‘Team‘ player Lorde has showered Beyonce’s latest solo offering with praise today, thanking the ‘Confessions’ hit-maker for creating the album she’d always hoped she would.
Kind words from the 16 year old chart-topper below…
When quizzed on her feelings towards the LP by fans, she explained:
“I will admit that I haven’t purchased it yet, so I haven’t seen all the videos in full, but I was just blown away by the creativity. I would cry if I had to make that much visual content for an album! Just on that level, it’s phenomenal. But it also just feels like the album that I have wanted to hear from Beyoncé for such a long time, and I’m so happy that it has happened.
I liked what you guys said about her not being afraid to let her feminism evolve, and you can hear that in this record, which I think is so important and such a hard thing to bare. It feels really personal. It meant a lot to me—I was just like, ****, I’m so happy that this exists right now and also I’m so glad that no year-end lists matter anymore. [Laughs]”
Good morning! The”Confessions” hitmaker,though?!
One hit wonder.
Mmmmm The smell of coffie, bacon & pancakes in my house right now. GODD MORTING EVERYONE!!!
Also, yass Lorde AKA Old Face Girl you betta stan for the Queen!
Btw drunk in love has already peaked Lmao it fell 5 spots already
Dark Horse with no video is at number 11
Drunk in love with a video plus so much hype surrounding her album has fell back 5 spots in its 2nd week and is at number 17 kiii
One last thing. THIS GIRL IS ONLY 16!!! The devil is a lair! I’ve seen this girl without makeup & LORD HAVE MERCY she needs to lotion DOWN that face EVERY FUCKINGG DAY!!!
I refuse to believe that this gurl is younger than me!!!
She looks like a GOOD 35 & a OK 25 but 16!!! BYE GURL
@DarkSHIT… But Queen B ALBUM HAS ALREADY OUTSOLD PRISFLOP… Kiii
Stephy stop clinging to Beyonce when you stan for Mooriah who can’t even outsell Nicki.
I still can´t believe Lorde is only 16 years old. Cos of her face and cos of her music. Congrats to her, she had one of the singles of the year without a doubt, and doing it with quality and fresh sound. Congrats on the grammy nominations too.
I noticed you started so called stanning for bey once her album numbers came out your nothing but a pathetic bandwagon follower like Rosie.
As much as I like Bey, did this really deserve a thread? Who cares what this 17 year old has to say. Of course she’s a fan, still didn’t need a post. Sam you make it seem as this validates the dominates of Beyoncé.
What creativity…..?
Stan though
@DARK HORSE.
In less than a month, Beyoncé’s album sales have nearly DOUBLED the sales of Katy’s, which has been out for three months. LOL@you clinging to chart positions of singles when it’s obvious which one the GP is spending more money on. I guess like her galpal Rihanna, she’s only worth a buck and a quarter to the GP. They don’t trust that dark horse to be worth $10, but DO trust Beyoncé to be worth $16. 😉
You people act like Lorde word means something like who cares what she has to say like seriously.
DarkHorse… Please, I will stan for Mariah Carey even after she dies but Beyonce has always been my second fav SO STOP!!!
Besides, Mariah is unbothered about Nicki Minaj. She has already sold 250+ million records. Bye Gurl
These Mariah fans are good for clinging on to other peoples favs sales Stephy does it with Beyonce Johndival does it with Gaga and Slayriah does it with Rihanna, Common Sense is one of the only Mariah stans that can stand alone without clinging to any other artist besides his fav.
Should i care about the opinion of a 16 years old girl, c’mon, we all know the Beyhive lives for people praising their Queen but this is just…..
WOW… what a goddamn liar.. the utter b*******… if it were somebody else she would drag..
You mean like how she dragged Nicki? kiiii. @NickiIsAFlop
Xtina Fan!!!
You can look back & see I have always praised Queen B. I even said she would sell over 500+ with her next album & everybody laughed at me. I may have shaded Beyonce but I have always called her the greatest performer alive & addressed her as the QUEEN..
