A lot of people hate Alicia because "she's talentless" and "makes horrible music" but it's really because of her aesthetic and the type of "boring, dikey" artist she is.
Like no matter how much Beyonce fans say they love Bey because of her talent and music, she would lose a good 80% of her fanbase if she didn't strut onstage in a sexy outfit, flip her long luxurious hair, place both hands on her hips and give a fierce over the shoulder look.
Yeah Nicole is right, Alicia never had that fierce, feminine aesthetic that attracts all the gays. She's not a dancer or performer. She was always about music, not about glam or her personal life. But she has sold more albums than Pepcé and she has had more hits, so even though she is irrelevant now, she still won.
