Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE

**** I was only commenting on how odd it seems to me to take the time to just let people know your opposition to a choice they have made. Do you poke your head inside a restaurant to let a patron know the meatloaf is overrated? ****

This common sentiment is always a curious one. There is no “opposition”; all are free to listen to whatever they want. However, this is a DISCUSSION forum and you have chosen to post (discuss) the choice that you have made. Are others not allowed to discuss and post their opinions as well; simply because they don’t support yours?

@frogman We all look back and laugh at the ridiculous prudishness of people sanctimoniously reading the lyrics to “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Good Golly Miss Molly” with a comically haughty tone.

It’s a very unintentionally funny thing to watch. 

keep those dog whistles tuned!

Seems like another artist whose persona/marketing gets in the way of possible enjoyment. I'm not one who enjoys the constant marketing hype or peering into the personal life of famous people, therefore, have tendency to ignore these artists. Have to say, on more than one occasion have been pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed some of these artist's output, Beyonce included in this.

Sometimes its difficult to let go of certain prejudices/biases towards certain artists and genres, letting go has allowed me to enjoy far more music than I would have with closed mind.

"She's really popular and the artists I like aren't so much, so it can't be any good!!"
