Why doing the same things she has been doing the past 17 years over and over again when she knows she's still the Queen at the end of the day? For a few records more, for a few awards more?? I believe someone with her success in the industry could really care less. Its obviously somehow frustrating as a fan since shes acting as if she was 50 years old and not 34, but if I put myself in her place, I get why shes behaving like this.

Exactly.
And I like that she's acting like she's 50 not 34 because she's obviously already learning how to evolve as an artist. I always criticize Madonna for seeming to follow whats hot when she should now have the confidence in her career to simply create music for the sake of it. Beyoncé is already doing that. And while ST isn't an experimental album, it's very digestible, she still tried a lot of new things and did it her way for her own sake and not to chase a trend or get a radio hit. And ultimately the result is better, more respected and more impactful.
At this point her name is synonymous with perfection and that is truly amazing.
