Oh, I was checking on iTunes and Ariana's album came out an hour early for some reason. Interesting. Sorry, that was kinda random. New music tends to show up at 11:00 p.m. ET on iTunes. Oh, I never knew that, I though it was 12:00

No offense to you Beyoncé stans, but Drunk It Love was the only major hit off that album, and XO and Partition did ok, everything else flopped. it's not even offending its the truth lol

I'm sorry y'all I will keep facts out of this, but literally solo 2-4 major hits, no shade. What counts as major? Would that only include top 2, if so that's kinda true Thank you for understanding, we love her . I just meant she has 3 or 4 #1 hits or top 2 moments. Medley i can see when you have 18 but when you have 2 or 3 just perform those songs in full.

The fact that Nicki's 1.5 minute 'Anaconda' performance was better than Bey's tho. Truly a MOMENT.
Everything went downhill after the opening.

bits and pieces of this album. I though since she is getting this award for her epic videos of the past she would do snippets of her actual hits, all 2 or 3 of them Don't do it bitch.

It's the truth, but the impact of the album triumphs all of that.

I don't know why I continue to watch these awards year after year thinking it's going to be different than last year and actually worth my time.

Why can't people just accept Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter as their Lord and Savior and stop doing #the absolute most to take away how fantastic that performance was?
Are you guys gonna bring up that Work It Out flopped too? Like ????

Partition and Drunk in Love are epic. It's her modern day Roof and Breakdown. Might not be #1 hits but still EPIC. It's just that singer, songwriter of the other two songs had 15 other MAJOR hits at the point, and could afford those less than successful moments.

Lmao at Nicki favoring Cosmopolitan's tweet of Rita Ora's reaction to "Anaconda".
Oral should not be shading anyone.

Big albums don't always have big singles, especially for people that have reached a certain level who are no longer desperate for a chart position (such as U2, Madonna, etc, ever heard of them?), who are not looking to make "radio deals", "iTunes discounts" or a thousand performances all over the place. The fact that she sold albums without hits on the radio further proved that she's on a different league than "the other pop chicks".

I would've loved to see CICI actually work it out and close the show. She is beautiful, can dance and command a stage too. I really want her back to add sizzle to these award shows

I don't see that seranio happening commonly.
