Ring The Alarm: Beyonce Is Not A Diva - Comments Page 3

Over the years, the media has anointed the star of Destiny’s Child with a title she doesn't deserve.

Before beginning, let’s set the record straight: this is not a hate-Beyoncé piece.…

  • 76 - BEYONCE'S FAN!!!

    Oct 14, 2006 at 2:30 pm

    WHOEVER WROTE THIS PIECE, WHETHER YOU WERE TRYING TO CRUSH HER OR NOT(AND YOU WERE),YOU'RE SIMPLY JEALOUS AND A HATER. AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO AGREES WITH IT IS TOO. WHEN HAVE YOU EVER BEEN NOMINATED FOR ONE GRAMMY? YOU HAVEN'T SOLD 4 MILLION RECORDS, SO UNTIL YOU DO SOME OF THE THINGS BEYONCE'S DONE, WITH DESTINY'S CHILD OR WITH OUT, SHUT YOUR MOUTH. AND FOR THE RECORD, BEYONCE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIVA'S IN THE INDUSTRY. AND AS FAR AS YOU, ALL YOU DO IS SIT AT HOME ALL DAY LONG AND FIND OUT WHO YOU CAN TRY AND BRING DOWN BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR. YOU SIT AROUND AND WRITE ARTICLES SUCH AS THIS ONE, HOPING IT WILL GET YOU SOMEWHERE. GUESS WHAT, IT WON'T. SO INSTEAD OF HATING ON BEYONCE BECAUSE SHE'S DOING THINGS YOU COULDN'T EVEN DREAN OF DOING, YOU NEED TO SIT BACK AND SHUT THE F*** UP. OKAY?

    Totally agree with your estimation. And sadly, I think its the beginning of the end for her...Im a fan, but can't help but feel she believes shes peaked...And she hasnt. She needs more time to work on her art, but her PR machine make her believe shes there already... She wont last much longer. But she can sing and has impacted the industry. Shes a good singer...but divas debatable...

    Beyonce is just a Diva wanabe destiny's child made Beyonce but its sad how beyonce and her pareents make the other members look like her maids.
    -beyonce is given the best clothes
    -she wears a different clothe while the others wear thesame like twins
    - 2/3 of every video focuses on beyonce alone and the others are seen when its time for the chorus

    It's sad when someone has to take the time to type all this up in what could've been summed up with, "I don't get what the big deal is with Beyonce".

    Records sales do not reflect impact. Ok, her debut solo album has sold four million. How many did Janet sell of "Janet Jackson"? How many did the Fugee's "Blunted On Reality" sell? Mariah Carey's biggest album, "Daydream" came after three other solo albums. Comparing someone on their second solo album (much less their first) to artists who have been established for years speaks volumes about the true knowledge of the author.

    Creating a group on Facebook about an article you wrote, writing this article in the first place...perhaps someone else needs to be reminded of who is not a diva.

    Ok Ok I'm going to end all this chit chatter in here. #1. It doesn't matter if Beyonce has talent or not, she is well paid then all of us on this blog site! #2 Everyone is entitled to his/her opinions, so let's stop bashing one another. This is why God has put so many different singers/entertainers on this earth (talented or not) because we all CANNOT like the same things, that's life!!! #3 The real question should be, if Miss Aaliyah had not left this earth, would Beyonce have been as big in the public eye as she is now? Things that make you go hummmmm... Point in case we all experience music on different levels. What maybe great music to someone else may not be to the next person! Point being IF YOU DON'T LIKE A PARTICULAR ARTIST MUSIC, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THEIR ALBUM. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE ARTIST MUSIC THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND ONLY YOU!

    I can understand if people like Beyonce for whatever reason... but you can deny the superficiality of her subject material... just a reflection of our society today... glitz and sexuality will get you everywhere, whereas depth and wittiness probably wont....

