 18, 2013

    She is tho. Come on, if anyone pop up with blond hair, booty popping, you’re gonna think Bey. May not be original, but an icon for sure. Other icons? Janet, Madonna, Britney, Aaliyah, MC, WHitney. Rihanna and maybe Gaga (still not sure) are on their way.

        etc….

        But KIIII at everytime she say it , someone ‘pop up’ and put her together.
        last were GAGA and adele 😆 😆 , not to mention “RIHANNA” , god’s lesson to her 😆 😆 #dead

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        I repeat. When did she say she was an ICON.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . April 18, 2013

        ^^ It’s not about “current” achievements as much as it’s about OVERALL achievements, @ pop.

        Plus, as you know, Beyonce finds a way to SLAY any b**** of this generation (minus GaGa).

        If she doesn’t slay them on singles, she slays them on albums. If she slays them on albums, she slays them on tours. If she doesn’t slay them on tours, she slays them on Forbes list (WHICH is the most important among all).

        That’s what satisfies her, that’s what means success and power to her.

        MONEY.

        The materialistic winning.

        The same way, the only female Beyonce doesn’t SLAY is probably Madonna, who Beyonce hasn’t surpassed on Forbes so far when she’s 31.y.o.!

        So just deal with it hun.

        Ain’t nobody f****** with her at all, she’s like one of the smartest industry b****** ever.

  82. Liddysweet April 18, 2013

    My problem with a list like this is credibility. Many of the people are there in my opinion justifiably. People lime Frank Ocean has been out long enough nor has he done anything that merits that kind of honour. This man’s freshman album with maybe one or two tracks that maybe memorable and he is given this kind of recognition. Please! The man is getting the attention because he came out and professed his sexuality. Because he said that he’s a gay man everybody took their hats off, and he receives a standing ovation everywhere he goes. Maybe if his father had thought of that he’d still have a music career.Making him apart of a prestigious list like this does everyone on the list a disservice.Billy Ocean back in the 80s was a hot talent and didn’t get nearly what his son got. Let Frank Ocean grow up into his craft allow him to really prove his self. Who knows there just might be a credible artist in there somewhere. Let him prove that he’s more than someone brave enough to declare what gender he ascribed to be.

    This whole Beyonce vs Rihanna thing so BORING. At the end of it, 20 years from now the young’uns will be looking up to all of them for different reasons. Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gaga, Britney and so on. We all knock them for their flaws now, but as the decades past aint nobody gonna give a s*** about all that.

  84. Bey Fan April 18, 2013

    So she paid to have her name on the list… get the hell outta her. There are 7 other people on that list. But she’s the only one who paid….the f*** outta here.

    Yall been sayin the same s*** for over 10 yrs…. yall can stop now, or at least come up with somethin new.

  85. fatusankoh April 18, 2013

    congrant bey their i no one like you you hatemongers have a live go to your no talente riri you all supporting riri because the hate you all have for bey not to do well thank god you hatters are not god bey is here to stay long luve queen bey you are love by god good people and we your fans for life

  86. Liddysweet April 18, 2013

    My problem with a list like this is credibility. Many of the people are there in my opinion justifiably. People like Frank Ocean has been out long enough nor has he done anything that merits that kind of honour. This man’s freshman album with maybe one or two tracks that maybe memorable and he is given this kind of recognition. Please! The man is getting the attention because he came out and professed his sexuality. Because he said that he’s a gay man everybody took their hats off, and he receives a standing ovation everywhere he goes. Maybe if his father had thought of that he’d still have a music career.Making him apart of a prestigious list like this does everyone on the list a disservice.Billy Ocean back in the 80s was a hot talent and didn’t get nearly what his son got. Let Frank Ocean grow up into his craft allow him to really prove his self. Who knows there just might be a credible artist in there somewhere. Let him prove that he’s more than someone brave enough to declare what gender he ascribed to be. The question is still out on Frank Ocean. we know that he is a gay man, but does he have the staying power to one day earn the title Icon. Let judge them by there talent and nothing else.

    • Bey Fan April 18, 2013

      I feel what you saying, but Frank was on the list for influential ARTIST….. not the Icon list

  87. mc the place to be! April 18, 2013

    how ironic that both beyonce and jayz made the list and to have them in the same category as kate middleton and michelle obama is just a disgrace. they definitely bought that title

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      Nope they just have that power and influence that people recognise. Did you not see Justin Timberlake on that list? I guess he bought it too huh?

