Do you think she has charisma?


Many people have ranted about her lack of charisma. But personally I disagree with that. I think she has plenty charisma. What are your thoughts?

reply

I think she has charisma.

reply

I`m glad that you agree with me :)

reply

No and I can prove it. No one can even describe her personality.

reply

And where`s your proof?

reply

That's the proof. People with charisma have strong personalities and stand out because of it. Everyone aware of them has a sense of who the person is. You don't get that with Beyonce. She has been around for decades now and people don't really have any idea who she really is as a person.

reply

Fair enough.

This is true. I'd never really thought about it before, but you're right. I know nothing about Beyonce's personality. For such a famous person in an age of social media and reality TV, she's done a brilliant job of keeping herself private.

Even with that though, she can still be a charismatic performer, can't she?

The first definition of 'charisma' that comes up when I Google it is this: the ability to attract the attention and admiration of others, and to be seen as a leader

As a performer (as opposed to a personality. Which we don't really know much about.), she definitely has that trait, doesn't she?

Who (many people) says that she doesn’t?

Well, here are some people who`s claimed so: https://moviechat.org/tt0383216/The-Pink-Panther?page=2, https://www.datalounge.com/thread/27689662-omfg-why-was-jessica-simpson-ever-a-thing- and https://www.boston.com/culture/tv/2013/02/13/beyonc-in-search-of-charisma/.

Beyonce definitely has charisma. You can argue other things, but that is the one thing she does have. Can she sing as good as Etta James. Maybe not. I don’t think charisma is the word you want. I don’t think anyone is ranting. The links are weak.
1st link - says the movie is awful and everyone says the same - What was Steve Martin thinking. Is Clive Owen’s role necessary. Chugging of Richard Dreyfus. Beyonce can’t act.
2nd link is of Ashlee Simpson.
3rd one - he’s a reputable TV Critic of the Boston Globe and is commenting on a documentary of hers in 2013. He doesn’t see how Beyoncé can compare to Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson. Many can agree on that. He asks if she’s relevant. This is what bothers this guy. Her relevance. Actually, his question is she really worthy of greatness?

reply

I don’t think charisma is the word you want.

I don`t want to sound condescending, but yes, it was ;)

reply

We’re all in agreement then. Beyoncé has charisma. Except for the guy you mention at the Boston Globe doesn’t think so. And one poster here who says we don’t know her. You’ll have to define charisma “compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.”

reply

Fair enough. Sorry about that.

reply

I can't name a single song of hers, but have watched her live Stevie Wonder tribute medley video scores of times and can only attest she is an *immaculate* live performer, fwiw. Never heard her talk.

reply

She doesn't seem to have a definable personality, but she has 'stage presence'.

reply

Funny you ask that, because some gays are trying to make her diva, but she's just too meh. I've never bought it and no one will know her name in 20 years.
