I am crying out to JESUS. "Halo" and IIWAB were both huge.
Not a ballad making you whitewashed.
See how he limited her to Urban music.
You're wrong. Allow me to break this down.
Your argument was that black people's sales are reflective of what type of music they sing.
I explained that this isn't true as you think.
'fas released what many would consider to be surefire mainstream HITS. Like "Halo" and "If I Were A Boy", etc. they were very "safe" songs.
But none of these songs did nearly as good or solidified her status more than "Single Ladies" did. "Irreplaceable" was kind of a ballad but it was a sassy ballad. Very much a "roll my neck, tell this nigger how it is" song. And it did extremely well for her as well, way better than any of the safer mess she put out.
I'm all for an artist who is multidimensional. I mean I stan for GHan and GODni Braxton. C'mon, give me more credit than that. But you guys seem a little delusional to the fact that people love 'fas more when she's swinging that horse hair around than when she's giving prim proper ballads.
