Beyoncé Knowles has been a popular music artist for as long as some young people can remember, and she has been a positive role model throughout her career. She started her climb to international fame in the early 1990’s. She teamed up with a group of pop-R&B artists to form Destiny’s child. At Destiny’s Child’s peak the group had released a number of number-one hits. Since the group broke up, she has made a prominent name for herself, and is now a household name in American culture. This award season, like many, the pop diva is up for a plethora of awards; including the billboard music awards, and Ellen DeGeneres’ “Webby” award.
Beyoncé is very intriguing as an individual because of her control over her career. The dubbed “Queen Bee” has worked hard to create a personal persona that would last in the constantly shifting market of mass media. Beyoncé is a smart entertainer because of her experience working within the various mediums of entertainment media. She has performed amazingly as a singer, dancer, and actress. This makes any performer a triple-threat; someone who is well versed in every aspect of performing arts.
The way that Knowles dips into many types of projects allows her persona to take on more qualities to be discussed by the public. Music reviewers applaud her way to release album after album, while still giving listeners a new perspective of her persona that was constructed for her fans.
Beyoncé Knowles is said to be a positive beacon for feminism, and role-model for America’s children. She creates her music to be popular, though often includes details that are not always addressed in pop music today. The pop singer believes that women should own their sexuality, though not in a way in which they are not causing others to constantly objectify them. This is interesting because Knowles’ entire career rests on the expectation that people will buy her as a product.
The implications of objectification are complicated, and have far-reaching implications. A fact about the production of Knowles’ “feminist manifesto,” titled 4, reveals that she employed only six women out of the forty-five people who were credited to have worked on the album. This is a high number of males collaborating on a project that was meant to revolutionize female-pop-music. In fact, not a single woman was on her writing team for the songs on the album that addressed her sexual energy.
With this information, the album seems less about being a strong woman, and standing up for equality as a feminist, and takes on more themes of self-acceptance, and owning one’s own personality traits. Many feminist writers are putting down her attempt at labeling her work feminist, and abhor the media that constantly refers to her glorified status as a self-proclaimed feminist. They argue that she constructs a feminist front. She places herself on a stage in front of an entirely female ensemble and belts about how women run the world, when so many men have influence on her empire. Whether or not Beyoncé Knowles is a feminist, or a positive role model for young women is hard to say; in the very least, her albums have facilitated a discussion between academics and the common folk alike.

Great – I should definitely say I’m impressed with your blog. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related info. It ended up being truly simple to access. Great job…
I’m impressed, I must say. Genuinely rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail to the head. Your notion is outstanding; the catch is something which too few people are speaking intelligently about. We’re delighted which i found this in my look for something regarding this.
What are you saying, man? I recognize everyones acquired their own thoughts and opinions, but genuinely? Listen, your web site is cool. I like the hard work you put into it, specially with the vids and the pics. But, appear on. Theres gotta be a better way to say this, a way that doesnt make it appear like everybody here is stupid!
Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!

Hey there! Wanted to share with you some very important news! Did you hear that the elite are planning a world where we all have a RFID microchip implanted in our body? This will be part of a one world cashless society, making us total slaves to them. More importantly, did you know that this microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible(Revelation 13:16-18)? “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…” Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. The Jewish people are in the process of building the Third Temple prophesied by the prophet Daniel, Jesus and Apostle Paul. They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the world. This information is public, and you can see it for yourself. Do not be deceived, this man will be thee Antichrist! For proof of all this and much much more, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM Jesus loves you, He is calling you!
Posts are great! Thanks for the author
The TV teaches us that women can be anything – but they have to be pretty doing it, which I think is a horrible message for women. Holywood and the music industry are the worst.
I dont think women who have had plastic surgery and whos fame is so much about beeing ‘sexy’ and ‘pretty’ are good role models in general.
