(video added) beyonce once again proves...

[Maxine Shaw]

Wake me up when Beyonce can make an HBO special that cracks two million, let alone 15 million.

sade came after beyonce and yet you duck and dodge her dominance @ridedolo

I forgot which album it was, but I remember when Sade sold, like...1/2 a million in her first week and nikkas didn't even know she had a damn album out. It's like someone has to remind Sade that she even has a career. Probably the most underrated singer EVER.

Fam you had to buy albums back then. There was no other option. If I want to hear an album now I can just come to the coli. Look at the first post on this page. She's selling out ARENAS, people are filing up arenas here and overseas to see her perform. Sales can be manipulated sold out live global arena tours can't

Folks been doing that. Were do you think the term arena rock came from? Motherfukkers like Foreigner, Queen, ad Journey were filling arenas too. That's why heavy metal and classic rock bands and their stans couldn't stand them. Look at Prince, Janet, MJ, Madonna, and Whitney concert footage. Same shyt. Let's keep it stack. Music has fallen way the fukk off to the point that there aren't a whole stable of artists that are capable of that. Beyonce is one of a handful able to do that now.

Can you imagine if Beyonce had come out in the Mariah/Whitney/Madonna/Janet era? She'd just be some girl. All of them have records that will never be touched, and this was back in the day when you had to actually go out and BUY shyt. Hell, Lemonade is just a watered down version of Rhythm Nation, and Janet was only 23 when that came out. Her golden era (Control to All for You) takes a steaming pile of shyt on ANYTHING Beyonce has ever done.

Don't get started on the OGs. You have Diana, who really started the whole black female multi-entertainer thing, if you ask me (singing, acting, endorsements, etc.) If we're talking all-time all-around GOATs, I would say that Diana passed it to Janet & Janet passed it to Bey.

And then you've got the pure soul singers...oh, gosh, we'd be here all day. You know Aretha Franklin won eight Best R&B Female Performer Grammys eight years in a row? Eight. Years. In a row. It's like...why the hell would you even bother cutting a record?

 

[Standing on business]

Lemonade was not a watered down rhythm nation.

It's a reason everyone says all the classic music is from the late 90's and before. It's because the Internet changed the landscape of music, how it's received, and our attention span to it. It's impossible for an album to come out today and be looked at as legendary, inpossible. That's a whole different convo though.

why ya'll gonna make me do this? janets one of my first crushes...

but facts are facts. show me janet singing as strongly as...

 

[SadimirPutin]

I completely agree she is as big as MJ and will continue to be bigger

Anyone that says otherwise is stuck in the past

There has never been an artist since MJ who has even touched his level of stardom

MJ used to shut down countries when he visited

Beyonce is as big a draw as taylor swift, adele, and the other big artists of today

but she is not the impact that Jackson was

 

[wavycam]

Her vmas performance was super lit

 

[MewTwo]

If she continues to be pro black she will end up like MJ

 

[itsyoung!!]

Beyonce nowhere near her either imo.

Beyonce will never reach madonna, janet or mariah status. Its impossible. Hundreds of millions sold.


They in here confusing retweets and instagran likes for popularity

theirs like 10-15 artists with as good or better sales than beyonce since shes came out, and same amount with as many or more top hits.

When it was madonna, janet and mariahs time they were undeniable #1. Beyonce getting killed in sales by adele and taylor swift and killed in hits by them + rhianna. Shes not and never been #1 biggest female artist in the world

And now shes getting killed by adele, taylor swift and rhianna

The disrespect to Janet, Madonna and Mariah is crazy. The people who said shes as big or bigger than MJ though? Should have a week ban + site wide neg train on them to think bout what they said
