	What do you think of her? Do you think she's the most talented female artist of her generation? Do you think she's massively overrated? Even though it isn't really possible to hold the latter stance.

Music wise I think she has been really inconsistent for years (she has some absolute gems as singles but her albums quite sucked really) and I think it's only with her new album that she has finally found her "sound" and it's magnificent. The only thing she lacks is emotion though, I've never been moved by any of her ballads, studio or live. "Halo" quite managed that but still, she is so bad at putting emotions in her sad songs This post has been edited by Hayzayy: 2nd April 2014, 05:44 PM

The way people talk about her as if she's god really annoys me, it's the worst on Twitter.

Her real name is Begodcé for a reason JK But I really like her, her music has been great since IASF in my opinion. It remains her best album yet, but both 4 and Beyoncé are incredibly close. Not too fond on her albums before that. I just can't get into her. She's a great vocalist and shows it off while dancing her ass off and I like that about her. She's not my favourite artist, but she's definately up there This post has been edited by *Tim: 3rd April 2014, 05:37 PM

With that being said, her music is hit and miss and she lacks a certain something in my eyes to make her an icon on the same level as Madonna/Britney.

something you consider rare Joined: 25 February 2007 Posts: 57,223 User: 2,990	To compare Jessica Cornish with Bey on any imaginable level is a complete joke. She's THE pop culture superstar of this generation. And while I don't listen to her music as much as some of my other faves, she simply has to be respected for making the leap from talented but inconsistent pop puppet (circa the first three, arguably four albums) to somebody who has revolutionised pop music. So basically I think she's great.

BuzzJack Regular Joined: 27 April 2013 Posts: 384 User: 18,700	I like Beyonce but her best album imo is still "I Am...Sasha Fierce" and nothing since has topped that although 4 is a great album and most of the tracks of her last album are incredible. I do think she always delivers album-wises. and I do think she's probably the best artist releasing music at the current moment but at the same time I don't think she deserved a 17 minute VMA Performance, that's what tours are for? to perform your album's tracks, not to cram them all into a 15 minute time slot. It ruins it for me but I do give her credit for stamina and carrying on as most popstars probably couldn't even be bothered to perform, never mind do a 17 minute set. I do believe with the user who said her singles are very hit and miss it seems commercially her singles chart anywhere but at the same time she is Beyonce and has achieved so much commercially, she probably doesn't care at this point, she has enough no. 1's/top 10's worldwide to satisfy the greediest singer. She has undeniable talent but her potential hasn't been fulfilled since "I Am..." for me although Countdown, I Was Here, Drunk In Love, Flawless and Heaven are all 10/10 tracks.

I've got all her albums and like a load of her singles, but I can't really fully invest myself in her. She's definitely a captivating performer though and is every inch the superstar.
