Beyonce is holding onto her wig while trying desperately to stay ahead of the blazing hawt Rihanna and other more talented singers like Monica and Brandy who are set to drop new product in the coming months.
VIBE online reports that Beyonce is so desperate to return to the top of the charts that she is releasing two singles on the same day!
On October 7, Beyoncé is releasing two singles radio simultaneously. “If I Were A Boy” and the ironically titled, “Single Ladies”, both of which appear on her upcoming, still untitled, third full-length studio album. The album, featuring all new songs co-written and co-produced by Beyoncé, will be released on November 18. There is still no title for the album. (Source)
None of the ladies you mentioned are really competition for B and only Rihanna has the potential to dethrone B even though she hasn’t yet. Sure Rihanna is all over the place right now, but she doesn’t beat B in endorsements and she doesn’t beat her in sales and as soon as the new music is out she will probably knock Rihanna off the radar at least for a minute. Rihanna has the advantage of youth. B is approaching her thirties so she won’t be the “it” girl much longer.
@Bird – I don’t see Bey being dethroned, not with that work ethic.
I look forward to the new material. I wouldn’t even do a side-by-side comparison of Monica, Brandy and Bey … they are different artist. Bey is a for real deal entertainer, all around …
I prefer to hear Monica & Brandy sing, no dancing and all the extra stuff needed – the vocal performance is enough. If I go to see Bey … I want a show.
Rhi Rhis is cool .. but the fact that she isn’t original rubs me the wrong way @ times. She did well at the VMA’s YES – but it doesn’t change the fact that she doesn’t have raw talent like the ladies mentioned above .. She is manufactured. And this is not to say taht I wouldn’t choose to see her over Cassie, CiCi and others. Just don’t see her in the lane w/ Bey at all.
Bey is an ICON.
Didn’t she say she was done singing? I don’t think i can deal with another year of Bey all day every day..talent not withstanding
Well honestly how long did you think Beyonce was gonna stay quiet?? Not long, LOL. When she said she was gonna chill out, I thought to myself, yeah right. As soon as she see’s everybody else out she’s gonna wanna be back on the scene. She cant stay away for too long. But I must admit, I do look forward to seeing her live performances again because no one is really touching her on that level. She sounds good and she can dance at the same time without looking like a stiff alien robot. So I say welcome back Bey!! LOL
@ Iyonah I agree.
bey , Monica, Brandy and Rhi Rhi are in different catogories.
Brandy and Monica are REAL singers.
Rhi Rhi is all about swag and style which keeps her relavent
Beyonce is an ALL AROUND peformer. I will pay a good 100.00 to go see her perform because she is an entertainer and i know I wouldn’t be disappointed. And we must admit the girl is an empire by herself she knwos how to market, get endorsments, dats why Jay choose her she’s a hustler just like him…and I’m sure he taught her soem things.
TEAM BEYONCE!!!
2bme…I hear you girl…I don’t think she should push her music down our throat like the last 2 albums forcing us to listen to her songs throwing songs out every other weak…she became over rated. I was tired of Bey this and Bey that at one point I started not liking her
Or maybe that had something to with Sandra lol
^^^
Probably somethignt o do with Sandra.
I am TEAM BEY all day from the beginning. She is solid and delivers, and yes she does SATURATE the market … but isn’t that what happens when you are popular by nature anyway.
bey bey aint worried about these kids because she still commands the press and the advertisements. bey bey sales commands that her projects will get top funding in the 6- 1- million area. she doesnt have a project out and still gets press that lets you know she is still hot.
something to do***
10 million ^^^^
i need a 2-3 year break from beyaki. from the late 90’s until they broke up it was destiny’s child in its three different lineups. THEN it was the movie soundtracks. then it was her. then it was her some more. then it was more soundtracks.
i just need this child to take a break someplace. have a baby. help her sister sell some records. something.
i can’t wait! bey is a force to be reckoned with…her concerts, videos, performances are (what’s the word sandra uses) H A W T!
i wonder when she’s going to start having kids…she already knocked out the marriage part and sounded pretty adamant about having kids at some point…i just don’t see her waiting until she’s 40ish to start either…
I’m not a Bey hater she’s doing the damn thing more power to the sista..i just wish she’d allow us to MISS her..I mean hell she’s a newlywed take a year off..do nothing..then come back and shut it DOWN..it’s like she’s scared she won’t have the same effect if sits back which couldn’t be further from the truth..
