Since triple threat mogul Beyonce announced that she was expecting her first child with fellow entertainer Jay Z, many of her fans have been left wondering just when she intends to get into the studio and record her fifth album.
With the critical acclaim her R&B driven LP ‘4‘ is receiving, there are some who are hoping its follow up follows suit.
On the other hand, there are others who feel she should take a more Top 40 route to encourage greater sales figures and a guaranteed chance at nabbing multiple #1 singles.
Now’s the chance to let Beyonce know what you’re thinking.
Confused?
All will be revealed below…
Listing 13 songs from any genre or period of music from any artist out there, we want you to create the ultimate Beyonce album, made up of cuts you feel would leave fans gagging from Soweto to Saigon.
Maybe you feel Lady GaGa’s ‘So Happy I Could Die‘ is just the vibe she needs to force her into higher chart ground or is Randy Crawford’s ‘Almaz’ the sound she should be going for if it’s critical acclaim she desires.
It’s completely up to you.
If you’re feeling extra bossy why not tell us how you would promote the album and how you’d ensure it generates sales figures worthy of competing with the likes of Janet Jackson’s ‘Control′ and Madonna’s ‘The Immaculate Collection‘.
Who knows? A senior member of the Hive may see your ideas and pass them onto the Queen herself.
Get listing below!

Don’t Blame “4” on R N B !! She did that with B’day when it struggled until it was saved by Irreplaceable . Beyonce needs better songwriting. She need to work with Drake, salaam remi, and finally bring in good songwriters
I think the content is not the issue. The promotion, marketing and schedule planning is.
We want a world tour, proper marketed singles, don’t pop out all your videos at once. What I loved about Dangerlously In Love is that you took your time and put all efforts to promote each single as the came out.
Have some ownership over what you want by communicating with us, your fans. You don’t need to tweet but a YouTube blog would be cool or something to get closer to your fans.
I feel Beyonce holds back sometimes on creativity within some music videos, other than s** or relationships what else inspires you. How do you feel about the global warming, lack of education in some parts of the world and gun crime. I would love Beyonce to sing more songs that can inspire me, emitting positivity to earth.
At the same time, we all love a bit of sasha; switch up the game, continue to evolve vocally, the dance steps are always hot. Lyrically I wanna hear more of YOU.
@MARK GINNS
NO!!! 2006 MAY HAVE BEEN ONLY FIVE YEARS AGO, BUT “R&B” MUSIC AS STILL RECIEVING HEAVY RADIO PLAY AT THE TIME … SOME OF THE BEST SONGS OF 2005-2006 WERE “R&B” OR AT LEAT “R&B” DRIVEN/INFUSED – HENCE THE REASON FOR IRREPLACABLE BIN SUCH A HUGE SUCCESS!!!
IT’S THE SIGN OF THE TIMES – THE MUSICAL (TOP 40) LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE!!!
CHECK ON IT WAS AN “R&B” SONG – IT DID WELL!!!
WE BELONG TOGETHER WAS AN “R&B” SONG – IT DID WELL!!!
ALL OF JUSTIN TIMBERLAKES SONGS RELEASED AT THAT TIME WERE “R&B” SONGS – THEY ALL DID WELL!!!
NOT TO MENTION MARIO, NELLY, FERGIE, CHRIS BROWN, RIHANNA, TIMBALAND, T – PAIN & CO. WHO WERE ALL RELEASING R&B SONGS THAT WERE GARNERING HUGE SALES AT THE TIME!!!
“DANCE-POP” MUSIC IS WHAT’S IN RIGHT NOW AND THAT IT WAS THE COMERCIAL PUBLIC IS BUYING – KATY PERRY RELEASED SEVERAL SONGS PRIOR TO “I KISSED A GIRL” HICH ALL FLOPPED, WHY? PEOPLE WASN’T INTERESTED IN THAT AND NOW THEY ARE!!!
I’M NOT MAKING EXCUSES, BUT LETS NOT BLAME “4” ON A COMMERCIAL FRONT – R&B MUSIC RIGHT NOW I DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE REVIVED!!! THAT IS WHY ” I FEEL” THAT “4” DIDN’T DO SO WELL
#MY OPINION
for every r and b song u find on 4, you can find just as many on any of her other solo albums…so bury that excuse………i think she just thought her name was big enough to not have to follow the current dance/pop trend…but she found out differently……
i find this post insulting to Beyonce’s pedigree but on the bright side Queen Bey is rocking that do like a mutha ………
Beyonce needs to :
-Stop letting Jay involve in her career
-Stop jay pushing rihanna against her
-A management of professionals not her family members ie ass kissers
-Dont let the bitter around her stop her grind (Kelly,michelle,solange,..) stop trying to repair your fathers mistakes towards those girls
-Step your video games up
-Promote you actual singles at the award shows.
For example:she performed IASF album songs during the night with Bey for ITV special #stupid
-Keep your eyes on itunes position like the other girls.
For example:LOT was doing fantastic and instead of pushing the video out sooner,she was partying with Jay;when RTW was top 20 on iTunes,she was fuxking jay -z
-Ancticipation for your videos or performances
-Stop paying dust to ASIA,EUROPEAN Market with f***** up promotion.Those countries were begging for her but she aint promoting s*** in Germany,Japan,UK ..
-Stop working with ppl with no TOP40 power like J.Cole when your own songs need a boost.
-Stop the DVD anthologies
-Stop editing your DVD yourself cause there is too many off-topic images,we want TBExperience type of Live shows
In conclusion,ther music is not the problem.She is too lazy and not focused about her career anymore.If she messed up her next era,it’s going to be real hard/almost impossible to repair the mistakes.
Best wishes King B
@CURTAINS

GO BEYONCE
AGREED W/ PAT! “king b” thought her sh*t didn’t stink and she started believeing her own BS. and it backfired on her.
I feel 4 is a great album and as said above it was just the promotion and poor marketing strategy which has stopped this album reaching its full potential.
YET Beyoncè is pregnant therefore cannot be expected to carry out extensive promotion yet this does not effect her marketing team!! They need to pull there finer out!!
We still have next year to smash!!!
I dont think there will be a new album n til 2013/14 if I’m honest!!!
#teambeyonce
LOL, excuses, excuses. Floponce 4loppped because SHE’S TIRED. period LOL.
@CURTAINS
i was nodding my head to your post until i saw global warming…wth? why is Beyonce the ionly artist who bears the onus of singing about global environmental issues. im all for expanding hr range of content but remember Bey is only betwween her 4th and 5th LP its quite easy to forget considering it’s her 14th year in the industry. look at the great females that have been out longer; Mariah, Whitney even Madonna,, majority of their latest materials is still filled with relationship-centred songs but overview of their entire catalogue, they’ve had time to diversify and even so whose going to believe Beyonce when she sings about global warming. People dont look to mainstream music to hear about such issues, it could easily come across as corny; glamorisation of contentious cankerworms
ok!
it will better if she work with RICO LOVE , JIM JOSIN , STARGATE , DR LUKE , DRAKE , the producer of adele ,
DONT LET DREAM WRITE ALL THE SONG…. i know he give you SL but he is bored

@Markginnnis girl what u napping about? where in Sam’s commentary did he say 4 didn’t do so well because it was and R’n’B album? gurl bye!
anyway to answer you Sam,first of all i don’t think the 5th album will be coming out anytime soon,maybe when she’s like 32 and the baby is like almost 2,that’s when u can expect something from her.
secondly,my ideal beyonce album would include the following hits:
1)anything that sounds like her own “i miss you”/disappear/most of the songs on her DIL and 4 and the i am side of IASF and most of all those songs that didn’t make the final cut for the b’day and IASF era’s like “new shoes and kick him out,back up etc
2)What’s my name(or anything with a reggae influence(she did well with baby boy so why not)?
3) anything fun sounding with a good rapper
4)big love ballads with a great male singer a-la her own “the closer i get to you with luther vandross. hopefully she’ll work with Seal or John Legend,the best male vocalists out right now in my opinion!(coz they sound like real men and i love it!
5) something with some rock influence like if i were a boy,but featuring a rock artist like daughtry or that Josh something guy on the x-factor
6)a big ballad or mid-tempo with another big female voice e.g Adele,alexandra burke,jennifer hudson,christina aguilera leona lewis and alicia keys
7)rihanna’s where have you been type song
8)a very s*** mid-tempo/upbeat song a-la baby boy or get me bodied/single ladies
9)a country sounding song,i liked her remake of irreplaceable with that lady from sugarland at the AMA’s some year
10)a very naughty boarder-line filthy song about s**,but sung with clever lyrics!
11)alicia keys unthinkable
12)a song like tina turner’s rolling on the river
13)a very fun poppy and fun beat extra generic song that’ll top the charts,u gotta have atleast one right? 😉
there u go! 🙂
Is she gonna pay $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for our business advice. are we gonna get a cut off her album…
i implore sensible people to please ignore those silly “flop” comments. Posts like this show the difference between intellectuals and trollish fools quite evidenced by their by their limited vocabulary range
I want her to just go away for about a year or more, just stop for a while. She so desperate for attention and accolades, don’t be so needy and having to be in the spotlight all the time.
I totally agree. At first she was totally against being on the social networks but now she is on everything all as a way to receive moe attention. I love her music but I think she is extremely over-rated. I believe she wanted to do a more R&B album because she is getting older and wanted to be seen for more than just a booty shaker but unfortuately for her she only appeals to an audience that wants to see her shaking her a$$.
curtains God bless you.
You hit the nail right on the head, there is no need for anyone to list songs when other songs arent the problem, its the fact that Beyonce is too one track minded when it comes to creativity and content.
Think about it, what does she sing about beyond love, s** and being a woman. Janet may be a flop now but in her day she gave us State Of The World, Velvet Rope, Rhythm Nation. Madonna gave us Papa Don’t Preach, Like A Prayer, Hollywood, Human Nature.
And dare I say- Rihanna has given us Man Down, Russian Roulette and Good Girl Gone Bad.
Beyonce hasnt released thought provoking material since the Survivor album when she gave us Story Of Beauty, Survivor and Independent Woman.
What Beyonce needs to realize is that her s*** really does stink and the sales of 4 prove it.
She needs to TAKE HER TIME and work with writers and producers who can give her highly conceptualized songs that actually SAY something.
Same with her videos- if anybody should be given Gaga a run for her money with the music videos it should be her yet all she does is bite other peoples ideas and release clips that quite frankly could have been thought up in a day.
Beyonce’s 5th album in my opinion should be a solid Pop record.
So here’s my list (even though i said i wouldnt do one)
1. Where Have You Been- Rihanna (but less dubstep and more Afrobeat)
2. Like A Prayer- Madonna
3. So Happy I Could Die- Lady GaGa
4. Escapade- Janet Jackson
5. End Of Time- Beyonce
6. Papa Don’t Preach- Madonna
7. Liberian Girl- Michael Jackson
8. Taboo- Sade
9. English Man In New York- Sting
10.Dreaming- Beyonce
11. Set Fire To The Rain- Adele
12. All Coming Back To Me- Celine Dion
This collection of songs has SOUL!
the first single would So Happy I Could Die.
Second would be Liberian Girl.
Third would be Where Have You Been
Fourth- All Coming Back To ME
Fifth would be end of time
sixth- Papa dont preach.
I think she needs to tour for 4 I loved that album and was looking forward to going to a concert to see her perform my favorites like “I was here” and “End of time” 🙂 then start doing a new album xoxox love you B
bey’knight, you are not really a beyonce stan because what you’re saying is that she doesnt need growth and is beyond takingadvice, NOBODY is beyond taking advice.
4 is a great album but is a flop becausepeople saw through her attempt to recreate adele’s 21.
the ballads on 4 just arent strong enough to sell the album.
Beyonce’s team this time around dropped the ball, including herself. When you’re as big a star as Beyonce, you CAN NOT manage yourself. I think the transitional period with her leaving Matthew was still fresh and honestly, she needed more time & ppl in her camp. Next era, she needs a BIG song, i.e. Single Ladies, Irreplaceable, CIL. The problem with this era was how it started, Run The World was not a bad song but I think ppl expected a new sound and direction of her 1st single. What they got was another female anthem like the last era and the sound (pon Di floor) was already heard around the world. Ppl are used to Beyonce bringing something fresh & new with her 1st singles. So when she released RTW with that beat, it left a nasty taste in the general public’s mouth. Her strong fan base is what saved her with album sales. I also believe her videos need to be more ground breaking, in today’s video you have artists like Lady Gaga & others who are really going all out with their visuals & that’s what ppl want nowaday. I’m sure though for her next era, she’ll come back swinging. She’s a very smart artist, and she would not still be going strong if she wasn’t. She’ll dominate once again.
BEYAAWWNCE IS A SWAGGER JACKER! SHE HAS NO ORIGINAL IDEAS AND 4 SHOWED THAT. #FLOPPPP!!!! SO MUCH FOR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED. NOW THE GRAMMYS ARE AFTER HER BY CUTTING MUCH OF THE CATEGORIES WHERE SHE WON (BY DEFAULT, SMH.) NO ONE DESERVES 16 GRAMMYS IN 5YRS OF RECORDING. THANK PAPPA KNOWLES AND HIS ARM TWISTING FOR DOING THAT. YALL KNOW IF THIS WAS THE 80’S OR 90’S BEY AS A SOLO ARTIST WOULDNT GET MUCH. HER NEXT CD WILL FLOP AS WELL WITH MORE DRASTIC EFFECT. AS HER STAN BASE GROWS UP THEY WILL DECLINE MORE AND MORE AT BUYING HER LAME ASS PRODUCTS. TRUTH!!!
@BEE HIVE,,,,,Some one with some PUKKKKKKIN SENSE
HUMMMMMMMMM I NEVER THOUGHT I’D READ SUCH A SENSABLE
AND INTELLECTUAL COMMENTS,,,GREAT JOB WELL DONE,,I ENJOYED
READING U BEE HIVE!!!!!!
@JAKE
@KAT
COMMENTING REALLY GREAT,,,I ENJOYED READING U AND IT MAKES SENSE AND OKAAAAAAY I WILL LEAVE BEFORE THERE’S A FIGHT UP IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE A NAVAL OFC. HAS DROPPED BY,,,,BYE BYE I AM GLAD THAT KIMBERLY IS GONE HER ASS CHRISTMAS SHOPPING FOR GOODNESS SAKE, BYE , BYE!
curtains you make a valid point but lets be honest, Beyonce doesnt even know what she thinks of President Obama let along global warming.
When she was asked what she thought abouthim back in 08, she said, he was strong and smart.
Excuse me, ALL of the candidates are strong- since they’re trying to run the toughest job in the world- and ALL the candidates have to have a high degree of intelligence for them to get into congress in the first place.
This is her biggest problem, she doesnt have an opinion, To Beyonce- being inspired is taking a trip to a beautiful country or watching an old video and cherry picking the ideas and using them for herself.
Until she opens her doors up to producers who arent afraid of her, she will keep creating bland and predictable releases like the tripe that was on 4.
Because if you say your going to give us an R&B album, you better be serving up some Toni Braxton ‘Unbreak My Heart’ and Mariah Carey We Belong Together, not some tired acoustic ‘I Miss You’ vibe.
I think she did great with 4, she should just keep experimenting and finding herself…I don’t know why people want her to go so heavy pop when she is grounded in R&B with a splash of pop that works for her. I would love for her to work with great writers like Marsha Ambrosius, Miguel, and more Frank Ocean because her voice is just made for R&B, plus i want her to come up with some banging up-tempos that are different form everything else on right now. Definately no working with Rico Love, he has Kelly and a whole division to worry about or Dr. Luke either, these producer have who they have already and Beyonce needs newer blood. Beyonce needs to keep it fresh and invigorating, i like when she uses iive bands and stuff because she is one of the few artist who doesn’t get drowned out and has amazing voice control (ex. I Care). As well, i think its time to freshen up her Aesthetic when it comes to videos and choreography because in that regard 4 was lacking, Frank Gatson just needs someone working with him who thinks outside the box and is not afraid to push boundaries with Beyonce without going beyond her comfort zone. Im not really worried about the next album because im still in love with 4, and hotly anticipating A Star is Born!
She needs ingredients from :
– Telephone, Gaga
– Sweet Dreams, B
– Rolling In The Deep, Adele
– Why Don’t You Love Me, B
– Halo, B
– Rude Boy/S&M (but with grown ass woman lyrics)
she needs to go for an upbeat album, something like B’Day, but really urban, with 1 or 2 big ballads with power beats, something iconic, 4 was an album that SHE wanted to do, it’s a good piece of music but people (not the fans) don’t buy it because that’s not what they expect from her, they know Beyonce as the huh-oh dancer, the girl that shakes her bootay, songs like I Care & I Was Here are somehow too deep for the brand Beyonce, it’s sad but if she wants to sell album she’ll have to go back to Sasha Fierce mode, and frankly she’s the best at it, snatching wigs and all.
But anyway, let her have the baby and then we’ll see. But I know for sure that she hangs in the studio and records stuff, for sure.
So I think Beyonce’s problem is that she is not really connecting to the music she releases. I meant after 10 + years in the game all you have to say is “party” or “run the world”. I think for at least one album i would love so see her take a stand on something and sing about something relevant. Some of Bee’s best song in my opinion is “Save the Hero” (which i loooove) and “I was here” because we get to see another side to her. Michael Jackson was great cuz he sung about literally everything. “Thriller” “Bad” “Remember the Time” “The Earth Song” “Man in the Mirror”. all of those songs are completely different but they help us get to kno what’s really on Mike mind. So yea Bee. Bring out a side we havent seen of u before and i think ppl will at least respect that.
@BEEHIVE
first im not a stan cus i hate that word
second, her trying to recreate adele’s album is somn haters came up with and i dont buy it for a 2nd and if u are a stan u wouldnt either. Bey has mentioned the influences on 4 very eearly on and its so apparent even if she didnt mention. u can hear the Fela influence on end of time, Whitney/ jackson 5 sound on love on top, the old school feel of schoolin life, 90s influence on party, i miss you sounds like a Frank Ocean song righfully so etc. 4 sounds nothing like 21. Adele’s album came around feb, Bey was already shooting video for RTW in March or so, she credited as well but no critic ever said anything about 4 sounding similar to 21, there are not even of the same genres.
when album underfperforms everyone believe they have the answers, they know exactly why it dint do well. dont try to speak for the world saying they saw thru her attempts to make 21, who wants a 21-like album and then releases RTW as a 1st single, promoting it with live renditions of EOT every chance she gets. Bey has done an albm of full of uptempos (bday) now she’s doin the opposite. all her albums are different. if she really wanted to rely on a winning formula, then she would’ve worked with likes of William, David Guetta, Dr luke, redone. hits with them is more guaranteed than with Adele’s sound, Adele is clearly an exception.
and i didnt say she shouldnt grow, i said singing about global warning would be too left-field. i’d rather her sing about women issues, not necessarily about equality but from another perspective for instance importance of female education in developing countries. that i would believe cus we all know its a subject close to her heart. she did open a cosmetology centre and donates towards it annually
Here’s the thing “4” was great…….. It was the lack of promotion and single choices.
“4” can still be saved with End of Time, Start Over and I Care.
All next year she’s still promoting “4” so………
She’s waiting to perform End of Time until she pops out her baby.
I’m still a huge beyonce fan and support her. Don’t believe me? watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHf7iKOmLcc
She doesn’t need to work with drake or anyone else, Beyonce doesn’t hop on the whose Hot right now just to sell. That’s why she’s still in the game after 15 years.
bey’knight, what female issues does Beyonce sing about.
Its very easy to sing about ‘oh women are so strong’ but it takes real guts to sing about what Rihanna did in ‘Man Down’ and what Madonna did in ‘Papa don’t preach’.
Beyonce and Jay Z are champagne socialists who think they are real but are just as artificial as the rest of Hollywood.
as well as that, Beyonce is a faux feminist- she only released Run The World because she thought it would do as well as Single Ladies.
Lady GaGa’s ‘Scheisse’ is a feminist anthem because it has a theme and is actually saying, talking about how strong women are really does nothing to help anyone.
Why are people concerned about her “personality” if you want a personality go to youtube or reality tv, she is a muscian thats where here personality speaks for it self. Get over it. She is living her life like you need to be living yours. She is not your friend she is an artist. As fans we support her, because we believe in her craft. Beyonce does so much and is so much , but keeps something to herself and that is perfectly fine. When artist start to give their all, they lose themselves. I wanna know whats going on with Beyonce on the stage and behind the scenes of producing her craft, i do not need to know about her eating, breathing, and shitting plus she gives you some insight into her self in her dvds, so if you want to no more go buy one.
And Bey’knight dont let these youngins phase you, as if the general public knows anything about the music business and what Beyonce needs to do for her career when she is already and icon with no major public scandels, a husband and a baby on the way. Bey’knight you are true and through a Beyonce stan and i thank you!
4 was a master peice album. There is nothing wrong with the music. Beyonce doesnt need to go to the hottest dance-pop producer for hits. The only reason 4 flopped was because this era was sloppy. Everything from the single selecion to the promotion was just sloppy. Why was she performing Love On Top at the VMAs when Countdown and Best Thing I Never Had were the singles on the charts? The only single that was properly promoted was Run the World(Girls), and that song should have never been released to begin with. If Best Thing I Never Had got the same promo as RTW did, it would have been a hit. The song was radio friendly and had appeal to all audiences. The follow up single should have been End of Time, then Countdown, then Party. If all the songs were promoted and treated correctly, it would keep intrest in the album, which would continue its sells. Promotion for the album could have been alittle better too. Just because the album has been released doesnt mean you should stop promoting.
But at the end of the day, Beyonce pulled through like always and delivered a solid album for fans to enjoy. And thats all that really matters
The Reason 4 isn’t doing so well is because all the singles were released at the WRONG TIME. and in the wrong order, the album is still a good album, she just can’t manage herself properly.
Here’s how it should have been in line with high profile promotional events
End Of Time – Lead Single April 21th – Oprah, Billboard Awards
1+1 May 20th – American Idol
Countdown – Glastonbury Major European sales X Factor France – June 24th
Party (Ft Jay Z instead of J Cole) – Good Morning America (Summer Jam)-June 24th
Love On Top – VMAs/Pregnancy annoucement – August 30th
I Was Here – Abc 9/11 special, (Special Release to mark a decade since – all money donated to charities working with Victims, may not have made much money but it would have gone straight to #1 and would have been massively promotional and reinforce beyonce’s ‘giving and ‘Graceful” personality) September 11th
Best Thing I Never Had – (Could have been performed at X Factor USA 1st live show) – October 22nd
Start Over – AMA’s could have been performed as a video. A Night With Beyonce, X Factor Germany- November 21st
Run The World(Girls) – The Day After Beyonce gives birth to her baby GIRL – January/February 2012
I Care – Closing Single (Release Live At Roseland to Compensate Inability to tour) March 17th
Break
November 2013 Release album Number 5 – I Am Sasha Fierce Part II?
Riconic, i see what you’re saying but dont wholly agree.
I dont think shes a faux feminist because I do think she has a real concern for what girls are going through and knows the issues she faces as a succesful woman in business herself.
BUT i do agree with the fakeness. She is indeed quite fake.
Acting as though Jay Z wasnt allowed to see the final tracklist for 4 in the studio scene in Year Of 4 when we all know he is acting as her manager alongside that guy from Live Nation.
Acting as though she had no idea she was breaking the law when she put Desiree’s Still In Love on the Bday Deluxe edition EVEN AFTER Desiree’s team told her not to do it.
@Rionic
Your a fool if you dont think Beyonce has female impowering songs
@Jake
The only offical single released prior to I Kissed A Girl is Your So Gay, and thats hardly considered a single
First of all she needs to hook back up with her father
Second she needs to find real inspiration not just making a college of other icons iconic work and sounds and putting her Brand name on it.
She been countless cities and countries yet she cant pull anything out of herself to make something epic, in depth,and relate -able?
She needs to make music that really says somethin , “i was here ” was a good start but the some of those songs off of 4 either lacked creativity, sounded like something we’ve heard before or just had flaws that were plain as day
she should listen to Sade ,Adele,the Weeknd ,Frank Ocean,Michael Jackson just so she can really hear artist that forge their own unique sound that bends genre’s and tell stories that people can relate to.
Last but not least Write her own songs .
im sorry i dont see myself having a conversation with someone who thinks rihanna is iconic. bless you sweetheart
perrypower.
ANYBODY can sing about ‘YES GIRLS BE STONG!’ but what about the girls who cant be strong, who will sing for them.
In Papa Dont Preach, Madonna gave us a problem and then resolved it ‘im gonna keep my baby’.
In Man Down, Rihanna explains that when a girl says no it really means no- even if she was saying yes earlier.
What does Single Ladies promote, getting married?
Beehive, leave Desiree out of this. That was sorted along time ago.
@POWER PERRY
I agree with you but RTW was an excellent choice of lead single.It leaked and she let 1 month and 2 weeks between the promotion and video release.A mess
Amen to all the constructive criticism.
I dont feel like she has grown as an artist
Yeah we know she can sing.
But can we please get an cross between T.W O.T.W,Survivor,and Dangerously in love and vocals like on Destiny’s Fulfilled (Her Best Vocal Era was 2004)
Her finest moments musically. Just make it modern.
She’s just like lebron has all the right tools
But still lacks something.
However she doesn’t need to try to be this deep in thought artist. It doesn’t work for her.
She’s still young(30 Isn’t old,its an blessing)
Also Adele isn’t the first person to come out with an album full of dreadful slow songs. So saying she copied her doesn’t make much sense.
Im an 80’s baby. There is no song on any of adele’s albums that can compete with any of the power ballads of the 90’s
I think You should take a break from the Sexyness .. a Small break though … I really Like what @Curtains posted. Being a soon to be brandspankinnewmother.. I would really enjoying hearing some passion on life and something deeper than s** appeal. It can be still about impowering women.. But I would like to see something to impower the world.. You have the talent to end a war .. so Lets try something really heart moving .. Id like to see how you would handle something Celine dion,, Whitney houston,, or Mariah carey would tackle.. Either way Im sure whatever you choose musically will be pretty exciting.. ! Im just happy your happy and I wish the best for you and your new family.. Honestly my biggest hope is that you put your focus on your child rather than trying to get a number 1 record… WHO CARES YOUR BEYONCE!!!! We already know what you capable of and I dont think we will forget anytime soon… You have Plenty of time to get back to Number 1s but Your childs FIRST YEARS are really important and they only come once.. Take advantage of being able to sit at home and enjoy family time.. YOUR GONNA LOVE IT!!! I hope your child sings like you :))) Wouldnt be exciting for someone else to have the crown and after a couple years you do a Sneak attack and shove all the b****** to the Left.. hahahaha!! No hate intended.. Im just joking around… I love all singers and performers.. Beyonces just my fav… Love You BEY! 🙂
BUT i do agree with the fakeness. She is indeed quite fake.
Acting as though Jay Z wasnt allowed to see the final tracklist for 4 in the studio scene in Year Of 4 when we all know he is acting as her manager alongside that guy from Live Nation.
SMH now who’s the fake fan? Did Beyonce say Jay was not allowed to see the final tracklist? if she can take opnion from her team that includes men and women why would she want people assuming Jay had no opinion. your whole theory is actually silly. Who actually thinks Jay, Solange, Tina, Angela Beyince and prolly other close family members had not heard her album before it was released and finalised and what the hell does “ACTING AS THOUGH” mean? u concoct theories in your head and run with it. if she didnt want u to see Jay in her business, do u think that footage would have been in HER documentary…geez
@AYNON
I agree completely
End of Time would of been great to start this era off with………
I Care (the harmonies wow, amazing)
Best Thing I Never Had
Countdown
Start Over
I hope Beyonce learns how to manage herself, I know Matthew taught her well But…….let’s just say I hope she gets it…….learn from it.
I Was Here should of closed the “4” era
I know she’s in the studio for the ASIB soundtrack and for her 5th album, I just HOPE is not slow songs or mid-tempos for the whole album
I liked how beyonce did the IASF album it was mixed uptempos to mid-tempos
Alot of artists can’t do what Beyonce does, she became popular off her 1st album, the second album boost her even more.
What artist became popular off their first album? Thiller tooked michael in a whole new direction.
@RICONIC (RIHANNA + ICONIC)
SHUT UP! u have no valid points, you’re just a typical anti-Beyonce rihanna fan
i won’t find a better POST TO announce that rihanna LOST one of her biggest stans EVER ! and that ONE is ME !
i D’med the C*** and said to her we want her ” as her NAVY ” to show US why we stan for her and that she need to step her game UP ” performance-wise” and enough with RTing that she’s #1 in ” ..” chart and other things she always RT ! and all what she said to me was :
I just Livin’ my f*****’ life C*** !!! then she un-followed me !!! 😡
So , from now and ON , i am not a RIHANNA stan ! i still like her ! but things are not the same anymore , she didn’t become the one i once LOVED !
that’s not an answer from an artist i thought she can be bigger someday …
so f*****’ disappointed in her 🙁 !!!
maybe she was tired when she typed that message ! but i won’t stan for her ANY MORE !
She’s not really taking another break, she’s just getting back in shape, that might take 3 or 4 months. Beyonce will put out what she wants, she just needs a really good manager.
@POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY)
Are you for real, she said that? If true that sucks, she could of been nicer.
In Man Down, Rihanna explains that when a girl says no it really means no- even if she was saying yes earlier.
….except she didnt say no, she shut a man down . what’s the message? every girl flirt shamelessly with the neighbourhood perv in your skimpy clothing, if he tries to r*** u, reach for your firearm under the bed and shoot him down. yeah that’ll make for great women in the society.
4 didn’t flop, the performance is just slow she sold a little over 2 milli WW.
Singles choices bombed…..I like RTW But it should of been an promotion single or something.
@BEY KNIGHT
That’s the problem.At the ned of the day,Jay is managing one of her competition.There is a conflict of interest of Jay being in her s***,it’s not sane !!!
She said,jay doesnt manage me which was fake cause he was implied in the audit s*** throw roc nation.
she is fake and lying
And none of the persons you named have the balls to tell her to do what she dont wanna do.
@Rionic
Um the lyrics to Man Down have nothing to do with what you just said. Its about shooting a man. The video has a message, but the song does not. And honestly, Single Ladies is not the only female anthem Beyonce has. Run the World and If I Were A Boy are some of her recent ones. Beyonce is one of the biggest female empowering artist out there, up there with Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Christina Aguilera in my opnion.
People are acting like 4 sold 500,000 and stopped. if she decides to promte her other singles next year do you think it will hurt the sales of a album that has reached 2million ww and still selling. the only reason 4 didnt get a top ten hit is because she didnt promote her singles that hit the billboard top 40 which were BTINH, RTW, and LOT. she pretty much did one big televised performance and released a video later for each single. but at the end of the album year which will be june 28th of 2012 im pretty sure people will be shocked at the great amount the album will have sold. its not producing big numbers every week but its staying constant between 14 and 20 thousands copies every week. thats adds up over time and people dont notice until billboard says the album is 2 and 3 times platinum. its pretty clear the album will sell more than 3 million ww. thats not a bad flop. But her next album will be the Soundtrack for a star is born.
I only clicked this post to say these kind of posts get on my nerves. TGJ constatly makes them and they are useless. list 13 songs? For what? Ridiculous
And to the Beyonce and Rihanna fans obsessed with I don´t know what: don´t fight darlings, neither of them have any type of strong messages in their music. Pretty please. Your not talking about Annie Lenox, not even Gaga
and if you’re saying u want her to grow but hire Matthew back , u are totally contradicting yourself. look 4 era dint go so well. i see it as an experimental transitional phase. all my favs have gone thru this in their career and personally the timing is not so bad, she has bigger things to concentrate on that’ll keep her smiling. Running back to daddy would be taking the safe, easy way out. im not saying she should manage herself but she made an adult decision, kudos to her for the courage she should stick by it! MJ, Janet, Usher, all severed ties with their parents professionally. Their careers didnt end there, sure it might experience road blocks but thats only part of life. u cant expect to win always. the reception of 4 alone is a source of inspiration in itself. Bey’s life was in a bubble. She’s taken alot of heat this year with 4’s reception, plagiarism accusations, baby bump rumours, lawsuit. i know people who disliked her simply cus her life was too picture perfect. now…. not so much. C’est la vie mon ames, c’est ne pas bon.Beyonce ira bien
I don’t think Jay is managing her, BUT I do think he plays a major part in her decisions….. She needs to scrap that seriously.
How dare you BE’kNIGHT.
EVEN IF a girl flirts outrageously with a man, he does NOT have the right to her body once she says NO- which rihanna did in man down.
Beyonce is no feminist, shes just a money grabbing h** who is about to get sued ONCE again for her bad business acumen.
Its not a coincidence shes always being taken to court.
She stole the song Baby Boy from a girl who sent a song called ‘A Little Bit Of Love For You’ to Mathew in 2002, she stole Desiree’s song and got called out, she stole Cater 2 U for dc.
Oh and how can I forget why Rob Fusari is not talking to her, she claimed to have written bootylicious, fabricating an entire story how came up with it only for Rob to reveal that HE wrote the song BY HIMSELF.
How can we forget about Countdown- how she stole that video.
How can we forget about the drama she got herself into when she tried to claim she wrote Listen only for the Oscar committee to clock her tea and expose that she contribued the least to the song so couldnt get a nomination.
These are just a few examples of Beyonces copy cat ways.
Some of you just TOTALLY went off topic!!!!!! Post says what elements you would like in her album and what kinda promo for it if you want to give your 2cents. NOT “4” CRITIC!!! Surely she made some wrong choices and she said it herself that she will make mistakes and learn from them so let it go!!! She isn’t worried bout her music so why should you worry?? She knows what to do!!!
She’s needs to stop being a “groupie” and take care of business, it’s cute to stan and support your husband but DON’T let that get in the way of your career. Now all I see is Beyonce dragging off Jay-Z balls come on now, s*** even Mariah doesn’t do that. Alicia does but that’s not the point.
I love you BEE but get it together because you’re making me not care too much for Jay-Z.
You have all the Talent in the world Beyonce but you’re not grasping it. The reason why MJ was the BEST was because he ALWAYS tried to out do himself.
Don’t get too comfortable with yourself beyonce, you have TOO much talent to just say whatever i’m comfortable with where i’m at…… NO b**** No…….come on…. Do I have to slap you to wake your ass up?
@KAT DELUNA FAN
Um, I understand that everyone has their opinion but what I cannot stand is when ppl have misinformed opinions & stand behind it as if its the truth. So, let me start off by saying that Jay in no way shape or form (besides being featured on a few songs) has ever been involved with Beyonce’s career. They have seperate careers that don’t have much to do with each other. #1… Beyonce’s father was her manager AND DIDNT KISS HER ASS, that’s why she was so successful he pushed her & the rest of the girls to do their best. Maybe she had some ass kissers managing her this era but I know for a fact that it wasn’t a member of her family. We all know that Matthew was the steam roller behind the brand that is Beyonce, so your comments about her management team are very irrelevant.
@Riconic (Rihanna + iconic)
You cant uplift Rihanna & tear down Beyonce when Rihanna’s career has sort of been modeled after Beyonce’s. So she made Man Down, to promote a girl saying no to sexual advances, but you tear down Single Ladies for promoting marriage? Which one is more positive? Marriage or r***? smh… If Rihanna stans have nothing productive to say then maybe they shouldn’t be commenting. Be thankful that Thatgrapejuice doesnt do A&R on any of Rihanna’s album, judging by the sales of TTT, which has also had a very disappointing release, that soon may be coming.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I do think that different singles should’ve been chose. End of Time should’ve definitley got the single treatment over a lot of songs that were released (I.e. Countdown & Party)… For Beyonce’s next album, I really don’t think she needs to change anything accept her promotion, maybe bring a bit of that Sasha spice back & combine her with the musically inclined Beyonce (not that Sasha isn’t musically inclined)… All in all I think the public needs to open up their ears to sounds other than Katy Perry & Rihanna. But knowing the children of this generation, artist who switch up their sound & try to timeless & classic music will always get pushed to the back in favor of artist who making music for the times.
I think Beyonce will make the necessary changes that she sees fit. She said she’s not afraid of failure, so if she’s reading this I’m sure she’s not phased by it. She has more important things to worry like her child & normal life (which is what half of you on here should be trying to have) either way as a fan of hers & a fan of music, i will still be supporting her.
@Pat, Curtains, and Aynon
I agree with many of your points. The biggest thing I wish for Beyonce honestly is that she would grow up lyrically. I don’t buy the R n B excuse because her album has about the same R n B content as previous albums and I can only point to 2 singles that were pure R n B that were released, the rest were pop songs and frankly…they were the 2011 version of 2009 pop songs.
I think Beyonce needs to a. Realize she can’t sell on her name alone, she needs her promo in order, less silly mag posing, more performances and to have her business in order. The single/music video releases were a mess this year. If her career was 5 years instead of 15 she’d have destroyed her own career the way she ran it. b. You’re stuck in a musical rut Bey. How many times can you release the same song under a different name? ‘Independant Women’, ‘Single Ladies’, ‘Run The World (Girls)’…come on now…thats pushing it. Love you but we can’t be jamming on one type of song for 10 years. c. Lyrical maturity. The closest she comes to grown up music is rather…immature. Mary J. Blige has ‘No More Drama’, Mariah Carey has ‘Petals’, Janet Jackson has ‘What About’ hell even Rihanna has ‘Russian Roulette’. Does B have to be 30 years into her career before sings about something real? She definitely needs to learn to share some vulnerability and depth on a track.
I think if she challenged herself that way I could see some real musical epiphany from her and she’d see success for it.

