I've always totally respected her (and DC, so many classic songs

) and thought she was very talented, and recently I realized I like a lot of the songs on 4. I'd say I'm at least a fan of Bey as a person (classy, inspiring, etc.) and I think she makes quality music
(Though the Hive can occasionally be ridiculously messy and obnoxious, which is kind of a turn off but I can't really blame Bey for that any more than Gaga should be blamed for murderous Twitter monsters)
