This is what the GP thinks of Beyoncé. When somebody needs a synonym for greatness, they use her name, I've yet to see someone whose become such a household name that she's constantly being referenced in tv-shows, movies, speeches, awards as much as Bey is. Show me several moments like this where Rihanna's name was used in any place in entertainment.
Sure there were a couple of Rihanna mentions about how she got beaten by Chris, but that's not quite the same now, is it?
The Super Bowl led directly into one of the biggest tours of her career and the year.
Y'all are so obsessed with a quick chart peak or ratings that you're completely unable to evaluate whether something was a success or not.
This is why I work in the industry and y'all just talk about it online.
They're so short-sighted.
If we pretend B's career is like banking. Then everything we've watched her do over the years has been like a deposit into a bank account. Every killer performance, every video, every great tour, every critically acclaimed moment.... They've all been hefty deposits.
When she has moments where things don't pan out exactly the way she wants (like these ratings or 4), or a certain single doesn't meet certain expectations, she's good. Why? Because all the deposits over the years ensured that if "the check was short this week", she was still comfortable.
Basing a career on singles and chasing cookie cutter radio formulas is like living check to check. You ain't worth **** but what's going on right now. There's nothing memorable. There's nothing iconic. You'll pinch off that "check" until your account is at a zero balance. And now what? You gotta go grind to get another check. Because you're broke!
That's the difference between Bey and a lot of the **** that's going on right now. You can't compare.
Scarlett Johansson is speaking out again on behalf of women's rights in the face of encroaching legal restrictions on healthcare and access to birth control.
The “Avengers” and “Lucy” actress designed a shirt for Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the group announced Tuesday, as the first of its “Women are Watching” political campaign ahead of November's elections. The shirt, which is available for $25 on the organization's website, reads “Hey Politicians! The 1950s called…” on the front, and on the back says: “They want their sexism back!”
