Screaming at the hive members in here acting like Bey's music is more risky than Gagas
Mostly all of Beys albums are R&B//Pop while BTW incorporates Rock, Electronic, Metal, Pop and more. For people to think that Bey has risker sounding music than Heavy Metal Lover, Electric Chapel ect is just reaching.
Gaga and there's no contest. I mean, a Jazz album in 2014? The subjects written about on BTW are extremely risky as well. Beyoncé has had a safe, consistent pop-R&B sound since beginning her solo career.
Beyonce has been making the same R&B/pop on every album since Dangerously in Love... Maybe self-titled jumped on the more subdued, electronic R&B that is already spammed on radio, but it's not a big change in sound at all.
And all of Gaga's albums are Pop/EDM...your point?