That’s the problem.At the ned of the day,Jay is managing one of her competition.There is a conflict of interest of Jay being in her s***,it’s not sane !!!
She said,jay doesnt manage me which was fake cause he was implied in the audit s*** throw roc nation.
she is fake and lying
And none of the persons you named have the balls to tell her to do what she dont wanna do.
—————
first u talk like you’re in the know, you’re not ! so stop it . ive never read an article were the media alluded to any tension among Jay, Bey and Rihanna. you’re another person who makes up stuff in your head
2nd, i’d like a link to the source where Bey mentioned that Jay doesnt manage her and even if she did what proof do u have that it’s fake ie where’s your proof that Jay is actually managing her
3rd, nobody should be telling her what to do, they are there to give their opinions that is all. it’s her prerogative. even if she makes mistakes which she admitted to in her docu, she took responsibility and says she’s not afraid to make them and she’s learning from them. that’s balls!
@Akay
CTFU, I didnt know that supporting your HUSBAND while he’s on tour classifies someone as a groupie. I can see if he was her guy @ the moment or her boyfriend, then maybe but he’s her husband. They’ve always supported each other in that way. Furthermore, you’re forgetting one detail SHE’S PREGNANT genius, not much she can do while carrying her child. smh, the things these kids say these days.
Okay going on about her waking up and whatnot towards the 4 album is just an unreasonable expectation. At this point she is really close to term and doesn’t give a SH*T about business!!! She’s concerned with her child and family. Let her be. She is not your s**** to please you. She has her life and is taking time to enjoy it.
EXPECT HUGE CHANGES FROM BEY BECAUSE SHE SAID HER IDEA OF SUCCESS HAS TOTALLY CHANGED!!!!
Ok let’s be honest “4” did not flop. What’s happening to bey has happened to Madonna Janet Mariah. People start to move on to newer artists. These legends however have there massive fan bases still which manage to make the album number one and and this day of age where no one buys albums a platinum certification is bloody brilliant
l dont want her to hire matthew back cause she has been ungrateful towards her.Bey is the artists who make the most money of her music because Matth did an amazing deal for her ass with Sony.Do you think it’s all coincidental how Adele is now the biggest female artist of Sony that Matt is gone.
Matt put Bey’s in the front for her to earn all the s*** she was involved in,not like rih or others that their labels suck them dry.Yet she fired him for some dark reason she has never proved.NO l dont want matt to repair the mistakes Jay’s label made,she is grown,deal with your decisions B****
l proud of her for this independent steps,trust me,it solidifes everything she stand for in her music.But what is the purpose of firing your father to hire your manipulatibe,sociopath husband who happens to manage and design his artist as your strongest competition?????
It’s a catch 20,Jay managment is worst than Matt,we can see the results pretty clearly.
@MIKE ditto 😕
about this POST :
“4” was a great album ! but if i’m going to address what she need to do in her next album , it will be :
1- GET YOUR ASS TO BE SEATED AT TWITTER for god sake beyonce !
2- BETTER songwriting
3- versatility ! i know she tried her best with singles like “RTW” when she tried the futuristic electronic route mixed with the EPIC drums baseline ! but it was TOO much in one track BB , the same goes to BTW by gaga ” the single” !!
4- better promo !
5- better scheduling !
6- release singles/music vids to iTunes On the right time !! in order to chart well and sell well !!
6- give credits to ppl ! and i prefer to do it through TWEETING IT as gaga do ! ” see what she tweeted about the MTN music video ” !!
and that to shut some basic b****** DOWN !
7- to be more ORganized and let her team know what goes in her head and how she wanna represent herself ” through singles” ! cuz we had countdown , followed by love on TOP ” the music video” , followed by party ! and that was like an old tampon leaking !!
8- step OUT a lil from the R&B mold BB , you are too talented to be put in that category forever !!!
9- to have more connections with her fans ! cuz that help a lot now !
10- get new producers , underground ppl to work with them ” a la madonna ” !
11- KEEP her next album LOCKED at her PC with a password to avoid leakage !
good LUCK BB 🙂
@WHITNEYSLAYETH
i honestly dont give a rat’s ass what msg rihanna tried to promote, thats btw her n her fans
and this post has nothing to do with Bey’s lawsuits so your essay was irrelevant. Bey is not the 1st artist in history to be sued and certainly wont be the last. Whitney and Rihanna have multiple lawsuits between them so shut it!
and no dont reply me, im not here for opportunistic rhitards that wan try make every post about their fav, this post has nothing to do with rihaha, buh-bye
im still waiting for proof that Jay manages Bey now btw while we are on the subject Jay himself is not anyone’s manager, he founded roc nation and he signed rihanna while he was ceo of Def Jam Island
and since Matthew is such a genius, why hasnt he recreated the success he had with Beyonce/ DC with any other group or solo artist?
Bey dint say nothing about wanting Matthew back, thats just another scenario that plays out in your mind.
simple ROCK POP ALTERNATIVE LIKE SONG S** ON FIRE ETC PRINCE KINDA AND STILL SOME UPTEMPOS LIKE END OF TIME
Bey needs to go back to basics for this next album.
1. Let’s build expectation, Ms. Knowles. 4 could have been a commercially successful album because she had everyone waiting in the industry…Brit and Gaga had already played their cards…so everything was in her court. But she screwed it over.
2. Have a theme for your album! Don’t have music everywhere…have some consistency.
3. DO GLOBAL PROMOTION! U.S. and Europe are locked down for Bey. She needs to expand her horizons like she did B’Day. Her marketing in Central and South American countries was out of control. It gave her a new fan base simply because of that, especially when she teamed up with Shakira.
4. Stop making recession special videos. RTW was classic. Put more time and effort into these cheap videos.
5. Heighten anticipation between videos and singles with Single Promotion and Video Hype. Bey should take tips from Gaga and Rihanna here. These two blow the hell up for their new visuals and singles. WIth Bey, she just releases a video and you get confused because 2 days ago she released one.