Rihanna I can see, but not Brandy and not Monica. She doesnt have to worry about keeping up with those two.
I am excited for Beyonce. I love her and I think she’s a all-around artist. She’s been doing her thing and I think she’ll continue doing it for a while because she is so freaking talented. As far as in Rihanna, Brandy, and Monica, they are on a whole nutha stratosphere. They are talented singers and songwriters (sometimes) but Beyonce is a household name, like Kleenex. I always respected her as an artist but I respected her more that day she got punk’d. He held her cool. If you ever want to see what a person is really like, remember there punk’d episode. I like Rihanna but I can see her behaving like the diva she is.
Its Bey season all over again. And I wouldnt be surprised if she named her album “Bey Season”. Anyway Brandy & Monica are more established artist they music is timeless compared to Bey music, her music is like fast food *rushed and served in less then five minutes**. Someone said she is an ICON *Hmmm* the jury is still out on that.
Gosh I see some people are underestimating brandi and monica those are some pretty heavyweights and they have a very huge fan base, and also when beyonce was doing her thang a lot of those heavyweight singers were not doing anything not because of beyonce they were chilling, so I am interested in seeing how this will play out. cuz beyonce is cool, but brandi and monica and keyshia , and other stars are coming out the woodwork, brandi is huge!
LOL @ all the blogs saying get ready and giving us a warning like Bey some kinda hurricane or something. All you R&B singers get ready to take shelter cuz Hurricane Bey is bout to land. LMAOO
@ toosexy … i really love Monica … I just don’t compare her at all to Bey. They aren’t the same type of artist. And at the end of the day it is room for all in my opinion they don’t have the same audiences anyway.
I am also looking forward to Monica’s new release too.
lmao. its funny to watch these people love/hate b!
lol @ mizzdallas – “jury still out” .What defines an ICON to you?
@iyonah,
Yea, I feel on you on that, bee is more pop where as monica is more r&b, but I do think they will more than likely the same or at least close to the same audience. I like good music period. so I don’t care who the artist is if I like it then that’s all that matters.
@mimirenee.
That is so true, but also I’m getting a lot of her fans didn’t appreciate the jay z marriage thing and her not changing up her style coming back out. like a new hair cut, or new style , she’s not evolving.
@iyonah Says:
lol @ mizzdallas – “jury still out” .What defines an ICON to you?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My definition of ICON status is simple “jesus”. I dont consider people or artist as ICONS thats just me, I think we give these celebrities too much when they are human just like us.But however some people like to think there favorite artist or celebrity is considered an ICON, because there style and/or music.
Luv Luv Luv Beyonce! PERIOD!
When Rihanna stans mention Beyonce in the same breath as her, they are just wishing Rihanna had a fingertip of that talent. Rihanna has had songs that have a nice beat and nice lyrics but to carry it off on a stage is something only a true artist like Beyonce can do, she is one who gets my money, even when Rihanna lip syncs it’s a challenge. So competition for Beyonce, now that’s funny……
Monica and Brandy can sing, but the overall apperance is just not there for them even with the talent they have.
You know, putting Rihanna in the same breath with them two is still funny, did’nt the VMA and Fashion Rock teach any body anything!! Rihanna is a look and nothing else..
I’m tired of hearing and seeing Bey… I wish she’ll give us a break!
@ toosexy … I think you highlighted a major difference. The word POP sepeartes them.
I am like you I look good music and both can deliver. I just don’t see why people like to think they cna’t all co exist?
I actually love ME SOME Monica – I listen to getaway everyday at work.
None of the women you mention are more talented then Beyonce, she has nothing to worry about.
