we don't need to solve anything because it's an old topic already discussed in 2011

Am I The Only Who Thinks Beyoncé Days Of Being On Top Are Over?  These Past Few Weeks Have Marked Some Major Controversies For Her.  First, There Was The Leaked Info That “Lemonade” Numbers Were Severely Inflated, Then This Now.  Not To Mention, “Black Parade” Flopped So Hard.  Even “Mood Ring” Stayed At Number 1 On ITunes Longer.   

Internationally, Beyonce has been declining since the end of the Sasha Fierce era. 4 was....somewhat of a underperformance. Then in 2013, she made a comeback with Self-titled, which made her quite famous outside of the US. However, after the end of the BEYONCE era, she started declining steadily. Lemonade might have been a hit in the US, but underperformed WW. In its first week, Lemonade only sold 50k copies outside of the US.

About time. Although she pales in comparison to Gaga’s double standards.

What Beyoncé did is not okay. Black face is black face. It NEVER is, nor will be okay  

I’m disappointed in her

If this were anyone else this would’ve already reached 20 pages of hateful comments but because it’s Beyonce, her fans think she can do no wrong. She could mock Asians and people would make an excuse about how she’s mocking them to shed light about how it’s wrong  

[Slave_4_u]

I don’t like anything she has put out after circus.

edit: wrong thread sorry.

[jennyj]

Beyonce's done black face and white face tbh. She's fake all around and jumps on every bandwagon.

A lot of really gross and immature comments in here.

Lets not with the stupid stan war stuff right now and try to have a mature conversation.

I’m not black. I can’t comment on whether or not this is okay. Personally I’m not sure where I stand on this. It seems to me she was trying to use her platform here to embrace black culture, which Beyoncé is wonderful at doing. Lemonade was beautifully done at amplifying black voices and she continues to do that. But this project? I don’t know. I’m not black. I would love to hear what black people say about this.

It reminds me of Jessica Lange doing her Frida Kahlo tribute. I remember people were very divided on that. However I don’t think it’s appropriate to fully compare that situation with this since Jessica is white and Beyoncé is black. idk. Thinking out loud here lol

As someone who is mixed race, I don’t agree with what she did. Black face is never okay.

She bleached her skin too. Is it only problematic when someone goes darker? Asking for a friend.  👀
