Literally every pop star does this.

Taylor didn't, she followed every rule set by the market.

Rihanna will follow suit, even if she pulls a surprise release, that won't be anything new.

And I'm not talking about reinventing oneself. Beyonce has her own genre, don't blame her for sticking to R&B when artists like Rihanna and Taylor jumped on the pop/eletronic music wagon. They have no identity.

I'm talking about stuff like the surprise release, the visual material, and now a homemade video.

The other girls are not bringing anything new to the table.

Christina Aguilera did it more times and much better.

[Nemo]

At the moment, yes, undeniably

[JustActinUP]

Yes of course. Only her naysayers will say otherwise. Fortunately the general public and critics are here for it.

No she didn't. She's the biggest trend follower. Unfortunately the general public wasn't here for any of them.

[M A R C]

Umm i wouldn't say that.
The only thing she reinvented this era was the releasing strategy for albums.

[Gavroche]

She isn't. I'd say she's in her own lane. She doesn't follow trends, but neither is making something completely new or creative.

She's exciting, the rest is not.

what a load of bullshít

No she's not, and I can't see how she's re-invented anything honestly, her music is as basic and average as whatever you hear on urban radios.

I think Rihanna is the leader in that department.

[Istan4R]

The exact opposite lol

[Jay Fenty]

She has shown a major re invention with herself and her music ever since 4. I think that Drunk In Love was genius and something completely new

[Baby Boy]

She follows trends, more than she actually sets them lbr here.

[Last Boy on Earth]

Gimmicks for her to revive her career isn't reinventing the music scene

It's a Major Lazer/Diplo sample, it is EDM no matter how you try to spin it.

"My hands up, my hands up
(Flexin')
Flexin' while my hands up
My hands up, my hands up
I stand up with my hands up
Then I put up, my hands up
I put up, my hands up
I put up, my hands up
Then I'm spinnin' all my hands up
(Spinnin')
Spinnin' while my hands up
(Spinnin')
Spinnin' while my hands up
(Spinnin')
Spinnin' while my hands up
Then I'm tippin' all my hands up
Spinnin', I'm spinnin', I'm spinnin' while my hands up
I'm Spinnin', I'm spinnin', I'm spinnin' while my hands up
(Drank)
Oh let go like alcohol, oh let go like alcohol
Oh let go like alcohol
Don't you drop that alcohol
Never drop that alcohol, never drop that alcohol
I know you thinkin' bout alcohol
I know I'm thinkin' bout that alcohol"

In that single fragment of Beyoncé´s song, the words "hands up" have been used 16 times, and the word "alcohol" has been used 8 times

That being said, just because she sings club lyrics over R&B beats, doesnt mean she has more identity. Same goes to her sexual lyrics over R&B beats

[manwhore]

I love Beyonce but em not.. Her music has never really pushed the scene.. More like made upcoming trends even more visible and mainstream. Marketing, yes but with her music I don't see it.

[BeyonceHatesMe]

Yes. She's in her own lane (no one can deny this) and is always trying something new, despite whether it changes something or not. She's always trying to do new things.

So isnt Beyonce.

Surprise release or visual album, thats a good marketing strategy. But her visuals and music is hardly innovative, its always the same old tired stuff. She is sticking to a proved recipe and there is nothing wrong with it, but she hasnt brought anything new or interesting to the table either. She is arguably the least interesting pop girl out there

LOL an album full of inspired beats and trend following isn't really fresh and/or new. The only new(ish) thing she kind of did was release her album without announcing it. Musically, she's as predictable as ever.