Im from the old school where the real singers come from beyonce is on top for a lot more reasons then her singer because I think ppl who thinks she is such a great singer just forgot to listen. I heard someone singing that sounded great and I looked up and it was not beyonce on my tv so I know ppl like Monica who to me sings alot better but because she dont have the long blond hair and big azz legs and a big wide flat azz bascially trying to look white is not going to get far
I think beyonce does need to worry simply because noone stays the girl forever and she knows this even though some of her hard core fans don’t she has already acknowledged the fact that she is not the it girl anymore and that she was basically singing bubblegum music her words not mine. but she knows that she has to stay revelant, that’s why she can’t stay gone. it’s harder to come back after being gone for too long. even risking oversaturation. and about the rhianna look thing, what do you think gave beyonce the rise to fame? Yes, she can sing, but great no, Yes she can move , but dance no. so looks plays an important role, but as for singers like brandi and monica really their voices speak for them especially monica, now I’m not an hardcore fans of either one of the girls but they have had great success also in their projects but neither were IT girls which gave beyonce a lot of her success.I am hardcore fans of mary j, jill scott, angie stone, keyshia cole, fantasia, and artists like that.
I’m a HUGE MJB fan but……
Bytches bow down to Queen Bey.
Its not her fault that when she takes a break the black media wants showcase her ever move, make up stories ect. Not to mention she is with a man who is in the public light and who has released music within the time she was chilling. I guess she shouldn’t be seen around town with him either. I wish somebody would tell me to take a break from work. I would look @ them with my hand out.
She can’t afford to be on long breaks in this business. And you’ll see why when Brandy and Monica (whom I love) drop their albums and they flop.
Rhianna is all image. She is boring to watch and her sales don’t equal to her image.
and as far a Rihanna goes she has a number one song and her album is still on the charts has been for 65 weeks but Im pretty sure when she gets 27(in wat 6 years) she will be as great as you think beyonce is
@JUSTICE
I do agree with you people forget that rhianna is only what 18 or 19 and she has done incredibly well, compared to beyonce who’s been in the game over 10. so to compare them in that light just is not fair. now maybe she can compare or not to mary j and mariah, and people have been in the game longer.
Sorry Rhi Rhi just doesn’t do it for me. I’m not saying she sucks. I just don’t see MYself buying her music and certainly not wanting to see her live (yawn).
Can’t support somebody whose forehead is bigger than their hands… j/k fans fall back.
Sandra’s always baiting ya’ll and ya’ll always falling for it.
Sandra, I’ma need for you to start typing “hawt” as “hot”…
I heard she was dropping them the same day that Michelle’s album comes out…any truth to that?
P.S. not feeling the Ciara jockin with “If I were a boy”…I know Ciara wasn’t the first with the concept but it’s too close to when “Like a boy” came out.
Rihanna’s MTV award performances were horrible. She is not a singer, just to be honest. She’s cute but she ain’t gon’ be no Beyonce or even MJB. Who would go to a Rihanna concert? Brandy and Monica are both the shit, but they got they place. And its not in Beyonce’s face…lol! I’m sure I will buy all of their albums though. No more Rihanna albums though. I could’ve had a V-8.
@ too sexy “no one stays the it girl forever” Two words Dianna Ross! Trust in 30yrs they will be giving Bey all types of lifetime acheivement awards.
@ those of you who mentioned Bey should take a break…. She did! Bday was released Sept 4 2006…its been 2 yrs
@ those who are comparing Bey with Brandy, Monica, and Rhianna…dont do it! Her record sales are going to run circles around theirs as a matter of fact you could probably add the 3 of them together and the numbers still wouldn’t touch hers.
I love Brandy, Monica, Rhianna, Keyshia Cole… I have all of their albulms but lets be real these ladies are dont compare when it comes to performing. Bey does it all! Brandy and Monica are good singers….thats it!
Keyshia Cole is a great song writer…thats it! As a matter I would prefer Keyshia write and let someone else sing.
Rhianna is cute! very cute!…thats it! She is really just an industry puppet with no real talent, just a marketable look! She is the black version of Madonna with out the record sales. Beyonce is a mighty force to be reckoned with and you better know it!
ALL HAIL HURRIACANE BEY! THATS QUEEN BEY TO THE HATERS!
@kay
I’m sorry diana is an icon, legend.
she’s not an it girl, that means for the moment like j-lo was and then beyonce, ashanti, rhianna is the one right now.
@kay
also beyonce has nothing on them either it you wanna get into it really but album sales and looks really,
keyshia is dynamic at writing and being her self and connecting with her fans, that means so much more than album sales.
monica can sing really, which means more to some people than album sales or looks,
brandi the same.
rhianna is the IT girl for the moment.
I mean yes beyonce has album sales, blah blah, but she will never have the important thing
REALNESS!
