    I agree with some of the things you said, but, Gaga HAD IT QUITE ROUGH, like, she had to work a lot (even many jobs at once) just to make enough money to do some demos and stuff, and even then, she was r@p3d by a music producer who told her if she spoke, he would ruin her whole career. So, I don't think is fair for you to say that she had it all in a silver spoon when in reality it wasn't like that.

Those named ICONS/LEDGENDS above in the real DAYS of earning those titles wrote their own music, performed and sang their own songs. They didn't have 28 writers on one song and didn't rip off other artist to make a buck plus it seems these days people are named icons and legends prematurely.

    Her talent as an entertainer (sing & dance) isn’t overrated, but the overview of her as an ARTIST (overall) definitely is. She is far from a phenomenal songwriter, producer, and composer- as she often has people in the studio who does that for her which is fine, because her talent is singing & dancing. Not all singers are songwriters/producers/composers. I just believe that people make her out to be phenomenal in all areas when she clearly isn’t besides singing & dancing. Her music post B’Day has been more of the same and either a hit or miss. Sasha Fierce & 4 were very meh and critically panned. BEYONCÉ (album) was more known and appreciated for it’s surprise drop than anything else. Lemonade is really her best project when it comes to solid lyrics, production, & composition. Renaissance is same old Beyoncé music just repackaged and produced to be Disco/Dance/House aligned. There’s nothing remotely standout or phenomenal about it besides that. To sum it up, she’s a entertainer (singing/dancing) but an average artist (songwriting/producing/composing).

    To be honest: The four of you don't make any good arguments yourselves.
    First, the integrity of the person is attacked (click bait, clout chaser), just because they have a different opinion. Then you imply that it's about skin color instead of skills.
    You criticize the lack of arguments about why Beyoncé is overrated, but don't make any yourselves about why she deserves her hype.
    Lady Gaga writes her own music. Before that, she wrote music for big name artists in the industry. Beyoncé on the other hand... let's put it this way: There are 104 credited songwriters for 'Renaissance'.
    Yes, she can sing. But so can many others. So why does she get this amount of adulation?
    I concede that her music shaped the musical landscape especially in the 2000s and 2010s. However, so have many others. And on top of that, 'her music' is not just *her* music, because back then she already had a lot of help and dozens of people doing the actual creative work for her. That in itself is not a bad thing - after all, many do it that way in the business.
    It's just that B is idolized to a degree that is disproportionate to her actual skills.

    Alright what gets me is the statement "Beyonce being overrated is objectivly not true, you are not real with yourself. Well then, I claim and stand by that Beyonce IS in fact objectively OVERRATED. Why? Lets explore it.
    Something being overrated doesn't mean that its bad but implies something is getting more praise and recognition than it deserves according to the things actual merit. In music we can quantify this by the music being groundbreaking, the complexity of the music, the frequent output of music from the artist, their ability to perform it and their personal ability to write it.
    First things first, Beyonce is a great performer, absolutely. Is her music groundbreaking and or complex to play, not really. It fits in rather well with the usual western pop sphere format for music. Complexity of a song is not a merit for quality but the ability to play and write complex music does show an understanding and mastering of the tools used to write the music. If you can write music difficult to play then you understand the building blocks for music regardless of the quality of the music.
    Beyonce only puts out one album every few years and they are always around the 40 minute mark. It may not be a sign of genius to be able to put out an album every year like ACDC did back in the day, however just how creative and is she really when her contribution to the music sphere is 40 minutes approximately every 5 years?
    So lastly, Beyonces ability to write music. Seriously just look at the credits list of just one of her albums. While Im fully aware that many of the credits are given due to sampling(which is fair enough) the fact that Beyonce wrote "If I were a boy" with a bunch of men says a lot to me because thats the song everyone is praising as the song only a woman could write and only Beyonce could be brilliant enough to write it. I do not doubt that Beyonce is involved in the process of crafting her own albums but to say that she is this genius song writing is very dishonest.
    With all this said she absolutely has a voice in the pop scene and in the general western culture and Im not trying to take away that from anyone. However I did see just today that some tickets in my city for a Beyonce show goes for 3 000 dollars. And so with all Ive just laid out I do hope most of us can admit that "Queen B" might just be a bit overrated.