I also like Rihanna thats about it with the young girls….
I love Lorde,but the point of this post was…?
Lorde is overrated like GaGa Rihanna Britney Nicki & Kesha.
Hi, Paul! You can see my face now. Its your turn….
@StephyLambily whos pic did you steal?
Oh??? So copying Ciara 3 times in one era is called creativity nowadays??
Oh ok!!

@CakeLikeLadyGaGa Lmao Omg! I see no lies. She’s desperate tho she has to steal people’s image to get noticed because shes to wack to be noticed being her boring ass self.
Blondey you still got my REAL number! 540-847… CAll ME B**** & PROVE TO ME YOUR REAL
Lorde you are doing great, and I am going to let you finish,But remember This….Beyonce did great with her
surprise Album drop, and a Jayz worked out a great way to get iTune to buy a Million copies first week.She had One of the Biggest Endorsement Deals ,in the last Several Years, to help push her to the top, plus she dropped the slowest week of the entire year. With the Power that is Beyonce Along it’s a wonder she didn’t do Two Million the first three days.
@baby blanco
LOL nicki could easily and mercilessly drag lorde and your user.. “blanco” lmaoo are you a krim stan because if you are there is no use coming after nicki cuz we all know who the real queen of rap is.. kii!
@ICONIC I cannot at her jacking Ciara THREE FVCKIN TIMES!!!!!!!!!! IN ONE ERA!!!!!!!
Then the HlV+ f**** come here and act extra.. The shade writes itself tbh…
I think she is pretty dope!!! her album is very different and i like her sound!!!! hope to hear more from her
Beyonce do be stealing tho. I cant lie LOL
She steals alot i can’t respect that.
Yes the album is good Lorde but I’m confused, you’ve always wanted Beyonce to sing about S** Songs in a Rihanna style and fashion?
In terms of quality, I agree, the album is fantastic.
In terms of creativity, it fails on all fronts, especially in visuals.
You see all 17 videos, you can insert Rihanna, Madonna and Grace Jones on multiple parts, nothing creative about that.
In terms of musical creativity, she just got Rihanna’s producers and put them in a writing camp, which is why the album, though fantastic, sounds very Rihanna.
Rihanna is Beyonce’s biggest music inspiration.
This is very clear with IASF and how she dumped Amerie’s hand me downs for Rihanna’s GGGB hand me downs.
She (Beyonce) has done this again with this fantastic visual album.
random question why are katy perry’sd stans checking for beyonce’s number if you aren’t a fan than why you wondering what spot beyonce’s songs are place @dark horse????? hmmmmmmm… calling reality and facts out
The album sounds like Rihanna and Ciara image nd sound put together… i like the album but lets not act like bey is creative or orginal.
@Molly
Grab Rihanna’s ROC me out, prolong the notes and you have Drunk on love by Beyonce.
lmao @lovebird giving rihanna to much credit i agree that she copies Rih, but sayin shes her biggest influence is a joke.
She is still doing good,but for her time in the game, all the ass licking her fans give her , All the While Hating on Legends and everybody on the planet, and the above the law approach, that’s in the faces of all Musicians, she could have done even better to me.
ITS BEYONCE , AND THE BEY HIVE WORLD WE JUST ALL LIVE IN IT,WITH HER PERMISSION.
@Lovebird how was it being back home in Sudan??? I know the FET colleges are opening on Monday, that’s why you back in SA and abusing our internet. I hope you renewed your study permit or I will send the immigration officials to deport u back to Sudan if u haven’t.
@Lovebird uhm roc me out sounds nothing like drunk in love lol
I really hate that Royals song, but her kind words are nice! No, this doesn’t validate anything for the Hive. THE REAL HIVE’s unwavering support has been strong and steady from day one! It’s not about sales (although that’s a bonus), it’s about Bey’s remarkable talent that continues to evolve on every new Beyonce album.
