And now….the requested “unpopular” Post:

I think Beyonce is overrated. *GASP*

Acting…

Carmen ….yea.
Austin Powers …riiiight
Pink Panther…seriously?

I’m SURE she’s going to rock it in Dreamgirls (smirk)

**Though I hear Jennifer Hudson is KILLIN IT I SO want her to get an Academy Award Nod…See what Simon says then LOL

Singing…

Does she have a better voice than:

Alicia Keys
Leela James
Vivian Green
Jill Scott
…hey maybe I’m wrong…good voice though, but the ad libs get REAL extra

Not even saying she HAS to have a great voice to be successful (Hi Ciara and Cassie 🙂 )…Im just sayin’ lets not make her more than what she is.
Music…

Deja Vu sounds like Herat Break hotel and Wanna be startin somethin’
OR
Dangerously in love part II
The ring the alarm song and video is horrible.
She’s good for a “womans anthem” (For those that need one) …and a pop yo ass or ‘fuk em girl’ track…but damnit man
She’s really the female Jay-Z no matter what she makes people will buy and swear it’s good.
Now, Dont paint me all negative…and hating just because it’s her
I LOVED:
Yes
Signs
Gift from a Virgo
and Speechless on the first CD though! They are ALL on my Ipod (and I dont just let ANYTHING hit my Ipod)

Conversely, I’ve liked NO Destiny Child songs since the original lineup…anyhoo

Looks…

Myth buster: Beyonce does NOT have a nice ass.
She has wide hips and big thighs…albeit those are the ingredients for a great ass, you still need actual ass.
It’s okay but seriously; Let Serena do that ‘uh oh’ dance and you’ll see the difference.

And she rocks the ‘A’ cups…I don’t have ANY probs with A cups; I’m just saying lets stop getting beside ourselves about her shape…it’s not really bangin’
Lemme see, if you’re going to go singers with small breasts and nice ass…I’ll take Ciara or A Keys; better shape.
There are no “bangin'” Singers…they are all Video Hoe-fessionals or wanna be rappers…but I guess she’s as close as you’re going to get

I dunno…it appears that a lot of people want me to believe that she’s the hottest ish since poo in the snow.
She’s on everyone’s magazine cover, Blog and at everyone’s event…means nothing to me; she’s pretty and all but give me

Badu
James
Keys
and Green

…guess I’m a hater….I’ll be over here to the left 🙂

**Note: Not to say I wouldn’t smash though, I aint blind or stupid (and still a man) Puahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

sorry, back to the left –>

I agree, I do think she is overrated. Props must be given to her publicist for doing there job and keeping her ~~overexposed~~ out there.
TheDame

Was that so bad? lol

I share the same opinion. She’s very cute, has a nice voice and all but ifshe could just take a commercial break and come back in a few years, I’ll be just fine.

E,

You are on point. She is an entertainer with wonderful marketing machine. She is just light skin enough for white people to like her and not have to fall in love with a dark black woman entertainer. She thinned out for those people. Destiny’s Child was overrated and a product of another marketing machine.

Her shape is NOT banging. She can’t sing with a dayum. Her wigs look like ten Paris Hilton’s dogs. Her outfits are start off of the old Barbie dolls post 1972. I believe she wears those fake titts, hips, and booty pads, personally! Plus, Jay-Z saw what the Dame and Aaliyah phenom did for his career…so he is trying it too…(Rest in Peace Aaliyah) [I do think Dame and Aaliyah were for real in love and it wasn’t marketing]

Real singers; Nina Simone, Ella, Billie, Diana Ross, Chaka, Pattie (minus the screaming) Aretha, and Jill….we need to reflect on real musicians via entertainers. It is easier to market entertainment to the mindless masses than the discerning lovers of music and its art form. Real music is more than boobs dots…Real music will make your cry, soothe your soul, call your Momma, watch your kids sleep, and stay with you for life.

B…makes me want to have a vasectomy (and I don’t have any balls).

I love you E!

Damn,

You just took a lot of space (and possibly) time trying to convince us why Beyonce is overrated.,

Is she overrated? Probably.

Do I still like her? Yes…even after reading your rant.

and thank you for posting the unpopular post. I like readint things that do not conform to popular opinion. I can tell this chick really irks you…kind of how I feel about Kelis (unpopular opinion as well LOL).

The only song I have EVER felt by Beyince is the Irreplaceable joint. That’s my shit…

I agree on everything else.

And why do me always list madd negative things about somebody but then they’re like, “but I’ll still hit!”
That so retarted…

(another unpopular opinion… LOL)
SimplyPut

I appreciate this post, I was waiting for the day – a guy would be real about the situation. Acting like she’s the the best thing since slice bread!
Virtuous

Alright, I hope I didn’t inspire you to write about going “to the left” after I was rocking as my theme song yesterday! haha! Heck I needed it!
But I must agree I am oversaturated with Beyonce too. She definitely could take a break and make a huge comeback! Like you said we would still listen and love it!

Go to any baptist church in America and you can find a prettier, better singer than Beyonce. She was in the right place at the right time and she has a lot of drive. As for her body parts as you broke them down. She looks fine to me.

I couldn’t agree with you more son! And why is it that if you defer from the main stream thoughts on Beyonce you’re automatically considered a hater? Are we not entitled to our opinons? She’s an entertainer and your comparing her to Jay-Z seems on point to me. Agreed, she’s a made a couple nice songs, Speechless being my fave, but overall, I can’t say I’m really impressed. The lyrical content of the Bday CD does nada for this chick.

I saw her recently and I agree that she’s a pretty girl and I’m not saying this to be mean, but most actresses/singers ALWAYS look great with makeup on. A woman’s true beauty is how she looks WITHOUT it. Her body, yes, it’s nice and mine would be better if I had hours a day/week to spend maintaining it.

Overall, I agree that there are better singers, but it’s a matter of opinion of who fits the mold at the time. A.Keys, V. Green, Badu and the likes are more my speed.

In closing, if my opinions make me a hater, then I’m cool with that.

Okay, so she is way over-exposed. But you cant deny she is beautiful, has a bangin body, can sing her ass off and dance too. She cant act and doesnt seem very real durig her interviews but she is an ENTERTAINER. Hence, the hair and the costumes and all that. Shes talented and fun to watch. Everyone knows this…yet they say she is over-rated….It really is just hate. Let it go people!!! GIve props where they are due!!!
