She became fake by not doing interviews ?
And since iamsf she done more spontaneous and fun things like 7/11,feeling myself and suprise releasing an album.

I guess all those complaining missed it when she said with her own words,
" People are brainwashed… When Nina Simone put out music, you loved her voice. That’s what she wanted you to love ... You didn’t get brainwashed by her day-to-day life. That’s not your business. It shouldn’t influence the way you listen to the voice and the art, but it does.”
Given that we know this, it makes perfect sense that Beyoncé doesn't want to go around talking about her personal life in interviews anymore. She has enough scrutiny without ever giving them things to talk about, why would she fill up an article full of quotes that other magazines are going to post about, overthink, and analyze.
Just let her slay. All your assumptions about her mean nothing.

Nina Simone had a very controversial personal life as did many great musicians. Beyonce on the other hand cannot afford that because people do not like her for her talent. Only after she got "pregnant" with Blow did she become relevant
She's a glorified Kim Kartrashian.

Beyoncé is rarely spotted out, rarely gives interviews and forgot the password to her twitter account but these people will tell you she's overexposed, overrated and should be more private about things.
Beyonce is one of the biggest stars on earth and has been for years, she's been in the industry since the late 90's and has faced more than her fair share of criticism and media exploitation. Excuse me if she doesn't want to give interviews or the like but who are you to tell her what to do?
She's a grown woman, a mother and a wife as well. She already has enough on her plate. She releases great music for her fans, goes on tour and her fan base gets all that we need. Shouldn't The people here complaining be more worried about what their favorite artist is doing?
Beyonce isn't your friend, she doesn't even know that we exist. Telling her how to live her life is stupid and pretentious of you. That's the T

But you weren't here for her as an artist then, you were here for her as a personality.
Yes, she was more open and fluid then, but now it's been nearly 20 years of her career. Can't she have some privacy, and focus on her family instead of trying to look personable to the general public?

That's the point, Kisuke-chan. 
It's just for show. Beyoncé/her team is "paying for the prestige." There's no real substance to it all, it's just to add reputation: "Beyoncé was on the September issue of Vogue." Then everybody can "Ooo" and "Aaa" at the reputation.
Pretty straightforward business practice.

Annnd there it is -- the race card, 57 posts in. Well, it's an improvement.
The race card usually is whipped out on the first two pages. Getting better.

Whenever I hear people say they don't like Beyoncé because they can't relate to her, or she doesn't seem "real" or whatever other poor excuse for liking an artist is, I can't help but laugh. Are you looking for a best friend or are you looking to be entertained?
I think for most Bey stans, identifying with her comes afterwards. First and foremost we are here for her sheer stage brilliance and ability to slay almost anything.

Everything except simple conversation via interviews, I guess.

Bey's haters really have the dumbest logic. They keep complaining about her being overexposed, call her overrated, scream that she's shoved down our throats, yet they cry because she doesn't do interviews. Yall need to shut the **** up I swear

Just like she barely did TV performances last era. She is in a different place in her career, she can pick and choose what she wants now.

Are you going to tell me you wouldn’t be amazed at what your life has become, how much power you actually have?
Come on.

When you said that she only become relevant after her pregnancy every ounce of credibility you or your posts have flew out the window.

I mean she is Beyonce its kinda hard for her to walk any street in a major city without Paparazzi ?
Cause if she had a problem with it she kinda would be able to go no where.

I wouldn't mind an interview or 2, but I understand her and support her. She's an icon, she can finally do whatever she wants. She's a private person. Bey and Jay are the biggest and most popular music couple yet they had a private wedding. They shared first pics of their daughter with the world for free. We are still getting amazing albums, videos, performances and tours, that's what we want and expect.
All that matters is - she's recording new music, yesterday she hit the recording studio
I don't need to hear "yeeees, I'm working on new music. It'll be different and you'll hear it soon" like WTF. She never hyped her ****, she lets the music speak for itself. When it's ready we'll hear it.

I feel like (ATRL will drag me for this) that she's almost too famous for interviews now. Watching her performances on late night shows and GMA type stuff feels weird now considering that she's almost above all of that stuff now.

Vin multi quoting and not saying anything 
What's your address and I'll gift you a copy of Vogue, so you can look at the pictures with her and Ricardo and yes Bey and Anna work together every year for the Met Gala.
If you have nothing to say, just exit the thread
