Anyone else who can't stand Beyoncé?

B*yonc* is cool i like her, I just can't stand her fans. The peehive is honestly a disgrace, they're so vicious and willing to attack any female artist who may be seen as threat to b*y

A Beyoncé hater on GagaDaily? Color me suprised, what an unique opinion to have

[Denys 848]

You problem with Beyoncé is that she's not as intelligent as her songs, honestly that's my problem too, she's really pretentious but damn! God knows I know she's a good vocalist and a great performer but also an opportunist like tay tay, she's just another pop star who stands for nothing and stands for everything at her convenience. Honestly am not pressed about her success cos she's not that successful as Gaga was in her imperial era, let's talk when she can rule fashion, charts, performance, dominate pop culture and bring in ratings like gaga did years back... again I am not pressed I just think no other successful artist has it all at the same time right now

So, I know there's flame bait rules on here or whatever. I'm not trying to attack anyone as a person- I don't know Beyoncé personally and have nothing to say about who she is, what kind of a wife or mom, etc...I also totally respect anyone who is a fan of hers and even love some of her music.

In fact, I used to be a huge fan of hers but since 2013 she has become really unlikable to me as an entertainer and...brand. 

She was so hyped up around the Super Bowl, which is expected, but after that people treated her like a god. Stans online always seem to forget her album 4 was viewed as a flop, producing no hit singles. She's also had many singles miss the Top 10 and 20. I'm not all about charts, but everyone thinks she's so untouchable when she's only had 2 Top 10 hits since 2010 (I believe). 

Everyone says she's a great performer. I don't disagree, but I don't think she's the best. Nor do I think she's very creative. She just sings and dances. No instruments. In fact, she lipsynchs a lot as well. I find it really disrespectful how she lip synched at the inauguration. 

Finally, she just doesn't seem genuine to me. Again, I'm not trying to attack her character but she used to be kind of relatable and someone I could see as a friend when listening to her party songs or breakup songs. Now everything seems so secretive and calculated. Very attention seeking and planned out. 

Its just my opinion, and I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way. I'm not "pressed" that she's successful, I just don't get why people put her on such a pedestal. Often times the replies are just "because she's BEYONCÉ!!!" Or "she's the queen" but what's she the queen of? 

I will say I think it's great that she talks about issues in America as a Black women and has helped bring attention to that issue. But she so rarely actually speaks or gives a candid interview it's hard to tell where her heart is. People accuse Gaga of just using the LGBT community for attention, but sometimes it feels like Beyoncé uses social issues for personal gain and then is relatively silent.

OK, there are several things I don't agree with here, I don't know where to start, so bare with me:

Madonna hasn't had, really, any hits this decade, and she's untouchable. What makes Beyonce, an artist of equal caliber and talent who came into the game only a decade later, any different? Why must she be constantly present in the charts to be considered "untouchable"? Gaga's reaching untouchable status, and hasn't had but a few hits this decade. Gaga/Madonna/other comparisons aside, every song from Lemonade charted on BBH100, and a select few had very strong radio presence. The songs themselves were a little more left-field than what was popular at the time, not quite fitting into one box or genre of music, so obviously they didn't storm the charts, but I can still turn on the radio and hear "Flawless", "Partition", "Drunk in Love", "Formation", "Hold Up", and "Sorry" at any given moment. I think that's concrete evidence that Beyonce is omnipresent within music and her impact reaches far beyond chart positions, so her sitting in the Top 10 for weeks on end isn't even an issue at this point. She's paid her dues. She's proven herself, and now she's catering to her fans by making the music that she herself loves.

Beyonce also uses live instruments in her tours, and has her own female backing band, the Suga Mamas. Might wanna read up on them and get that jush, because it's a beautiful story:

The "doesn't seem genuine"... like? Where do you people make assumptions like this from? Because if we're exposed to the same media, the same articles, the same everything, i think she comes off incredibly likable, sweet, AND genuine. She's a private person, you can't fault her for this. I've literally never seen a plethora of articles about people meeting her and saying anything but great things about her - unlike a favorite of mine, Christina Aguilera, and a not-so-favorite of mine, miss Taylor Swift. Like I've said previously, she has paid her dues. 

I find her stage shows and her albums in general very creative, so that's a matter of personal opinion. Maybe you only can consider one thing creative, but I see it flourishing in different colors and forms. She's an artist, she grows, she changes - she's no more calculated than any of your other favorites, and that's truly the tea. She's just pulling all the strings now and doing what she wants, how she wants, when she wants, with who she wants. That should be praised, not vilified, especially for a black woman in America.

I find her music relatable in so many ways, so again, obviously another personal opinion. Maybe you've just glossed over her last few albums, but the material is very riveting and hits home.

Beyonce also has nothing to do with the - many times, other gay/LGBT - people who say Gaga uses us for attention and success. There is no correlation there. Beyonce also doesn't have to wave around what causes she supports or any of that; she can work behind the scenes and get just as much accomplished.

In the end, I never see a list of sources on "Reasons Beyonce Sucks", so it all chalks up to personal opinion and taste. If that's not what you're into, then great, wonderful. But for the rest of us who appreciate her impact and artistry, and see her as a genuinely amazing human being, I believe that's enough for us.

Right? It's almost like these threads never get posted. Unpopular opinion alert.

[DavidJP 737]

I give her credit because shes an amazing performer but I think her newer music is really terrible. I dont get the hype but she knows how to perform 

[Esteban 2,300]

She is an amazing perfomer but i can't accept the bad treatment of her employees in Asia (for her clothin brand) so yes i can't stand her because she is not the nice and authentic woman she pretends. She speaks a lot about her politic statement (against discrimination, racism) but she does the contrary... And don't tell me she is not aware of the bad conditions of this workers, she is the boss and if we know of course she knows.

[DeleteMyAccount 11,881]

It's not really anything to get worked up about tbh. 

[Anduin 1,034]

No

Love her.

I've seen a lot of people and personalities like Wendy Williams saying "she can't speak" but i'd like to know why ?

I heard it's because she's soo smart and being soo smart can result in that if that makes sense. I can't explain it in any other way   

[Delusional Aura 5,129]

To be fair she does use black culture to her advantage but she's black so it's cool. Other people won't recognize it. However, she is the most talented performer at the moment and the most relavant pop star after adele.

I am not a hater. I've seen her live 4 times, have a selfie with her. In recent years I've just found her and the hype to be unbearable which is all I politely stated!
