I think Beyonce emotes fine. She's not always in-your-face emoting, but she's perfectly capable of it:
1+1 rehearsal
Listen @ Oprah
Speechless
If I Were A Boy
Acoustic Sweet Dreams
The bridge on Cater 2 U
Start Over
I Was Here
And I really don't know why "emotive" is generally associated with "soulful" or "ballad" when tracks like "Upgrade U" have a particular delivery of sass and attitude that would equally qualify. She has tons of tracks that suffice using that example.
