Simply because Bey has managed to maintain her relevancy despite not doing much musically [interviews, photoshoots and performances] this era. It's a stupid thing to say but hey! Whatever floats their boat

[Icarus]

Let the poor haters have this one thing to grab onto sis, they're clearly struggling

Bey doesn't have an impressive music career? Let me log off?

That train of thought is local to ATRL.

Its not her fault people remain interested despite her not doing anything besides touring and releasing music. It's not her fault that no one cares about enough to talk about your fave.

Also, it's not her fault that she receives critical acclaim, is able to go platinum with minimal promotion, and is well respected. If anything that just proves that most people have nothing to "drag" her with and should just stay repeating the same old stale ass pregnancy and bleaching jokes.

It's more that Beyoncé is better known for being Beyoncé than for her actual music. She's more known as a celebrity rather than as an artist. I love Beyoncé, and this is not intended as shade at all, but if you think about it, even though she's had some memorable hits, she's much better known just for being famous. Pretty much everyone in the entire world knows who Beyoncé is, but, believe or not, there's a lot of people who can't name a single song by her.

Is that why her tour is the 4th grossing female tour of all time. And she grossed over $300M in a year? Then why is Beyonce the most nominated female artist in grammy history? Why does Beyonce have 5 back to back #1 albums? Why is Beyonce the 2nd most awarded artist in VMA history? Why can Beyonce drop an album out of the blue with no single, no warning no nothing and it tops 111 countries on iTunes and went on to become the fastest selling album in itunes history? Is that why she sold over 100 million singles?

Some of you are just.....

She's a very successful musician and also a very known celebrity, can we just leave it at that?

I've never heard anyone shade her for "being too much of a celebrity".

It doesn't happen too often, but i've have a few Britney fans say it.

Her career is impressive for any artist obviously but the machine that is her PR would have everyone believe she has outsold and had more #1s than the Beatles. Most of the achievements that make her such a big celebrity are given to her by the industry. There's a reason why when Madonna and Mariah fans talk about their fave's success the main point is usually about how many records they've sold worldwide or their Billboard achievements, but with Beyonce fans it's about where she is on a Forbes/TIME list or how many Grammys she has.

This is true.

I love her but here she's just famous for being Beyoncé (which is a huge achievement already). She's (overall) really sucessful music-wise anyway so I wouldn't take it as shade.

[ROOOAAARRR]

Her brand name is bigger than most of the music artists right now but that doesn't take away the fact that she's still known for her music.

Her celebrity status and commercial success aren't proportionate. You would think someone who has built up such a larger-than-life celebrity persona over the past 15 years would have a bit more music success to her name. Beyonce SEEMS like one of the biggest artists of all time... but when you look at the stats..

I agree the last part is PR and Image.

We can talk about her record sales, her Billboard achievements (one being female ARTIST of the decade) and we can also talk about her movies, FORBES, Grammys, tours, fragrances, TIME, Her Universal Acclaim, her brand etc. It's not her fault she's successful in all fields.
