Beyonce
Askmen.com runs a survey of the most desirable woman. They ask the voters to look past just looks and take into account “the character traits that they would prize in a girlfriend or wife, such as strength of personality, ambition or intelligence.” Here is the link: Link
This year’s winner is Beyonce Knowles.
This is a good picture of her but I have always thought she was overrated.
Is Beyonce overrated?
Comments (126)
Yes. Very.
Hey, look at that…first! That NEVER happens, until now. :O) Have a great day, Dan!
yes
I think so.
She’s beautiful, ambitious, talented, goal-achieving, and seems to be level-headed. Sounds good to me.
Maybe a little. I like her, for the most part, and she was amazing in “Dreamgirls”. Hmm. I don’t really have an opinion on this one.
Yes!
I heard she’s got stank breath.
i think shes most definetly over rated, i wouldnt date her
maybe you should give a little more information than just a picture. Like…. what were some of the personality attributes that she was given credit for that would make her a desirable wife or girlfriend? I don’t know much about her personally so I can’t say if she’s overrated or not without that information.
Yes
yeah, she is great but a lil over-rated indeed.
Yep.
I don’t think so. I’ve seen her on talk shows and she’s very sweet with a level head about her.
i don’t really think so
I don’t know – I’ve heard the name, but I’m not really familiar with her…
I kinda like her, and don’t think she’s very overrated. Maybe a little teeny weeny bit.
Honk honk.
At least she doesn’t flash her vagina.
Totally/
She’s extremely overrated!
How are men supposed to be able to look past the looks to someone they don’t know? A lot of these gals could be spoiled losers, and no one would be the wiser (unless they fought back at paparazzi). Even if they have done admirable things, they could still be annoying to be around. I know if I were around Beyonce a lot, I’d probably have to ask her all the time to quit singing.
Most of the so called superstars are overrated. They tell people to treat them like normal human beings then go pull a Madonna or a Michael Jackson…
Yes very damn overrated.
Yeah, right. Askmen.com totally put Beyonce’s ambition, intelligence, and character over her looks.
Whether she’s over-rated or not, I can’t answer.
I dont think so..
Not as overrated as, say Jessica Simpson.
I think she’s pretty and talented. A bit overexposed, but so are most modern celebrities.
yes! her body certainly is beautiful…. but i don’t know about intellect, personality, strength. from what i have read she seems like a diva.
wow, we women sure don’t like this question…
but here’s my two cents: how do they know about this personality or intelligence? other than what her publicist has thrown out there.
I don’t care and I don’t see why I should.
I don’t care and I don’t see why I should.
With the current obsession with reality TV exposing every aspect of the stars lives, you can hardly help catching bits and pieces of stuff as you click past A&E and so forth. From her beginnings with her fellow group members, she has always appeared to have a little more depth, to think about what she does, to care about family, and yes, to not publicly flash her vagina lol.
She has good looks, she can use three, four, and five syllable words with great facility, has a positive attitude, seems to have remained drug-free so far, and doesn’t just do ANYTHING on stage or in public for publicity. According to one interview, she has created an on-stage persona so she can get in to that character so she can perform with the requisite bumps and grinds without stressing over it. Hmm.
At the very least she is a little deeper than a lot of the superficial nothings who will do “anything for publicity” and who are constantly going through treatment for drugs, dietary problems, displaying incidents of acting-out in public that they have to explain or apologize for later. Is Beyonce a family person? Certainly more than a lot of her direct celebrity competition. Is she overrated? I don’t think so if you’re talking about this competition. I don’t know of anyone in her genre of performer that would have more going for her to be able to be called marriageable.
I think she deserves what she’s gotten.
Way overrated.
I don’t think she’s that overrated. She deserves a lot of credit, she’s worked hard to make it to the top and she’s beautiful.
When my younger brother first saw Austin Powers was when he first became aware of Beyonce. And didn’t like her because she was “black”. (doesn’t find black women very beautiful) And then later he found out she was in the music industry, and changed his mind and thought she was okay, even pretty good.
He hair is a little bit freaky in Goldmember. Got to admit that. ha ha.
intelligence, and character
How would I know? I don’t know her. How do you rate those things in a singer if you don’t know them personally?
Britney Spears is overrated. Mary Kate and Ashley Olson are overrated. Celebrities that do crap like drugs or become anorexic are overrated, and also bad role models.
I really don’t know all that much about Beyonce Knowles, but I have never heard anything bad about her, really. Actually, just look at her – how many young female celebrities do you see that actually look like a female instead of some kind of giant stick-bug? She seems to me to be the kind of celebrity that girls could look up to – much better than a lot of the other choices we have in the celebrity world.
