It started the "epic" music video, not the "modern" music video. Other than that, everything is spot on

3. except nobody cares for a few haters opinion. Beyoncé is on the most prestigious magazine covers all around the world and her music still sell compared to a lot of her peers from 90s/00s.
the proof that she's influential is that she doesn't need to jump on trend to sell as much as trendy singers. and don't act like beyonce didn't influence your own faves and the young girls around the globe. The new artists cite her. most girl groups you see today a DC copies.
the K Pop artists are the biggest proof of the I Am Sasha Fierce era impact. don't act like people didn't follow the trendsetter surprise release... and even ADELE is about to drop her album the same way  |
1. This point is the exact opposite of what you want to say. "Bad Romance" being compared to "Thriller" for its innovation is a sign that it's closer in stature than "Single Ladies," not a sign that it copied it.
2. The "Mexican Breakfast" performance went viral and that's how Beyonce found out about it. SHE SAYS IT IN THE INTERVIEW. Beyonce did not find some unknown performance and re-work it for a video. "Mexican Breakfast" went viral after "Walk It Out," a viral Internet dance sensation, was dubbed over it. Beyonce even commented on and said that's how she found the performance. How would "Single Ladies" have made this famous?
3. I stanned Beyonce for a decade. Being realistic is not the same thing as being a hater. Beyonce changed her role completely after my fave showed up, or do I need to remind you of her shift from "No, No, No" to "Survivor?" Beyonce has only really impacted HyoRin (lead singer of SISTAR), Lee HyoRi's "U Go Girl," Miss A's "Indepent Women Part III" and Ailee in South Korea. That's nothing compared to her peers from the early 2000s.

Only twinks online were up in arms over BR.
SL was (and currently is still being reference ALL THROUGHOUT pop culture)
I mean look at how many shows, movies, videos, songs, etc referenced Single Ladies vs the ones that reference BR.
Look at the duplicates of SL videos vs BR.
I mean its not even a competition.
And death at ppl clinging to Gagnam Style. Lmao. GS was popular for a year and DIED OFF. Psy is back to irrelevance whereas once again, SL 6 years later is STILL a force within Pop Culture.
Being a flash in the pan hit <<<<< staying culturally relevant half a decade later.
I wish i was still on The Beyhive.com there is a whole THREAD dedicated to the Pop Culture references Beyonce is in and a big majority of them are from Single Ladies.
The New Age Michael says Hi!

This is hysterical
"Bad Romance" was considerably bigger than "Single Ladies" WW. How many "online twinks" do you think there are that they could make a song a bigger hit than the GP that supposedly loves "Single Ladies?"
Also, wtf is with this self-hate for gay people and why would their sales count less just because of their sexuality?
"Gangnam Style" will end up getting similar views just this year to the entire VEVO count for "Single Ladies." How is that a flash-in-the-pan when it's still running circles around "Single Ladies?"