    Beyonce is a wonderful talented singer, shes not going any where,she will be around for may years to come.Whitney Houston is not as popular as she used to be and cannot sing,neither can mariah carey hit those high notes,she sounds raspy and like her voice is static. Beyonce is at the height of her carrer just like all celebs, let her hae her time because shes out there,shes not over rated like lindsay or jessic simpson,who cant' hit a high note.

    You know, whenever you're on the top there are silly people around trying to bring you down. It's crazy to me that you would try to discount the success of DC and not attribute that to the WRITER AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER of ALL of their hits! Not only can this girl sing, she makes the music. Can Toni Braxton say that? No. Can Whitney Houston say that? No. Can Britney Spears say that? No. I might dare say it's racist for you to 'not count' worldwide sales. I mean, is our music just for US? I don't think so. Stop hating. Not to mention that Beyonce is the first black woman to ever receive the ASCAP writer of the year award!! Get over it. Beyonce is a DIVA!!

    What is so special about Beyonce? The woman is not a good singer. She has no voice control, she dances like a yeti on coke, and for her to compare herself to the utterly awesome and groundbreaking Josephine Baker is a really low blow.

    Let's face it, There are better singers out there. Anything that Beyonce sings will never become a Standard in 10 years. It will be some crap noise.

    To the Beyonce fans - people have their opinions of the woman, now shut the fuck up and go play outside. You're not paying a single bill of hers nor is she paying a bill of yours.

    (Also, to one of the posters - If Aaliyah was still here, Beyonce would still be big because BLACK FOLK buy Aaliyah's CDs, whereas more white kids buy Beyonce. Beyonce has been better accepted by the white media than Aaliyah.

    Am I a hater for expressing my opinion. No. I have one, and just because it doesn't correspond with the rest of you tweenies doesn't mean that I hate her. Hate is a strong word, and the term hater is so overused that you need to go play in some oncoming traffic if you still use it. If you dipshits learned how to read, it said in the first line that "THIS IS NOT A HATE BEYONCE PIECE"

    There is nothing Revolutionary about Beyonce. She is a product of her time. You want a superb singer - there's Mary J. Blige, who has lasted FOREVER, and doesn't need to be glitzy and cutesy to make it - she can make it on her voice alone.

    If you don't like the article, don't read. It's that simple.

    Beyonce appeals the ADD generation. She's mostly visual. Her material lacks depth, her songs are superficial and lack meaning. Does that mean she's not talented? NO. But Beyonce is 25 years old and I wish she would start writing songs that have a little more depth and maturity to them. Its ok to have a few sassy/sexy songs but an entire album of them at her age is really disappointing.
    Mariah Carey in my opinion falls in this category also. She is way to old for the material/product she is marketing.

    That is why I will always be a Mary J, Lauryn Hill fan they represent REAL MUSIC. Music that takes you somewhere. Songs that you can turn on to match any mood. When I hear Lauren's Ex Factor it always takes me to place I was with an ex, and Hell pick any of Mary's songs...

    Beyonce=not a true artist, but a packaged commercial. But hey she's making a living with it and I dont fault her. Just dont call me a fan

    You talk about Bee's songs have no depth ok have you not heard Survivor, Me,Myself and I, Story of Beauty, Stand up For Love, and Listen that is just a few do you know how many people those songs have helped especially The Story of Beauty which is about a girl getting molested and wanting to kill herself but Beelet that girl know its not her fault and that girl sent Bee a letter thanking her. And can't sing you didn't see her on the Grammys, or Oprah, or when she did the Star Spangled Banner I mean you don't have to like her and im sure she wouldn't want to be a diva anyway but she has helped people and I am one of those people so don't be so hard on her she is human she does have feelings

    You silly people. Have you actually watched Beyonce "sing" live? Have you heard her? There is not one singer in this list that could make Beyonce's voice fade. The girl sings like an angel. She is not manufactured. She is blessed. It is a shame that untalented people always feel the need to tear down the gifted.

