Why should they promote competition.

This is where you are mistaking. They are not her competition, she quadruples most of their sales even when she isn't selling 7 million worldwide. They are ALL jealous of her for many reasons and growing up a community like ours, I'm sure you know why.
She has become the single most successful African American female entertainer OF ALL TIME, no one can deny that. Doors were cracked half open, she came along and shoved them down without apologizing for it. She sings, she dances, she acts, and she does it all well, and is successful in doing it all. Female entertainers of every color wish they could claim this but they can't, and since were specifically speaking on R&B singers I will keep the conversation aimed at them.
Beyonce started off as one of them, we all know this. BUT, unlike them, she developed her craft into perfection! She didn't stick to the R&B forumla and try to keep her career alive with it like they do. She took risks, she became a performer, and most of all she became INTERNATIONAL, something many of them have not mastered. None of them will ever make a song like
Deja Vu, ever in their lifetime, because they aren't as innovative in thinking as she is. She also has the power of appeal that many of them don't use even when they do have it. They can point all the fingers they want, but Beyonce knows what she is doing. People are attracted to what is familiar, so she can be the hood chick, but she can also be the pretty blonde, and that is a power everyone needs, which is why she is probably the most successful at attacking all markets. As for her material being better, she is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the other girls when it comes to music. I am a R&B follower, and Beyonce puts them all to shame and always has. She has critical acclaim for all areas, and has 16 Grammys to back that up, she has the most BET Awards, VMAs, EMAs, and etc....
She seems perfect and that attracts hate.
- Raw talent.
- Lead roles in Blockbuster films.
- An average of 6.75 million worldwide per album.
- Dedicated fans that have stood by her for over 13 years.
- Worldwide acceptance and respect.
- Awards from every important area in entertainment.
- A beautiful face, body, and heart.
- A famous husband.
Not to mention she is one of the few that gets to do things that most R&B singers dont.
She covers magazines they will never get to cover.
She sings at events they will never get to sing at.
She works with producers and artists they will never get to work with.
She sells the amount of records worldwide they will never sell.
She is even portraying an iconic film character usually played by white actresses next year.
They have to constantly sit at award shows and watch her DOMINATE the stage like they know they never can. Beyonce is the EPITOME of what the modern popular entertainer should be. And whether or not people recognize and/or acknowledge that, it is true. And she has all the attributes and accomplishments to back up my claim.
