SEETHE.

You'd think she'd try to make good music.. Oh well

I just wanted to point that out

Didn't know Beyonce was legendary... Oh wait.. She's not :/ so the Janet reference is a waste

Aww. Your opinion of her music is just that, your opinion. The critical praise for this album says otherwise. It's not up to you whether Beyoncé will be legendary or not. Her status and place is already cemented. Her name is in the history books multiple times.

Sorry but Beyonce ain't never been this damn light in her life. Not even in her past videos

She was recording this... 'Album' for the past year.

So What?! Plenty of artists take years to do albums. Being fans of Janet we should know that. That doesn't have anything to do with what I said.

Apple press release: BEYONCÉ Shatters iTunes Store Records With 828,773 Albums Sold in Just Three Days http://t.co/Y2Dtrt8bkw

"Apple today announced that BEYONCÉ has become the fastest selling album ever on the iTunes Store worldwide! #3DAYS!"

You do realize the chick is on tour and been on a tour for a while.. Everyone knew she was making an album/videos, they just didn't know when it was going to be released..

Some of you act like like she's been in hiding for 2 years and just popped up with an album.. Get real..

I do give her credit for trying something new with the release of the cd... The music....... not so much..

What does any of that have to do with what I posted? No ones acting like anything. How am I acting like she disappeared for two years when I stated she had the best selling R&B album of 2012, she headlined the Super Bowl and won a Grammy this year?

Y'all are trying to reach for everything to discredit her. She punched everyone's expectations out the game. PERIOD.

Yes people knew she was making an album. That's what she does. It's her career. That's generally what happens. Singers make albums. (DUH!) Beyoncé herself hasn't uttered the word album until Friday this year. Everyone was asking and anticipating, SHE, however never said a word.

You claim you give her credit for releasing the album while spending the bulk of your response trying to discredit it. Flawed Logic.

She needs to work more with Sia because the best track on this album is the first one.

And Bey, STAHP trying to be white. You're contradicting Pretty Hurts' message.

She doesn't have to try to be white because like it or not WHITE is a good percentage of her genetic make-up. Her Grandfather and Great grand father are WHITE MEN. Her mother is light bright damn near white. She don't have to pretend when it's a part of her make up.

But yet those girls have still sold and have done huge world tours that have sold out. Beyonce is still a huge in-demand artist, but seriously, she hasn't had a hit in nearly 3-4 years. Beyonce doesn't really need hits though.

Depends on what you define as a Hit. Beyoncé had the best selling R&B single and album of 2012. "Love On Top" spent 7 Consecutive weeks @ #1 on the R&B charts and is one of the longest running singles on that chart. She Won a Grammy for it.

Not to mention 3 of the singles are certified Platinum from "4" and one Gold. A hit is not just a position on the hot 100. Honestly haven't heard any of those girls "hits" after they peaked. I still hear songs from "4" though on the radio everyday. Plenty artists have hits w/ no impact.

She headlined an entire world tour and the Super Bowl after a supposed "flop" album. That's impact. That's power.

'Beyonce' Sales Grow to 550k-Plus, Set for No. 1 http://t.co/PU2jb0kk9Q

"Sales have grown to over 550k in the U.S. through Sat. (14) night. The album may sell 600k by the end of the tracking week on Sun. Dec. 15"

Seriously, the way some dumb beyonce fans are saying 'bye Britney, bye Rihanna, bye Gaga, bye Katy' .... Are you serious ????? These girls have been tearing up the industry like crazy with hits after hits and incredible tours. Beyonce couldn't even get a number one from 4 and hasn't had a big hit in two years so please save it. Some of you need to get a reality check because next year, Rihanna and Katy may still be dominating and beyonce may just fall into the no hit zone because that album doesn't sound like it has any hits at all.

lmao. Everything isn't about a $1.29 single. All of those hits and these girls are still struggling to go gold and platinum. A single is meant to sell your album, what's the point if it doesn't?

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Beyoncé scanned platinum plus with no top ten hits at all. Britney had the biggest radio success of her career during Femme Fatale era and still managed to scan only 700k.

And all of those girls had months worths of campaigning and promo with multiple hits and yet could only do under 300k in a weeks time.

All B Did was say "Surprise" and her album has sold more than half of what those releases sold in 3 Days w/ No single and only ONE retailer. So yes, it makes those other girls look pathetic.

Yall stay trying to make Beyoncé out to be a flop when she stays on par or outperforms your faves where it counts.

Ya'll are really Going In! I Love it! Anyone who can actually sit there and refute the receipts of Janet's Iconic Status and influence is just blind and a flat out idiot. Janet came, sought, and conquered.

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AUSTIN!!!!

...anyways....Love On Top #6 On U.S. Itunes.

dead @ you sounding like one of those stans on BGC i just cant :lmao: :lmao:

And That's Fine. Was that supposed to be a "Read"?

Coming Up empty handed toots? No Quotes of me saying anything of the sort? As I Thought.