    umm dis bitc talkin all dis shit talkin bout dis aint no hatin on beyonce piece when clearly it is, and bitch u really need to stop cause u aint nowhere near B's level so shut the fuck up and mad cause she takin' over the game, along with ciara, and Mary J; with the three blowing all those hoes u just named out of the water, and even with Destiny's Child beyonce was kinda a solo artist, being that she was the only one singin in most of they songs, and all dem most dem record sales should go to her, im not sayin dat the other two arent talented cause i luv me sum kelly (cant wait for the new album, but beyonce is the force that pushed them to the top and bitch u really need to Upgrade yo damn info and know that Beyonce is one of the biggest most talented DIVAS on the fuckin planet, and im tellin you she aint goin, because miss B is fuckin IRREPLACEABLE, and janet need to sit the fuck down wit dat lame ass album she got; shit u bobble-head bitch, u must not kno bout B, u must not kno bout B, she aint goin nowhere so get used to seeing her big divalicious ass for many years to come, and the last bitch said it the best Beyonce aint no god damn product, she is fuckin gifted and u should listen to her live; anyother time she may seem like a shy little girl explorin the diva world, but let yo untalented, jealous ass catch her onstage and watch the world's one and only true diva:Sausha jump out on yo ass, and aint nobody even finna come close to takin her ass down, so now bitch why dont u go talk about dem bitches dat really aint divas like christina milian, rihanna, and dem other hoes i cant think of right now, BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 103 - FLASHBACK

    Jan 15, 2007 at 7:19 pm

    i see i have to come back and lay it down again, beyonce has taken the term diva to the next level, i mean the girl has grammys, mtv awards, bet awards, NAACP awards, and countless others, and she is nominated for the golden globes, and in a few years maybe she'll get or be nominated for the oscars, no matter what this article you only talkin bout your guidelines of diva status, when u need to be goin by the real one, i mean beyonce is takin over, and there is no one out there in terms of a solo music artist than Beyonce, and bitch no matter if the songs was wit sum other niggas or not they are hers, and she got dem awards and #1 hits because they are Beyonce's and bitch where is irreplaceable, i aint seen u mention dat song at all that is the most hottest song in history and of her carrer, and its where........#1 bitch, and came in 2006 wit the number one hit (check on it) and ended 06' and came into 07' wit the #1 hit: IRREPLACEABLE, and also is consider the biggest girl group comeback ever, and thanks to B and Kelly (wit majority power goin to B) Destiny's Child is the biggest selling girl group in the world and the biggest selling american group. I guess what im tryna to say is that a diva is to have the main features of:Image, Talent, The Voice, and the ability to perform (MIMI- can sing and is beutiful, but she had a slump and all she do when on stage is scream, JANET- has talent and is very beautiful along with mimi, but cant keep up with beyonce when it comes to combining dance and song during a performance, LAURYN- has amazing talent, but has no onstage talent;her at bet awards she tired quickly, WHITNEY- is just amazing, but lacks the appeal; nothin can save her now even if they broke up, ARETHA- dont live up to the hype ive heard everyone to be building upon her; i heard and saw that duet and i didn't like it at all; it seem like she was screamin, and like her voice wasnt all that; if yall dont like that hit me up and tell me sum more songs of her cuz dats tha only one ive heard wit her, and then there is BEYONCE- youngest of the "GREAT DIVAS", she has the body, the voice, she can dance, shes an actress, and the girl can put in down on stage; i really didn't like deja vu but when she performed it at BET awards 06' and at fashion rocks 06' i loved it, and did yall see when she did listen on oprah she was amazing, and then there is irreplaceable on mtv when she sang i was blown away and anytime she performs she becomes bigger than life, also she is a singer/songwriter, producer, actress, and fashionista, i hate stupid low-life untalented jealous scum like whoever wrote dis, who try to bring down greats such as beyonce, bitch u got her twisted Beyonce is and will always be a Diva, so keep it movin bitch.

    Why are her fans always so crazy and hostile? I mean, the boy is just expressing his opinion. If you truly believe she can sing then great, but just because someone doesn't agree with that doesn't mean they're "hating". The girl has the whole world under her spell. So stop getting all defensive! She's not going anywhere no time soon, unfourtunately.

