waaaaaaaaaaiit, beyoncé is now tied with norah jones, lauryn hill and alicia keys for most grammys for a female artist?

does anyone else think this is bizarre/wrong?

yeah. their lyrics (and her lyrics) are awful.

has she dropped the riffs? i thought she improvised too much. i remember this gospel song they used to sing where they added so much stuff that you couldn't tap your foot to it because it didn't even have a regular beat anymore.

I haven't heard any stolen stuff lately--the last one I remember was the stolen "Edge of Seventeen" Stevie Nicks riff. But I haven't been paying much attention either.

I think she improvises too much, too. A good performer knows where to stop and can usually even keep it in the regular beat.

agreed. christina aguilera goes overboard sometimes too.

Yeah, X-Tina does do that.

I don't know why I like her so much.

Perhaps it's because she can sing, but she doesn't pretend to write songs :)

she does write songs--although she doesn't pretend to. but her singing blows beyonce's, and most everyone else's, out of the water.
