Beyonce is Mariah Carey without the great hook songs.


I've been watching the best Grammy performance, and I just don't get Beyonce. She's a great singer without great songs.

I only know her from Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) and I liked her performance. Not familiar with her music, I just now skimmed a few YouTube videos and nothing rings a bell, despite the fact that some were monster hits.

Agree.Beyonce also lacks Mariah's vocal chops

reply

Beyonce is a farce, screaming bitch, bleached blonde negro. Not a fan.

If you like that kinda music, Rihanna is far superior.

reply

I’m not a fan of either. Nothing against them, they’re both fine vocalists but outside a few tracks I find their music bland.

reply

I don’t mind either of them, however, I feel that Beyoncé has had a few hits with great hooks: -
Crazy In Love
If I Were A Boy
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)
Run The World (Girls)
Texas Hold Em

To name but a few.

Sweet Dreams is pretty good too, an earworm for sure.

But what about the, ‘Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, banana!’

LOL

I took my wife to see Rick Astley for the first time a few years ago & he did this as a cover. He asked the audience to sing exactly what I typed above and that’s how I will forever hear the song in my head.

Sounds like fun

I don't know if I entirely agree, but you have a solid point there. :-)

reply

I don't get the devotion that Beyonce or Swift inspire. None of their songs seem memorable or remarkable to me. It's possible that I'm just too old and male to get it. I'm fine with that.

reply

Shouldn't make this kind of comparison. Mariah is a much more talented performer.

reply

I really don't like Beyonce, but she is so popular, sometimes I feel like I'm missing something.