Its great,She is Selling good ,There r many she has not sold as well as.
There are many Legends, and none Legends, who has had all kinds of chart success WITHOUT a Blank Check like Beyonce was Blessed to have.
And even at that ,It boggles the mind to read the Level of Blatant Hate for other Musicians.
Something is wrong when Fans go on the Attack and their Favorite Artist is Sitting Pearched at the top of the Charts,You Nutcakes.
But no matter how her Buzzard ass Hive treat OTHER MUSICIANS,KNOW THIS BEYONCE HIVE,THAT MILEY STATED, WHAT MANY IN THE WORLD ARE FEELING DEEP DOWN INSIDE. OH AND ABOUT MY ESSAYS,THIS IS A BLOG,OR AT LEAST I THOUGH IT WAS, AND THE HIVE CAN KISS MY BOOTY IN ADVANCE ,WHENEVER THEY WANT TO PUCKER UP,HAVE A GREAT DAY U SORRY FAAGGGS..
Beyonce: 85 on metacritic
Speaks for itself, I see no lies.
And if Rihanna stans believe she copied you should be mad Beyonce did it better because her acclaim shits on Rihannas entire discography
I will say this, I’m love Bey just as much as I love Ciara, and like RIh… I will say this some things she does do put me into mind of rih and Ciara!!! The image, dancing, creative visual, and lyrics…. and i will point out reality and facts Beyonce does take from ppl and sometime doesn’t give credit where it is due… I wish she did that more!!!! Now as far as originality we all know that Beyonce isn’t original cause all her power moves she is doing now comes from Michael Jackson.. Michael Jackson was the reason why the superbowl has halftime performance… if you look it up they were going to get rid of it cause ppl werent interest and they ask him and he saved it, The pepsi deals ( they sponsor him during BAD ERA ) And her showmanship is a copy of michael’s showmanship!!! But like i SAID EARLIER I love bey just as much i love ciara janet and like rih….
Beyonce is the only Musician on the planet,who get credit
for her chart success,and all the other Musicians Chart success is frowned on lied on and swept under the rug, and never given ATTENTION OR Consideration.
what is wrong with that picture.
People dont like giving Ciara her credit you can tell Bey was inspired by Ciara with this new album. @MusicStan doesnt make it a bad thing.
Shes very smart for a 16 year old. Age is just a number and she is a great musician and smart.
@Stephy
You’re cute, you wanna see my face, well.
Bey aint checkin for nobodies Ciara you can blame the person who directed that video.
@molly Nope it doesn’t cause I like said in a pervious Beyonce’s post Beyonce and Ciara feeds oof each other ( which is a good things) cause it bring out the creative and best work from them to me!!!! i love and respect both ladies!!!! but ONE thing I wish both the hive and squad would ( as a fellow memember of both) is get along and realize this cause if you look at beyonce dancer a lot of them work with ciara… and if you look at both of beyonce’s and ciara’s videos and stage presence they both are also very similiar…. so the sqaud and the hive need to come together cause both ladies respect each other highly
@LOVEBIRD, POP ROYALTY,NAVY
YOU ALL BRING THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SEASONING AND A TASTE OF CLASS TO TO THESE
HOOKED ON PHONICS HIVE FLEAS, THE HATERS OF ALL MUSICIANS ENTERTAINERS
FAR AND WIDE,
DEAD & ALIVE.
@sassyo how you know??? clearly the proof is in the pudding check out both of their videos and you will see alot of similiarities….. like i said before they both feeds off each other and a real and true fan would notice it!!!!! just like she use to feed off aaliyah!!!!
The only “creative” thing about this album was the way she released it. Other than that it’s a typical Rnb album filled with cockiness and sleazy s** anthems. Beyonce has officially been inducted into the Rihanna Fenty Hall of Shame.
