Embrace your bigger than life statut and deliver internationally like you've been doing. I mean look at a song like Running, it was like nothing but Europe jumped on it and if that guy wasn't on it, it would be a worldwide hit without being on album. It shows that her international fans are missing pop Beyonce. They will never accept a Beyonce completely Urban. They will need their IASF type of ballads and bops and if Beyonce is smart, she would continue to deliver them because not only it is good financially but also to keep her star power and tour power..

Beyonce, as you say, is a larger than life musician, so as one, she should be able to deliver both quality and mass appeal in one. She shouldn't have to pick the sides. The fact that you're encouraging her to record more meaningless, middle-of-the-road trash, only so that she could appeal more to Europe and us white people...
