She really is doing the most. She clearly desperate. We can see it from here. Another alter ego? Yonce? No woman. Just no. The only people I see going for this is the ratchets and the queens.
I also see her spin doctors are working overtime. She did do this the traditional way, it just failed, She did release buzz tracks and they failed. She did do promotion, and it failed she did everything everyone else does and it failed. This was probably a last ditch effort. And of course not giving critics a chance to review the album because she knows it is crap. please. I hope people don't buy into the boldfaced lie.

Exactly! She promoted ALL YEAR..that dumb "world tour" was to cover up the payback from the predicted album flop. She really is doing the most. She clearly desperate. We can see it from here. Another alter ego? Yonce? No woman. Just no. The only people I see going for this is the ratchets and the queens. I also see her spin doctors are working overtime. She did do this the traditional way, it just failed, She did release buzz tracks and they failed. She did do promotion, and it failed she did everything everyone else does and it failed.

Not forgetting she gives the video treatment to all her albums anyway. And critics hate that! I predict they'll be real honest when they get the chance. But for me, I think the biggest loosers are the fans. They have to buy the album blindly to get past the 30 second previews, when in all likelihood it will be FREE on the internet by next week. |

Most poeple on the Dm are still ripping her. I will be interested to see what the 2nd week sales are like. The question is will this hype last? What is the lead single if they all have videos and all. She's using the "saturate and drown the market" technique. "If it's everywhere, it must be good right?!"

Two things I can't get my head around about this album. Not that itunes "allegedly" crashed because of it but...
1. It is being speculated that it could be one of the most expensive albums ever produced. But from what people are saying, I can't see how. Unless those 30 second previews are hiding some of the greatest works this decade has seen.
2. That fans cannot download single songs but have to foot the $15.99 (£9.80) for the entire album. But the clincher is that the physical version is due out on the 21st.

"I see music. It's more than just what I hear".
OF COURSE. If her shit was good she wouldn't have to work so hard and shoot 17 music videos for ONE AND ONLY ALBUM. She has to use her image cause her music stinks. Indeed, she is a visual artist... With little to no substance. I've seen some reviews on the net, some are good, but the reception is lukewarm overall. Nothing groundbreaking. However many noted, fans included, the album is much more explicit than her previous material.

I see people losing it and I'm laughing because she's just doing what she always does. And the same people are "getting life" from it. She's trying to get Christmas sales, she probably spent 3,000 bucks on each video and she's apparently got every celeb in her circle guesting on the album (features are supposed to be garnish, not the equivalent of an entrée). All for what? So she can put out an album full of boasting, ho-shit antics and "ratchet" material. The things I'm seeing people rave about are reflective of rumors we've all read through the year. She's doing nothing new, nothing groundbreaking, and, as we all know, nothing original/unique. Hype. Hype. Tripe. And more hype. It's crazy when people say she's been "away" and just "slaying" with this dusty tour, keeping a low profile, when it's not true. Everything she does is promotion - so then people will crow about her dropping an album with "no promo". They hype never sleeps.

i read that one of her fans only liked 3 songs on the album, but had to by the entire thing. haha, sucks to be you! that's crazy! Not surprised! I admit there were three songs I wanted to listen to in full, one of them being Blue, thinking it was gonna be epic. Not so sure now after looking at the lyrics. It's sweet but just not enough substance. Beyonce - Blue [Verse 1] Sometimes these walls seem to cave in on me When I look in your eyes, I feel alive Some days we say words that don't mean a thing But when you holding me tight, I feel alive
[Hook]
It can last forever Come one baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me You and I together Come one baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me [Verse 2]Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you Cause when you open your eyes, I feel alive My heart beats so damn quick when you say my name When I'm holding you tight, I'm so alive Now let's live it up
[Hook x2]
[Bridge x2]
We gotta hold on, I gotta hold on You've got to hold on, you've got to hold on to me [Hook][Outro: Blue Ivy]Hold on to me |

Today, I did Google Beyonce a couple of times. But as I'm about to go to my bed, the truth is I've listened to three snippets of her songs, read some articles, and looked at some lyrics. Fair enough, that is more than I would do, but if indicative of what she was trying to achieve, then goal reached. She got our attention! Only, I kind of feel angry that this woman comes along and plays these games, and I don't think I'm the only one feeling this way. And while I may have clicked away at the internet because of her, trust me, this has put me off from ever buying anything Beyonce related. It would also not surprise me if this had been the plan all along....and quite frankly, the Beyhive can keep their calculating wannabe diva. |

I'm tired of this damn hype. Yeah, when artist release their albums it's hype, but with this woman it's everywhere. Im glad no one outside of internet world, or should I say where I live pays this chick no attention. "Beyonce dropped an album with no promotion!" Nah, fuck that. This woman has been promoting all damn year. There hasnt been a week where Beyonce hasnt been on the blogs. Ugh, as much as her antics irritate me, im gonna need Rihanna to snatch this womans wig off. Pleaaaaase Rih Rih.

I tell you her and jay stay making all sorts of ridiculous gimmicks to make their music sell. Only Gaga is doing this too and she was all hype too. And Beyonce claims there's too much between the artist and the fans? At this point in her career there has never been more BS between her and the fans. This whole marketing strategy screws the stans, They are too dim to see it. They don't even get to decid whether they like they songs or not, they gotta buy them all. Have you ever heard of anything so dirty? MJ would never. Prince would never. Mariah would never. Whitney would never. But this Greedy Grimey trick... |
