Hi
Hi Jen. I hope you are doing fine. How did you feel about the self-tilted not winning AOTY? Were you disappointed? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 15:48, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi @Jivesh boodhun:! I'm great thank-you, I hope you're doing well? As for your question as to whether I was disappointed, it's yes and no (and I have a long answer!). It's no because I did not share the same enthusiasm as Beyoncé's fans that she was "on lock" to win it. If you look at NARAS' voting history, particularly for Album of the Year, I think it's clear that succesful "urban" albums are shunned in favour of less succesful pop/rock records. Take Frank Ocean's Channel Orange losing to Mumford & Sons' Babel, or them not even nominating Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. This, coupled with the fact that Beyoncé is easily her most daring work, both sonically and thematically, meant that I watched the Grammys suspecting that she would not win.
- That said, the thought that Beyoncé would win AOTY popped into my head on the day of its release. I watched Daft Punk win for Random Access Memories just two months after Beyoncé dropped, and thought it was promising that the Grammys had chosen not to award a less succesful, more conservative record. It was only when it drew closer to the ceremony that I did some more research into past winners, predictions and generally how albums are voted for, that I realised that its chances were skewed. I found Kanye's reference to the VMA incident with Taylor Swift funny until I realised he was actually serious, and although I found the whole "Beck should respect Beyoncé's artistry" comment ludicruous, I do believe that NARAS made the wrong decision. Not that Beck's Morning Phase is not brilliant, because it is (I listened to it, along with all the other nominees before the ceremony). It's just that Beyoncé's nuances show it, in my opinion, to be a much stronger album; of those nominated, there is little doubt in my mind that it will be (and is) the record with the most impact.
- However, I suppose in some ways its fitting, because Beyoncé's intentions behind self-titled was to make the music she had always wanted to make. It was presented as a work that wasn't concerned with sales or promotion or accolades, but an attempt to make the best music she ever could. If her statement with Beyoncé, best expressed on "Haunted", is true—"Soul not for sale/ Probably won't make any money of this/ Oh well"—then losing AOTY is not hugely concerning. So yeah, I watched the Grammys last week apprehensively, hoping that she would win, but knowing that those chances were quite slim. Even then, the real shock was that Morning Phase won and not In the Lonely Hour. I'm still surprised she didn't win Best Urban Contemporary Album, but ultimately she did win three awards, so it cannot be regarded as a total snub. Anyway, I've dragged on a bit long here, but I have been thinking a lot about this, especially because I wish to take the Beyoncé article much further in the coming months, although only after I've rewritten some sections as I'm not totally happy with it at the moment. Best wishes, and again, I hope you're well! —JennKR | ☎ 21:36, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- I am fine as well. Thanks. Just very busy with work. I enjoyed reading your post. You are simply great. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 03:37, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Beyoncé political party
Re [1], her membership of the Republican Party is sourced in the article to [2], however I'm not sure that she is (partisanly) politically active enough to warrant inclusion of this fact in the infobox. Also she may have changed party since this journalist found out, because I think in the US voters simply tick a box on a voter registration form to formally join a political party. But yeah, just thought I'd let you know that it is verifiable that she is/was a registered Republican.

Hi, I've recently been working on this article and just wanted to get in touch with a native speaker who would review it for me, so that everything is grammatically correct and flows nicely. + I was thinking of adding to the article a phonetically written version of her name, if you know how to make those that would be great. I would really appreciate your help. ArturSik (talk) 05:36, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I undid your removal and revision of the songwriting content at
- @Isento: You reverted my edit in order to make the section an explicit "controversy" one instead of a general "songwriting" one, and cherry-picked negative comments from completely random musicians instead of the larger number of positive comments from her actual collaborators that fully explained her songwriting ability and style. It is unclear to me how it can be seen that you have been editing this section from a neutral point of view and with good faith. I'd really like to discuss this further but your previous harassment of me on here took a toll on my mental health and made editing an unenjoyable and stressful activity for me. Assuming you remain intolerant of me, I hope you do the right thing for this section and represent Beyonce's songwriting clearly and neutrally. Thank you.
