This ain't gonna sell beyond the her core beyhive. If you are on twitter, all her stans are going crazy over it. Elsewhere, everyone's like "It's cool how she dropped it, but the music isn't great and i'll just listen to it bootleg, if at all".
She's gonna get a boost in sales because of Xmas. It's gonna be that second week that will be interesting. I predict she'll have a big drop in sales like Gaga the second week.

People think this is some kind of boss move. It's not. The album is a mess and she decided to put it out on her own. If you look at all the tweets, no one is saying the music is great. They're just hyped over how she dropped the album and getting their life over her being half naked in all the videos. And just wait until all those half naked videos start getting press. She's gonna face a real backlash from the soccer mom crew. Beyonce was supposed to be classy and acceptable. From what I'm reading on twitter, the lyrics are very sexually explicit and in most of the videos she's very scantily clad. Someone also said in one of the videos, there's some lesbianism going on. This just goes to show you how desperate she is. Lyrics to "Partition" Driver, roll up the partition please, I don't want you to see 'Yonce on her knees It took 45 minutes to get all dressed up We ain't even gonna make it to this club Mascara running, red lipstick smudged, Oh he's so horney yeah he wants to f*ck He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse and Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown |

So trust me I wasn't looking and to be honest I should have just not listened because her album is not all that but she works hard. i wasn't lookin' for it either. hell i went on my fave's site and there was a thread about the album. newsflash STANS, not everyone is checkin' for this heffa! |

Is anybody even going to remember she did something like this 50 years from now? I love how her fans and other people who worship the ground she walks on keep bringing up Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Rihanna are they threaten by them or something? Beyonce doing something like this is not going to make them want to retire? Their still going to do their thing!

Why does this woman get all these different types of praises from celebs???
I see the likes of Anita Baker talking about how "good" this album is.
Does her camp pay these people??
I really would like to know how this works....this chick is not on MJ status.

I'm so sick of bey and jay "going around" the fact that they r NOT hot anymore. Him and his samsung deal and her and her 17 vids. Just stop!!!!. Bey wanted to come with something groundbreaking so it would over shadow how awful her music is. I keep hearing "how is she doing a tour and work on album, and do 17 vids"...that's bc it's allllllll hype. Bey is actually VERY lazy when it comes to the music portion, so she comes out with all these vids, like jadakiss said "she just want to be seen" lol

My speakers have been acting up since I got some random update. I'm without sound and will not be checking out B videos in a hurry. But the stans are everywhere. OMG why can't they make a little froum like we did and say all their crazy things there, they are even tryin to bring Bryonce into places she has no business being in. Honestly. They need to calm down. I hope this album flops just so that the stans can be quiet.

Its funny because I'm not even in this industry and I can think of a lot of things another Artist can that would REALLY be memorable and ground breaking! All another Artist has to do to top this is drop an album in stores WITHOUT being seen at all! Meaning no tours, teasers, performing at a events nothing just plain silence! If I could think of something like this then what she did really isn't that spectacular!

Yo DR Family. Have been busy these past weeks and now I have some time off, here comes Beysnooze's new LP. Thanks to some of my friends who are hardcore Bey stans I learned she released some new shit.
The way she dropped her album is quite interesting. I know some of you all believe it is a desperate attempt, well yes it is, but for once I have to admit her strategy worked. Think about it: if she had gone on a regular, traditionnal album promotional campaign like she did for her previous releases, it would have been even more embarrassing for her. Cause the low sales would be even more visible. But by releasing it without notice on Itunes, without REAL promo like she would usually do for an album(TV shows, interviews, etc...), she created a huge buzz. These past months people would talk about her for everything BUT HER MUSIC.
However, I'm tired of stans saying she is the first to do something like this. NOPE. Prince did it many times during his career, the first time was in the mid 80s. He released the "Around the World a day" album after 1 WEEK notice only. And there was no Internet, no social media. On top of that, the album sold well.
Now let's talk about the music. Well... It's lame. The same dumb shit that all the hypersexualized and overrated chicks in the game put out every year (Rihanna, Nicole Scherzinger, Rita Ora, Nicki Minaj, etc...) Nothing fresh here. If anything these new songs just show how juvenile, immature she is. She hasn't grown musically or vocally, actually it's even worse. Now if Rihanna comes up with these kind of music I don't really have an issue with it because she is a gimmick anyway, and is a single artist. She never claimed to be a serious or creative singer.
However it is a problem when Beyonce does this type of shit cause... REMEMBER, she said herself she was an Icon, a Legend, and her husband Gay-Zoo had the nerve to call her the new MJ. Now explain me how you are legendary with pussy popping songs. You can't put yourself on the same level as MJ (whose entire career is classic) and drop stupid songs like Partition or Drunk on Love. I can't with this woman! And the songs' lyrics... Damn it, don't even get me started on that. They are stupid, awful, shallow, too explicit. Adult nature with no adult depth. It's like the female version of R Kelly's "Black Panties". Guessing Beysnooze and her team are going to call it "classic songwriting". Riiiiight.
The funniest thing are the videos though. They have the same rehashed ideas. Money doesn't buy creativity. She is a billionaire, right?! Got a $50 million deal with Pepsi, remember?! And is still signed to Columbia, connected to Sony, the biggest record label in the world. She is supposed to be worth billions. WHY HER VIDEOS LOOK SO CHEAP?! I've seen videos from indie artists (and I mean the real indies, not those connected to a major record label) which are more creative and beautiful to look at. Don't believe me? Check out Dawn Richard' (from Danity Kane) videos, or Azealia Banks earlier videos before she got signed to Interscope.
I don't see anyone outside the Behives buying this mess. She did not build a solid fanbase and is now trying to gain new, younger fans by playing the "super explicit porn-like sex sell" card.