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        Power and influence doesn’t make you an Icon, actually that list are basically everyone who is popular and its a joke and probably everyone that Jayz use his influence to have to put on that list. Think about it, Justin, Miguel all doing collaboration with Beyonce. Frank wrote some songs for her. That is why I call it a joke.

      • POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY) April 18, 2013

        HAVE THAT POWER ?

        b**** don’t make me s*** my pants laughing

        when was the last time JAY Z had a hit on his own without any help from another Mega Superstar ? that n**** stay leaching….

        and don’t make me go on beyonce , b**** struggles to compete with Rihanna and adele.

        and JT bought it too , what is iconic about Him ? he’s the reductive white version of MJ. 😆
        guess it became so easy to say anyone is an icon 🙄

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        Well I see (like many others) see Beyonce as iconic for modern pop music she has iconic choreograohy and songs that pretty much represent the noughties. She has a style of singing that people recognise and people see her as one of the greatest performers. Young artists already site her as inspiration you cant deny. And to deny Jay Z as influential (hits on the charts is not what makes you influential) is just stupid and biased.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        This is not just about sales and #1 singles, you need to look at the bigger picture.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . April 18, 2013

        So power means digital tracks and Hot100 to you?

        K, whatever.

      • Jewell April 18, 2013

        Yall arguing with times magazine now just cos your pressed Rihanna aint on the list. Had she been on the list you would not complain. Beyonce has done iconic things throughout her time as a pop star stop being so partial because you dislike HER and the way she goes about things.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        @Jewell okay!

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        No Unique talent and the ability to stand out and leave a mark in music, is what I call Icon. Beyonce has no memorable songs that impact world. Please don’t say Single Ladies- its a joke. So she can dance, and sing, Jlo, Ciara can out dance her and all them voices are average to me, because Beyonce just screams when she sing.
        MADONNA
        She is the Genius of Music. Notably The Most Successful Female Singer Of All Time by the Guinness Book of world Records. She has sold almost 300 Million Singles and albums and continues to draw attention through her music, wit, fashion, and charity.

        Janet Jackson
        Ms. Jackson is the most influential pop artist when it comes to dance. her videos astounds.

        Whitney Houston
        The Voice. probably the most influential RnB singer of all time, with her signature hand gestures and belting powerful voice.

        Mariah Carey
        The Diva with the tremendous vocals, probably no opera singer can match Mariah’s feat for she holds the record for the most number 1 singles in the US Charts for a solo artist, with her last effort “We Belong Togther” as the song of the decade in the US Billboard, remembering that she was also the 90’s decade pick for the Top Artist.

        Celine Dion Claimed to be the Biggest Selling Female Music Artist of all time according to World Music Awards with 200 million mark, Celine will still be well remembered by her powerful vocals for My Heart Will Go On, and her platinum albums.

        Aretha Franklin, I can go and on and I didn’t even list the men. How do Beyonce fall in the catagory with these wonderful women.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        @Zania. You wrote that whole list and majority of it is based on YOUR biased opinion. All that is fine what you put about them legends, and true but what about in TODAYS music industry. Beyoncé is still considered the BEST performer of this generation, has had impact with her songs and videos throught the generation, set dance trends, is vocally recognised and respected ALREDAY. That’s how she falls in. So once again, miss me with that b*******. In the words of Time:

        When all the work is done, she ( Beyonce) can step onto a stage and draw every single person in the audience into an intimate experience. No one has that voice, no one moves the way she moves, no one can hold an audience the way she does. And she keeps growing and evolving in the ways that she expresses herself as a singer, as a performer and now as a mother

        So go argue with them, its already been done.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        No one moves like Beyonce, How about J lo, Ciara and dozen of other artist if you give them the same stage and power in the industry, would blow Beyonce away in performance. Beyonce screams when she sings- she doesn’t have a voice like Whitney- Celine, and Marah. Beyonce has status and she can get people to put her up on that stage even if she doesn’t belong. What make Beyonce dancing so special when there are urban young women who would blow her away on some of the dances she does. How is shaking your a** considered excellent dancing.

