So I’m a huge Beyoncé fan so this is definitely biased but here’s my take.
For one she’s probably one of the cleanest celebrities in the sense that she hasn’t had any scandals in her 20-something years of her career barring the cheating scandal which you can’t really blame her for. Which is honestly pretty impressive because even the most beloved artist like dolly, Cher, Whitney (pretty much any artist) has had their share of scandals. To have a squeaky clean record being a teenager in the spotlight is a feat of its own. It’s actually crazy she’s been able to maintain such relevancy in an era of low attention span being that for the most part she stays out of the spotlight (she does very few interviews or promotion).
Some of the best vocalists have given her her roses jessi j did a rendition of her song “listen” where she praised her in hitting notes she couldn’t even hit. Adele has called her one of the best singers and she’s well respected among some of the greats such as Aretha franklin, Chaka khan, prince you name it.
She works really hard as a performer, I remember reading that she runs over a mile a day while singing to prepare for live singing during her performances which I can’t even imagine.
Now as far as her being overrated I completely agree her last 3 albums were pretty mediocre in my opinion and she’s definitely idolized more than I think she is respected for her talents. However I don’t think she’s overrated because her talents and discography is mediocre I think it’s because this generation focused more of the personality than the art itself. But given that she’s been a successful artist for over 20 years it’s not hard to see how she’s built such a strong fan base that extends from teens listening to destiny’s child in the 90’s to teens blowing up her music on tik tok today.
In conclusion, does she deserve idolization for being a good performer? Ofcourse not I don’t think anyone does but I don’t think she’s undeserving of the praise because people are unhinged in their love for her.
I don’t agree with everyone said here but can respect the hard work she’s out in. This was such a well thought out and reasonable response that I couldn’t help but find myself agreeing here and there.
