Inspired by Justin thread.... Is Beyonce really all that?

[Kim&Chris]

I think she's extremely beautiful, but her singing just leaves me

I just don't get it. This morning I was listening to the radio and that song "Irreplaceable" (or whatever it's called) came on, and I thought "this girl is not really a good singer".

Maybe it's just me, who knows, but I just think she's a pretty girl who is a POPULAR singer, but just not a GOOD singer.

I actually think Beyonce is a good singer. In fact, I think she is probably a "great" singer. However, besides some of her first songs with Destiny's Child, I do not like the material she has chosen to sing. It just does not showcase her vocal talents at all. Whatever her last album was before this latest one, most of the songs sounded like some sort of hip-hop chanting.

I have heard her sing "regular" songs and she has a good voice.

I actually like her newer stuff. I enjoy "Irreplaceable" and am really enjoying "Listen."

I think, though, she's going to have to stay away from the acting. Something about her just doesn't carry over to the big screen.

No I don't think she's "all that". She's pretty and has a nice voice, but I agree her songs are just eh. I do really like Naughty Girl though and some of the Destiny's Child songs are ok. But they're not great enough for me to buy an album.

 

[azgal81]

She's not even close to being all that. I have no idea why she seems to be so popular.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I can't really say since that isn't my type of music. I think she's beautiful though.

I tend to agree with this. I saw her in concert many moons ago when Destiny Child was trying to take off and she could sing the heck out of some songs. But, there is just something about her on the big screen that just doesn't do it for me. I'm not sure why because I geuniely like her but she doesn't come across on the screen for me.

She was in other movies besides Austin Powers?

Yes, I live under a rock.

 

[RadioNate]

this one I'll answer no. She's pretty and I think she can sing. Like Christine said I just really don't like what she's choosen to sing. I don't like her style at all. I also think she's quite the diva. We saw Destiny's Child live (it was free and my friends wanted to go) and it was one of the worst shows I've ever been too. While Kelly Roland left me impressed, I left really disliking Beyonce. It didn't help that she badly lipsynced nearly everything and couldnt' get the city she was in correct even through Kelly corrected her more than once.

She mostly now annoys me. I think she is attractive, but in a cute and "usual" sort of way if that makes sense. Her singing and dancing on stage/videos bug the heck out of me though. I am sure she can sing well, but she just doesn't use her talent in her music now.

I don't get why she is "all that", but at least she is better than Britney However, her taste in clothing has a lot left to be desired as well IMO... detracts from her nice figure.

Dreamgirls.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

Dreamgirls.

Oh, I didn't see that movie. Thanks.

 

[grinningghost]

She's stunningly beautiful, and has some good pipes, but no, I don't see her as the next legendary diva - although she has a fantastic publicist who is doing a pretty good job of "creating" her into one.

As for Dreamgirls, she was nothing special in that movie, Jennifer Hudson stole the show from her - sorry Beyonce.

 

[ButchJohnson]

She's awww-ite, average singer, she is pretty hot, but no hotter than tons of other hot chick singers out there. Again all the hype around her stems from just luck, as it does to a large percentage of other persons in the entertainment industry that are very successful. The best example of all, Tom Cruise. Average talent, decent looks, but yet he's huge? Go figure.

 

[declansdad]

I think she is attractive but not strikingly so. She is a good singer but I don't think she was the best singer in Destiny's Child.

I think she was also in Inspector Clouseau. I call it the pink panther movie with Steve Martin.

Oh, yeah, I remember now. Thanks! lol I really do live under a rock.

 

[JMD]

I change the station everytime I hear one of her songs. She is talented, no doubt about it, but her music is just annoying. I don't know how anyone can listen to it, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

I also think her looks are over-rated as well.

 

[Christine]

I doubt you live under rock. Her movies appearances are just not that memorable.

 

[mamaprincess]

Overexposed but extremely talented and yes beautiful. I'm just tired of her and wish she'd give us a moment to breathe.

Maybe that's it.
