Can someone
According to who? You? A straw poll you took?

Everytime this topic comes up always leads to the same sentiment with lame ass people forever scrambling to protect their untouchable idol.

Just say her solo work is on par with the group work if they are so confident.

You are being myopic.

Your point is valid but all of this is subjective and through the individuals lens. My my mom doesn’t think that Confessions or Vodoo are classics. Because that’s not her era. Those are classics to certain people that respects those artist relative to time and perspective.

You can’t guys are looney to hold up your beliefs of what’s classic yet dismiss an artist as big as Beyoncé when there are plenty people that feel her music is. Confessions and is not universally considered a classic outside of its genre

That doesn't make sense tho.

You don't have to be a part of an era for an album to be recognized as classic.

Music is typically classified as classic based on time & influence.

A persons age has nothing to do with that.

He said universally classic. I don’t think you can say that confessions is universally classic. That’s damn near Thriller status.

Beyonce is a legend but I don't think she has a classic album also.Dionne came from a era where the standard was set so high only a few been able to achieve it so I can't be upset at her opinion.

That's all we're saying but people on here are getting mad like we said the girl was wack or something...

Mariah has numerous classics, Beyonce has maybe one as a solo artist. :camby:Beyonce has as many classic songs as B2K (and fewer than Tyrese!). It's embarrassing.
Beyonce and Mariah are both overrated bruh :yeshrug: sex appeal & hit singles don't make you among the greatest especially when their albums are shytty, like I said Beyonce best album will be a "greatest hits" CD.

All of her albums are garbage and Lemonade overrated & hyped asf because of the controversy leading up to it :manny:.

Or you could answer the question of what you are basing this on since you said it wasn’t based on your opinion......

Quantify impact.........

It's an aura thing. After the success of 8701, and then Confessions, Usher was the biggest male solo artist. Girls in school were carving lyrics from My Boo into their desks; those songs were on the radio constantly. Beyonce has been so much about marketing, not organically getting people to love her music and be obsessed by it. Frankly, I'd say Justin Timberlake's first few solo albums also had a bigger splash than Beyonce's solo work. I can sing Justified front to back. I can't name more than 3 songs on any Beyonce album.

Beyonce don’t say shyt about no one and yet people just stay with her name in their mouth. shyts disgusting

Most artists have superior solos than their group work. She would have probably been an undisputed classic icon if she was never in that band.
