In reply to TGJuicée.

It's true that she started to be really known worldwide with Try Again. She passed away when her career, including acting, was really taking off. She was signed to be in The Matrix for example.

It's impossible to rewrite history. She could have been big and consistent commercially wise... or not !
Look at names like Christina or even Nelly Furtado. Or Janet. Or Mariah. They aren't the same type of artists, I get that. But they had huge eras and now commercially speaking, their careers aren't all that. Yet they still live off of their passion, touring, various contracts and royalties.

A case like Beyoncé still selling out stadiums almost 30 years into her career (counting the release of DC's first album) and performing well with NEW music, not an old catalogue, is super rare for a solo artist.

Passing away at while being successful commercially speaking intensifies fantasies. She was a great performer in her own lane, she had a beautiful tone. But she lacked versatility in my opinion, but then again, she was still super young when she died. May she rest in peace.