@MusicStan I could ask you the same question. The only similarity is her doing a private dance to Jay Z, which she has done before in dance for you. By your logic, Ciara is the only one copying with the whole private dancing thing. Bey just turned it up a notch. I remember when Dance For You came out many her fans were saying it should have been Jay Z.
@sassyo apparently you forgot upgrade you and if i were a boy video both concept were following “like a boy” beyonce even says it when introducing upgrade you on 106 and park… and clearly you didn’t see love s** anmd magic (which came out in 2008) the scene where beyonce and one female dancer stripease for jay-z, the format of that part came from love s** and magic, hmmmm what else how about towards the end of grown woman where beyonce is doing the b*** knee walking hmmmmmm let’s go back to 2006 when ciara introduce it on “get up” and later on on Tyra Bank’s show Tyra Banks wanted her to do it for her, and flawless is almost like Basic Instinct the outfits and attitude of the song…. and Yes dance for you came out before body part but Beyonce was dancing for an actor instead of her husband… Jay-z was on in her video as a feature and around that time ( when dance for you was release) everyone knew her and jay-z were an item…. but she now put him in a video where he isn’t feat with a rap part…. like i said before and i will repeat again I LOVE BEYONCE JUST AS MUCH I LOVE CIARA but let’s face fact they BOTH FEED OFF EACH OTHER WHICH ISN’T A BAD THING!!!!! SO LET’S LOVE AND KEEP THE HATE AND THE BACK AND FORWARD TO A MIMINAL PLEASE….. BE BLESSS ( JUST CALLING FACTS AND REALITY)
@Hatebird… You are reaching at best!!!! African booty scratcher, vanish once again please. crayriah has stole your delusional bird stastus.
And also towards the end of BLOW where Beyonce is dancing on top of a car…… hmmmmm let’s got back to 2004 OH’S video where Ciara was they only one to do this
@Musicstan so why does that mean they are copying? You do realize they use the same directors and dancers also. Directors share their ideas.
And when Ciara first came out, I immediately thought of Beyoncé with the blonde hair and dancing, she was just more crunk and tomboy.
There are many things I can think of that Ciara’s done that Beyoncé has already done too.
The most recent, being her GQ magazine cover (actually no it didn’t make the cover). But I don’t blame Ciara, I blame the photographer/stylist because it was such a blatant copy.
Beyonce is going to get a lot of Grammy noms for this album.
PLEASE… show me any where that Beyonce copied Ciara? And if you fools say something about a hair style Imma gonna LMAO and point at you idiots?
And where did she copy Rihanna?
How can ppl claim that everything she does is just like her old material, and at the same time claim she’s copying artists that aint been out a decade.
yes “Haunted” I can see Madonna…. but thats it. Yall have gotta stop the delusion.
And also towards the end of BLOW where Beyonce is dancing on top of a car…… hmmmmm let’s got back to 2004 OH’S video where Ciara was they only one to do this
_______________________________________
Dancing on top of a car? WAIT? Are yall 12? So now when someone dances on top of a car they’re jacking Ciara? I can’t….. I simply can’t.
Nothing about Blow looks ANYTHING like what Ciara has done. TF outta here
@Bey Fan don’t waste your breath,love. They will always find something to say no matter how ridiculous it sounds,and they know it. When Beyonce finally starts doing promo,interviews,performances etc. and gets a number 1(something they’ve been grilling her over) they’ll be the first to say she bought it. Watch
@beyfan hair style is out of it cause beyonce isn’t the first one with blonde hair…. so that is out!!!!! now to you and @sassyo obliviously you aren’t getting what I SAID!!!!! I NEVER SAID THAT BEYONCE COPY OF CIARA!!! CAUSE CIARA COPY OF JANET AND AALIYAH, what I’m saying is that they both feed off each other which is a good thing not a bad thing!!!! I’m saying they both have some similiarities to each other which is a good thing not bad thing… now to @sassyo the reason why i give you the list is because i’m trying to show you where i’m getting my fact from!!! i’m a huge supporter of both women cause they both are african american women who are bosses in their own right and i’m all for woman taking creative control and care of their business ( i’m a male that is saying this) So let’s take the word “COPY” OUT OF It!!!! They feed off each other
@Beyfan first Im not 12…. i’m a gron ass man for one and let’s not talk when you was just talking about hair(sideyes) i’m was showing @sassyo how much simialrity they have… so before you put you two cent into our convo learn the dialect first
**** grown**** typo
@Music stan feeding off is just your sugar coated way of saying copying. You already stated that in your comment about Beyonce’s originality. I stand by my point, that its not necessarily coming from them. More the creative forces.
