Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE

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

@sns +1 

Where is my umbrella? Bella, Bella, Bella. I think she should get together with Brittany for a “toxic” tour with special guest Madonna. Match Springsteen concert ticket prices of 10k+ each. Woke is me!!!

@sns   What does "letting go" and "open mind" have anything to do with a performer not meeting your standards?  That may have been your issue(prejudices/biases). As previously stated I have listened to "Lemonade" in its entirety it's just one of > 99% of recordings(ever made) that I never need/want to hear again. That leaves millions of other recordings to discover and possibly enjoy. To make the claim that prejudices/bias and a closed mind is a valid reason why many Audiophiles/Melophiles ignore Beyonce as a serious performer/singer/songwriter/musician is ludicrous!

@dayglow I"m not making this claim for everyone, give me a break. This is my own experience, and what I've observed with certain others over my lifetime.

I still have my prejudices/biases that keep me from ability to enjoy other genres/artists. Are you making claim you're devoid of prejudice/bias of any sort?

Beyonce won't be everyone's cup of tea, nor will any artist or genre for that matter, but the generalized attacks on artists or genres only expose one's biases/prejudices. This type of attack is very transparent and  overt on this thread.
