Maybe you guys' thoughts could help me make my mind up. She was the ideal that black women needed to fit. For the longest time, Beyonce was the rule that black women should strive to become. Beyonce has made big money making black women (and men) wish they could be like her or have her. Is it any surprise that Taylor's wins made more press?īeyonce has always made most of her fanbase love and envy her, and because of that conundrum, she is loved and hated. If you go through the comments on blogs that pander to a mostly white audience (Perez Hilton, Just Jared, DListed, et al), you're going to see that the younger white audience is tired of her and her "beauty standards." I see complaints about her weave, complaints about her usurping the "saint" Lady Gaga (or trying to be her). For me, it definitely makes her a bit greedy and a bit irresponsible. That in and of itself makes her a race traitor to some.

Do I think that she is a major, if not the GREATEST, purveyor of bullshit Eurocentric beauty standards and fuckery to black women and girls? You damned skippy. That would depend on whether or not she actually feels she is black or anything of the sort. But I digress.ĭo I think Beyonce is a race traitor? I don't know.

Years of commercialism, materialism, idiocy and all that other bullshit will do that to you.
#Nicki minaj ft beyonce feeling myself live perez hilton how to#
This is not to say that white people cannot handle good r&b, but the generation of kids coming up these days, black and white, don't know how to handle "soul" because most of them don't have it. Hence, the music became soulless because only half of their soul is in it. It's not like they can't put out something akin to "Weak" by SWV and say "fuck it." They just won't because they are afraid of the response. They are not content with getting money from a small demographic. Black artists no longer want to seem "too black" because the money won't be there if they do. Looking at black music from 10 to 20 years ago, to today, you see a big difference. I already talked about this in my post earlier today. They were singing, and if someone of another race wanted to take a listen, it was what it was. Black artists didn't have to worry about pandering. Because back then, you could be openly for or against anything black. Back then, if you were of any other race listening to "Negro" music, it was what it was. Ella Fitzgerald, at least not to me, wasn't trying to pander to a soul.

Her R&B is soulless because she herself cannot figure out, like Mariah these days, which part of the racial spectrum she wants to pander to. He's not saying anything most of the black intelligentsia in these blog streets hasn't been saying for years now. And for an "Irish bloke" he seems to have hit the nail on the head. I would say that the clean sweep by Taylor Swift AND Beyonce at the Grammy's indicates that the music industry, and pop culture consuming society, is in trouble. But now I think maybe black stars should help African-American women release the hold that blonde hair has had on us." I saw how men respond to girls and women with golden hair. And quite possibly a racist as well.īeyonce had blonde hair at the awards and this prompted black commentator Teshima Walker of National Public Radio to fume: "I know that blonde hair is associated with white women and beauty. So, you would think that after her success at the Grammys, she is an inspiration to black women. Okay, a white, 30-something Irish bloke probably isn't the exact target market for a black woman who purveys a blend of soulless, poptastic R&B and while, in fairness, some of her songs are infuriatingly catchy, let's get real - we're not exactly talking about Ella Fitzgerald here.īut she seems like a pleasant enough modern pop creation who is careful not to say anything that would alienate her fanbase. The virtual clean sweep enjoyed by Beyonce at the Grammys was proof of one thing - modern music is in bad shape.
