We already knew this but now a published scientific study has confirmed it: Beyonce’s fans rank among the dumbest on earth, second only to Lil Wayne’s fans. No surprise there either.
The sad part is the study showed that fans of Hip Hop and pop music were among the least intelligent of those tested.
Read it and weep! From The SUN:
-
YOUR taste in music reflects your intelligence – and Beyonce fans are among the most stupid, it was claimed today.
Devotees of the Destiny’s Child star came close to the bottom of the pile in a student’s comparison between exam results and musical tastes.
But they are not the worst of the worst – unless they are also fans of rapper Lil’ Wayne – because his followers are deemed the least intelligent.
Devotees of Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z also ranked low in the scale, it was claimed.
They are among the findings of the probe by Virgil Griffiths, a PhD student in America, who puts Beethoven listeners as far and away the smartest.
Griffith compared students’ scores in SAT exams with their favorite music acts and genres by analyzing data on social networking sites.
Those who prefer Indie music are most intelligent, while gospel, pop and rock fans were all ranked at the lower end of the scale.
Those who are mad about pop music did not fare well in the analysis.
As well as Beyonce, fans of Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z both ranked at the bottom of the scale.
Their supporters all got below 1,000 in SAT scores, with the average being a mark of 1071 out of 1600. Fans of composer Beethoven were way ahead of the rest with a score of more than 1300.
Props to loyal reader Christine for the link!
Whoever did this survey needs to STFU and STFD
Could there be a more biased “study”??? BTW, I thought white kids made up the largest consumer group when it comes to rap. Plus, 99.6% (IMO) of Beyonce’s fans are probably GAY MEN anyway, so I don’t fall into that category. LOL!!
I thought the comments would be turned off.. This is funny info. No offense to anyone but I thought Britney had the dumbest fans.

*shooting a bird at Virgil Griffiths*
fukk yo test niCca! LOL!
This is more culturally biased than the SAT. Sandra, please don’t post stupid shyt like this anymore!!!
gigglin … I scored 1250 on SAT and i don’t like BeYawnce or Lil wayne .. OR bethoven … so .. kick ROCKS son !!
heyyyy LovelyLady !!
I’ve never seen a stupider report that seems ridiculously made up. Say what you want, but Jay Z is the furthest from dumb or from catering his music to dumb ppl. He’s actually one of the few rappers who always has something to say rather than talk about their jewellery, cars, money etc.
Krysi … here’s the middle fanga
..!..
to the test SON !
Wait a minute, does that say the source is from the Sun? Is that the tabloid The Sun or another rag?
I’m not even going to comment on this mess but I know at least 2 peeps that will in all caps…lol
I would have to agree on this one… She sung the word–conversate–on get me bodied!! There is NO such word!! It is converse…
COUGH “BULL-SHYT” COUGH!!!
Speaking da truth…sure conversate isn’t a word but tell that to the millions of people who think it is. It doesn’t make them stupid. Are people who spell A LOT as one word, even though it’s 2 different words. stupid? No. So you can’t use that to justify that Beyonce or her fans are stupid.
Ohhh but the PICTURE did get a chuckle out of me LMAO!…cute Sandra!
Thanks Kym! You know i was trying to remember how you did it that one time before…shyt I just put anything!! LOL
I dont think nobody is dumber then Beyawnce oh ish wait Bush is… nevermind bac to work for me
Hello All. I finally figured this one out. Sandra must be madly, madly, head over heels in love with Beyonce. If not, why the obsession? I’ll put some money on it that she can’t go a week without posting some crap about her. Beyonce is a pretty girl with some talent. She may not be the best singer in the world but she’s damn sure better than Jennifer Lopez or Britney, both getting just as much or more of the media’s attention. I love our black women being in the limelight, doing their thang, making money, except for the likes of entertainers like Lil Kim. Now shes a no talent skank. That’s my opinion, for what it’s worth. I’m outta here. God bless.
@ Mspeng Says
I really don’t care…Just wanted to write something. She sells records and makes her money, who can’t respect that… but in the end– stupid is as stupid does!! Take it how literally you’d like:-)
Hey Lovely and I agree with you!!!!!!!
I feel away about standardized testing overall, people who do not receive the same education, should not be tested the same way BOTTOM line. Curriculums are not UNIFOIRM and the test are biased IMO.
Oh & I received a 1440 on my SAT’s (yes queen of the typos is book smart)
Yeah get back to work mizzdallas – you know I come out swingin on the Bey post — j/k …
A person’s level of intellect and their ability to score well on standardized testing are two very different things.