@KAY
I’m sorry if beyonce wasn’t a pretty girl and thick when she came out. believe me she would not be where she is now.
and that’s true. look at all the real talented singers who don’t have that simply because their not IT. beyonce knows this , I don’t dislike beyonce personally but i have never been able to connect with her and her songs really had no substance , fun yes, but meaning no. That is just my opinion
@ too sexy
Albulm sales is what they are in the business for! What would be the point in releasing an albulm if you weren’t expecting anyone to buy it! Apparently Bey does connect with her fans bc millions of people are buying her albulms so that means one of two things. 1)People really like her 0r 2) She is making some damn good music. Either way she wins!
hmmmmmm let me see.. Brandy and Monica.. I’m a huge Brandy fan. way bigger than a Beyonce fan, but keeping it real. Your girl Monica needs to release two singles to get back on top. oops.. was she ever on top?? and Ms. Brandy wine. hope she does well. I can already tell you Mrs.Carter is going to whop them tricks in record sales you better beleive that one.. She’s also a better entertainer of the two.
and after she released “b’day” the soundtrack of dreamgirls came out at the end of 2006 early 2007 so we had to endure “listen”. and then in 2007-2008 beyonce was on the radio in the form of remixes. justin timberlake and usher. throw in all of award shows she performed on and tv apperances she did and we have not had a break AT ALL.
i am not a bey hater. i like her music. her style. i just want to miss her a lil bit. that’s all. like mary. i miss her between albums. mariah. i miss her between albums. i just want to go one day, just one and not hear a beyonce song. or see her on tv.
bey has no spaces. no gaps. nothing. just an ever presence. like a helicopter hovering over the airwaves.
I do like Beyonce, she is a great performer, but to me she’s like the Dina character in Dreamgirls. She has a more commerical sound than Monica and Brandi who both have more soulful voices, well at least Monica does. And it’s easier for her to cross over. That’s not to put down her talent because ole girl is BAD!!!!!!!! (do I sound old saying bad?) She just doesnt have a strong soulful voice.
@kay yea they are the business for that, some, and some really enjoy music and would make it for free, also beyonce felt the need to let us know this album would be more personal and reflection of her self , like i said, she had better catch on,she knows what she was lacking and at least she does and not people who can’t accept things. I know beyonce has fans, no denying that. but like i said she has lost some a lot too,just check the blogs and you can see that too. but beyonce is ok with me, now that she seeing what’s it going to take to truly capture that mature audience and icon status that she wants and it ain’t here kitty.
@ kwallace577 I hear what you are saying and some of it does have some validity but your examples were not the best. I’m not sure if you are old enough to remember but Mariah was an “IT GIRL” After she released her first album in 1990 she released albulms almost every year for a decade 91,92,94,95,97,99,01,02…it was only after her break down (after Glitter flopped) that she took 3yr break. As for Mary J she isn’t much differet she releases albums every 2 to 3 yrs and since 05 she has dropped something every year as well as soundtracks and singing hooks for rappers. If you want to stay on top in the industry you have to stay doing what you do! And thats exactly what Bey is doing! She is working and I don’t see why so many people have a problem with this young woman doing what she loves to do!
@kay I don’t know bout mariah, but mary does not drop an album every year, she has the last two years but she takes breaks.
@ too sexy please stop coming for me boo this aint personal. Read what I wrote before you respond. I said Mary releases every 2 to 3 yrs and as of 05 every year. Her releases are as follows 92,94,97,98,99,01,02….05 The Breakthrough, 06 Reflections (wich included some throw back and a few new tracks) 07 Growing Pains and this year she has been on quite a few colaborations. PLEASE DO UR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU START CALLING ME OUT!
