Unsurprisingly, it's Bey's own "serious" music that is her most hailed (Lemonade etc). 

Hmmm why do you care about RS when you write things like this? You're literary saying that Lemonade only got that acclaim because it's "serious". 

Lemonade is acclaimed because it's a masterpiece. Because she managed as a RnB singer to mix in the same album country, rock, pop, RnB and Hip Hop and made it extremely cohesive. Because those songs are exceptional. Not only that but the songs that represent the album were not serious at all : Sorry, Hold Up.

The way some of you shits on Lemonade here because of streams is just revolting. None of you had those opinions 7 years ago. 

 

And what is the "etc" for exactly? What is so serious about ST that it ended in YE lists although it debuted in December and ushered a new wave of popitism? 

What was so serious about 4 that although music critics were not favorably reviewing pop girls album bar Madonna and Janet, it ended up on YE lists and was lauded with praise?

How serious is B'Day when it's one of the first albums by pop female artists in the 00s to end in the 70's on Metacritic?

 

"Note how the likes of Taylor, Adele, Billie, Olivia and them all have **multiple** projects that are showered with all the love, critical acclaim etc no matter the surrounding circumstance. Multiple. While we largely have…Lemonade. " 

 

No, we don't. You're rewriting history. No girl from this generation has had three back to back albums as revered, as lauded and as praised by critics as Beyoncé did with ST-Lemonade-Renaissance.

She really stopped doing energy’s full choreography. She also had more energy in Europe during crazy in love’s choreography  but Americans have that cute mute challenge.

This random date in cologne proves my point 

 

 

 

why is it that every time someone points something out or makes a comment in here it’s "y’all are bothered" "y’all are obsessed"  

 

can’t we just discuss / make jokes about random stuff without 3 pages of meltdowns & dissertations following ? 

GUTS is a good album and an improvement over SOUR, so good for her. I don't really care what Rolling Stone rates things — they're just a bunch of stans that get paid to write. they also gave Mid nights a 100. who cares.

not to mention she is young enough to be Beyoncé's daughter. they are not in competition at all.

We can't even move on from the T*yl*r talk and now we got to combat *l*v** talk too?

 

Still haven't forgiven parkwood for this.

Like Beyoncé already had 4 #1 hits by the time she was born, she'd already gone solo and was ready to kick off DIL while this girl was still in the womb

You're mixing many things. Kanye said it about the VMAs, but she's actually won every category there. She's their most awarded artist, and they even nominated her 4 times this year WITHOUT releasing videos.

 

The Grammys have an issue with racism. That's where she is not winning outside of RnB categories. It's obvious, and it's been pointed out. Huge artists like Drake, The Weeknd and Frank don't even submit their work anymore, and I'm sure Bey thinks the same as them. But she can't do that because unlike them she actually wins awards and everyone would turn it into a "Beyoncé thinks she's a goddess"/she's a diva/she's ungrateful issue.

 

And the Grammy's never said anything about Beck being more acclaimed, they don't give reasons to their decisions and well, he WASN'T more acclaimed. Just google the facts. About Lemonade, I don't even know how I was listening back then. If she relesed exclusively on Tidal today I'd probably wouldn't listen half as much as I did Lemonade.

I understand where you are coming from. I still believe what kanye said applies to all award shows, especially ones voted by industry peers. 

 

I was Moreso referring to the discourse at the time surrounding the beck vs beyonce situation. And lemonade a voter mentioned not hearing the album.

this tweet makes me question the recent tea tbh

like were they always planning on it being this delayed?

they must’ve already known that it was in limbo here

Ol*via definitely seems to be mimicking a more Beyoncé-like career shift right now, transitioning from radio friendly pop girl into a more sophisticated, acclaimed respected artist and performer. Guts will probably be her 4, underperforming singles left and right but she will solidify a touring fanbase and won't really flop even if it seems like a career lull

All I said was the critics ain’t **** and y’all made it an Olivia thing. Like who cares about her?

 

There was a time no matter how good the music was, teen acts, young artists rarely received good reviews let alone major awards. Now you have Billie Eillish winning AOTY at 18 when someone like Beyoncé who has raised the bar with each album and shifted the industry has 0. 
 

Make with that what you will but it’s BS.

this was halloween 2022. if the recent news is correct, they didnt start shopping it to studios until december 2022. so it wasn't ready yet at this point.

Why am I seeing talks about Olive?

So does that mean that it wasn’t even finished yet?

cause she was still filming in late july for BMS 

 

which has me thinking…is that why some of  the teased looks and visuals weren’t included in the booklet and album shoot…cause they weren’t even filmed yet when they arranged it all…or was BMS the last mv to be filmed?

I think that's a fair criticism. it's not limited to Rolling Stone or OR though, so complaining about their review of her new album did not convey what you're explaining now.

It’s definitely not limited but it 100% sparked my frustration. I don’t see what that has to do with Olivia though, every ire was directed towards rolling stone/critics.