    Beyonce is overated. That is because of her father,and now she's tring to break free of him and be her own person. But nobody wants to give her a chance because of her father. Remember she said that he would book her at events even when she said NO. But did them anyway because she didnt want to look bad. Remember she said she didnt let her father know she was recording B-DAY,becasue she want to do it her way without pressure. Beyonce needs a chance to prove she can do it on her own without her father pressuring her. Well about her being around long or not N/C. will see. loving everybody from the writer of this article, B-fans, and those who may have their opinions of her.

    I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH THIS ARTICLE. IT IS NOT JUST AN OPINION, IT IS AN UNFORTUNATE TRUTH. ALL PEOPLE WHO KNOW OF BEYONCE SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT SHE IS NOT A DIVA, EVEN IF YOU DONT WANT TO ADMIT IT- IT IS ALL SO FRIGHTENING HOW SHE SPORTS BLONDES WEAVES EVERYWHERE SHE GOES AND WEARS A TON OF MAKEUP TO ADD TO HER ARTIFICIAL AND MANUFACTURED FACADE, SHE ALSO NEEDS SPEECH LESSONS, ALONG WITH A REALITY CHECK- MEANING TRY NOT HAVING DADDY AND MOMMY BEHIND YOUR BACK TO STAND UP FOR YOU ALL OF THE TIME- GROW UP B. GET SOME ORIGINAL IDEAS FOR YOUR MUSIC VIDEOS, CONCERTS, AND CHOREOGRAPHY AND TREAT YOUR BACKUP DANCERS WITH RESPECT (LIKE PAY FOR THEIR FLIGHTS IF THEY TOUR WITH YOU, WHICH U DONT DO). THERE IS NO NEED TO BE STINGY WITH ALL YOUR MONEY FOR YOUR DANCERS (WHO HAVE THE TRUE TALENT), THEY ALONG WITH THE CHOREOGRAPHER, AND THE OTHER FOLKS INVOLVED ARE THE REASON YOUTHS MAY BELIEVE YOU ARE SO AMAZING BECAUSE YOU ARE A COPYCAT AND YOU STEAL, THANKS TO SHAKIRA, BRITNEY, MARIAH, JOSEPHINE BAKER, AMONG OTHER ARTISTS. NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL-NICE TRY BUT NO CIGAR. TRY NOT TO BE SO COMMERCIALIZED FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, IS THAT POSSIBLE? THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT U DO NOT DESERVE ALL OF THE CREDIT OR ATTENTION YOU HAVE GOTTEN-YOU SHOULD TAKE TIPS FROM LAURYN HILL, ALICIA KEYS, NORAH JONES= ALL ORIGINALITY & THEIR WORK CAN BE CLAIMED AS THEIR OWN. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME & MANY OTHERS (WHO KNOW WHAT REAL QUALITY MUSIC IS) WHY, BUT IM PRETTY SURE YOUR ENTIRELY UNNATURAL LOOK IS WHY FOLKS WHO CANT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN FAKE AND REAL IS WHY THEY ARE SO OBSESSED WITH YOU-LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED, IF ONLY THEY KNEW BETTER. THERE IS ALSO NO NEED FOR THE HOUSE OF DEREON CLOTHING LINE, YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY ALREADY DEAR. WAY TO BE ARROGANT, HER HEAD DOES NOT NEED TO BE ANY BIGGER THAN IT ALREADY IS, IT WILL BLOW UP. I FEEL BAD FOR HER, IT WILL ALL GO TO HER HEAD SOON ENOUGH. IN HER OWN LITTLE WORLD WITH MOMMY, DADDY, AND JAY-Z. PRETTY PITIFUL. GOOD DAY, FOLKS!