@MusicStan …you missed my point ..when I said if you fools say somthing about a hair style..I was talking about ppl saying that Beyonce copied Rihanna and Ciara hair style. I guess you missed that.
And pointing out that they both danced on a car is as crazy as talkin about hair styles…. Just makes no sense to me.
‘How can ppl claim that everything she does is just like her old material, and at the same time claim she’s copying artists that aint been out a decade.’
Lol. This.
” I will say this, I’m love Bey just as much as I love Ciara, and like RIh… I will say this some things she does do put me into mind of rih and Ciara!!! The image, dancing, creative visual, and lyrics…. and i will point out reality and facts Beyonce does take from ppl and sometime doesn’t give credit where it is due… I wish she did that more!!!!

But like i SAID EARLIER I love bey just as much i love ciara janet and like rih….” this is what I said eariler….. @SASSYO AND @BEYFAN THE WORD “COPY” IS NOT ONCE IN MY STATEMENT
pointless fighting faceless people over people that have more money than we will see in a lifetime.
I’ve always said that these artist today have a struggle to be “original”… because complete originality doesn’t exist. Everything you has been done before. It’s about taking it to the next level.
Will Beyonce go down in history as the most innovative and original artist…HELL NAW. But no artist over past few decades will.
All Im saying is that if y’all gonna claim that Beyonce was inspired by Ciara and Rihanna this era… show me….
I’m sorry,not you accusing bey of jacking from Ciara and MJ when Ciara’s dance moves are basically a blatant rip-off from MJ and Janet. @music stan
“I will admit that I haven’t purchased it yet, so I haven’t seen all the videos in full, but I was just blown away by the creativity”
I detect a little bit of shade, EVEN though she said something nice to back it up! hmmmmmmmmmmm…..lol
Anyways, all of you bxtches are pressed, saying Beyonce is trying to be Cierror and Rihject, when she has been around LONGER than them. They invented nothing!
Rihject is an Island girl, who moved to the U.S. and NOW ALL of a sudden she’s a “thug, bad girl, ratchet” She is a WANNA BE and not being herself! *exits*
@IG:DEFINITE2
This site is all about stan wars. It’s how the owners of TGJ get their money. Good luck convincing people to stop. The stan wars date back to when this site was founded
I wonder who started with the cockiness anthems first – Bey or Rihanna? Beyonce did of course. You guys kill me if you think Beyonce is trying to be like Rihanna. Y’all refuse to give this woman credit, for stuff she had done in the past, this album is just a better, more creative, in with the times version of her B’day album.
Why would anyone copy ciara? lol
I remember when Rihanna was getting praised for going the pop mainstream route during her GGGB era and Beyonce was known for her hoodrat and ghetto music because of B’day, so it’s funny to see Rihanna getting credit for what Beyonce’s did first. I guess her fans and non Beyonce fans are just jealous of the success Beyonce is having, so they have to give the credit to someone else.
@BEYSTAN – “All Im saying is that if y’all gonna claim that Beyonce was inspired by Ciara and Rihanna this era… show me…”
Lol They can’t show you because Beyonce did it first, YEARS AGO!