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      Beyonce has a package. Its not about competing with legends or being as good or better, its about what SHE has achieved. You can have more than one icon for different reasons. Chill tf out.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        Alicia Keys have a better package to me. Everything she accomplished is guwine, no one debates her writing abilities her own songs and everything she does. She doesn’t have to fake her way to the top and manipulate the public. Alicia Keys charities are real and from the heart.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        Alicia Keys hasn’t had half as much impact on pop as Beyonce. This is not just about sales that make you an icon. And how do you know where Beyonces mindset is? Just GIVE UP already!

  89. CatchTheShade April 18, 2013

    I see the Navy is still pressed that everybody got in their faves ass about how lazy and untalented she is on yesterdays post LMAO the thumbs down don’t do anything but make y’all look sad. Beyonce doesn’t have to buy titles because she earns them. Anytime she says the word b**** in a song and it becomes a talking topic of the world from CNN to every blog on the internet you know you’re a boss . It wouldn’t have been a big topic if Rihanna or anybody else did it because they don’t have her image. I could personally do with a little bit more growth from her in her music which I hope she delivers with the next album but at the end of the day she is light years above your concert canceling pot head,drunk of a fave that couldn’t put on a show even if the spirit of MJ got into her body. Thumbs down that PRESSEDNAVY

    • ZANIA April 18, 2013

      The reason why they were reported what she said if because Beyonce been on a Drama train since 2013. Her team put her up on this peddle stool and everyone is questioning how she isn’t that great. Beyonce and her husband contributed to Obama campaign, now they are trying to latch their name to our president legacy and now Obama is finally getting tire of their mess. Most people think Beyonce is overrated, try reading the comments on the mainstream blogs. Only urban community talk like she some top notch queen, but in reality if you give Jlo, Ciara, the same team and music influence and platform they would be bigger than beyonce, because I think they are better dancers and performers if given the same platform.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        You need to learn how the industry goes. Almost ALL the greats have faced backlash and questioning throughout their career from Madonna to MJ. Has it stopped them? No.

      • CatchTheShade April 18, 2013

        ……I’m not going to get into this from a political stand point because simply put I don’t think you’re smart enough for that just based off of your previous comments you have no idea what you’re talking about from that aspect. What I will say is this. Nobody forced the Obamas to have a relationship with the carters. They weren’t forced to go to their concerts or the fundraisers or inviting them to do inaugurations for them TWICE that was by choice. IF they REALLY didn’t want to have any sort of linkage to them they wouldn’t have. If you actually watched the reports on her nobody is “questioning” her relevancy or talent they’re on them BECAUSE of their relation to the president and their feelings towards him ex: Cuba trip and trying to impeach him. But Like I said that’s to complex for you to get. As far as when it comes to blog comments and opinion people are bias. The wolrd outside of the blogging world has no problem with Beyonce and actually has a lot of respect and love for her .As for Jlo and Ciara. Yes they can perform but they’re not the entire package. Neither can sing and as a singer that’s what I expect to hear when I go to a concert. I don’t give a s*** if you can move on stage if you can’t even get out a clear note in the mist of all of it. I see you comment all the time I know your great dislike for beyonce and I see how blatantly BIAS you’re towards her so instead of a chair have a comforter and shut up because you and half of the navy don’t have a f****** clue as to what you’re really speaking on. Have a beautiful day.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        And you call Beyonce a great singer, when all she does is yell and scream. You call that singing. Kelly Rowland voice is prettier than hers. Like I said The Obamas are sick of Jayz and Beyonce, they deliberately went to Cuba to cause Controversy, that is all Beyonce been doing since her pregnancy to stay relevant. If she is so Iconic, why she can’t just put out music without of the drama and controversy. Why can’t she do a Justin Timberlake.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        Jlo is all around package, I like her acting better than Beyonce acting. Jlo is average singer- excellent dancer, and she can act- Loved her in Maid in Mahattan. Please tell me what Beyonce is excelllent in. Not singing because I wouldn’t put her on Whitney, Mariah, Aretha level. The new girl Seven can sing and dance, to me she has better moves than Beyonce.

      • CatchtheSHADE April 18, 2013

        They’re so tired of her yet they quoted lyrics from her upgrade you song in Michelle March vogue interview? B**** just shut up. You don’t know the obama’s from a pot of p*** to be talking about what they feel or think about the carters. Watch them show up to her show and DC. They obviously have no problem with them and screaming and yelling? it’s called hitting notes not whispering on a track like the wack ass “singers” you mentioned. I could go on and on about the vocal DIVAS and legends that have praised her voice as well as coaches. You’re a Rihanna stan so you don’t even get to have an input when ti comes to vocals when you stan for such a subpar b****. Like I said get a recliner sit back and shut up.

