How on earth does that stiff, unnatural pose read as effortless to you?

Looks like someone caught her in the middle of feeding pigeons.

Erm, are you sure that's not a 20-year old photo?

.

I hope not, it mentions nipplegate, two divorces, and Michael's death. Why would they use an old photo for a new article?

It's from 1993

This is what she looks like recently:

Don't try it.

New music: Say Lou Lou - Peppermint

This is the first song of theirs that didn't click immediately, but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

I loved the slow-motion shots in the West Coast video, they were amazing. Btw, who directed the video? There's nothing on the Wikipedia page.

VEVO have deleted the video. Apparently there was an error and uploaded the wrong version.

[H E W] the hell is in charge of this? First the messy iTunes release and now this crap. #sabotage.

I thought it was Vincent Haycock but in the VEVO page said Sophie Muller.

Nice. Just look at her videography, it's really impressive, some of my favorite music videos were directed by her. I don't see Lana's video on the list, but it probably hasn't been updated yet.

I'll partially agree with Supermanisdead, the video could have been a bit more exciting, but on the other hand, I think it serves the song well. It's atmospheric enough, nothing too flashy... It's a solid music video.

Going to see some legends tomorrow night! I'm taking my Mom for Mother's Day. I hope she can handle it.

Lewinsky points out that Bey made a bad attempt at creating a verb for the action. In the essay she thanks Beyoncé for the reference but let’s her know that “if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d,’”. She may have a point.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Brooke Candy's Opulence EP actually shits a bit.

The Sia-penned track "Pop and Rock" might be my favorite, but the rest are quite good too, like, for example, Feel Yourself (Alcohol), which sounds like a lost M.I.A. track.

Oh it's on Spotify, let me listen. I really liked Opulence (song)

I guess it's one of those days where I lose all criteria, lol.

However, the EP satiated my need for something ratchet, so I'm quite happy.

Finally someone's clocking her on that 5th grade education

 

[twobear]

not you anti-feminists trying to rob monica lewinski of her agency

this is a new low, even for people who hate beyonce, who are already very low indeed

How can someone hate Beyoncé

I legitimately don't understand how it is possible

Her crappy music and lack of moral character might have something to do with it.

Oh, and she's just. so. Boring.

 

[SaintZ]

Wait that was fast, I already finished Opulence.

Yeah Pop Rock and Feel Yourself are good. Did Brooke really sing in the latter? It sounded like Britney. I was surprised.

The other two songs are forgettable.

 

[twobear]

Her crappy music

somewhat kilariously, xtuneless actually has a higher average movie score than music score

How can someone hate Beyoncé

I legitimately don't understand how it is possible

They look at her, then look at their respective faves, and immediately see their shortcomings. Following the Kubler-Ross model can help us decipher the inner workings of their path to acceptance, or "taking a seat" as our sis DMJ would call it:


STEP ONE - DENIAL

Beyonce is a flop has-been who has failed to reach the milestones achieved by Rihanna in her comparatively young, moist and fruitful career.

STEP TWO - ANGER

I literally canNAWT at the HIVE being so steam-presseD and obSessed with Queen RIH, you can sit on DOZENS of electric chairs and kill yourselves because you are delusional, morbid and diseased. *gif*

STEP THREE - BARGAINING

BeyAWNce MAY have clocked a small handful of LOCAL album sales here and there, yes, but she has absolutely FAILED at selling a single COPY of her flop album at any Target store ANYWHERE across the nation, the very nation she was born and raised in. MEANWHILE, future Pope and current Pharoah Rihanna has been selling out stadiums upon stadiums of her massively existing worldwide tour, forever changing the course of history and this conversation.

STEP FOUR - DEPRESSION

Currently listening to Talk That Talk. Here's another picture of Rihanna walking on a carpet at an event from three months ago. What an icon.

STEP FIVE - ACCEPTANCE

I accept now that since my checks from RocNation have bounced I can finally admit to the fact that Rihanna exists as a courtesy from Beyonce herself, who created her in the Carter Lab using an old lace-front, a used diaphragm, and LaToya Luckett. [citation needed]

Royalan has wavered a number of times between depression (the day BEYONCE released) and bargaining (two days after BEYONCE released), but has sadly never made it to step five. She's a tough one to crack but I'm confident that she'll find her way to the end of the tunnel soon enough. #prayingforyou

I'd say that's a fairer criticism for someone who wasn't given the name "Voice of the Generation" by her industry.

If only we could all cling so tightly to a handful of Metacritic Approved "reviews."

Oh my goodness, that TEA

 

[SaintZ]

Wait did DMJ actually post all of that?