@SASSYO do you know what the meaning of feed off each vs copying actually means… copying in this stance mean to straight up steal from one like other ppl on this post are pointing out… feeding off each other means it is similair but with a little twist… clearly we all know ciara is ciara and beyonce is beyonce but at some points i can see some similarities between the two just like the rest of the normal sane ppl in this world… feeding off each other is not my sugarcoat word for copying cause if i want to she copy off someone I would just come out and say it… Now to educated the uneducated one on how the industry works!!!! Creative Force yea there people who are apart of the creative forces behind both of them but the actual BRAND is Beyonce and Ciara… They have more input in their careers, what you think is more like an new artists who hasn’t establish theirselves yet.. But with Beyonce ten plus years and ciara ten years clearly they have right to their creative force and control, everything is run by them before it gets the greenlight.. for example clothing, hair styles, music, producer, directors, scripts, etc etc… The record companies has some say into the creative control but at the end result it is all Beyonce or Ciara…For example It was Beyonce creative thought to release her fifth studio effort with promo not the record companies… that is why Columbia couldn’t give any info because it is Beyonce decision whether she want the public to know or not… Now as far as where I’m getting this “feeds off each other from” Both Beyonce and Ciara can said whether they want their videos to look like or not they director put some thoughts out there but at the end of the day establish artists had the final say… So when I said they feed off each other I’m simply saying they take bits and pieces from one another but add their ownb twist to it… Beyonce and Ciara both feed of Janet and Aaliyah along with Michael Jackson but it is okay cause it a form of flaterry and it shows the views ( like us) who inspired them and they the originator in talks… Now I’m done and have a blessed friday
@beyminaj I’m not even going to go there cause i like Nicki and all but let’s face fact some stuff she does is a reminder of lil kim foxy and missy elliott
You damn well know Beyonce album isn’t inspired by no damn Ciara. C’mon. lol Now if you say Janet and MJ I’ll agree, but Ciara? Nah. They Both being inspired by Janet and MJ is more accurate.
I wish I could punch Lovebird in the face with a mic for doing the ultimate most…as usual. Anyways!!!
First off, nobody in there rite f****** mind would copy Ciara…if they actually wanted to succeed in life lol. Secondly, how can Ciara stans, Gaga stans, and Rihanna stans gonna talk about Beyonce when their fave’s are COPPY CATTER ASS H*** them damn selves. Ciara isn’t s*** but a carbon copy of aaliyah/janet. Ciara has brough anything new to the table but Several reindentions of the BACKBEND. Another reason why the b**** can’t get ahead. Instead of getting with the millinuem she’s stuck in a damn 90’s time warp.
Gaga wants to be Madge so damn bad that it’s pathetic. Even the general public is starting to realize how transparent she is.
And Rihanna is one of the worst of all. She’s always changing her damn hair color and jacking other styles…oops I mean “reinventing” herself to stay afloat. First she was the BAJAN BEYONCE (she was trying to copy Beyonce’s look and sound), after that she became a second rate Kelis/Fefe Dobson, then she just straight up stole Rita Oras swag, and now the b**** thinks she’s Grace Jones. So miss me with that b*******. Because it’s the pot calling the kettle black.
No ONES ORIGINAL. Fact is, Besides Beyonce’s reigning at #1 Idc how much u try to discredit that s***. It’s just making u look like jealous bitter ass trolls. So seethe(;
im confused…rihanna struggles to sing about money,cash,strippers,and cake….but you have beyonce on the other hand singing about making love to her HUSBAND. where is the comparison? who said rihanna invented singing about s**? the navy fails again when it comes to the research department. Bey >>>rih
the fact remains that your FAVS are inspired by what bey created and how she dropped her album so everything you try and use against bey shall fail. It already has… just check her album numbers. still number 1 after 3 weeks. when will your fav?
@Stephy Tha Lambily: Shut up please I don’t like you!
YASS I love lorde. Her album is amazing.
Yaaaz Lorde!
The girl that stole away Lana’s spotlight!!!
Lorde gives me a little bit of Kristen Stewart looks..
That face is dry bootz though! She does need to moisturize DOWN! @Stephy