————————————————————————————————
ALL OF THIS ..
ESP THE PART ABOUT SUPPORTING HER HUSBAND, SMH SOME “FANS” ARE JUST SELFISH, just like selfish rihanna fans would prefer she keeps draining herself so they can brag on blogs rather than attend to other important issues in life family, rest, well-being,
@BEY KNIGHT
1-Where were you when ppl said Ring the alarm was a beef song toward rihanna because she was f****** jay and was jealous of the Umbrella collabo?
2-Complex mag.
3-This the purpose of this post,so i am answering.Who cares,she can do wtv she wants.if she is not going hard she will flop like MC,MJ and all the icons of the past did in the past.Who cares? kat is flopping and my life is still the same so ldgaf
@REMEY
Agreed!
even IASF coulda sold more if she didnt start touring so early
@mariah :
i was shocked , like really !!
but i still like her though !!! :/
i like @POP ROYALTY’s points too, i agree with them all except i dont want Bey tweeting much, if she’s gonna tweet. it should be more like Gaga does it, u know very strategic
@BeeHive
You are a very contradicting character, you’re not going to do a list but you do one anyway, 4 is a great album but its a flop??? And how did she try to make Adele’s 21? Not a single song on 4 reminds me of “Rolling in the Deep” smh…
Beyonce didn’t want to recreate BDAY & IASF, which is what obviously fans like you want her to do. Ciara ran into this problem, ppl wanted her to go back to her roots after FR & when she did ppl still weren’t receptive of it. How about let Beyonce make her mistake (like she said she may do but wasn’t scared of), learn from it & do something different… I see major growth from Beyonce musically especially with 4, if you don’t see that (obviously cause you want her to be like Rihanna smh) then that’s on you.
Beyonce has been in the game for 15 years, has had a very successful career, many successful singles & successful albums (maybe not this one so much), so really your opinion along with every other negative opinion is irrelevant. Beyonce doesnt need advice from outsiders looking in like you. She will just fine with the advice from those that she trusts. And please dont call yourself BeeHive a real fan would not be making all the fuss you’re making about an album that was clearly a classic but didn’t sell like IASF. It doesn’t need to in my opinion because Beyonce doesn’t have anything to prove anymore unlike Rihanna does.
@Flop Royalty, lol i cant believe Ri did that to you boo…psyche i lied.lmao Like she said c*** she just trying to live her life and its obvious to me and everyone who is not a Ri stan that her main purpose in life is to have fun and enjoy the fruits of Roc Nation’s label.
Beyonce wil be fine people, she knows what she is doing, she knew what she was getting her self into with 4 from the begining, it was a labour of love just like her unborn baby and thats why they go hand in hand for Beyonce. Instead of worrying about her career which is impeccable just worry about paying your bills and getting your s*** together like me. This is music not rocket science!
I want beyonce to go more towards Rock sort of. Something like Prince & Tina Turner…… she already have the live band…… If she new how to play guitar that would be nice………but going towards Rock& Roll would be very different……….
@PUCCI
love all your comments; potent and articulate !
@kat deluna & @BEY’knight :
WHAT’S UP ?!

how do YOU know rihanna was f****** Jay-z ?! ” i know it is understandable , but UNLESS you got a sextape of both of them SEXING , then u gotta STFU and go listen to that new kat deluna track : FIRE ”

do NOT let basic b****** bother YOU !!
you are cooler than that U know 😉
@KINGPHOENIX
hey thanks for your encouraging words. i’ve learnt from this as well too lol:
people wont acknowledge your efforts unless u get a gold medal. i bet bandwagon fans all think her previous eras were perfect cus they saw the top 10 on billboard and sales figures smh. aint that life
Lmao genuis,Matthew knowles creating the DC and Bey in :
*7 months frame time or
* 11 years?
Choose one answer Einstein 😆
You are in the same mindset as rita ora,willow etc …thinking jay is not involves.Lmao Look at the IA..yours DVD.Jay’s face was nowhere,now you cant buy a B’s DVD concert without is camel looking face in it
@REMEY
yes to the 1st point.The IASF hype helped her so much to sale at least the first weeks.She ruined it all smh 🙄
A LOT OF PEOPLE think Beyonce’s pregnancy is FAKE!
Beyonce needs new and better “beach” pictures of her belly, DURING HER 9th MONTH of pregnancy.
If she cares about the stupid rumors at all, she will show everyone her belly again to make everybody shut up!
If she never shows her belly again, the whole situation will look SUSPICIOUS AND FISHY AND WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIX THAT PROBLEM BEYONCE, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is Jay-Z being so strangely quiet about the topic of Beyonce’s pregnancy?????????????????
The whole thing is such a strange, weird MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce always seemed so incredibly fishy to me, since the Destiny’s Child days. She comes across so weird and fake, still today. Ugh, it’s bad.
alot of people underestimate “4” but rock bands thought 4 was amazing. To me personally I think it was her single choices. RTW should of been promotional because she’s too grown for repeating who run the world? girls lol anyways ALL the other songs on 4 is amazing. I Care, End of Time, Schoolin life, Start Over, I was Here should of been released.
“4” can still be saved, well actually it didn’t flop, it sold over 2 milli WW. 4 can sell over 8 milli WW if she plays her cards right. The thing about Beyonce is that she doesn’t abandon projects or have push backs, meaning in the next few months she will be about to fully promote her 4 album.
She’s due to give birth in a few weeks……
@POP ROYALTY
dead at the last point.l am fine,wassup girl?
Rihanna’s publicist said they made that story up to boost her career.The publicist spilled the tea because she fired her management team post GGGB because she ended up with like 20.000$ in her bank account
Google it 😉 😕
@kingphonix :
so BAD i wasted so much time stanning for this H** !!
her attitude is getting ” badder” by the second ! and as a FORMER rihanna stan ! it is showing in her twitter page !
her she unfollowed one of her fans cuz he said the same as i did , but this was on PUBLIC :
she even started her tweet as if she’s a ghetto b**** and said :
u got a problem how i run my page …. ! and he was her STAN , just like me , but he is not her stan no more too !!
go see her timeline !!!!!
so bad 🙁
I strongly agree with BEEHIVE’s song selections
Bey has been called QUEEN and LEGENDARY so many times…she needs to do something more iconic. What works for other artists doesn’t work for Bey. And I think thats what she was thinking with 4. It’s a learning experience.
I don’t know what it is, but there’s been some type of curse in te music industry when it comes to your 4th album. (I.e Alicia Keys’ ‘Elements Of Freedom’) Theres been a list I artists who’s 4th albums havent performed well compared to the previous ones. It even goes for Rihanna…
Anyway back to Bey…My question is who want to hear Bey sing about global warming? Who wants to hear ANYBODY sing about global warming? I didn’t know this was the magic school bus or bill nye te science guy :-/
We just want her to live up to the QUEEN status is all…
@STRANGEYONCE KNOWEIRDLES
Why would anyone want to address something so stupid? She doesn’t have to pose n*** or retake pictures to make people shut up….
Everyone wanted her to be pregnant now that she is….. some people are skeptical
so…….why put all that negative energy in your life? She has nothing to hide.
Go sit down!!!!!!!!!!……….
Hire Mathew again, quickly.
Evolve musically, and spice up the routines. I love that Bey is Tina-turner-esque–but I think she really needs a re-invention! She seems kind of stuck in the same performance style and musically style, but things have changed so much since 2006.
Beyonce has her own trademark style (unlike some that change and try to anticipate whatever will be popular) but she needs to evolve a little in her own way.
I want her to do Electronica or acoustic. I also think she can over-sing sometimes, which artists do when they get bored. I want her to strip her voice down.
In order for Beyonce to comeback with solid album, she needs to take at least two years off. So that when she comes along her fans will be awaiting what ever she has to offer, and it will be highly anticipated due to the fact that there hasn’t been new material from her in awhile.
As for her album structure, she needs to focus on something that she can hit out of the ballpark and at the same time will be ground breaking. Like a solid R&B/Soul or Contempoary R&B album. Why? Becuase a mixture of pop and dance with mild r&b will have critics comparing it to her previous works, as well with other artists records.
A decent R&B album with top notch songwriters like:
Ne-Yo – This man right here can pen a good classic r&b song with a melodic core, but at the same time he can also provide mid tempo tracks and ballads. He shouldn’t be over looked due to his previous works with other artist.
The-Dream – Meh, he can stay. Although he’s know for penning up tempo tracks, The-Dream can pen solid R&B masterpieces, take a look at what he did for Lionel Riches previous album, that’s the type of material that Beyonce needs for her 5th coming.
Johnta Austin – One of the most underrated and overseen songwriters in the mother f’ ing game! If anyone can bring Beyonce to the time it’s him, her breathes love songs!
As for other songwriters, Claude Kelly, Ryan Tedder, and possibly Sean Garret and Rico Love and Ester Dean.
Producers: Stargate, Tricky Stewart, Los Da Mystro, Chuck Harmony, Eric Hudson, Reggie Perry, Jemaine Dupri, J Lack, B. C** and Danja
girl hush, if his so good he’ll have more than one success story, how many superstars did Benny Medina manage simultaneously? Tiffany evans was on his roster long before Bey fired him but she fired him too cus he’s not all that. credit for his contribution but he doesnt get all the credit for Beyonce’s success.
FYI
he’s had more than 7 months to pull something out the bag, what was he doin thru/out last year? now he’s a reality tv star like other losers. might as well change your name to Matthew Knowles Fan
@POP ROYALTY
I see u buddie, i was LMAO at your encounter with Riri aww poor u, u aite though, shake it off
Its okay @Pop Royalty, i think she is just a lil rundown right now, she is f****** tired she has to be ,working for so long and doing so much once she has a break she’ll be okay…
In the meantime, get ready for more of Beyonce because once Baby Girl Carter is out the womb and promo for A Star is Born goes underway she is going to be everywhere slaying any and everything in her path. She has the potential to be one of the greatest entertainers to have ever live, a true living legend… “I may be young but i am ready”
Please l dont want Matt to save her declining career her husband destroyed.Are you retarded? Matt lost her Job to Xerox for Bey,not kelly Tiffany or such.
Who cares,what goes around come back around.Matt is old and has to enjoy his life now.l mean even Madonna,Sade,Prince have managers,who she think she is ?
Matt aint coming back,deal with jay management now 🙂
look the b**** time is up. theirs no rescue from that. Unless she becomes a fool and go down the rihanna path, then just maybe. No im siking myself! Look Bey was once that b****, now its ova, the public is tired of her. All the greats go through this stage.. from Madonna to Janet Jackson, after awhile u get stall. However compare to Janet, Janet was still going strong until she reached 38 with that superbowl mess, but fo Bey, 30 yrs old and now struggling. Madonna coming to snatch her wig back, and its not going to be funny.
why you keep banging on about matt not coming back. Noone wants him back. he has always been unpopular with the general public anyways, good riddance and you can take a hike off Bey’s fanbase as well. you’re neither wanted nor needed . go spend your time setting up a Matthew knowles fansite, bye
AS A FORMER RIHANNA STAN :
i refuse to agree that beyonce need to do the type of songs rihanna is doing !
cuz at this pOINT , BEYONCE do got her own sound !
like whenever i hear live instrumentation i remember her !! she’s true to herself !
rihanna is doing what will keep her one of the hot artists of the moment !! no growth or whatsoever , she only showed growth in RR , but when she saw she wasn’t that “HOT artist” , she gave us the LIGHT-headed “LOUD” !! a step-back from growth if u asked me !
and it is not even her own image ! she believed she’s a bad gurl when she’s originally nOT !
as i said before , she’s doing what will make her hot at the moment ! i don’t think she think about the future or being an icon or to be respected !
just look at her TL ! she love ppl who hate her so much or ppl who keep kissing her ass and RT their stats about her #1’s and such foolishness “practically” !
where’s her passion for music ?!
where her ambition to be a better A R T I S T ?!
YUP , i’m gonna get honest about this b**** !
she need to focus on her music more than her next photo-shoot or her new hair-do ! like c’mon , i respect gaga artistry more NOW ! at least she’s true to herself !
B****** WHO’S GONNA BE ICONS :
1- ADELE
2- LADY GAGA
ALREADY ICONS :
1- BEYONCE
2- BRITNEY SPEARS ” SHE WAS LUCKY” !
#CONFESSIONSOFAFORMERRIHANNASTAN
AND BEST BELIEV NO ONE CAN get honest LIKE A FORMER STAN … !
@BEY’knight :
LOLZ ! i was like :
B**** , u can not unfollow me ?! and as a matter of seconds , she was unfollowing me !!
the b**** don’t even bother to have a good argument with her navy ! all what she’s good at is kissing asses of ppl who RT when she get a #1 in iTunes or something ! as if she wanna prove she’s slaying !
PSYCHO 😆
i’d rather stan for a h** who had a hard time proving herself and avoided a lot of s*** while going Up there with no iTunes or no such foolishness than stanning for this confused H** ! 😡
it is official i said it ! hope @s*** don’t show UP and blast her ass as usual , cuz best believe i will let him do it cuz this time , this lazy thinks-that-her-success-is granted- h** deserve it !!
YUP NAVY , i said it !
@KAT DELUNA :
MATHEW IS NOT GOD !
he was managing her in “B’day” too ! and that is not my least fav album of her and her baddest era ever ” minus BL and I moments ” !!
and she wasn’t pregnant as u do know 😉 , so mathew is not ” all that” as u think !
so ,
let her manage herself again , she learned the ” i will manage myself , that’s cool , but i gotta be ready physically first in order to give my all ” !!
she’s just learning for god sake !!
………………………………………
Bey fans calm down. She is far from a flop because 4 is already platinum, which is a great feat because she had no “hit singles”. Not every album is gonna be a commercial block buster, period. 4 is her best album, and just because radio didn’t support the singles, does not mean they aren’t good. 🙂
as her NAVY ” to show US why we stan for her and that she need to step her game UP ” performance-wise” and enough with RTing that she’s #1 in ” ..” chart and other things she always RT !
————————————————————————————————————
DEATHHHHH!!!! So wait you come at the chick sideways and expect her respond to you like a f****** nun?!! You cant be serious. The chick has been performing on tour for months! Recording an album as well throughout the same tour! Some of her performances mind you have also been quite stellar and have shown growth. But you didn’t even make mention for example of a good performance she’s done that should be her reference point when it comes to what you expect from her! You go straight the f*** in!! Smdh. Everyone is not perfect and will have an off-day here and there but its not to say that she’s been sitting on her ass doing nada and there’s no absolutely no excuse. You disappointed me here. Oh well it doesn’t matter anyway.
I think her Next album should be more commercial like Depeche Mode-ish, like ’80s electro house with some Rock edge. Just Big Records
Sweet Dreams and Radio x10
I think her Next album should be more commercial like Depeche Mode-ish, like ’80s electro with some Rock edge but diff from everyone else . Just Big Records
Sweet Dreams and Radio x10
I think IASF was the Perfect album just take out a few songs like Ego Video Phone and Diva. It was a Great Pop Album
@WHUT :
I SHOWED HER THAT LINK ” WELL i told someone else from the navy to do it , cuz i thought she might ignore mine , and u know how we ” the navy” are doing those stuffs 😉 ” :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdRDyIXfDgw
” see all other performances from the same set (AOL SESSION) ” ! that my answer when basic b****** say she can’t sing live ! ”
but anyway , i understand she was tired ! but ” i will try to do my best” is WAY shorter than what she wrote , speaking of being tired as u say !
and i didn’t go iN ! i was speaking normally without being too much !
ANY WAY ” it too late to turn back now ” *in rihanna’s voice* !!
R&B muisc is DIED right NOW! POP MUSIC has took over the world. Beyonce needs BIG RECORDS next album BIG SONGS
4 is not a bad album…
they went with the wrong singles…that’s it
they should have went with “end of time” as the first single…after that “love on top” with proper promotion…then maybe “i was here” or “i miss you” as the winter single…
on top of that girl should come with great videos and not those recession special “inspired by whoever made something” videos…
beyonce has the thing to be an icon, but she really is no icon yet, don’t care what anyone is saying. for me, beyonce has no story, no character and no own style…i mean – girl is stealing videos and performances
all icons had something to separate themselves from others…and they had stories… that’s why britney is an icon for so many people, because they can identify with her and love her for what she’s been through
@INK I AGREE WITH YOU 1000000% WANT MORE OF THOSE SONGS!! BEY AND EVERYONE ELSE AFRAID OF HER DOING “FASTFOOD” MUSIC NEED TO REALIZE THAT WITRH HER VOCALS SHE CAN MAKE EVEN A REALLY POP/ELECTRO POP SOMETHING PHENOMINAL!
Look at RADIO, can u imagine any other pop singer do that with the same arrangements??? They wouldn’t be able to pull it off the way the song is.
Just one more addition to what ypu had to say ink, “Hello”
R&B use to be in , pop use to rule the WORLD back in 1996-early 2003. Then crunk R&B took off. Then R&B was slowly dying, now electro pop is taking over. That to me is so 70ish. In other countries electro pop been out.
Lmao stop talking about matt cause he is gone.
Talk about how bey is doing so great without him cause that’s the topic here.Lt wont change the fact that she was ungrateful and treated him like a thief.
Bday flopped but she at least got a R&B album of the year,will 4?
Blame the person left around her now,not the one gone 😕
the logic
@Strangeyonce Knoweirdles
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This describes you to a T becasue while you’re stating that Beyonce is weird for whatever frivilous reason, your comment deserves a second & third & fourth glance for having ABSOLUTLEY nothing to do with the post @ hand.
First off, Jay-Z has talked about Beyonce’s pregnancy in interviews but right now, he has an album to promote & other business ventures (not that his wife being pregnant isn’t an important matter) but a lot of ppl non-celebrity & celebrity alike do not like to talk about their pregnancies everytime they talk to an outsider. He doesn’t have to talk about her pregnancy in every interview or at any spare of the moment. Beyonce doesn’t, although its pretty hard for her not to talk about it since she is such a superstar & is the one whose pregnant. DUH! smh
Furthermore, why would either of them feed into the gossip & b******* theories that ppl like you create? Will it make you feel you better that Beyonce has stooped to your level of immaturity… SHE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT PPL LIKE YOU. Ppl who are miserable internally & want to make everyone else miserable. Ppl who want to keep drama & s*** going on just because it’s fun to them. Ppl like you have been wishing this woman pregnant for years & now that she is, you all wanna cry FAKE? smh I wonder what you all would’ve done had she not revealed her pregnancy until the 8th or 9th month or until she had the baby… Oh I know, you all would’ve speculated once again & called her out FOR NOT SHARING IT with the public. smh again
While you’re sitting here telling Beyonce to FIX & problem that doesn’t & shouldn’t exist how about you fix the problem you have. The problem of sticking your nose into someone’s personal life when its really none of your business. Beyonce is human, not a machine & as a human being deserves to have some privacy. I know its hard for ppl like you to understand a concept that simple, you use her celebritism & the fact that she revealed her pregnancy to us on tv (which btw, would’ve came out anyway & is better than lying about it 9 months until the child is born) as the right to keep prying into her life. Truth is, there is NO EXCUSE to do that, it’s wrong. I don’t care if how big of a star she is, she deserves to have some privacy. POINT BLANK!
beyonc edoesnt need to please anyone she could keep doing what she wants to do! why yall want her be commercial like all these lames out here now uh? yall dont appreciate real talent or good music beyonce girl keep doing you f everyone else ur fans love you no matter what
and i didn’t go iN ! i was speaking normally without being too much !
ANY WAY ” it too late to turn back now ” *in rihanna’s voice* !
————————————————————————————————————
It read as going in. Especially the part where you basically told to stop RTing her accomplishments. Its cool tho no one can decide for you who to support it is what it is. You do however come off as fickle with the immediate Beyonce gravi and stannage tho.
TinaMinaj
I think ppl are AFRAID it’s going to sound like everything out there.. I’m like HELLO Sweet Dreams and Radio sounded nothing like anyhting out
I think Depeche Mode-ish ’80s electro sound would fit Beyonce Perfect!
@ Kat
You think she’s doing well without Matty? I don’t know, I think she should be managed, at least by someone other than herself of her husband’s people. They are too busy with everyone and everything else. She needs a bulldog like Mathew to head her strategy. She had high-profile appearances, but I didn’t get the real “strategy” behind her release this time.
It’s almost like they banked on her being Beyonce—which matters, but it isn’t everything. She sold a lot based a pretty good album and her being her (amazing performer) but I think they really fumbled the “strategy” part.
I wanted to see them going with a theme like Bey-Revolution and making her sets and performances cohesive with that kind of dystopic, end-of-the-world and Bey is the Queen kind of theme. But her shows didn’t look like that or her overall feel. I didn’t like that. She should have been sitting on a f****** throne with a crown and all types of crazy s***. I don’t know, that’s what I wanted, and I think that’s what her fans wanted.
She needs to use ‘LOUD’ as her inspiration. Im making an example how it should happen. if ‘4’ was ‘LOUD’ with Bey collaborating with Eminem & Busta On the hook of ‘I need a doctor’ before releasing ‘Only girl’ as the 1st single, S&M as 2nd Single, a pop/rock catchy ballad like Carlifonia bed as third single & Man down as last single.
If she snatched everything on that album including the image & red hair, then BOOM we have an evolved Bey!
She needs to release Singles that talk to the masses, evolve with time unfotunatly ‘Run the world’ was not mainstream & was too busy, the ulbum cover looked uninspired, the title ‘4’ is not a good concept even if it has a meaning behind it seems odd like it needs more. ‘Elements of 4’ & DVD cover should have been used instead.
@xxx
I’m sorry, Britney an Icon over Beyonce? smfh… WOW yeah i def can identify with Brit’s story… I became famous @ a young age, stole another woman’s man, loss my children becasue of my insanity & now I make music for the times to stay relevant.
Yep, very indentifiable… Britney is not even the same after that crazy 2007-2008 fiasco. However, I will agree that she is an ICON, but to say that Beyonce is not & Britney IS is highly laughable.
You talk as if Beyonce is forgettable when she has contributed to pop culture just as much as Britney has. Singers coming out today aspire to be her, if that’s not an ICON I don’t know what is.
@ Pop Royalty
Wow, this sounds really strange to me. Did you send her anything else? how are you?
You better stan for Beyoncé now 😉 !
ousha marie beyonce has a status for what she wants to do yess but she did it with 4 ok but now she needs to pick her game back up before its to late so thats why beyonce people yall looking ?? LISTEN UP TELL BEE THE NEXT ALBUM SHE SHOULD THINK ABOUT ROCK POP LIKE PRINCE LIKE WHAT SHE DID ON GLASTONBERRY WITH S** ON FIRE AND GO ON AND OFCOURSE THE BEYONCE SONGS TWO BUT THAT GENRE SHE SHOULD BE GOING CAUSE SASHA FIERCE WAS POP RNB NOW POP ROCK THAT WILL MAKE HER THE LEGEND JUST WATCH 😉 ENOUGH ROCK GROUPS THAT WANNE WORK WITH HER AFTER WATCHING HER AT GLASTONBURRY X
Bey needs to stop following trends
DIL she put Sean Paul on the album bc he was the hot artist
Bday she put shakira on a track be she was the hot artist
IASF she followed the alter ego trend and put gaga on the album bc she was blowing up
4 tried to swagger jack 21 and threw j Cole on a track bc get hubby told her he was hot.
Bey needs an original album idea and better lyrics. Bday is by fave era. I was disappointed when she threw shakira on a track for more sales.
@INK So true. Its like they forget Bey has powerful vocals and her voice is extremely versatile. First time i heard radio i thought it was a tuned up voice and not her own vocals doing all the work till i saw a live performance and was in awe. She can also do amazing runs and stuff that would further make her sound unique just like she did with BDay.
Couple of things…
Beyonce needs to grow as an artist. There’s no artistic growth between songs/album. Lady GaGa for instance took a big leap between her first album and this current album. She took a huge artistic risk – many did not like it but she did it anyway. Beyonce needs to step away from FORMULA and do something totally different. Working with producers like Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Red One, Rico Love, AfroJack would do the trick.
I think what hurt “4” more than anything were the videos. The constant stealing, or in Beyonce’s words “Inspiration” caught up with her, and people called her out on it in a very vocal way. From her Billboard performance, to the “Countdown” video, the concepts were either copied or “inspired” and the buying audience started to question her ARTISTIC INTEGRITY.
I also think record label politics played a big deal in all of this. Sony/Columbia had a SMASH with Adele’s “21” and more than likely put their promotional weight (dollars) behind it. They probably didn’t cut Beyonce a big enough budget for “4” and why should they? Adele deserved that number one spot. She sold more, she did more so the promo money went behind her effort.
Beyonce needs to be a VISIONARY with her music and her style. Comeback in a year with an artistically forward album, change your style – do something that will shock the masses and take industry by storm.
Madonna’s IC and Janet’s Control were before the days of illegal downloads and leaks. No one including Janet and Madonna is going to sell like that anymore (except Adele I guess). As for Bey, she can do whatever she wants. I’m still enjoying ‘4’
I think Bey took the brave role with this last album “4”. Her album tracks sound nothing like anything else on the radio right now. I think Beyonce should just do Beyonce and not try to jack anyone elses vibe. However, if she wants more radio play and a popish sound then she should enlist more tracks with cameos . Just don’t lose substance.
Who cares about this flop H**?? She’s washed up.
Rihanna ENDED her career 🙂
@girrrl LMFAO!!! J.Cole is a big star???? N therez slow mid and fast tempo songs on 21??? PLEEEEEAAAAASEEEE!!!!! Try again! Epic Fail!!!!
Beyoncé isn’t a new artist. She isn’t competing with these young girls on the charts. She’s been there & done that. She’s being more genuine to her art now and creating what she wants as a true artist should. Who cares about award shows & sales. Let all those bubblegum/sell your soul/no substance poptart singers (Rihanna/Katy Perry/Lady GaGa) do that. She’s in a new lane now & she doesn’t need regular people (meaning non-artists) telling her what to do with her music. Show some respect.
Again ,my point was/is that Beyonce’s execution of R n B that is the problem. 1 +1 was not a good bluesy R n B song. The style of R n B is valid . Beyonce’s execution of the style is lacking at the songwriting level . RTW did not leave room for a melody as the track was very rhythmic . She need to pic beats that leave room for chords and melodies.
@pucci
what has beyonce contributed to pop culture? stealing ideas? pop your p****? how to change a weave as fast as you can?
and to the point with britney – i did not meant her mistakes per se as identifiable… i meant the fact that brit made mistakes as everyone else does…
beyonce seems like a robot…she has no real emotions, no story…at least not as noticeable…
i like beyonce to a certain point (as a singer and performer) but i can’t accept her as an icon if she won’t come with own ideas and concepts…when was the last era she did not have accusations of stealing somebody else’s ideas? beyonce is lacking that story a tina, michael, madonna and britney has…
who is beyonce?
I believe Beyoncè with this album missed the marketing and promotions from her… When she came out with her other albums she was all over the place advertising and promoting but she’s pregnant so I understand the absence of her. But there is no one who can promote her stuff better than her… she brings anything she do to life… However I feel the next album that Bey does should change a little bit.. subject wise… instead of focusing on so much love she shud do more songs like run the world… Diva.. ego.. end of time… Baby boy.. video phone.. The video concepts and stuff.. she shud do a big production like thriller was.. and videos like remember the time by Michael Jackson.. mixed with the concept of if I were a boy.. songs and videos like sweet dreams.. I think Beyoncè song choices are generally good.. she needs to do another I am sasha fierce but make it a big production and make some epic dance moves and videos.. it wud be the best if she make a mini movie.. the next album should be a dance up-tempo album… Songs with aggression like ring the alarm.. songs that show a different side of her… With marketing.. its no limit.. I wud have deals with every retail outlet.. itunes.. amazon.. and even YouTube and vevo… Radio specials and tv offers.. she make physical appearance and interviews to all major tv shows and more meet and greets during the release week.. like she did at Target and stuff.. she shud just go all out and over the top.. I think run the world wud have been killer if she would made the song bout her the individual instead of about “girls”… In conclusion, her first single for the comeback shud be over the top dance song… Big production for the video like thriller. She could do it with End of Time. If she Jus come and kill it with a big over the top colorful video big production. And of course she have a few slow or more intimate songs n mix it up subject wise like songs like dear old nicki, man in the mirror, and other motivation songs.. and songs by the likes of Mariah Carey like hero, touch my body, for the record, and a real powerful ballad like I will always love you.. but I’m appreciative of all the work Beyoncè has done and will continue to be supportive but that’s what I would love to see from her personally. I love ya Bey.
Who wants to shy away from the fact that after X-factor performance Kelly Rowland still flopped. Sold only 3,000 copies and missed the TOP40 again.
When Bey starts flopping like kelly then i would worry in the mean time, lets see how many copies RIhanna would sell of TTT in the US in 6 mths. If she does’t go platinum in 6mths. RIhanna is a flop.
@WHUT :
guuuuurl , you have still them members of the hive ! i was dragging basic b****** who were shading rihanna while using a beyonce gravatar !!
gravatars doesn’t matter to me !! ask them ! i just liked this pose by her !! that’s it ! practically i got a lot of gravatars of every artist known to humanity 😆 , but that OFF topic !
and about the going iNNNN which i don’t understand , i simply said it ! i was clear and to the point ! and i didn’t tell her to stop RT them ! but i was saying a thought in my mind , is it a crime ?!
i love her and i want her to be a better artists and to satisfy her fans ! is that a crime ?!
and u can’t call me fake when i was stanning for her when RR was the joke of the moment back then !! i was here fighting for her ass back then , let’s not with this ” who’s stanning for rihanna ” game !
and please , after @yellow gorillah , i’m sure i was the next strongest rihanna stan TGJ ever seen ! LET’S NOT !! ask them i said !! @sam wasn’t post so much about rihanna till me ” and the rest of the navy members showed up , let’s take @lax and @cockiness for example ” u can ask them too !!
do nOT even start with if i was loyal to her ! it is an insult to even ask this question @whut 😉 !!
i still love rihanna , i think i said it above , but i won’t stan for her no more !!
*handles YOu my navy jacket * 😥 😥
4 jumped up over 20 spots on the UK charts – yes! all her albums are top 40 on the RnB charts
thats owing to A Night With Beyonce.
say what u may but if Bey had promoted 4, we wouldnt even have this post. this album more than her prev ones needed the extra push cus its not necessarily radio-friendly but it’s all good. its all part of life. i wait for her to come back and gives naysaying fairweather fans the middle finger!
@ Pop Royalty
Don’t listen to @Whut, what you said came out of true love and true concern. Rihanna was just being crabby about it, she probably was drunk or on her period or hadnt slept, or was doing drugs, or maybe she doesn’t want to hear the truth like her delusional stans. Stan 4 Bey she would have never done anything like that…smh @ calling you a c***, and unfollowing you, that had to really really hurt. Ciara did the same thing to the Skorpion and look where she is at now!
Your name is also now (year of the 4) tho….
Its cool tho your a cool person so I wont say all that I can. Do you babe.
@ROSA :
i swear i was nice with her , hell , she is my FAAAAAAAV !!
HOW I CAN BE RUDE WITH HER ?! i was so nice and u know it is rare for me to be nice , but hey , she’s RIRI ! my LOVE !
but i think everything gotta come to an end …..
anyway , i found what i want in beyonce right now , i don’t know if i’m gonna stan for adele , beyonce or GAGA ! i will take my tie to choose 😛
but i’m not gonna lie , adele is having my soul at the moment , and gaga activated my creative side , and beyonce , well , this one got the rest of my body !
but so bad my heart still with RIRI 😥 , and it is broken !!!
anyway :
how are u sweety 🙂 ?! <3
@WHUT :
i will still fight for her ” when needed” 😉
but i really don’t even dislike her , let alone hate her ! so i’m so cool with her and her navy ! i can’t just erase 6 years stanning for her that easy !
i’m in a METASTABLE phase now ! it was a shock for me !
but anyway , you are nice and i like you cuz you are a great rihanna stan ! but take my advice :
do not touch her twitter page 😆 😆 😆 !!
BTW ‘4’ is Beyoncé’s best album so far. Her albums only get better & better. Her next one will be even better. This new generation of fans don’t respect real music anymore. They have no clue actually. Beyoncé is an artist on substance. We will be listening to her songs forever. Everyone else will fade away. Look at her catalog of music! Albums like ‘Dangerously In Love’, ‘B’Day’, ‘I Am…’, ‘Sasha Fierce’, & ‘4’! No nobody else is as diverse & creative as this woman. Who else can pull off singing songs like “Ave Maria” “If I Were A Boy” “Halo” “1+1” “I Care” “Rather Die Young” “Scared Of Lonely” “Resentment” “Irreplaceble” (all of those songs have AMAZING vocal performance) & still switch it up & perform songs like “Crazy In Love” “Naughty Girl” “Baby Boy” “Freakum Dress” “Deja Vu” “Get Me Bodied” “Green Light” “Single Ladies” “Diva” “Sweet Dreams” “Videophone” “Ego” “Why Don’t You Love Me” “End Of Time” “Countdown” “Party” “Love On Top” & “Run The World (Girls)”?! Are you guys serious! Not to mention she was the lead singer of the Greatest Female group EVER! Destiny’s Child & she wrote all of there songs! “No No No” “Bills Bills Bills” “Say My Name” “Jumpin Jumpin” “Independent Women” “Survivor” “Bootylicious” “Lose My Breath” “Soldier” “Cater 2 U”! At this point it’s not even about STANS or SALES. It’s about giving CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE! These new girls are NO WHERE NEAR Beyoncé’s level. 16 well deserved Grammy’s! I didn’t even name her sold out tours, Endorsements, movies, philanthropy, & historic award show performances! You young kids need to GET A CLUE!
Calling attention to the Rihanna Stans as you can see for your self, one of your vary own @Pop Royalty( Year of the 4) formely known as the R****** @Flop Royalty (Rude Boy) has seen the light opposed to the treacherous and cloudy as Rihanna Rain. He know longer stans for Ri Ri and neither should you! Now you to can find your way out of the broke as Navy with its sinking ships and horrible navigation. Stanning for Rihanna is not hot, being loyal to Rihanna is not cool! When you try to give her a helpful hint she will call you a c*** and unfollow you…This is a lesson to be learn for all…I to love Rihanna but will never stan for her, because she is lazy and uncommitted to her craft and you are a fool to believe otherwise.
@BEY’knight :
can u just RETIRE numbers and keep it about the music ! if beyonce said t in her “year of 4” and you are her STAN , then do IT !!
the point is :
“4” is not doing as it was expected ! good or bad ! it is not doing it !
so can u agree on this point and change the topic ?! or even get back to the original topic ?!!
beyonce is great
rihanna is great
adele is great
gaga is great
britney is great
NOTHING WILL CHNAGE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DOING GREAT ! beside numbers and all !
just to make it clear !
STAY ON TOPIC !! 😉
@KINGPHONIX :
do not START IT !
i still LOVE rihanna and being with the navy or not won’t stop me from dragging your ass !
and yes , with that beyonce gravatar ! just to show you the meaning of RETARDATION !! 😆
rihanna is great
TTT is doing magic
and u r pressed 😆
i know she was tired ! i will D’m her tomorrow and i will tell u what’s happened 😉
stay tuned h** 🙂
@FLIP-FLOP Royalty (Year of the Poor)
LMFAO Did i Hurt your feelings boo? And dont start with me, because you could never drag me babe, ever! I throw more shade than the Rihanna Rains cloudy as forecast
And Good luck with Ri Ri hiting you back, i cant wait to find out how she has read the your broke as again.
Coming on here here crying about how Rihanna dissed you because your a pressed ass Rihject and now you mad at me because im telling the truth…B****** be trippin
First I must say that “4” was a very great album and she really need to follow that trend but include a better vision of R&B adult like her “1+1” “Dance for you” “I Care” “Start Over” & “I Miss You” sounds but also to include “Love On Top” “Countdown” “Schoolin Life” & “Party” but remembering that now she’s 30 years of age and not still the 20 years old who was lock pop and dropping it like its hot all over the place. Now being a grown adult (30yrs old) married and now have a child her sound/music should now reflect that 100%. I also agree with not letting Dream do her whole album. Also being that “ICONIC” person that you are, it’s time now that all your music/sound/video should be of such and not taken from other that may have inspired. It should now come from a place of your own experiences that you solely have gone through /face. Again I believe “4” is one of your most critical acclaim album yet from you but sadly you weren’t able to promote it fully because of pregnancy. Also in managing yourself it won’t hurt to have a team around you that want to achieve the best of the best and contiune to help you remain at the top in you field.
@ TY TY Truth spoken well and yes I do believe it’s the younger generation that’s always complaning and really have no ideal of what Beyonce’s catalog ready is.
@king :
i told u stay tuned !
Be patient H** !
and puh-lease , i saw your shade ! even @jamir got a better way of shadding others than you !
(year of the poor) <— is that all of what u got ?!!
now i know i can be a better bey stan than you any day ! but wait for it !!
and i didn't say you lied ! actually you didn't say anything new ! yes she's unfollowing her fans now , esp the rebellious ONES " according to her" ! i do not create LIES here , i told u she doing it now in public ! she's not ashamed anymore now !
so what ?!
but she's human and may be she had a bad day , i do not know ! i said what happened and that i won't e a stan !
so ……
do not be dramatic ! hate on her all you want , no one give a flying s*** about your existence , let alone about your opinion about her ! so do not use me to attack her ! that's no bueno !! 😉
and what rain and clouds you speak about ?!! 😆
@HEARTSPOKENTRUTH These young kids need to watch this video so they will know where she came from:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eApQOZdYvNo
@POP ROYALTY
u cant dm her if she blocked u lol.. she cant even see your tweets anymore lol
and im not a stan for anybody, i hate that word and what it represents
@xxx
You speak as if she’s a new artist or something who still has something left fo prove? She really doesn’t. And let’s not go there with the p**** popping becasue Britney is no innocent when it comes to that. The girl has not had a classy performance since she premiered. She’s been in the game just as long as Beyonce & years later still has much prove AGAIN to the public. Beyonce has yet to have a major scandal effect her life, can’s say the same for Brit. If that makes you feel like you know who Britney is & therefore makes her an ICON over Beyonce then more power to you & her but I strongley disagree.
To question who Beyonce is 15 years later is so irrelevant & seems like a cope out in argument to prove Britney. NOthing is new under the sun, not even Brit, if you really want to go there she reminds me of Madonna, with her shock tactics & all. Beyonce doesn’t need that to perform, b******* & stats aside she has her talent & performance skills to define who she is an artist whereas Britney doesn’t. That’s who Beyonce is.
She doesn’t need to be getting beat by her husband or boyfriend (no disrespect to Tina or Rihanna), be accused raping young kids (no disrespect to MJ), or shave her head & do drugs for her to be identafiable to ppl? Its like you’re missing the music part about it. She makes great music & at the end of the day thats all you need as ICON.

