| Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE There are concrete and specific reasons that any one of us dislikes a particular performer’s music. Not that I spend much energy at all thinking about Beyoncé’s, but speaking for myself, I dislike her music because I find her music to not be on a... | |
| 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.

The fact is that most of the material recorded by Billie is in fact, and like Ella’s…….also part of... |
