Rihanna makes better songs than Beyonce, and Beyonce makes better albums.
Beyonce's album discog is solid, her singles collection (just solo) is basic. Rihanna's singles collection is strong, her album discog is basic. It's pretty obvious this is what it's always been.....Dunno why its the same debate each time.
If RiANAL made better songs she would have more grammys than Beyoncé. RiANAL songs are just hot for 2 seconds are then totallt forgotten. She's like a one night stand with a strong ass dick which stays hard for the first 2 minutes and then nuts. It's only great @ the beginning, then you block his calls.
You can write an arrangement of a cover. Everyone knows that.
Rhennastan doesn't realize. Just spewing her nonsensical ********.
Must be so tiring, day after day after day, to abhor that much bitterness in ha heart.
Hopefully she don't die from the hate.
MTV: How would you describe the overall vibe of the album?
Kelly: It's full of moods: love moods, party moods, you're-chilling-in-the-club moods.
Beyoncé: It's the type of album you'd listen to if you're feeling kind of down or you feel like you need to conquer something or survive something. It gives you that confidence and self-esteem. ... Everybody is singing lead on all of the songs, so it gives it a more Destiny's Child feel. It adds so much.
MTV: Beyoncé, you produced and wrote almost every single track on the album. Why did you decide to do that?
Beyoncé: It wasn't decided for me to write and produce the whole album. I only wanted to do like three songs.
Kelly: But she can't help herself. She just writes hits.
Beyoncé: Thank you, Kelly. I wrote and produced "Independent Women [Part 1]" and "Jumpin', Jumpin'." Then I did "Survivor" and "Bootylicious" and the label loved it. [Same with] "Nasty Girl," "Emotions," "Happy Face," and "Apple Pie a la Mode." The label kept saying, "Do another song, do another song, do another song." It wasn't planned. It wasn't something like I said, "OK, I'm going to take charge."
Kelly: A great thing is Beyoncé is a writer and a producer. She will open up the doors to younger writers and producers that are females.
MTV: Still, as the group's leader, you must face a lot of pressure. Is the song "Happy Face" an attempt to explain what you go through every day?
Beyoncé: You read something [in the press], you hear something crazy and you get sad and depressed. I was the type of child always that if someone didn't like me, it killed me. My whole thing was to wonder why and to fix it. When someone makes up something, it really hurts, and I'm very sensitive. When I read crazy stuff that's why I went through a depression [after the lineup] changes in the group. There's nothing you can do to fix it unless you go around talking about it, and if it's in the past and you don't want to bring it up, you're put in a weird situation. One day I woke up and it was a beautiful day outside, and I was like, "You know, I can feel God. I'm happy and I'm blessed. All of us are blessed."
MTV: The Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb said he likes your cover of "Emotion."
Beyoncé: Whoa, that's amazing.
Kelly: You're always scared to do cover songs 'cause the artists, they're legends. The Bee Gees are legends and we just wanted to do it right so if he says it's cool with him, then yay!
MTV: What made you choose, of all songs, to cover that one?
Beyoncé: Our manager, Mathew Knowles, told us we should do it. We always feel scared about doing cover songs, 'cause if they're not as good, then you shouldn't even waste your time. We didn't know if we could do it, so instead of trying to compete, we did it different and added our Destiny's Child flavor to it. Vocally, it's the strongest song on our album. It features everybody you can really hear all our voices. All of us are very thankful to the Bee Gees for writing that [beautiful] song.
MTV: What is the importance of the album's last track, "Outro (DC-3) Thank You," in which you praise one another and God?
Beyoncé: It's the most important song on the album.
Kelly: I know that when we all wrote the song we were very emotional, because it was written for each other and [for ourselves]. It was kind of hard to record it, because we [got] choked up.
Beyoncé: It's really funny, 'cause some people have criticized that "Thank You" thing. But Kelly, they [are] just hating. It's weird, 'cause whenever you do something different, people have something to say 'cause they don't understand it. I think we have made music history with this album, and I think people will start doing a lot more things like Survivor.
MTV: How do you feel about the position of women in the music business?
Beyoncé: I think a lot of great artists opened the doors for female artists, like the Supremes and Aretha Franklin, and now I know it's so much easier for women ... [but] it's still hard.
Beyoncé: Guys can go onstage and take off their shirts and girls are going to scream, scream, scream.
Kelly: And sometimes they don't even have a [good] body.
Beyoncé: But girls can get on the stage and they have to work extra, extra hard. It's just really hard for women. And for writers, it's very, very hard. And me being young, it's ridiculously hard. To this day people do not know that my name is[listed] last [in credits], even if I write the majority of the song; or they don't want to say "co-produced [by me]." They don't even want to give me the credit.
I didn't want people to know [that I wrote songs] for this album, because people automatically form an opinion when they know the artist wrote the songs. If it wasn't for the fans I wanted the fans to know I would have put a different name on there. It's amazing when people know you write the song, they just have this whole little thing, especially when you're 19 and a woman.
the whole thing is REALLY embarrassing The last paragraph
She looks really pretty here
