This follows in one of the most singular and important tenets of Bey-losophy. We heard this as early as “Bills, Bills, Bills,” and “Independent Women (Part I)” with Destiny’s Child. Power is built and cultivated and yes, it is even a tangible thing one can acquire. “OK, ladies now let’s get in formation," she adds at the end. "You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation. Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper." As long as we live in this world with these systems, the best manner of disrupting, of surviving, of taking what’s yours is using the same methods they might have used on you. For Beyoncé (and for her listeners, too), the unapologetic embracing of oneself and the power one can harness when making a name, livelihood, and legacy can’t ever be ignored or taken for granted.

Originally posted by ezra The snotty Bowie/Grace/Madonna crowd that dedicate their lives to "proving!" Gaga is somehow lessor. All 3 of those dead people have a lot of buttkissing on Gaga's part. If it weren't for her they'd all be forgotten and we'd be Brittany-fied and Katy-fied (whose influences include the prestigious teen bubblegum pop years and stop 15 years back).

Originally posted by Bríseis The way how monsters feel the need attack the person that was closest to Bowie, who is probably hurt the most by his loss and is still mourning just because he didnt kiss Gagas ass after the tribute ... How respectful...

Originally posted by ezra The formation era will immortalize Beyonce in a Madonna-like way. I always thought Rihanna would end up going that distance but she crumbled. All of this news is terrorizing for the Army.

Originally posted by YR. Ezra, i'm glad to see you praising another artist.

FORMATION is the biggest stament-song that I have ever heard in my life. It's incredible, it's just one of the moments that solidified Beyoncé as a legend. Beyoncé is UNAPOLOGETICALLY black and your opinion about it doesn't matter. The undeniable praise, the SUPPORT from the public, the fact that everyone is talking about it. The fact that it made the Brazilian news. The fact that it's the most talked about song since Hello.

It's all too much. THIS IS A LEGEND. Beyoncé destroyed all of her peers. The most incredible artist of our generation (one of, because Gaga).
