no, i personally don't see the appeal. 
why would i want 2 other girls that contribute little to nothing to try and distract me from Beyoncé, the only one i'm here for? especially when Beyoncé exceeds them & is far superior on her own? it doesn't make any sense to me.

Rihanna had nothing to do with that song. She even sung it exactly the way she heard it on the demo (because she never sung that way before). Beyonce will have a hand in the production and the vocal arrangement, she always does.

Diamonds is a Sia song sung by Rihanna.
Whatever Sia writes for Bey will be a Beyoncé song, written by Sia.

Beyoncé just is & no matter how many stealing, Mathew Knowles bought everything, no personality, local crap they come up with we all know that's not the real reason they hate her.

Continue 
I really would like to know
It's frustrating being a bey fan
Love her to death but the insults and venom/evil hurled towards her is frustrating
I'm on another site and you would think she stole the stars in the sky the way they diss her.
There are only a few bey stans there and my fingers are tired from snatching wigs
I don't know why another woman pursuing her dreams bothers people
Any whoo i need music from her

1. R&B/Soul/urban/Negro/Colored/Whatever music isn't highly regarded on current pop music forums unless it's attached to a bandwagon (i.e. Adele, Frank Ocean, Amy Winehouse, etc). If you are raised solely on a diet of TRL and Top 40 radio it may be difficult to grasp the idea that someone would actually create music to express a genuine emotion and pay homage to influences and tradition (as oppose to hopping on every trend and gimmick to a get a hit).
2. A lot of pop music fans refused to even refer to Beyonce as a legitimate pop music force until after B'Day (despite the fact that she was selling more albums and tour tickets around the world than most pop girls at the time). Most of that had to do with the fact that she received just as much (if not more) success doing R&B (the bastard child of music) than most girls did doing pop.
3. Not to say that Beyonce is above chasing hits, but her impact and notoriety isn't dependent on her placement on the Hot 100. She can headline Glastonbury, sell 300K the first week, sell out concerts and win awards off the strength of her name with or without a massive pop hit.
4. She is obviously the most highly-regarded, respected and talented artist of her generation and people get tired of hearing various celebrities praise her everyday, especially when they don't understand why she's special in the first place.

The reason is that Beyonce is the ultimate popstar with amazing vocals and skillful dance moves. And when these two elements come together you get pure stage perfection. On top of that she knows good music, she's beautiful, she's married to Jay-Z. No one else discussed on this forum matches Beyonce's talents in this regard, and while stats are neat, they know that what's important under all that marketing is talent, skill, and credibility.
EDIT: I agree with AnginaWilliams too.

I haven't heard diamonds! I need to hear it! But for the people that are worried add this to the song: harmonies, 1 more octave in range, some background runs, some riffs and bang is a totally different song with Beyonce grove!

This especially.
People don't understand how good she is. As a vocalist she's reached a very high level and she did it gradually. She was a decent singer when she was 15 and 16, but by the age of 19/20 she started to understand her voice better, but people didn't notice the changes. They still think she's only good at doing runs. I heard some people saying she sounds shrill when she sings high notes... I don't think most people know what that means... It's a little frustrating when people think Xtina or Kelly are better vocalists than Beyonce is, but it's because they don't understand.
Also her music is very different even from other R&B and pop artists. Songs like Deja Vu, Get Me Bodied and End of Time would not have been recorded by anyone but Bey. Bounce, go go beats, funk samples, soul singing, harmonic arrangements, heavy hip hop beats and lots of brass. That's what most of her music consists of and that's the opposite of what's been popular in 2007-2012.

Even Sweet Dreams, while being more electropop is really distinctively Beyonce and different than other popstars. The whole highness of "my guilty pleasure I ain't going no where / Baby long as you're here / I'll be floating on air" is in her distinctive fast-singing style, while using the higher ranges of her voice to great effect and expanding on the types of genres she can sing.

Yep. Her singing always separates her from the rest, even if the song is pop. The way she sings is still rhythmic as opposed to just melodic.

She takes EPIC-GOLDEN-TURDS on these lames. Even members of the hive take golden ***** just for stanning for the right Queen.
No one could ever. When '5' drops, the stans of talentless hacks will hate it -of course! Cause their fav just got served. DASSIT

What really tiks me off is when they say she doesn't sing live, i remember thinking "what the ****", just because her voice live is like on cd (even better than on cd in my opinion) dont mean she aint singing, it simply means she perfected her craft. There r 3 occations i can think of when she wasnt singing on tour n she didnt even pretend to sing........1. Beginning of suger mama on the beyonce experience.....2. Videophone i am world tour and 3. Dance 4 u in revel

Seeing that we are discussing haters, here's a question: what comments by the haters dont u respond to anymore? Here are mine
1. She is a devil worshiper............. I mean if u r retarded or u were not raised ryt that what u be thinking
2. The whole blue ivy/fake baby bump thing....................if u watched roseland n saw that pic in croatia with her belly hanging out, thats not what u'd be saying
3. She bleaches her skin............what the Ffff
4. She aint got personality............gweneth paltrow & jigga will beg to differ
these r some of them

Stanning for Beyoncé in ATRL is really hard.
But the Hive should just ignore the trolls. We always end up looking like the most agressive fanbase.

I don't get why everyone on atrl thinks RR & BTW are these totally risky albums.sure some of the songs are.but bday was just ****ing totally left field..nothing about that album was safe other than irreplaceable.
And guys the 'local' thing isn't just said about Beyonce.to atrl every R&B artist is local.they says it about mariah,usher,Janet each.they think huge single = globalness,but like to cancel out album sell touring & impact....
