Why do you guys think Beyonce is so damn sucessful?!?!?!

I start this thread due to the recent "Cheak On It" debate (or whatever you wanna call it). I mean, Bee even said herself that this song started off as a joke. She didn't even know this song was gonna do this well. It was obviously not even marketed to be a #1 single. It barely got any promotion aside from the video. Beyonce said she was just playing around with the track, and now it's the #1 single in the U.S for like the 2nd week in the row!

And when you think about it, Beyonce single-handedly just dismantled other female r&b acts like Ashanti, Brandy, Monica, & Mya. I mean, Beyonce accomplished more in one album, than those girls did in their entire career. It's like all about Beyonce. Those girls don't even have a chance to be quite frank!

It's like, whatever Beyonce touches turns to gold. She is probably the only reason why "The Pink Panther" will be sucessful. So why do you guys think Beyonce is so sucessful. Or in other words, what sets her apart from her competition?

Well, Beyonce's reputation is her Destiny's Child days so that helps her out too remember.....

I still can't even see how Check On It is doing this well.

1. She is absolutely beautiful
2. She has so much talent
3. She has an amazing voice

Its just strange, people love her and what she does.

She's a bombshell with a pure voice, and she's managed to pick some big hits.

Now Marquis, lets not get ahead of ourselves lol. Beyonce has yet to sell what "Never Say Never" sold.

NOTE/WARNING: Highly possible that I will get off topic.

I really don't see why America likes Beyonce so much. I know why I like Beyonce, but me and this country don't think the same. I was reading a very interesting article in Billboard magazine concerning why a song becomes a hit. Most Americans, not all, seem to judge a song based on how they think others will like it. If they think others will like it, they'll like it too. In other words, they're followers and they don't have their own opinions.

If you noticed, we've been at a musical hault for the past 6 years thanks to the Hip-Hop explosion that deprived many of their creativity and individuality. Things are now percieved differently, more ignorantly in my opinion. If artists like Beyonce, one who is known for booty-shaking dance R&B hits to the mainstream public, would release her more daring and original tracks like"Yes" (which I'm pretty sure she'll do on her next album) and if there were more rappers like Kanye & Nas around, I'm pretty sure we'll progress again. But for now, we're f---ed.

I'm with Brian on why I like Beyonce, but I don't know why the rest of the country does so much. I guess it's simply she's pretty good looking, can actually sing, and DC3 was the hottest girl group of the past..7-8 yrs?

And I wouldn't say Beyonce single-handedly "dismantled" any other R&B female's career. Yes, people may have said "she's trying to be Beyonce, or "she can't sing as good as Beyonce", but comparisons to someone better doesn't kill your album. Not being able to sing live and going on a lot of awards shows may do this (Ashanti), never promoting too much (Mya) may do this. But not Bee. She's not that powerful. Plus, I think Monica could hold her own with Bee.

And yes, DIL ain't touching Never Say Never.

The girl can SAAAAAANGG

She's gorgeous


She's as huge as she should be, I mean a person with her talent should blow up like that. Monica isn't blown out the water, and neither is Brandy, but Bee will give them a run for their money...

beyonce has something, i cant describe it...but its soo addictive and you just want to hear her music. I see her being a mixture of whitney and madonna minus all their drama 10 years from now. She'll be around for a long time.

Because we can Mr. Hero...BECAUSE WE CAN.

i seriously cant understand why check on it doing well i mean it s a song about asses ?!?!?! that s just so odd and not likeable for me, i dont like her much but ya she is hot , her booty covers whole screen but hell yeah she is still hot :P

Hey, I liked Beyonce too but as far as those who follow the ones who like the song, that might be true as well. Since she released Check On It, i've lost almost all respect for her....

This is why we have opinions....

I have no idea, Beyonce isn't anything special

1. She's sexy.

2. She has a voice. I'll admit, "Check On It" isnt the best song, seeing how she has released better quality singles solo and in DC.

2. She knows how to market herself, which sometimes plays a huge factor.

I agree. She definately knows how to market herself

i don't like her... but gotta say that she has something that really makes me wanna see her and liten to her music

i actually like Check on it...