    I thought Beyonce was horrifying in Dream Girls. Her performance of "Listen" was flat and off-key. But, I may have to write an article defending Beyonce. She does not belong in the class of Madonna, Janet, Mariah, or Whitney, but she does not belong with the Britney Spears camp either. Despite the backlash against her that seems to be escalating, she has been very successful. "Irreplaceable" is not only an incredible song, but a very successful one too. Maybe it's not her that makes me totally sick; it's her daddy Matthew.

    Also, she takes way TOO MUCH credit for her so called "accomplishments." She claims she writes the songs but if you check the credits, there's always like 8 other people who have written the songs with her. She takes the credit for writing Surivior, when in fact the other girls wrote on it too along with a team of writers. She says she wrote Irreplacable", when actually NE-YO wrote the song, all she did were the harmonies. There are so many other songs that she DID NOT actually write but I don't have time to list them. All in all, if you crazed fans want to delude yourself into thinking that Beyonce is the best singer, well then that's your business, but PLEASE, I beg of you, don't lie by saying she's an actually songwriter!

    I think that whoever wrote this column is a hater! Beyonce has a great voice and a wide vocal range. I think that it is foolish to compare her to other artists whom are long gone from the music scene. We are talking about now. Times are different. I think that Beyonce is a great example of a diva and anyone who disagrees wish to either be like her or hates the fact that she is a successful individual.

    Look....throughout the whole stinking article that you wrote....you were constantly comparing her to WHITNEY...JANET...AND MARIAH. The careers of these ppl have fallen. Whitney a stale piece of talent and tooo old. Janet is a skanky wannabe who can only come up with sexually provocative songs like,"SO EXCITED." And ppl r ashamed to say that they are a fan of Mariah Carey..these ppl r 40 yrs old and r OLD. Alicia Keys is average. Her songs aren't memorable or HUGE hits like, "CRAZY IN LOVE." She also has no dance moves or looks to support her, just a piano. She's also not an icon, B is a POP ICON (proved!). Whitney and Mariah had nervous breakdowns, and they are extremely stale. Alicia Keys never comes up with anything new, the same old stuf that my gran listens to. There you have it! And norah jones has fallen, no chart toppers. Too bad, she can read bedtime stories to oLD ppl now.

    Beyonce is a fat hoe who wears too much weave and make-up (which makes me wonder why she feels she has to wear so much make-up), with a nasal voice that is so obnoxious. That #%&@* needs to go sit down and decide whether or not she wants to make actually music, or this fluff that you all are so crazy about, with its simple beats, elementary school lyrics, and nasal, uncontrolled vocals!

    All I have to say to her fans is: GET A LIFE BITCHES!!!!!

  • 118 - Hmm...

    Apr 05, 2007 at 12:59 am

    Beyonce is an absolutely spectacular artist. Sales figures or any other such thing can't take away from that. While I understand the perspective that this article's using, I feel like it is slightly misguided. Sales and chart achievements must be incorporated with other more qualitative components to determine just how great a musician is. It's not a simple process, but the analysis of Beyonce's music given here is poor and rather forgettable.

    I can't believe this is such a relevant topic. How about hte war in Iraq, the pending strain with Iran, the genocide in Darfur, better yet, New Orleans struggle to re-build itself (which Beyonce and her camp are still contributing too). If you don't like her or what she does or what she looks or sounds like then simply turn the radio station or turn off the t.v. and read a damm book! She never claimed to be a Diva, that's just what others like to call her. Anyone that claims to dislike her...fine! but don't put her down. Can you do it better? if so then do it! Remember when Britney, Christina, Jessica, Madonna, and other white pop stars were stealing the spot light...we were mad as hell "oh! they stole are sound, they stole our look" Now we have a mega star and not only that..but she is the biggest star in the world! Lets celebrate the achievement! you don't have to like it but at least respect it!

    Beyonce is the greatest singer in the world!!
    She can dance amazingly, she can sing amazingly and she can entertain at the same time.
    No singer will ever be as good as beyonce.
    Christina is a hoe who just screams and wants to be someone she isnt.

    BEYONCE IS THE BEST EVER I LOVE HER SOOO MUCH.