POP ROYALTY ( YEAR OF 4 )
December 11, 2011 at 3:10 pm
kii .. all them excuses 7 years stop it! if u a re tired, rest your back, soak your feet, do whatever u dont go cussing people out on twitter besides, this is not a first with Rih and it wont be a last, she’s always been super-defensive. thats why people have fun hating on her cus they know it gets to her. she be gettin into twitter fits with fans and haters like a lousy commoner. hark!
“4” is going up on the UK charts, and countdown is number 1 on Billboards dance charts. This album is just going off very SLOW…. But when beyonce gives birth in a few weeks her album is going to climb up, after maternity leave she’ll get back on her GRIND and properly promote.
ASIB-next year
5th album by early 2013.
Tour-2013
2 million WW
Beyoncè with this era.. isn’t and wasn’t reaching to be bigger.. she just wanted to do what she wanted to do.. mix all the things she love and share it with her fans.. her true fans.. of course she wants the world to love it but she did it for her.. not to gain more success than what she already has… So the fact that her album didn’t do as the others, she also didn’t strive for it to do better… She isn’t really promoting it.. she’s enjoying life.. I wud appreciate her to do more songs like dreaming… I’m alone now, forever to bleed, Roc, Slow Love, and Back Up, and other unreleased songs she recorded.. a song that Beyoncè’s vocals wud be good for is Melanie Feona’s song “4am”.. she did an outstanding job with it but Beyoncè wud take it to another level… With the way she emotes
Are we forgetting that for an album that leaked 3 weeks before it was released (no disrespect to Rihanna) but it still sold more than TTT in its first week.
@BEY’knight :
UGH … you are right though after all bro 😳
she even began to abandon her fans and take some time to her haters who ” professionally” know how to p*** her OFF like DAMN ! just call her a devil worshipper and u will find a volcano in your face 😆
but she did not BLock me , just just unfollowed me ! maybe i’m special to her , cuz she did really blocked some of her navy , who were friends with me ! for the same reason i mentioned above !! they were in a deep shock !
just imagine beyonce came to you , slapped u on the face , and then flipped her hair and left the scene !!
LMFAO !
it is all some childish s*** if u asked me !!!
i hate the word STAN too #bingo ! 😉
moving ON …

@FLOP ROYALTY
Never did i once ask you about my shading techniques i know i’m killing you and the rest of these Rihanna stan heauxs, thats the problem when you say you stan for anybody…you choose their identity over your own. All joking aside i really do feel bad that someone who you idolize disrespected you when you care about her so much and she has shown you that she doesn’t care at all. I too like BEY’KNIGT am not a stan because i’ll be damn if i stalk anybody, i am however a super Beyonce fan, and i cannot help but laugh at the haters. I don’t hate on Rihanna, i have said it numerous times that i love Rihanna but i do not like the fact that her stans hate on Beyonce when Beyonce is simply better its not her fault that she actually loves and cherishes her talent. I also dislike that Rihanna stans hype her up to be something she is not. And the clouds and the rain pertain to the fact that she can’t get a number one album, her performances are horrible, more than half of her albums are poor sellers, she has a horrible mind for business, she is drinking and partying her career away, TTT is not nearly as good as it could be, and she obviously dosent care. Case in point her calling you a c*** when you were trying to help. Good luck with D’ming someone who has unfollowed you like i said i’ll be waiting to hear back.lol…i guess you didn’t catch that shade did you.
These kids need to do there research!

I feel as though B should keep pushing “4” until maybe June, I feel as though “4” will be nominated for album of the year in 2012…oh and the next time she sings “I Miss You” she needs to go into Marvin Gaye’s “Distant Lover”
@ Pop
I recognized Rihanna is sometimes really harsh on Twitter. Maybe she needs a little rest. Would you add her, after you’ve moved on?
Even though your heart is broken, you still got me 😉
I’ve been a huge Beyoncé fan since ’03. I like Gaga’s music, but I just can’t get into Adele. I love me some Britney too. I’m just not into that mainstream music *shrug
@AUNTIE JACKIE
Ido want the best for her,whoever is her manager matthew or anyone else.But Bey stans are so blind by this “B cant do no wrong minset” that they cant blame her or point the fact that Matthew’s departure has been an horrible decision and big mistakes.
Beyonce’s father,bey’s husband are not for being snaky evilish persons so maybe she is paying for their mistakes :karma ? I DONT KNOW but l dont want matthew to fix what jay’s broke.He pushed her to the top,look how she thanks her 😕
BEYONCE DON’T NEED TO DO NOTHING BESIDES BEING BEYONCE…
I DO THINK A ROCK POP KINDA LP WOULD BE HOT
I love how virtually no one is listing songs lol.
@SAY NO TO DRUGS
Beyonce “4” album will be nominated for 2013 Grammy awards.
Alot of albums from early 2010 and late 2010 were nominated.
Eminem wasn’t even nominated for best rap album, recovery was released last June. 🙁
He had number 1’s on that album—–but 2013 he will be nominated.
I figured they didn’t want adele and beyonce to compete……. because you know adele will slay…..
Adele would of won over Beyonce……… In 2013 Beyonce, Eminem, Mariah Carey will be nominated
@Pop Royalty
GURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLL
………….http://i.imgur.com/90OVx.gif
Rock/Pop will her live BAND will SLAY. She’s at a different level. She should go the Tina Tuner/Prince route……. THAT will definitely be GREAT 🙂
I don’t want to lists songs because she needs something like freakum dress live was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The electric guitar at the beginning wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce voice matched Alanis “You Oughta Know” she sounded so good.
Alanis stated that she loved Beyonce’s version.
I think Bey needs to take some time off and find her creative side. Bey needs something to talk about, especially something that females can relate to and social issues. I feel like she has talked about everything in her songs like being s*** and holding it for her man and if she comes out with another album in 2012, I don’t think ppl will take Bey nor her music seriously. She’s gonna be a new mom and I think she doesn’t need come back acting all SASHA FIERCE-ISH and popping her coochy all over the stage again. Acting like Sasha will make Bey look tacky because of her age, being a wife, and a new mom. All of that could really backfire against her, so I think she should really take her time with this 5th album, but I doubt it and will come out with a bunch of s***** songs that will be all about s**.
@Jordan
There’s no need to list songs… This post is uncalled for & all the comments make Beyocne seem like she’s only sold 300K so far. She sold that in her first week and the album has done so much better since then. Ppl are basing this off of singles & you shouldn’t. At the end of the day a hit single does not always mean a GREAT album. Look at Rihanna, while WFL was a major success & a good song, the album left much to be desired.
@The Great Lacefront
Rihanna didn’t destory anything.
@POP ..Since she was following u in the first place that means u were a special or close fan to her…and when u sed what u sed to her u sounded as if u ddnt appreciate the work she has been doing…she feels that she has grown…and she has..but she wants to do it at her own pace…which is y she sed she’s just livin her life( I hope u werent offended by her callin u a C***…cuz she says that a lot u know)….she’s working tremendously hard….as u can see she’s about a step away from passing out…like @WHUT sed ur still cool….but whatever, do what u want..
LOL at Rihanna’s most mouthy Stans turning there back on her while Talk that Talk is flopping as we speak, I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN,
ANYWAY!!!!!
I want Beyonce to grow. If she tries some new vocal skills and become inspired by other things than what she usually sings about she could be on to something. She actual has a VOICE like Gaga and Adele, and unlike the harsh awful vocals of Katy and Rihanna. With good inspiration and a NEW TEAM to help her evolve Beyonce can come back very strong and believe it is possible for her but some tough decisions will need to be made by her. Unfortunately this is what many people expected with 4 and she dropped the ball big time, but maybe this will teach her a lesson and she will kick it up a notch after she gives birth to a healthy baby, spends some time with her child and family, get in shape, get a new team, and just start fresh. I wish her the best 😀

