tbh her career has been amazing. like no big lows at all....her biggest "low" point in her career was the 4 era and even then she managed to get her biggest tour and perform at the super bowl lol
4 sold over 3 million between 2011 and 2013. Underperformance only by her standards, which is why she outsold it with selfititled.
RTW is one of her signature "hits" (check spotify, youtube and pop culture references for receipts)
Beck won over her. Big woop. Awards don't matter. She's got over 400 awards in her house anyway, so whatever.
A pretty minor example, but didn't her track skip during one of her performances early on in her solo career? I think it was either a "Crazy in Love" or "Baby Boy" performance. Beyoncé is a perfectionist when it comes to her career, which I admire and commend her for.
Star Search. AOTY. 4 was completely snubbed at the Grammys besides LOT.
LOL. 4 loses at the Grammys sans LOT, but has 4 Vevo-certified videos (with two more about to reach that level), Urban smashes, 4 at-least platinum singles, a performance on Glastonbury AND the album/lead singles leaked early? I'll take the success of 4, Alex. Bey has never taken the L except for AOY which will be righted one of these days.
The AOTY loss is a full circle moment for her. It is similar to "Star Search" in which an African American woman with urban music losing to a status quo Rock & Roll act.
She'll use the moment to fuel her career further, which she already seemed to have done with this era so far. Also, fun fact, Beck was 44 when she lost.
When she campaigned hard for that Oscar with "listen" and the song got nominated but the academy refused to acknowledge Beyoncé as one of the writers lol
She has the best(but not the biggest) career IMO of all the 2000's acts.
She has the magic to make it seem like she's always winning. I mean the elevator, lip-sync and writing credit scandals were enough to end her career but she just found a way to keep going.
The way she bounced back in 2013 was a big deal too, it was the peak of her career.
. The closest would be 4 underperforming but even it was still pretty successful. So when did she?
Bey has never taken the L except for AOY which will be righted one of these days.
