The year she released 4, in 2011 - I'd been a fan since 1998. I didn't like Run The World, or her topless album photos. I heard 4 and it sucked. When the baby bump photos came out, I was surprised because she'd been so private until that point. The bump collapse was the moment my inner Beyonce "hater" took over. The fan side faded over time as her "perfect" life turned out to be a lie. Finally, I stopped overlooking her bad side.

All the lies her and her family tell. The fact that her whole career is build on a lie, and trying to be Perfect.

Then I read the stories on how they group broke up and how beyonce takes songwriting. I found out all these things around the same time and I was just done. |

I couldnt expound on my thought earlier because I was mobile, but again...I'm kind of building off of a comment I made on the DR blog page.....what made me turn was realizing the liars and elitists they are, and the way they try to make others feel inferior.
Believe it or not, another factor for me was tina Knowles. She seemed like that kind of mother that would try to make all the other girls feel so inferior to her "golden child" and the way I felt about her transferred over to Bey because I realized there's no way she could have a mother like that, and not be nasty and narcisstic in her own right. Girls like that ALWAYS are, unless they come to a point of true self introspection, and work on changing that..
Then, there is just something that made me not like them, on a very visceral and spiritual level that I just cannot state in words for some reason. They make me feel some type of way that I cant articulate, that made me dislike them. Back in the DIL era, I really liked her classy and posh image, but yet at the same time it made me NOT like her. That has never happened to me with any other celebrity, anything good about them, has only made me root for them further, and it never made me question my self worth (this was back in my early 20's, I'm 30 now so I'm so far past that)...but what I'm saying is, WHY DO people either abhore or worship her? I wouldnt even question it so much if she had real talent..
Hey, maybe thats it....its like, all this hoopla and hype over someone who is just......a one trick pony.

I always thought she was okay, she wasn't someone I would gawk over and say "Oh my gosh I love her." I like/liked some of her songs, her early work basically.
A few years back, I use to always come on the internet or whatever and then I stopped for about a year in a half. Then I came on during the end of last year and like everyone just LOVES her and is just worshipping the hell out of this chick. I honestly didn't think she was THAT "big", because where I'm from there are no Beyonce stans. I only know One Beyonce stan and makes her son call Beyonce his God Mother. She was playing the 4lop album ALL damn DAY, that yodeling and screaming was turning me off. That's when I think it really triggered. I thought she was still little ole Beyonce from DIL and DC. But anyways, when I seen all these people worshipping her and calling her Queen/King and she's a legend, I had to back track....like did I miss something? I was trying to figure out...Queen of what? Legend how? She doesn't have ONE song on her roster that's a classic. I seen how her stans were and it turned me off INSTANTLY. I remember saying something on Twitter about her (at the time I didn't know her stans were delusional) and they came for my ass, like c a m e for me. I was confused as to what they were so damn mad about just because I said "She's an untalented, unoriginal B*****" I learned you can say anything bad about "Beysus Christ, the prophet, the messiah, the only thing closest to God" They were in my twitter mention for hours. I was getting about 20 per twitter mentions per minutes. That's when I started doing my research and just found out basically EVERYTHING. Ugh, It was so bad that I would get frustrated hearing her on the radio. Sorry for ranting but thats my story lol.

I'm not turned against her. I did come to realize that she is a star just like the rest of Hollywood. Take that positively or negatively.

I was a fan in my teens. It started changing in the bday era. I think it was J-humpvah the camel-god mc who turned me off her. when he started getting more influencial with her musical direction, and when her shady dealings started coming to light.

When she starting popping up everywhere nd on everything I started to not care for her. The over exposure made me wish she would just stfd somewhere. So I guess it was when she went solo.

For whatever reason....my ears would pain me when I would hear her sing/music. Crazy, right? So I always turned the station off. I didn't dislike her, didn't actually think about her at all. Then came a meeting with one of her INSANE stans, which peeked my interest about this Beebuzzard. Found out all about her copyright infringements, dirty dealings etc., etc..... I stayed for the stans....I was totally amazed that humans can idolize another human!?! I stayed for the comic-relief of her delusional, yet, very sad stans. Now I don't watch any of her videos....refusing to give any hits. I just read blogs (occasional) and get my morning cup of laughter; similar to a morning cup-of-Joe and then I'm off to work.

It's funny because I wasn't really a beyonce fan at first. I LOVED Destiny's child, and I thought it was typical daughter of the manager style for her to go solo. Ashanti was coming out at the time as well and I always thought she would outshine beyonce. I heard crazy in love and wasn't blown away or anything, until I saw her perform it. She brought that song to life and I lived! I stanned hard from that point until about the time I am came out. I found the while sash a fierce thing to be weird and dark. I didn't like it one bbit.i wasn't crazy about 4 either. But the real turning point happened when I saw her stomach fold in on itself on tv and she tried to brush it off as fabric folding! What? She must think people are idiots. And then I became privy to song writing credits and a slew of other lawsuits and I was just totally done with her.

It started with Irreplaceable. I HATED that song and I doubly hated how popular it got. It would come on and I couldn't turn from it fast enough. I didn't like her being paired with Jay Z. I thought he was too old to be in a relationship with her. Fast-forward to Single Ladies. The first time I heard that song, I was scrunching my face and then came the lyrics and the theme and I was instantly over it. I was really mad that my best friend liked it, too. I hated that song for months and then I started to get into it in January '09. Michael Jackson died and in the months and years following his death I bristled hard at comparisons between him and any of the "artists" in the current scene. It took a while, but I began to really sour on her from every angle. It didn't get any better when I found out about the asshole business practices and strongarming people engaged in on her behalf. The greatness campaign and "King B" bullshit with her playing into the whole "I'm the Greatest" thing finished me off. I was never in love with her, but I was unbiased/open to her when she came out solo. Irreplaceable started it, though.

i was indifferent to beyonce. she was a cute girl with average talent. remember when she came out with DC other girl groups were till hot then (702, Blaque, 3lW, TLC) as well single women artists of the same age (aaliyah, brandy, mya, ashanti, etc) so DC really didn't stand that much. matter of fact i think their first single flopped right, until wyclef remixed it? like most folks i started really paying attention when letoya and latavia were kicked out. i believed them when they said they were treated wrong. by that point the matty wasn't even trying to hide who he wanted to stand out in the group. that turned me off. and then when it came out they had folks tanning i was like these greedy colorstruck blanks! and then as beyonce got blonder lighter music become more frivolous/materlistic i was like whatever. it was easy to let her go because i wasn't a deep fan anyway. i just find it sick she's been pushing this white woman's image onto black girls.

Well first of all I wasn't a full fledged fan/stan to suddenly turn against beyonce. however, she did make some good songs back in the D.C days. What turned me off about her is that she constantly tries to kick other females to the curb to stay on top of the game. I don't remember Chaka, Tina, or even Mariah ever doing this in their prime. She steal their sounds, dance moves, and constantly gets her self into lawsuits by stealing music. What shocked me even more is that kelly doesn't even get the same recognition bey gets when she stood the test of time with bey and her dad's shadiness to the other girls until the end of D.C. Now that bey went solo and "married" Jay she quickly picked up the shady strategies jay had when he became president of Def jam. JAY made B . Since he introduced her to the 'other realm' of the industry that aaliyah refused to be in. But anyhow she is a conniving, compulsive theif and a liar who easily gets threatened by other females and dusts them off any chance she can. And That's my view on 'Ol girl'