Don’t Blame “4″ on R N B !! She did that with B’day when it struggled until it was saved by Irreplaceable . Beyonce needs better songwriting. She need to work with Drake, salaam remi, and finally bring in good songwriters

for every r and b song u find on 4, you can find just as many on any of her other solo albums…so bury that excuse………i think she just thought her name was big enough to not have to follow the current dance/pop trend…but she found out differently……

bEEHIVE ND kAT D fan had valid points as well
@POP,,,, I Will miss you as a team player and i don’t do twitter nor fb and just remember to have fun thats what it’s all about to me. I will never lose sleep over getting shut out, closed down or getting my ass cussed out on the net, never life is to dang short for that. Rember that song where it says to love the one you or with and keep having fun with it, love.
The problem with 4 was (i say was because the album is DONE) the problem was 30% material 70% promotion. We all know the DISASTROUS promotion for it. The material:
The album could have been FLAWLESS if these changes were made:
The tracklisting. The tracklisting is ghastly. The first song Beyonce wails about how much she loves her man and the second song she doesn’t think he cares for her. There’s no story, it’s just badly sequenced. and it slows the album and bores the listener. The songs “Start Over, and “Rather Die Young” should have been bonus tracks and Lay Up Under Me should have been included, as well as another dance song ala End of Time. Here’s how the tracklisting should have gone:
End of Time
Party
Best Thing I Never Had
I Care
Run The World
Countdown
Lay Up Under Me
1+1
[DANCE SONG]
I Miss You
Love On Top
I Was Here
AS WELL, Here’s how the singles should have gone:
1 End of Time
2 Party
3 Best Thing I Never Had
4 I Miss You
5 Love on Top
I think Countdown, after a few successful singles could have been released, but its hard to say since it bombed so badly on radio
@Jenny I hate to say it, but I agree with you. I feel that 2012 will be an interesting year becuz I beleive it will be year of comebacks for some of these females artists who are dropping an album in 2012. Artists such as: Madonna, Brandy, Monica, Gwen Stephani w/ No Doubt, LiL Kim, Eve, Missy Elliot, Ciara, Christina Aguilera, Christina Milian, Keyshia Cole and possible albums from Lauryn Hill and Janet Jackson and many other female arists are coming out next year and will probably talk about their personal and professional stories that they struggled with in the public eye and women will relate to these artists. It’s gonna be like return of the Lillyith Fair or something. This is why I think Beyonce needs a storyline, she needs something more passionate and true.
Really? OMG if she decide to work with this notalented Drake i stop buying her album
Drake is everything but not talend
When she does ‘a star is born’ she shud do a soundtrack album that is also her 5th studio album. it will be a change. she NEEDS a defining ballad much better than listen and i was here, that will reali show her vocal ability .
NO MORE FEMALE EMPOWERMENT SONGS PLEASE (or if u do don’t release it as a single)
1. whitney – i will always love u (FIRST SINGLE – something lik this song will show her vocal ability like she proves wen she sings live)
2. adele – someone like you
3. beyonce – crazy in love (something similar)
4. rihanna – we found love
5. Beyonce – Halo (something accoustic like version with chris martin)
6. Beyonce – Smash into you
7. Kelly rowland – motivation
8. David guetta ft Usher – without u
9. Beyonce – Schoolin life (or just release that off 4 seein as everything else was pretty much released)
10. Katy perry – ET
11. Michael jackson – thriller (with a major ass production, dance routine)
12. Celine dion – Because you loved me
I will always luv u 1st single, then someone like u 2nd, crazy in love 3rd (remixed with a huge global commerical rapper), michael jacko thriller (long choreography/story video), katy perry ET as 5th, rihanna we found love as 6th …. & bey has potential of 6 #1s and 1 epic ass album!!
promotion: b4 releasing album release whitney i will always love u promote it as much as poss on tv and radio.
THEN
release album with 2nd single. do a documentary b4 the album release week on biggest tv channels in UK/USA/ASIA/AUSTRALIA etc on ur life at the min, about the album, and main focus on the 2nd single and 1st single. release after doin a huge performance on VMA’s, BET’s, grammys, whatever the award show is. do as much tv interviews as poss; elleen, alan carr chatty man, the view, loose women, gma, etc etc etc. take time with each video, AND do gr8 videos such as RTW
She’ll be alright anyway
Beyonce is at a point in her career where she no longer cares about album sales! She does her!!!! “4” is the album that she always wanted to make and she did it! It will be platinum by the end of the year, so don’t worry!
The reason why “4” didn’t do as well as her other albums was PROMOTION! She didn’t have a SOLID HIT SINGLE like she did on her prior albums! It seemed like she released a bunch of random hot songs and didn’t promote them individually. Sure she had tours and TV performances, but she didn’t have that FIYAH single like she usually does; (i.e. “Crazy In Love,” “Irreplaceable,” “If I Were A Boy,” “Single Ladies). 4 is an AWESOME album and critically acclaimed. I believe it is the best of her career.
I for one am GLAAAAAAAAAADDDD that Beyonce didn’t want to take the safe dance route. Dance music will do well on the charts, but will it make people buy your albums? Nope!!!!!
Beyonce is an icon. The end.
The only problem with four was the promotion and organization. The music was great, she just did not present it well. I would have scrapped “Who run the world”, and did EOT first. This is her first time as her own manager so I’m sure she has learned. She sold well in the beginning, she just had no singles to keep it going. We seen how when she performed it sparked more sales.
She had “dreaming” which was only released in Japan, that was really a good song. “Forever to bleed”, “waiting”, “slow love”, “Roc” she has great songs that have not been released. Even that song she did with MJB was great. She just has to organize it better. They had a damn two year run for ‘4’ to be promoted, and that all was killed by Run the world being a bad starter. She knew it was, but she took a chance, and we have to respect that.
This is a joke right!, (NOTICE) TGJ just make this with Beyonce, free promo, thats what i call (ASS LICKING). Or maybe is all true and Beyonce’s team pays this site to has some ideas for her next album, but let me tell you, this is just a bad thing.
People can call beyonce a flop all they want, but all stars including MJ and Prince had a time when their music was not good at all!
I dont want beyonce to follow Rihanna step because with her and gaga they are doing too much in short space of time. They are doing what Madonna has done in 10 years. When people look back at their career, they are at high risk of not being taken seriously!
Plus, people will get tired of being “shocked” as one poster put it! With gaga, she has her vocal and writing skills to fall back on whereas Rihanna has nothing. Being s*** and using gimmick will only last for so long!
If Rihanna chooses to do another album with yet another hair cut, people will be like enough already! She has run out of ideas, since she has that stupid wig on that makes look like a tart! There few songs in her current album that will make it in the chart! we found love was “in” music, hence why chris brown will also sucessful with “beautiful people”. But dance music like RnB will have its time! The question is whether Rihanna will be taken seriously after she takes a long break?
She has two options: run the risk of being disliked by releasing album each year! Rihanna releasing albums every six mouth has become a joke! OR take a long break, at risk of being forgotten?
Beyonce has to be herself, being “it” and follow the current trend will not make you a legend or ironic! She has to stay true to herself, have some REAL inspiration! write her own songs! When beyonce has been successful, some of her music were microwable rubbish whilst other were classic! She needs stick to her current image but change direction with music whilst still being herself!
With Rihanna, most of her music are mocrowable rubbish! I cant honestly think of any classic, nor can I can rate her performance as outstanding!
With gaga, some of her music are rubbish, but she does have some classic like bad romance. Once she realises that gimmicks is getting a bit triedsome then she will taken seriously and might be ironic! This is my honest answer!
I think beyonce needs stay true to herself, strip back, showcase your vocals AFTER a long break! not come back a year later trying to “shock” people because we have two people (rihanna and gaga) who are “shocking” people to death now!

^^^^^ THEY MAD AT RIHANNA GAME !!!!!
As a dedicated and loyal Beyonce fan this is my honest opinion…!
1) Beyonce started out in the 90s and in that era RnB was very influential therefore overtime she has stayed in that routine of classic RnB diva mode, unfortunately coming into the mordern day she still has brought that classic edge but she can’t keep up now with the fresh style eg:Rihanna. I think that with ‘4’ she purposely went for a more soulful richer sound but in my opinion I think this was the wrong time for it, at present it’s all about uptempo hot dancefloor hits and especially because she took a year off before she released ‘4’ she should of come back fiercer than ever showing everyone whos boss, but she went completely opposite bringing out something that’s not hot ATM, but regarding ‘4’ I think the only track that made a fresh fierce sound was End Of Time, that was the only song or uptempo song on the album that could of had a No1 potential, and to make it worse she dident even bring a video out for it, even though it was the freshest song on the album
Conclusion:
Beyonce has no problem with bringing it! She simply needs to get that fresh sound and her timing right, I think she should of returned with a album of modern fierceness that Beyonce always brings!
Is this really an argument/question. 4 was her most courageous statement she ever shared. I think this was a solid cd, nothing on this album matched any songs she ever did. The problem was not B or her songs, the problem is the general public. Everywhere you are, you hear Rihanna, Katy, Gaga, etc. They all sound the same! More power to you ladies, sell those albums get your #1’s but this won’t last forever, just like this bubblegum pop music is IT rite now, doesn’t mean it will be even as soon as next year!
I do think this promotion was horrible! It seemed as if she ran through the whole album and ddnt focus on the single’s she should have. I see where she was trying to go w/ rtw. But she could’ve saved that for a later release. I dnt think this was bey’s fault. You guys kill me wen yu ask for a diff sound, more r&b, etc… N then don’t support it wen she gives it to you. 4 was everything yu ppl were asking for during the iasf era. Smh
R&B is dead and burried for radios. Just take a look at Billboard! R&B songs struggle to chart on the main chart. Kelly Rowland’s Motivation was one of the biggest R&B hits of this year, but it didn’t even hit the top 10. Today radios are dominated with dance, europop, eletronic songs. United States used to have a good relationship with R&B, but this relationship is gone. If even USA’s radios haven’t been playing R&B songs anymore, so there is no room for it internationally.
“4” is a old-school R&B album. It isn’t the easiest album to promote and sell these days. Some people will bring up Adele’s massive success, but Beyoncé isn’t Adele. No matter how hard Beyoncé tries, general public will ser her as pop star. Beyoncé’s target audience is the same as Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney and every other pop star. The only difference is Beyoncé has got a big support of urban community. Adele’s target audience is adult comteporany, and honestly she had luck to crossover it.
To top it off, there was no strategy behind her singles. It felt like as if she thought “Let me see what will happen if I release this as a single…”
I have a love/hate relationship with “Girls”, but I’m pretty sure it was one of the biggest mistake she has done on her career. It’s an agressive track, R&B/urban, overused sample, non-radio friendly. Everything was pointing it to fail, and it did.
“Best” was definetly the best follow up for Girls. It’s a good song and it did well.”Countdown” was a terrible choice too. It is way more friendly than “Girls”, but it isn’t friendly enough for radios. I could see “Countdown” and “Girls” being hits only in the 80’s. It should’ve released ONLY if “RTW” had turned into a massive hit. “Party” did great and was released at the right time.
“End Of Time” should’ve been the lead single. Unfortunately, it’s just too late to release it now. It was the “Irreplaceable” of this era.
Summing it up. Beyoncé released a non-commercial album (for these current music situation), supported by non-radio friendly singles. No one would have the power to make it successful.
For the next era, she should play safe:
I) Beyoncé should repeat the concept of IASF, releasing an urban and pop songs, so she would appeal both sides of her fanbase.
II) She should team up with the hottest producers and record the catchies songs. Most of producers of “4” haven’t had Top 10 hit for years. 4’s major producer of it, The Dream’s, last hit was “Single Ladies” and it was released 3 years ago.
III) She should spend more money on her music videos. Honestly, they all have been looking the same since IASF (bar RTW). Quality over quantity. She should call Jake Nava (Crazy In Love, Naughty Girl, Boy) to make her videos. They’re the best together. And we know she has money to afford it.
IV) She should do a worldwide promo. Go to Germany, Japan, UK, US, France. She should do some inteviews on radios, call them, do some promo, etc. A good relationship with radios is really important.
V) Release better singles. Singles are the key to have longevity on the charts. Singles are actually what sell albums. A performance can boost an album sales for 1 to 2 weeks, but singles can promote an album for months.
Oh my goodness you people on here talk so reckless on Beyonce. Beyonce doesnt need to do any damn thing. Lol. She can make whateva type of music she wants, it doesnt have to sell. Yall claiming she cares about album sells, which is not true, if that were true she would twitter, facebook and all that ish.. Bey is old fashioned and just loves to make good music, and showcase her craft. 4 actually did well, WHERE DID IT FLOP? Leave that woman and her career, husband and baby alone. She still the baddest, and gon always be the baddest DEAL!
@Gilberto I agree with you on some parts but really Bey needs to really get into promoting the songs like she did on DIL like @curtains said if she would of promoted RTW it would of been a hit…remember she was in paris when it came out and she only performed it on a few national shows she didn’t promote it well at all that was the problem, its not because RnB is dead because its not….if she goes the euro route with her album she will fall under the same fire Xina did with her album being a lady gaga copycat…..
I don’t think beyonce tried to copy adele’s sound at all she is originally a RnB singer and she began to go pop on the 3rd destiny’s child album, then went back to rnb with DIL and Bday. I feel like Beyonce should not play it safe for the next album at all, the way she road these tracks on 4 is amazing these are timeless hits all she needed was the right promotion promote each single to the fullest, I think she should get some ofthe producers from bday again because people love a beyonce dance track, and she needs to get with Frank ocean again for some of her rnb songs, and ester dean as well…..she does need to up grade her videos she needs to get with whoever did rihannas/Britney videos as off lately and she needs to change up the style a lil not to much but a enough to separate her from her previous eras (Iike her look she had in RTW how she looked more edgy for the look wise and maybe be more edgy glam like Rihanna/ dirty money was fashion wise not as far as them tho because some times they went to far) but thats what i would do and i think she needs….
It’s a damn shame that most of her stans keep saying she does not need to do anything, then you suggest that she works with these auto tune producers! Her problem is, is that she has hit a bump in the road in her career! You cannot keep doing the same thing and get different results! We are about to enter the year 2012, and you people keep acting like this pop s*** is going to stay around for good! It has reached it’s peak , an now starting to fall off! Beyonce needs to take a few years off, not 9 months, pretending it to be a year, she needs to go away, raise her baby, find a whole completely different sound, beyond this robot s***!! People grow tired of you when you keep pushing the same s*** , then having this entitlement like you are the best, and no one is better than you! This woman always makes herself look stupid, look disparate, and then sad part her fans can’t even be real enough to tell her to sit her ass down! They always try to make her more than, what she is! I don’t buy or listen to her music! So I can be real with this!!! She needs to write lyrics and content of a woman her age, and get off this ego, alter ego s***! She needs to work with writers from back in the day, really make music that is all hers, and stop following treads! To be real, she needs to grow up, and mature a lil, cuz a woman your age need to be off that party, im bad s***! You stans are not going to be happy until all America shows you that, you are not the only ones that listen to music! So for her to keep trying to come out with a album, after this flop! To me her brains are not working to well! She really thinks she can just be like, you have to love me weather you like it or not! No b**** we want you to just go the f*** away, longer than a year! Plus there is going to come a time, when it’s just not her time to shine anymore!! And I really believe that if she would just humble herself, take a look at where her life is, then maybe people would embrace her, beyond the black audience! You stans are going to be the fall of her! It’s your fault she flopped, it’s your fault that she is not liked by the public! You the ones that control her, by constantly saying she the best! Cuz if she had real fans, they would tell her to sit the f*** down an chill! If she is such a b****, a b**** can chill, come back, and still kill them game!!! So you stans have the time of your life with her now, cuz soon, very soon, no one will even utter her name! The time is coming for new people to come out, better singers, better talnet, just watch!!!

Can lock the thread Samantha Nu said it all.
Attn: This is from a true Fan and supporter of Beyonce. I refuse to list songs nor compare her to any current artist b/c there’s no need. Gaga, Adele and Rihanna all have their places and rightfully so. Bey has taken hold of becoming the MJ of our time. Note: she will never BE Mj.. But for our generation, that is the status she’s obtaining. Unlike any other artist I’ve followed this woman shows obvious and steady growth vocally!!! Her music itsself has evolved a GREAT deal and “4” marks as her best work. I don’t think she needs to do anything different musically. This album was lyrically satisfying. The production was awesome and it was very balanced. What Bey is known for is following her heart and I commend her for that. Don’t share too much personal info w/ fans but still stay connected. Don’t allow yourself to be an artist puppeted by your fans. Produce art and let those who it connect with it, follow. However, I do think it’s time to stop turning the deaf ear to the critiques about her needing to show how truly creative she is. As of now that’s her only fault. Not trusting her self completly is what stopped “4” from being all it could be. GRTW was the starter. Much like what DONNA KARAN said.. B/c Bey is now getting the attn that a legend gets before their official approval, ppl are judging her every move. Ppl are holding her to the word ‘artist’ and is now expecting her to truly create. Although GRTW was an awesome rendition of Pon de floor it did leave a horrible stench in ppl’s mouth. I was socked at how hard ppl judged her but they expected something #classic Bey but with a new twist. I.e Crazy Love ( exactly what you think of when u think Bey.. Dance worthy, high energy but it was a different from anything you heard at the time). Same thing with her leading single off B. Day & Sasha. GRTW was a different soung but I was an old track. I think Bey didn’t realized how high of a regard ppl held her to. And with the rise of GaGa pushing the creativity envolope ppl honestly wanted Bey to show her and everybody who dobuts her creative ability. So the response she got from GRTW was tough love. Inspight of the video for it being 5*. That video was so well done but ppl will never be able to truely appreciate it b/c they were so angry she sample a current, popular track. Sounds petty huh? Well, ppl only seriously doubt her creativity and GRTW wasn’t original and what the world wants from King B before they officially name her the Mj of our time is orginality. EOT has epic potential (lawd, that sound makes your float) if not more than any song on 4 and that song is one of those that got the least attn. Why? All through out “4’s”. Era Bey has been questioned about her inspiration. Countdown was the 2nd video that could have officially gave Bey her creativity clout. It capture the true essence of her but gave a new twist! ( I for the longest had been wanting her to fuse contemporary dance into one of her pieces and almost died when I saw she did!) That video had the potential to be her best!! But of course, there was dispute of creativity. Although the organization of marketing was a bit sloppy, just like in the past, Bey wud have won her over w/ her awesome performances and outstanding videos but her being questioned in the one thing that separates her from the rest killed it. Some may argue her voice is different from the rest but remember.. Although Bey probably could sing Adele out by an inch, I can be argue they are Equally good singers.. But it can’t be contest that any MAN or WOMAN alive right now can perform like King B! Nobody! Whether be on video or live. A strong 2nd is Gaga but thank God it’s in a totally different way. + although Gaga can sing she can’t roll on the floor and not miss a note like Bey. Sorry! So it’s time that Bey truly allow things to inspire and not use actual whole concepts from past works. Sit down and let the music spark images and visuals in her mind and the team she has. As a student who has taken choregraphy design class. My instructor would make us sit on the floor and listen to a track. Ask us what kind of objects popped into our minds then make us creat moves that mimic the shape and feel of that object. What was beatufiful about that was.. Even if two of us had the same object in mind..how that object was manifested through movement was individualized because it came from our own perspective. I said that to say.. It’s time for Bey and FRANK ass to start doing this. Doing it with her videos, and choregraphy! A large parotion of why we love Bey is because of her ability to sing better than anyone out now and to PERFORM like no other. No matter if Bey turns 60 we will always look for her to move. That’s why Adele or nobody else will ever replace her! She has the voice, looks, pressence and moves! It’s time for Bey to truly bring forth orginality through her works. The vocals, and music is always growing so we have no complaints but the visuals need help. Presve her trademarks such as: the hair whipping, fan, Jazz burlesque dance style, big moves but switch the up execution, intricacy and influences of her choreography. Basically, find dancer who actually went to school. Aal these streets dancers are becoming to trendy. That’s where Laurieann has them beat. That baby actually studied dance./smh. Time to get a real team Bey. Real film directors. Ppl who allow the concepts to speak directly to them not through the fram of someone from the past. Inspire means just that.. Not copying. I bet Bey learned her lesson this time around. Again, the music is dope although I may want to hear one track about world issues.. Just one, don’t over do it./lol
Well We All Know “4” Was A Flop Because Of The Dreadful Management, Terrible Promo, SMALL Budget, And Singles Were Released At The Wrong Time !
If Queen Bey Really Wants To SNATCH Wigs This ERA, She Better Switch Things Up ! I Mean I Feel She Should To Stick With R&B, And She Better Redefine The Genre & Shock Everyone, I Personally Think She Should Pick Up A Copy Of “One In A Million” Or “Aaliyah” Those Albums R&B Helped Redefine R&B They Also Had POP/Electro Influences And Were DEFINITIVELY Way Ahead Of Their Time. Beyonce Needs New. Young, Fresh & Cutting Edge Producers Also New Writers She Might Want To Pick Up Missy, Tim (They Can Write Some VERY Raw Lyrics Evident In Their Work With Liyah) And Pick Up Diane Warren For Power Ballads. This Album She Be Her MJ ” Thrilller ” Or Atlease Her Mariah “TEOM”
BEY WILL BE FINE! YOU WROTE ALL THAT S***, AND YOU STILL LOOK DUMB TRYING TO CONVINCE YOURSELF SHE’S A LEGEND! I LOOK AT HER VIDEOS FROM 1999 TO NOW, AND NOT ONE SONG, NOT EVEN THE DIL DAYS, WILL NOT BRING HER LEGENDARY STATUS! HATE TO BURST YOUR STAN BUBBLE, BUT LEGENDS NEVER DO THE S*** SHE DOES! WHAT “REAL” LEGEND HAS STOLEN FROM OTHER ARTIST, CALMING WORK AT THEIRS? WHAT REAL ARTIST HAS TO GET SUED 99 MUTHAFUCKIN TIMES TO GET THE POINT THAT, IF THE S*** IS NOT YOURS, DON’T F*** WITH IT, OR AT LEAST F****** ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT! MANY HAVE BEEN SUED BEFORE, BUT NOT LIKE HER. PLUS WHO IN THE HELL WILL BE LIKE SINGLE LADIES WAS THE S*** COME 2020?? CUZ BY THEN REAL MUSIC WILL BE ALREADY ESTABLISHED, MAKING BEYS MUSIC , SOUND LIKE SOME S*** FROM PBS!
Beyonce is a Legend and sometimes LEgends have their down fall. I wasn’t a big fan of “4” because its not what we excpet from someone like Beyonce! To me that album was a safe zone! It wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t that great. But since she found love and marriage and all this stuff, maybe that’s why “4” was so perfect for her in her life at that moment. She tried it and it back fired on her! Everyone’s always like omg Beyonce is so great..if she’s so great while didn’t you go buy her album or help her have at least 1 top ten single off this album?? Wait a minute…
She needs Sasha back!
Whateva! Beyonce needs to get back into Destinys Child!Why they frontin let Kelly, Lawd please have one major album with the next one and then DC reunion. A boy can dream can’t he.
4>Dangerously in Love>B’Day>I Am Sasha Fierce.
I do not care what anyone has to say 4 was FLAWLESS (with the exception of the horrid 1st single) and easily one of the BEST releases this year, and I would like for her to continue churning out the same QUALITY music and not cave under the pressure of trying to secure #1 singles. If there is one thing that I would like to see change it would have to be the QUALITY of her music video’s. I wan’t a video that I connect with, a video that makes me feel something, HER MUSIC>>>>>HER MUSIC VIDEO’s.
She can start with vocal lessons and by not stealing other writers, dancers, videographers work
Beyonce IS NOT a legend, please stop lying to yourselves. She is a superstar but not a legend. I have never heard any news, media, or magazine outlet refer to her as such; only you delusional fans
@RIHANNASTAN
YOU have the wrong artist, Rihanna needs to start with vocal lessons and dance lessons because you’re girl is the joke of the industry!! everyone in the industry including rock bands love beyonce, they ALL want to work with her…..so sit down!!!!!!!
Beyonce is an ICON, theres a differences between being an ICON and LEGEND……..
MJ is an Legend.
One of the things that made of the album “4” not be so popular like her other albums was the the low promotion. We gotta praise Bey taking for releasing as first single, Run the World (Girls), cuz’ the beat of this song is not something that we use to hear on the radio (in other words: it’s not “mainstream”), it still good song, but it’s not a “super-athem” like Crazy In Love or Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It). Bey should had released End of Time after the first single or as first single, cuz’ it’s the most potential song on this album, and this song could make the people acclaim Beyoncé again like she used to be on the oher albums. Other reason that, in a way, disturbed the promotion of the album was Beyoncé pregnancy, cause people paid more attention on her belly than in her talent as an artist. And most important of all: releasing many music videos and many singles just at once made the people get confused and gave the impression of Beyoncé being desperate to make success again.
Now the great question is: what she would do to make of her new album a SUPER SUCCESS?
1# – After Beyoncé gave birth to her child, she should take a little hiatus to enjoy her child and make the people miss her;
2# – Make a reflection of the Beyoncé of Destiny’s Child and the Beyoncé of nowadays and evaluate the high and the low points of her career;
3#- Learn with the mistakes that she made as an artist and inpire herself in what made of her an iconic;
4# – Make an album that speaks about all her experiences as a human being and an artist;
5# – On that same album she should mix everything good that she done musically until today;
P.S.: Beyoncé, don’t make an album inpired in the electro and europop that domains the world today, make an album insipired in what you are, and let the music speaks for itself.
@Mel
Beyonce’s voice is average at best. The difference between her and Rihanna (other than Rihanna’s 11 #1s, bigger WW seller and prettier) is, Beyonce try to classify her vocals as the Whitney’s and Celine’s of the world, when she sounds like a sheep being shaved.
Nobody wants to work with Beyonce after the flop that was 4. The fake w**** tried to use a prosthetic belly to boost album sales which #FAILED; no one wants to work with a #SwaggerJackerOfConcepts; stealing other people’s songs and saying #SheWroteIt; and by all means…that bad breath she has. I heard some thangs some thangs about Beyonce’s odor
Keep stannin for a hasbeen (hang it up flat screen), because while 4 is flopping beyond master proportions, Rihanna is setting and breaking records

