Okay so I know every artist gets their share of hate on ATRL and this is by no means any sort of pity party. However, I'm just trying to wrap my head around what it is about Beyoncé's continuous success that genuinely bothers people so much that they have to go out of their way to downplay her accomplishments [mostly ones that exceed those of certain other artists].

"Yeah, she has 20 Grammys but most of them are R&B + her father bought them so they don't count"
"Yeah, her album was successful but it was frontloaded so not really"
"Yeah, she's a great performer but all she does is shake her ass"
"Yeah, she's very relevant and popular 17 years into her career but that's only bc she's a celebrity now like Kim Kardashian"
"Yeah, she has a Pepsi deal but she's promoting obesity"
"Yeah, she tried to raise awareness about current racial issues in America, but Ledisi should have sang because Beyoncé has no soul"


It seems there is always a negative reason for anything good she accomplishes and it happens with her ONLY.
What is it? Anger? Jealousy? Other? As a fan, I would like to know.

I don't know.

The Hive attacks artists for no reason and won't let people have their own opinions or support anyone who is not Beyoncé.

Beyoncé is very talented, for sure, but just because someone doesn't like a song or album of hers doesn't mean that they're 'coming for her'.

They'll say anything to downplay her success in order to bring her down to their own fave's level. She's already a legend so I guess that bothers some.

She is on a level their faves dream of reaching.

I feel like there's a lot of Bey ass kissing on this site though?

I guess you only notice the negativety towards an artist if they're your fave

Originally posted by OnlyManInTheWorld I see, guys, what y'all are trying to do. Unfortunately, we'll never forget about how confident you were as far as Beyonce's AOTY win was concerned, and what a shock i was for you, when she did tragically lose the award to an unknown musician. Grammys 2015 weren't her success no matter what you're trying to say. She lost in two important categories.
