Some hive don't realize she's almost at Prince level deleting her music and performances from the internet. I stan for her live cuts more than the studio edit, I get them from YouTube...you can't buy or stream them anywhere!

She's the only artist in the world who doesn't like their work seen or heard. Imagine a painter boycotting museums  |
It's interesting how you downplay someone's else opinion and call it "rubbish". Yet somehow we're supposed to take your misguided opinion as factual. Ch! The chart obsession is real. A music artist's legacy goes beyond just getting hits. Luckily, Bey has achieved that, and expanded her legacy beyond the pop realms. There are plenty of pop artists with more hits than James Brown, but have no legacy. Decades from now, James Brown's impact and legacy will still be resonating with newer generations. Meanwhile some of those artists with all the pop "hits" and no legacy, will fade into oblivion.

Beyoncé can have both so why is she limiting herself? She's wasting all her potential and we are supposed to be ok with that? I think not.
And every time we dont agree with Beyoncé's proven ****** decisions, we are called "fake fans" 
The reality is, we just want her to be greater. It sucks to see her waste all her potential and she doesn't seem to learn from her mistakes

Hmmmmmm...she's been there and done that, next. Not ya'll still running with that narrative, when it5 really about y'all having bragging rights about the charts. I was rendering to her 2013 self produced HBO documentary, where she speaks on the music industry (radio and charts)

 Its funny how musical integrity and artistic capability change with the sway of the general public.
Imagine an artist giving their best performance and then telling people they can't watch it because they don't want to lose their artistic credibility.
Imagine a chef cooking their best meal, only to snatch it off the menu from consumption, because said meal is too good for your taste buds.
Imagine a mechanic fixing your car, but then removing the engine because he did too good of a job and by driving the car you would ruin his work.
Imagine a world where an artist releases a single by actually, you know, releasing the single.

Not Prince, just James Brown. And that wasn't shade. James Brown is amazing but Beyoncé can be bigger and better and y'all aren't pushing her.

Right! They don't even listen to what their own fave has to say so of course they can't understand her decisions!  They are not on the same page as her, this is why I say they should stan someone else if they want someone who plays by the rules. They need to watch YOF, LIBAD, ST & Y&M documentaries again

We heard, we listened and concluded it was a terrible decision. Just because she's our fave doesn't mean we have to agree with everything she says
I know we are supposed to be a hive but can we not have the same mentality as actual bees and their microscopic brains

How is she limiting herself? When she's chosen to expand on other areas of her career. God forbides she decides to build her legacy. Wasting potentials? For your chart obsession, bragging rights?! Oh dear! She just got off a massively success stadium tour. An achievement some of the pop artists with all the endless hits can't even achieve. Despite all these "wasted potentials", she has the top selling 2016 release globally. Mistakes? More like she isn't thirst and desperate for quick hits.

Telling my child about the 2016 VMA performance is going to be like telling a fairy tale. "I mean, it really did happen, Sasha Fierce Kaepernick, it did! It was the most magical moment of any night! There was lights, and fire, and angels being shot down.  "
And then me retiring to my bed, wondering if it indeed actually happened. Maybe, it is make believe. Maybe it didn't really happen. But, I remember...or was a dream. Cause Lord knows once Bey started selling CDs out the back of Blue's stroller, I lost track of her music...but...it....happened...

The difference is you are happy with her grossing $250M, which is great, but some of us want her to tour Oceania, Asia and South America. Which proves our point of wanting her to become bigger and better. She can always improve.

But she'll perform this at the Grammys and it will properly smash in February just like Drunk

I don't know why bragging about her bank account is less obsessive than bragging about her slaying the charts, effortlessly. Y'all go in over her Forbes "earnings" yet none of that is in your wallet. You brag about the album sales. "Oh, highest selling this year!", but somehow think she's above hit singles. Oh you were delighted when her songs got their platinum certs, but gaffe at the idea of them being purposely sabotaged. If you're pissed that the tour is over because she could break immense records, sit down. If you were mad at the 1 day Lem. Tidal exclusive, sit down. If you cheered Formation slaying into the top 10, despite the odds, sit down.
The only way you can reserve the right to criticize others for criticizing her, is if at no point during the year did you see fit to tell these haters on ATRL about Bey's slayage. You brag and boast as much as the rest of us "charthive" do. Stop acting like you're above it. You're not.

Right! Still hoping and praying for a IASF kinda era. Bless their hearts. Meanwhile, Beyoncé has expressed on several occasions, where she's at, when it comes to music industry politics. Clearly, some folks have a hard time listening and paying attention to details. Like how many times is she going to tell them, she's not interested in playing the music industry games?!