    • @Ntyler01mil
      @Ntyler01mil Před rokem +5

      Excellent comment but let's be real: Beyonce is not that good of a performer. Her dancing is very sloppy. She just has power in numbers. It always works.

      @@girlbrittneygirl I was shocked. Whitney Houston is a very good dancer. I think she doesn't get recognition for her dance performances because in those times, it was a given. No one was going to go to a concert just to watch you stand there and sing songs. Oppositely, it's been said time and time again but it's the truth: Beyonce has no competitors. Her only rival would be Rihanna but they're not even in the same music genre nor carry the same aesthetic.
      It's ironic because I like Beyoncé's music more than Rihanna's, but as an entire package, I find Rihanna far more entertaining. Rihanna's persona and style of dress changes with each album. She can't dance nor sing worth a lick, but you can tell she is having a good time and enjoying herself on stage. Additionally, you don't hear too many Rihanna fans swearing she's the greatest of all time. They just acknowledge her for who she is and that's it. So Rihanna would not be considered an overrated artist.
      On the other hand, Beyoncé has been wearing the same blonde wig since Destined Child. Her style of clothing never changes too much. Her style of music changes but it's very trendy; it feels inauthentic. For example, when Black Lives Matter was an international movement, now she comes out with songs like "Brown Skin Girl" or lyrics like "I love my big nostrils". Like girl, bye. Your nose isn't even big. Then when her and Jay Z and Solange got into it, she writes one line in a song instead of actually addressing it to her fans. Additionally, her songs are extremely rude and offensive. "Bow down b*tches "? You've been singing and dancing literally since you were 9 or so and after nearly 30 years, that's the best you can write?
      I'm sorry but I find Beyoncé boring.

    I also find it funny how nobody has this debate about other people like Rihanna who doesn’t write AT ALL, can’t sing, can’t dance. But when you’re somebody as talented all around as Beyonce, while you’re living, you will get haters. MJ also had haters but people wouldn’t know that because he was already a legend before most of y’all were even born. You literally have to be a dead legend to not be called overrated. And the younger generations to come won’t dare call Beyonce overrated bc of her place in history and her music. Very similar to how young people who didn’t witness a single MJ concert and who were born after most of MJs hits were already released decades ago, wouldn’t dare to call him overrated. Even though some actually still do think he was. When you’re on top and considered the greatest, there will ALWAYS be naysayers. Even when actual credible people don’t feel that way.

    I have no social media to try and get clout on by saying that I also think Beyoncé is overrated. Objectively, she can clearly sing and she is a great entertainer/performer. But I personally don’t like her vocal tone and find it unenjoyable to listen to voice, despite liking some of the songs themselves (music, lyrics, etc.) I think there are far better singers out there who aren’t afforded the “cultural icon” label that Beyoncé’s fans give her.

    So, when I say this I'm not tryna be rude, but yes, Beyonce is really over rated. I mean, she has a good singing voice & she's a decent preformer, but that's where it all ends. She can't act or anything. She relies on soley on singing. A good chunk of her fanbase had put her on a god like status and it's really not needed.

    No she’s not overrated and everything people say to claim she is, is usually always false. Like the whole “she doesn’t write her own songs” when literally everyone she has worked with including Destiny’s child members are ON RECORD saying she writes and has written most of their hit records.
    Funny thing, I also thought she was overrated until about a month ago when I actually looked into her as an artist and a person and found out SOO much. She deserves every bit of hype she gets. She worked for it. She’s earned it. Period. What I hate is, people being up how nobody thinks MJ was overrated when that’s false AF. They are just too young and were not there. Ofc nobody today is going to call MJ overrated bc he’s dead and a legend. But people were vocal af about how Prince and Freddie Mercury were more talented and deserved the fame and how MJ was overrated. People don’t know sht istg. Hell, there are literal chat rooms and blogs having this discussion. You can literally look it up.

