Why I hate Beyoncé
If there’s one artist who I cannot stand, it’s Beyoncé. And it deeply troubles me because I thoroughly enjoy Jay-Z and his work.
For me, Beyoncé reminds me of a certain female from high school (the annoying yearbook chic in Can’t Hardly Wait). You know the girl; she’s involved with everything from student council, track, cheerleading, oh and she’s also active in her church. She’s also dating the captain of one of the varsity teams and she’s driving a brand new BMW (given to her by her daddy). She gets good grades and other students and faculty flock to her.
But deep down, there’s something you don’t like about her. You (or me, at least) can sense a fakeness about her – as if she’s trying too hard to be someone she’s not. Then you begin noticing she changes her personality to fit whatever situation she’s in (more so than J-Lo). And then before you know it, you’re hating her every move.
Yeah, that’s me with Beyoncé.
She’s not perfect like the industry wants us to believe, not everything she touches turns to gold. She’s a marketing tool, excuse me, a marketing gimmick – that’s all. She’s cha-ching, cha-ching! She doesn’t do anything challenging nor out of her element. It’s tiring.
Besides that aspect, the hatred also stems from that god damn song that other females embrace as their own.
Ever notice when this song comes on, every female’s attention gets immediately drawn to the speakers (even faster than when I hear Justin’s Sexy Back, mind you) and they all start acting completely, for lack of better wording, stupid? You guys know what I’m talking about: they suddenly all put their hand up and start shaking it madly as if they’re having a stroke.
But it’s not even as simple as that. Once one shaking and twitching hand goes up, her friends follow; and then before you know it, you have a group of girls all with their hands twitching singing along together saying put a ring on it.
Ladies, it’s a stupid song that shouldn’t be your anthem. More than half of you aren’t even single, and if you were, you wouldn’t be demanding us to put a ring on it. Well, okay, maybe you would. Kanye did warn us that you’re all gold diggers anyways. I’m kidding, ladies…
Listen, Beyoncé is a very talented and hard-working woman. She deserves everything she has in life. I’m not knocking her accomplishments. She just annoys the living crap out of me.
I concur.
But then again, most women who would fall into the ‘diva’ category come off as somewhat fake to me. If I’m in the mood for vocal theatricality, give me Regina Spektor over Beyonce any day of the week.
I agree and am glad I’m not the only one to see her as fake.
Her dad pushed her to be who she is. It was all marketing and record execs. I do disagree that she hasn’t done something challenging. Her dancing can be amazing at times, but I think she completely has to feed off of other artist’s styles. Like her video with Lady Gaga. She completely was trying to feed into someone else’s career and hype to bring herself back into the picture. She didn’t even look good at all. Kind of pathetic, actually. And yeah, it was at that point I too decided I hated her every move. I think she should just kick back and be done now.
THANK YOU
Everyone’s like, Beyonce Beyonce, she’s doing so well, her solo project is gold, she’s so talented
But I get this feeling that she hasn’t done this on her own. She’s a pretty puppet but a puppet all the same. And yeah, she works hard. She works really hard. But isn’t the goal just to get more popular?
If so, it isn’t working on me. She’s irritating.
I’m pretty sure you’re referring to Shannon and I taking our rings off and belting out ALLLLL THE SINGLE LAAAAADIES, ALL THE SINGLE LAAADIES! The hand tremor is what she does in the video… and the video is hot… in fact, Kanye thinks it’s the best video of all time…..
I’m talking about every female when they hear this song.
I like her songs, she’s gorgeous, she can dance, she works hard
but I agree
SHE’S SOOOO OVERRATED.
for someone who doesn’t write their own songs, and most of her songs don’t even apply to her… (single ladies…she is married, you ALREADY have the ring on it) she has this following as if she was some kind of godess.
you can tell all her songs are specifically made for mtv
I like them, but I cannot bring myself to love her, never could.
hmm.. I never liked pop and she very well could be a reason me to hate it all the more..
And dude don generalize abt ladies.
Beyonce beyond her looks is highly overrated
out of all the nominees for album of the year she’s the only artist who doesn’t write her music….. Real talent right there!!
Totally agree Mikey…Her getting six Grammys is further proof of the Grammys being more a popularity contest than an award show based on merit and accomplishment…and talent…
And yet you bitches can’t keep her name out of your mouth…..
Keep doing your thing Beyonce. You don’t have to prove yourself to be “real” to anyone….Just keep doing you.
In response to “hmmm,” Beyonce ISN’T doing her own thing. She’s been married for years now, doesn’t write her own songs, and has had so many surgeries, it’s unbelievable how you can even say that. She is a complete fake.
Oh, and “bitches” doesn’t exactly help your argument. Do you have somewhere else to be a 12-year-old girl?
