It's a generational thing, Beyonce was seen as a bad bytch & dope popstar that made anthems for little girls & young women in the early-mid 2000's. Then the music industry fell apart (both in terms of units sold & quality) & people got more & more pretentious, top tier pop artists started to become elevated on some over compensating shyt as well as on some pretentious shyt. Imagine how many think pieces 'Survivor' would produce if it dropped in 2016? Bootylicious would not be an empty, fun pop song but a political statement about Black women owning their sexuality and rejecting European beauty standards. Soldier would not be a stupid hood rat anthem with bad message but an anthem for black love in the face of Police brutality. I can't take that shyt serious.
Beyoncé doesn't write her own lyrics and has a great team behind her
- Thread starter Standing on business
- Start date
Janet Jackson did write. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey didn't hijack writing credits.
Because her and her fans like to pretend it's all her.
I saw all over Facebook people calling her a "creative genius"
Never heard Whitney, Mariah or any of the other called that.

nikka please stop..... Janet is nowhere near as talented as Beyonce.
She's the same as Beyonce as far as not writing their own shyt, and manufactured pop artist.
But the difference is Beyonce is actually vocally STRONG... Not the best... but STRONG she can blow.
Janet is a whisper, nasal singer... not a real singer... and her dancing aint nothin on par with Beyonce.
I'm not a Beyonce stan, but I give credit where it's due.... Dont be putting Janet over Beyonce just cause she came first and related to MJ.
I don't know where you dudes are getting this doesn't write shyt from both Janet and Beyoncé write lyrics. They collaborate with people some times they write nearly a full song and others they change a few words. Janet started out not writing a single word though, but with maturity came her balls to show her creativity. Just like B.

Well it's the truth. She's been working in the industry for a long time now. She wasn't an over night success story. Unless you mean manufactured because her team is close to their chest and run a tight ship. But she had to work for that team she has now.
By that logic, Michael/Janet Jackson were "typical manufactured" stars.
fyi...just because an artist happened to come out first...and "influenced" others who came after them...doesn't mean theyre better..a lot of times, it just means they were born first..
beyonce is easily better than janet...I will probably take janets best songs over bey's best songs though...but overall...not that close

They also never really tried to be the face of a message like Beyonce is. It comes across like a marketing gimmick when she jumps on the pro black steez after all the BlackLivesMatter stuff. When you try to push this image of this strong black woman in touch with her roots after years of lathering on makeup to look less black... It just doesn't feel real, or genuine.

I'm pretty sure nobody in the booth gives a fukk about Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or who white people are trashing on
You missed my point. I know no one cares about Taylor/Katy in the booth. I don't give a damn about them either. But that pop audience does and somehow their heralded as greatness. I just find it interesting how some try to tear Bey down and it's mostly her own people.
I read on this very same site that Zayn is a great R&B artist. That's the B.S I'm talking about. He doesn't even have half the talent as J.T and I'm not even a big J.T fan. People love mediocrity when it's convenient.
shyt is jokes...
Taylor Swift was killed by the country music fans for going pop. Katy Perry is trashed in general.

I stopped caring about traditional female R&B solo acts after Chante' Moore and maybe Aaliyah(she was doing things different). Don't own any of her music as a group or solo, just never appealed to me.

At first she was but they got over that quick. She still sells a million in the first week. She even admitted that the country fans handled her transition gracefully.
Katy Perry sells very well. Hell she just headlined the Super Bowl. For what?
It's not because she could sing or dance. It's because the white audience loves her.