      Beyoncé is overrated because the body of her work doesn’t support all the hype she gets. Her singing ability is average her music is just pseudo hip hop / pop and r and b. The bottom line is she has a machine behind her like all these other pop stars that are out today like Jennifer Lopez who has no talent as a singer, but gets by on her looks. I just feel like there’s much more deserving artists out there that don’t even get a tenth of the attention that this chick gets that are 10 times more talented than her

    When it comes to Beyoncé, I don’t think she’s overrated at all. It’s just that there’s a disconnect when it comes to her perception or marketing per say.
    When people (Beyoncé fans) herald her as the cream of the crop, almighty goddess and all the other superlatives it’s done in a way which fails to humanise her.

    Beyonce is a performer. She wasn't even the best vocalist in Destiny's Child, so to say her vocals are "iconic" is definitely a reach. Can she sing? Of course, but she's safe as hell, doesn't branch out of her norm and does little if anything creatively with her range. Going into the creative side, she's not lol. She's just not. She has entire teams of song writers, lyricists, choreographers, fashion designers, stage directors etc....all who are paid to write her "iconic" material or create her performances. I mean, for fucks sake she's even had issues with giving people album/creative credits.
    All of that could be forgiven though if her fans didn't act like she was the second coming of Jesus, completely faultless and without sin. She's just a "good" performer. To hold her to the same standard as any of the other infinitely more iconic names throughout the history of music is to insult the concept of musicianship itself.

Beyonce and Jay Z are apart if the club, why else would we be forced to believe that Jay Z the greatest rapper to ever live when its not even close 😂😂😂 dude aint even top 30.

What narrative have you bought into that makes you think she’s a legend or a genius? Beyoncé was basically built by an amazing PR team and her 20 song writers. Doesn’t seem to talented now eh?

And this is obv bc it’s on record by members of Destinys child that SHE wrote their hit records. Which is why she won songwriter of the year. She’s also on record being stated by many others to have a great musical ear and to be INCREDIBLY involved in writing her music. And she doesn’t have a team of 20 writers either.

    I agree with you all to a point. I also don’t think that we were or have been able to get more “Beyoncés” because of the industry idea there can only be one and the way her and her team horde resources for her use specifically. Her father and team took out her immediate competition early on and the girls have never been able to rally and regroup ever since. That being said, I think Renaissance has the potential To show us Beyoncé in an a way many have called for since she entered the scene, which is raw and getting emotional while also being completely original. I’m excited for the visuals of the album.

There is also another important fact to note: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, H.E.R. and Bey (IASF/Beyonce/Lemonade) have all tied for 3 albums each that have been nominated in the category for AOTY, if Renaissance receives an AOTY nomination, she will break the tie and be the only BW artist with 4 albums with an AOTY nomination with zero wins.

    She’s way too overrated these days. Maybe in the “Upgrade U” era it was great and if she kept the same momentum it would be great but all her music sounds the same now.

      Upgrade you lyrically is trash, imagine artists doing a tribute to her 30 years from now and including that song uggh, it's trash.

    I’m glad he said that. A lot of non black peoples didn’t start knowing Bey until lemonade! They do not know her stuff. They don’t know what work she puts ib. They actually don’t know anything. They are just mad.
    How is lady Gaga, someone who started in this industry way later than Bey, the queen. She literally hasn’t even put the same time and achieved the same to earn that.
    There’s an old interview of Bey from 2002 where she says that she won’t name herself queen. She said she has to earn it. She did exactly that.

      No true. White people loved Single Ladies.

      Even Crazy in Love was known by quite a few white people

    All I heard was feelings and nostalgia. I don’t think anyone is saying that she isn’t talented, like girl can move her feet and blow her horn FOR SURE. If she doesn’t write her own shit, then she can only sing and dance with a little sprinkle of directing projects lol. Hell I even hear people saying she can’t act for shit which I don’t agree with, but she IS overrated. Her songs are not mind blowing. Her lyricism can’t EVER be compared to nicki’s. She makes mediocre pop sound like gold so I get why she gets so much hype. PLUS she caters to both house wives and feminists alike.

      Her lyrics suck, compare Rhthym nation by Janet to Beyonce, formation song, tell me who's lyrics are better, and both have a uptempo beat you can dance too
