This tells us something about their respective careers. Skating by on being easy to digest is easy when some of your biggest competitors are actually taking real & legitimate risks musically, artistically, and pushing the art of performance, business, or any other avenue much further than you.

Beyonce's latest album is radio-friendly Top 40/Pop ... I don't know what risk you're talking about

But it eventually catches up to you. 7 albums in and what's Rih trying to say?
|
She's a pop star, she's not supposed to have anything to "say", she has hits to make, musical impact to leave ... and she has both, as opposed to Beyst who has neither

While "Flawless" was blaring in every car & club in the hood, it was being hashtagged on social media, and discussed relentlessly around the world.
|
Any song, whether a single or not, can get as many "hashtags", "plays in clubs", "plays in cars" as "Flawless", you just see what you want and ignore what you want.

And every round table panel dissecting the message would explode with passionate arguments & opinions about Beyoncé's feminism, marriage, music, entrepreneurship, etc.

If her celebrity overshadowing her music proves anything, Beyonce is literally the less global version of Kim/Paris.

All those hits and for what? She's not richer

There's no difference between $100m and $400m when you're young, hot, globally loved for your music, have an amazing taste, and know how to enjoy life.
I'll ask you something ...
What can Beyst do with a $400 million ?
Is she allowed to have sex with anyone but an abusive ugly camel?
It's a Kii if she does cheat on him, a Kii if she doesn't, and her whole life will forever be a Kii.
Does she dare to do a nude photoshoot like Rihanna did?
Does she even dare to release a sexual song/video without releasing 5-10 explanations of why she did that, making even more of a joke of herself by relating them to "feminism"?
No, because she will forever be a fake robot
She has locked herself in that "perfection" cage and threw the keys far away ... As bad as she wants, tt's too late to change that picture
If only enough people knew about her existence to give her a global hit, let alone "revere" her.

she doesn't draw a larger audience (touring or ratings wise)
|
When Beyst was 27, she was grossing $120m on tour
When Rihanna was 25, she was grossing $140m on tour
and that's exactly why she's sold more records than Beyst and her band combined ...

I find it funny how the Navy celebrates single success as THE ends to the means. Like there's nothing more important beyond that. But slé!

At least they don't put celebrity hype and non-music related talk on top.
