Fact: There is not a single Beck album on top 100 grossing outside of initial launch weekends. Fact: The three albums with ads on Superbowl paying millions of dollars were all Beyonce music albums. Fact: Sony BMG, Beyonce's #1 music album operator, has higher revenue from music than Capitol Records Fact: The top rated Rolling Stone albums generally have no chance on top grossing charts. Experimental folk rock albums and support them with endless tourings is a great way to win a Rolling Stone album of the week award! It is also a sure fire way to fail your recording career and find a real job. And it is not because people who vote with their wallets are all idiots. It is because Beyonce albums simply provide a much longer lasting, fulfilling, social experience. The emotional attachment a listener has to say, his favorite track on Dangerously in Love is far far greater than any Beck album they play for a week or two, and move on. The top Beyonce albums also have far bigger budgets and production values, because of the capital they have to introduce new beats and keep things fresh. QUEEN BEY FOREVER!!!
Omfg! I thought you were hitmantb. Beyoncé does not play any instruments nor does she make "beats". She has co written songs but so what? Beck plays 14 instruments plus he writes the songs. You tell me who is more talented. Like all pop stars, I'm sure Beyoncé would have been nothing without the help of thousands of people throughout her career. I am sure beck would have put out great albums without any or much help.
Also just because you throw money at something does not make it better. Just because it sells well does not make it better. McDonald's has sold over a billion burgers does that make it the best restaurant of all time?
I like Beyonce but I can't deny Beck is talented too and he deserves that award. I think Beyonce knows that too and she has no qualms about it.