I would love a high-concept album. When you watch her perform Proud Mary, Purple Rain, S** on Fire, The Beautiful Ones, You Outta Know, The rockish Freakum Dress, etc. you can just see how much she loves rock and rock & roll. It’s an awesome genre she should experiment more with that! I especially loved The Beautiful ones at Glastonbury, no one alive can perform like how she did there! She should also do more catchy pop records and the r&b songs we know and love. She should ditch the dumb hip hop songs and avoid electronic sounds, I know she doesn’t like it very much, some fans do. Avoid that generic nonsense all the other basic girls are trying. The only other modern artist I see that has a genuine love for music is Lady Gaga. Beyonce still needs to do something more epic and timeless…
@Jamir21 Ho why u here talking bout that basic b*tch? Take a mothaf#ckin seat boo. U just pressed. This post is about Beyonce, why u bugs comin and talkin bout other people. GTFOH like seriously we couldn’t give a sh*t.
@RIHANNASTAN
Delusional much?
BEYONCE NEEDS TO TAKE A F****** BREAK A LONG BREAK.. HER SONGS ARE ALL DEAD NOBODY WILL LISTEN TO THAT S*** IN 2025 . BEYONCE IS A FAKE SINGER SHE MIGHT HAVE GRAMMYS BUT SHE DOEN’T HAVE ANY MAJOR NUMBER ONES LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON ,MARIAH CAREY OR ANY DIAMOND ALBUMS . SHE CANNOT SELL 1 MILLI IN A WEEK . ALL HER SONGS ARE OVERRATED AND HER VOICE IS NOT THE BEST I EVER HEARD .
beyonce stans spend so much time hating on keri hilson and other artist in the industry but pretty girl rock charted higher than alot of beyonce’s singles this era and singles in the past like video phone , at last, listen , greenlight , and pgr also charted higher than countdown best thing i never had, party and 1+1. beyonce needs to make better music! keri hilson is killing her on the r&b side ,even beyonces stans and fans know that keri hilson is better ,but they wont admit it.
I THINK BEYONCE STEALS TOO MUCH TO BE CALLED A LEGEND .
aaliyah doesnt have grammys but she sure as hell was better than this flop in acting ,singing and dancing.
beyonce was always a flop when it came to pop and real r&b songs. beyonce will never be respected like patti labelle , diana ross, aretha frankin, gladys knight , mariah carey , whitney houston, and real r&b artist of the past like toni braxton, deborah c**, swv, 702, lauryn hill. beyonce is not a singer ,she is a product and she is money hungry ,she doent care about touchinf anyone with her music . her lyrics are stupid ,childish and she hasn’t grown as an artist . she sung a song called nasty girl but she is nasty as hell ,always half naked even with child. b-day was a garbage album , she released all the videos off b-day just like 4 because she wanted a number 1 hit ,like someone said above irreplaceble saved her on b-day it’s her only number 1 on b-day.
YOU’VE GOT IT WRONG.
BEYONCE IS ALLREADY ACCEPTED AS AN LEGEND, SO F*** YOU.
I want a song like Rolling in the deep, someone like you AND BILLY JEAN kinda songs..
@sad u forgot that pretty girl rock charted higher than ego get me bodied and run the world girls. if beyonce stans hate on keri hilson and call her a flop they have to first acknowledge that keri hilson has been charting higher than over ten of beyonces singles .
I WOULD CALL BEYONCE A LEGEND IF SHE HAD DIAMOND ALBUMS LIKE MJ , ORIGINAL DANCE MOVES, SWAG, SOMG WRITING SKILLS , SOUL IN HER VOICE , MORE NUMBER ONES THAN MARIAH CAREY OR RIHANNA, , AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE TIMELESS MUSIC , VIDEOS AND GAVE CREDIT TO HER PEERS. BEYONCE IS JEALOUS OF OTHER ARTIST THATS WHY SHE NEVER WORKS WITH FEMALE R&B ARTIST HER AGE . YOU WONT SEE A BEYONCE FEAT RIHANNA , BEYONCE FEAT JAZMINE SULLIVAN , BEYONCE FEAT KERI HILSON , BEYONCE FEAT CIARA BEYONCE FEAT ASHANTI , BEYONCE FEAT TAMIA , BEYONCE FEAT MONICA , BEYONCE FEAT FANTASIA , BEYONCE FEAT BRANDY , BEYONCE FEAT JILL SCOTT , BEYONCE FEAT MARSHA A , BEYONCE FEAT BRITNEY , BEYONCE FEAT KAMEELAH WILLIAMS . THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN! BEYONCE DOESNT WORK WITH FEMALES IN THE INDUSTRY.
BEYONCE DOENT HAVE ENOUGH KERI HILSON SWAG TO SING BILLI JEAN BY MICHAEL JACKSON . THAT WOULD FIT KERI HILSON WAY BETTER KERI HILSON BILLI JEAN REMAKE YESSSSSSSSSSSSS I WOULD LOVE DAT !
F*** ALL RIHANNA FANS BEYONCE IS THE BEST 4 AINT A FLOP ALBUM WTF U GUYS ON ABOUT 4 DEBUT ON #1 WHERE THAT F*** TALK THAT TALK DEBUT AT???? IDIONTS
WHO THE F*** IS KERI HILSON AHAHHAHAHAHAHA SHE WILL ACHIEVE WHAT BEYONCE ALREADY ACHIEVED IN 20 YEARS TIME
TOP 5 FEMALE ARTIST IN OUT GENERATION
1.BEYONCE
2.GAGA
3’RIHANNA
4.NICKI MINAJ
5. BRITNEY SPEARS
i think keri hilson is better
@G
Best joke of the century because keri isn’t even on rihanna’s level.
Beyonce & Rihanna are the baddest b****** in this game.
Aaliyah is gone so why are you bringing her up? Keri who? I see one person using several different names on this post…..
Beyonce isn’t taking a break, she’s doing the movie/soundtrack then her 5th album, who gives a s*** if you don’t like it…. Don’t listen to it…… Just like people talk about rihanna needs to chill out, don’t tell people what they need to do.
Beyonce is on a whole different level then these chicken heads……… pop/rock would definitely be hot for a next album.
You may “think” 4 was a flop, but everyone else in the industry loves that album. Esp. the Rock bands, that want to work with her-collab or writing.
Beyonce is an ICON in 15 more years she will be a legend……..
Just like rihanna will become a icon in a few more years…..
Beyonce made a big impact in the industry from Destiny Child to Crazy In Love, Me Myself and I> all the way to single ladies.
She’s in a transitional period just like Mariah, MJ and Prince went through….. Her work will only get better in time. The best work happens within your 30s……..
So stay tuned….
@LAX :
i will miss u too BUDDY !
but what else can i say , i was OUT by the commander herself !! 🙁
keep doing what u do , you are good 😉 !
keri hilson vs beyonce must watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj7UiPpYGfI&feature=colike
The main problem with 4 was the timing. Leaking pultiple unfinished versions of run the world Tru the projects success path off. Had run the world premiered at her billboard performance I totally believe things might live panned out a tad better. I just feel like most of these people are talkin out of their ass. Beyonce I already knows what shes gonna do before we see her do it. She knew thos album wasnt about singles. The method to her madness has worked thus far I don’t really think she needs to do anything drastic for this next LP. Rihannas living proof successful singles don’t me successful albums at least of the same calibur. Everything happens for a reason. 4 came out and did exactly what is was supposed to do. Get her the critical acclaim she hasn’t recieved for any other album. Many still don’t believe her music is substantial enough to be come icon. Truth is beyonce has sealed her deal. It’s just a matter of time. This 5 th studio album will b a solid effort once again. She has a strong team behind her and every thing serves its purpose. As long as beyonce stays true to herself there won’t be an issue. It’s all about having a good team and perfect timing
@ POPROYALTY
“Im just Livin’ my f*****’ life C*** !!! then she un-followed me !!!”
Sorry Rihanna said that, she must be going through such a hard time. i really hope she takes a break. Just you giving her advice and her attacking you and calling you a c***… thats crazy to me. Beyonce is my fav and if she ever spoke to any fan that way i would loose all respect for her. You and her fans have a right to give ideas or ask for something you know. You all made her famous… she should be more greatful to her fans/stans.
@WHUT
“People grow tired of you when you keep pushing the same s*** , then having this entitlement like you are the best, and no one is better than you! This woman always makes herself look stupid, look disparate, and then sad part her fans can’t even be real enough to tell her to sit her ass down! They always try to make her more than, what she is! I don’t buy or listen to her music! So I can be real with this!!! She needs to write lyrics and content of a woman her age, and get off this ego, alter ego s***!”
_______________________________
I couldnt help but laugh @ this!! it sounds like you’re describing your fave…she’s the one that needs to take a break(hence releasing an album EVERY year)…2…how can you judge whether or not she needs to grow if you so-called “dont buy or listen to her music” that would mean you dont know what you’re talking about…3…”4″ showed PLENTY of growth and she’s speaking about love, relationships, being happy how is that in any way dealing with Sasha Feirce or trying to be younger than what she is…i suggest you go and listen to the album before you judge….and LASTLY if you’re such a true fan of Rihanna maybe you should go and tell her to take a break, maybe get some vocal and performing lessons, and get some REST before you speak of Beyonce taking a break.. #REALTALK
That wasn’t moi who wrote that gurl.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_VYo2IJBtyM/ThNoby2sPgI/AAAAAAAABEo/zeOVHRMgW8w/ny-hairfluff.gif
Her haters are still stuck on this Sasha Fierce Alter ego mess….i could have SWORN Beyonce said she killed her off…THE NERVE of a Rihanna Stan to tell Beyonce to SIT or take a break…you would think her year long break and her being pregnant and not promoting as much would be enough….
I cant take someone serious when they tell Bey to go and write her own lyrics when their fave has dedicated less than 5% to anything they’ve released!
Beyonce is 30…she is NOT 50 and she has fans that are years younger than her(including me) and she will continue to appeal to younger demographics..The insane thing is that “4” was her MOST mature work yet and it’s one of the MAIN reasons her singles havent charted as well as before.
I have NEVER heard in my life Beyonce say ” Im the Best, Nobody is better than me, NO one can beat me” Its the media and her peers( L.A. Reid, Simon Cowell, Micheal Jackson,Prince and countless others) who have praised her talent..AND of course her fans, but doens’t ALL singers/performers fans do the same?? ( including Rihanna’s??)
Beyonce has had ONLY FOUR solo albums out her 8 year solo career with years inbetween each DIL (2003) BDAY(2006) IASF(2008) 4(2011)…unlike some who release EVERY year with NO inspiration and the only intention of getting #1’s….
and Lastly was is with this “kill the game talk” is it more important to have #1 singles or make Quality music that YOU want to make?? Beyonce has been there done that…she’s not worried about competition or being most popular….she has made her stamp on the indusrty and doesnt have a damn thing else to prove..and “4” is the perfect example of that….growth lyrically, artistically and VOCALLY….. She could have EASILY took the Rihann/katy perry route and worked with Dr.Luke Red One, Ester Dean and the other Generic’s of the indusrty but she simply wasnt interested…
If that’s not growth honey i dont know what is smh
SN: i do agree she should move on from the Girl Empowerment songs..we get the point
Beyonce need to put on some clothes, stop straining her vocals and passing it off as soul. Get rid of your camel (#1 priority) because he’s screwing you good and you’re TOO dumb to see it. Throw the blonde wigs into the abyss. Stop sending blogs photos of yourself all year round. She doesn’t need a new album, movie or magazine cover, she needs a SEAT… Matter of fact , someone give her a bed. Her promo train coupled with her insane stans has blown up in her face. We told her to sit! But noooo…. Now look. She can have another successful album, but her “it girl” status is over. She’s the middle aged pregnant stripper now. PEACE
@WHUT
ok maybe you didnt write it, but you posted it meaning you agree
her hair looks diff…i can say that..smh
..Look i would be out on my ASS if this dude hadn’t showed me how to make money EVERYTIME I comment on a site http://t.co/a2BqjOH ..so I owe him 2 spread the word…
JILL SAID….
You may “think” 4 was a flop, but everyone else in the industry loves that album. Esp. the Rock bands, that want to work with her-collab or writing.

Honey it’s VERY rare that people try to remix a Beyonce song mainly because NO one can sing it like her….2 Beyonce ALWAYS performs songs from past albums and DC albums on her shows/tours *watches I AM…World Tour*….so stfu you’re so clouded with anti-beyonce hate that you dont have a clue of what you talking about! SIT ….over here—————–> _/
I was busting out laughing reading some of these comments…….
4 IS:
Beyonce’s fourth consecutive #1 studio album (debuting at number one in several countries including the US), #1 for two consecutive weeks in the US, several weeks in the top ten. Named one of the best albums of the year by ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE (#25) and others. Album single “Party” nominated for a GRAMMY. Album single “Countdown” named one of the Top Ten songs of the year by ROLLING STONE AND SPIN MAGAZINES. Named one of the Top Ten R&B albums of the year on BILLBOARD’S END OF YEAR R&B ALBUM CHART. Album certified platinum and near one million sales in less than 5 months.
“What does an artist do after winning sixteen Grammy’s and selling millions of records? Whatever makes them happy!”– Beyonce
“We weren’t sure about this the first time we heard it but now it’s definitely one of our favourites of the year. With a more grown up sound than we’re use to, Beyoncé stayed away from the safe, familiar sounds a lot of mainstream artists are choosing at the moment, went wild with Diplo for Run the World and stamped her empowering style all over it. With ballads pulled from the core of her heart, faster tracks to evoke the good times, and some perfectly judged mid-tempo tunes, this is a wonderful coming-of-age record from mum-to-be B.” – MSN.co.uk
“Beyoncé has given us many important questions to ponder. Just how does her hair stay consistently windblown? What is “swagu,” and can I have some? And of exactly what relation is your “boof”? All of which is to say, no pop album this year was more fun and self-aware than hers. Sure, 4 has moments of schmaltz and overblown theatricality, but it’s hard to turn a cynical eye to a record that contains, unequivocally, the song of the year. “Countdown” commands sing-alongs — preferably with the wrong words; “grind a’pony girl”? — and fevered discussions with theory nerds over its irregular song structure. A record made up of amazing singles, 4 leaps beyond the restraints of its Top 40 cultural signifier to cultural significance, as Beyoncé celebrates her lasting, loving relationship with her man, as well as her fluidity as an artist who refuses to be thrust into any single box. The year belongs to her. (Eleanor Kagan)”-NPR
@RIhJect I wrote that post! Plus Rhianna is no different! She makes playduh hits, and after a month, that s*** is dry as sand! You get mad because you know it’s the f****** truth! Stop trying to make like 4 was this outstanding album! Yeah it was #1 for a week or two, but sorry to tell you, it didn’t do numbers like Adele! For a woman to be only 23 years old an make an album as GOOD AS she haD, and to still be in the top five after almost a year, shows you that people are not going to except s***** music, from any of these artist anymore! You cannot sit her An lie this lie anymore! Please stop being in denial about this 4 s***! It was not mature, was not hitting the chord with the public!!!! You f****** stans have no real logic about what an real album is! 21 WAS A MATURE ALBUM, 21 SET THE BAR THIS FOR REAL CONTENT IS, 21 LEAD THE PATH TO WHAT REAL MUSIC SHOULD BE ABOUT! YOU STANS ACT LIKE THIS S*** WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROFOUND, SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRESH, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW!! Please wake out your beyonce comatose state ok?!!?!?!?!/!/! I’m 28 years old, yes I’m older, but I be damn if I’m going to lie for the artist that I like! IF ADELE HAD MADE A S*** ALBUM, I HAVE TO BE MATURE ENOUGH TO SAY SO! I CANNOT SIT HER AND LIE FOR MY FAVES WHEN THEY MADE S***** MUSIC! I JUST CAN’T DO THAT! AND LIKE RATEDXXX(Y R U MAD??? SAID, THE COMMENTS SHOW THAT MOST OF YOU ALL CANNOT NOT JUST EXCEPT THE TRUTH FOR WHAT IT IS! 4 WAS NOT A GOOD ALBUM! IF SHE SHOWED GROWTH, THIS ALBUM WOULD HAVE HAD A HIT ON IT, IT WOULD’VE BROUGHT ABOUT A NEW FAN BASE FOR HER, BUT NO YOU FANS ACT LIKE THIS WOMAN IS UNSTOPPABLE, YOU ACT LIKE EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS SO GRANDIOSE !! LET’S MAKE THIS CLEAR ONCE BEYONCE CAN MAKE MUSIC THAT CROSSES ALL DEMOGRAPHICS, ONCE SHE’S IS ABLE TO REALLY CONNECT WITH ALL THE PUBLIC, JUST NOT YOU STANS! THEN MAYBE SHE WILL HAVE BETTER SUCCESS NEXT TIME!! i’M SORRY BUT TO ME HER YOUNG FANS JUST DON’T GET IT. gO BACK TO THE DAYS OF ARETHA, WHITNEY, MARIAH, CELINE DION, PATTI LABELLE, AND LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC, LISTEN TO HOW THEY SING, AND CARRIED THEMSELVES! THEY DIDN’T DO THE S*** BEYONCE DID! PLUS I LOOK AT SOME OF HER MUSIC FROM WHEN SHE WAS STARTING OUT, AND TO BE REAL ALL HER MUSIC AS SILLY, AN CAME OUT DURING THE F***** UP GENERIC MUSIC ERA OF THE LATE 90’S EARLY 2000’S! sorry BUT SHE HAS NOTHING THAT WILL BE LIKE WOW, THIS IS WAS THE S*** IN 20 YEARS!!!!!! I MEAN DAMN STANS! BE REAL!!! 4 WAS NOT THAT GOOD, AND FOR HER TO CONSTANTLY RELEASE VIDEOS SHOWS LACK OF SUBSTANCE! SHE USED TO HAVE GOOD VIDS, BUT NOW SHE IS JUST OUT OF SPUNK!@!!
BEYONCE NEEDS TO SIT THE HELL DOWN SHE IS NOT LEGEND MATERIAL.
@a Nu DaY
let me correct you…i am not mad in the SLIGHTEST……maybe you’re getting opinion confused with Fact…just because you feel 4 isnt “mature” doesnt mean its not….compared to Beyonce’s past standards and past albums this was very much Mature…it had no booty shaking, or club music( w/ the exception of RTW)….ALOT of people related to it….ALOT of whom NEVER liked Beyonce….i mean what do you expect her to do walk on water??…this was HER interpretation of real music hence her ditching the “popular 2011 Generic” POP music and going back to R&B…Best Thing i Never Had, Party, 1+1, Start Over, Love On Top, End of Time…it was a mixture of Classic R&B with her touch. What exactly about “4” reminded you of Sasha Fierce?? #delusionalhater!
and then you write lol “4 WAS NOT A GOOD ALBUM! IF SHE SHOWED GROWTH, THIS ALBUM WOULD HAVE HAD A HIT ON IT, IT WOULD’VE BROUGHT ABOUT A NEW FAN BASE FOR HER”
it would have been a hit?? or you serious? this is the MAIN reason it wasnt a hit because it’s DIFFERENT from her previous albums…. it wasnt a “HIT” becasue it doesnt sound like WFL…lol…Mainstream doesnt want the “NEW” Beyonce..and it had to have been something…it’s currently the #1 selling R&B album of 2011….how is that a failure?? and might i add BTINH and LOT making the top 20 on BB…if im not mistaken ANYTHING in top 20 even top 40 is a hit
Why bring up Adele?? yeh she’s slaying the charts…..yeah her album is pretty good as well, but she’s doing better than EVERYBODY……she’s doin better than Beyonce, Jill Scott, Ledisi, etc ALL of whom have released albums this year…but she has that Pop/Mainstream appeal that works for her in that genre….does it make her music better? NO and let’s not mention her being a “WHITE” soul artist which also doesnt hurt her sales
and OK her videos werent that HOT this time…Damn the woman is pregnant…she rushed and shot as many as she could before she started showing…give her some credit…they could have been better but imo this era she wasnt going for the “High price” “extravagant” videos…it was more personal and simple for an intimate personal album…
And yeah im a super fan dont like the term “stan”…..that doesnt mean i cant admit when she drops the ball…maybe you have me confused with other fans/stans….it doesnt make me delusional or crazy because i like 4…im 23..i LOVE club music but i can also appreciate what Beyonce had to offer on “4”…
The sad thing is Beyonce catches sooo much hate, but its ok when Britney, Usher etc who are all of the same age group make music thats less than inspiring… you clearly are anti- Beyonce and i will NOT take your comments seriously
As much as you Anti-Beyonce people call the fans/stans crazy we say the exact same thing about you…this woman CANT do ANYTHING without it being judged to the tea..she is ONLY human and this is NOT the end of her career….ALL of the greats have had a less than stellar performing album and also delivered some of the best music in there 30’s
YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WOULDN’T CALL BEYONCE OUT IF SHE DIDN’T DO S*** TO BE CALLED OUT, PLUS EVERYBODY DOES NOT HATE HER, i DON’T HATE HER AT ALL, BUT REAL IS REAL, AND i DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU STANS DON’T JUST GET THAT! THE REASON I BROUGHT UP ADELE IS BECAUSE, THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT THEY WANT REAL CONTENT, CONTENT THAT IS MATURE TO PEOPLE OF AGE! ALL THE S*** SHE SINGS ABOUT IS S*** MOST GIRLS IN HIGH SCHOOL RELATE TO!!
I DON’T KNOW HER ALBUM WAS NOT TO MY STANDARDS! BUT ADELE WAS!
Adele being white ain’t got s*** to do with it, the point is people ARE bored with lame ass, same sounding music, and somebody had to bring some better s***, black or white! If black artist would be real, return to real sounding R&B MAYBE A BLACK ARTIST WOULD BE ON TOP! I THINK WE ARE JUST IN TWO DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS, SO MY VIEW ABOUT MUSIC, AND YOUR VIEW ABOUT MUSIC IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!
@RihJect i agree with everything you said
I haven’t read all the comments yet, but I know Rihanna’s fans better not be up in here talking s***…because all anybody has to do is check out Billboard and HDD to see that her stans have *NO* room to talk about anything.
MY COMMENT:
“4 IS:
Beyonce’s fourth consecutive #1 studio album (debuting at number one in several countries including the US), #1 for two consecutive weeks in the US, several weeks in the top ten. Named one of the best albums of the year by ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE (#25) and others. Album single “Party” nominated for a GRAMMY.

