Beyonce's lyrics are disgusting

But singing about her body in a disrespectful way "If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it" (sorry, that is just objectifying yourself) or some of the more recent outlandish lyrics she's been coming out with...nah.

You can be sexy and still have some self respect. Shania Twain's Feel Like a Woman is sexy w/o being vulgar. Beyonce's Love on Top is sexy w/o being vulgar.

Certainly youth does not = vulgar. I think she's missing the mark and hopefully she'll switch gears soon.

she was not saying if you liked her body put a ring on it, way to mis-represent it.
And I am not in the Beyhive - but get a grip.

Watch her video and listen to her words.

profound lyrics that could be used as part of a lesson in a HS English class

Hey-ay-ay (hey-ay-ay)

Now wait

Shania Twain wore a white collared men’s shirt and heels. No pants. And stripped down to that in the video.

You’re missing the mark, Beyoncé is wildly successful even if you don’t like her.

Most of us recognize that. And she's not my style, nor do my kids listen to her music. But that doesn't mean I can't use as an example of how not to act/whom not to worship.

Sex sells. And as far as intelligence goes, most people aren't picking apart song lyrics or seeking out songs written by artists who read and who can think.

But listen to Shania's song. Her words are not disrespectful to herself. She is talking about getting dressed up, going out with the girls and having some fun.

I see PPs point about her sexually explicit lyrics being not a great symbol of black academic excellence and culture in light of the HBCU theme, but I also see PPs point about her success and luminosity being one (of many) part of black artistic and cultural importance and success. Sadly, her husband is fugly, but they seem to have a great and collaborative career rapport. I hate Taylor Swift, fwiw.

And no, “Satisfaction” isn’t saying “pregnant” after “make some girl”! The lyric is about being on the make ie looking for action.

She doesn't know anything about that. She didn't even graduate high school.

1. And yet she owns the rights to all her songs and has built a brand that is all hers. What do you own that you created by yourself?

2. How embarrassing for you that you think a high school diploma is the only way to achieve academic excellence.

You're funny.

+1 a high school diploma is not "academic excellence" - that she has never bothered to obtain a GED is pathetic.

Why? Bc you graduated from high school so everyone should? Plenty of successful ppl didn’t graduate from high school or college. I did but I won’t sit on some high horse and judge them like it makes you better.

+1

Many of us graduated high school, college, and I'm sure have a number of masters' and professional degrees. Not one of us have had the success Beyonce has had (and all without even a GED). How exactly would having a GED help Beyonce in any way?

Show me a Beyoncé song that’s half as brilliant as anything by Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Eliot Smith. They were all great talents, songwriters with deep or emotionally affecting lyrics that didn’t have a message but reflected their (pained) realities of addiction, love, beauty. And yes, I realize they all died tragic deaths due to their additions. That underscores my point that. Don’t think music has to have a positive message. Black groups and artists like NWA, Public Enemy, Prince, even Salt and Pepe come to mind. Yes, I listen to these oldies because I’m Gen X. Bye bye, Bey. You trashy, clean up yr mustachey, yo a ho and yo gettin ol.

In this fun dance tune, what does "You ain't stankin' enough for me" mean?

Well, if I could choose to be a millionaire, then yes, that would be my first choice.

You, perhaps, being the person you are, might thumb your nose at the idea of listening to her or being in the same venue in which she happens to be performing (or just in). But just know that whichever artist you consider your fave would scream if Beyoncé asked to take a selfie with them.

Doubtful.