Well, well, well. All aboard for the Beyhoence Express. Does she hate herself? Of course everyone knows that releasing at christmass is desperate. Hopig Christmas sales will bolster she numbers. Which will make it even worse when she flops. From what you guys are telling me, I'm not hopeful about any of this. I got a twinge of hope when someone said RnB but it died when I read about the extreme nudity. So Beyonce is selling sex again. Trying to be Rihanna again, copied other people's sound again? Oh well. We'll be here to read her her rights. oh she's borderline selling porn talking bout "I don't you seeing Yonce on her knees" "he monica Lewinsky'd on my gown" she's nasty as hell lol but I do like some songs but I'm not buying it idc what anyone says her vocals were not on point she sounds hoarse. |

Beyonce is probably lying about her age.
Beyonce-
"I feel like right now, people experience music differently. I remember watching Thriller on TV with my family, it was an event, we all sat around the TV and now looking back, I am so happy I was born around that time. I miss that immersive experience. Now, people only listen to a few seconds of a song on their IPODS, they don’t really invest in a whole album. It’s all about the single and the hype. There’s so much that gets between the music, and the artists and the fans. I felt like, I don’t want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it is ready, and from me to my fans.
I told my team, ‘I want to shoot a video for every song and put them all out at the same time!’ Everyone thought I was crazy, but we’re actually doing it, it’s happening!’
I wanted to make this body of work, and I feel like it’s something that’s lost in pop music. I wanted people to hear things differently and have a first impression. Not just listen to a 10 second clip, but actually be able to see a whole vision of the album. It was important that we made this a movie, we made this an experience.
I wanted everyone to see the whole picture, and to see how personal everything was to me. I will make my best art and just put it out. And that’s why it’s out today!"
Thriller video was released in late 1983. I know this, I was a huge Micheal fan then. It was an event. Beyonce was barely 2. Something is off.... I think she slipped up. Whew weee.

link Interesting. How could she remember what she felt when the Thriller music video dropped if she was two years old? Something is off indeed. I'm also tired of her comparing herself to Jackson. Shooting a video for every song is desperate, not groundbreaking. BTW her videos are just "recycle and repeat". |

Yeah, I'm gonna go there. The only people I see hyping this mess are black people. Beyonce used to have a more diverse fan base. Not Michael Jackson level diversity, but a decent cross section of races and backgrounds. But I'm looking at twitter and different message boards and honestly see only two groups going crazy over this: black women and gay black men. That's not enough to have major album sales. Take from that what you will, but I've said since 4 that not only is her beyhive shrinking, but it's getting less diverse.

She keeps doing the same thing. She isn't growing with her music. Many people who used to be huge fans as teenagers 10 years ago are quite lost with her. Also she jumps to every style of music possible to reach a larger audience but it doesn't work since she lacks real substance. Oh and white media is already bashing her. They say she copied her marketing strategy from David Bowie and indie rock musicians. |

They've moved on...and the younger kids are into Rihanna and Miley (sadly). The teens see Beyoncé as an old woman.
You also have to keep in mind Beyoncé's PR and street team is putting in hella work today. LSA is straight pathetic today.
