Why didn't Beyoncé's 4 receive the criticism that ARTPOP did?

[RodeckDanny 2,450]

Because Beyonce is less controversial

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

4 went platinum for one, and people were calling her a flop but I feel like people went harder on Gaga because she's an easier target.

[Memo 176]

I mean the media, not success stans on forums.

Because she is Beyoncé the Goddess of perfection that doesn't makes mistakes, just success with slight flaws  

[Jenniferella 2,774]

 I would disagree. But you are pretty hot so,

​Oh, well....maybe you're right after all 

[ViviLittleM 3]

I'm sorry but '4' was more successful than ARTPOP.

1,95M copies VS 3M+

[Yanko 9,860]

it actually went platinum in usa  and it sold 3 million

 

try again

Because Beyonce is "fierce", an "inspiration", and, most of all, she is "original"

Gaga, on the other hand, is a "gimmick" and a menace to the well being of society

That is how I think people see Gaga and Beyonce who are not their fans are as invested in their careers as many of us are. TBH, they need to calm their chill

[Swan Heart 7,382]

Beyonce is.. Beyonce. And everyone thinks she is perfect like Jesus' MANiCURE..

And Gaga is.. Gaga. And everyone wanted to see her fall down because they are jerks.

Simple as that.

Because Beyonce is the most overrated person in history. 

​This "overrated" thing is so old omg. She is a talented vocalist, a hard working performer, good dancer, kind and is very charismatic (and I'm looking at the person you used in your emoticon with most of these points). So just because she gets her deserved praise, doesn't make her overrated. 

 

On Topic: Maybe because 4 is an album which is very easily digestible. ARTPOP is godly, but you have to be willing to listen to it with an open minded. 

Also, Bey didn't make 4 sound like really artistic stuff, while as Gaga did. 

(I mean, was there a single bad song on either side of that album?)

​You and I both know ARTPOP cracked around 2.5 Mil when we look at official sites, not sites run by random bloggers. 

 

[Lion Heart 15,041]

Because the album is actually good  

 

 

 

 

Jk.. She's Beyonce and no one is allowed to criticize her  

[Yanko 9,860]

the album actually got some grammys too
