Beyonce got some classics though. I think Dionne Warwick is old and a hater, either that or she just can't relate to the music of today.

shyt has changed and sure the music of the past was more timeless, Beyonce is still a legend.

And why has she not faded in to the background with mediocre trashy lyrics

Because of the cult of personality which has been sustained through social media.


Beyonce has reached the point where she is bigger than her music.
So Yes she is an Icon.

Kim Kardashian is also an Icon in pop culture :yeshrug:

Stop it publicist, you doing too much, so WEAK...:mjlol:...critically acclaimed with them bullshyt lyrics???? :usure:
all 3 of her albums that came out this decade are acclaimed

You dont have to be a stan to acknowledge the fact that what she's been doing for about 2 decades+ is definitely iconic

She can literally tour at any point, and sell out like crazy. People who just saw her on this tour will pay hundreds to see her again if she goes on tour next year

She's definitely had an impact on many artists both past and present.

Objectively, she is a living legend :yeshrug:
Outside of AOTY at the grammys (which she keeps getting snubbed for), IDK what milestone she hasnt hit already that Dionne has.

So we can make a definitive judgement on longevity when one person is close to double the age of the other? :gucci:

I compared Dionne Warwick 1963-86 run to Beyoncé's 1998-2019 run. That's a fair assessment to me -- 23 years vs 21 years. Dionne's music made a bigger impact during her time than Beyoncé's has in hers.

Social Media did blow Beyonce up ALOT. I never saw the Crazy fandom for her until the early parts of this decade when the term "BeyHive" was coined.

How the fukk does almost all her solo tracks specifically cater to her top demos. Those writers she has are garbage and greedy as fukk.

The only potential "classic" Beyonce tracks are Crazy In Love & Me Myself And I...IMO

Me Myself And I is the last time I enjoyed a Beyonce track.She just became a singing,

air brushed, mainstream robot after that.Her music lacks soul nowadays

Critically acclaimed to fake feminists and the lgbt crowd. Stop it dude. Garbage ass writers with weak trash. Even her husband is intelligent enough to do his own shyt. He aint listening to damn corporate clowns trying to dictate his content. That's why none of her shyt has any soul. Solo work completely formulaic by her handlers. GTFOH...Stop lying and comforting yourselves. That Corp shyt is garbage. How the fukk do dead artists have more soul than the living.:mindblown:

Ur in the minority.

Is James Brown the greatest singer or dancer to have ever lived? No. But he got more rhythm and soul than almost any artist in music history, that's why we love him so much.

Beyoncé had opportunities to surpass him but she has useless handlers and is still a statue.

Beyoncé been popping since 97’ it’s fukking 2019

Wtf are we talking about in here. U don’t last that long off looks (y’all say she ugly anyways) or bad music or just because the “machine” is behind u. Beyonce is a fukkin beast. Worked harder than any artist during my lifetime male or female. That bytch hit list is a league of her own with a classic album:wow:
