No it wasn't. The biggest thing has and will always be how much it empowered black women. Only people who focused on Becky were the typical, clueless non-black people.

"Tropical dance" is dance hall. Not y'all creating a new name for a genre that existed years before I...

Beyoncé is powerful, popular and everything else but doesn't have any impact or any musical influence

The examples in the OP.
A quick Google search would show she's musically influenced by of artists from different genres of music.
Quote:
For their third album, Brooklyn indie rockers took their inspiration from an unlikely source — Beyoncé. "I love how she takes on different attitudes in her vocals," Patterson says, pointing to the singer's shifts from party-ready to dark and contemplative on her latest disc, 4. "Plus, her production is wild."
For the Rabbits as-yet-untitled LP, due in early 2012, Patterson didn't conjure up an alter ego, à la Sasha Fierce (but if he did, it'd be Stee Stee, his bandmates' nickname for him). He did, however, exercise some Beyoncé-style groove. "Our last record had a lot of raw energy and spontaneity and heavy tom-tom beats, but our new tracks have more of an R&B feel, rhythmically and vocally," he says. "It gets boring always trying to take from rock'n'roll bands."

He's done neither. For the first, he is referring to the mixing of dance, pop, and carribean influences. He isn't saying Justin invented it. For the second, the person literally said "pop/soul mix." Although honestly, I don't think Amy has too much of a signature sound.

Does she have a signature sound that is being copied? Some examples:
Jason Derulo: the "talk dirty" sound
Amy Winehouse: the pop/soul mix
Justin Bieber: this new tropical dance thingy

She does have a signature sound tho, that R&B/pop mix which has been present her entire career, and you can hear that style in a lot of today's music, such as Fifth Harmony, Tinashe per example.
She just evolved past that with her last two albums. While there are trances of it on ST, Lemonade is very different from what she usually did.

She's one of the biggest trend-hoppers I can think of, so no.

Not you naming Jason Derulo & Justin Bieber as examples
Anyway, Crazy in Love set the trends for horn-lines at that time. That's why JLo and Amerie asked Rich Harrison to produce Get Right & 1 Thing.
And look how Irreplaceable set the trends in 2006/2007, you can hear its influence in Take a Bow, With You, Battlefield.

That "Talk Dirty" sound is Deja Vu/Work It Out, live instruments was extremely rare at the time Legend was doing

She is too the steady growing artists that cite her as an influence.
Only main artist to get sooooo much love from the indie world.

Don't forget Crazy In Love, which also has Live horns just like Talk Dirty.

Her performance style has definitely influenced a lot of R&B girls. I don't see how she's musically influential. ST is probably the most influential body of work she has done -- it influenced a lot of pop stars to go more urban IMO.

POP MUSIC IS EMBRACING DANCEHALL, NOW WHAT?
Quote:
In the last year or so, we’ve heard it become one of the most dominant factors in top hits. Last October pop audiences were fed a soca/dancehall fusion layered under Justin Bieber’s vocals when “Sorry” topped the Billboard charts. Though it was passed off on several occasions as “tropical house,” it feels criminal to not call the music what it really is.
This rhythmic trend carried into the new year when Rihanna and Drake released their chart-topping single “Work” in January

this is a really nice read
Quote:
This is also Bieber’s second straight single, after “What Do You Mean?”, to be on-trend with the sound of “tropical house.” That’s the ambiguously Latin-flavored, reduced-beats-per-minute chillout club sound that, according to premier dance music critic Michaelangelo Matos, only began to take the EDM-festival world by storm in late 2014. Bieber’s two No. 1 hits, coming directly on the heels of 2015 Song of Summer “Cheerleader” by OMI, have decoded tropical house for the radio-consuming masses.

im not a fan of justin by any means, but to deny his influence within the pop radio/music landscape nowadays is absurd.

MTE!!
And they act new when we bring their faves in the conversation.
If you make a flamebait thread about someone else's fave, you should be ready for people to bring your fave in the mix

Jason Derulo didn't popularize brass instruments no one had used them in a while and they made a resurgance
almost like when Beyoncé did so in 2003 , except her effort actually made it to #1 ... because, u know, the song is iconic and heavily influential
ultraviolento sis we get it ur a Certified Beyonce Hater™ , but let it go sis...... a wise woman once said 'the reality is, sometimes you lose'
