I'm gonna have to ride with you on the novelty thing.

Beyonce has seen better days in the industry. What she is doing by dropping a visual album has already been done by her. She can't outdo herself. She releases videos because she needs that extra umph to build momentum. Her music is CHIT, it all sounds the same, nothing innovating or mindblowing. She is trying way too hard to prove she is better than all the pop starlets, and she is NOT. Pink out-toured her, and Rihanna ranked top 5 leaving Beyonce in the dust yet again.

****But Rihanna being recognized as an ICON is the ultimate accomplishment for someone allegedly in the shadows of Beyonce.

Beyonce's problem has always been and will always be HYPE, HYPE, HYPE. She dropped pretty much during a time when no other pop starletts were dropping and it's too her advantage. BUT in a few weeks she will get a reality check she wish she hadn't asked for. Her stans act like she's doing something major on the charts, but she's playing catch up. CTFU even she knows that.