The thing that I dislike most about Beyonce is the fact that she isn’t overrated, I believe she has the talent to match her success, but we rarely ever get songs like Halo, all we get is the retarted sell out songs likesingle ladies and video phone and check up on it. Shes much better than that garbage imo.
lets not forget that she steals everything.
she stole credit for letoya lucketts writing in destinys child.
when she couldnt keep the lie alive, she stole cater 2 u from someone else.
then she ended destinys child.
she has since stolen several songs from other people…
“if i was a boy” was written by BC Jean. they were going to leave her completely out of credits until she sued.
shes not that cute either… people really need to look at beyonce BEFORE and AFTER her nose job. seriously.
and if you had a crazy psychotic daddy whos willing to shit on anyone as a manager, youd probably be successful too.
ive hated this tacky, thieving bitch for years. and now people are beginning to see what i saw all along.
SHES FAKE.
thanks for speaking your thoughts on this.
the underrachiever and the overachiever usually doesnt mix.
she’s garbage, she’s pop, she’s insignificant on the face of music. and tbh, she’s not even worth taking the time to fully criticize.
get over it.
@ ericka i totally agree with you
Could anyone say the lady is actually merely normal or the girl is certainly amazing. The actual volumes talk regarding themselves, the lady is the very skilled female artist. Identify any superior artist compared with her There’s absolutely no one. You don’t ought to like her, nonetheless supply respect in which regard is expected. Another thing is the girl wild hair its absolutely bright
Should one say the lady is definitely just average as well as the lady is actually awesome. The actual statistics speak for on their own, the girl will be the very skilled woman artist. Name any far better artist compared to her There’s simply no 1. Anyone don’t have to want her, nonetheless deliver value where regard is actually because of. A different factor is actually the girl wild hair it is so sparkly
awesome work thanks

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.
terrific! Jay Z is a an awesome dude.A real modern day role model. I took my family to see him last year in concert and had a incredible time.
Thank you for posting this! Beyonce is so lovely. I want to be like her!
I Hate Beyonce Knowles!!!! Not Because she has no talent, because she does, Not because she’s an Ugly woman, Because shes definitely gorgeous, I Hate Her for one reason and one reason only………….Jay Z………….. Her Marriage to Jay z has perplexed and confused me……………….Heres a woman who has millions of men around the world who desire her, a woman who can have almost any man she wants, but instead of going for the absolute best,the most handsome and richest man in the world, she chooses the most ugliest and richest man in the world………….Let me tell you something when your a diva who have large groups of men lusting after you ,you have an obligation to those men to set a standard to go as high as you can and find a man these other men cant possibly top,thereby forming a mental impression in these men to show that she is unattainable,instead she chooses Jay Z ,a man who looks like Joe Camel smoking a cigarette,thusly forming an impression in these men that even though he’s a rich man you still may have a chance, Im not so much into looks, Its like teasing all the men in the world,which makes me wonder whether her marraige to Jay Z was a well thought out Business Tactic,You see if she married someone who looked like taye diggs and also was incredibly rich then it would be easy to let go of your diva fantasy,Then she’d seem unattainable,But instead she chooses Joe Camel ,so youll think even though hes rich I may still have a chance,I look way better then Him,It makes me wonder about all these divas marrying these out of the ordinary men Like,Whitney and Bobby,or Britney and Kevin, as if they all wanna marry men Physically uglier then them so that they’re always the most beautifuliest in the relationship and thereby the one who would get the most attention,its like a subconcious tactic to tease all the men in the world. This is why I hate Beyonce Knowles. Love it or Hate It its my opinion!
You people are some sick folks. You are probably those same people we see in the news who the world laughs at and refer to as Ghetto Hood Rats! You folks are a joke!!! What kind of sickos would spend so much time blogging about hating a celebrity who doesn’t even know you are alive yet alone read these idiotic blogs. I myself just happened into this blog from looking at pictures on Beyonce. Do you idiotic people really think celebs have the time to read most of these ridiculous blogs. Even common sense should tell you that most all celebs have publicist, managers, promoters etc. who manage their careers, web and media news and all else you imbeciles!
My goodness folks, take your ridiculous hateful, demon seed selves to church. Good grief, what a bunch of losers. Get a life people, sheeeeeesh! What the heck is this world coming to when sick people have nothing better to do with their lives than spend their every waking moment hating on people who don’t even know you exist. Go get some help people before you meet your maker with all that hatred, envy and jealousy in your heart, there is a real sizzling hot spot more than likely waiting for you for eternity down below. Get all of that freakin hatred out of your heart people as its later than you think!
If you don’t like what you see in the mirror so much that your jealousy and hatred would drive you to such insane hateful barbaric ramblings about another human being, then for christmas sake, go get plastic surgery.
Beyonce is a beautiful girl with a beautiful personality, deal with it haters! Try to remember you sick people if you don’t want to be judged harshly when your judgement day comes, then don’t do it to others! and for goodness sake, Get a freakin life you Fags and Ghetto Hood Rats! Sheeeeeeesh! Its hard to really fathom that there are so many hateful people in this world.
I can’t stand any of her music. I guess this is just because I am a purist and don’t like listening to “ima singa lada” sung in repeat ad nausea… Then again all the music on my ipod is classed as “alternative” except Placebo’s Black Market Music that comes up as “Metal”…
