The way we feel about Beyoncé right now is the same exact way other fan bases felt about Gaga back at her peak, she had everything and dwarfed every other fan base, it's why other fan bases tend to dislike us

Lady Gaga was never overrated tho even at her peak gaga constantly get bashed by media and GP that shes just a act , cant sing and a industry product  just like any pop girl gaga was labelled as untalented unoriginal a lot of people dont even know she wrote her own music and it continues and continues more and more people will appreciate gagas talent and her idea and crieativity 

I still have hope

My problem with her is that she's repetitive. She's indeed talented but I've always admired artists that refuse to make the same thing over and over (Gaga, Bjork... Even Madonna who I definitely don't stan is more interesting than Bey for me). That forced "fierce" attitude and the bland feminism, like she's so trite to me I swear.

Her last WW hit was... Telephone! Sorry Bey you're overrated af and relevant only in the US!

Adele's fans should give Beyhives a lesson

When you ask about in other countries, some would only recognize her. Lady Gaga on the other hand, they know her for being GAGA (not necessarily about her music but about her relevance in flashy pop). I rest my case. Beyonce is popular in America, Gaga (by her name alone) could be recognized by almost all countries.

Not when Taylor Swift and Adele outsell her.

she is as global as Gaga is

Her work is not overrated as she deserves it, she is a really hard worker (she doesn't write her lyrics but she is a brilliant performer). What's overrated is her person. I really think she is not that nice and innocent.

The human voice is an instrument, and she is very well trained in that department. I think she has an interesting creative process too, people criticise her for having a bunch of writers but it's clear that she is the creative director mixing and matching melodies, productions, lyrics and themes that she likes. 

I very much like The Guardian's piece on this issue: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/28/beyonce-lemonade-lesson-collaboration-robert-plant-karen-o-kendrick-lamarr-jack-white-mnek

"The myth of the solitary genius means that creative collaging is a sorely underrated skill. Some people still maintain that the worth of a song is in inverse proportion to the number of credited writers.... It’s bogus logic of course. For one thing, self-reliant auteurs such as Prince and Grimes who write, perform and produce every note themselves, have always been anomalies in a sociable art form that requires many different skillsets. For another, it assumes that it takes much less talent to marshall a diverse range of contributors than it does to do it all yourself. In fact it takes exceptional taste, conviction and imagination to choose the right people, get the best out of them, and then weave their ideas into a cohesive whole. We don’t think less of a director because they need hundreds of people to help them make a movie; we admire them for keeping so many plates spinning."


I think Beyonce is an incredible artist with an exceptional amount of talent. She is very well trained and is an absolute perfectionist. I watched a documentary about her preparing for her tour and it was like Beyonce there working throughout the day and night with several workers coming and going because their shifts had started and ended. It was her directing everything, making sure the stage, the lighting, the choreography, the intros, the sound, the band was all perfect.

She works hard, she has incredible talent and she deserves to be regarded as one of the greats imo  

YES , "BUNCH OF WRITERS " =72 WRITERS + 20 PRODUCERS SO TELL ME MORE ABOUT HER CREATIVITY PLS

Maybe she is. I love Queen B, but if you are going to ask middle easterns or south asians if they know Beyonce, probably they don't. Gaga on the other hand, they will immediately say crazy.

She's the biggest superstar on the planet, period, but fans like that are annoying.

Madonna, Rolling Stones, AC/DC, U2 etc etc, she is not the biggest superstar on the planet

 You seem to have missed the point completely so why bother?

[Bam 1,695]

Let's not put hate on Beyonce's songwriting please? It only generates hatred. Tell Whitney she's not talented, she doesn't even write a damn lyric (that I know of). Nor Aretha, nor Elvis, nor whoever. If your talent is writing, great. If singing great. If both, why not.

 

(I meant majority of their songs are not written by them)

[Hades 27,980]

She's one of the greatest performers on this generation but i don't like her ''persona'' anymore. She seems so untouchable etc. 

I prefer Gaga because she's closer to her fans for example.

"crazy", being disliked, is not being global, at least not in the proper sense of it. We could say that Justin Bieber is the most global artist if we go by that, since everyone knows him and all the straight chimpanzees call "gay looking" boys JB.
