Beyonce's First Two Singles From Her New Album Flop


Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce Knowles is on a losing streak. The first two unoriginal songs from her forthcoming album have bombed on the charts. Public feedback has been lukewarm (and that's being generous). The singles "Girls" and "1+1" failed to make any kind of significant dent on the music charts and have been greatly criticized by music fans and bloggers alike.

This is the first time Beyonce has experienced a flop from one of her albums or projects with former group Destinys Child. As the Judiciary Report warned regarding her months before her ill-fated singles were released You're Only As Good As Your Last Hit.

The music industry has become a joke. Barely passable singers, pretending to be skilled songwriters, by stealing others preexisting copyrighted works, passing them off as their own to the public, then collecting millions in undue royalties, in deeds that can only be described as racketeering.

There are so many gifted songwriters in America and all over the world. However, they are not getting the chance they deserve to be heard, in favor of a creativity stifling monopoly that exists in the music industry, where outsiders are not welcome, unless they are willing to sign away their rights and be terribly exploited, in favor of untalented people that have dug their heels into a sector of business they have no talent for. To be clear - stealing is not a talent. it is a crime.

The careers of so many modern mainstream artists, such as Beyonce and Britney Spears, are completely rigged. Payola to gain airplay and sales scams to falsify success via gold and platinum plaques. Awards are heaped on them for fraudulently claiming to do and be things they simply are not - multi-talented.

This is done by labels and management companies in support of an illusion, to create well-rounded artists. However, to do so with the current clay that is lacking the skills in question, they must commit fraud, criminal copyright infringement and grand theft, in stealing others valuable music that is protected by law.

The farce has gone too far, discrediting the music industry to a worldwide audience. Let me leave you with this fact to illustrate my point, regarding the disgraceful disparities, due to the blatant thievery and brazen fraud.

Beyonce, who is frequently sued for stealing other people's copyrighted songs, in criminal violation of U.S. and international law, as she deceitfully placed her name on stolen property and collected millions in other people's money in doing so, has won 19 Grammys in 10 years.

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin can sing her butt off, play the piano and has written some of the music she performed - and she was won 16 Grammys in 55 years. How do you explain that. Beyonce couldn't walk a mile in Aretha's shoes, doesn't have a fraction of the talent and stole all the songs she claimed to write, as illustrated by lawsuits and public complaints, yet has more Grammys in 1/5th the time. Once again, the entertainment industry has become a massive farce that lost all credibility.

Have The iTunes Charts Diminished The Importance Of The Billboard Charts


Have the iTunes music charts lessened the significance of the Billboard music charts? It appears so. In a sign of how much the music game has changed, people are more frequently invoking the iTunes digital downloads charts, as a measure of success, rather than the Billboard music charts, which are more corruptible and open to payola, as air play still figures into tabulations.

As a result, songs by internet stars such as Rebecca Black, have placed higher on the iTunes Charts, which is based on digital sales, than artists such as Beyonce and Rihanna. This is not a negative development, as it is leveling the playing field, much in the same manner YouTube has done for those that can't get on MTV or BET.

It should be noted, iTunes does not include sales of physical CDs, only albums in digital format. However, for indie artists, iTunes is better than nothing and has become a useful tool in living their dreams of being an entertainer.

Rebecca Black

One has to remember, Billboard has been so corrupted from its inception, for a very long time, black artists were largely kept off all mainstream charts, even though they outsold some of their white counterparts, in blacklisting that began to loosen its grip twenty years ago. For many years, country music was also disregarded by the Billboard album charts, as a small, select group of labels heads, who set the agenda in music, deemed it too backwater and unsophisticated - in spite of the fact country artists were outselling pop and rock stars.

However, Hollywood is not happy with the current developments, regarding the impact of the iTunes charts and YouTube, as aspects of it are out of their control (surprise, surprise). You see, Hollywood, the music industry included, runs like the mafia (because they are the mafia). The industry is chock full of antitrust, monopolies, extensive price fixing, payola, Billboard chart rigging and racketeering, all illegal under U.S. law.

For a time, the industry loudly complained and wanted to own a great chunk of iTunes and collect more royalties, after Apple rescued them from the destructive clutches of Sean Fanning (Napster). As they see it, they should be the only ones to make money, even if the copyrights, patents and trademarks involved that comprise iTunes, do not belong to them. That's basically Hollywood's attitude towards everything - unbridled greed and theft.
