I love Beyonce. Maybe your Rihanna bias is preventing you from seeing how Rih has impacted Bey's music and image.

Jack!

Well, she's a popstar, so of course.

These aren't even intellectual discussion points.
The song she released is in the same vein as Diva.

Everything else is moot:
-She signed a Pepsi deal, people wrote articles.
-She sang at the inauguration, a media sh*tstorm brewed. **
-She posed on a magazine cover, the detractors came with their dissertations.
-She performed at the Superbowl, her memes went viral

She's going about her business while everyone is trying to get their two cents in.
If there's controversy around her, it's because people like you are doing the absolute most.

**EVEN BEFORE the inauguartion, there was a petition against her on the governments website

I forgot about the controversy that Pepsi deal got. Including the PETITION against her to perform because of it. SO MANY athletes and stars have had multi million soft drink deals, but they made such a big deal about Beyonce.

She really is held to a higher standard, and people just nitpick what they want about her.

I understand your point, however Beyonce like I said before said she wouldn't resort to controversy in order to get attention. I understand that the media/public making some of this controversy a bit bigger than it should be. However at this point its coming across kind of forced, she knew the media was going to make this a big deal. Usually B strayed away from these kinds of attentions, however now she is feeding them herself. For what? I mean she already had attention right?

She just shared snippets of her new album and has people talking. That's not looking for controversy, that's having POWER.

You toddlers are so brand new.

Oh God,, all artists use controversy for buzz. Beyonce has always been watched and discussed no matter what she does :\

Callisto.

How the **** is posing for a Men's magazine and cursing something she has done for years cause controversy?

Demiboyx

nnn the only person she is copying or taking a sheet out of their book is Mr Carter himself, she even used the same producer that produced N***as in Paris and named her tour the Mrs Carter Show..

You tried LEM, but sadly you failed, now Hive attack and go back to previous pages and serve him his points!!

For Beyonce they are because in the past she vowed to remained classy. This is a side of Beyonce the general pubis hasn't seen much, thats why there is a bit of talk around it.

omg you are perched in this thread! stop speaking on behalf of the general public, you don't know what the general public has or hasn't seen.

There's a "bit of talk around it" because it's the first new music she's dropped in nearly 2 years, because you know, Beyoncé takes breaks between her records and leaves the general public thirsting for more. But you wouldn't know much about that.

I don't get it.

Rihanna stans: Beyonce is copying Rihanna for being ratchet.

Beyonce stans: Beyonce has done stuff like Bow Down before. *shows examples*

Rihanna stans: That's not ratchet! THIS is ratchet *shows Cockiness and other dirty songs*

...

They basically just proved our point. Beyonce isn't copying Rihanna because she isn't doing what Rihanna is doing. And even if Beyonce wanted to sing about the sunshine between her legs, Rihanna is hardly the first to bring sex into her music.

Is this Rihanna's thread?

I swear, everytime there is a Beyonce thread, Rihanna's name is somehow thrown in the mix.

Her power.

He's stirring sh*t for no reason. He doesn't even stan for Rih.
It's just a classic case of Knee stans using more successful and relevant artists as a front.

It's what I do.

A buzz track is controversy?
In that case, Run the World was pretty controversial....
I mean she used "n*ggas", "f you, pay me", and flipped the bird in the video...
So I don't see a big difference here.

Meaning this isn't anything new, meaning your argument falls flat.

Now all of a sudden, Beyonce's talking about "Bow Down Bitches" behind similar beats and flashing her ****...??

Rihanna did make it popular to be a bit more Rachet!

Example. Cake like Lady Gaga