Why do you think she’s overrated anyway, Dan? Is it because she isn’t in the news constantly for doing stupid crap, but people still like her and talk about her a lot?
I am not that impressed by her. Perhaps I am still holding grudges over the radio over playing what I consider the worst song EVER. “Bills” She is a very beautiful woman, but I certainly cannot attest for her character. I would say there are lots of other women I would consider more desireable.
Actually, I’d like to add to my previous comment – I think a celebrity that actual does positive things (like charity) instead of dumb things (like attention-whoring media stunts or drugs) deserves to be highly rated.
very overrated. she is only famous because she shakes her “booty” all over television. and makes some catchy songs with some lyrics that are less impressive to me than just about anything.
Why did you change sites?

I get bored easily.
Sorry for any confusion.. Aha..
And, I’m flattered you noticed! (Hehe)
i don’t think she is overrated, but her music pains me. not a big fan of that.
Maybe a little, but definately not as overrated as some.
Say one Brittany, or Gwen….
I think all celebrities are overrated when it comes to looks (not to mention a few other things…).
She’s not ugly though.
yes. i can’t stand her.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she’s still my favorite though…. she seems nicer then the rest but i gues i wouldn’t know!
She’s a pretty girl. Her best asset is her beautiful smile. I don’t know her personality and I don’t think I ever heard a whole song sung by her (mostly because I despise that style). If she rated “the most desirable woman” that is waaaaaaaay over-rated. Famous women are generally not appealing to me at all. They are stuck on themselves and unfortunately unfamous women try to mimic that too thinking it’s what a good man wants….it’s really getting bad out here in the singles jungle.
I think she’s GORGEOUS, but I don’t know anything about her character or personality.
P.S. I want a follow-up post on that amputee story, if you ever hear something.
How would I know? Are the people who’re doing the rating over-rated?
“Who will rate the raters?” – Plato.
naww she has got it all going on!
So who would be your #1 fantasy girlfriend?
She’s beautiful for sure. And her voice is amazing. As for, “personality, ambition or intelligence”….I understand the ambition, but how do we know what the other two are like? We don’t. From what I’ve heard she’s quite the diva. And most men don’t like that in a girlfriend or wife. Or maybe they do and I’ve just been approaching things from the wrong angle. Either way, I’d say she’s a bit overrated. She’s nothing special.
Who cares. She’s entertaining and that’s all that really matters right?
I don’t know much about her. Based solely on that picture…? Her hair, jewelry, and outfit are off-putting. Definitely not my type.
Looking over the rest of their Top 10 confirms my suspicions that I don’t really care who is overrated or not.
I think that any celeb is overrated. They are elevated to a level of near perfection in our society. Those who donate millions to charity are looked at as heros, while those who donate their last dollar are over looked.
Whoa. I just noticed something. You’re posting a lot of pictures of nice-looking young women lately…
I don’t know, I personally know very little about her, other than the fact she has an ugly boyfriend.
I think she’s very talented…i don’t know about over-rated though…
*HUGS*
I don’t know, but a possible cure for cancer sounds like a better thing to post about.
Yes, she is overrated. I doubt we even know very much about who she actually is since we generally only know what the press wants us to know about people and it usually is not accurate. She is not especially attractive in my opinion but there are not very many celebrities who I find attractive.
she’s over-rated.
actually, the entire entertainment industry is over-rated.
I don’t really know, but I’m not too happy about the fur she uses in her clothing line.
I disagree that the picture you posted is a good shot. She looks like she’s trying to do the Tyra Banks thing, but very poorly. Beyonce has always gotten on my nerves and I think she is way too overrated!
I agree. Beyonce is nice, and I wouldn’t kick her out of bed. However, she is definitely overrated.
Do I care?
No. She’s fabulous!
cheers,
m
DEFINETLY NOT — she is an amazing singer/songwriter/actress — she has alot of true talent.
I have no idea. I read her name all over the place but I can’t say that I have ever heard her sing (or does she do sit-com’s?)
very fucking much so.
and her solo thing sucks compared to destiny’s child.
shes fucking overdramatic and over the top and not in a good way.
yea i think so. i see her becoming the next whitney houston though. (crack)
Absolutely not
She’s gorgeous, and humble
And you never read about her doing anything asinine in the news…
Yes but the thing about Beyonce is that she is actually a quiet, polite, and humble person. Even though she goes nuts in videos and on stage, she’s a regular girl just like everyone else.
