Why Beyonce Had Album Of The Year

Beyonce has recently released her new album called "lemonade". Rumors have been spread and I can't tell anyone if this is for sure yet, but the fans are saying that Jay Z cheated on Beyonce and that is what her album is all about. It's all over the world and people are saying it is true. Beyonce's album was a big hit and as soon as some of her songs came out, people started questioning.

I chose Beyonce for this paragraph because she is an inspiration to me and all other people around the world. She is truly Queen Bee and definitely runs

One of Aaliyah’s contributions to her genres of music would be that she brought back the teen girl's voice for R&B. Due to the fact that when she first started her career she was fifteen years old. Her career started when she did a cover for the song “At your best.” By the Isley Brothers. When Aaliyah dropped her first single “Back & Forth.” It was a hit because Aaliyah was a young talented solo artist. Since she was a solo artist she was appealed more by a younger audience. Due to the fact that she wasn’t like the older singers such as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

For nearly twenty years, Beyoncé has lived her life in the public eye yet she has always kept her cool, been submissive, and rather quiet when it came to her personal endeavors however after releasing the film “Lemonade”, we are able to see her in a vulnerable light.

Beyoncé Still Hasn’t Earned Her Album Of The Year Grammy” he addresses the idea that although Beyoncé was able to encourage black women to be proud and free, she also she missed the mark by adding raunchy, over the top content to her vulnerability.

In 1982, Michael Jackson released one of the most iconic songs/music videos the world has ever seen. “Thriller” is a Halloween classic, and has been a hit since the day it was released. The Thriller Music video is roughly 13 minutes long, and is classified as a “short film”. 34 years later, the iconic Beyoncé released her album “Lemonade.” Lemonade is made up of 12 songs, and each song has its own separate video, but all the videos somehow connect and the videos were turned into an hour-long film.

The main criteria Cowie bases his judgement of the album on is the details Lamar used. He gives an example of Lamar’s descriptive skills by explaining the song “The Art of Peer Pressure” where Lamar gives you a glimpse of his world describing the street corners and his state of mind at the time. Cowie explains how “Poetic Justice” begins seductive but the underlying message is the confrontation Lamar faces. Lamar expresses inner moral conflict towards his battle with peer pressure and alcoholism. Cowie also base his judgement on skits. He says Lamar’s storytelling is with voicemails and cassette

Beyonce said Whitney had inspired her to sing R&B and continue her legacy. An important decision she made was starting her solo career. She didn’t know if she’d continue to grow fame. That could have been one of the best decisions of her life. She released her first solo album, “Dangerously in Love” in 2003. That recording became a huge success, selling millions of copies and winning 5 Grammy Awards.