@kay i am a mimi fanatic. not only do i remember when they were released i own every. single. album. even her christmas album. even the #1’s. i played “daydream” so much (it was the last cassette i ever purchased) it had spots in it where it did not have music anymore–just dead air. i replaced it promptly with a a CD when i realized i had litteraly worn it out.
i never thought it was possible. i even surprised myself. but after the last album i fell out of love with mimi. everyone who knows me knows how big of a mariah fan i am and were shocked.
why did i fall out of love with mimi? b/c the stuff she was singing about in 1998 is the same shyt she singing about in 2008. i am gonna need for her too to sit down. have some kids. get her heart smashed up again so she will sing about something i want to hear.
another of my points is these artists have to go THRU some stuff to be relevant too. just being everywhere on every station every hour of the day is not gonna make you relevant. mariah came back after her breakdown and was the shizznit. mary got rid of k-ci and the drugs and was the shizznit. we are all sitting around waiting for whitney to come out with something b/c we just know that after bobby shabrown and the crack whatever she come with it is gonna be fire. monica and brandy have been through some stuff too so whatever they come with is gonna be certified.
what has beyonce been through? what has rhianna been through? what has ciara, ashanti, _____ (insert name here) been through?
LOL you are a mess@ kay. naw sweetie it ain’t personal. we are have a musical discussion. i loves music. bey too! SMILE.
If rihanna, brandy, and monica were so great they would have easily achieved what beyonce has and much more since people keep speculating that she’s not all that great anyhow
oh okay then…..let’s see you or your cohorts do better
I’m just saying…..
@@ too sexy & kwallace
I agree with the both of ya’ll.
*** How come someone has to be a HATER because they state there opionion, far as I checked this a blog where people come together to discuss social, entertainment & bullshit events ** We agree to disagree. I think the word HATER is soooooooo overrated. **** where is kymstery?
@kwallace577
Agreed I love me some Mariah Carey, “Butterfly” is one of my favorite records to date, I cry when I hear that song “Butterfly”, I love it..
@ntensemocha
Bey is a GREAT entertainer yes indeed is she a GOOD singer ,….NOT
and yes Brandy & Monica they have acheived success within they own, and they very much have a pretty good fan base that will support them.
**** See theres enough room for everybody!! LOL!
@intense mocha
not exactly, their are singers who are better than beyonce way better, but like I said beyonce was an IT GIRL, just like lil wayne he’s the HOTTEST rapper right now, but the greatest no. yes a milli in a weak but still doesn’t mean he is great and nobody is better. nobody is detesting the fact that beyonce has talent. BEYONCE ACHIEVED BEING THE IT GIRL THE HOTTEST, AND BECAUSE OF THAT SHE ALONE, SHE HAS DONE GREAT. BUT THAT DONT MAKE HER THE BEST JUST ON THE FACTS OF ALBUM SALES AND AWARDS NOT TO ME.
@KWALLACE
I agree with you , on that having to go thru some and that’s how you can tell what audience you have, people say beyonce this and that if you a real woman who have experienced life ups and downs then beyonce ain’t talking bout nothing, ok a few songs, I loved me myself and i, and cater 2 you,. also she is so scared of letting people know she been thru something , it’s ok girl that’s how we connect.
that’s why i love mary and keyshia they can take you thru whatever you going thru, loves jill scott. angie scott, sing abuout stuff you can feel in your gut not just singing along. like i been their too girl. why you think pac was great. he made people feel like he was right their in your living room going thru the same stuff , feeling the same way you feel.Even though i don’t feel the same way i usto when listening to pac but it always takes me back to those days.
@kwallace577 I totally feel you I used to love Mariah..mmmm now not so much the new albulm didn’t move me. I appreciate all types of music and cd collection proves it. It just bothers me when we BASH (not you but others) the same artist over and over again! All I’m saying is apparently this chic is doing something right when she is the topic of discussion every other day! SMILES
back at ya!
and i’m not beefing but everybody doesn’t have to be
“mary j” and experience everything they sing about to be a successful artist
hell -rap artist aint been through half of the sh#t they rap about, but that doesn’t stop them from being successful
I think people’s expectations of artist are far-fetched and I never thought I would say this but I agree with Solange when she say she is an ARTist meaning she creates her work and it shouldn’t be about if you like or dislike her personally- if you appreciate or like their work great and if you don’t that’s okay as well, it is your choice but there is some forms of art I just don’t dig as well, specifically rock music, it doesn’t mean that their work isn’t a form of art-that’s what makes it art if everyone expressed themselves in the same way or just like “mary” I’m certain people would get tired of that as well.