      • CatchtheSHADE April 18, 2013

        and Jlo can’t f****** sing. Spare me the BS. She is a good actor I’ll give her that and she can put on a show but she is not the total package and is not a better performer than Beyonce. I have been to concerts by BOTH not just watching it on Youtube and Jlo lip sync more than HALF of the damn concert. Beyonce excels in many fields. YES she is a amazing singer. Not many people will ever reach Whitney, Mariah and Aretha’s level but beyonce DOES have a beautiful voice and AMAZING vocal control and she does not miss a note while dancing. She is also an amazing business woman and a knock out performer. I like Sevyn but LIVE she is not the business she needs way more training before you can even compare her to beyonce.

  90. Lmao April 18, 2013

    “When all the work is done, she ( Beyonce) can step onto a stage and draw every single person in the audience into an intimate experience. No one has that voice, no one moves the way she moves, no one can hold an audience the way she does.

  92. King B>Rihanna April 18, 2013

    SO I GUESS BEING ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED ARTIST OF HER GENERATION, CONSIDERED THE BEST PERFORMER OF HER GENERATION, CRAFTING INNOVATIVE MUSIC LIKE CIL, CREATING ONE OF THE BIGGEST DANCE CRAZES OF THE LAST DECADE,BEING ONE OF THE BEST VOCALIST OF HER GENERATION OF HER GENERATION, HAVING ON OF THE BEST R&B ALBUM IN THE LAST DECADE, BEING A PART OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST SELLING GROUP OF ALL TIME, BEING OF THE BEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME DOES NOT AFFORD YOU TO BE CONSIDER AN ICON.

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      Preach! They fail to recognise it because they don’t like her as a person (because of course they know the ins and outs of what goes on behind closed doors).

    • CatchTheShade April 18, 2013

      You’re preaching to the wrong crowd. Remember these idiots are impressed by #’s not talent,drive or ambition the things that make a Icon. As long as it gives half ass notes on stage and pats it’s p**** and delivers made to fly on the charts singles they’re pleased.

        If the masses disagreed she would not be on there on the first place. And you are still here? Scrolling up you been her forever. Boo calm down and do something with your day its not that serious. People see her as a budding icon so deal.

  103. NΛVI April 18, 2013

    LOL I see the HOODHIVE up in here mention the Empres Riri’ names saying how she is not an icon. I do agree, she’s not because she’s only been doing this for how long 6-7 years now. That’s not even being close enough for an icon. But the simple fact that you guys brought up her name, knows she’s well on her ;). She already created a body of work that can arguably put her in that position and proves she has the longevity . She’s still young and have all the time to perfect her craft. She’s been quite innovative with her music, fashion and social impact on pop culture and the fashion industry and not forgetting her charity work. It’s a shame I can’t say the same for Beyonce since she’s a copy and paste version of Tina Turner who is the actual icon and Madonna who was both innovative and an Original! Catch the shade *sips tea*

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

    I think she is a BUDDING icon, people wont recognise it until she is properly out of the spotlight years from now. She has done iconic thing like set dance trends, lyric trends and singing style. You hear people all the time say ‘it was very Beyonce’ or ‘you sound like Beyonce’. She will definitely be seen as a legend in the future though. Which is better I do not know, nor care.

        I AM A CB FAN, SAY HE DOESN’T HAVE THE WHOLE PACKAGE OR HE DOESN’T KILL HIS PERFORMANCES. MAYBE GO CHECK OUT HIS NEW VIMEO-HE PUT OUT TRIPLE THREAT.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        Ugh Chris Brown cant sing live to save his life. Hes a great dancer though.

      • CatchtheSHADE April 18, 2013

        You’re in fact a Rihanna stan so you can cut the b******* and Chris isn’t the whole package. I can name plenty of R&B male singers and writers that crush him however he is a very good dancer and has a lot of energy. Being a visually good performer doesn’t make you well rounded.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        Tell that to MJ, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson family and go look at his vimeo Triple threat of all the people speaking highly of him in the industry. Their is no mail artist that does all that CB does, his performances is mind blowing on the stage, that is why award shows always ask him and never see, Frank Ocean, Trey Songz, Miguel at all shows. Only other male artist get to perform at all shows are Usher. CB sings, dance, write, direct,act, artist-he can even be a Basketball player, so you name any of those artist who has all that talent.

