This part is definitely true


"The omnipresence of social media and reality TV and an endless barrage of media coverage have robbed the general public of the kind of innocence that made adults faint at the sight of Michael Jackson at the height of his pop mega-stardom"
Basically. Times are different. If Beyoncé’s prime was during the same era (pre-social media), she’d be way more respected than she is now.

This is complete bullshyt. If anything the social media revolution has amplified Beyoncé’s popularity and longevity. The whole “bey-hive” thing is just some female clique shyt. With Beyoncé it’s more about what she represents as an image than her actual talent and music. Even with this Coachella hype, it all feels orchestrated from the top. You can’t just trust social media like that when we all know that it can easily be manipulated. Beyonce is nowhere near Michael Jackson and it’s completely dishonest to suggest so.

I'll say this. You can fake a lot of shyt in the industry but one thing you can't fake is touring and ticket sales.


I'll just say this

That's $5.22 grossed per show. Nobody named in this thread has came close to that.
