Beyonce Is Overrated
bossip.com

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