      • ZANIA April 18, 2013

        MJ words at GMA

        He sees his influence in some of today’s artists, specifically mentioning Chris Brown.

        MJ words
        Michael Jackson has praised Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown for their contributions to pop music.

        The legendary entertainer has been credited by legions of today’s most notable artists for paving the way for their own success.

        Brown tells U.S. news show Good Morning America: “Me being able to listen to him, and be inspired by his dance and by his music, drives me to be more creative.”

        But Jackson insists he has been equally inspired by their influence.

        He adds: “Some of the younger newer artists – I think Chris Brown is doing wonderful and (Justin) Timberlake. I really admire what they are doing.”

      • Mwah April 18, 2013

        Well @Zania (I havnt read the whole debate) You talk about Beyonce not being a great performer, tell that to Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Bono, Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand and Mariah Carey etc etc, not to mention your FAVE who has also praised her.

      • CatchtheSHADE April 18, 2013

        … I never said he WASN’T talented I said he wasn’t an all around entertainer to me. VOCALLY he isn’t all that. He can however dance very well. Learn to comprehend and you just named someone who I think is better than CB.. Usher. CB will never have a confessions and we all know how cool usher was with MJ. MJ was a nice dude. He always tried to give props to everybody him saying that doesn’t mean that CB is the best thing since sliced bread and butter. I don’t recall him being one of MJ favorite artist something BEYONCE was but you try and discredit her. LMAO

      • zania April 18, 2013

        It is on youtube-GMA they ask MJ who he out of all the younger artist of this time he said Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake. Cb was actually going to do a song with Mike before the scandal. Who did the Jackson want to do the MJ tribute but because of the incident CB was block, not Usher, they wanted CB.

  115. Oh April 18, 2013

    Congrats!

  116. Kate Middleton April 18, 2013

    Im sorry tgj, im just being jealous of her success that is why im hating on queen b. We all know she’s an icon and a legend. She deserves all these because of her hard work. Good job b.

  117. HOWYOULIKEIT April 18, 2013

    Beyonce is more than an icon.
    And Brandy is missing on the list too.

  118. DIGGER BEY April 18, 2013

    I guess since Legends like Babyface and Stevie Wonder has already called KING B an ICON! That tells me that Hoeianna Stans Deserves an BIG FAT SIT THE F*CK DOWN! UR COMMENTS ARE INVALID BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  119. Special Delivery April 18, 2013

    Lmao the Titanics are thumbing the F*** down like its making a difference while the Hive stay checking these b******. Mad pressed. Theyre still seething their fave dont give a f*** about them since she puts more effort into partying than putting on shows for them. The rose tinted glasses have been removed.

  120. S****** Blonde April 18, 2013

    Miguelina an Icon, LOL…The list is a joke.

    These btiches are WHACK. The audacity of a Rihanna stan to talk about vocals and stage performance when there fave can do NEITHER better than beyonce is just appalling. Out of all the stan bases they should be the quietest and only brag about the billboards chart because in every other category their fave gets dragged to hell and back.

  122. Yaz April 18, 2013

    Beyonce has consistantly been on Times list for being influential. Of course they were gonna uprade her. Good for justin also. Them two are favorite late nineties/noughties stars.

  123. S****** Blonde April 18, 2013

    To all of you wondering, she’s one of the Icons, she hasn’t been named the 2013 Icon as Sam want us to believe. Actually, no one has been named the most influential, they make a list of what they believe are the mots influential people of 2013.

    • Special Delivery April 18, 2013

      I think people know this already, Sam never said that anyway. The argument is whether she actually is an icon or not.

  124. Rellz April 18, 2013

    She is. Not a legend yet, but definitely an icon. Icon status doesn’t have to be limited just because people have overwhelming respect for LEGENDS.

  125. TruthSpeaker April 18, 2013

    I would be an icon too if I convinced the world I mothered a child with a fake baby-bump wrapped around my hips for 9mo…. beyonka stans fall back, i don’t respond or even recognize you low life seedy ass queens. I merely like playing you like the toys you are. fkn puppets, DANCE I SAID!

