I guess. GW's issue is that it's too long and just goes nowhere. I love the verses, but the chorus just drags and drags.

The beat seems plain, the chorus drags, too long and not much changes on her style there.

Catching up on what I missed, and of course everyone's talking about 4. Again.
Ya'll can't FATHOM the notion of a fanbase liking an album despite it not selling well. An album that's one of the LOWEST PERFORMING RELEASES by any major pop act, and yet it still outsold Britney Spears' last effort, someone that NOBODY in here would DARE say is actually a washed up, untalented shell of her former self.
Beyonce's fine. She ain't checking for radio, or for you. She's on tour doing what she loves. She spent the first half of her career owning radio and the charts, but she's not checking for that right now. If she wanted to make LESS money doing what her contemporaries are doing, then she would. The DELUSION that her not getting back in the radio game is somehow a DEFICIT to her success... get a clue. Success is money, and despite your sad attempts at making her out to somehow be unsuccessful or a failure, that doesn't change the fact that she is currently one of the two most successful pop stars right now. The other is Gaga. Yes, the metric for success is money at the end of the day, and regardless of how well or poorly 4 sold, or how long Bey's out of the radio spotlight, she's still at the top of the game. She doesn't have to release another hit for the rest of her life, and she'll still be considered an icon. She can retire today and she'll still be considered one of the most influential names in music history. And I know that really, really, reaaaaally sucks for all of you, because you really enjoy using the top female in the pop scene as a punching bag to soothe your own insecurities about your respective faves, but this shit stops.
Go after people who really actually suck, not people who have their shit together. Like that one female who evidently "can't hold a conversation," who can't bother to sing live or dance well, make media appearances or give honest interviews, but is completely okay with charging her naive fans hundreds of dollars to watch her saunter her lazy ass around the stage like John McCain. Or are you boys too scared of Kyon to say it?

Dang. Not surprised that I missed the hype train that rolled through here. Glad to see that other gaffers love them.

Yeah, we've been kind of split on Aluna's vocals, but generally everyone appreciates George's production skills. They have a bright future if their debut is anything to go off of.

I hope you are both able to attend the celebratory dinner at the Red Lobster afterwards
If we're going to talk about money then you're opening the floodgates for me to spill all sorts of tea on how Beyonce's been pimping herself out like a 2 dollar whore for anyone and anything to get an endorsement since she was 17, the absolute sewer-level moral code and sense of social responsibility she and her husband have, and how she's a fucking disgrace and should be strung up for having the audacity to consider herself a role model. The Carters are slime, and you'd be surprised at how little I'm joking when I harp on that.
Best to stick to how good of a performer she is.
Its funny how the Trashana stans are now all against the King after the prior months leading to the superbowl they were all on their knees worshiping her, obviously because they knew she would deliver a performance unmatched by the sewer rat. Even so when the snippets of new music would arrive those same knees would hit the floor, it is obvious they know deep down that King B is superior to their fave even though they try to convince themselves otherwise with receipts. But then why do these cretins attack so vicious at the presence of Beyonce's name if when she is set to slay they play a different note. Is it because the King is able to hold an audience with her elegance and talent, is it because she is able to sell out a tour without putting any recent material while their so call fave struggles to outgross Bey on her 7th album with xx amount of singles, or is it because of the short attention span that they have that requires their fave to release material annually it would explain the frustration they hold towards Beyonce shortly after a sense of an album delay is brought up. One has to wonder

I think that even Kyon has given up on Britney. WHat's there to defend?
Brit's face should be pictured next to the definition of a "washed up star"
All people would go like "Ooooh, that's what it means"
Ooh la la.

I don't understand. The #Navy has no reason to be jealous of any of this.
Beyonce is on a sold out tour. So is Rihanna.
Beyonce is set to slay. Rihanna is slaying. Present participle.
Rihanna is at 100% sell out. Beyonce is not.
That Beyoncé is going to outgross Rihanna from a tour of a flop album?

Tea was never so piping hot.
How very unusual that you all go full stan at every leaked song of hers or mere announcement, and yet if she's off the radar for more than a week then it's open season. Truly says a lot about her impact and power... she just needs to show up and everyone's all ears.
Not to mention she's outgrossing your faves and without even a new album to help push it. Now that's some real power.
Obviously not somebody who's studied history I see.
Well of course. Beyonce IS a legacy act at this point. I can't stand Beyonce, but even I'm not surprised by her ability to sell out a tour at this point in her career. It's just the reality of the thing.
But for the time being Bey IS just a touring act. That's the Lipton that simply must be sipped. She ain't doing shit right now outside of touring and whoring out for endorsements.
Meanwhile, Rihanna is a touring force in her own right, while ALSO enjoying her title as the most radio-relevant chick in the biz.
Like, Rih has literally ZERO reason to be jealous of Bey. And the continued insistence that she does is probably why that fanbase gets so riled up.

They won't hear you though.
Are people scared of Kyon? Kyon is a sweetie.
I almost want to agree with you but that remains to be seen. If she sees 4 levels of success with her upcoming material, I think I won't be able to contest this point.

The Hive doesn't have anything for or against Rihanna; they only get annoyed when #Navy made the random decision that Rihanna somehow replaced Beyonce, as if only one of them are allowed to exist in the business at a time and they MUST be compared because of it.
As I've said numerous times before, Rihanna has more in common with Gaga, Katy and Ke$ha than she does with Beyonce. They've very different acts. One excels in the studio, the other excels live. One is more radio pop and the other is traditional R&B.
I had no real opinion on Rihanna until people here decided to be buttholes and saying that she's phased Beyonce out. So course my reaction was ".... her?" They're simply not competing for the same share anymore. Rihanna has a share that Beyonce held for a long time, and Beyonce gave that up. Rihanna took it. That's it.
I'm sure that Rihanna doesn't check for Beyonce and Beyonce doesn't check for her either. In fact they're probably good friends.

Kii at you channeling a certain member of POPGAF and stanning a POPSTAR you hate to drag another one you hate.
I would take this post seriously, but there is absolutely no point.
Stop the personal attacks.
I don't mind teasing, but I am tired of the posts that come across as mean-spirited. I do not care if you do not mean it; it bothers me nonetheless. This is not an issue for a single person; this is an issue for a number of people
I'm not going to name names. If you are being a problem and you lack the self-awareness to recognize this, perhaps you will achieve enlightenment while you are banned. I also will not establish exactly where the line is. If I did, there would be those few people who would try to live on the line. I'm not having that.

What a mess.
This is a jam. The chorus is a bit weak, but it doesn't fall flat like Baby I does. Should have been the 2nd single.
Now why would you want to lead off the track with such a weak-ass whistle?

She's serving me EVERYTHING here. That Crystal Kay turn of the millennium vibe is probably my favorite kind of R&B.
Other than the whistle register and the background self-harmonizations, this doesn't strike me as a Mariah leftover in the slightest. It reminds me more of that incredible, once-in-a-lifetime era of J-Pop that perfectly melded R&B and pop.
I'm 100% here for her album now. I'm officially on board - she knows herself as an artist and that artist has touched me exactly where I needed tickling just right now.
Well, a Mariah leftover would require that she have a half-decent whistle and the ability to do background self-harmonizations, so I see your point.
Hew cares for Applause and Roar when Drake just dropped THE EFFIN' JAM!!!
Yassss this is what I wanted from Drakesus!!! Bring on "Nothing was the same"
