That is exactly what the article is saying though!

They are of equal or potentially slightly higher levels of success as Beyonce, yet she works a lot harder.

If anything the article is saying she deserves more success, which I would agree with, you seem to just be arguing with yourself having misunderstood the article.

The article doesn't seem to be attacking her, saying she's crap, saying she doesn't deserve success or anything the way you seem to be arguing against, it's simply saying Look how much more work Beyoncé does than her peers, yet somehow she isn't getting higher payoff for her hard work, why is that?
Exactly...the Beyonce fans are being too defensive to understand what the article is saying...Beyonce isn't being attacked at all!!!

And about Britney - she is just manufactured to the core - like a corspe forced on stage to perform. I wouldn't compare Britney and Beyonce together as artists!
Please dont kid yourself, Beyonce is as manufactured as Britney.

I'd give more credit to Bey though. As she can sing ok.

Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Madonna, Britney, Rihanna are all as manufactured as each other.

I think Alicia Keys, Christina and JT are much less manufactured if they don't like something they'd actually say it.

I think artists that are less manufactured sell less records because they don't have a brand to sell to people.
People buy into image rather than talent.

I disagree.
Lady GaGa's got her own style, it's not the typical thing a record company would come up with.
Rihanna actually, went against her record company's wishes with GGGB, and now RR.
Madonna? How you can say the Queen of pop is more manufactured than JT and CA?

Beyonce is manufactured?!!!!!!!!!

Don't you know what she went through from the age of 5 to get to where she is now?!!!!!

Beyonce is her own woman, she takes all the decisions. What she says goes on

Her first album the record company were against her choices and said that she had no hits on the album but she didn't listen to them and then had five hits.

Second album. She went and recorded the album in two weeks without anyone knowing including the record label. She paid for everything and released it within a month.

Let's not also forget that she directs her tour

SO how is she manufactured when she can sing and dance and one with a great talent!!!!

How do we know if she wouldn't be as successful if she took a break? It hasn't happened yet so when she does take a long break between albums, THEN we can decide whether she needs to churn out albums just to stay popular.
