Can't stand her and never listened to her even back in the DC days. Just not my type of music and I think there are plenty of other great singers out there.

i guess i'm alone, but i think she's absolutely amazing!



NO snark at all, I'm genuinely curious. We've all listed why we dislike her so, what is it about her that makes her absolutely amazing?



she's beautiful.

i love her music. she's actually talented and can sing compared to 99 percent of the artists out there.

she's an amazing performer. if anyone has ever seen her in concert, she puts on a show! her outfits, the dancing, the stage..

i didn't watch the vma's last night, so i can't judge her performance, but every time i saw her perform, whether live or on tv, she's killed it.

I don't mind her.
I don't love her, but I'm not in the "hating" camp either.
She's just...there. Pop singers are like that...always floating around in the atmosphere, not really adding much substance to the world.

I kinda agree with you except for the absolutely amazing. I think at one point she was but ever since she married JayZ, she changed her music, sense of style and attitude. I have been to her concerts and she does throw an amazing show. Her voice is amazing and her preformance is also amazing. I just wish she would go back to singing the type of songs she used to sing not all this sex crap she is now singing.

One of my favorite songs ever is Halo by her. So I do like some of her music. Just nothing from today. And she does put on a great show. I just don't like the whole Queen Bee title and how phony she comes off.

So it's not that I can't stand her. Just not too fond of her....

Re: Am I the only one who can't stand Beyonce?

I don't hate her. I'm all for a successful woman who can actual dance and sing and man can she out on a show

She is talented! And from things I seen/read she seems very generous

I think marrying him changed her/her style

But I can think of a million worse celebs than her

Besides the media is the one who crowns her all the nicknames etc

Re: Am I the only one who can't stand Beyonce?

I don't know how I feel either way because I don't listen to her music or follow anything positive of negative regarding her except for what I hear on here. I have some questions regarding her so I can better make a decision on choosing a side lol
Does she write her own lyrics and/or music?
Does she choreograph her dances and those of her back up dancers?
Does she design and/or pick out her own outfits?

Do I think she is beautiful? Yes. Stunning. But so would a lot of people if they had the money for the most beautiful clothes and an awesome stylist who specializes in picking out outfits for your body and ones that are in style.
She also has the time and money to hire the best personal trainers and nutritionists and chefs and nannies so that she has the time and know how to have the best body out there. I'm sure she doesn't do her own hair style, color, extensions, and cut and probably doesnt do her make up, nails, waxing, facials, teeth whitening, etc. plus can afford all of that.


All of those things are fine to me, all the celebs do all of that and if I had the money I would be partaking in all of that stuff to make me look like a super awesome version of myself as well but that being said, if she does all of that PLUS doesn't write her own lyrics or music and doesn't do her own dances then no, I don't find her amazing and awesome and talented. I find her entire army of helpers who put this package together including her publicist and everyone else included who helps market her and the package they are putting together awesome. I like what she is trying to put out about herself, that women can be strong, independent, fierce yet not be a *****, and can make it doing what they want if they work hard enough but I feel that whole message is lost if every single thing about her is fake or takes a ton of money a team of talented people to be a strong, independent woman. That's not getting somewhere on your talent alone. Who would like her if she lost all that money and couldn't afford to look how she did and could only be the absolute best that she could be using a middle to lower class salary and no team to produce an image but just using her own image and message? And is this even her message and her beliefs or is this the message that her team is putting out to help promote her?

But I think that the people are the ones that made them feel that sense of entitlement, no?
Just like Kim K. Everyone can't stand her and all the crap she apparently does...yet, she's making a ton of money because the people want to see her and buy all her crap.

Re: Am I the only one who can't stand Beyonce?

Here's a segment of a song called Mu(Sick) by Madiha Bhatti that I think sums up how I feel about a lot of female pop artists:




Yeah I watched a video the other day
Of my girl, Beyonce
She was draped in feathers and furs and things
Exaggerated makeup and big chunky rings
She was dancing in the desert, hair whipping wild
And I thought to myself
What does this look like to a child?
To see a woman belt about her power
While thrusting her hips to and fro
How will she know she can wear the pants in the house
When her idol doesn’t wear them in a video?
I mean on so many levels it makes me go ballistic
That we’ve consented to be portrayed as animalistic
Cuz one hand you’re exotic, you’re fierce, do no wrong,
On the other you’re a female dog in every song
I don’t want to be serenaded by my individual parts
Unless you can look past the flesh and talk about hearts
I mean does anyone even know that Beyonce’s smart?
Cuz “If she was a boy,” even just for a day
She wouldn’t have to crawl on all fours just to crawl up the charts
Or shed those fine furs
To grace a few album covers
Does her husband have that problem?
Apparently he’s got 99 others

And it sounds dramatic; maybe my skin should be tougher
But consider the history of women of color
Not valued as wives, or sisters or mothers
But used by men as unwilling lovers
When you think of the slaves who were used like instruments
You realize that society is progressing by mere increments
Just imagine the bodies covered in raw welts
And tell me it’s okay when black women are dressed in animal pelts
All those women who paid with their bodies to survive
200 years later are portrayed as sex-crazed and deprived
Please forgive me if I think music needs to be revived
Mu(sick)

Aging superstar. Used to be humble but now is on a pedestal waiting to fall when the world finds out she's not as amazing as they thought.

Nope, I havent liked her since she became a solo artist.

I think she is more hype than anything. I always thought Kelly and Michelle were more talented singers. I really feel Beyonce had the "bi-cultural look" and good team to make her as huge as she is.

ETA: She does seem arrogant and I dont believe any of that family display she does at the VMA's. It comes off as fake to me..

i don't think it's necessarily her that coined that title.. it's the media and her fans, just like justin bieber's fans are the beliebers.

Re: Am I the only one who can't stand Beyonce?

I have to say, I'm kind of shocked that just one person mentioned the fact that her child was watching her mommy bump and grind at her performance.

I found it disturbing. She's a child, seeing her mom with her legs wide open, grinding on a chaise lounge..her dancers are all showin their asses with their legs opening ... It was really disgusting.
Every time the camera went on Blue ivy, the child looks confused. How sad for the child to witness that. The baby should NOT have been there...

Beyonce is immensely talented and beautiful.

However, I cannot stand her with her 'bow down *******' BS. WHO are you, again? Talented, yes, but that doesn't give you carte blanche to act like an entitled ahole. And FFS, put on pants.

Nope. Don't like her. LOL. Can't stand the whole "Queen Bee" thing. I don't blame her though...I blame the people and media that gave her that name and call her, JayZ and Blue Ivy "The royal family"




I agree with this completely. I just dont understand the obsession. The only (and I mean the ONLY) song of hers that I can tolerate is Halo.
