Huffington Post: Beyoncé's TIME 100 Title Solidifies Her As Pop Music's Reigning Queen
Beyoncé landed at the top of the TIME 100, TIME Magazine's annual list most influential people. Hailed as the first "Titan" mentioned and the issue's cover star, Beyoncé was lauded for breaking all the rules in the music biz and championing women's rights to lead.
In keeping with TIME's tradition of casting cultural icons to write affectionate blurbs about the honorees, LeanIn.org founder Sheryl Sandberg wrote the ode to Beyoncé. "Beyoncé doesn’t just sit at the table. She builds a better one," she wrote.
Bey also nabbed a spot on the list last year, where she was then labeled as an "Icon." In the article written by director Baz Lurhmann, he complimented her work ethic and warmth. "When Beyoncé does an album, when Beyoncé sings a song, when Beyoncé does anything, it’s an event, and it’s broadly influential," he wrote. "Right now, she is the heir-*apparent diva of the USA -- the reigning national voice."
Only a year later and Beyoncé is no one's heir-apparent. She's pop music's queen.
Lovely very lovely.I try to tell haters on atrl that with or without reciepts that Beyonce remains the most respected and highly rated musician of her generation,but they never listen!.
And this is why she has so many haters. You have to balance out the neverending praise and slayage, it's just not fair on everyone else. It must suck to not like TITAN though.
