Beyonce deserves to be put in here for being hyped as some sort of musical genius or "the next Tina Turner" on the back of ONE great song and an album full of mediocre trash. I was so disappointed with her CD, most of it just sounds like Destiny's Child B-Sides and all the rent-a-rapper's are pretty desperate. At least Kelly Rowland tried to move on from the Destiny's Child sound a bit and released an album with less filler.
She's also become very arrogant and where we once had a fun-loving girl who used to have a laugh in interviews and spea openly, she now says nothing of interest at all and sees herself as some kind of serious artist.
I don't care if she has "star quality" or shakes her backside furiously on stage, 90% of her music is dull as dishwater and her album didn't deserve to do as well as it did. Dangerously In Love, like Kylie's Fever and Jamelia's Thank You, is proof that the singles market IS still important for some singers as a good single can fool people in to thinking their album will be just as good.
She didn't even include her version of "In Da Club" which is one of her better songs. Hopefully her second solo CD will be better.

I love Beyonce, but I do get fed up when she insists on singing live only to murder Crazy In Love by not actually singing the lyrics, but by wibbling her thighs and going "WOOOOAAAAHH" ad infinitum. The Tina Turner moves are also pretty embarrassing.
The album is such a pile of toilet. What a disappointment. She is soooo gorgeous, but it's not enough to sustain a career without decent songs.

Too much hype surrounds her. She is very pretty but has embarrassing moves.

I agree, she's ok to look at but what the FUCK was wrong with her hair in Austen Powers? ??

for me, Beyonce totally lacks sex appeal. Like linus said she is pretty but thats all.

That 'Beyonce and Friends' concert that was shown on t4 was the epitome of torture. Screaming for over 12 minutes like you've got your tits trapped in a vice does not make a song.
However I love the sheer uselessness of teenage mother Solange.Despite featuring in countless DC videos, done guest vocals and is mentioned in loads of interviews she still is shit.

I take it im not the only person whos sick of seeing 'The Rise And Rise of Beyonce' on the music channels then? I still find that 'The Rise And Rise of J.Lo' is even worse.
I liked Beyonce for a while but now she bores me to death.

Mehinks Beyonce is going to have to actually make a good sophomore album if she wants to be relatively successful with it. "Crazy In Love" and "Lose My Breath" are both great singles used to launch mediocre albums for Beyonce and Destiny's Child alike.
Hopefully she'll do a lot better and maybe even drift away from the DC sound a bit too...

I liked her album. It was a good, chilled, honest, fresh soul album. Very simple but nice all the same. I thought a lot of the slow songs were effective (except for the very very shit Daddy).
I like her too- she's very beautiful and glamorous and I like the dichotomy between her seemingly genuine shyness/love of privacy and the megabitch diva the history of her band suggests.
One of the best pop stars of this decade IMO.

I take it im not the only person whos sick of seeing 'The Rise And Rise of Beyonce' . My heart goes out to you. If my TV had one channel and no off-switch I'd be absolutely incensed. I agree with what Yizzo said (Yizzo is wise) except for the bit about liking the album - try as I might, some of it is just dreadful. I prefer some of the tracks that didn't make it on there (In Da Club, Summertime, I'm Leaving, Keep Giving Your Love To Me) to much of what did.

I cannot stand Beyonce!! She does my head in! She's so up her own (HUGE) arse, and I hate the way she cannot hold a single note, so she has to sing every note in between, warbling through them to get to the next word. Aaaargh!!! Destiny;s Child albums annoy me, it's mroe like Beyonce featuring 2 backing singers. I thought her solo album was a complete joke - she's already had 3 other solo albums!

While the absolutely shit '1 Thing' has made me appreciate Crazy in Love even more, I do not like the woman. As has been mentioned, she always kills Crazy in Love live by refusing to actually SING THE SONG.
I also hate those fucking McDonalds adverts. It's got nothing to do with the fact that they've sold out etc etc. It's the fact that they willingly appear in an advert where they're basically diva bitches. They send a helper out to get food, he comes back, they look at him like shit, snatch the food off him with a sarky 'thanks' and a smirk, and then give him evils when he dares to sit and have lunch with them. What the fuck is the advert trying to say?

I hate how she ad-libs. The bit in Girl where she goes GIRRLLLLLLLLL I CAN TELL YOUUUU'VEE BEEN CRRRYYYINNNGGG over and over to ram home the lyrics which we've already heard annoys the hell out of me. And it was so annoying see her do the EXACT same Crazy in Love performance on every music show ever in 2003.

Her 'Crazy In Love' performances were crap, choruses were obviously mimed all she did was scream for 3 minutes. Get off the stage.

The only thing worse about that performance was that is allowed the Beyonce fans to say "Look! She's singing live. She's lyke the best OMIGOD!" They never really appreciated that most of it was mimed and every wannabe popstar can sing a verse.

i know, live she turns all Mariah on a bad day.
The album was such a let down - i only liked Crazy In Love and HipHop Girl.
And Jay-z is truly ugly.

They never really appreciated that most of it was mimed and every wannabe popstar can sing a verse. The worse bit was that little trumpet bit they had put into every live version. She'd go "HEY HEHYYYY CRAZZY" etc then little trumpet bit. Clever the first time. Grating as all get out the billionth.

I hate it how shes always the centre of attention in the videos, just because her mum and dad have a part in the producing of the videos etc. Shes so overated.

The only thing worse about that performance was that is allowed the Beyonce fans to say "Look! She's singing live. She's lyke the best OMIGOD!" It would be nice if you didn't categorise all Beyonce's fans as idiots. I can tell the difference perfectly well. I don't understand her need to miss out certain parts either, but questioning her skills as a singer is just plain absurd. I saw DC live last night, and while her warbling on Dangerously In Love did get tedious, her control and vocal dexterity is pretty astonishing. So when you hear Beyonce's fans talking about what an amazing singer she is, it probably isn't based on Crazy In Love. This: is pretty staggering, given your continued defence of a certain other popstar who is, in fact, living proof of the contrary.

I never doubted beyonce as a great singer, if she's so great then why does she always scream adlibs over studio vocals instead of singing actual lyrics of the song? It's not what i want to hear.