With all do respect, Some of us have been there, bought a t-shirt and have dayum near written verbaitim the above sentiment,asked the same questions….There are no answers here. Go on, take my word, the source of Ms. Sandra Rose’s contempt, like Tommy on Martin’s Job, will forever remain a mystery.

UGGGH MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE STUDYING. LAWD. (CALLING BEYONCE CAUSE I NEED SOME MORE HATERS ON MY LIST AS WELL)
I AM A HUGE BEYONCE FAN AND I AM FAR FROM DUMB. STANARDIZED TESTS IN SCHOOL, PASSED THEM ALL. WAS IN HONORS AND AP CLASSES IN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. ASVAB, ACED IT. SO AN ARTICLE FROM A DUMBAZZ BRISTISH TABLOID DOES NOTHING FOR ME. OH, BUT WAIT, MAYBE IT WAS JUST THE ENGLISH THAT THEY PERFORMED THEIR LIL EXPERIMENT ON. PEOPLE CAN LEARN QUITE A BIT FROM MR. SHAWN “JAY-Z” CARTER.
WORDS YOU CAN LIVE BY.
“I’m hungry for knowledge,” says Jay-Z. “The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
“That’s what you should be doing your whole time on the planet,” he concludes. “Then you feel like, ‘My life is worth everything. And yours is too.’ ”

Where was the study done? Oh London? Nuff Said! LOL
Hey Kym
I just want to know where the TI, Tiny & Monica fans came in on this list. Or was it soooo low it fell off the page.
DEAD DEAD DEAD @ “I just want to know where the TI, Tiny & Monica fans came in on this list. Or was it soooo low it fell off the page.”
I heart Mo though —-
when i read your page and get offended im taking things way too far, way too personal. . kudos for that dude getting his name in the news before now i never heard of him and probably will never hear or recognize his name again
and plus 53% of all statistics are wrong, buy they do provoke thought
LOL!!! I’ve been saying this for a long time! It does seem like the people who really like beyonce’s music aren’t very intelligent. And they also tend to be over weight and read romance novels! Beyonce’s music is mindless music with a good beat, and it seems to have been written for kids. I mean really, most of it is ghetto trash and crap…I can see the appeal for kids, but what’s grown azz women excuse?
I’m a little surprised by JayZ and JTimberlake…….lyrically, I think those two do very, VERY well. Especially JayZ… Hmmm…
I’m not surprised at the overall generalization…that popular music is loved by the masses. And the masses’ intelligence level? Average, I’d say. This makes sense, this survey, but it’s pretty pointless to umm ‘point out’ ha ha ha
most of atl music is mindless . . .whats the IQ of the lisnters. . .south runnin sh_t too
the study is wrong..funny as hell but so wrong LoL!
Beyonce’s fans rank among the dumbest on earth,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sandra, you are so silly…………lmao
lmao @ the “study”…..lawd….
@PAHairston

Thats the dumbest thing I have ever HEARD. BEYONCE IS LIL KIM you dumb stan. QUESTION have you ever see LIL KIM dancing with her legs wide open at a show. HELL NO! KIM DONT DANCE. Her lyric are another thing. BEYONCE got the lyrics and the dance. NEXT!
*********
ni@@as kill me trying to diss one HO for another!
GIVE ME A FU&^ING BREAK….dont tell me your intelligent and then go on and same some stupid SH$# like JAYZ and BEYONCE are smart. This is the same man that has sold drugs and glorifies it in his music (might I add to this day even though he anit in the streets) along with calling woman whores, b@%^$s among other things. His wife never finished school and you can tell when she speaks.
My point being having money doesnt make you smart. DID any of you see the STATE OF THE BLACK UNION? This lady broke down hip hop and how it is destroying us. CONSUMERS look it up and see what JAYZ and B really think of you CONSUMERS. That’s the new word for niggas CONSUMERS lol. So as far as I’m concered JAYZ wannabe GOD and his ghetto WIFE are THE WEAKEST LINK. GOODBYE
MAN!!! I’M STUPID!

ALL FROM THE SAME MAN WHO SAID:
“When I’m gone the meek shall inherit the earth..until that time it’s on and poppin church”….
“I’m from the murder capital where we MURDER for capital”
“Can I get a F&^% YOU
to these bitches from all of my niggaz
who don’t love hoes, they get no dough”
I can go on and on but I think I proved the point. Just because you say Martin glowed doesnt make you smart. The BAD out weighs the GOOD.
@ Flygtnva you made some good points.
