I think over all she's a pretty good vocalist. I mainly see her as a entertainer. I think I can agree that(what's next) she has basically revealed all of herself to world so much that I cant even imagine what else she could possibly do. I would not recommend this album to anyone under the age of 21, but I also admired how she is embracing her sexuality and her life. Some of the visuals, should've been eyes only for the hubbie, but hey she's a #GROWNWOMEN..LOL I am also glad that I had the chance to be introduced to Adichie, I have watched her on TED TALKs and love her. I am also looking forward to reading her book "Americanah" (my spelling might be off)SWEETGABROWNINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065102503418380249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112304266287099661.post-29941649923227929012013-12-31T10:20:25.214-05:002013-12-31T10:20:25.214-05:00Out of the 14 songs on the album I like half of th...Out of the 14 songs on the album I like half of them, no particular reason, I just took a listen and I only liked half. <br /><br />Artistically I don't know who Beyonce is. She was basically shaped by her father who was her manager at a young age when she was in Destiny's child. I think she's trying to come into her own and there is nothing wrong with that. She's worked hard and I think she's allowed to do what SHE wants to do. <br /><br />I definitely think part of who she is, is a great entertainer, but when I think of what she represents as an artist I dunno. I guess she's like jambalaya a little bit of everything. I don't have a problem with the nudity or language. I mean if you like hip-hop or rock & roll you kinda can't complain about nudity and explicit language. I mean at least she's a women expressing her sexuality on her own terms. That's what I love about Madonna, Cher and Janet Jackson.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112304266287099661.post-32965531303656744272013-12-19T17:49:01.080-05:002013-12-19T17:49:01.080-05:00Thank you for sharing your thoughts Tiffany. You a...Thank you for sharing your thoughts Tiffany. You are so right when you say that men are hunters and you have to give them something to chase. Beyonce is a married woman and if her husband wasn't ok with her "nudity", she more than likely would strongly reconsider her entertainment choices. Partition is about her and her husband (not random men) doing naughty things so I saw the outfits and nudity made sense for the climate of the song. If she chooses to give her audience an intimate view of what her and her husband may do, that is her freedom just like we have the freedom to not rock with the project and change the channel if we want.<br /><br />This album was labeled explicit so it's definitely not for the kiddies AT ALL! This is grown Bey, that's no where near the audience she was going after with this project one bit. Maybe because I'm an artist, I don't mind nudity and sexuality as long as it's in an artistic way and not an exploitative way though and the only time I'm half naked is when I'm in a bikini in the summer. Lol. Again, I thank you for chiming in and sharing your thoughts! Happy Holidays!Milanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590733300773203448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112304266287099661.post-46431237281989759892013-12-19T15:31:39.098-05:002013-12-19T15:31:39.098-05:00Milan, I strongly disagree about the sexiness Beyo...Milan, I strongly disagree about the sexiness Beyonce is portraying. I tried to keep quiet because in all honesty I have not purchased the album and only watched/heard the sneak peeks on iTunes. So I don't feel comfortable speaking to the whole project when I haven't seen it in full. For me, it all started when my 6 year old daughter wanted to watch the video for the single: Best Thing I Never Had, and here is Beyonce in a bra/panties/garter for the duration of the video. I didn't find it appropriate in the least and I could not find the connection of that outfit to the song. And while I do like what I have heard of the "Partition" track, I understand that style song/video might not be suitable for my kid and would monitor the video before I watched it with her. But she has turned me off with the nudity, all.the.time. Don't get me wrong, I do admire her work ethic and what she has accomplished for herself. But I also believe we can be women and sexy without always walking around half *ss naked for no apparent reason. Can't we leave something to the imagination. As the old saying goes, "Men are hunters" and they are in it for the chase. So tease them a little sure and when u get home, that's when u show him who & what it's all about.
