2007 5,291 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Defiantly ARTPOP (and not because gaga is my fav), beyonce is overrated as **** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan 0 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Applause, Venus, ARTPOP, Sexxx Dreams, Aura and Dope say hi! . The productions you are refering aren't even that fresh and groundbreaking as you make them seem imo. (except from Partition maybe) And I say bye lol. And the productions on ARTPOP aren't fresh or groundbreaking either since a bunch of them were just taken from unknown acts or they sound like a rip off (ARTPOP being a low rate LYLALS by Selena Gomez...). Anyway it's my opinion and it won't change. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown A 64 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Beyoncé is a solid album , i would say they are equal . Beyoncé is so real but on the other hand ARTPOP is unreal . If you know what i mean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOriginalOne 10,692 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I haven't listened to anything on BEYONCÉ expect for Drunk In Love so I can't really say anything. But I'd probably like ARTPOP better anyways just because it's more my taste. That's not to undermine the quality of BEYONCÉ though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanLights 15,576 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 ARTPOP for sure. BEYONCÉ is an ok album at best. The suprise release caused way to muc hype. The music doesn't seem to have the quality it should. People are excusing the mediocre music for a smart promotional plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teo 609 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I love Beyone(the album too ) But I hae to say ARTPOP. There are a lot of songs on Beyonce I don't like, imo 4 was way better. ARTPOP on the other hand is flawless from start to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djBuffoon 12,117 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I completely accept BEYONCÉ's utter dominance of the universe at the moment, and I don't begrudge her any bit of it. I think she is a dazzling performer and virtuosic singer. But I have listened to that album twice and it does absolutely nothing for me. "XO" is indeed a gorgeous song, beautifully written with comparatively restrained vocals that do the song justice. The rest, to my ears, is either repetitive or atonal (sometimes both i.e. "Drunk in Love"), as if the people who wrote it had never assembled a complete song before. This might come off too harsh. But really, I respect this album more than I could actually like it. Of course, my answer will always be ARTPOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think Beyonce has such an amazing voice but am I the only one that thinks the songs she's recording are nowhere near as listenable compared to her older stuff? They all sound thrown together and lyrically aren't on par to me Therefore ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCMXCIII 22 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've always thought of Beyoncé as overrated only because it was a surprise release and you can tell because when it was released many people bought it before even listening to the music properly.... Here's why, Beyoncé adapts to what is trendy right now. To be honest, many of the songs are growers and pretty catchy and "out there" but I noticed that every single listening session it becomes bland and outdated. If the Beyoncé campaign had been the campaign used for "4" it would have sold way less albums. Now ARTPOP, (although not sounding as fresh as Beyoncé due to the fact that it took too long to be released) takes from a wide range of genres, and even though it's been what.. 5 months after it's release, still gets to me in levels and I can easily feel the energy and happiness that the album was made with. ARTPOP might not be the game changer we expected it to be but at least it feels fun, and that's what makes it a great album. In a few words Beyoncé lacks the energy and "beast" that ARTPOP's got. Many people aren't able to tell this because of all the money that was invested into the Beyoncé project, but let's say that if ARTPOP got the same treatment, people would be going nuts over it. Plus the imagery for Beyoncé was less agressive than ARTPOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

migamiga 12,101 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think both are great, but obviously I prefer ARTPOP. I actually think both albums are pretty similar- I don't think it's either of the artists' best work, but solid and some of my favorite songs from them come from those albums. ARTPOP is much more of a loud, aggressive, rave-r type album. Whereas BEYONCE is a "grown woman comfortable with her s-xuality/feminist" album with some great experimental R&B and hiphop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