    • ZANIA April 18, 2013

      LOL

  126. King B>Rihanna April 18, 2013

    pay dumb blonde dust unless the artist is white.. he will find anything to pull of out of it’s weak p****.

  127. JOHNVIDAL April 18, 2013

    The list doesn´t make any type of sense lol
    There are huge and talented people there, but still, it doesn´t make sense. Xtina Aguilera? Icon of 2013 they mean? Uber talented Miguel an icon?… I may love some people on the list but it´s absurd

    • Love Life April 18, 2013

      Miguel is not listed under an icon. Hes in the artist category.

      • JOHNVIDAL April 18, 2013

        It doesn´t matter. Still doesn´t make too much sense. He has been one of the best R&B artists last year but to be included in a list which pretends to be so epic… I don´t see it. And the Aguilera thing… for what now? Almost any other well known act did better than her in 2012. She´s not even one of the most talked about either (talentless Rihanna and the likes would be)
        I don´t really know if the list means that they are the biggest thing in 2012… or that they officially reached their iconic status in 2012 (icon and the rest categories I mean). The second posibility is even dumber, especially in Aguilera´s case again

      • Love Life April 18, 2013

        I think they mean ‘artists’ who have done well in their lanes which Miguel has he had one of the biggest RnB songs towards the end of last year into 2013. The icon category is separate and different. But I DO NOT understand why Christina is there though at all point blank period lol.

  128. XtinaaLovee April 18, 2013

    KingB >Rihanna has no life hes to pathetic

  129. Navy Sailor!!! April 18, 2013

    Why was this post bumped up? Lmfao pathetic…

  130. Love Life April 18, 2013

    I agree. What the f*** has Christina Aguilera done though to be there in 2013 of all the years lol? And I do think Beyonce is an icon regardless of how wrong this list is lol and not only of 2013. NO I am NOT a Beehive but I can admit shes been a consistent big force if pop culture for over 10 years now come on. Credit where its due. Nobody is saying shes the best thing since sliced bread and she doesn’t have flaws, but shes deserving.

    • Love Life April 18, 2013

      In fact shes even closer to 20 years now than 10.

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      Thank you! Someone sane and rational.

  131. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. April 18, 2013

    The list is a JOKE

    Miguel & Frank Ocean??? These are relatively new artists they have not reached icon status

    As far as THIEFonce,I guess she, as usual, paid for herself and M***** Z to be in the magazine

    Still wont stop her album from FLOPPING

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      Learn how to READ they were not listed as Icons IDIOT!

  132. DIGGER BEY April 18, 2013

    I wish people will start reading. Before they start posting non sense delusional jerbish. Miguel isn’t listed as an Icon. He’s on there as an Influential artist. So is Frank. Christina is also listed as an Influential artist.

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      EXACTLY jeesh! And they call the Hive dumb?

  133. S****** Blonde April 18, 2013

    Another thing Sam please change that picture of Beyonce, she looks ugly and her body isn’t the business, look at her face, LOL.

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      Whats wrong with her face? She looks fierce.

      • S****** Blonde April 18, 2013

        She looks ugly in that pic.

      • Yolo April 18, 2013

        That’s a strong word damn, she aint ugly. But Sam needs to put up some of the many more beautiful pictures of her floating around and he calls himself a stan *eye roll* shady b******.

      • S****** Blonde April 18, 2013

        We all look ugly in some pics, i’m not saying she is but she ain’t a beauty either, at least not for me.

    • Yolo April 18, 2013

      But Sam does put up some of the most unflattering pictures of Beyonce though I cant even lie.

  134. King B>Rihanna April 18, 2013

    i have no life but you took you time to check my many comments…….LMFAO! pot calling the kettle black much.

  135. King13 April 18, 2013

    Who the hell is the intern that wrote this article claiming “Schoolin Life” as one of Bey’s strongest singles?????? It was bonus track on “4.” Like really?

  136. A Note April 18, 2013

    Good. I am cool with that. But honesty, anyone would think some of the people on here are debating for their lives!

  137. Fran April 18, 2013

    Great!