Album certified platinum and near one million sales in less than 5 months.”
I FORGOT TO ADD
–‘4’ IS ALSO ONE OF THE TOP TEN SELLING ALBUMS OF 2011 (CURRENTLY AT NUMBER EIGHT) and THE NUMBER ONE SELLING R&B ALBUM OF THE YEAR (source: Yahoo music Chart Watch Extra: The Year’s Top Albums)
TO QUOTE BEYONCE AGAIN–
“What does an artist do after winning sixteen Grammy’s and selling millions of records? Whatever makes them happy!”– Beyonce
who ever says that 4 was a horrible album is stupid, because the album is amazing and it got snubbed a grammy nomination for album of the year to lady gaga’s born this way. b’s 4 was very poorly marketed thats why the project did not do as well, than her past albums, she needed to build more hype surrounding the project, because with hype you tend to sell more record/albums.
For should have been marketed like this
Singles should have been the first 9 cause those were the strongest songs on the album, always start with your strongest songs !
1. Run The World (Girls)
2. Countdown
3. End Of Time
4. Best Thing I Never Had
5. Party
6. Love On Top
7. Start Over
8. I Was Here
9. I Miss You
10. I Care
11. 1+1
12.Rather Die Young
For here next album she should aim to please her audience again as she did in i am sasha fierce, where she had two discs, the first disc should contains elements just like 4, and then the next record should aim to please her countdown, single ladies, and run the world fans.
she should be working with the likes of dr.luke, redone, max martin, the runners, etc. Possibly collaborating with jayz, rihanna, pitbull, kanye west, drake, nicki minaj etc. for the other disc to aim to please a wider audience.
here are some songs that she should model that disc after:
rihanna – we found love
rihanna – only girl in the world
beyonce- run the world girls
beyonce – countdown
beyonce- single ladies
jennifer lopez – on the floor
kelly rowland – commander/down for whatever
katy perry – firework
rihanna – whats my name
nicki minaj – super bass
janet jackson – feedback
madonna – celebration
beyonce – radio
and on the second disc if she plans to do this she should still capture the era of 4 because that album is amazing , and keep her soul in the songs, just like adele, and as she said she loves her fans, but she wants the music to be quality, and thats why i feel if she did this approach with the two discs she could widen her audience.
@A NU DAY IS COME,
I love Adele and I think she is very talented and deserves all of her success but if you think race has nothing to do with her widespread success you are very naive. The world is always more amazed when a white artist is soulful and can hold her own up against the most soulful black artists. Adele just came along and filled that void with great music that appeals to everyone. While her music is great it would not have garnered the attention, airplay, and hype that it has if she was just another soul singing sister like Jill Scott, etc. I took my kids to Celebration station one day and they were playing Adele’s video, Rolling In the Deep. Black soul singing artists don’t get that kind of all around exposure. If they want that type of exposure they are forced to release mainstream music at some point. Beyonce did what was expected of her for years and now she is doing what she wants to do. She may not get the same exposure but she has earned every right to make her own choices for as long as she chooses.
FLOP
Again I do not believe that, because if they really made good music, i mean really just connected, then maybe black artist will be on top, but i think with adele so hit the nail on the head! Her cd is crafted like a champ!
I think TGJ is missing the point, just because 4 did not sell well does not mean she needs to rush out another album. 4 to me was a great album that I enjoyed listening to but people are right when they say she needs new and younger heads on her team. In the end I feel she will pull through this and come back the proper way with more music and not some dumb reality show.
i see u haters are on the keri hilson post hating well heres a video of beyonce performin at walmart after she sucked the d*** of the manager to get her clothing line sold in his store http://youtu.be/6Y6uZ4jNsWA
4 is not selling because its pure trash she is screaming grunting too much and stealing songs and videos . beyonce is a joke nobody but her gat stans bought this mess , its still not selling and it wont sell 1 million by 2012 so give it up haters . beyonce and her gay fanbase need to stop hating on other artist because beyonce is a flop with 5 number ones to date in 15 yrs she cannot make one diamond album.
to all u gay fans keep taking it up the ass untill you get beyonce a***
NOBODY IS GONNA BUY BEYONCES 5TH ALBUM IT WILL SELL ABOUT 100,000 IN THE FIRST WEEK AND 600,000 IN ONE YEAR FLOP B****!
beyonce is fake and jealous of other female artist in the game number one threat rihanna number 2 threat keri hilson , only counting the people that sing r&b / pop . i feel sorry for beyonce shes fading fast ,, in other news swv is coming out in 2012 so destiny child is just a thing of the past , swv was better than dc anyways they sung songs from the soul , beyonce sung about nasty girls and became one lol
beyonce fans are the worst they hate on everybody.
SWV became irrelevant the day TLC got their first HIT and KERI HILSON is approaching album 3 now and is yet to go Gold anywhere, so negro plz
Yall have these damn stan wars on any and every damn topic. My head is spinning from the BEYONCE/RIHANNA/GAGA/ADELE STAN WARS ENOUGH!!!!!!! LOL..Hey like who you like, enjoy their music and keep it pushin people geesh.
@B I know right? I for one am tired, I been trying to be objective when it comes to other artists instead of spreading hate but the moment u stop b*** kissing someones favourite artist ur head gets bitten off
One Word ” QUEEN”
Deal with it Bitchs “Haters”
#1 Beyonce is getting older therefore the music she makes is growing. So yes she brought back her R&B roots instead of all of that Pop. People eventually gets tired of that. She said herself that she wanted to create more music that she can sing at 40 or 60. Would you be singing check up on it or naughty girl at 60? i don’t think so.
#2 Nothing is wrong with her writing skills. the girl’s skills are on point! she is in a whole different lane! yall cant touch the queen!
#3 Dont say anything about her album success if you don’t know the facts. BDAY did not struggle.
# she obviously did not have time to do the world tour or promote her album like she wanted to because she’s now pregnant and will be taking sometime to focus on her baby. so give her break!
SHE STILL SLAYS, Even when she’s pregnant!!!
She needs to sit the hell downfor a minute. I get so tired of seeing her n hearing her I no longer check for her. Give people time to miss you cause the no depth unoriginal act that is now is awful. Go away for a year be a mom find your new self then come out with relatable AND vocally shining songs. Im over beyonce oversinging simple no meaning songs. No shade, just look how fast all the 4 vids came out. Pretty much same month, more effort next time NOBODYS gonna forget about her if shes quiet for a year.
beyonce just needs to b urself and no one else. i love it wen she just do her thing and for her fans. those songs r the best. i just hope her comeback is strong this time and get more hits! get more uptempo songs like sweet dreams and love songs like halo. anyways i will always support her!
I feel like she will record what is “real” to her while she’s pregnant and looking after her baby – like Celine Dion did and the result was the beautiful “A New Day has come”.
She should also try to write at least one song on that new album completely by herself to silence the critics and really test herself. I know Beyoncé is involved in the writing process regardless but she often uses demos.
leave bey alone people lol
only bey can direct her art
but the girl is still the s*** duo
Go away for a year be a mom find your new self then come out with relatable AND vocally shining songs. Im over beyonce oversinging simple no meaning songs. No shade, just look how fast all the 4 vids came out. Pretty much same month, more effort next time NOBODYS gonna forget about her if shes quiet for a year………………….,,,,,,,,,,,,u f****** harter

LOVE BEYONCE
Akari I kind of agree with you because all the 4 videos came to fast and EOT didn’t get the any treatment at all,I didn’t like the aspect of this era.
that being said her next album should get mroe exposure because 4 was brilliant and this wasn’t recognised enough (looking at you gramys). The perfect mix is a very commercially successful album while being critically acclaimed and without dumbed down singles.
End Of time for 2012 <3
I hope A Star is Born is a big box office success and she does a few live performances for the soundtrack,
yesssss beyobn
WV became irrelevant the day TLC got their first HIT and KERI HILSON is approaching album 3 now and is yet to go Gold anywhere, so negro/////////bey is slaying them h***
haaaaaaaa
board still hating on the queen
WV became irrelevant the day TLC got their first HIT and KERI HILSON is approaching album 3 now and is yet to go Gold anywhere, so negro
OK AM DONE…BEY IS STILL THE KING!!!!!!!!!111
The next project certainly should not be rushed and hopefully the elctro-pop trend should have died out.
Love you Beyonce
Many of the icons really soar after 30. EG, Janet and Icon, I want her to sell 10million w.w. next time. something that gets into the heart.

Beyonce never follows trends in music, life NOR fashion. Let’s be for real. She’ll always do what she wants to do and that’s the end of that. Thank God!
I can not waitttttt for her next album and subsequent tour!
^^Me too. I trust Bey with the next one
LOL
shes a tripple threat….ahahahhahaha
to who? ahahhahah
i swear that grape juice be killin me with their delusional asses….
but wait a minute, why is she coming out with a new album so soon..i thought she was taking a break to be with her “baby”…
her new album is going to be the same ol b******* she has been putting out..that fake i want to be a good role model to women, but let me show my naked ass to sell records…
for somebody that suppose to be in her own lane, she sure as hell, doing the most to compete with her lessors….
her career is never going to be the same…she has f***** over to many people..hell even her own dad….she better be happy her dad got her those 16 grammys to sleep with at night…
i dont want to hear no b******* about, if u hate somebody so much why r u in their post..
since the bitter b**** ass crew is always on the suppose lessors post, talking mad s***
people on this site are dumb as f*** ! why the F*** do you all care about sales instead of good music. are YOU benefitting from the sales!!!! NO, so why do want beyonce to release an album that sells well! quality (4) over quantity (Loud and Talk That Talk)
4 was a great album,the management and the promotion were the problems.End of Time or Countdown should have been he first single.t I think she should continue to make music like 4! But on her 5th album I want her to work with Bryan Michael C**, Darkchild, & more of Sean Garrett!
She should be inspired by her own work…
From 1st album: Baby Boy (she doesn’t perform this very often, but it was #1 on Billboard Hot 100 and it’s very current)
From 2nd album: Irreplaceable (not Best Thing I Never Had…)
From 3rd album: Halo (Ryan Tedder, anyone?)
From 4: End of Time (why there is no video for this?)
She MUST work with Jay-Z again. He didn’t appear on her last 2 albums and their last effort “Lift off” was amazing.
I can see her doing something like Talk That Talk (the song, not the album) with Jay… Epic
Rated xxxx stfu okay. I know you aint talking about bey being have naked when she porfoms look at that rihanna b**** who gets naked on stage all th time so ppl can over look her lack of vocal talent. What know b****!!!!
still with this post God! Beyonce Team must pay well to TGJ 4 publicity and new ideas but Sam what makes you think we want to help her, notice that TGJ only make this for her because “4” was a mess, TGJ doesn’t make the same with Christina’s “Bionic” , Ciara last album or J.Lo’s “Brave”, he only care about the success of his idol Beyonce, anyway she should back in 2013 cuz there’s a lots competition in 2012, we have albums from the biggest female musician ever Cher, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera ect…Oh! and i think Gaga is gonna put out a new album just to prove herself that she can compete with the old b******, you know she never stop:
1- The Fame (i’m a normal girl from NYC)
2- The Fame Monster ( Whatever happened to her, she used to be so normal)
3- Born This Way (trying to convince us that she really is scary)
4- I’m The original One (I finally morphed into Madonna YEAH!)
hahahahahahah.

Real Talent! —————–> http://youtu.be/nOZ1s2qrE18 <——————————— LISTEN!
4 was a master peice album. There is nothing wrong with the music. Beyonce doesnt need to go to the hottest dance-pop producer for hits. The only reason 4 flopped was because this era was sloppy. Everything from the single selecion to the promotion was just sloppy Run the world was a hot mess, it was a terrible choice, countdown sounds like a leftover from sasha fierce, she should, work with some producers and make some good rb records, kinda have a hip hop soul twist to it, like mary j. blige, aalyiah meets kelly clarkston, her videos need to be more groundbreaking, her promotion needs to be more groundbreaking, taking her time with singles, instead of rushing them, she should wait until oct 2012 to release a record, release a ep first, get in and grind with jay-z, drake, etc, have a hip hop sound to it!! people are getting bored with the pop ballads, dangerously in love was her best album, pure R&b and soul, R&b music is struggling to survive, in 2006 irrepalaceabkle was beasting and people were buying records, but not this time, its really going to be a challenge in today’s commercial pop world!!
WHY DO YOU PEOPLE WORSHIP GAGA? NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER BUT THE GAY COMMUNITY LOL
right, the problem with 4 was not the music content b/c she is a big enough artist to make it work. Its the plan and un wise derisions made with it. 4 did not flop its just selling much slower than beyonces other albums.
and Beyonce does not need to make all dance music pop like the others just to make a hit. She just needs solid music/promotion. Notice If i were a boy and halo were both huge WW hits and were not dance pop.
What I appreciate most about Beyonce’s latest album is the fact that nothing in the pop arena sounds remotely close to the singles she chose. She set yet another standard and lifted the bar higher. Let’s watch to see who follows.
I THINK BEYONCE NEEDS TOO WORK WITH DRAKE NIKKI MINAJ CHRIS BROWN LIL WAYNE TREY SONGZ BIG SEAN I MEAN SHE NEED TOO MAKE MUSIC DAT PEOPLE GONE LOVE AND LIKE MAKE MUSIC DAT BE GONE DANCE TOO U KNOW ALL DEEZ SONGZ SHE BEEN MAKEIN THEY BEEN GOOD BUT I KNOW SHE CAN DO BETTER SHE NEED TOO DO BETTER DANCEIN LIKE CIARA UMM SHE NEED TO CHANGE HER STYLE U KNOW IF U WANNA BE AROUND FOR YEARS STEP YO GAME UP I THINK HER BEST SONG WAS DIVA Upgrade U DANCE FOR YOU I MEAN IF SHE MAKE SONGS LIKE DAT I THINK PPL WOULD LOVE HER CUZ RIGHT ABOUT NOW IMM SAY RIHANNA PUT OUT LIKE 5 OR 6 ALBUMS BEYONCE NEED TOO DO MORE RNB AND HIP HOP SHYT
the content is the issue beyonce does not need heavy promotion for a great album because she an icon .its her content ‘ 4 ‘ was utter b******* .B’Day , IASF were my favs . what she needs is to get rihannas writters and producers eg. ester dean . neyo
stargate etc
First of all this album is not a FLOP! Everyone is saying its a FLOP b/c she didnt sell as much as ADELE’S album..
Lady Gaga album only sold as much as it did b/c she had it on sell for 99cents for the first week. HELL i was even tempted to purchase her album and I really dont like her all like that…
Beyonce’s 4 has sold just as much as any other album out this year, its TOP 10.. like she is pregnant, yea she soldiered thru some of that did 4date mini concert, released 6 videos all at the same time basically. And she promoted heavy overseas before coming stateside.. Her lead single should not have been the LEAD single and also her album leaked in FULL 2 weeks b4 the release date and she still SOLD 3million WORLDWIDE and 10,000 shy of 1million in the US… and just b/c u sell 1million doesnt mean ppl gon stop buying your album all of a sudden…. 4 can still be mega successful if she gives birth to her child makes super-creative out of this world video for END OF TIME and promotes the way she should… then end it with a video for I was Here.. and by that 2million records will be sold in the US and 4 or 5 million worldwide in another years time…
Like people hate on her but expect her to outsell everyone all the time when excuse my french but s*** hppens example FULL ALBUM LEAK, NEW MANAGEMENT, PROMOTIONAL SCHEDULE WAS NOT TOO GOOD, AN A PREGNANCY.. THATS A LOT FOR A NEW MANAGEMENT TO DEAL WITH AND A ARTIST TO DEAL WITH WHEN YOUR MANAGING YOURSELF..FOR THE FIRST TIME..
BUT MY POINT IS IF YOU GUYS DO YOUR RESEARCH.. BRUNO MARS HAS SOLD 1.3 MILLION ALBUMS IN THE US HIS ALBUM WAS OUT LAST YEAR HE WAS NOMINATED FOR THE MOST GRAMMYS THIS YEAR BESIDES KANYE.. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU CONSIDER SOMETHING A FLOP… COMPARE THE ALBUM TO THE STATE OF THE GAME OF EVERY OTHER ARTIST.. AN THE ONLY ARTIST OUT HERE SELLING RECORDS IS ADELE AN THATS B/C SHE WAS RELATIVELY UNHEARD BEFORE SHE STARTED STATING SHE STANS FOR BEYONCE..
But as far a 5th album goes..
I’m thinking bring bck SASHA FIERCE..
more songs like
DIVA…UPGRADE U..
AND A MONSTER SINGLE LIKE CRAZY IN LOVE..
ALBUM SHOULD CONSIST OF MORE RADIO POP DANCE FRIENDLY MUSIC WITH A R&B TWIST..
I WOULD GO 16 SONG ROUTE.. 4 BALLADS 4 MIDTEMPO. 8 UPTEMPO
WORK WITH A FEW DIFFERENT PRODUCERS SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH BUT DONT GET RID OF YOUR NORMAL PRODUCERS BECAUSE THEY GIVE U MUSIC YOUR CORE AUDIENCE LOVES CONSISTENLY
PROPER PROMOTION.. OF EACH SINGLE.. PERFORMING EVERYWHERE IN THE US.. FORGET THE UK THIS TIME AROUND UNTIL ITS TOUR TIME..
DO TWITTER.. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO HIRE A PERSON TO RUN THE PAGE FOR YOU.. TWITTER IS A MUST THO..
INTERVIEWS.. SHOW MORE OF YOURSELF, AN NOT BE SO UPTIGHT, LET YOUR HAIR DOWN.. TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU NEVER TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.. LIKE KERI HILSON’S ANTICS.. OTHER ARTISTS YOU LIKE BESIDES KELLY ROWLAND.. SHARE MORE LIFE EXPERIENCES.. GIVE US SUM ATTITUDE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA NOT JST BEHIND THE CAMERA..
Her greatest and most acclaimed record. Mark the words. ‘5’
If Sam says “critically acclaimed” one more time. This album was not as commercially successful as he makes it out to be.
As much as others won’t admit, musical content was a problem for Bey along with promotion. 4closure was a great album. It was a breath of fresh air in an era of Dance and Euro Pop. However, none of Bey’s songs were radio/single friendly.
Bey could have slayed this era since everything was set up for her to dominate. Britney and Gaga had already released their first singles, which were losing steam fast. The industry was literally waiting for Bey to come out her cage. It’s a career killer to release an album near hers unless you are a mega Pop star.
While Bey’s regular audience was confused by Run the World, it had great crossover appeal for the international scene. The supporting visual took the song to newer heights, which paved the way for some great promo potential. However, Bey failed at this. She only did a few concerts overseas…and that was it. From there things went down hill with unevenly spaced singles with a stop on the promo.
Bey let her pregnancy define this era. While her black audience will remember her hits from this era, her mainstream audience will most likely forget them since she didn’t promote them.
SUGGESTION: PROMOTE B****!!

