Good point!

"in the same way a controversial hit making blonde couldn’t rock the Pop charts without being compared to the ‘Material Girl’, it’s impossible to watch a Pop belle rock out in a front of a wind machine without being compared to Bey."

That's excellent analysis. I didn't think of it like that. This is one of the better posts I've read here for sure. Keep up with these kind of posts which actually bring something different to the conversation.
