they were the masters of their game (pop)

Beyonce is just some manufactured plastic junk with a good voice, much like Mariah Carey

I'm not a fan but I can appreciate she does have a talent, more than other pop singers currently out there.

Um , I don't know what songs of hers you are talking about. I can understand a few singles but if you actually listen to hear album and hear the great music that gets played from that all female band that she put together from her 3rd album I believe it was and also used them for the fourth one as well you wouldn't say that.

I think you need to understand what it means to be the defining music of a generation, it means the music that most represented what people wanted through that time. Name someone who has had more of an impact on the same amount of people, for the same length of time as Beyonce. Who else has been in the top 5 or so artists consistently since 1997? You might not want to acknowledge it, but believe it our generation will be remembered and represented by the likes of Beyonce.

B'Day is the album I'm thinking of which was her second.
