Aibu - Beyonce- does anyone else not get her?

[17Degrees]

I feel like she collaborates with people who are "in vouge" and I don't get her music.

BEYONCE IS LIFE

YANBU.

I enjoy Crazy in Love but that’s it.

Went to her concert with a friend, it was painfully mediocre

@WelshNerd thank you for that video! So so funny 😂 Beyoncé super fans are weirdos, I see they’re demanding an apology from Harry Styles for his best album Grammy win. I HAVE heard Harry’s album (via DD) that is a well deserved award it is sublime from beginning to end

well said 👏🏼

Can’t see what the fuss is about, either. Many better singers/songwriters available.

What’s to get? She’s creates music and performances, is there some hidden message in there or are you making something of nothing!

I doubt she cares about what some grouchy old middle class middle age women think while she’s losing track of her millions

Are middle aged women opinion’s of less worth then?

Exactly!
Edgy teen girl escaped from the high school thespian club. 😂

I don't get the Beatles, John Lennon or any of those old, ancient Men the media keeps putting infront of cameras as "Rockstars", Paul McCartney or them likes.

Everyone has a different taste

To Beyonce/Her team, surely. They aren't her clientele so they can cutely keep it moving.

Did I say that? Ermmm nope

“To Beyonce/Her team, surely. They aren't her clientele so they can cutely keep it moving.”

Big assumption there. Beyoncé isn’t a spring chicken herself.

I saw Beyoncé in concert 10 years ago and she was outstanding. One of the best gigs I've been to. I'm sure she gives exactly zero fucks if the white women of Mumsnet don't "get" her and is crying (with laughter) all the way to the bank.

Her voice is strangely powerful yet at the same time often quite monotonous. Except on If I were a Boy and She Can't love You (loved Destiny's Child )

Also find her overrated. Lauren Hills voice however ❤️

Why are you bringing race into it? And why do you think MN doesn’t have WOC?

I don’t think anyone expects Beyoncé to give a fuck that they didn’t enjoy her concert (maybe she should) but opinions have been sought for and this unnecessary rage over her criticism is hilarious

Then why use descriptors such as “old” and “middle aged” then? To emphasise why “B” wouldn’t care about their opinions.

I’d say 30-45 yr old women are probably her demographic. I have teens and they couldn’t name a Bey song.

I used that because that’s who posts on mumsnet. I’m one of them 😂😂 stop making something of nothing

Age, Race, what do these have to do with someone not really rating a singer. Why is the identity of those holding them being used to minimise the worth of specific opinions?

They absolutely meant older women’s opinions don’t count.

We only count when we’re young, spiritedly and buxom (aka useful to men)

Indeed!

I don’t think I am actually. I think it is something. You’d never belittle opinions based on other identity characteristics would you? For example colour or sexuality. As a middle aged woman yourself why do you think it’s ok to do it based on age? Sneerily dismiss an opinion because it’s an “old” “middle aged” woman holding it.

Exactly the point I am clumsily trying to make but you did it much better than me 😊

She is beautiful and I quite like her current single. Dont understand her relationship with her husband though, all seems a bit odd.

OK, well you’ve got something in your head there. Enjoy your Saturday. If you can
