No shade, but most of the time she pre-records those.. Or, she stops dancing, then she sings.

Okay so if her dancing isn't her great, and it seems so ordinary since "most of the time she pre-records those or stops dancing, then she sings" why is she a better dancer than Rihanna, Katy, Ke$ha, Gaga and currently Britney?

You would be suprised at how people outside of ATRL say things about most of these popstars..young and old.

Well most people don't even give a **** about these girls.

Especially (logically) straight guys. They're talking boobs/legs/asses lbr lol.

Fair enough. And everyone gets their share of hate too. But she is NOT the most hated here.

How? Rihanna gets called the Queen of Pop.
Katy is apparently the Female MJ.
Everything Britney seems to do is iconic.
Gaga gets so much hate and so does Bey.

Because Rihanna, Katy, Kesha, and Gaga, simply can't dance. I NEVER said Beyoncé can't dance at all.....

You're not looking at the big picture and not even the correct one.

1. Yeah, her fans call her that, just like bey fans call her King B
2. ^
3. that's her stans thing too

4. you can't be serious? Gaga fans pretty much trash everyone else's faves. And the Bey stans - while not so blatantly - do the same, I'm not trying to generalize here, but you can't ignore it, it happens a lot around here.
Gaga gets called Queen Of Pop daily here too, by her stans, I personally wouldn't think it's a bad thing had it ended there like the other situations. Sometimes I feel Gaga/Bey stans take things too far. Let's take the humble pill more often gurls, lol.

You're right. I know that, because I frequent music forums like this one. The GP don't, they don't care about those things, only if they are fans of the artists. Some people think Rihanna is a better singer than Bey (no shade), some don't even know/care she's THAT good of a singer, so this ''perfect'' image of her y'all tend to show to us her don't exactly translate to the public. And I think you can see that by her overall mediocre success all around.

Mediocre success all around? 4 was the only mediocre success she's experienced.

There's nothing polarizing about her art.

And haters? Every popstar has them.

Comedor

Because she has it all.

Beyond Say

Don't know what it is about her, but whether it was the "uh oh" dance, having black women everywhere calling themselves independent women, bootylicious & not being ready for this jelly, "to the left!", singe ladies/put a ring on it, etc.

Beyonce's dances, phrases, lyrics, and slang over the last 16 years have spawned words in the dictionary, TV show titles, dance names, terms, and have penetrated pop culture in a way that I can't say any other of her contemporaries or peers have.

What is it about her that makes almost everything she does each era a movement as opposed to just a song & video?

She is so important to pop culture. It goes beyond charts and Grammys.

This is why I try to just ignore the hate that people try to throw on her. I'm shocked that people even try to compare her to people that don't even have 1/100th of her talent I might sound a bit pretentious but sometimes I honestly don't think that this current generation gets her, like they really don't realize the magnitude of her talent, genius, and influence. What I love about her is that no matter what you look like, where you're from, your socioeconomic background, etc her music has something for everyone! Her music just speaks to so many and makes you feel good about yourself. To me she is the embodiment of all the best qualities of the older legends, she has the talent of course, the drive, mystery, intrigue, glamour--the complete package.

She's just PERFECTION
