We should have seen this coming. Having had her ego stroked without pause for approximately 15 years straight, Beyonce is — as a result — feeling herself. Like, she's really feeling great about her greatness. Like, she's gone and reached the apex of arrogance. And now — not that she cares — it's up to us peons to determine if, with her new songs "Bow Down" and "I Been On," she's in audacity-overload or, as is usually the argument when it comes to Bey, her new-found attitude is (through clenched teeth) "rightfully deserved."
LET THE GAMES BEGIN....
theaternut, you heard her: BOW.DOWN.
BOW DOWN TO HER HIGHNESS

I saw this the other day on Buzzfeed. They seemed to think it was fierce. I thought it was....strange.
It doesn't seem fierce to me.
It reminded me of one of those Michael Jackson songs where he would lash out at everyone for bashing him. Except no one has really been down on Beyonce so it comes as unnecessarily defensive and off-putting.
And it's not a great song.
Yeah, not exactly a fun song at all.
Another dud.

Because Bee is not a druggie like Whitney or a drinker like Lindsay Lohan, she won't ever have one of those "sadder but wiser" songs. She will continue to "Diana Ross" us with her "fabulousness" until a new generation comes along that doesn't know who she is.
Please do not use Beyonce and Diana Ross in the same sentence again. It is like saying Walmart and Valentino.

Dame, you seem to have a fondness for the word "dud" today
Yuck.
