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

Because the album was irrelevant. There was no hype at all since the first single flopped and killed all great expectations.

because she is the most overrated singer out there and it was cool to hate on gaga and ARTPOP by calling it artflop.......and it looks like it still is

I've got an "F" and a "C" and I got a "K" too And the only thing that is missing is a bitch like "U"

Beyonce is more commercial. She's presented as a likable person who makes catchy music. Lady Gaga was popular most when her public image and persona wasn't quite exposed yet. After The Fame Monster  Lady Gaga became a very divisive figure which only continued into the Born This Way era. Gaga has been considered an innovator and that comes with criticism. It's quite obvious her critics were hoping she'd fail so when ARTPOP "underperformed" the took the inch they were given and made it into a mile, calling it a flop.

There are many reasons why.

But to say those I have to compare my two faves which the thougjt of it makes me sick to my stomach, so I rather not :fan:

Let's just say, they have similiar situation that time, parting with their long time manager.

Bey with her dad, Gags with Troy.

So both of them were maybe trying to find their direction back and as for Bey, she finally did and is winning when her next album which we know now as BEYONCÉ released.

I am confident Gags will too.

Because AP's performance was under the GP's expectation. She was an unstoppable force since JD and this major fall did it for the hate to spill. Also, Beyonce established that she has talent ever since the start of her career whereas the public only fully realized Gaga's talent on the Oscars. :zilla:

Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊

"4" is Bey's best album. Maybe it didn't receive a ****load of criticism because it fully delivered as an album?

EDIT: Before anyone jumps on me, I'm not having a go at Gaga. Just saying that "4" really delivered quality-wise, impressed critics. Yeah, plenty of "stans" were mad it wasn't Sasha Fierce 2.0, but overall it was a solid and respectable album. ARTPOP wasn't widely appreciated for being a quality album, however.

 I would disagree. But you are pretty hot so,

:flirt:

​Oh you're the one who had Jamie Dornan as your ava. It's such a coincidence that I'm quite into Anthony these days.

1.- It is a good album

2.- lmao, I gues you were not on ggd 1.0 when the album leaked. NO ONE liked the album at the beginning (we can count exceptions) mostly because it was a solid R&B and basic b---hes wanted uptempos a la I Am... Sasha Mess

3.- maybe because Beyonce doesnt say "millenium album" or **** like that, not even joking, she lets her art talks for himself

because 4 is a timeless quality album people can appreciate 

ARTPOP is all about generic edm beats and sounded outdated from the very beginning

​eh, 4 is a lot more indie than ARTPOP which is, well, pure pop

​Nah, I don't agree with this at all. I don't think 4 is in the slightest bit "indie". Not even in spirit. Its purely commercial but done in a very respectable way harking back to classic R&B.

ARTPOP is pure pop, as I said in my previous post, but there is nothing on 4 that is as challenging (or challenging at all) to commercialized music as Swine or Venus. For better or for worse. Thats not said to brand Gaga this progressive genius in music that fully rebelled against the popular with the record, I just think in comparison to 4, ARTPOP was more challenging. Whereas 4 was more classic.
