Not a Beyoncé fan but I love her because

Completely agree. She gives her family a lot of privacy. Even Blue Ivy, frankly. Yes she has participated in music but she doesn’t do press or invite the media to investigate her private life either.

She didn't get a chance to focus on education due to early fame and wasn't surrounded by intellectuals, its better to avoid interviews unless scripted and choreographed to make her look good.

Why?

Because she's been married for 15 years and has three kids.

Yes, and once you're a mother, you are supposed to get fat and stop having sex or fun.

She’s a pop star…the stuff she sings about doesn’t have to be autobiographical. You understand that, right?

They have a savvy PR team and image consultants. Blue Ivy needs to build her own brand and mom and dad's team are doing that for her as well.

What I don't get is why someone as wealthy as her shows up as personal entertainer for private events for megabillionaires of India, Dubai etc like a small time entertainer.

Because she doesn’t get paid like a small time entertainer.

Sexy and vulgar are very different for every individual but entertainers rarely care about society's morality at all.

Beyonce doesn't really "just sing" anymore. She often uses her body in very provocative ways that is odd when she talks so much about her religious views. I'm not a prude. I don't like logging in to Amazon, and then I'm forced to see Queen Bee on a horse, practically nude.

What's with all the hate on this one? She has mastered keeping her non-work-related opinions to herself, something most celebs will never figure out in their lifetimes.

+1. She used to do more but she came across as really dim, so I think her handlers thought it would be better to just avoid them, especially on camera.

I respect the obvious skills in voice and dance, but I avoid this artist and similar ones, because I loathe "female empowerment" that actually sells for the male gaze. She and many other female artists make money pretending to be feminists but actually selling a very patriarchy-friendly product.

So no, thank you.

+1 For some groups, being sexy and vulgar is pretty much the only way they know how to live and make money.

What "groups?" Don't hedge, say it with your chest.