The "fact of the matter" is that you have comprehension issues, my friend. What I stated was rock solid. All you've done is nag nag nag, and confuse your opinion for facts. Like DJ previously posted, you seem to only care about what records, accomplishments, and accolades Beyonce has. You've called other people who've experienced success "flops" and act as if they are inferior to the great Beyoncé. You are no more right about any of this than I am. Chill out, and let others have a dang opinion (...which just happens to be a little more neutral and less pro-Beyoncé than your's)

No Sweetheart. Do NOT put words In My FONT. Please quote the post where I called Sisqo or any of the other artists i mentioned besides beyonce a flop. Also quote where I stated that any of the other artists mentioned were inferior to beyonce. The Fact of the Matter is Not only what i've stated previously, but you also don't even know what point you're trying to make. You have no point. I said Longevity. I said nothing about them being flops. Get that shit together quick because it's clear i'm not the one with reading comprehension problems.

And stop relying on others failed posts for comebacks, it didn't work for them and it won't work for you. How is that i'm the only one that cares about Bey's accolades, sales, etc. when he was the one who brought them up? Again, You have reading comprehension problems. How about you take your own advice and re-read the thread and come back and try again.

So are you saying that Beyoncé had/has confidence issues?

No I'm Saying What I've been saying from the start.

okay...?

Well, in an event I'm sorry if I acted like my "shit" is superior to everyone else's "shit"...I never meant to act as if my fecal matter was of a higher quality than your's. To me, shit is shit, at the end of the day: it all gets flushed down the toilet or stepped in. I sincerely apologize.

By the way, the term is "couldn't care less"...if you "could care less" than why wouldn't you?

Oh Hun Please miss me with the sarcasm. The Fact Of The Matter is you implied that Beyonce is successful solo because she was "Set up" for it and you failed. END OF DISCUSSION. Now you can take that and flush it down the toilet.

That's promotion ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT!

And sure they didn't expect a hit, Jay-Z just hopped on the track for shits and giggles, huh?

Obviously If Beyonce herself said that she put Jay On The song, so people would be more receptive to it. DUH! and Just because jay was on the song doesn't garauntee a hit. There you go with your implications again.

I'm not entirely convinced that this is the truth.

I think I've provided nothing but facts. All you've done is provide an argument, and a "Bey is GOD and can do no wrong" feel to each and every post. I'm speaking from a purely neutral standpoint. As previously stated, I'm not a fan of either of the 3 artists in question (Bey, Rihanna, Gaga)...my "feelings" are not involved here, whereas your's clearly are.

I could careless about what you think is the truth and what is not. I've never implied that beyonce was god. You clearly are in your feelings, if you didn't care then you wouldn't still be here. Obviously you do. The only thing you've done is spew a whole bunch of misinformed, useless ramble, as if your shit is superior to everyone else. Miss me with the bullshit sir.

So there was no magazine ads, no mentions on radio, nothing said by Beyoncé in interviews or statements? You CANNOT even provide information (reciepts) about those if you tried, homie. You're speaking as if you're her publicist. you're full of bologna.

Her Promo Was her Single being played On The Radio. They didn't even expect Crazy In Love to be a hit. The album was original slated for a September release but because of the success of the song at radio they pushed the album up and that's when the promo began. She had Magazine Ads And Interviews regardless because she had just finished shooting a movie, plus she had endorsments with pepsi and loreal, however none of that had to do with her album.

It's like beating a dead horse DJ, in typical fashion a poster chimes in without having read the entire thread. It's okay to have an opinion, but let that opinion be stated after you familiarize yourself with what you're commenting on. It's all good, we know whassup.

Oh Chile Please. I read the thread before I commented. You Were doing a bunch of nothing. Throwing around what you THINK is FACT when in FACT it's just a whole bunch of misinformed useless ramble.

That's a COT DAMN lie.

Prove Me Wrong. her first performance of the song On Live TV was SNL & TRL right before the Album Dropped In June. The only Other promo before that was 106 & Park & Making the video when she premiered the video a few weeks before that. I have the receipts to back up the claims. You Might not want to try it.

that's your opinion not fact you only stan for her because you think she's grand and that makes you feel grand and it

Sweety Do you Know the difference between Fact & Opinion? It Is A Fact That You Came in here pressed about Beyonce's sales. It's the 2nd post on the first page. It IS a FACT that YOU made it about her sales, chart accomplishments, etc, when the initial poster of this thread said nothing about those things. And You don't Know me or why i like beyonce. So you can sit all the way down with that bullshit.

she was in everything when she was in destiny's child they were building her up for a solo and she only sold 11.2 million so you stop reaching

Right which is why all of the members of DC have experienced success as solo Artists outside of DC. Yea they were building her and Her alone up alright. Stop using the DC argument when it's convenient. Cuz as Soon as we Say Bey has sold over 130 Million Records worldwide the girls get IRATE and pressed. Just because she was in dc didn't garauntee solo success. If that's the case then every lead singer from a group that tried to go solo would've been successful.