  138. DIGGER BEY April 18, 2013

    When I said 2013 was the year of KING B! Good Lawd! I didn’t imagine all this EPIC SLAYAGE! And she has yet to drop her new single! Tell ur favs to go ahead and take the next 12 months off. I see Hoeianna got the memo lmao. There isn’t nothing wrong with that H**. She know the deal. Time has said, everything KING B does turn into an event! The woman is SLAYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG and she hasn’t even announced the date of the single or album release . Who does that? NO F*CKIN BODY! Some Legends can’t do that! KING B IS THAT HEAD B**** N CHARGE! The woman will break forbes next year. While unders see the same ol moderate cash flow *coughs Hoei anna* #2013…….THE YEAR OF THE IMMORTAL BEYONCE

    • ZANIA April 18, 2013

      She is slaying but, Sandra Rose put up a picture of Beyonce concert with missing seats. What happen, I guess all the ticket scalpers bought her tickets thinking they were going to double their profit. I can go on Stub and get plenty of tickets for sale in the US.

      • Mwah April 18, 2013

        You can get anybodys tickets off stub hub. Its like ebay. Sandra Rose is a known Beyonce hater anyway.

  139. HoneychildPlease April 18, 2013

    Rihanna is an ICON, and this bish well she is tired….

    • Mwah April 18, 2013

      Lol please.

  140. HoneychildPlease April 18, 2013

    The only ones buying into this BEYONCE THE ICON mess are the low IQ stans, who are far to dumb to dissect ish, and come to a clear conclusion for themselves..They need people to tell them what they should think of this fraudulent bish..She is no where near a damn icon, she is bought and paid for thank matty for that boo! No style, No great voice, No good music catalog, No real actual influence on pop…Just a damn fraud point blink period! Rihanna like madonna has reinvented herself, and given her stans what they want! If we were to look at how rihanna has progressed, and grown as an artist as opposed to this has been tired h** we would see what a real ICON looked like!

    • Mwah April 18, 2013

      Oh really, so why has she been called that by countless other sources aswell then? No influence on pop? Girl Bye. You are so biased its unreal. I read you saying you give credit where it is due. Clearly not. Your hate has clouded your mind of what is real.

  141. Fran April 18, 2013

    Of course she is. Her single ladies choreography was one of the most iconic dance crazes of modern pop, as well Crazy In Love being THAT SONG that practically defined the 2000s. People recognise her singing style. Shes an epic performer (everyone knows this deep down) its hard to compete with her on stage. People look up to her and she is already very respected. She has longevity as well. How can she not be? She is not a legend however, it will be a long time before people see her as that.

  142. Jewmakinmehorny April 18, 2013

    BUT….where’s her single??? That’s all I wanna know.

  143. I Will Adorn You April 18, 2013

    Wow Miguels in the artist category, good for him though Adorn was my songgg (as you can tell) and Kaleidoscope dream was great album. Glad hes getting the recognition. And well done Bey, of course I don’t really need to say anything else the Hive said it all in this post really.

  144. THANK YOU JESUS April 18, 2013

    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord,
    Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
    heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
    Father which is in heaven. Many will say to
    me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
    prophesied in thy name? and in thy name
    have cast out devils? and in thy name done
    many wonderful works? And then will I
    profess unto them, I never knew you:
    depart from me, ye that work
    iniquity.” (Matthew 7:21-23).
    My special friends, before we sleep this
    night, i want us to think carefully about this
    verse. I want you to put to mind this words,
    ”DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK
    INIQUITY”. You might be an evangelist, a
    choir member, a rev. Father, a bishop, an
    apostle, a pastor or a church member with
    great annointing to raise the dead and yet
    you hear these words on the JUDGEMENT
    DAY. The only thing that will prevent you
    from hearing these words is to DO THE
    WILL OF GOD. Are you doing the will of
    God? I cant answer that for you. I can only
    answer mine. Search your hearts today and
    see if your current life is pleasing to God. If
    not why not ask God to forgive you.
    Sincerely from your heart i want you to say
    this prayer of repentance.
    Lord Jesus, i am a sinner, a prodigal child, i
    come to you and i confess my sins, forgive
    me, wash me clean with the blood of Jesus.
    Write my name in the book of life, i
    surrender all to you, use me and give me
    the grace to live above sin. I confess you as
    Lord and saviour. Thank you for saving me,
    in Jesus name. Amen.
    Welcome into God’s kingdom, may His
    grace never depart from you. Amen.
