Is Beyonce's career diminishing?

[MelbHawker 6,583]

Yas, she's now BEYnign lmao


No her fandom is massive and her fanbase is loyal. Her brand is growing. She cannot be toppled. Queen

Beyonce is in between eras. I'm sure she will come back when she is ready and sell lots of albums and have success with her singles, at least on Urban formats and in the R&B world...and have another highly successful tour.

Beyonce is only successful in the USA, 2 years in Europe here and I've never heard her on the radio or saw her videos on tv.. both in France and Italy.

She's a nice performer but not someone to follow.. it's only a nice dance moves, diva attitude and a fake feminism..

Her songs are kinda the same, especially lyrically.

 

1.) You say she's only successful in the US yet most of her dates from her last solo tour were in Europe and she grossed $41M there. Hmmm, that's pretty successful. 

 

2.) She's easily among the Top 5 best performers of our time. Critics have hailed her as one of the best performers one our time so I don't think you're correct there either. 

 

3.) Oh so you're telling me 7/11 sounds like Halo? Let's compare them lyrically, shall we?

 

Halo

Everywhere I'm looking now,

I'm surrounded by your embrace.

Baby I can see your halo.

You know you're my saving my grace.

You're everything I need and more,

It's written all over your face.

Baby I can feel your halo,

I pray it won't fade away. 

 

7/11

Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air
Legs movin' side to side, smack it in the air
Legs movin' side to side, smack you in the air
Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air
Smack it, smack it in the air
Legs movin' side to side, smack it, smack it in the air
Smack it, smack it in the air

 

Those are almost exactly the same! V hard to tell the difference between the two! Wow! I always confuse those lyrics!

No, I think she will be fine. She's pretty respected by a lot of artists in the industry and seems to get almost constant praise in the media. When her next album hits I'm sure it will do very well, but even if not at the least her tour will be praised (she is a consistantly solid live act and a definite crowd pleaser). She also has a very large and loyal fan base. I think the thing we have to remember about her is that she has been in the industry for quite a while and is the fresh new "IT" girl, because of this there isn't massive amounts of hype from her management and label trying to build and keep a momentum going. She's already established the type of artist she is and people have an idea about what to expect, so there isn't as much focus on her (that and she is in between cycles and projects). 

The only thing I've noticed is my flop local pop station apparently never heard any songs by her other than Say My Name or Crazy in Love. We have the laziest DJs.

It's fun because people think that Beyonce is relevant but she haven't had an Applause sized hit in the US since 2008-9

Lmao you really wanna go there? 

5 years into Gaga's career - Applause was her biggest hit for that era.

5 years into Beyoncé's solo career - Single Ladies.

 

Single Ladies steps on, eats for breakfasts and destroys Applause, so let's not.

but what about her song with coldplay? it wasn't recognized at all basically, neither was her song with naughty boy. 

I don't think every song she does has to be huge for her to be relevant. I thought she was over after 4 (even though I love that album but HATE that name) but then BEYONCE happened and I was proven wrong. So I'm only expecting it to continue.

It's stupid to make these comparsions..Because 1)we are talking about the PRESENT. I never stated that Beyonce didn't have a big career. ..Madonna is not relevant now. That doesn't mean that she wasn't HUGE in the past. 2)Every artist has a different career.. Beyonce for example had "4" exactly after Sasha Fierce that didn't even have a decent hit and then she made Beyonce that was big in album-sales and had a decent hit. Gaga's third era (BTW) was a lot bigger than "Sasha Fierce" is you want to see it that way. And I am sure that  Gaga's next album will be a lot bigger than ARTPOP

1. it's so easy to sold out for a USA performer in Europe, even Rebecca Black can do it lol

I was talking about the radio plays and music videos plays on the channels.. she's nowhere to be found there..

2. So? critics says what they want, I don't have to agree with them..

My opinion is not something "correct" or not, it's an opinion, maybe all the world can like something, but I don't, because some things bothers me..  and it's fine and you don't need to be aggressive with me

3. Halo sounds like every love song of hers, and 7/11 is the exact copy of Get Me Bodied..

Again, I find her songs very similar, it's not a crime.

 

And why you are taking so personal and so aggressive with me? lol it's not like she's going to defend you or me when we need.. she's only making money from us and getting rich like every other singer in the world

she'll do fine , i see her doing well till 40 

what i predict her next album will sell 

1st week: 300k-500k

Worldwide: 5 Million 

Singles: one or two top 10 hits maximum 

Video Views: two videos will reach 300Million others will be slightly lower 

 

Although this is what i predict for LG5

1st week: you can almost be sure she's going to secure 500k, i just hope we can hit the 1Million mark 

Worldwide: 8 Million 

Singles: one number 1 song (almost sure of it) , perhaps another number 1 song if were lucky if not then up till single 4 i think she can score a top 10 , single 5 will need promo to make occupy the top 10 otherwise top 20 

Video views: i think this is the era Gaga can get her 1Billion views video with either single 1 or 2

i don't feel Gaga is going to release more than 5 singles so i say single 1 and 2 hit 500M views one of them hopefully reaching the 1 Billion mark after a year, single 3 and 4 hit 300M views and single 5 hits 200M views.

okay but even her collaborations aren't garnering that much public attention.

They don't have enough promo behind them or they aren't singles, etc. I'm sure it will all be a different situation when we get to her next solo era. 

[elijahfan 24,877]

I would have thought so after her "4" album, but she very intelligently switched things up with "BEYONCÉ". I'd say she's professionally in a really good place right now, her next record will smash.

exactly people saying this could say the same of Lady Gaga... I mean most of the GP think Gaga hasn't done anything since Applause,maybe even before (apart AHS maybe lol) 

I think Beyoncé set herself quite high with BEYONCE, she tried something very daring with that kind of release. I think Gaga is in a very good place too. Bookmark me, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga are the next two hit artists in 2016.