I’ve heard of people say they are tired of “mary j” crying-personally, I love most if not all of her work…..it’s about preference and to me to each their own and consumers should stop expecting artist to fall from the sky like the great messiah, or spin on their heads, and bend over backwards to entertain or to create the music “they” want
it’s the same argument recycled…..music aint the same anymore what was in the past was better and what’s out now is garbage-people right now believe lil wayne is the second coming if you ask me-he’s garbage it’s all about interpretation…………….
I don’t know what some of you have been listening to, but beyonce can’t sing or is not a great singer
that girls vocal are a killa-trust me her performances of the national anthem and the dangerously in love she performed proved that and if you notice when diddy did his show for making the band the girl group most of the women who audition sang beyonce dangerously in love or alicia keys fallin
and yeah there is a enough room for everyone and yes monica and brandy have their own fan base but neither of them can outsing beyonce-monica may give her some competition but actually win nawhhh-she don’t have the vocal range or power that beyonce has
now brandy I love her she’s my boo and a fellow aquarian, but ole girl voice is studio produce-her live voice is about as good as brittney spears
if you ask me rihanna is an it girl also, but I aint hatin she’s doing her thang too…..but we must remember the artist you mention have not nearly achieved as much as beyonce has professionally-did we forget that yes now she is a solo artist,but before she was in the group destiny’s child who also broke records as well?
I’m a let it rest, because I already know that alot of you don’t agree with anything I have to say and jump at an opportunity to spar with me but it’s not that serious beyonce doesn’t need me to defend her her work and success speaks for itself in comparison to the other lack luster stars mentioned…….
AND FOR THE RECORD NOT IN ONE POST HAVE I EVER STATED SHE’S THE BEST ARTIST ETC.
SHE IS SUCCESSFUL AT WHAT SHE DOES AND OBVIOUSLY DOES IT WELL BASED ON RECORD SALES AND PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS-WHAT OTHER CRITERIA WOULD WE BASE IT ON-AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE INDUSTRY IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE CRITERIA I MENTIONED ABOVE AND UNTIL A NEW SYSTEM COMES ALONG OR THE PROFESSIONALS START DEEMING OTHER FACTORS AS TO WHAT’S A GREAT ARTIST OTHER THAN RECORDS SALES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS I’LL CONTINUE TO JUDGE ARTISTS BY THOSE STANDARDS
AND A FOOL CAN HEAR THAT BEYONCE CAN REALLY SING=-SHE GIVES THE GOOSE BUMP AFFECT THAT YOU GET IN CHURCH ON SOME OF HER SONGZ SO FALL BACK WITH THE SHE CAN’T REALLY SING NONSENSE-IT JUST SOUNDS RIDICULOUS
@intense
rhianna is the it girl for the moment and you see that it don’t matter that she can’t sing or dance, that proves my point if you can get the it girl status you straight. that’s why she has accomplished so much beyonce was the it girl. now it’s rhianna opening shows and on magazines and stuff. oh, and this is just a time waster for me no hard feelings or sparing just bored. and mary j last album was no crying she is truly deserving or the queen of r&b.
WELL I WAS GETTING BORED ANYWAY..I’M GLAD SHE’S COMEING OUT.SHE WILL ALWAYS BE THE QUEEN..THIS GIRL WORKS SO HARD IT’S NOT FUNNY.SHE HAS AN ALBUM COMEING OUT AND I THINK TWO MOVIES THIS YEAR..THE HARDEST WORKING WOMAN IN THE GAME!! PERIOD! LET’S SEE RI RI DO THAT!! NOT!!SHE’S KINDA LAZY TO ME.SHE NEED TO QUITE FOLLOWERING CHRIS BROWN AROUND LIKE A PUPPY!
@toosexy
I can agree with that-you make a valid point concerning the “it” girl status
but I do however, disagree that beyonce, which is my personal opinion-was just an it girl. But you do pose a valid point though…..
and mary is the truth, her last album is the ONLY CD I am currently playing in my car and might I add all day no RADIO at all from beginning to end-I do skip one song on there the one that has that rick james funk to it, I like the beginning but I don’t really care for the rest….
and no pun intended we both know mary doesn’t have the best vocals either, but again she is the truth……it’s about interpretation and what the listener deems as great singing etc.
Oh, and I am LOVIN that pic of her.
@intense mocha
girl none taken, cuz mary doesn’t have the best vocals. but hey, nonetheless i am really looking forward to seeing what beyonce got left. well I’ll catch you in another thread.
