When you think about it, the world is full of unexplained phenomena. Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near? Why do I continue to eat ice-cream when I have a lactose intolerance? We may never know. Heres another mystery Ive been grappling with for a few years: what did we, the human race, do to deserve the excellence of Beyoncé?
..Heres why: raw talent and an unstinting work ethic. Its that simple. Nobody works harder than Bey. The muscular voice, the obvious care when it comes to choosing her collaborators, the fashion and the thighs: theyre all just frosting. The cake is a ton of sheer hard work, which I was lucky enough to witness when I (finally) saw her in concert earlier this month. When you add in the maturation of her politics (feminism! police brutality! girls education!) and her style, Beyoncé is in a league beyond any other popular musician. Empower is one of those words much bandied about by marketers eager for womens cash, but its truly how Beyoncé makes me feel. When I watch and listen to her, I feel a number of things: a surge of self-love, wonder, strength and a bubbling, excited joy at being a woman a black woman, at that. Thats magic.
She may not be the pop star we deserve, but shes the one we need.

She’s no Tina Turner, not even close.
if you just consider only black female singers, then Beyonce still isn’t in the top 5 — Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and the great Tina Turner have ranges and ability far, far above B
This is a joke, right?
This isn’t satire?!
And this, I think, is the female that the Mooch called a good role model for her daughters.
To all the haters out there. In about year 2000, I was enchanted by a beautiful young performer from Houston who had an incredible voice. Today, Not much.
Sodom and Gomorrah come to mind......
Nothing new - media fawns over one of their very own.
Beyonce is a Satanist, and is quite public about it.
It shows, in her shows...

My thoughts exactly.... barf alert needed.
We sinned terribly... [duck’n & runn’n!]
We sinned. That’s how we deserved Beyonce!
Beeyotché
Talent? 1000s of voices are better. And I’ve seen squirrels outside go through mating. Simulating mating in public is something the lowest of animals can do. She is pretty. But so dirty and dumb that it kind of erases her beauty. I am not impressed by her at all.
Good point.
Let this be a call to repentance.
Bim?
Okay, now I understand.

The comments about the article at The Guardian drip sarcasm too (and are funny).
Destiny’s child was ok. The voice while good, is not Turner or Whitney comparable
LOL, but what did poor old Harambe ever do to you? That's animal cruelty, right there.
