It's entertainment at the end of the day, and she's a great entertainer. One of the best even.

Still doesn't undo the fact that her public persona is completely manufactured.


Exactly.

Using your husband's business platform to undermine him? Ehhhhh

They have overcame the cheating, which is why they're still together.

Idk if you read beyonce's unofficial bio, but if you google it, you will find that she cares a lot about her image and up until now always wanted it to be perfect. Her ex bf revealed that. She wasn't even famous yet. He hit someone's car on accident and she left the scene talking about how she can't have that on her record b/c it could mess up her image.

She also had her people email google asking them to delete "ugly" pics of her. You can google it.

He (they) will do anything to win. he still wants tidal to be successful. She admitted to putting on for the cameras in one of her songs on this album. & proof of it was when she came out of the elevator smiling.

I believe you. And she's done an incredible job with her image, but I'm sure she's smart enough to realize that she's a depreciating asset (sad but true) and in order to stay relevant she needs to shake things up a bit. She's not trying to be Jennifer Hudson, she wants the youth. A "perfect" image can still have perfect "imperfections". People can run with their conspiracy theories (just like how Jay played into the hands of those ppl with the intentional masonic imagery) and then they'll kiss and make up for the cameras after they've exhausted the controversy, and that'll be a new energy to market. Fact is, she's saying what a lot of people obviously want to hear. The memes and internet fanaticism will be in full throttle by morning. She knows what she's doing

Beyonce's music is crazy overrated but I'll check to see what this thing is about :manny:

Her music is usually over rated. Especially her last album, but this one is much better. Dangerously in love is still #1 though. This one is like 2 or3. Beyonce the album was garbage and highly over rated and so was Sasha Fierce.

It's crazy how dangerously in love and the writings on her wall has been her best work, even the DC album that came out in 05 has been better.

I think, diva, put a ring on it, and songs like that caught on so much that she had to continue that formula

She's clearly talking about them and not her parents.

Just finished the entire film.

Excellent visuals. Very good music. This is the most I've ever enjoyed a Beyoncé project, and this is coming from someone who is not a fan (not a hater either, ive always recognized her talent.) She crafted a musical movie that's right up there with Michael Jackson and Prince in terms of pure enjoyment.


Do I believe for one second that this is a song for song window into the marital lives of Jay-Z and Beyoncé? Nah, hell no. They both know EXACTLY what type of buzz and press their relationship generates, and they know how to milk it.

Still doesn't take away from the album's overall enjoyment, the music is top notch and as a concept album I can really dig it.