She doesn’t seem to show up in the tabliods and entertainment news stories doing stupid things like Paris Hilton and the like, so I’d say she’s not overrated. She seems to be a decent person, and her voice is great.
yeah, but i only think that because basically no one should be that rated.
Yes, she is completely overrated.
No, she’s NOT overrated. She’s got gorgeous legs, and has a killer body. She branched out from Destiny’s Child to do her own thing, and was actually successful because she’s not a bad singer. She can dance, and she’s got a nice face without looking like she’s always trying to hard. She’s been dating the same guy for a while, so she’s not one of those stupid celebrities going around spreading herpes and being a general weight on society. Beyonce deserves the top spot.
Probably so but I like her alot.
to the left, to the left, everything you own in a box to the left
yup.
Depends on how she is i the sack.
no
she’s gorgeous and is actually a legit celebrity
Yes.
Yeah, she’s pretty overrated.
I don’t know anything about her besides this picture. White is more attractive.
I don’t think so.
All celebrities are overrated.
she’s pretty, but she’s not amazing, and i highly doubt that all the men who took that survey actually pay attention to the personality traits of the women they’re rating.
Perhaps a little, but I think she’s one of HollyWood’s better role models.
naw
yes. I realized that last year when they had her sing basically all the nominated songs at the Oscars.
She’s good at a certain type of music, but there are tons of women out there with better voices.
I cannot stand her. She looks like she is a giant puddle. She’s so sweaty looking.
She talks like she has food in her mouth, and her voice is UNBEARABLE!
She can’t sing, and can’t act, she virtually has no talent.
But I’m here on my comp and she’s out there making 3905323523525234094 million every time she breaths. So I guess this opinion doesn’t really count.
indeed.
beyonce knowles is beautiful inside out. she’s talented, determined, and a go-getter. she is deffy not overrated.
plus she’s not one of those “in-over-my-head” celebs. you never see her flaunting about her private life or.. private parts lol.
HELL YES!!!
Yeah, definitely!
Incredibly.
Yeah, I think so.
She doesn’t seem as bad as the other slutty media whores, though. She’s got a bit of class.
No, she’s extremely talented. She’s good at pretty much everything she does, plus she’s a hottie hotterson.
I wouldn’t call myself a fan of hers, but I can’t deny the fact that she has talented and is very beautiful. She might be a little overrated, but compared to the likes of Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson, she isn’t.
yeah i think so.
Very much so. Not much of a fan, to be honest.
she is not much of a singer.
I wouldn’t mind looking like her. Based on looks, nah.
They did a very interesting interview on her in the magazine “Parade” (I get this from my local newspaper) and it was talking about her point of views. One of the lines was talking about how her “stage self” wasn’t who she really was, and that she wouldn’t like that enticing/ sexual personality if she met herself. She talked about when she’s performing she becomes a completely different person.
The thing I don’t understand is why she still does it.
i personally think she is.
no, she’s an overall a good person. She doesn’t put her relationships out in the public, she’s intelligent, and she has a good head on her shoulders.
Yes, very.
In terms of past musical choice, I would say she is over-rated. That is just IMO. But in terms of recent growth and effort, I must say she has risen in my eyes as an ambitious, talented, and worthwhile women. However, I doubt none of us know her personally. Perhaps then, we should all refrain from judgement. Whoopssss. Too late.
Who is Beyonce? What does she sing? There is a movie called dream girls?
I don’t really pay much attention to the whole hollywood thing.
sort of. O-o”
Eh, maybe a little. But then, we don’t know her. Maybe she DOES have good personality, abmition, intelligence, &c. You can’t know that.
She’s pretty hot in that pic but…eh..I’d say her “rating” is well deserved. I wouldn’t mind having her as a singnifigant other for the rest of my life. Jay Z is REALLY lucky…to say the least.
no, i dont think beyonce is overated..i mean, do u see pics of her doing cocaine or having to go to rehab like lindsay lohan or kate moss, or nicole richie being too thin, or paris makin another sex tape? no…
i think beyonce is a great woman, with great curves, shes sexy, talented, wise and she would make a nice partner for me, if i was a guy.
I think the ones in the Top 10 who are really overrated are Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel.
> Overrated in what way? Beauty? Nope! Musical skills? Nope! Acting? Maybe…..
Peace

Um, yeah. She’s totally not the winner.
Yes. Dreamgirls is the biggest reason she made it.
She’s classy. I don’t think she’s overrated.
As a singer, yeah. Idk about her personality.
But she is pretty sexy. Haha.
she wears fur and she doesn’t even write her own music. she is ignorant and stupid.