Please stopping using that Amazon deal as an excuse, because Gaga would have still sold around 700k without, that is still basically double what beyonce has sold. Gaga also has has multiple hit singles. Furthermore, Beyonce has just sold about or close to 2 mil ww not 3 mil….
floppppppppp
4 was booty s***
I hope yall stop saying that Beyonce need to collaborate with Chris Brown, Sean Garrett, and who ever else in the music industry because it’s not gonna happen. Beyonce and family has burned too many bridges in the industry. Matthew Knowles is about to get sued by Cathy Hughes who owns TV One for trying to do her duty and she’s suing BET also. It’s about to get real rough on the Knowles-Carter family. Soon people in the industry will start to disassociate themselves from them and will stop working with the Knowles-Carter camp. They have too much blood on their hands and they will reap what they sow!
beyonce turned white and she sings without emotions and soul. thats why beyonce fans hate keri hilson ,its because keri’s music has real meaning
BEYONCE SHOULD RETIRE FROM STEALING IDEAS AND KEEP IT 100 .THE INNOCENT ACT IS GETTING OLD.
i agree, bey’s latest album was not her best but she did insist it was the top of her game as she explained in her “Year of 4” documentary. She also had deprived fans hyped up after her return from the one year retreat in order to find herself.. in accordance to her time away, everyone thought her product would’ve come out immaculate to the other 3 albums she had released, beyonce’s 4 is probably one step up from b’day
I love Beyonce’… LORD KNOWS I DO! But I most definitely agree wit sum of tha previous comments… Don’t get me wrong, “4” is a nice album. It’s not great 2 me like “B’Day” n if it wasn’t for “Countdown”, “End of Time”, ” Run the World (Girls)”, “Start Over” n “I Miss You”…4 wouldn’t have much play n my playlist. Tha music itself isn’t bad I can say cuz I love how she had lots of different genres mixed n each song, but tha marketing n most definitely tha promoting was ALL WRONG! “Run the World (Girls)” comes out n April, video n May, album leaks tha very beginning of June n officially comes out end of June…OKAY cool but if u ask me I think it was all 2 fast this time around. Beyonce’ has thrown juzt about all her fans for a loop this round. One thing I do not like is tha little promotion dat she did was all oversees except Live at Roseland. She do majority of her promotion oversees wit any project n spends very little time doin US promotion. U don’t see her doin very many interviews n when she does, they’re very straight on, 2 tha point n about tha same thing. I wanna see n hear her more connecting wit her fans. I understand privacy but ppl start 2 lose interest n tha same ol’ thing every go-round. She confused me this this around from tha imagine she was tryna go for…WRONG! Dirty, raw, lots of egde n boldness but tha sound n my opinion does not match. And I quote…”What do u do after 16 Grammy’s?… Whatever makes u happy”….. I had dat question before 4 came out. Even wit 1 Grammy or no Grammy’s, u should always do what makes u happy but u see 4 did make 2 many ppl happy cuz it’s not even nominated for a Grammy next year, so what does dat say?! All 7 of her vids from this album came out waaaaay 2 fast. I was kinda like well WTH r tha official singles… I mean one week u see one video then within a blink of an eye u see something else, then BOOM….Anotha DVD release. Her career sure has a weight tide 2 tha bottom of it cuz I’m sadly watchn here sink. Beyonce’ is 2 safe about everything…BUT my honest opinion is SHE SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET HER DAD GO AS HER MANAGER or at least she not being managing herself. Really she needs 2 step her pin game up…wanna hear more than juzt how much n love she is. Step her video level up…stop tha sampling n paying “homage” 2 everybody. Be more open out there wit fans…Whatever happened 2 tour buses, makin a lil stops at tha mall talkn 2 fans, meet n greets backstage or even goin 2 record stores, Walmart or somewhere doin album signing. Beyonce’ will never lose me as a fan, as much money I done spent n her career, but I do find myself listening 2 Adele’s “21”, Rihanna’s “Talk That Talk” n Kelly Rowland’s “Here I Am” albums more than “4”… I’m gonna continue 2 support n all I can do is wish here tha best wit her next album!!!!
I think Beyonce is a great, singer, songwriter, performer etc. And like she said at Roseland, she has 16 grammies, million of records sold, and she is and was one of the biggest stars in 2000-2010, she can do whatever she likes, this woman is an Icon and a legend-to-be, she will go down in history with her grammies, and also with her glastonbury performance.
When she wanna be on top again, she must release lady gaga/rihanna songs, and that ain’t Beyonce anymore, she was that, she had all of that.
This is a woman, with a child on its way, and she still be ballin’ and working.
All those youngsters look up to Beyonce, cause she is what a true artist difines.
But I do think, that if she will release her 5th album, there should be more promotions, in stead of making a mini world to. Her planning wasn’t right AT ALL.
Last but not least,
Lets not forget Beyonce is 30, she has been in the game for 15 years now, she is a star, and no matter how many albums she sold, people will still know who Beyonce Knowles is, her name is already History!!
Stop putting this thing up everyweek… We don’t give a f*** about Beyonce !!!
Yes history for lying about songwriting, video treatments, etc…
she has soiled her ‘name’ with her thirst to outshine everyone else(what she learned from her sick mammy Tina)

@BEYONCESTANS
yasssssssssssss honey murder that keyboard with anger! lmaoooo you’re not upsetting anyone my dear, other than yourself… Beyonce and her stans are quite pleased! *blows kiss*
*plays DIVA* 😉
Would love to hear Beyonce work with Salaam Remi, more stuff with Alicia Keys that actually makes the cut, more stuff with Frank Ocean those 3 for the critical acclaim and mix that with some Sean Garrett and Dream writing/production to get some commercial rnb. However she should continue to avoid electro-pop at all costs.
I believe with Beyonce being pregnant, she couldn’t promote her “4” album like she usually does. Also to say she needs a break and come back with better writers to some degree I agree. Beyonce needs newer writers or better writers, like Frank Ocean,Jim Josen, Lady who wrote “I Was Here”, Rico Love, and whoever wrote Rhianna’s song “Mandown”, also Beyonce needs a fresh new team around her that is hungry to help her be more creative and not bitting off other’s. Her own fresh never before ideals to help her on her “ICONIC” styles. Also Frank Gatson is good, but he does the same things, she needs someone newer/younger with better ideals to work along with Frank. Also get a better video person that won’t get others ideals, or continue to used same ideals that given others/recylce video’s. (Melinda- doing just that using recycle video’s). Also Beyonce needs to collaborate on her next album, hopefully with guests like John Legend, Nas, Mary J and dare I say Rhianna. Beyonce should at all cause try to make it happen. Beyonce shouldn’t come with her next album until around 2013/2014, given herself time to learn motherhood and have something to actually sing from the heart about. I know she’s doing a album for her new movie ASIB. Beyonce is on the “ICONIC” status and should only think in that direction of doing things that would put her on that level of “ICONIC” & “LEGEND” status.
Do not correlate genre with outcome:
An artist of her celebrated caliber should not see sales like 4. 4 epitomizes how the industry and fans alike have become bored with Beyonce, in addition the management of 4 was subpar, her pregnancy saved the era, to be frank.
Suggestions for 5th Album:
Videos- Beyonce, your videos must improve. Do we want movies? No. Do we want bomb ass visuals with meaning? Yes!!! Single Ladies proved how less is more, but don’t get it twisted less money and less creativity do not go in hand in hand. We are in an image based point in music now, VEVO will help you, but you definitely have to help VEVO!
Lyrics- I hope motherhood will provide much needed depth to your songs (ballads). Me, Myself and I is proof that a song can be friendly to the ear, mind and charts.
Single Selection- The first released single should be like BAM!!! Deja Vu and RTW did not do that, but learn from those tales. Furthermore, the released singles should be cohesive and not random to please certain audiences.
Prodcution- Versatility is key. You can be sensual like speechless, gritty like Etta
James and funky like Freakum Dress. Re-introduce yourself but at the sametime, STAND-OUT. Be leery of 3 year old samples too.
Management- Whatever you did 4, do not for 5! Plan. The singles, videos, TV appearances, performances etc all have to flow…..
Other- Ditch the Blonde, it washes you out and does you not justice. DONT do another documentary. Have Solange on deck! Continue to dress fly (pregnancy released your inner fashionista). Be more accessible and visible to fans. Collab with Mary and Mariah (separately). Do something with all of DC. Last but not least, go with your gut, you know what’s best for you.
Song Ideas:
You Know How To Love Me- Phyllis Hyman
Ooa La La La, Dear Mr Gaye- Teena Marie
Your Smile- Angela Winbush
I’m On Your Side- Angela Bofill
All Woman- Lisa Stansfield
Alright- Janet Jackson
Don’t Go, Hold On, Part of Me- En Vogue
Bad Girl- Madonna
Beyonce should do what she feels. As fans we are supposed to support her no matter what, and that’s just what I’ll do. I love her. I’ll be happy with anything because she doesn’t have to do what she does. She said we (fans) inspire her.
To all bey haters,Rihanna called and she said that she needs some love too!
Don’t get me wrong! I am beyonce’s biggest fan,I bought all of her albums and DVDs but to tell the truth ,4 is my least favorite one,sorry bey! For this 5th album,bey needs uptempos and mid tempo ballad ala irreplaceable,bey needs some collaborations and she needs beats that are catchy and radio friendly, and she should focus on songs that would be a hit and not on the songs that she feel or like. I LOVE YOU BEYONCÉ!! Beystan forever .f*** off haters!:p
This Would Be Her Comeback Album: 1. Take Over Control – Afrojack ft. Eva Simons
2. Hello Goodmorning – Dirty Money ft. Rick Ross & Nicki Minaj
3. Go To Work – Kalenna
4. Birthday Cake – Rihanna
5. Set Fire To The Rain – Adele
6. Impossible – Shontelle
7. Whip My Hair – Willow Smith
8. Do It Like A Dude – Jessie J
9. Took The Night – Chelley
10. Isn’t She Lovely – Stevie Wonder
11. Little Freak – Usher
12. Everyday (Coolin) – Swizz Beatz ft. Eve
13. Cockiness (Love It) – Rihanna
For producers, Beyoncé should work with Swizz Beatz, Bangladesh, Tricky Stewart, Afrojack (to mix it up and try something fresh and new), Hit-Boy, and Polow Da Don.
For songwriters, she should work with The Dream, Ester Dean (A LOT), Max Martin, Frank Ocean, and Musze (Maxwell).
She should just go back to the Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), Diva, and Get Me Bodied sound with one or two house/dance songs thrown in to try something new (she sort of tried it with her track “Radio” but that wasn’t a strong song at all) . And keep the ballads to a minimum (two max.)
Bey needs to bring Sasha back!
retire w****!!
no boys allowed was better than beyonces 4 .
To all beyonce stans : Hey mutha fuckas u are so lame claiming that beyonce is the top b**** of 2011 ,lies lies lies lies lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! beyonces 4th album 4 was platinum trash can garbage ! for those of you that hate on other artist like adele , rihanna , lady gaga , britany spears, monica , fantasia , jazmine sullivan , janet jackson, michael jackson, brandy , katy perry , ashanti , keri hilson , ciara , and others u need to check beyonce first! Just because beyonce has 16 grammys doesnt make her God! everybody is not a fan of beyonce. to those who talk s*** about keri hilson heres beyonce’s performance in walmarts parking lot http://youtu.be/XB0tKfdm-eU. u guys hating on some dumb s***! beyonce is a cocky overrated jealous human being she bleeds just like us . Why do u bey fans hate on other artist just because ur obsessed with beyonce? everyone has their likes and dislikes so stop trying to show off grammys and stolen dance steps to downgrade other artist! 4 was a fail it has no hits allowed !!!!!!! single ladies was beyonces last number 1 hit single and the dance moves stolen from bob fosse!
Beyonce lost herself by idolizing Jay-Z, this is deeply reflected in her music.
Her music is very repetitive and unreal, her voice lacks SOUL (No matter how hard she tries). Beyonce is nothing without a MAN!
im glad to hear this 🙂 people are acting as if the 5th album is gonna be rushed and released this month, shes not RIHANNA lol. it will probably come out in 2013 some time, which is a decent, 2-year gap from 4.
@BeyonceBeStealingBecauseSheTooDumbToCreate- Usually I dont respond to ignorant comments. But 16 Grammys isnt everything but it shows hard work and effort. It show something way more than nothing compared to those other artist. I love Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Adele, Ciara, Lost love for Keri Hilson, MJ, MJB, and alot others, however, Beyonce can overall perform better than them all, the only one im excluding in that statement is MJ, because she is compared to him. No other one of those artist worked as hard as Beyonce did that is why most is second rate artist except artist like adele, Random boost to fame, Lady Gaga, Gimmick to the Top, Ciara, Cant maintain, Keri Hilson, No real hit herself, Britney Spears, can;’t sing but she can dance and lipsync, and thats just to name a few of the most popular ones at this moment and the list can go on. Beyonce don’t steal but she does pay homeage to the things of the past that inspires her and she still recreate it and give it the Beyonce Effect which most people do not with some lame emotionless performance. She trying to keep some of those iconic moments of the past known and releveant in today’s culture. Most things they claim she steals, but she has the rights to them, don;’t see how thats’s stealing, but as i digress, She does not steal anything. With this constant claim of Beyonce not having a Hit. First, she is not aiming for the next #1 single on BB Hot 100 Chart. Second, Beyonce is not making your typical radio friendly music that she did on her past albums. She is not making music like til the world ends, fireworks, or Born this way. She is being expressive, personal, and creative in ways that clearly you and some people can not understand. Thirdly, she did not completely promote the album nor one particular single from the album as she did on her past albums. How would you expect the same outcome. Fourth, Beyonce’s goal is not BIGGER but QUALITY. Music of substance and true to her. Which makes it persoanl for her fans. When things do seem to be a bit unappreciated, you get an emotional reaction, as you did and currently doing. Beyonce has broken barriers and created more opportunities for young women. Beyonce shows that anything is possible through hard work, good fam and business support, and be relentless. Beyonce exepmlify a genuine artist and individual. She controls every aspect of what she is doing, including now managing herself, director and editing her videos. She motivates people, and most of entertains them in the process. Beyonce is a performer of a lifetime. She is compared to the greatest performer of all, Micheal Jackson. Beyonce is also real big in Philanthropy. She helped with the Let’s Move Campaign for Overweight kids and also opened a school for women with drug abuse. Survivor Foundation as well. In Conclusion, Beyonce has accomplished a lot, uphold a professional, positive, character. Everyone question why a fan loves Beyonce, Ask yourself “Why Don’t You Love Beyone?”
I think the last thing Beyonce needs to do is ‘ trying ‘ an old/classic sound. She might sample old hits. But she’s known for creating her own sound. Today record sales seems more important than the lyrical content on the records. Sample/Cover old hits with a House sound is so 1990!
I love Madonna and Janet Jackson but I don’t think Beyonce needs their sound to hit the summit on the albums and singles charts. She just need to have her baby, enjoy her motherhood and hit the studio when she’s 100% ready to deliver a ‘Typical Beyonce Record’ right, a record that will surprise all of us.
So many of Beyonce haters love to shout out her failure but whisper her success.
@D Harris
Shut the f*** up idiot. MJB is a better singer and performer than that drag queen
you will not disrespect the queen you f****** b****.
her ‘success’ is not unprecedented or never before seen so what is there to talk about?
Beyonce can do whateva she want! I love “4” and this is music she wanted to do for a long time. I just hope for her next album she mix it up a little. All the haters just have to know whateva she put out will sell. so deal with it!!
You worthless haters ! Staple your mouth and reflect on the stupid things you throw on bey.if you hate beyonce so much then y r u spending ur good for nothin time on posts that involve her?! Stupid haters die now!! You can’t just appreciate talent ,and o the stupid thing that concluded that beyonce stole the dance steps of her no.1 hit single ‘single ladies’ are you dumb!? The choreographer is the one who taught bet that amazing moves,and bey is the only one who can sing,dance and act perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!! You haters are superficial!
And for the record you ignorant dumbitches,it’s not about the Grammys she got,it’s the impact she brought in people’s lives,nowadays the performers just do it because of money and fame,bey is not scared to explore and out do herself she’s not the type of artist who likes to play safe,beyonce spent a year off and she’s not scared of what will happen ,beyonce is a strong woman,she has the power to rule the world!
And haters ,I bet you are sad right now witnessing fans that wold protect her no matter what!
@InLoveWithBey I compeletly agree with you. (excuse my french) @FlashingGreen But u damn fool if you think MJB flat singing is better than beyonce then u are as stupid as ur avatar… u ignorant b****** Beyonce can sing and dance circles around MJB and every other female artist. Mary J. Blidge hell even she like what Beyonce has and that came from her mouth. Now u f****** b**** MJB is horrible nothing and incomparable to Beyonce she is worthless. Hell they have a song together and Beyonce kills her so get ur facts straight u ignorant F*&^4*g BI$^%. Beyonce done sold more than her ass and Beyonce havent even been in the game as long as her so get it together h**. (Forgive my language in this post, thats out of my character but this fool needs to know)
She need to envolve the mans (hetero) in her career too, because sometimes we feel like she just do music for the ladies! and I love beyoncé and i’m not gay! so, she just need to contact with all her fans !!!! and promote her album in the best way !! like “I Am…Sasha Fierce” (and of course, some songs with sasha on it!!!)
4 was amazing and everyone who didn’t like has absolutely NO taste in music and only cares for what is in! Beyonce has reached a status where she can do whatever the hell she wants BUT she still has 2 please her fans because we the reason her music gets successful. 4 would hav done amazingly without the leaks. Run The World leaked early. I had a feeling she would premiere it at Billboard Awards and then Itunes at midnight and it would have been #1! Then 4 leaked 3 weeks early! If it didnt it would hav sold at least 1.5 mil 1st week! the leak was downloaded over a million times anyway! for the next era she needs m,ore radio friendly Epic songs with MJ/Madonna/Janet esque videos that are groundbreaking and innovative, not copycats! If Queen B puts out a FUn dance song it would gostraight 2 number 1 cuz shes so damn powerful. Ialso would like 2 c her incorporate rock like her s** on fire cover was amazing!
TRacklist:
End of TIme (with Jay-z) (should be lead single)
Adele Rolling in the Deep (anything with depth like a real situation and well written)
Songs LIke MIchael Jackson Thriller and WAnna BE startin somethin (soo feel good)
Madonna- Like A Prayer
Sorta stuff like her Dangerously in LOve cd and CHristina Aguilera Dirrrty
LOts of Dance MUsic
working with Afrojack, DAvid Guetta, THe Runners, Avicii, Sleigh Bells, Dr.Luke, Max Martin( but plz nothing like Katy Perry crap) Bangladesh, Dj Frank E, Diplo, Ryan Tedder, and alot more but all EPIC AND CLASSIC SUPER CRAZY SONGS THAT WILL MAKE ANYONE WANNA DANCE like whitney huoston i wanna dance with somebody or sweet dreams are made of this by eurythmics or even work with Will.I.Am for party music
AND BETTER PROMO PLZZ!!!!! EVERY SINGLE TALK SHOW IN THE WORLD, NONSTOP PERFORMANCES, START TWEETING AND SAYING LIKE COUTDOWN REQUEST WEEK AND STUFF AND OFFER US SOMETHING IN RETURN 4 #1 SINGLES! AND AN AMZING TOUR CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ESQUE WITH 100 DANCRS!! LOL I KNOW SOME OF THIS IS VERY RANDOM AND CONFUSING BUT I JUST WANT A MORE ORGANIZED, RADIO FRIENDLY, EPIC BEYONCE INNOVATIVE ERA!
ALSO WORK WITH SKRILLEX AND COLABORATE WITH TOP ARTISTS AND GET 7 #1 SONGLES 2 BEAT THE RECORD! LOL
Beyonce needs to re-vamp the concept of her music. I feel that she hasn’t really fully leaped from the formula that gained her success with Destiny’s Child. That is the gimmicky urban slang and catch phrases that’s she’s played with for so many years. it is cute but how cute it is when you’re a mother and in your 30’s. honestly it would be a great time for beyonce to mature your lyrical content and sound. I mean if you look at timeless jems from artists like Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston. The lyrics were simple but yet passionate and melodic. Of course those records has an array of people involved from producers, to instrument players, writers, and such. it takes a lot of more musically acknowledged talent to produce timeless records and honestly Beyonce has yet to bring an album that really brings that timeless feel. Beyonce is beautiful and can dance which is very important for an audience especially if she is touring. however we live in an age of disposal music that people digest music like chewing gum. Adele proved something this year that music with passion and talent really work more over beauty and dance moves. Beyonce’s material needs to grow and so does she is she really wants to cater to a more international appeal. Simplicity is much much better than all the production. There is so much new talent for her to be inspired from and to utilize she’s a f****** brand and doesnt need a brand name producer to compliment her. She’s a baddass b**** and at this point she needs to hire no names with a fierce passion and talent and use them to catapult her to even higher grounds. at the end of the day she’s the boss and no one else is at the moment. 4 was a rush effort in my opinion and not her best. Beyonce can bring is so much better and I hope she will.
Queen/King needs to go a more loud, aggressive, attitude era. Like WE ALL KNO ur QUEEN!!! &&everybody always try to put other female artist against yhu &&portray yhu as a b****..so why kno give them the b****,,Make them “Suck ur cockiness” in others words: BRING BACK SASHA!!!!! Stop being so modest, Gaga is not someone new artists shud try to be, its YHU! Lyrically, yhu need to do more “Telephone” “Diva” tracks those in yo face lyrics. Show Rihanna &&Nicki &&Katy &&Gaga tht ur Queen &&they cnt mess wit yhu…stp leaving us (ur fans) alone in the battle fighting for yhu. So the 5th album shud have the anticipation like DIL, the attitude like BDAY, &&the FIERCEness frm IAMSF…Genre of: Pop, electrohouse, dubstep &RnB…(maybe a lil auto-tune;) ]New style plz!!!!! Tired of the blonde or brown hair…do Jet BLACK!!! have more s** appeal in ur appearence, we kno ur 30, a mother &&a wife but ur still as beautiful as before &&yhu shud show it off lol buts thts wha she needs to do, jst be MORE OPEN TO UR FANS &&***BRING BACK SASHA FIERCE***

KERI HILSON WAS SNUBBED BY GRAMMYS 2011 AND 2012
Having Beyonce have songs that sounds similar to everyone else is not what we want we like Beyonce’s music because it’s unique the type she plays and sings is music that you don’t hear often. We don’t like any of that hip-hop type she sings besides Upgrade U when she copies and tries to be like everyone she fails but when she comes up with something unique than she is success, we liked Baby Boy, Crazy in Love, Naughty Girl, Deja Vu. music like that makes Beyonce’s music great because it’s catchy something we never heard of and she brings it out in the right time for it. Like for example Deja Vu was a summer anthem if it was brought during winter it would have never been that great. it’s like when Rihanna was great her only good album was Good Girl Gone Bad it had songs that were not like everyone else Disturbia, If I Never See Your Face Again, Sell Me Candy, these were great songs and notice they are not similar to anyone. Beyonce tried Run The World, and Countdown trying to be like everyone else no one favored these songs because it was like music we already heard. I hope she reads this and follows up on it.
