Discussion: Do we really orbit Beyonce?

cherrychapstick

"Beyoncé now has an astronomical lock on the world’s attention. We orbit her," A New York Times article claims. Do we really orbit Beyonce?

Trent W

Only an idiot will orbit around her.

I'm a fan of her and her music but there it stops.

Robinladen

Yes, we live in a Beyonce world.

TeemoR

Yes it's all about Beyonce.

Tristan

Shinning

Those who are into pop culture definitely do.

And she has a bigger grip on those who don't than most of her peers bar maybe Adele.

Beyondslay

Well. With all these comparison threads...

WalkingOnCharts

I don't

Anvarie

Yes, no current popstar sans Adele commands as much media attention and respect

AMENHOOKER

No. The media just shoves her down our throats 24/7 and praises her for everything, even when it's not needed (Beyoncé could walk down a flight of stairs and people would liken it to Jesus' resurrection). It's all hype and I'm not buying it.

J a y

Yes, the 21st century Jess Smith.

Basically. Beyonce` along with Gaga because they're both captivating in more ways than one.

No one outside the realms of pop culture gives a ****, though.

Brinny Baby

Maybe the black community.

So basically Beyoncé is talked about in the media 24/7 (you don't like it, okay?) so we do orbit her
