Some of yall really need to ****ing quit it and I am DEAD serious. If the critics said no, the video wasn't viewed, the fans said no to buying it, and the lead single stopped being talked about as soon as the second single came out the song is not memorable now, let alone in 10 years.
4 could have been Beyonce's Control. It is in a way, if you consider that both Janet and Beyonce broke out of their dads' cells and created the music they "wanted to make." But 4 lacks the hits and impact.
Born This Way only really had the first week buzz and that died down after awhile. "Born This Way" is the only song that truly made a huge impact. "Judas" was a dud, "The Edge of Glory" was a hit but not a song that I think will be praised years down the line, and the verdict on "You & I" is still pending.
Femme Fatale will be forgotten. No questions. That's not a biased opinion. I sincerely think this album doesn't have any thing that stands out to make it be remembered years down the line.
