Anyone here who is feeling their puss or feeling some type of way because B finally spoke out after almost 12 years of bashing from everyone, their mother and irrelevant great aunt, please answer me this: 'Why are you upset about it? Is it because every word rang true? Or because you recognised your fave lacks the attributes B spoke of? Or is it simply because you can't stand the fact that not one media outlet has disagreed with what she said?'
'Or all of the above?'
B has been in the game over fourteen years. She has survived in a harsh industry where artist turnover is ridiculously high. She has been around since the likes of Brandy. Monica, Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter and so many others were smashing the charts. And where are they now?
(And when I discuss B, I also include Princess Brit in this, because she too is still at the top of the game after over a decade. And I don't see why my fellow Brit stans are so upset, because B clearly isn't talking about her. )
And it is true that, of the younger generation, only a select few are worth even the paper their contract is written on. Most of them can't sing, dance, perform, write or produce. And the fact remains that they will likely never see the longevity B (or Brit) has.
The fact remains that B is now being referred to (almost universally) by every media outlet/critic. When you have The Times, MTV, BBC etc all calling you 'Queen B', 'Queen Bey' or, even more cuttingly, 'The Queen' (period), it is clear that you are at the top of the game.
If B finally wants to throw some shade at those that have doubted her for all these years, those that have run to various blogs/social networking sites and spewed hatred for over a decade, she can and will do so. Because she is entitled to.
She did not lie. She did not exaggerate. And she did not mention any names, though even if she had, you would all simply have to deal with it because NO ONE would have tried to check her.
That's all.
