Music Thread #2 for 11/19/08- Did AllHipHop Keep It Real Or What Today ? ("I AM.....Sasha Fierce " Album Review)

The supposed "baddest chick in R&B" gets a 6.5 out of 10 from AHH. OOOOOOOOOOOO.

It’s hard to tell exactly what Beyoncé Knowles is trying to prove anymore. The hardest-working woman in music is in no danger of going anywhere, and there’s an aura of glamour surrounding her that can only be described as “star power.” Still, despite the series of hits she’s put on the charts, her full catalogue of music is the least appealing thing about her.

Just keep on reading if you want, but the highlighted quote says it all. The Singles are there, and after that, nothing else really. It shows a limited writer, or group of writers to be honest, to elevate her to the status of at least her performances, signing range, and overall diligence.

But diligence does not bring musical genius, and that is the one true Achilles heel with Beyonce'. Now, saying that she isn't a "genius" does not mean that this woman is smart and savvy. However, it doesn't take much to understand the difference between "smart and savvy" and "pure genius." Then again, she isn't the only boat in the mundane world of R&B (and Pop) nowadays (and to be very honest, the last 15 to 20 years).

I know some of my peoples will want to hurt me always having a negative slant on Ms.Knowles/Mrs.Carter. But I don't think Beyonce won't be losing sleep over what is said here at TWD, at AllHipHop, at VH1, at TMZ, or in general. And neither, hopefully, should you.

But the brutal harsh reality is what is delivered here at The Whole Delivery, as mentioned in today's other music thread with Cassie.

Anything else, wouldn't suffice. And neither would fake, capitulated praise be real for a world class performer still far away from truly being a world class artist.
