Beyonce Is Overrated

Beyonce Is Overrated

Beyonce is a very talented individual. Her very first solo album, "Dangerously In Love," reached a quadruple platinum. Her talent goes beyond her singing ability. She is also an actress, appearing in such movies as "Obsessed," "Carmen: A Hip Hopera" and "The Pink Panther." She also is credited as a songwriter. Her accomplishments include so much more and this doesn't even scratch the surface. Why should such an individual be considered overrated? Beyonce is not overrated, but her fans make it so.

Beyonce is put on an unrealistic, god-like pedestal. And to some, she is a goddess. There are those who practice the religion of Beyism. Believers of Beyism established the National Church of Bey in Atlanta, Georgia. They study the beyble, a collection of Beyonce verses and song lyrics.


Aside from her disciples, there is her devout fan base, dubbed the beyhive. Their mission is to defend everything remotely related to Beyonce on social media. The wrath of the beyhive knows no bounds. In 2015, Beyonce was bested at the Grammys by Beck Campbell. The beyhive attacked his Wikipedia page. They deemed him a thief worthy of hell.

Recently, they beyhive has been on a witch hunt after the release of Beyonce's visual album, "Lemonade." In the album, Beyonce heavily alludes to Jay-Z cheating on her. She mentions a "Becky with the good hair." This prompted the Beyhive to search high and low for the alleged "Becky." Rachel Roy was the first suspected culprit. The beyhive destroyed her Wikipedia as well. Beyonce deserves all of her awards and accolades. She has earned them. However, the way she is idolized is extremely overrated. The attacks on her behalf are unnecessary. Stop the Beyism and simply enjoy her music.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
