I'm not, I was asking this due to credibility

That has nothing to do with credibility.. none of this is fact, so regardless of what I thought, that wouldn't make my opinion of 4 > Blackout false in any way..

Not really. I'm a music lover and don't find 4 appealing at all. Typical Beyoncé.

Is that why she scored a #1 hit and two top 10 hits last year while your fave hasn't seen the top 10 in 4 years?

And LOL @ 30 year old women. When she came out most of her fanbase were kids/young teens not people who were the same age as her. You tried though.

And WHO exactly knows what 4 is? You guys do too much with that album acting like it's gonna down as some classic, when in reality it'll be forgotten in a year if it isn't already.

People definitely know what 4 is.There's a reason her REVEL concert sold out so fast, there's a reason Love on Top was #1 for 7 weeks on Urban, there's a reason her album went Platinum, there's a reason she had the most tweets in a minute ever when she announced her pregnancy during the VMA's.

I bet if Brit announced she was pregnant, hardly anyone outside of ATRL would go crazy for it.

Last five years = all time. Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

Again, that was my opinion. I need not to repeat my answer but y'all keep on repeating the same damn questions.

Right. One reviewer. Rob Sheffield believes that Blackout is arguably the most influential pop album of the last 5 years, which is fine; it's a valid opinion. All I'm saying is that the Rolling Stone editors never made a list of the most influential pop albums of the last 5 years and put Blackout at the top.

Of course they didn't.

Plus, The Times named Blackout the fifth best pop album of last decade.

If the critics aren't enough, let's take note the readers.

7 BLACKOUT Britney Spears

There's no denying the fact that Blackout indeed left a huge impact in today's pop music.

Because it's a hotel lobby.

Good Girl Gone Bad and The Fame were more influential than Blackout if we're talking about what set the tone for music trends. Rihanna spearheaded the resurgence of the dance-pop trend in America with that album and then Gaga got it swinging full force with The Fame.

And 4 isn't considered as a masterpiece or something like that, so cut the BS. It's just said as a great Rnb album and Bey's best or second album. That's it.

Whereas the Army calls Blackout one of the best pop albums of all time.

We never claimed it was one of the greatest albums of all time (sans Kh-Loud but that's typical), Shoot some of us don't even think it's the best of Beyoncé's discography. Where do they get this ******** from?

that's because she already has kids, so if she get's pregnant it would be diferent.

1st pregnancy always makes a bigger impact. Besides I didn't knew Love On Top was #1 for 7 weeks on urban, I didn't know she was doing a Revel Concert and I didn't knew it sold out, nor know my friends and family.

Maybe because a SINGER is supposed to SING, but Britney pretty much speaks her songs.

Explain that to me, SIS.

Already Reported

Whatever, I'm not having this discussion anymore, since it's clearly turned into a stan war rather than a conversation about actual quality. Blackout and 4 are both awesome albums; I like 4 slightly more. Bye.

Umbrella had the impact not GGGB. The Fame and Blackout had impact.

Keep Trying

and for the record, Good Girl Gone Bad wasn't full euro-pop.

It only had Breaking Dishes and Don't Stop The Music. The rest are pop-rock and urban

It's four minutes of Beyoncé patting herself on the back. Such a completely average song.

[Harmonic Dreamer]

"There's nothing safe about it, I know that much," says The-Dream, who cowrote Beyoncé's career-redefining anthem, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," and was called in to help pen the new album's lead single. "That [kind of song treatment] would never happen with any other artist of her stature, male or female."

"I feel like my job in the industry is to push the limits, and I have to constantly evolve," Beyoncé explains of her new direction,

It's definitely riskier than something a bit more...simple. I just heard the track and loved that it was so different: it felt a bit African, a bit electronic and futuristic.
