Discussion: Why does Beyonce not stand out?

Repo

So, I know Bey is very talented and successful artist with some big hits and a great album gimmick for B5, but I was wondering why is it that she doesn't stand out. Shes respected, but she doesn't have that trademark iconic moment or quality that a lot of other pop girls do. Madonna revolutionized the genre, Christina has her voice, Mariah has her voice and 18 #1s, Britney has her success/BOMT/Oops!/Slave/Toxic/tons of performances/dancing, Katy has her hits, Gaga has her gimmicks....

And I don't understand why it is that Queen Bey lacks something so iconic and defining that people think of it when they think of her. The closest she's come is Single Ladies, but that's mainly iconic because of Kanye and not Bey so

Discuss and keep it cute!

*moments or quality, don't cut stuff out. Katy's 6-7+ #1s are very iconic, and even people who hate pop know Xtina can outtsing their fav

You know you're desperate for a "drag" when you resort to this. Beyoncé doesn't stand out? Really? Beyoncé, of all artists... You say this with a Christina avatar

Go play with yourself or something.

Worry about Crustina sis

If you experienced OTR tour live, you wouldn't even have words to describe her talents. She rules the stage better than ever these days. And

Too many to list between her incredible and universally praised work ethic, unmatched performance and vocal skills by modern performers, countless well-liked hit singles (including arguable classics Crazy In Love, Irreplaceable & Single Ladies), well-recognized contribution to the one of the biggest female groups of all time, list of accolades and awards from multiple award shows, and last but not least, her game-changing and arguably iconic last album release.

Those are just off the top of my head but I didn't even hit them all.

i've said this many times before, but to me, i feel like she has NO personality

every time she speaks in an interview she sounds so fake and disconnected

i don't think of her as having a soul, or having any kind of intimate personal qualities to her
like when she's talking to blue i feel like she's so monotone and boring with her

...and Beyonce has the brand. You can take away a lot of things from her but her name is her trademark, she is her own business and it's huge.
