With respect: Anyone who says Beyonce is overrated is not a serious person. Vocal mastery, performance level, & showmanship are measurable. If you don't acknowledge her skill, you are either not a musician or you have ulterior motives for tearing her down. You don't have to be a fan to recognize.

Switched to the jazz station, where he couldn't invade my sleep.
Hitler loved the guy's anti-Semitic nationalism, too.
Both you and the author of this post are using exaggeration. She meant to say, "I really like Beyonce; she has very much talent makes me joy joy."
You meant to say, "10/10 talent doesn't equal her market share."
What would be another good diva for people to also research. (It's ok to love more than one thing!)
How about Ella Fitzgerald? She's a great starting place, and Beyonce herself loves her!
Queen. Period.
Blocking people who disagrees with you makes you an idiot.
If you're trying to avoid negative influences throughout your day, blocking someone who calls you an idiot is a legitimate way of doing it
She is the puppet at the end of a lot of long strings. Zero authenticity, only product.
Overrated in the sense being pushed by the biggest labels and advertisers isn't hard.
My own personal preference are musicians that are much more low key, I just don’t care about the lights, razzmatazz & 50 outfit changes!
Talent lives in every genre of music; the music that resonates with you is the style you can appreciate the most.
I was floored.
Also would love to know everyone’s take on Jack Harlows halftime “show” on Thanksgiving in 2023? It was legit the saddest thing I’ve ever seen but Beyonce needs to do better. Got it. Loud and clear.
Her reference was to "ulterior motives" which could include but isn't necessarily racism.
You're probably the only reader of this post who took what she said as an indictment against them
I don’t like her and I don’t even know why, other than her trying to upstage Prince when she still had the humility to use her full name.
I’m not saying she’s not talented but I don’t like her.
I’ll take Solange every day though, she’s amazing
The world is literally on fire.
I don't fathom the desire to knock it.
This shouldn’t warrant any disgust but just a difference of opinion.
Cheers
Overrated & under dressed..
Bad Role Model
Horrible husband
Just a POS
Is she incredibly wicked talented, yes.
Some people just don’t like acknowledging greatness.
Especially her take on country music
But I will admit that she’s very talented and deserves to be adored by people who like her music
The same goes for Taylor Swift
All the other new era artists are pure garbage
Imho
Example: I don't begrudge Beyonce her success, but I really just don't get it. While she is definitely a natural performer, her music is just okay.
She's not TALENTED. She is FAMOUS. Big difference. And really energetic at waggling her butt.
Assuming that anyone who disagrees with you is a moron, is not the slam-dunk strategy you think it is.

The level of difficulty & skill in the creation is not actually why we like to listen to something, though it may be part of it.
Beyonce, Swift, Gaga, Aguilera go genre breadth rather than depth. Gaga/Aguilera chose 'novelty' styles.
Rianna, Sza, Lipa, Eilish, Mars, Emjnem.. go for depth rather than crossing more genres. valid.
I wonder about the agenda of anyone who insists otherwise.
I can't move
Freedom, cut me loose
Singin', freedom
Freedom
Where are you?
'Cause I need freedom, too
I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey! I'ma keep running
'Cause a winner don't quit on themselves
That Lady puts on a show! You definitely get your money's worth. Unlike some of who just walk back and forth across the stage.
Maybe her message is just not for you, and that's okay too.

Point proven.
These are all highly commercialized artists. No different.

So no, she’s an underrated performer but overrated musician.
